Mr. Aichele said he doesn't quite "feel up to a party" this year, but inactivity hasn't been his forte. After his 103rd birthday last year he staged a one-man art show at the Bar-negat Civic Association clubhouse. If even by his own admission he has "slipped a little," it is apparent that he has been adept with his hands. The paintings shown were part of an oils collection accruing from his hobby of painting he abandoned in 1960.

He also was handy with a fishing pole and fishing was a major activity until about a year ago. Mr. Aichele's son said many congratulatory messages and gifts from friends have been arriving, amone them a letter from Robert M. Ball, head of the Social Security Administration. The letter from Washington contained congratulations and one of the $40 monthly social security checks Mr.

Aichele has been receiving under the new government over-72 benefits plans which became effective in October 1966. A self-employed painter and decorator most of his life, Mr. Aich-e'e never logged any conventional social security credits. He was born Jan. 4, 1866.

in New York and is the oldest living member of the New York Turnverein. an athletic and social club. He attributes his long life to hard work and keening busy. William Aichele is one of his eight children, seven of whom are living. There are also 16 grandchildren and 33 great grandchildren.

The elder Mr. Aichele gave up smoking many years ago and doesn't drink liquor. However, his son once attributed his father's lontrevitv to his nightly ritual of drinking a glaps of ine.

Saperstein, a labor racketeer who had survived a gangland execution attempt in 1956, had been indicted on a loansharking charge in 1948, and convicted in 1958 of conspiracy to embezzle almost $1 million in union welfare funds.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska Ifl Brendan Kilmurray and Roland McNeil found that sheltering in an igloo and drinking lots of hot water was one way to survive after their helicopter came down in the arctic wastes. Chipper and saying they felt fine, the two were flown here yesterday from Umiat, a tiny settlement 40 miles from where McNeil had set down the helicopter 12 days earlier. For eight days McNeil, 34, of Grandview, and Kilmurray, 29, of New York City, stayed with the craft, which contained survival gear and food supplies. But Thursday they decided to hike out. The temperature hovered around the 40-below zero mark and three hours after they started they were caught in a whiteout, when the snow in the air and on the ground combines to blot out the horizon.

"So, we dug an igloo in the snow, on the side of the river bank." said Kilmurray. The two crawled in and holed up for two days. To help ward off freezing they built a fire and melted snow in tins to obtain hot water. When it cleared Saturday morning, the two used their map and a compass to chart a course for Umiat. It took them 13 hours and they were without food.

The U.S. Command said it was Investigating Lawrence's broadcast "to decide if there was any violation of a military regulation." It said it would have no comment on the newscaster's charge until the investigation was completed. Lawrence said in a statement that he and eight other mem bers of the news staff had signed a letter asking the net work for a clear definition of censorship policy.

He said the request "was totally ignored," but of the nine he was the only one still assigned to the network news department. He also charged that "significant network news reports con cerning the Vietnamese govern ment, a local peace demonstra tion and black market activities in Saigon recently were banned" from the network. He said he had also been told he could not select film lot the war portions of his telecasts, because his choices were unfavorable to the South Vietnamese government. losing power and the iuel tank selector was inoperative. Further information indicated the plane was flying over Delaware Bay and heading for a land point between Cape May Point and Town Bank.

Following the call, an Allegheny Airlines flight in the area diverted to aid in the initial search, but the Coast Guard soon released it. The plane, reported to be a Piper Comanche, is the second small aircraft to disappear hi the area within a year. Last winter, a private plane carrying several young people disappeared after taking off in a rain storm from the Atlantic City Airport about 20 miles from the present search area. V'i SAIGON tf Two GI pews-casters were questioned by the U.S. Command's inspector general today about their charge that the command censors news broadcast to U.S.

forces in Vietnam. One of the two, Army Spec. 5 Robert Lawrence, 27, of Atlanta, was accompanied by a military lawyer during the interrogation. The other, Marine Cpl. Thomas M.

Sinkovitz, 21, of Harrisburg, did not request a lawyer and was questioned alone, a U.S. spokesman said. Lawrence made the censorship charge at the end of his regular 11 p.m. newscast Saturday night on the armed forces network. He claimed that the network's broadcasters were "not free to tell the truth." Sinkovitz followed Lawrence with a sports report and in a preliminary remark said: "Thank you, Bob, in more ways than one." He told newsmen later that he meant the remark as a "complete endorsement" of Lawrence's statements.

Quietly JOHN M. AICHELE SR 7 Arrested In Car Face DruiiCotuils LAKEWOOD Police have charged three youths and four juveniles, whom they found in a car parked off Kennedy boulevard, with possession of narcotics and narcotics paraphernalia. Thomas A. Hughes, 19, of Cooper West Long Branch; Robert P. Geiges, 18 Channel Toms River, and Robert J.

Clickner, 20, of Cypress Lane, Jackson Township, each has been released in $500 bail on the charges. They will have Municipal Court hearings Feb. 9. Four girls, all 17 years old and all from Point Pleasant, were arrested with the thre youths and also charged with possession, police said. The girls have been released in the custody of their parents, pending ju-venile court hearings.

