Ex- U.N. Head, Thant, UNITED NATIONS (UPI) Thant, the self-effacing Burmese schoolmaster who served a record 10 years as U.N. secretary general, will be the first person to lie in state at the United Nations. Thant, 65, died Monday at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York. He suffered from cancer and had developed pneumonia.

The United Nations' third secretary general, Thant held what he once called the "lonely, frustrating job" from Sept. to Dec. 31,1971, the longest tenure of any U.N. chief executive. "We have lost one of the great men of our age," U.S.

Ambassador John Scali said. "We admired above all his humanity, his respect for human dignity and his complete integrity," Kurt Waldheim, Thant's successor, said. "Above all, he was a man of peace," President Ford said. The General Assembly observed a minute's silence after Thant's death was announced and then and heard tributes from diplomats. U.N.

officials made plans to have Thant's body lie in state in the main lobby of the United Nations starting Wednesday and to hold a memorial service later. Born at Pantanaw, Burma, on Jan. 22, 1909, the son of a landowner, Thant began as a schoolmaster, wrote anti- British criticism as. a newspaperman and was ap- Coll 273.7801 (Anytime) Estimates NOBODY UNDERSELLS Guaranteed Qualify Work ALUMINUM SIDING Roofing Aluminum Windows Doors Aluminum Replacement Windows Awnings Window Capping (Applied over Prime, Stocro, Brick) Over 5,000 Satisfied Customers UMPINER Roofing And Siding Co. 334 North 9th Street, Lebanon Thant pointed by his close friend, Nu, as U.N.

Ambassador. Self-effacing and physically small, Thant became acting secretary general following Dag Hammarskjold's death in a September, 1961, plane crash in Africa. A year later, he was unanimously named secretary general in his own right. Since his retiremement, Thant lived in suburban Harrison, N.Y. He is survived by his widow, a daughter and son- in-law and four grandchildren.

Ubanen Daily Ntws, 13 November 26,1974 Scott, Rizzo, Ford To Meet WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen. Hugh Scott, and Philadelphia Mayor Frank L. Rizzo were scheduled to meet with President Ford today to discuss the closing of the Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia. Scott said Monday that he would ask the President to hear Philadelphia's plans to build a new arsenal facility for use by the Defense Department. The Defense Department announced last week it would close the arsenal by June, 1977 eliminating about 3,500 jobs.

"The one remaining hope for saving the Frankford Arsenal lies in convincing the Department of Defense that a new building can be furnished for use of the Defense Depart- meant without encumberances and on a free and clear basis," Scott said. "This will not assure a favorable decision but could bring about a reopening of the negotiations for which Rizzo and I are pressing vigorously," he said.

Realtors Circulating Petitions To Congress In response to an emergency request from Realtor Joseph B. Doherty, president of the National Association of Realtors, realtor and realtor- associate members of the Lebanon County Board of Realtors, have been circulating petitions to Congress. These petitions ask for legislative action and urge members of the U.S.

Senate and House of Representatives to bring greater stability to the nation's depressed home mortgage market and the housing industry by doing two specific things: (1) approve a bill (H. R. 16994) which was voted favorably Oct. 8, 1974, by the House Ways and Means Committee, that will provide up to $500 ($1,000 on a joint return) of tax-free interest on savings accounts deposits in savings institutions and (2) encourage a flow of funds into the mortgage market through HH1IOORE5 FVTO ORE'S NOW TO GORE'S WWOOCTI commvrr OPEN MONDAY THRU FRIDAY Nichols MOORE'S IN CLEONA PHONE a tax credit provided to financial institutions based on their mortgage portfolios. H.

R. 16994, co-sponsored by Representatives Donald G. Brotzman Wilbur D. Mills and DonaW D. Clancy Ohio), is viewed by realtors as crucial in its potential for reviving thehousing'market.

It has been estimated that a tax exclusion of $1,000 could draw an estimated annual $24-billion into financial institutions which would revitalize the mortgage market. Losses Of Deposits Financial institutions, the most important source of home mortgage loans, have been suffering net losses of deposits for most of the past year, largely accounting for the high interest rates and scarcity of funds which plague the housing sector. Besides helping the homebuyer, supporters of H.R. 16994 maintain that passage of Market Basket Cost Jumps $4 WASHINGTON (UPI) -The annual retail cost of feeding a theoretical American family of 3.2 persons has jumped 9.8 pa- cent in the past year and now stands at a record $1,779, the Agriculture Department reported Monday. The report said the October average market basket cost for such a family rose $4 over September.

Compared with a year earlier, however, the $1,779 consumer cost was up by $159 from the October, 1973, annual rate of $1,620. The report said an October increase in farm prices more than offset a slight dip in middlemen's margins during the month! For 1974 as a whole, economists estimate food marketing costs will average about 20 per cent above 1973, the biggest one-year increase on record. And looking ahead to 1975, administration economists have predicted continuing retail food price increases in the first half of the year because of prospective hikes in both farm prices and marketing costs. The market basket represents a selection of U.S. farm-produced foods needed to feed a theoretical household of 3.2 persons for a year.

It is not intended, to represent the actual grocery spending -of aiiy average family, but is regarded as a barometer of up and down trends in consumer food bills, marketing costs and the farm share of the consumer food dollar. Officials said much of the October increase in farmer returns compared with St. Andrews Service Set The annual Thanksgiving Eve service of St. Andrews and Christ Presbyterian churches will be held tomorrow night at 7:30 in St. Andrews, 12th and Poplar Streets.

It wilf, they say, fight inflation by encouraging more saving and less consumer spending. It will bring an increase of jobs in the construction and building supply industries where unemployment is mounting; assist in reducing the federal deficit as the result of.

increased income earned and unemployed workers. Will Relieve It will alsd relieve the pressure from interest rates by reducing the need for borrowing from the market by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board system and other governmental housing agencies. It is anticipated that a recovery of the housing industry will more than offset any loss of revenue through the tax exclusion for savers.
