S-THE DAILY INDEPENDENT. Tuesday, Dec. Jf, 1937 UN Chief Begins Talks With Leaders in Israel Mount Scopus Blockade Will Be Big Issue JERUSALEM. Israel (UP)-- A noncommittal Dag Hammarskjold began talks today with Israeli leaders on the latest border flare- up with Jordan A. Jordanian blockade of Mount Scopus appeared to be the outstanding issue.

The U.N. Secretary General talked for two days with King Hussein of Jordan. Premier Ibrahim Hashim and Foreign Minister Samir Rifai Sunday and Monday but a joint communique gave no indication of major progress in the latest Mideast trouble. The communique said the Jordan government wished to maintain fullest cooperation with the U.N. Truce Supervision Organization but it left unanswered the question whether Hammarskjold had bowed to a Jordan demand he oust truce supervisor Byron Leary, a U.S.

Marine colonel, on charge he was "partial" to Israel. The communique said the discussions also covered the difficulties recently arisen in respect to the Israeli convoy to Mount Scopus but it added that with the Jordanian views clarified Hammarskjold will not undertake further steps intended to resolve the problem. The Mount Scopus problem boiled down to this: the armistice agreement permitted Israel to supply and maintain an enclave in the Jordan sector of Jerusalem and convoys have proceeded to the area twice weekly without trouble. Last weak Jordan halted a convoy on the grounds that it was carrying prohibited gasoline. Jordan said the gasoline was intended for machinery to be used in fortifying the enclave within Jordan territory.

Israel flatly denied this and insisted on the right to go through. Israeli sources said Israel 'Pocket Ba by Rocket' Fascinates Scientists NEW YORK (UP)--What fasc nated the nation's assembled rock et expens today was no fiery mon ster capable of rising hundreds miles from the earth, but a tinj "pocket rocket" which a small boj could carry around in his pants --but shouldn't. Dr. J. W.

Rossen, of the Atlanti Research Corporation which de velbped this rocket baby, die closed that it is going to play critical role in separating the third stage--the orbiting stage-from the "Vanguard" rocke which is expected to launch th U.S. satellite this week. He was addressing fellow rocke technicians at the- annual meet ing of the American Rocket Society. The "pocket rocket," he said, is only 4.8 inches long anc 1.5 inches in diameter. It weighs only six-tenths of a pound.

But this little giant gives off powerfully thrusting fire for ex actly one second--until its fuel consumed. The force of this thrus adds up to the power of a truck Rossen, who is head of his cor poration's rocket ballistic group explained that the third stage "Vanguard" is attached to i "turning platform" which, in turn is. attached to the head of the second stage. Two of his babies are attached to this platform. insist on this view in the talks today between a a r- skjold and Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and Foreign Minister Golda Meir.

Israel also has resisted a Jordanian demand that Harnmarskjold visit the Mount Scopus area to see for himself if the area is being fortified. Would Require Peace Officers Take Examinations The Westmoreland County Magistrates and Constables Association has unanimously approved a resolution which, in effect, would require that all aldermen, justices of the peace, constables and deputy constables pass a qualification examination before being permitted to lift their commissions. The Association plans to forward the resolution to the state Assembly for possibe legislative action. Joseph B. Palangio, secretary of the county group, also remind-, ed members that a school of new-; ly-elected officials of the minor judiciary will be held this rr.onth st the courthouse in Greensburg.

County From Page One 1956 were not out of the ordinary The Republicans. including Bloom and Brown, are said to feel that the "right man" migh! pull an upset and defeat whose political fortunes in recent years include one defeat (for county commissioner) and another very close shave. It would have to be a big upset, however. The Democrats have a two-to-one registration majority and have just corne through another smashing election victory, in which they won three judgeships, the district attorney's office and all the other "row" offices of the courthouse. Presumably the organization would go down the line for Dent.

However, despite the "unanimity" mentioned by Barr, there is noticeable lack of enthusiasm for Dent among some active Democrats. Dent has been sparring be- lind the scenes for months with iov. George M. Leader, who wants to go to the U. S.

Senate next year. There has even been talk that Dent might join an anti-Leader statewide ticket headed by Lt. Gov. Roy Furman as a candidate or governor. Furman also is on he "outs" with Leader.

So at least part of the "unanimity" for Dent for Congress is be- ieved by some observers to be due to a desire by some Democratic bigwigs to get him out of he statewide picture. The successful candidate in the Ian. 21 election will serve in Con- Just before the third stage is to be detached from the second stage, the babies are fired. Their mighty thrust sets the third stage to spinning at a great rate, and the spin is essential to stabilize it along the calculated course that will put our Sputnik to circling the earth. Two more babies are attached to the second stage.

At the vital moment of separation, they are fired and they fire that is, back toward the earth. The ef- feot is to brake the second stage. Dr. Pallone Kossar Cullen Lancas Beck Dr. Dudas Myshin It slows drastically and the DIRECTORS TAKE OATH Dr.

He said he doubted he would have anything to say after the meeting ended. Administration sources said the President and his "team" would outline to the congressional leaders a 39-40 billion dollar budget, including more money for missiles. They also said a foreign aid request for next year of around four billion dollars, half billion more than this year's program, would be discussed.

House Republican Leader Jo- ieph W. Martin Jr. predicted in advance of today's meeting that defense spending for the fiscal starting riex.t July 1 will run ahead of this year's psacetime ecord of about 72 billion. Stevenson was expected to the meeting after discussion of the plans.

Four of the trapped boys went to the rear of the four-story structure and leaped to a third floor roof where they were helped down ladders to safety. The three others suffered smoke inhalation until they were rescued from the fourth floor by firemen. The three boys who suffered smoke inhalation were treated at Hahnemann Hospital. They were identified as Stephen Solecki, 10. his brother.

He told firemen he first ran to the fourth floor to warn the others and returned to the second floor. After leading the 45 boys to safety he saw the trapped seven boys at a fourth floor window. He told them to go to the rear and leap to the three-story extension of the building.

Four of the boys followed his instructions and were rescued when Kaukeano shoved a ladder against the building. The elder Solecki and Palis boys remained at the window when JsJaus Palis. 9.

Firemen, who fought the blaze for an hour before bringing it under control, said the fire apparently started on the third floor where it was fed by paint used in the remodeling of one of the rooms.

"IT WAS A NICE TRY, aeenu to mun up public opinion about competitive cars attempting to equal the styling and features of the Swept-Wing 58. They tried to get as low, but had to lower the roof to do it. (Less headroom, same high, boxy, cooped-up look.) Their windshields got smaller, while ours got bigger. Most of them still don't have Total-Contact Brakes to assure smooth, oven, safe stops when needed.

Nor do they offer push-button TorqueFlite, the proven automatic transmission, and Constant-Control power steering that works full time--not part time as'some other systems do. And Dodge no-sway, no-dip Torsion-Aire is standard equipment. (Bus-type air springs offered by some cars cost well over $100.00 extra.) So compare all the 1958 models with Dodge.
