The Rev. Sidney Evans, pastor of Trinity Church In Bromley (Kent) England, himself a former Rotarian in Malaya, declared himself speechless at the award. He had been invited in as the evening's speaker, and related his experiences in three pastorates. Harold (Bud) Miller, recent past president of the Alton Jay cees and now a state director for that organization, was praised for his service to the com- Youth Nabbed After Break-in In East End A 13-year-old boy who told police he had broken into the East End Bargain Store, 434 E. Broadway on a 50-cent bet, was apprehended shortly before 2 a.m.

today after he fled from the business place on arrival of police. The youth told police an unidentified boy offered to pay him 50 cents if he would enter the store and shine a flashlight about the inside. The young burglar told police he waited until his parents were asleep, sneaked out of the house, and went to the store. Once at the store, the lad did as the other boy had told him, entering the building and shining a flashlight about. The flash light, however, proved to be his undoing.

It was seen by a passing motorist, Clarence Gwillim, Rte. 3, Godfrey, who telephoned police. First policeman on the scene was Patrolman Don Sandidge, who was directed by an unidentified passerby to the rear of the store from which the boy had just emerged. Sandidge pursued the youth and overtook him. The boy was released to his parents and the case referred to juvenile authorities.

LOUIS blocks in the heart of downtown St. Louis were threatened Monday by a spectacular fire which destroyed a vacant eight-story building and set fires in eight others.

Robert Olson assistant fire chief, said, "if things had gone wrong, we could have a regular fire storm." Fire Chief James J. Mullen, 12 firemen and one spectator were injured or stricken with heat exhaustion. The fire came during tiie worst St. Louis heat wave in eight years, with a high of 104 degrees. More than 300 firemen and 40 pieces of fire fighting equipment were used as embers were blown to roofs of other buildings as far as five blocks away.

Robert W. Duffe, director of public safety, said the main blaze was touched off by sparks from cutting torches used by men tearing down the eight-story structure, the old Carson-Union-May-Stern Store. The building was being was being razed for a 25-story office building. A penthouse air-conditioning munlty in many directions.

First for Non-Members Previous honorary memberships have been voted from year to year by the Rotary board of directors to past presidents of the organization. But George Springman acting secretary, said he believed this was the first time in the club's history the citations had been made in the true of paying honor to non-members for unusual community service. The Rev. Evans' citation especially mentioned his world-wide service as a Presbyterian mlnist er in not only England, but Malaya as well, and his local service through the summer as an exchange minister for the Rev. Cortley Burroughs, First Presbyterian pastor.

The British minister, who as he son of a working man undertook a laborer's job for six years before even entering col- ege, recounted to the Rotarians three lessons he had learnd rom his three pastorates. His first was in a mining community, Northumberland, where men labored in 2Mi-foot seams of coal. There, in war time, he found the men olten giving free shiftH for their country in that time of stress, going beyond the labor contracts, carried on "by a supreme and overriding purpose for There they hud found the "primeval tilings of the world in a pit." There, too, he said "all life revolved around the shifts. You learned many wonderful tilings about men who accepted you slowly. Judging you as they became better acquainted, but finally giving you their unstinting friendship." Never Criticizra In Malaya, against a backdrop of many ethnic groups following many different sets of customs and cultures, he said he learned to "Never criticize till you learn the reason why the other man Is doing what he's doing," In Malaya, for Instance, he found at the Rotary Club a wide diversity of diet restrictions represented by the various religions.

All could unite on one item of All showed appreciation of the fact that each representation was willing to join others In this as a basic menu item ut the club's meals. Hore, too, he accepted some criticism from a Chinese nurse, representing an othnic group which never has been addicted to use of handkerchiefs: She thought It wan "stupid to blow all those dirty germs into a piece of cloth, then carry it around with you. We can just wash our tiundu." He was in Malaya during the cleanup process after the Japanese invasion a cleanup Interrupted by the new Communist takeover. He expressed understanding for the small Chinese businessman of that era who, called to the door after midnight, faced a Bren gun in the hands of Communists, and was forced to pay money to them. Thus, he said, the Reds terrorists financed their campaign.

Progress Began He learned there, too, thai once the United States Information Service combined with (he British inject Ideas into the battle for minds, progress in the other direction began. "Men," he sold, "must fight with ideas rather than with rock- efr."

