When Law, the National League champ's 20-game winner, faltered in the eighth, in from the bullpen strode Elroy Face, the scrawny guitar-twanging relief ace. Taking over with two on and nobody out, Elroy slipped a sinker past Mickey Mantle for a third called strike, got Yogi Berra on a fly and struck out Moose Skowron. Although Face was nicked for a two-run pinch homer by Elston Howard in the ninth, the Yanks never could generate enough steam to catch the fighting Bucs after that first inning. Art Ditmar, the Yanks' starter, retired only one man before the hit-and-run scrappers from the National League finished him off for the day to the delight of 36,676 at ancient Forbes Field.

It was the Pirates' first Series victory over the Yanks, who brushed them off in four straight in 1927. Bill Virdon walked, stole second and sped all the way to third when nobody covered second base on Berra's throw. Then came Dick Groat, the league batting king, ramming a double to right scoring Virdon.

Bob Skinner bounced a hard shot past Bobby Richardson on the well-packed infield and Groat raced in with the run that put the Pirates ahead to stay.

Neanderthal Skeletons Unearthed WASHINGTON (AP) Three Neanderthal skeletons 45,000 to 60,000 years old have been found in a northern Iraqi cave by Columbia University anthropologists, the National Science Foundation announced Wednesday. The group was led by Dr. Ralph Solecki, Who in the same cave in 1957 discovered three other Neanderthal skeletons. The foundation said the party also uncovered a burial place containing 26 skeletons, estimated to have been left there about 10,500 years Dr.

Rose Solecki' discovered about 2 miles from the cave what may be one of the first dated discoveries of change from cave life to village life. This was found under five feet of earth in explorations dating back to 1957. She said the caves apparently were occupied during cold winter months and the village during summer months starting between 10,000 and 11,000 years ago.

Antibiotics, Surgery Help Deaf Hear Again ATLANTIC CITY, N.

J. modern surgery and the use of antibiotics, many a deaf ear can be made to hear, the 110th annual session of the Pennsylvania Medical Society was told Wednesday. "Before antibiotics, inflammation of the middle ear produced an acute mastoiditis in more than 50 per cent of cases," said Dr. David Myers, professor and chairman of the department of otolaryngology at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia. Such contagious and infectious diseases as scarlet fever and measles could, in the past, produce an acute inflammation of the middle ear, a dangerous condition with possible complications as meningitis and brain abscess sometime leading to death.

Surgery hi such cases used to be attended by severe anesthetic risk with frequent postoperative shock and hemorrhage, Myers sard, adding; "Today, many if not most of these emergencies can be effectively treated by means of antibiotic therapy and judicious surgery. "Antibiotic enable us to control the infection, and today's methods of anesthesia make modern surgery a controlled experience for the patient rather than an unpredictable adventure." Myers warned against telling parents who observe a hearing loss in a child that the loss is due to inattentiveness and that the child will outgrow it. Nothing could be further from the truth in the case of an actual defect in hearing, he told the 2,000 doctors attending the weeklong conclave. Often, he years of neglect brought on by bad medical advice lead to a chronic inflam- nwtior of the middle ear, resulting in even more hearing toss.

(AP) Workmen poked through the rubble of a Tennessee Eastman Co. plant Wednesday seeking clues to the mysterious blast which killed 13 persons Tuesday and injured more than 60 others. "We haven't any idea when we'll be able to determine just what caused the explosion if ever," said one Eastman official. The company, a sibsidiary of Eastman Kodak declined to estimate the damage.

The blast leveled a large building housing the aniline processing section where dyes are made. The building functioned by remote control, making the investigative job harder. That fact held down the death toll from the blast, felt 20 miles away. Those who were'close enough to the explosion possibly to shed some light on its cause, either were killed or seriously injured. Nothing but a gaping hole was left where the aniline plant stood.

