JL Strictly i'oliiies Miners Cheer Dewey In Hard Coal District FINANCIAL COMICS PUZZLES NEWS SPORTS FEATURES PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA. SATURDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 4. 1944 a 11 Mm By John M. Cummings Garrett Fees Doctors Worry Over Boy Quad Respiratory Difficult Noted In Second Hospital Bulletin The boy member of the Clrmlnello quadruplets, born early Wednesday, is causing some concern among physicians and nurses at the Lying-in Department of Pennsylvania Hospital, it was indicated in a bulletin issued yesterday.

Issued by Dr. Ralph M. Tyson, pediatrician in charge, the bulletin stated that "the three girls are doing nicely," but the boy "still has a little respiratory difllculty." "His lungs are not yet fully expanded, but he has a good lusty cry," the statement continued. "He needs a good deal of attentioa Nov. 3.

THE reception accorded Governor Thomas E. Dewey, the Republican nominee for President, in his swing through the Wyoming Valley Thursday night, gave color and substance to the prediction of Governor Martin that the vital State of Pennsylvania will be found in the Dewey column at next Tuesday's election. In Wilkes-Barre and again in Scranton, thousands of citizens assembled in armories sent up roof-raising cheers at the appearance of Governor Dewey. The automobile caravan which transported the candidate and his party from to Scranton passed through a dozen small mining towns and in each eager citizens lined the route to applaud the Governo: At this stage of the campaign, it is hardly likely that crowds mean much one way or the ether. Certainly the appearance of the Commander-in-Chief in aiy community would attract people In large numbers.

In the case Df Mr. Dewey, who Is given at least a 50-50 chance of being the next President, thefb Is a natural desire for a squint at the mar. who may lead the country during the ensuing four years. NEVERTHELESS, the crowc that turned out for Mr. Dewey in the two large hard coal cities were significant, and for a number of reasons.

To begin with, Luzerne and Lackawanna counties have been Roosevelt strongholds since the first campaign of the Commander-in-Chief away back there in 1932. Four years ago the Commander-in-Chief he was then known by the simple, inelegant title of President came within eight votes of carrying Luzerne by 22.000. He took Lackawanna, cf which Scranton is the county seat, by something like 15,000. ourt Remits 'J I SCHOOL CHILDREN DONATE CLOTHING Pupils at' the D. Newlin Fell School, 9th st.

and Oregon are shown yesterday as they gave bundles of clothing to the third annual two-day drive conducted by all the public schools in the city. The children's clothing will be distributed among war refugees in Great Britain, Russia, Greece, Jugoslavia and other countries. Suit Protests War Chest 43 IPei'eent of Goal Subscriptions and donations totaling $4,107,992, or 43.2 percent received in the 1945 United War Cost 'Club7 $40,000 Attorney Asks investigation Virginia, Ohio and West Vlr glnia residents who believe themselves eligible for shares of the $20,000,000 Garrett snuff for tune have paid fees totaling more than $40,000 to an association organized to help them press their claims, it was disclosed here yesterday. Wilhelm F. Knauer, prominent Philadelphia attorney, appealed to William M.

Davison, master In the hearings to determine the rightful heirs of the late Henrietta E. Garrett, to Investigate the activities of the association "and take appropriate action." 4500 CLAIMANTS PAY DUES He said the organization, oper ating from a main office in Vir ginia, has a staff of field agents. who have enrolled 4500 claimants to Garrett fortune shares. AH of the claimants pay dues to the association, Mr. Knauer added.

"The association has presented no evidence thus far in behalf of its subscribers," Mr. Knauer told Mr. Davison, "tending to establish relationship with Mrs. Garrett. The association has conceded on the stand at recent hearings that no evidence can be offered 'at this FURTHER DETAILS Mr.

Knauer, explaining the sit uation in further detail last night, added that "the association's rep resentatives have announced that its agents intend to continue their solicitations." In petitioning Mr. Davison to in stigate action against the association and its officers, through the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office, Mr. Knauer held that it was unfair to permit any organization to collect money "when there is no proof whatever" of kinship to Mrs. Garrett, among those solicited. ACTION SUGGESTED He said last night he believes Pennsylvania State or Federal au thorities should cite the association's activities to the proper authorities in Ohio and the Virginias, "who pos sess jurisdictional, powers to investi gate the matter." Mr.

Davison and the examiners in the Garrett will hearings have taken the stand that their function is to uncover legitimate heirs to the huge estate, and that the process of determining the fairness or unfairness of any solicitation of claimants by any organized group is one for other authorities. "I agree with the stand taken bv Mr. Davison and the Examiners," Mr. Knauer said, "but I feel very strongly that something should be done about this situation by the proper authorities in the States affected." Baby Rescued As Home Burns A stubborn fire which damaged a two-story dwelling at 2118 S. 70th early yesterday afternoon, forced five occupants to flee to the street.

Extra Ire apparatus was sum moned when it was feared the flames might spread across the street to St. Vincent's Hospital for Women and Children.

Driven to the street were: Mrs Virginia Killibrew, 18, her daughter, Dorothea, 21 months old, who was rescued from her crib on the second floor; Audrey Blackstone, 13; Joseph Blackstone, 15, and Mrs. Homer Blackstone.

