71 Shaken in Crash Landing KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (UPI) An American Airlines Electra carrying 71 persons, including two congressmen, crashed while trying to land during a violent thunderstorm late Monday but no one hurt. was, only apparent injury was a goose-egg-sized lump on the head of 10-month-old Sharon Sue Newman of Mt. Pleasant, Tex. her safety belt kept her from any serious harm.

The big turbo plane, flight 414 from Dallas to via Little Rock, Memphis, Knoxville land Washington, was tossed out control by 44-mile-per-hour wind gusts in a thunderstorm just as it touched down at McGhee-Tyson Airport south of Knoxville. Mrs. Curtis Newman, mother of Sharon Sue, shepherded her fo children out of the wrecked plane first and into a drenching rainstorm. "NAAW, I wasn't scared," said 7-year-old Curtis Newman, "But I got my new tennis shoes wet." His brother, 4-year old Calvin Rex, tugged at his mother's skirt and whimpered: "I wish it wouldn't rain Carolyn, 2, had nothing to The Newman family was flying from Texas to join SFC Curtis Newman who is stationed in Germany with the rmy. Rep.

Clifford Davis, D- and Rep. Dale Alford, both were on the plane en route back to Washington. Alford, recently defeated in a bid for the governorship of Arkansas, was sitting next to Mrs. Davis who sat beside the emergency door. Mrs.

Davis said Alford kept telling her to "keep calm." "I am calm," she retorted. "You're too calm," Alford told her. "Hurry up." Davis, who won Democratic renomination to Congress last week from Tennessee's ninth district Memphis, said the two stewardesses on the plane simply told him to "hurry up." "There wasn't any grass growing under anybody's feet," Mrs. Davis added. All passengers had to be helped down eight feet from the aircraft.

L. T. Barringer of Memphis, traveling with the Davis family, said the smell of oily smoke from the engines frightened the gers, but there was no panic. Most passengers said a red haired man in the second class section prevented any panic by standing up and shouting "we made a good landing." None of them knew his name. Thalidomide Parents to Swap Ideas HAMBURG, Germany -A German attorney, father of a crippled boy whose malformation is blamed on thalidomide, has initiated an association of German families having children deformed by The the idea same druthe association, says lawyer.

Karl Schulte-Hillen, is to promote an exchange of, opinions on medical, psychological and educational problems connected with the lives of such children. "Some 400 families are now united. in our group in Germany I assume that we will soon (have our contacts on an international basis." he said in an interview Monday. "The idea is that parents children with similar deformations should have the closest contacts because they are faced with similar problems." Wife, Sister Are Mothers The lawyer contacted a German pediatrician, Dr. Lenz, in the spring last year after his wife and his sister gave birth to children lacking an arm.

Both mothers had taken. thalidomide during pregnancy. Schulte-Hillen said according to one German expert's estimate the drug caused malformations in 5,000 German babies, including arm, leg, ear, eye and other defects. Schulte-Hillen- said thalidomide had been so popular as a tranquilizer that it was fed to babies to keep them quiet while the parents went to see a movie. Acthree cording to million, one unofficial thalidomide report, were swallowed daily in Germany before it was withdrawn, he added.

Dorothy Ricker- Teenage Mail DEAR MRS. RICKER: When our son was 16 his father and I gave him an expensive ring, the engraving alone cost $30. We told him it was our gift to him for growing up into a fine, cleancut young man, but told him he was not to let any girl wear it. He is a very talented boy and is junior college now. About a week ago I noticed he wasn't wearing the ring.

When questioned, he said he was going steady and the girl (who is 16) wanted to wear it. We were hurt and told him to get the ring back. We suggested that he give her something less valuable, a cheaper ring or an ID bracelet with his name on it. Now, our son is angry with us. I am not an old fogey, but some of these girls and their parents annoy me.

I know our son was wrong, but anyone with any sense should know the ring is valuable and think this girl's parents should have made her return it. I asked my 16-year-old daughter (who is very popular) how she felt about and she agreed with us. She says lots of the girls just want rings to show off and brag about. They wrap string around them to make them fit, and the actual value of the ring means nothing to them. Are we so wrong? MRS.

W. B. DEAR MRS. W. Some young girl's parents permit them to accept much too expensive gifts from boys and it definitely is wrong.