Hundreds of windows were smashed in many of the 160 buildings scattered over the 400-acre facility. The explosion occurred late Tuesday afternoon a few moments after shifts changed at the plant, which employs about 8,500 persons in its 24-hour operation. The blast touched off flames and thick mushroom-shaped columns of smoke which could be seen as far as 20 miles away. The belching fire raged for more than three hours before it was brought under control and apparently was fed by chemicals and punctuated by small explosions. Most of the injured suffered cuts from flying glass and debris.

The plant is Tennessee's largest indutrial operaiton. It produces plastics, cellulose fibers, polyethylene and other chemicals. New Polaris Test Termed Successful CAPE CANAVEKA, Fla.

Analyzing The News Read the Article by ROSCOE DRUMMOND On Pmr Catholic Group Has Statement Expresses Belief In Church and State Separation WASHINGTON (AP)-A group of more than 150 Roman Catholic laymen Wednesday expressed belief in separation of church and state, declaring it is the "best guarantee of religious freedom and civic peace." Their 700-word statement, voicing concern that Catholics had not made their position in this regard clear in the past, said: "Efforts which tend to undermine the principle of separation, whether they come from Catholics, Protestants or Jews, believers or unbelievers, should be resisted no matter how well-intentioned such efforts might be." The petition was described by its sponsors as nonpartisan. Signers included many prominent names, both Democratic and Republican.

The sponsors said it was a representative sampling of Catholic leaders in education, business, science, politics, labor and the arts. The statement brought a reply from Glenn L. Archer, executive director of Protestants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State. He said it "evades the real religious issue in this country today." "That issue," Archer said, "is the drive of the Roman Catholic bishops of the United States to secure tax support for their parochial schools and other institutions. "We appreciate greatly the laymen's personal declaration of.

faith in religious freedom and wish it could be shared by the Roman Catholic clergy who actually manage the Church's affairs. We hope these use such influence as they may have with the clergy of their Church and, particularly, that they may make their views known to the Pope." The laymen's petition did not directly take note of the Catholic religion of Sen. John F. Kennedy, the Democratic candidate for president although the statement was aimed at the campaign issue of religion. The Catholic laymen who invited the other signatures were: Heinrich A.

Rommen, professor of government, Georgetown University; Joseph O'Meara, dean of Notre Dame University's law school; Jerome G. Kerwin, professor of political science, University of Chicago; Francis G. Wilson, professor of political science, University of Illinois; George N. Shuster, former president of Hunter College, New York City, and now with the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions.

Neutralist Resolution Neutralized Action Taken After Menzies Blasts Khrusk UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.

(AP) U.N. General Assembly Wednesday night cut the heart from a neutralist resolution that would have called for President Eisenhower and Soviet Premier Khruskchev get together on new negotiations. Before the resolution itself could be put to the vote, the assembly on a preliminary test eliminated references to the U.S. President and the Soviet premier from the five-nation resolution. This reduced it to a mere call for new contacts between the U.S.

and Soviet governments. The sponsoring delegations got a late-night 15-minute recess to consider whether to go ahead with their effort. Earlier Australia denounced Soviet Premier Khrushchev as a hypocritical latter-day Caesar trying to break up the United Nations and advance his influence by threats and violence. Prime Minister Robert Gordon Menzies lat fly his assault, one of the strongest against the Communist chief thus far at this spectacular 15th General Assembly session. "Mr.

Khrushchev," the Australian told the assembly, "has sought to convert the United Nations into the disunited nations by dividing the ancient, Gaul was according to Julius three parts, which he conveniently though perhaps not very accurately describes as the Communist world, the free democratic world (or as he might prefer to call it so as cot to step outside capitalist world) and the step outside the neutral world." This was a reference to Khrushchev's proposal to scrap the office of the U. N. secretary-general and substitute a board of three veto-wielding members representing Communists, the democratic world, and the neutralists. Youth Tries To Fire U.N.

He had a sorcalled Molotov soda bottle filled with gasoline, with a rag for a fuse. With police on special alert for the U.N. General Assembly meeting, there was little chance of Hogan's reaching the U.N. buildings. As for Khrushchev, he was a mile away, at his Park Avenue residence.

