Jan Maree did not get a hug from Surprise Snow Storm Hits Area Lung Baby It was supposed to be rain but workers struggling to get to their jobs this morning knew that one of those wet. southern snowstorms had surprised the district. The snow started in Huntingdon shortly after five a.m. although southern portions of the county reported snow at carlier hours. By 7 a.m.

this morning the heavy snowfall had accumulated one and one half inches and was still falling al 8:30 a.m. Total snowfall on the ground. including that remaining from the weekend snow's amounted to three inches. according to the U.S. Weather Bureau observer in Huntingdon.

Undeterred by the itecumulating snow the official weather forecast was still for periods of rain tonight and Wednesday and a rise of a few degrees in temperature could make the prediction accurate. The high temperature 1 in Huntingdon on Monday was 37 degrees with an overnight low reading of 25. It was still 25 degrees at 6:30 a.m. this morning and this was the reason the precipitation arrived in the form of snow rather than rain. The precipitation during the 24 hour period ending at 6:30 a.m.

today was .12 inches of water equivalent in the form of snow. Strike By Miners Is Inevitable WASHINGTON 1UPI federal mediator has initiated a last -ditch effort to avert it nationwide bituminous coal strike that United Mine Workers officials now describe as inevitable on Dee. 6. mediator William Hobgood called in negotiators for the union and the Bituminous Coal Operators Association today for the first time since talks broke off last Fiday. He acknowledged that pospects of settling all issues before the strike deadline are slim, but said, "There's always some hope." Sources reported the key issue of wildeat strikes has stymied agreement on any of the 30 contract articles.

Labor Secretary Ray Marshall, meanwhile, emphasized in an interview the administration does not intend to intervene to halt the strike. "It would not be a national emergency." he said. United Mine Workers President Arnold Miller said last Friday a strike then was virtually inevitable when the current contract expires at 12:01 a.m. EST next Tuesday. A strike as long as one or two months would cause little hardship for the nation.

which can rely on record coal stockpiles and rising non-union coal production. But the miners' health and pension funds would undoubtedly go broke during a walkout. Any settlement reached this week would not avert a walkout unless the two sides agreed on an extension of the current contract. The industry. has a contract.

no tradition, and ratification normally takes 10 days. Miller has indicated he would agree to an extension next week only if the two sides were close to agreeing. He did not indicate that was likely. Marshall also held out little 1977 Is Five Years her mother who is still in an iron the life-giving machine for a kiss. hope for an extension.

"I don't think it's out of the he said. "But 1 think it would be very difficult." He said he has warned the miners there will be no administration intervention, saying.

which during the past two vears have virtually bankrupted the miners' benefit funds. Industry contributions to the funds are based on actual coal production. The union wants a contractual right to strike over local grievances. But the industry has said it will not restore the financial stability of the benefit funds without an agreement banning all future wildcat strikes. The contract covers some 171.000 working American miners, and 80.000 pensioners.

Penelec Fined In Fatality Penelec has been fined $3,010 for safety violations uncovered alter a steam pipe explosion at the company's Williamsburg plant that killed six men. including three Huntingdon area residents. The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) levied the fines against the utility. Killed in the explosion were Mack Black.

Dudley: Harold Port. Petersburg: Howard W. Kifer and Robert C. Rupert. both 01 Saxton: William Henderson, Martinsburg and John Rabits, Williamsburg, who died five days later at Pittsburgh's Mercy Hospital burn center.

OSHA's citation lists a number of safety violations, but only one section relates to the fatal accident. The other violations, not considered serious ones, carry the major part of the fire: only $700 of the fine was levied as a result of findings from an investigation of the accident. Penelee has 15 working days to contest the OSHA findings. and is still conducting its own investigation; the company will issue a report. OSHA said the three violations relating 1 to the accident scene "could have contributed to the accident." but to what degree isn't known: more information is expected from metallurgical tests on the burst pipe.

OSHA said that steam generated at a high temperature and pressure can cause alterations in the "piping characteristics." and that "thermal a turbine washing method of injecting cold water into a high perature pipe cause a change in the strength of pipe." In the third violation of the relevant section. OSHA said the operation control panel. employee job assignment center and shift change center were too close to the main 12 inch steam line, and that the room did not have two exits. The paramount issue at this time of year seems to center around the family budget. ROGER'S WORKSHOP R.D.