Griffin said he will recommend for next year a motor fuel tax project for instal lation of several electric signal lights at school crossings over major streets.

Griffin said he is now studying a map submitted through Assist ant School Supt. E. M. Leamon showing all public and parochial school crosswalk locations, and an accompanying suggestion of school authorities that 10 of these locations need electric signals for fully safeguarding school pupils. The city manager mentioned the signal light program in resorting on a recent conference between city and school officials on the problem of safeguarding pupils now that rollaway stop signs have been held illegal.

Agreed on, he said is painting! of crosswalks at all school crossings, and enforcement of the pedestrian safety ordinance that motorists must give right of way to pedestrians at such established crosswalks." An ordinance will be submitted, lie said, to provide for the revised cafety program, and city back- Ing for the enforcement. Griffin's informal report was given in response to a question by Councilman Jerome Springman as to how the school stop program is being worked out. Greek Alphabet Typewriters Stolen CHARLESTON, W.

Hundreds of policemen, firemen, area residents, Marines and soldiers criss-crossed the Brook- vtlle residential area of this suburb of Washington, D.C., Monday, looking for Rita Ohlgren and Maria Theresa Morley. They found neither children nor clues.

The FBI joined the case late Monday, 24 hours after the girls were reported missing. They were last seen playing in front of their 'adjoining apartment houses Sunday evening. Maj. RusselJ A. Hawes, Alexandria chief of police, said Monday night, "We must assume for the purpose of starting an investigation that the girls were probably induced to get into an automobile by a sex maniac and that they are either captive or we might as well face that unless a very unusual set of circumstances is Involved." The search began Sunday night after William Morley, father of one of the girls, notified police they were missing.

Searchers canvassed all homes in the area and combed a nearby woods and creek section. A hundred Marines from Henderson Barracks and 325 soldiers from Mt, Myer, joined the searchers. Police dogs were sent through storm sewers. A nearby gravel pit was checked five times. Each of the missing girls is four feet tall and weighs from 60 to 70 pounds.

Rita, with long dark brown hair and two front teeth missing, was wearing a white shirt and shorts. Maria Theresa, with long brown hair in braids, was dressed in a red and yellow striped blouse and white shorts. Marine Maj. A. S.

Ohlgren was believed to have returned home, but reporters could not contact him. He had left Saturday for a 13-month tour of duty in Japan, but was contacted at: Treasure with the news of its daughter and headed back for Alexandria. Ohlgren, a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., and his wife have three other children. Morley, an artist with the Inter- American Development Bank and a former Marine officer, was born in Longmont, Colo. He and his wife, the former Magdalena Cervantes of Guatemala, also have three other children.

Most of the passengers were rescued or scambled to safety: Officials said at least 13 persons were killed and 21 hospitalized with shock, burns and other injuries in Brazil's fourth major air disaster in 10 months. The big DCS stayed afloat for 15 minutes after hitting the water and then sank to the muddy bot torn in 15 feet of water. "Some bodies may still be in the plane," a fire department official said.

Officials said 11 passengers were missing but some were known to have survived and left the airport without notifying anyone. The Panair do Brasil airliner carrying 93 passengers and crew of 11 stopped over here on a flight from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Lisbon, Portugal. A stewardess, Fernada Fortu- nula, was the only crewmtimber reported killed. It was not determined immediately whether any Americans were aboard. i The plane was taking off from Galeao Airport on Governor's Island near Rio whin It went out of control.

Maj. Andrian Nikolayev, said that at the outset Aug.

19, "We were ready to shake each other's hand and to congratulate each other on the initial successes." His partner in space was Lt. Col. Pavel Popovich. "The spaceships Vostok III and Vostk IV were put into predetermined orbit with exceptional accuracy as regards both time and place," Nikolayev said. "We immediately established two-way radio communications, learned how each other felt and wished each other a happy journey." His reference to the proximity of the spaceships at the start of the reputed group flight followed speculation of some sources in the West as to a rendezvous.