Police said Patrolmen Thomas Sandlin and Michael Lynch made the arrests early yesterday morning when they investigated a parked car ith several occupants. The patrolmen found marijuana and narcotics paraphernalia insioV and outside the car, police said. The arrests came less than a month after a wide-scale series of narcotics arrests here in December. Police Capt. Harry Justus complimented Patrolmen Sandlin and Lynch, and said their action showed the police policy of stringently checking all parked cars for possible narcotics violaters is working well.

Capt. Justus added the arrests showed the local po'ice "are on top of controlling the drug situation here." of rising retail costs over the past two years, annual costs for maintaining a family of four rose at least 12'4 per cent since 1967. At an "intermediate or moderate level," the report said, a family of four had to spend $11,236 last spring to maintain its standard of living. Costs Varied At a "lower" level, this cost a familv of four $6,771. and at a "higher," level, $16,914, for the same period, the report said.

"Most New York workers received substantial pav increases between 1968 and 1969," the report said, "but increases in purchasing power were limited and in some cases completely eroded by sharp price rises over the years." Factory, clerical, plant and other categories of blue collar workers in the area received record pav gains in 1969, the report said, but despite them, "increases in purchasing power were substantially limited by 'he sharpest area price increase since the Korean War period."

Several state agencies and labor unions are fighting the discontinuation of the once daily runs though, and say thev will keep up the fight. The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio appealed last month for a postponement of the discontinuation.

But the Sixth Circuit Court in Columbus rejected the application. An application for a further stay was also denied Jan. 2 by Associate Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart, who is assigned appeals from the Sixth Circuit Court. The railway had originally asked for permission from the Interstate Commerce Commission to terminate the passenger run on Aug. 30.

But the ICC ordered a routine 120-day stay to allow for a series of hearings in cities along the train's route. The train was then scheduled to make its last run on Dec. 30, but a railroad spokesman said it was continued until yesterday because of the extra number of travelers at the end of the holiday season. A railroad spokesman said no determination had been made on the disposition of the HOBOKEN (AP)-The Erie-Lackawarma Railroad's last long distance passenger train made its final run last night, thus closing more than 80 years of rail service between Hoboken and Chicago. The train, the Lake Cities, was loaded mostly with college students returning to school after the holidays as it pulled out of the Hoboken station at 7 p.m.

Its counterpart left Chicago at the same time, bound for Hoboken. A few railroad buffs were on hand in Hoboken to snap pictures as the Lake Cities went the route of so many other long distance trains, including the Erie-Lackawarma's own Phoebe Snow, one of the country's most famous trains, which was discontinued in 1966. The demise of the Lake Cities train means Erie-Lackawanna passenger service will be limited to commuter trains only. The railroad said the Hobok-en-Chicago run has lost money for the last several years. A railroad spokesman said $1.2 million a year could be saved by eliminating the service.

Railroad figures show that the run averages just over two persons per station, which A torrential all day rain had swollen the Mendoza River to overflowing, causing flooding in many areas outside the city of 700,000. Suddenly the dam burst at Godoy Cruz, a small village just outside the city. The flood of mud and watsr drowned motorists in their cars as it swept the autos along the streets. It uprooted trees, smashed bouses, swept pedestrians off their feet, and poured through streetside outdoor cafes. At least 500 people were left homeless or injured as the ater and mud ripped into flimsy 6hacks on the edge of the city, police reported.

In 30 minutes, mud and water covered eight square miles of the city. A woman survivor said she was knocked down by the rushing water and her two children were carried away to their death. Another woman was drowned as the water carried her along San Martin Street, the city's main avenue. A 7-year-old child running from a car was caught by the torrent and drowned. Twenty persons in a funeral procession tried to escape into nearby trees, but one of them was drowned.

U.S., Allies Clash With Red Troops SAIGON Gn Government Infantrymen and U.S. Marines operating in South Vietnam's northern provinces clashed with enemy troops twice yesterday following a flurry of enemy attacks in the area Saturday night. South Vietnamese troops fought a third battle in the Mekong Delta. The U.S. Command reported that Marines and enemy troops exchanged rifle and machine-gun fire 24 miles south of Da Nang.

One Marine was killed and five wounded In the brief fight. Enemy losses were unknown. South Vietnamese communiques claimed 17 North Vietnamese soldiers were killed by tne governments highly rated 1st Infantry Division in a battle about five miles below the demilitarized zone. Eighteen Viet Cong were reported killed by government troops in scattered fighting along the banks of the Mekong River 80 miles southwest of Saigon. Field reports said two government soldiers were killed and 41 wounded in the two battles.

The U.S. Command reported 10 enemy rocket and mortar attacks during the night, but said only four of them caused casualties or damage. Three Injured As Car Skids On Icy Road MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP Three persons were injured in a weekend auto accident after the car in which they were riding skidded on icy Common-walth boulevard and hit a tree. Michael Vaughn, of W. County Line Jackson Township, was listed last night in fair condition at Community Memorial Hospital, Toms River, with a fractured skull and face cuts.