At Hearing Today Secret South Korean Plan To Be Revealed WASHINGTON (UP1) House investigators have in hand what may have been a secret South Korcan CIA plan to spend $750,00 in 1976 to influence U.S. foreign policy, and more for 'sources campaign contributions, said today, said a House International Relations subcommittee looking into the K- CIA's activitics in the United Sates has the material, and panel Chairman Donald Fraser.

planned to reveal its existence today at the first of two days of public hearings. The sources also said the subcommittee had witnesses lined up to testify about the operations cluding Sohn Ho Young, a former KCIA agent based in New York who defected to U.S. authoritics two months ago. A statement prepared for Fraser's use and made available to UPI said in part: "At today's hearing we will present for the public record the KCIA's own secret written plan for clandestine operations to influence American public opinion and policy in 1976. This plan, which was drafted in 1975, is ambitious and detailed.

"It gives the KCIA's assessment of the situation in the United States, proposed courses of action. amounts of money to be spent, and names of persons, organizations and U.S. government agencies targeted for special attention. the topical headings in the plan are operations in Congress the exccutive branch in media circles in academic and religious circles and operations relating to Korcan residents. "The plan shows that approximately three-quarters of a million dollars were carmarked to implement these opcrations and there is a notation indicating that additional funds were to be set aside for congressional campaigns." One source said some of the activities described were "clearly illegal" and called the document "the strongest evidence by far ever presented in public of forcign intelligence attempts to influence forcign policy and public opinion in this country." In advance of today's hearing, spokesmen for the panel refused to identify any witnesses, on to be kept grounds secret the for security reasons.

But congressional sources said the key witness would be Young, who defected to U.S. officials Sept. 16 just before a squad of other KCIA agents supposedly got to his home in a bid to stop him. The House ethics committee and the Justice Department are conducting separate but parallel investigations into that scandal.

In 1976 she was ousted as vice chairman of the Democratic State Committee in a move engineered in part by Lt. Gov. Ernest Kline. Shapp's surprise firing of Mrs.

Tucker from her a-year post caused a shockwave of criticism and anger from black leaders in Pennsylvania and the United States. Led by Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil activist from Chicago, blacks met with Shapp immediately after the dismissal and demanded her reinstatement. They said it was unfair to fire Mrs. Tucker only on the basis of allegations.

They said her firing was, part of al nationwide trend to remove blacks from top-level jobs. Shapp said he 'made his decision because an internal investigation he trusted uncovered evidence of wrongdoing. He said he allows indicted Turnpike Commissioner Egidio Cerilli to stay in office because he was charged by federal prosecutors and Shapp has not personally seen their evidence. Shapp also was accused of bungling the firing even by those who supported it. They said the "theft of services" charge was made two years ago but Shapp did nothing about it then.

Japanese Cabinet Working TOKYO 1UPD Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda today ordered his newly appointed cabinet to draw up an economic program by next week to avert a trade war with the United States and other trade partners. Bul in the first test of Japan's intention to reduce its $17 billion trade surplus, Fukada ruled out new beef imports from Australia, New Zealand and the United States.

Fukuda drastically reorganized his 11-month-old government Monday and al the first cabinet session today ordered his new ministers to come up with a seven-point plan to reduce Japan's trade surplus. chiefly by importing more foreign goods. Fukuda set Dee. 6 as the deadline for the new plan. Japan is under strong pressure from the United States to reduce its exports and import more goods, which the Japanese say would have a disastrous impact on their already slumping domestic economy.

American officials have warned that Congress will take protective action to curb Japanese exports unless Tokyo acts by the end of the year to reduce its trade surplus. But Fukuda, in his first news conference since the cabinet shakeup, said his government will not liberalize imports of beef because it would be "destructive" to the domestic meat industry. "We want to bring prices of beef down by attempting to increase demand for domestic beef," he said. "We will not try to reduce beef prices by importing more beef."