He will be called Michael, his father revealed. Since their birth the quadruplets were known simply as and in the order of their arrival. Mrs. Clrmlnello will name the girls later. HAVE 65 PCT.

CHANCE Dr. Tyson has estimated that the infants, born six weeks prematurely by a Caesarian operation to safeguard their mother's health, had a 65 percent chance for survival with each day's continued existence increasing that percentage. The babies, attended by six special nurses, two on each eight-hour shift. are being kept; in incubators under oxygen. Their 30-year-old mother has not seen them she is in a sev enth floor room across the aisle from their converted private room but is expected to do so when she Is able to walk, in about 10 days.

PASSES OUT CIGARS The quads will be kept in the hos pital for six to eight weeks, or until they gain their normal birth weight. Yesterday, for the first time since the much-publicized event, their father, Joseph Cirminello, 30, re turned to his Securities and Ex change Commission office and passed out cigars. "I guess I'm expected to give out four cigars to each of you, but I can't go that far," he said, smiling broadly. A junior corporation ana lyst, he left a short time later. He is on leave, and did not say when he would resume his duties.

MOTHER IS PROGRESSING His wife, Mrs. Kathleen Hatcher Cirminello, meanwhile was "showing very good normal progress," accord ing to Dr. Tyson. In general, the Infants "retain their food well, and have good color, and the body functions of all four are considered normal," Dr. Tyson said in his daily report Charles S.

Paxon, superin tendent of Delaware County Hospl tal, disclosed yesterday that the Cirminellos, who live at 351 Har rison Upper Darby, went to that hospital on Aug. 31, when Mrs. Cirminello had an X-ray examirui tion on the advice of her physician, Dr. John C. Ullery.

Although Mrs. Cirminello was not apprized of the fact, "it was definitely determined that the patient was to have quadruplets," and Dr. Ullery decided im mediately to send the woman to Lying-in Hospital, where she had been registered, Mr. Paxon said. Surf Yields Body Of Phila.

Woman A well-dressed woman identified as Mrs. Emma Albright, 52, of the Rittenhouse Plaza Apartments, 19th and Walnut was found dead on the beach at the foot of Clarendon Margate City, N. yesterday Dr. Isaac E. Leonard, Atlantic county physician, said that "from all indications," the victim commit ted suicide by walking into the surf She had been dead only a short time when her body was found.

A tide table was in her coat, Dr. Leonard said. Identification was made by a son Richard Albright, of 508 Maine ave Aldan, who said that she had been divorced for some years. She had been staying recently at an At lantic City hotel. Scavengers Warned Magistrate Keller H.

Gilbert, In charge of the rubbish court in the city's campaign to keep streets clean yesterday announced that scaven gers were permitted to pick up waste paper and bundles left on the street by householders, provided they do not disturb the containers. Scaven gers who disturb bundles and litter the streets will be dealt with se verely, he said. No such majorities are in the wood for the Commander-in-Chief in this year of liberation. In all likelihood he will carry these two counties. Still, there Is the possibility of an upset ar it is not being overlooked either by Republican or Democratic leaders.

A 5000 majority for the Commander-in-Chief is the extreme height of the Democratic claim. Down in Luzerne county, the talk is in terms of a majority of less than 5000 for the Commander-in-Chief. Your mathematically-disposed citizen will be quitk to note this would represent a big drop from the 22,000 landslide of four years back. THESE two counties, with anthracite mining as the basic industry, are strongholds of the United Mine Workers of America, the union ruled over with an iron hand by John L. Lewis.

Significantly enough, Lewis' sw vy over over his mine workers does not include their preference at an election. On economic questions affecting their daily on strictly union matters, they will follow to the end of the trail the man with the shaggy eyebrows. But the miners vote as they please. This was demonstrated in '-he 1940 election when, in spite of Lewis' fervent appeals in beh.ilf of Wendell Willkie, the mine workers, grateful for the comfrrting crumbs tossed their way by the Commander-in-Chief during depression years, displayed their gratitude by giving him impres sive majorities. Even some of Mr.

Lewis chief aides, Tom Kennedy, secretary-treasurer of the Mine Workers' Union, for example, were on the stump urging the third-term election of the Commander-in-Chief. BUT this year all is different, or so it appears on the surface. The miners think they a real grievance against the Commander-in-Chief. Tlnse who feel that way about it and there are many will vote J'or Governor Dewey. They will do 80, not because of any urgings from Mr.

Lewis, but because each In his own mind is convinced ttat is the proper thing to do. Those who stand by the Coinmander-in-Chief will do so from conviction. There are, of course, currer ts moving in and out of the mine workers' union which will an effect on the election. For one thing, a union official and a Democrat, John Kmetz, president of District No. 50, Mr.

Lewis' catch-all organization, preceded Governor Dewey to the platforn in Wilkes-Barre last night. In a rousing speech, the tyje of oratory peculiar to men who came up the hard way, Mr. Km Jtz served notice that as a Democrat he would vote for the Republican candidate. His chief reason: a firm belief that the re-election of the Commander-in-Chief would open the way for ie Communists to grab control of the union movement in Americ i. Fine of ax Jai ed Man An application for the remittance of a $3000 fine leveled on Martin Michael, alias Jack Southern, for mer Atlantic City numbers man who was a key witness in the case of Enoch L.
