Is Being Corralled Copper Wire Theft Being Investigated Penn Central Railroad police today are investigating the theft of copper wire from along the main line tracks near the old Birmingham station site. The theft took place on Wednesday night.

Capt. William Kephart today confirmed that the investigation is under way, but was unable to give the amount of copper wire stolen. One report said it was a large amount. The wire was cut from poles along the tracks and while police were aware of the theft, they were unable to locate the spot where the wire was taken until yesterday. Births Mr.

Galley's (Continued from Page 1) opinion in which he said Calley was the victim of "unrestrained and uncontrolled pretrial publicity" and was denied the right to confront unfriendly witnesses. After Elliott turned down the Army request for a stay of execution, Army officials contacted Bork for authority to make the emergency appeal to Judge Brown.

A spokesman at the military prison said regardless of any ruling Calley would not be released "without orders from the appropriate department at the Pentagon." Calley, short, baby-faced officer who once said he wanted to make the Army his life career, is serving 10 years for the murders of 22 My Lai villagers in 1968. Calley would have been eligible for parole consideration last July had he not been released on bail early this year for three months. The Daily News published daily at 325 Penn Huntingdon. Pa.

The subcommittee voted to slash President Ford's request for $850,000 to $328,000, and the full appropriations committee is expected to approve next Thursday. The subcommittee also ordered a halt to government funds to pay Nixon's maid and valet.

Nixon is upset at other moves, the source said, and was particularly annoyed that the Marine Corps only "grudgingly" allows him to play on the golf course at Camp Pendleton, which is only a few minutes from his estate at San Clemente, Calif. Until he was hospitalized Monday, Nixon spent most of the time since his resignation Aug. 9 in seclusion there. Educators To Back Ford's Candidacy Robert Ford, Democratic candidate for Congress in the Ninth District, has been endorsed by the Pennsylania Political Action Committee for Education, it was learned today. "We are honored by the endorsement of the National Education Association (NEA) and the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA)," Ford said, "and we are aware that this endorsement came about for two reasons: "Congressman Shuster's voting record on educational legislation was rated at 0 per cent by NEA," Ford said "and my public service work originated in the field of veterans' education." Ford said that education is the absolute key to revitalizing central Pennsylvania.

"A trained and educated work force will play a key role in attracting industry to our district rather than forcing our young people to relocate in search of opportunities elsewhere," he said. "Education is the best return that a taxpayer gets on his dollar," Ford said, "Quite clearly, better trained people in return produce a higher tax base to their community. This is why the education of our children must always be one of our top priorities in Congress." GARY, Ind. (UPI) Federal agents have begun rounding up 37 persons, including three Gary policemen and a court clerk, In a major narcotics crackdown aimed at "the Family," a narcotics-peddling gang believed responsible for some 30slayings. All 37 of the of them members or associate members of "the Family" streetgang indicted by a federal grand jury in South Bend for conspiracy to distribute and sell narcotics in heavily populated Lake County, which abuts Chicago.

Eleven of those charged were believed connected with a Hammond-based drug-trafficking group. Twenty-two persons were rounded up Thursday and authorities expected to have all 37 in custody today. Though the arrests were aimed solely at narcotics, Gary Mayor Richard G. Hatcher has said he believes the Family to be responsible for at least 30 drug-related slayings in the past two years. Among reputed Family members and associate members arrested were Gary patrolmen David Bullock, 32, Nathan McKinnie, 31, and Gerald Patterson, 33, and Gary court clerk Eulis Andrews.

Authorities said Andrews was arrested at his home by agents who arrived as he was making a heroin sale. The indictments charged that the Family was organized in 1971 to traffic in heroin and cocaine and extort money and narcotics from other narcotics traffickers doing business in the area. Agents said the extortion was carried out through strong-arm tactics and threats that other dealers in the area would be arrested unless they paid for protection. The three policemen, authorities said, were used to back up such police action threats and to tip off the gang when raids were imminent. Gary officials say the tion plot touched off a gangland war over narcotics control and resulted in at least 30 murders in the past two years.

Until After Election Day ipjmi a Rocky's Case Is Being Delayed WASHINGTON (UPI) An intensive investigation of Nelson A. Rockefeller's finances will apparently delay his confirmation as vice president until after election day. Senate Rules Committee Chairman Howard Cannon, ended pubic hearings Thursday, but said he was against the committee acting until the Internal Revenue Service and Joint Taxation Committee make their reports committee sources say will not be complete until after Congress takes its October recess for elections. The House has already indicated it would not act on the Rockefeller nomination until after the elections, but the Senate had planned to complete its work before then. Committee sources said the delay did not necessarily mean problems.

