Edward Novitski Helps Get Sub J'k 9 i INVENTION WILL HELP SAVE LIVES Research Work Being Done at University and a Local Colliery In any community where there has been extensive mining and where pillar support of the surface has been ignored, the menace of mine caves is grave and terrible. Mine caves come without warning generally. Cellars drop from under homes and other buildings. Side walks fall under the feet of pedestrians and yoi and old are engulfed and carried to horrible deaths. That much is some of the local history of mine disturbed areas.

But this grave menace mav be suddenly harnessed. It most likely will turn out in the days of the future that a new electornic de vice will provide warning against mine caves, suniciently to save lives if not property. it is not going to be quite so easy as sitting in a home with a gadget while the radio entertains with world-wide news or musical numbers or the clownlne of com edians of the air and then take to ones heels in flight from the flash that a mine cave is imminent. Yet a device has been perfected, or at least designed to the point of practicability, that will warn of mine cave dangers. It may not save property damage.

It will be a tremendous neip in saving numan lives. News of such a wonderful device suddenly flashed on the local community yesterday with the announcement that Dr. Cornelius Brennecke and Dr. Robert T. Gallagher, of Lehigh University, are coming here on the night of Thursday, April 26, to describe this new electronic device.

They will speak at the spring dinner and meeting of Lehigh University Club of Northeastern Pennsylvania at Hotel Sterling. Talks on the subject of "Electronics" and the warning device will begin at 8. the mine cave warning device which will be, described at this meeting is used to show movements in the earth's strata and is similar in principle to the seismograph, which is used to record earthquakes. It consists of geo-phones and electronic-magnifying tubes to provide on a tape the presence of the slightest disturbance. Experimental work on this warning device is being sponsored by Anthracite Institute, and actual research is being done at Lehigh University and at a local colliery by Dr.

Brennecke and Dr. Gallagher, in cooperation with the Bureau of Mines. No more news has been released on the secrets and intracacies of the warning device. Whether it has reached a stage of perfection is another undisclosed matter. Whether is is a costly device built for community benefit, or whether tnere are possibilities oi having it as a home device are untold as yet.

However, these are matters that the pioneers in this field of i i cussions here this week. Frank S. Lubrecht, president of Lehigh University Alumni Club, made the announcement of the coming of Drs. Brennecke and Gallagher. He is mining engineer for Luzerne County, and resides in Hazleton.

He was not available for further Interview last night. Dr. Brennecke will discuss "Electronics in Industrial War Production" and will bring equipment to demonstrate some of the phenomena which have resulted in induction and high-frequency, heating, controlling, rectification and X-ray. The talk will be nontechnical in nature and will stress post-war uses of present devices. Dr.

E. K. Smiley, director of admissions of Lehigh University, will discuss postwar plans and present problems of the college. Let Walsh Take Gas Coupons Gift, Defendant Claims, Was to Save OPA Face Because of Shortage SEVERAL HAD KEYS TO HIS CABINET Stamps Disappeared From Storage Between February and June From the witness stand In Fed eral Court at Scranton yesterday, Arthur A. Maskery.

deposed ration ing executive of Scranton District, OPA. co-defendant with Tim Ma- honey, Bethlehem, on a charge of conspiracy, admitted he permitted Henry C. Walsh, ousted mileage rationing representative, to take a number of gasoline ration coupons from a locked cabinet in Maskery's office. He granted this permission. he said, to cover a shortage at Walsh's service station.

The witness said he accepted "full authority and blame for what I did," and explained he allowed Walsh to take the coupons to save the face of OPA, as Walsh was a top OPA official. He said he allowed Walsh to take coupons only on the one occasion and warned him he would have to obey OPA regulations at his service station. Maskery said coupons good for 320,000 gallons of gasoline were stored in his office cabinet and that several keys to the cabinet were passed out, one to Frank Snyder, former director of Scranton Djstrict, OPA, who was ousted sa a result of the investigation. The witness declared the key toi his cabinet was kept in several I places. He admitted calling trie regional office in New York to rei quest an emergency shipment of coupons to fottsviiie.

He ad xnitted the shipment for 320,000 gallons of gasoline arrived in his otiice. He said he first saw the coupons on February 21, last year, and that they were locked in his office cabinet. When a search was made for them on June 7, the coupons had disappeared. Maskey stated he never knew that Walsh had taken or sold coupons until the investigation was started. Local Collectors to Show Mint-Marked Coins A large number of coins with mint markings will be displayed during the coin exhibit Thursday at YMCA Building.

The mint mark is of prime importance to coin collectors because the coinage at the branch has usually been much smaller than at Philadelphia. Each mint has its own markings for Charlotte, N. 1938-61; C. C. for Carson City, 1870-93; for Denver, 1906, still minting; for New Orleans, 1938 and closed; for San Francisdb, 1854 and still minting.

Philadelphia mint has no markings as it was the original mint and still operating. Proof coins are rare coins to the person who is not a collector. They are minted for collectors and can be obtained at the Philadelphia Mint, The dies for making proof coins receive special polishing operation which results in a mirror-like surface and are sold at a premium to collectors.

Williams Stresses Government's Obligation to Sustain Maimed Congressmen and other leaders in Washington should be asked to hurdle the so-called site selection proposition for a veterans' hospital in this area and do something definite about establishing such a facility here, Attorney Robert H. Doran told representatives of various veterans groups at a meeting last night in Coughlin High School. Women's Division of Veterans' Hospital sponsored the meeting. Attorney Doran, substituting for Congressman Daniel J. Flood, who was unable to be there because of a foreign relations committee meeting, stressed the preliminary ground work should be eliminated by the Veterans Administration in that a hospital was established in Poconos at close of World War I and another is now at Tobyhanna.

These facts, Doran continued, proved this region offers the finest in location, transportation and accessibility to medical care. Established by Veterans Administration at Naomi Pines at end of World War a government hospital burned down early in the '20's, Mr. Dorart recalled. At Tobyhanna. a government hospital of 125 beds, fully equipped, is now idle.

"All red tape necessary for allocation of a spot Ls unnecessary because they have already ap- roved this region as suitable oran continued. In recommending the erection of a veterans hospital in this area. Mrs. John Howell Williams Quoted statistics from World War I as the basis for the probable proportion of disabled men that we should expect to care for after this war. Two and one hall million men saw service abroad in the last war.

Of that number 4 per cent, 90.000 men, were permanently hospitalized. Luzerne County is in Region 10 under the Veterans' Administration and this region has fighting men in this war. On the basis of 4 per cent it should be expected to have at least 12,000 permanently disabled men to care for in this Rabbi I. M. Davidson, chief rabbi of Luzerne County, said, "If this were merely a pork-barrel legislation getting our share of government expenditure, I as a clergyman would not lend myself so enthusiastically to furthering acquisition of such a hospital In this area." Rabbi Davidson dwelt on pressing need for a hospital.

"We have the facilities for it and no political implication is present in this desire on our part of attaining the hospital," he added. Mrs. Stanley A. Goeckel, chairman of the mass meeting. Intro- duced the speakers.

School officials met yesterday with the students, but apparently reached no agreement, although the students and their parents on Saturday, said the strike had been ended.

The school officials said the source of the strike has been f'r" traced to outside sources." but they declined to comment on the identities of the persons thus charged. The students refused to attend school when it was learned that Coach Louis Palermo is interested in a coaching position in Wilkes tsarre scnoois.