Hogan was sent to Bellevue Hospital for mental examination after Thomas J. Hogan, a disabled World War I veteran, told Magistrate T. Vincent Quinn: I'm the father of this defendant and when he drinks he gets himself into trouble. He's a little bit disturbed and, if you will, I'd ask that you send him to Bellevue." May Use Beams of Light As TV, Phone Carrier NEW YORK (AP)-A new theory someday able to send 10 million television programs simultaneously OP a beam of demonstrated publicly for the first time With the demonstration, Bell Laboratories announced it had conducted communications tests with the device. It had successfully transmitted light signal almost 25 miles from one point to another in New Jersey.

And it had sent another light signal one quarter of a mile through a tube. Both experiments indicate the feasibility of using beams of light within tabes or wave carry long distance telephone or television comrmmfcations. The demonstration followed by almost two months the announcement by the electronics laboratory of Hughes Aircraft that its scientists had successfully created an amplified and coherent beam of light. Both Hughes and a light beam so intense and disciplined that its rays are very nearly parallel. The Bell as it is spread only some 100 feet traveling the 25 miles from Holrndel to Murray Hill in New Jersey.

David L. Lawrence's committee on education reported Wednesday. This represented a sharp increase from the 1950 average of $2,930, although still below neighboring New York, Maryland New Jersey, the committee noted in a second report on various phases of its comprehensive study of Pennsylvania education from kind- rgarten through college. Other points made in the research report were 80 per cent of Pennsylvania's teachers are college graduates. Many small high schools are unable to utilize the talents of teachers trained for special subjects.

A large proportion of new teachers leave 'die profession within five years. The report tied in die turnover in the profession with the state's average salary. "The constant turnover among beginning teachers tends to hold down expenditures for teachers' salaries by keeping high the num- aer of teachers at or near the minimum salary," the report said. "Some school districts are nclined to hire beginning teachers for this reason." Average salaries reported from neighboring states were: Maryland New Jersey, New York, Ohio, $4.800, and West Virginia, $3,610.

Hundreds Of Dead Birds On Runway; MayHaveStalled Jet Engines BOSTON (AP) of dead a Logan International Airport hold the key to New England's liggest airplane disaster that took 1 lives late Tuesday. R. Quesada, federal av- ation administrator, noted this possibility Wednesday as civil aeronautics officials began an in- estigation of the crash into the sea of a four-engine Eastern Air Lines Electra just after takeoff. "We are convinced," the general said, "a large number of star- ings were at the end of that runway when the plane took off.

They come down on runways to get warm.

And, he added, those on the runways were alive Tuesday afternoon. The plane was bound for Philadelphia, Charlotte, N.C., Greenville, S.C., and Atlanta. Many of the passengers were Pennsylvania businessmen, some of whom had attended a shoe convention in Boston. Also aboard were 15 newly enlisted Marines, bound for boot camp. For most of them it was their first plane ride.

Twelve of them died. The 11 survivors of the crash included both plane stewardesses. Many of the injured are.in seritui condition. The captain, copilot and flight engineer died. A secret document was aboard the big jet, and for a time it was believed lost.

Republican national headquarters blamed it on poor lighting and makeup. A spokesman for the GOP National Committee said Wednesday both will be changed this time "but I don't know exactly how." And the man who applied Nixon's makeup in Chicago won't be around, he said.

"That's no reflection on him, however," the spokesman added. "He'll continue to work for us and advise us." The aide said the committee has never said there was anything really wrong with Nixon's makeup despite some stories to that effect, "It is just a combination of makeup and lighting that didn't work out," he said. "It's a funny thing, but Nixon wore the same suit and used same makeup and lighting in three other he looked fine on all of them." Ellis Moore, a National Broadcasting Co. spokesman working on arranging Friday's show, said the network will have two makeup experts on hand for use by either candidate.