However, do not overlook the possibility that your son's steady may not have even told her parents she has the ring. I receive quite a few letters from girls in the younger teen group who are hiding a boy's ring or ID bracelet because they know their parents would not approve. Your suggestion that your son give the girl a less expensive ring or ID bracelet is fair and a good solution to this problem. Unfortunately, it seems he does not value the ring very much either; he should, for sentimental reasons if not for its monetary value. DEAR MRS.

RICKER: I am in love with a very lovely girl. We plan to get married the last of this month. We both are 18 and the problem is my future mother-in-law; it seems she wants to run the show. We want a wedding with just a few friends, but she wants a big gala affair, you know, church, organ, singer, that sort of thing. I hate to tell her that we don't want a big wingding because, well, you know how mothers are.

For the last two weeks my girl and I have done nothing but argue over the whole mess. Even her poor father can't get a word edgewise against her mother. I am afraid it will not be happy day for us if we don't get things straightened out now. How does a person fight future motherin-law problems? If you know the answer please don't keep it secret! "THE ULCER KID" DEAR "ULCER One way to avoid "future 1 motherin-law problems" is not to quarrel with her before she actually becomes a relative. You see, most everything to do with a wedding is the responsibility of the future bride and her parents, so I suggest you withdraw from the argument.

If any arguing is done, let it be between your girl and her parents. Your main responsibility for the wedding is to be at the right place, in the right suit, at the right time. After the wedding, mother-inlaw must learn to let you newlyweds run your own affairs. "Group Games for Parties" Dorothy Ricker's "Games" booklet is packed with 'teen-tested' games.

She has brown hair and an olive complexion and measures 34-22-34. She will represent Texas in the Miss America Contest at Randolph Tax Base Up Over $6 Million WINCHESTER The tax base in Randolph County will go up over $6 million for 1962 taxes in 1963, figures from the county auditor's office revealed Monday. Actual rise will be $6,233,480.

This represents roughly onetenth more tax base than the valuations for 1961. However, the burden of increase will be borne by the real estate owners of the county, tax figures indicate. Where utility valuations for tax purposes were reduced by and personal property re-evaluation brought about a reduction of 3,494,92, re evaluation of real property created the entire increase in the tax Real Estate Up $10 Million When the loss to the county in personal property valution and utility assessment is added to the over-all gain in tax base, it becomes apparent that the land-owners of the county will carry an increased valuation of $10,742,700. Total real and personal property valution for tax purposes in Randolph County in 1961 was $55,913,940. The total for 1962 is $62,147,420.

Real estate assessments, generally figured to go up onethird in valuation on an over-all basis, will fill in the more than $4 million loss from personal and utility properties, and will also meet the increase of more than $6 million in the total picture. Taxpayers' Rate May Go Uu If taxes, in line with a promised drop as the base valuation grows, go down by one-fifth, and property valuation for taxes has risen one-third, it would appear that real estate owning taxpayers will be paying on an average around 13 per cent more in tax dollars, even with the reduced rate, than before reassessment. This applies only in a general sense. The increase (or decrease) depends on how much real estate was re-assessed for and whether this represented an increase or decrease from 1961. A hopeful note is the probability that the county budget will be lower this year, because there will be no provision for reassessment costs.

There will also be no election expenses for. the 1963 budget. Board Answers Sheriff Jail Repairs Discussed WINCHESTER Randolph County Commissioners discussed plans for improvements at the County Jail at their regular meetling on Monday. Commissioners explained their efforts to repair the jail in reply to charges by Sheriff and Mrs. Gib Roberson that living conditions at the jail had determined their forthcoming return to their home in Union City.

Commissioners explained plans for a new roof at the jail had been in the making since 1961, but said the board had been unable to secure specifications until last week. Money for the improvement had been included in the 1962 budget, they said. They are already now receiving bids on a new jail roof. "Until we get the new roof," commissioners pointed out, "There is no point in doing any other ther interior decoration or repairs." Improvements Listed Among improvements at the jail in the last two years, the commissioners listed a new kitchen in 1960, a double sink, new electric stove and new refrigerator in 1961, and a new waterheater on order but not yet installed. They said they had checked the jail office, which appeared wraped, but found that it was apparently sound, -and the flaw was simply in earlier repair work which had created an uneven flooring.

The commissioners said they also have plans to work on drainage at the jail, and to cut two trees which are growing too close to the building.