Cannon said Rockefeller would be recalled if he was needed to explain any new evidence. A leader of the Attica prison riot, Frank Smith, also called "Brother Big Black" and under indictment for murder and kidnaping in the uprising, told the committee Rockefeller was "directly responsible" for the death of 43 persons because he ordered an assault by sharp- shooting state troopers. Black militant Angela Davis criticized Rockefeller's refusal to negotiate personally with the Attica inmates. "The most powerful man in New York State, Governor Rockefeller, turned a deaf ear, permitting State Police and prison guards to stage one of the most wanton massacres in the history of the United States," she said. The abortion question was argued by both sides.

Notre Dame University law professor Charles E. Rice said Rockefeller should be rejected solely for his signing what was then the most liberal abortion law in the nation, and his later veto of a bill to repeal it. "Rockefeller, more than any other person, is the incarnate symbol of the anti-life movement in the United States," he said. Assemblywoman Constance E. Cook, the author of the liberal New York State law, praised Rckefeller for his courage in signing the law.

"What his critics fail to realize, that with or without the law, there will be abortions," she said. "With the law they were done in healthy surroundings, without they were being done by butchers."

"Whatever the Honduran government asks for, we will be prepared to supply," Sanchez said. "A thing that makes me worry is that I understand several neighboring countries are sending trucks and even he said. "If a bottleneck is not now present, it will be."

DANCE Huntingdon Moose SEPT. 28 Music By "The Checkmates" 11 -3 WASHINGTON (UPI) The new public relations man at the Agriculture Department suggested a cross-country tour to help to clear public misconceptions over food prices. Steven Laine, the new USDA chief of public affairs, got the brainstorm and sent a memo to Agriculture Secretary Earl L.

Butz. -The way it was discussed with various department public information officers earlier this week, called for the use of music ranging from a hymn of thanksgiving illustrating the pilgrims' start of American food production to "America the Beautiful" representing the modern bountiful harvest. Sources said Laine also had proposed closing the session with a prayer. Lane said Thursday, however, any cross-country tour will use a "town meeting" format. "A road show is not my idea," he said.

The concept of a traveling tent show brought immediate criticism from congressional leaders, one suggesting that the Agriculture Department "has lost touch with reality." Laine said he is now leaning toward meeting kind of setting." At the meeting, he said, people would have a chance to ask questions, and the USDA could give information on "the real facts about food prices." He appeared to be considerably less enthusiastic over his idea and said if it used at all. it won't be until late this year or early 1975. "Hopefully, it would be a forum where an invaluable exchange of information could result from all this," Laine said, "but we are doing a lot of things right now, and I guess in terms of priorities, it would be pretty low." A decision on the question- answer sessions won't be made until after the World Food Conference, scheduled for early November in Rome, Laine said, since the forum would "be more meaningful then." Laine said he also would like to disseminate information on how better to spend the food dollar. "It's a tough thing, and it's very complicate Laine added. "Even though the situation won't go away, people can live with it better if they understand it." Congregate (Continued from Page 1) meals and a social period for elderly citizens of the county five days a week at sites in Huntingdon, Mount Union, Alexandria and Rockhill Furance, has been serving between 150 and 160 meals a day.

With the cutback in funding, Chesney stated, "we have enough money to operate the program for about ten more days. If the budget isn't revised by that time, the county will have to shutdown the program." He put the responsibility for that revision squarely on the shoulders of the Department of Public Welfare. A meeting with welfare representatives has been set up by the commissioners for some date next week to try to iron out the problem. Commissioner Chesney emphasized however, that the county will not incur a deficit to continue the program. Commissioners Chesney, Gordon Haverstock and James DiCosimo, Chief Clerk Lewis Greene and Atty.

Lynn Corcelius, the county solicitor, held regular public session yesterday in the courthouse. They met with William Swigart and Maurice Lan- sherry of the board of directors of the Huntingdon County TPA who presented a request for $3500 as the count's contribution toward the $20,000 TPA budget for 1974-75. The county officials also met with Juniata College professor Gregory Giebel and student president Carl Glaeser to discuss means of encouraging college students to vote in elections. The college delegates had requested a registration outpost be set up at the college in attempts to increase student participation in the election process. However, requirement for registration facilities and the short period of time involved make this suggestion impractical for the upcoming election, the county officials commented.

A quarterly meeting of the State Association of County Commissioners will take place next week in Harrisburg, on October 10 and 11. One of the major items to be discusssd is a new tax claim bureau system to deal with the mandated change in the method of handling returned taxes. Atty. Corcelius, Atty. Warren Yocum and County Treasurer Richard Kidd will attend this session on Friday afternoon.

The commissioner's expect to leave for Harrisburg late on Wednesday, so the next regular public meeting of the commissioners has been scheduled for Wednesday morning, October 9 at the courthouse.
