According to State Police from the Uniontown sub-station, Robert Kern, 20, of Normalville Star Route, was traveling north on Rte. 711 when he heard something strike his car. Kern, troopers said, stopped the vehicle and got out to see what had happened. While looking over the vehicle, an unknown assailant shot him. The wounded man got back in his car and started to drive to Connellsville State General Hospital for treatment.

While enroute to the hospital on Rte. 711, Kern's auto struck another car driven by James Firestone, of Genoa, Ohio, that was turning off the highway onto a private driveway. Neither driver was injured in the crash, but Kern continued on to the hospital where he was admitted at 11:30 p.m. and was to undergo x-rays today and removal of the bullet. He was reported as in satisfactory condition.

Damage to both vehicles in the collision was estimated at a total of $1,350, troopers said.

Connally is quitting after two months as President Nixon's part-time adviser, but Melvin R. Laird plans to stick it out as long as he feels he is making a contribution. The veteran politicians joined the White House staff after the Watergate scandal erupted forcing an exodus of Nixon's top lieutenants. Connally, former treasury secretary, joined the staff as an unpaid consultant to the President, while Laird took on a fulltime post as the President's chief domestic adviser. But after giving some advice to Nixon to "dean house" and to shake off the clique brought in by former aides H.R.

Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman, Connally became frustrated. He found the President was in no mood to change his own lifestyle or to broaden the chain of command. "I've given about all the advice I can give," Connally told a news conference on June 20, which was called- to deny that he was disgruntled. But those who read between the lines agreed that Connally had had it.

The former governor of Texas stayed around long enough to help shape the new Phase IV economic controls program. He also met privately a few times with Nixon in Washington and San Clemente, then he returned to his "Picosa" ranch at Floresville, Tex. Connally and his wife will leave for a trip abroad in the near future. Connally had postponed an arouncMhe-world journey when he joined the presidential staff. He later will rejoin his law firm in Houston.

Connally had to sever his connections on the boards of several corporations dealing with the federal government when he took the post as consultant. Capitol Hot Dog Stand Opens Amid Much Snide Humor HARRISBURG (UPI) Hilton's Hot Dog stand opened for business Wednesday after weeks of humor and controversy that prompted a lengthy news release on the event. The hot dog stand, constructed near a state office building in the Capitol complex on the site of a former heliport, was built at the direction of Frank C. Hilton, secretary of property and supplies for the state. State office workers and others in the area purchased noon lunches at the stand and ate at the 25 tables in the open air with only bright umbrellas shielding them from the elements.

Hilton said the stand cost the state less than $4,800, but earlier published reports indicated it cost closer to $10,000. Another controversial aspect was that the stand, which resembles a Pizza Hut, was built before obtaining state Arts Commission approval, which was required. The entire affair sparked humor, with one lawmaker even suggesting a contest to name tHo lilrrv "Frank's and "Hilton's Hot Dog Stand" were just a couple of those suggested. One Republican urged "Shapp's Stand," snidely saying it was the only one ever taken by Gov. Milton J.

Shapp. Hilton's news release praised the "facility and termed critic-ism unwarranted.

Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt Jr. were unw ise in breaking into the office of Ellsberg's psychiatrist, they had a right to do so. The debate on the right of the President to commit burglary- overshadowed the purpose of the committee's current round of hearings--who was responsible for the bugging of the Democratic national offices at the Watergate complex on June 17,1972, and who was responsible for trying to cover up the extent of the crime? The break-in at the psychiatrist's office took place on Labor Day weekend in 1971, about 60 days after the newspaper publication of the Pentagon study of the Vietnam war. Ehrh'chman said the operation, which he would not have approved, was conducted by the White House plumbers group that was established to help plug leaks in the future.

Ervin, who has been drawing applause whenever he enters the Senate Caucus Room, admonished the partisan audience to be quiet Wednesday. At one point, they had jeered Ehrh'ch- man. In the afternoon, however, Ehrlichman gave Ervin a jab. The former feared White House aide told Ervin, 28 years his elder, "Mr. Chairman, you interrupted me.

You have a delightful trial room practice of interrupting something you do not want to hear." The committee faced today what may be another step in one of the critical constitutional confrontations between the President and Congress in the history of the nation. The President was confronted with a deadline to answer a committee subpoena for tapes and other documents in his possession relating to the Watergate scandal. If he refused to provide them, as expected, the committee was expected to file suit in U.S. District Court for a declaratory- judgment. This could lead to a landmark Supreme Court test.

Wilson, Ehrlichman's lawyer, said that the 1968 Safe Streets Act, which was approved by Ervin's Senate Judiciary Committee, provided "a reservoir of power for the sake of permitting the President to do what would otherwise be a crime, to protect the nation against foreign intelligence "There is no one in this room, who can assert with categorical certainty that the President does not have a constitutional power to cause an entry, under what would be otherwise illegal circumstances, in pursuit of foreign intelligence," Wilson said. "When we get to that point, the Fourth Amendment may have vanished from the scene." The Fourth Amendment ensures "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." It has been cited repeatedly by Ervin during the Watergate hearings. RAY SUES LAWYER MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPI) James Earl Ray, the convicted assassin of Martin Luther King in 1968, filed a suit. Wednesday accusing his trial lawyer and an author of conspiring to keep personal papers from him.