He was a passenger Saturday night in a car driven by his brother, David. Both David Vaughn and another passenger, Michael Alberto, Jackson Township, were treated for back injuries and face cuts, respectively.

Commissioner Horace J. Bryant Jr.

says, he is prepared to give the companies the increase because of the time that has elapsed since the original rejection in February 19C8. At that time Bryant's predecessor, Charles E. Howell, denied ihe companies a 20.6 per cent increase because, he said, they did not take into account their investment earnings when figuring their profits. The Supreme Court, however, has asked the department to reconsider the request because the 1 elapsed time would allow the decision to be made on the basis of actual expenses rather than 1 projections. Hearings will begin in a I month on the request, but Bryant says he may grant the temporary increase to allow the companies to meet present expenses.

Sortie companies not included among the 142 have already received rate Increases, ranging as high as 26 per cent. In a similar case, Bryant recently granted Blue Cross Hospital Insurance Plan a temporary 28.5 per cent increase while considering its request for an even larger hike.

CAPE MAY POINT (J) -The Coast Guard continued its search today for a small, twin-engine plane which issued a distress call late yesterday.

A Coast Guard spokesman said two cutters and three helicopters will center the search six to eight miles south of Cape May in Delaware Bay. He said the plane, with an undetermined number of passengers, may have gone down in that area as it attempted to reach the Cape May County Airport. The National Aviation Facility Experimental Station at Pomona monitored the distress call at 9:02 last night. The plan's pilot said he was H.J. Preston Dies; Was Civic Leader Many GOP Voters Backing A bernathy NEW YORK ffl Nearly a million new jobs and record earnings in the New York-Northeastern New Jersey area during the past decade were offset by almost equally sharp price increases, the Middle Atlantic Regional Office of the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said today.

In a 21-page report titled, "1969 Trends in Employment, Prces. and Earnings in the New York Area," the bureau that jobs in the area increased bv 138,000 in 1969 to a tca' of 6.626.000. The report said that weekly factorv earnings increased bv S38, or 43 per cent over the past 10 years, but that a simultaneous 29 per cent price increase limited real earnings to only an 11 per cent gain over the period. Comnarlson Favorable Unemployment in the area, the report said, averaged 3 2 per cent of the work force for the first 11 months ot-1969, com-paring favorably with a national jobless rate of 3.5 per cent for the period. From 1959-1969, New York City accounted for only one out of every four new jobs added in the area, the report said.

Nonfarm and nonfactory jobs increased in the city during 1969, the report said. Manufacturing jobs in the city, however, averaged 839,000 in 1969, a decline of 5,000. This brought the total decline in such jobs for the 60's to 124,000, the report said. Prices Soar Area consumer prices in 1969 rose at the sharpest rate in 18 years, the report said, averaging 6.2 per cent, or substantially-above the 4 per cent increase in 1968.

Mr. Abernathy is the nominee of Mayor Elmer F. Stikeleather for the Council seat Mr. Stikeleather, a Democrat, vacated Thursday to take the borough's top political job.

Although Mr. Abernathv, a councilman the past six years, is a Republican, the all GOP Council is reluctant to confirm him. The Republican hierarchy feels Mr. Abernathy deserted the party by refusing to run on the same ticket with former Republican Mayor Howard J. De-vaney, the man Mr.

Stikeleather defeated last November. A motiti to confirm the nominee when the government organized Saturday was tabled by a 3 to 2 vote with Mr. Abernathy 's opponents, Councilmen R. Dennis Swanson. Emil F.

Zezula, and James Malone, pushing for the delay. Mr. Abernathy was supported by Councilmen David B. Meseroll and Harry Kronen-wetter. Most rank and file Republi cans appear to be dissatisfied with the leadership's opposition to Mr.

Abernathy. Mr. Meseroll reported yester- day that signatures on petitions asking the Council to confirm Mr. Abernathy's nomination have already surpassed 200. And more and more prominent names are appearing on the list including the recent additions of former Councilman Thomas Cherry; Harcourt S.

Ward, Planning Board chairman; Kenneth Clayton and Robert Taylor, both Planning Board members; Augustus C. Becker and Wallace F. Glass, both former Board of Education members, and Emi-dio Caruso, a member of the Parking Authority, the Board of Health, and president of Fire Company 2. All are Republicans and the group circulating the petitions has admitted it's trying to concentrate on GOP voters. In the week it has been active, the petitioners appear to have gathered signatures from some 20 per cent of the GOP voters.

About 1,500 persons voted Republican at the top of the ballot last year that is for Gov. led Cahill but only about two-thirds of that many voted Republican at the local level. The Coi'ncil is scheduled to take up the confirmation again when it meets tomorrow night. If it declines to confirm Mr. Sti-keleather's choice, -the Council may make its own appointment any time after Feb.
