P. Wible's report of $2 fires during the year-38 in Latrobe and 44 -was i given special mention by president James M.

Council adopted a resolution ratitying the election of August Gerst to a five-year term on the Board of Health and the election of Fred T.

Duff today has the backing of at least 16 county Republican leaders in his primary fight for the U. S. Senate. Some of the political chiefs represent heavy-voting counties and Duff forces are attempting to get others in the fold before another meeting of the governor's "war cabinet," believed set for Hershey next Saturday. Duff's opponent at the May 16 primary is Congressman John C.

Kunkel. of Harrisburg. who has been described by Duff lieutenants as a follower of the party's conservative wing headed by former U. S. Sen.

Joseph R. Grundy. To date, the millionaire representative of the 18th Congressional District has disclosed any pledges of support on his behalf. Duff, however, has had several "show meetings, the first occurring on Dec. 20 at Easton, even before he announced his candidacy.

It was called by Kenneth Kressler, Northampton County chairman, and according to the governor everyone there urged him to toss his hat in the senatorial ring. Other county leaders present, presumably giving Duff their blessing, were Harold Watkins, Schuylkill county; State Highways Secretary Ray F. Smock, Crawford county; State Sen. M. Harvey Taylor, State and Dauphin county leader; State Sen.

George Scarlett, Chester county; State Sen. G. Graybill Diehm, Lancaster county; State Sen. Lloyd Wood, Montgomery county; Fred Peters, Montgomery county commissioner, and former Lieutenant Governor Samuel Lewis, York county. Ten days later, Duff announced his candidacy.

And last Saturday, the governor gathered his followers around him at a luncheon in Hershey given by Wood and attended by additional party leaders. Although Wood said the session was to promote "harmony" between the Duff and Grundy factions, the followers of Grundy were conspicious by their absence and it was believed that the second meeting dispelled any dim hopes of a compromise ticket. According to spokesmen, there was no decision on Duff's gubernatorial running mate nor for candidates for lieutenant governor and secretary of internal affairs. Duff, it was said, want to "dictate" the organization candidate for governor, preferring to tap the sentiment of party workers from top to bottom and let everybody have a hand in the selection. The new Duff supporters attending the Jan.

7 strategy meeting were State, Treasurer Charles R. Barber, Erie County leader; Carroll Winters, Berks County: George Kunkle, Cumberland County; Earl A. Brubaker, Lebanon County: State Superior Court Judge John S. Fine, Luzerne County, and Sheriff Austin Meehan, Philadelphia's organization boss. It was announced by Taylor that; Albert Bush, Lycoming county chairman, had planned to attend, but was advised otherwise by 1 his physician.

Hardest hit by the strike were large commercial producers, including Consolidation Coal Co. -the world's largest producer--and captive mines owned by steel companies. Pickets appearing at the Consolidation company's mines at Fairmont, W.

carried the familiar "no contract, no work" slogan of the miners. The U'MW's contract with all the soft coal mines expired. last June 30. L'. S.

Steel Corporation reported all of its mines, employing 15,000 miners in three states, were closed. The strike was believed part of Lewis' midwest strategy to force. new contract demands on the major coal producers. The miners themselves generally refused to comment on reason for the strike. When asked why he was striking, one miner at Liberty, replied, "no contract, no A companion growled at him "shut your trap, or I'll shut It." The union had imposed a threeday work- on operators who have not met the UMW's demands for a 95-cents-a-day, wage increase and a 15-cent per ton boost in the present 20-cents royalty for the miners welfare fund.

WORK PANTS SIZES 29, 30, 31 ONLY Values To $2.00 Lawson Skavish DON'T MISS STADER'S JANUARY CLEARANCE ON FURNITURE Mrs. Ida Costello Hunt For Slayers Of Three Children Kosciusko, Miss.4 Jan. 10. A posse of some 100 outraged officers searched today for two escaped white prisoners accused of murdering three Negro children and wounding their father and sister in an apparent attempt to wipe out all witnesses to an armed robbery, The hunt centered around Guin Yards, a huge freight rail switchyard at Tchula, about 23 miles west of here. Officers had information that the pair had gone to the yards, apparently hoping to hop a freight train, heading west.

Part of the posse surrounded the big roundhouse and maze of switch tracks and methodically searched hundreds of empty freight cars standing on sidings, hunting the two armed men. Another portion of the posse combed a hilly, wooded area around Sallis, about nine miles west of here. The two men were wanted for breaking into the sharecropper cabin of Tomas Harris, a Negro, early yesterday and firing a hail of bullets and shotgun blasts which turned it into a bloody tomb for three of his children. Harris and a fourth child were seriously wounded. His wife and fifth child, an infant, uninjured.

A third white man, known to have broken jail with the two fugitives and identified by as having taken part in bloody massaere, was arrested near here about noon yesterday, He was Malcolm Whitt, 32, a brother of 24-year-old Wendell Whitt, one of the men being sought. The other man still at large was identified as Leon Turner, 38, an ex-convict who broke jail Dec. 30 with the Whitt brothers. Highway patrolmen said Malcolm Whitt was in a drunken stupor when he was picked up. When he sobered up last night, they said, he denied all knowledge of the slayings but admitted having driven in a truck with his brother and Turner to the freight yards at Tchula, where they got out.

Marshal Tom Ashley at nearby Durant, who spent all day with the posse yesterday, said the three men apparently were trying to kill all the witnesses to an armed robbery. The trio were jailed on armed robbery charges last month after Harris and his family identified them as the men who broke into their cabin, stole some money and attempted to attack Harris' eldest daughter Verlene, 15. The trio had not been tried, Ashley said, and were awaiting preliminary' hearing when they tunnelled out of the county Jail here Dec. 30, using a knife and a can op ner.

In addition, the UN had not yet received a demand from the Pelping government of Communist Leader Mao Tze-Tung for ouster of Nationalist delegation. The Communist China Central News agency had announced Sunday that the message was cabled to UN secretary-general Trygve Lie, General Assembly President Carlos P. Romulo, and Security Council members.

Although five members of the council--Russia, Yugoslavia, Britain, India and Norway--have reeognized the Chinese Communist regime, Malik was expected to limit his speech. to denunciation of the Yugoslavs and Chinese, Nationalists. Yugoslavia replaced the Ukraine as eastern Europe's representative on the Council today by virtue of last fall's elections in which Tito's government defeated kia, the Kremlin-backed candidate. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrel Y. has branded the Yugoslay election as "Illegal." Other newcomers on the council included Ecuador, replacing Argentina, and India, taking ada's seat.
