(AP) The Cambria County coroner investigated the death of a 17-year-old boy who was held at the county jail on burglary and theft charges.

Coroner James Barron said his initial probe of Christopher Rodericks' death on Friday night indicated it was a suicide, with the cause of death listed as asphyxiation due to hanging. Barron said his final ruling should be complete later this week-State police said prison officials found Rodericks hanging from cell bars with a sheet around his neck at about 8:30 p.m. Rodericks, of Hempfield Township, Westmoreland County, was accused of stealing beer from a distributorship In New Stanton, said the family attorney, Edward Gilbert. Rodericks was jailed In Ebens-burg because the Westmoreland County Detention Center had too many inmates. He'd been temporarily transferred to the lockup in Greensburg for a court appearance, and was returned earlier Friday.

His mother, Gloria Rodericks, said her son called her Friday to complain about how he was being treated. "He said please get his lawyer up there. He said they wouldn't take him to the hospital. He said his neck was hurt. He said they beat him," Mrs.

Rodericks told The Tribune-Review of Greensburg.

PITTSBURGH (AP) A second and a third case in which physicians infected with the AIDS virus practiced in western Pennsylvania have come to light.

Patients were not informed in the most recent instance because state health officials determined the doctor had not performed risky procedures during his employment as a neurologist at four suburban Pittsburgh hospitals. It was not clear if the risk to patients was examined in the case of another doctor, a family practitioner who died two years ago during his residency at Monsour Medical Center in Westmoreland County. Drs. Thamnook Wong-Mongkolrit and William Marcus Porter both died of a strain of pneumonia associated with AIDS. Porter, 42, died in May 1989 of complications from AIDS, his brother Joseph of Torrance, told the Sunday Tribune-Review of Greensburg.

The cause was believed to be AIDS-related pneumonia, or Non-farm jobs at high level in state HARRISBURG (AP) The number of people employed in Pennsylvania reached 5.16 million in June, the highest level of the year, but the summer increase was less than normal, the state reported. The job count, which was up for the fifth straight month, excludes farm workers, the self-employed, domestic workers and unpaid family workers. The number was up 10,800 from May, about half the seasonal norm, the Department of Labor and Industry reported Sunday. The total was down 47,900 from June 1990. Gains were reported from May to June in all manufacturing fields except stone, clay and glass products, primary metals, industrial machinery, transportation equipment and printing and publishing.

Drops were also reported in transportation, educational services and government, all of which were affected by the end of school. The Philadelphia area posted the largest May-to-June increase, 4,700 jobs. The biggest loss was the State College area, which lost 4,400 jobs. Cancelation KENWOOD The Penns Manor band practices that were scheduled for July 31 and Aug. 2 as well as the Clymer parade on Aug.

Monsour Medical Center's chief executive officer, William Harvey, declined to confirm Porter had AIDS and would not say if hospital administrators tried to determine it any of Porter's patients were at risk, the Tribune-Review reported in a copyrighted article. However, attorney Frederick Egler Monsour's court-appointed custodian, said the hospital will investigate intensively. "We'll do the responsible thing and start an investigation to see where we are," said Egler, who added, "I'm floored. I'm shocked." Porter told his brother he thought he contracted HIV from a needle stick at a London hospital where he was working in the emergency room when he accepted a residency at Monsour. His residency began in July 1988, but was cut short when he became ill, then weak.

He was diagnosed with AIDS in September 19B8 at Presbyterian-University Hospital in Pittsburgh. He told his brother the news the following March, the newspaper reported. Porter's residency would have included rotations in the specialties of surgery, obstetrics, pediatrics and internal medicine, among others. Porter also worked in Monsour's emergency room. "Bill had a difficult time facing his illness.

He kept it from some of his friends and doctors at the hospital until it was an acknowledged fact," Joseph Porter said. The brother quit his job as a reporter with a weekly newspaper in Kentucky to be with Porter in his last days. In the case of Wong-Mongkolrit, 42, who died of AIDS-related pneumonia Dec. 19, hospital officials said the Pennsylvania Health Department decided informing patients was unnecessary.

Tax votes will be another point of contention In the House and possibly the Senate. Pennsylvania is in its 29th day without a budget or spending authority. About 53,000 state employees missed a paycheck Friday, and 300 angry employees rallied at the Capitol demanding lawmakers pass a budget morial Hospital in Klltanning, Citizens General Hospital in New Kensington and Moiiongahela Valley Hospital in Washington County. The state review concluded that none of the procedures he performed posed any exposure problems for patients, said Elaine Krahe, the infection-control practitioner at Citizens General. Wong-Mongkolrit diagnosed and treated diseases of the brain but didn't perform surgery.

Robert Marino, executive director of Citizens General Hospital, said officials there didn't contact patients because of the state's determinations. "We followed their recommendations," Marino said. "I think we have to rely on the experts in the field for guidance. In this case, it was the Department of Health." The doctor submitted his resignation to one hospital Nov. 3 and said he wouldn't practice medicine in the state.

It was unknown how Wong-Mongkolrit, a native of Thailand and graduate of a Thai medical school, contracted AIDS. He never mentioned the disease, even as he was dying at Allegheny Valley, according to a physician who worked with him. "I called him several times at the hospital. He told me that he was very sick and that he might not make it," Dr. Supote Komen said.

"I thought it was suspicious that such a young person had pneumonia." Neither did he telt Armstrong County Memorial Hospital he had AIDS, said Dr. James Chi Ids, chief of the medical staff. "We learned about it through word-of-mouth," Childs said. "It was never given to us officially." A spokeswoman at Allegheny Valley Hospital declined to discuss the doctor's death. Officials there and at Monongahela Valley Hospital said concerned patients should contact the hospitals.

The first doctor in the region to test positive for the AIDS virus voluntarily stopped performing heart surgery in 1989 at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh and West Virginia University Hospital in Morgantown, W.Va. Dr. G. Edward Rozar Jr. now is employed in a laboratory at the Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin.

The word "Seminole" means "runaways," and these Indians from various tribes, traditionally linked to Florida, were originally refugees from whites in the Caroli-nas and Georgia. Later joined by runaway slaves, the Seminoles were united by their hostility to the United States. Formal peace with the Seminoles in Florida was not achieved until 1934.
