Three Children
Perish In Flood
LITTLE ROCK. Ark. (AP)
"That ear iust lifted up. I knew

three of his four children in a
flash flood.
Branscum. 35. his Japanese
born wife. Motoko. 28. and a son.
Carl, 4, were rescued after they
spent nearly an hour Monday
clinging to tree trunks in the rain
swollen creek which swept over
Highway 65 about 20 miles sown
of here.
The body of Marilyn, 8, was re
covered from the Branscum car,
which was swept off the road. The
search continued for the bodies of
Daniel Ray, 5, and Gray, 2.
The family was returning to
New Orleans, La., where he is
stationed, after visiting his moth
er, Mrs. Koxie Branscum, in Har
ness, Ark.
Branscum said he hesitated be-
fore driving his car into the patch
of water some 300 or 400 feet wide
along the highway. But, he said,
other cars were going through.
After driving about 50 yards
into the water, the car slipped off
the road, then tumbled into the
creek.
Branscum pulled his wife and
three sons from the car, but could
not get his daughter. Two of the
boys vanished. Mrs. Branscum
grabbed a piece of floating debris
and the boy tumbled into her
arms "like he was pushed."
Branscum said.
Passersby rescued them.

"With the polio season upon us,"
Donnelly said, "It is imperative
that both children and adults get
their shots." Persons can get their

MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.i (AP
Shaken by charges of widesDread
irregularities in the handling of
polio donations, the Sister Kenny
Foundation sought to stave off a
collapse today with a new lead
ership. .........
The foundation's board of direc
tors was shuffled Monday after
a report by State Atty. Gen. -Walter
Mondale that monev intended
for polio victims was diverted for
private profit.
a. u. Gamble, Minneapolis busi
ness executive named to head the
foundation's new board, asked
time to "let us get our breath."
bamble told a news confer
ence: "Were only interested in
one thing keeping the foundation
going, we re going to move just
as last as we can."
Most prominently mentioned in
the attorney general's report were
Marvin u Kline, the former Min
neapolis mayor who was the
foundation's executive director;
and Fred Fadell, a Minneapolis
public relations executive.
Monaaie threatened to lane tne
foundation into court to recover
the , funds unless the new board
acts on its own.
The attorney general said Kline,
57, drew $604,500 in salaries and
other benefits in his 14 years as
executive director. Kline resigned
several months ago and has been
hospitalized. His wife said Mon
day that he was sick in bed and
unable to comment on Mondale's
report. . '
Fadell has been discharged by
the foundation, it was disclosed
at the board's reorganization
meeting.
Mondale said Fadell received
fees from Chicago mail solicita
tion firms hired by the foundation
and the public relations executive
made large payments to Kline.
The report on monies paid Kline
included $113,750 in "tees paid by
Fred Fadell and associates."
Fadell said he had not been
provided with a copy of Mondale's
report and he felt any statements
he makes should be to tne foun