Western spotters noted they were several hundred miles apart when the flight ended last Wednesday. The U.S. magazine Aviation Week said the United States has strong evidence that the space twins brought the two craft to gether. It said the evidence is forcing the United States "to make an extensive re-evaluation of military and civilian roles hi the space program." The U.S.De- fense Department refused to comment. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said avail- bale tracking station information indicates the two vehicles never came closer together than 100 miles.

Nikolayev said that he completed his record-breaking, 95-hour flight through space by parachute instead of landing aboard the Vos- tok in as the Russians reported at the time. He told the news conference, attended by about 500 Soviet and foreign newsmen, he jumped out of his spaceship as it neared a landing in Kazakhstan and came down by parachute while the Vos- tok III landed separately. plane," he said, "but it was going too fast and we skidded off the end of the runway and crashed into the water."

The old warrior waved a big cigar to the throng outside Middlesex Hospital where he had spent 54 days recovering from a broken hip. He broke his hip in a fall in his hotel at Monte Carlo June 28 and was flown back to London the next day. Sir Winston was brought out of the hospital in a carrying chair.

Sitting up, he was smoking the cigar. He was placed in an am bulance which took him to his home in Hyde Park Gate in Lon don's Kensington district. A large crowd waited for him there too. Both when he left the hospital and 15 minutes later" when he reached Hyde Park Gate big cheer went up. Some perhaps were a bit disappointed that the wartime prime minister did not flash his famous V-for-victory sign.

At the Churchill residence in Hyde Park Gate a ground floor suite was fitted out for Britain's elder statesman. Into it went a set of parallel bars on which Sir Winston will practice walking. The household staff prepared a quiet lunch for Churchill and his wife. Friends said Sir Winston is anxious to return as Soon as possible to the Riviera, where he was vacationing June 28 when he fell in his Monte Carlo hotel room and broke his left thigh. Churchill was flown to London the day after his fall, and surgeons pinned together the ends of the fractured bone.

During his hospital stay he developed phlebitis, a bronchial condition and jaundice but weathered all of them. Since his premature birth on Nov. 30,1874, he has survived numerous illnesses and accidents. Two Labor Disputes at Standstill Labor disputes with service stations and the Boy Scout waste paper collection service are reportedly at a standstill as neither labor nor management has scheduled further negotiation meetings. Lester F.

Baum, business representative of Local 971 of the Teamsters Automotive, Petroleum, and Allied Trades, said it will probably be "Weeks" before meetings are resumed in the service station strike. He said the National Labor Relations Board in St. Louis hasn't sent any information on the waste paper collection service strike. Negotiation meetings with service station dealers for increased wages failed to bring results and further meetings are unscheduled. Local 971 has petitioned NLRB for an election to determine representation of the employes of the waste paper service.

Scout officials have said that Charles Gillespie, manager of the paper collection service, is on va- Muntsville, Ala. fite Marshall Space Flight Center today that increasing numbers of building trades workmen were returning to their jobs en vital space projects. But the tef added (hat electricians, Who went on strike last week, remained off the job. S. Paul Styles, chief of industrial relations at the center, said the Corps of Engineers estimated that 68 per cent were on the job.

But the absence of the ISO electricians, whose strike triggered the mass walkout Isat Tuesday, left work stymied on the Saturn test tower, part of this nation's Moonshot program. Styles estimated that about 48 per cent of the construction work force was on the job Monday, when the back-tc-work movement started. Meanwhile, some of the contractors at the space center planned to discuss a report that their contracts could be canceled if they failed to fulfill their contractural obligations. National Labor Relations Board Officials are trying here to determine if the strike is on or not. Carlton Bryan, director of the NLRB's Birmingham office, said representatives are investigating to see if a federal court order is being carried out.

That order, issued Friday night by U.S. Dist. Judge Clarence W. Allgood, restrained an electrician's union from picketing for five days. There were no pickets Monday, but for the most part construction remained idle because only some of the workers reported.

Allgood set a hearing for Wednesday, fifth day of the injunction, to decide whether the injunction should be extended. The strike began last Tuesday when 150 members of Local 558 of the AFL-CIO's International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers set up picket lines. They were protesting employment of nonunion electricians by a subcontractor, Baroco Electrical Construction Co. of Pensacola Fla. About 1,200 members of building trades unions refused to cross the lines and construction on several top-priority space projects at the Marshall Center was halted.
