Flood Devastates Ohio Towns With $100,000 Loss
A cloudburst and flash flood struck east central Ohio on Thursday night. Pickerington, a village of under 500, was heavily hit as 3 to 4 inches of rain fell in an hour, flooding the gorge center, damaging a grange hall and a Methodist church. One man, Hugh Patton, 75, died of a heart attack linked to the storm. Highways were closed briefly, with water depths reaching four feet on several roads and five feet over the Sycamore Creek bridge in Pickerington.

Judge Seeks Probe After Deported Ohio Mother Case
Civil rights claim eight penniless Negro children and a 40 year old mother were violated when they were forcibly sent from Ohio to Alabama. Judge Wilbur Dearman urged federal and state probes into the ruling that sent Martha Winston and her children back to Livingston. He said the family, Ohio residents, were wrongfully denied welfare and rights, and noted Ohio citizenship laws support the mother. The case began with a custody hearing accusing the mother of neglect for keeping children from school. Dearman called for action by Alabama and U S authorities to investigate the civil rights violation.