By STEVE GERSTEL WASHINGTON (UPI) It started as a hard freeze on pay raises for Congress, the Cabinet, and the Judiciary. But by the time the Senate finished putting the heat on it, the freeze had thawed and almost melted away. Sen. James B. Allen, started an afternoon-long merry-go-round Wednesday when he proposed a no-raise policy as an amendment to a campaign reform bill.

Nine votes later, the Senate, on behalf of itself, the House, the Cabinet, and the Judiciary decided a raise was all right as long as it did not exceed wage guidelines while wage-price controls are in effect. On a 49-43 vote, the Senate adopted a sense of the Congress resolution and put itself on record in opposition to any pay increase exceeding the cost-of- living rise since the last raise in 1969, which put the salaries of Congressmen at $42,500 a year. At first, it appeared that the Alien amendment was headed for victory until Sen. John 0. Pastore, offered a rider which would have prevented those under the Allen proposal from accepting any speaking or writing honorariums.

Pastore apparently offered the rider more in jest than in earnest and said he would withdraw it. But Sen. Barry M. Board Will Hear Union Complaint Against Hospital PITTSBURGH (UPI) The Goldwater said no. When the vote was over, the Pastore rider was aboard, 56-37.

Assistant Senate Republican Robert P. Griffin tried to kfll the package but failed 54-40. So, Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D- applied some more heat.

He offered an amendment that would have prohibited acceptance of any earned income except salary. That carried 6430. Sen. Edward W. Brooke, R- tested the water and moved to kfll the AUen-Pastore- Jackson package.

That failed 55-39. Then Sen. Ted Stevens, Alaska, offered a substitute for the Allen-Pastore-Jackson package that provided for the sense of the Congress resolution. Allen tried to kill that and, he too, failed, 48-43. Then the Senate adopted the Stevens substitute.

It was, as one Senate aide explained, a case of "making the jockey too heavy for the horse." Before the issue was settled, however, a number of senators complained they were "hurting" on their salaries, that the public really didn't know how much it cost to be a senator, and that those opposing a pay raise were "phonies" and afraid of the press.

Lida C. White, 78, of Indian Head (Back Creek Road) Beagle Survives Ozark Jet Crash By THOMAS UHLENBROCK ST. LOUIS, Mo. (UPI) A young beagle, suffering from shock and its eye inflamed by fuel, was discovered Wednesday in the cockpit of an Ozark Air Liner which crashed killing 36 persons and leaving eight survivors. An Ozark spokesman said the dog, a female about 2 years old, was being shipped air express from Cape Girardeau, to its new owner in I ichita Falls, Tex.

The dog was in a cage in a baggage compartment separated by a thin wall from the cockpit. James Rigley, supervisor of the Humane Society's animal shelter said, "The dog was covered with diesel fuel and one of its eyes is severly inflamed. It may lose that eye, but otherwise it'll be in good Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board will hold a hearing here Friday to ah- charges that officials" of the Brownsville Hos- shape." pital have failed to bargain in ''The impact threw it through good faith on a new contract for the cage into the instrument panel of the plane," Rigley said.

He is Frank E. Fitzsimmons, the president of the 2-million- member Teamsters Union, who drew $125,000 last year, plus $6,481 in expense allowances. The second highest paid labor leader is Murray W. Miller, the Teamsters' secretary-treasurer, who is paid $100,973 with $13,255 in alloances.

The Labor Department issued a list of union leaders' salaries Wednesday. It snowed that some leaders of small unions are highly paid doing." Ten specialists of the National Transportaion Safety Board were sifting through the crash, trying to reconstruct the events preceeding the crash, when they found the badly shaken beagle beneath some debris. The team used large flatbed trucks, hoists and other equipment to move the wreckage to Lambert Field, 2.8 miles away. The plane, a Fairchild-EQUer 227b turboprop, was on an instrument approach to Lambert when it crashed during a severe thunderstorm. The team interviewed the pilot, Capt.

Arvid D. Linke, 37, St. Charles, who survived the crash along with the copilot. Slattery said Linke gave an informal statement The board would not disclose any details about what the pilot said. Self Service Farm Offers Reduced Price GLEN MILLS, Pa.

(UPI) A federal judge ruled Wednesday that 43 members of an elementary graduating class must submit to fingerprinting -because a class ring was found at a murder site. A group of parents said they would ask the Essex County public defender's office today to shield them from the order. In the state courts on Tuesday. Judge Alan B. Handler of the Appellate Division issued a restraining order to stop the fingerprinting of 15 members of the graduating class of Martin Luther King Jr.

Elementary School. U.S. District Judge Vincent P. Biunno said he would issue no restraining order to prevent the fingerprinting because the attorney representing the children failed to show it was unreasonable. Union County detectives investigating the murder of John Galasso, 63, had asked for such an order and received it from a state court.

Galasso was found stabbed to death in Elizabeth, N.J., June 24. A class ring of one of the students reportedly was found near the body. Albert Folkes, whose 14-year-" old son is a member of the class, said the parents of 24 children met at the school Wednesday and unanimously decided to ask the public defender's office to include all the children under Tuesday's restraining order.