HUNTINGDON 34,600 Bucks Killed Monday State Has Record Deer Harvest On First Day HARRISBURG (UPI) Ideal weather conditions helped hunters harvest a record 34.600 whitctails Monday on the opening day of Pennsylvania's two-week antlered deer season. The previous record of 32,000 was set in 1975. Snow depths in the state measured from just a dusting in the southeast to about seven inches some of the northern counties and provided good visibility for hunters. Game protectors said the turnout of hunters was about the same as in 1976, when rain. ice and snow blanketed the state on opening day and 29,600 bucks were bagged.

However, the north part of the state, which normally is the heart of Pennsylvania's best deer-hunting territory, had about 15 percent fewer hunters this year than on the first day last year. Potter county as usual had the largest estimated harvest of bucks, 2.250. Other leading counties were Warren and Forest 1,200 cach, Bradford 1.175, Huntingdon 1,150 and Lycoming 1,125. James J. Prusak.

41, West Mifflin, Allegheny County, was shot and killed while hunting in Shippen Township. Camcron County. Coroner Walter Coppersmith, who ruled the death accidental, said Prusak was struck in the abdomen by a slug from a 12- gauge shotgun fired by a 21- year-old hunter. Game Commission spokesman Ted Godshall called the shooting a "freak accident." "The victim's son was standing beside him when a deer bounded into their he said. "The son fired twice at the deer and missed.

At the same time, a third hunter using a shotgun fired four times at the same deer. The victim was killed by the fourth shot." People Uniting To Battle Fanatics LUBBOCK, Texas (UPI) Something snapped when the flight attendant told Richard Arnold and his wife to snuff out their cigarettes. "1 was damn' mad when I got off that plane," said Arnold. 35. Arnold, a restaurant owner, admitted they were sitting in a first-class section reserved for non-smokers, but that was because the smoking seats were filled and only one passenger was sitting in the non-smoking area.

The more they thought about it. the more irritated they got. And they started thinking about all the other rules the 55mph speed limit and scores of others they didn't like. So the Arnolds launched a counterattack by founding PUFF "People United to Fight happened to the silent majority?" he asked. "That's what PUFF is all about." Sitting in the temporary PUFF office in the back of his restaurant, he said there is a vocal minority in the United States that loves to cause trouble for everybody else.

Arnold has only his frustration pinpointed now, not any concrete plans. He has made a few moves: He hired a man in Washington to keep him informed of legislation" and signed with an advertising agency for a billboard and newspaper campaign next year to publicize the organization. But he is not yet certain of what laws confront him or what to do to sway public opinion. Since PUFF's conception aboard that Phoenix- Lubbock flight early this fall, the 250 letters the Arnolds have mailed across the country asking for support have generated a membership of 2,500 and about $18,000 in donations. He sends out order blanks for PUFF T-shirts, ash trays, caps and cigarette lighters.

Arnold. a former commercial airline pilot, is selling one of his restaurants and Stan Forbes. another commission spokesman, said cold temperatures and good snow cover made for ideal hunting conditions. "There was good visibility and a good snow cover which made for casy tracking and helped hunters recover wounded deer." he said. "Crippling losses should be low this year." The Game Commission estimated hunters during the two-weck scason will kIll about 57,000 antlered deer out of a total statewide herd of about 650.000 animals.

Commission biologists at: a deer check station along the Susquehanna River near Dauphin said preliminary indications were the deer seem to be in as good as or better shape than last year. This comes despite a winter that some say was the coldest in 200 years. "We sort of suspected that despite last winter the deer would be heavier and have better antlers," said Jack Giles, a biologist from Williamsport. "Initial indications are that we were He said the deer were in such good condition because of last year's tremendous acorn crop, which provided food throughout the winter and into the spring. The biologists checked cach buck to determine its age, weight and the size of its antlers.

leaving his other to a manager so he and his wife can devote themselves fulltime to PUFF, which is opening an office in a downtown skyscraper. PUFF doesn't limit its attacks to militant non-smokers. "We just happen to have the vehicle (smoking) to start jumping up and down about." he said. "The basic other thing I would like to go after is the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit." "I'm not saying that tobacco is good for you. I'm not saying tobacco is bad for you." said Arnold, who smokes a modest pack and a half a day.

time has come to call a halt to this idoicy. We can no longer stand by and hope that laws against smoking will not have an effect on our whole society." The Daily News published daily al 325 Penn Si. Huntingdon, Pa. Priced 15 cents per copy Second 1 class postage paid al Huntingdon, Penna. 16652.
