Durnell Mrs. Mary Ettaw Warwick Durnell, 84, wife of the late signed to take a state job. Sand had been a veteran assistant district attorney and was first assistant when appointed.

Traditionally, the district attorney's post has "belonged to Upper Darby" and Dickey has been the man who named the district attorney. Under the patronage system, certain jobs and the personnel in certain county offices are filled by the leaders in -certain communities. In May, McEwen testified as a character for George (Skinny) Barrett Barrow, 65, of who U.S. Atty. Drew J.

T. O'Keefe described as a "high-echelon organized crime 'igure." McEwen, County Commission- nuiiic O'Keefe charged that Barrow, known as a friend of Dickey, "was and is a fulltime member of the 69th Street mob" in Upper Darby which "operates with impunity because of local protection." Dickey attended Friday's War Board meeting and was one of the first to telephone congratulations to McEwen. McEwen, in a brief prepared statement, said: "I am very grateful to my supervisor, Samuel R. Dickey, and to the entire board of supervisors. "It is a great honor to be se- to run on a ticket headed 3y such outstanding public of- 'icials as Frank Snear, Harry McNichol and Joe Dr.

Moll Advises If ft SVH-fl-1-l I Eyre is ex-Chester. Mayor Joseph L. Eyre, War Board mem-. to tly to have a ber and county recorder of deeds who, like Snear and McNichol, is. running for a second term in November.

Technically, the War Board has no legal status, so its recommendation of McEwen as the district attorney candidau goes to the county party's committee on vacancies for approval. But the committee is made up of five War Board members, so there's no doubt McEwen will be the candidate. And in traditionally Republican Delaware County, War Board endorsement is tantamount to election-at the, polls. County Democrats have not yet announced their Candidate for judge. The Democratic candidate for district attorney is attorney Albert R.

Holl Jr. of Marple. McEwen, who lives in Upper Darby with his wife anl three ciiildren, received a bachelor's degree from St. Joseph's College, his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania and was admitted to the county bar 'in 1957. lie is the solicitor for the Del' aware County Police Chiefs Association and for the boroughs James A.

CHESTER--The 500 participants in the Neighborhood Youth Corps (NYC) heard an address by Dr. Clarence Moll, president of PMC 'Colleges, at their first general meeting Friday in the PMC Alumni Auditorium. Norman Watts, NYC director, said the purpose of the meeting was to give' general directions to the participants and to answer questions they might have about their work sites. Watts said that the participants will meet every two weeks. "We want to meet someplace that will mean something to them," he said.

He said that many of the young people did not know that PMC was located in Chester. youths also learn more about what they want to do and what they need to learn to prepare themselves for it. "This is a tremendous opportunity that has been given to help young people find themselves in the world of work in which they must participate," Watts said. and school boards of Collingdale and Millbourne. He also is solicitor for several county volunteer fire departments and a lecturer for FBI police schools.

McEwen is a past president of the Delaware County Young Republicans and the Lawyers Club of Delaware County. The district attorney's post now pays $11,250. It goes up to $13,500 in January and would go even higher if the county's status is changed from 3rd to 2nd class as proposed.

Peers, Dallas, the judge rejected the claim of movie director Matt Cimber, father of Miss Mansfield's year-old son Antonio and generally assumed to be her husband. The judge's ruling was based on an affidavit from WeberVthat divorce the couple obtained in Juarex, Mexico, in 1963 was not valid and that no further divorce had been obtained by either.
