He was Allen N. Blackson, 21, of RD Coshocton, who was being held in connection with thefts in Coshocton.

He had admitted the thefts and others in Tuscarawas County to Sheriff Gilbert Kempf. He hanged himself with trouser belt in his cell a short tune later. The Sheriff said Blackson fastened his belt around a cross bar at the top of a double deck bed and then looped it around his neck. When he slumped the weight of his body, against the belt caused strangulation. Some of the stolen loot, including clothing, radios, cameras, and several boxes of tools have been recovered.

Blackson was born in Dover and served two years in the Army during the Korean War. He was a member of the 37th Reconnaissance Co. of the Ohio National Guard at Coshocton. He had no previous police record. He is survived by his widow, the former Mamie Chapman; his parents, Mr.

Eric Trevor, saddled his old mare. Dawn, and cantered tb work today. It was the first day of "Suez" gasoline rationing in Britain. Like thousands of other Britons Trevor had laid aside his auto to find other means bf'traveling to work. Public transport was jammed and towns and cities throughout Britain reported the quietest weekday traffic since the end of World War II.

Drivers now are obliged 1b hand over a coupon before they can buy gasoline. Each private motorist gets enough gasoline tbr 200 miles a month, a little less than 7 miles a day. Many motorists stocked up with full tanks in preparation for the start of rationing. Others balked at paying increased prices. There were also repbrts of a brisk black market operation.

The price of gasoline varies according to quality, with the average six shillings (84 cents) for an imperial gallon, or the equivalent of 70 cents ibr a U. S. gallon. The price has jumped about 20 cents because of the added cost of shipping oil products around the Cape of Good Hbpe and a new government tax to make up lost revenue. Reds Charge US.

Jets fly' Over Russia By HAROLD MILKS MOSCOW The Sbviet government has accused three U.S. B57 jet bombers of trespassing near the big Pacific port of Vladivostok last week on a flight that was "clearly a reconnaissance attempt." A Soviet note sent the State Department via the U.S. Embassy in Moscbw demanded punishment for those responsible and that steps be taken to "prevent future violations of the 'state frontiers of the U.S.S.R. by American aircraft." (U.S. Air Force officials in Japan, where B57s have been sta- tibned since last January, said they had no knowledge of any such flight.

The State Department withheld comment until the note could be studied further.) The note said the three American planes flew over the area oi the big Siberian naval base Dec. 11 in the early afternoon. "Fine weather and gbod visibility prevailed in the area, precluding the possibility that the pilots lost their way," the note declared. It contended the flight "can be regarded only as a premeditated action of the U.S. military authorities with obvious re- cbnnaissance purposes."
