He was a memoer 1 I Lightning, Hail; House Damaged A Wicomico County designer's home was damaged slightly by lightning and a Riverton man's car windshield was broken in a brief but violent storm which hurled lightning and hail at this area early last evening.

Several farmers in the area re ported that there was little or no damage to crops caused by the hailstones, which varied from the size of a marble to "small ice cubes" in some places. The half inch or more of rain that fell, in a period of 10 or 15 minutes in some places, certain ly didn't hurt the drought ridden crops any. FIREMEN from Salisbury's Headquarters Company were call ed to the home of Paul Culver on the Quantico Road, about 7:45 p.m. after lightning hit the electrical lines leading to the house. Mr.

Culver said this morning that the bolt, which hit at the end of the storm, did only minor damage to the wiring, but started a small fire in the wall of an up stairs bedroom. He praised the quick, efficient action of the firemen in stopping the flames before they could gam any headway. The damage was in sured, he said. IN THE Riverton area, it was reported that the windshield of the car of Wilson Bradley was broken by the hail in the storm. The effects of the hail seemed centered about Salisbury with areas in Dorchester County, Dela ware, and in the northern part of the Virginia Eastern Shore receiv ing only a light rain.

Crops in the Upper Dorchester area were freshened by two to three inches that fell there. A spokesman in Accomack County, said they had no hail and the light rain didn't start there until about midnight. The storm did bring a break in yesterday's sweltering heat over the entire Delmarva area, however. A spokesman at the water works in the Municipal Park in Salisbury reported the mercury dropped from a high of 93 yesterday after noon to 60 during the early mor ning hours today. Man Is Fined $100 Here As 'Peeping Tom' A Delmar father of three chil dren was found guilty in Peoples Court yesterday on a charge of trespassing, brought after a com plaint that he was a "peeping torn." Nelson Smith about 30, was fined $100 by Judge Fanny B.

Mur phy. Keith Abbott, also of Del mar, testified that Smith was peeping in the window of their home Thursday night. When he went outside to see who it was, Abbott said, he found Smith near the garage. Smith pleaded guilty to the charge. He was in court yesterday with his wife and three small children.

Continued From Page One STRIKE Authorities previously have said strikes would be tolerated as long as they don't turn into demonstra tions. Police used tear gas to break up a clash of strikers and non- strikers at the main city depot Workers were told by the gov ernment Sunday they would get a 50 Der cent pay raise Oct. 1. But they were told at the same time that their only hope of pay boosts would come through extra state revenue expected from a 15 per cent hike in vodka prices. The strike came in answer to the vod ka price-wage boost tie.

The workers sent delegations to Warsaw last June demanding higher pay. Their wages now av erage 1,050 zlotys a month. Lower paid workers get as little as 700 zlotys monthly. (The Communist government has pegged the zloty at 25 cents American currency, but such rates are often meaningless in ac tual exchange. A poor quality raincoat, for example, costs 2,500 zlotys.

Continued From Page One SWITCH he had chased the car, Friday, from the Mardela traffic light on Route 50 to the intersection with the Ghostlight Road near Hebron He said that Donahue was driv ing the car at speeds of 80 to 85 miles per hour. THE CAR stopped in the road when the officer signalled the driv er to stop, he said. Burkhardt said he could not get in behind it and had to pull in front.

The 1954 model car had an au tomatic transmission. Trooper Burkhardt surmised that the car was knocked in gear and the ac celerator accidentally hit while the two men were changing seats, Thompson said he did not know who was actually under the wheel when the car shot forward hitting Burkhardt. "I don't believe it was inten tional," Burkhardt said. Judge Murphy imposed the six- month sentence on Donahue on the charge of driving while his license is refused. She fined him $200 on the speeding charge and set bond on both charges at $1 000.

The highway, which was con structed in 1933, has a sharp curve in the vicinity of the two businesses. A yellow line on the curb indicates no parking, but en forcement has been non-existant for people who stop briefly to go into either of the two businesses At least one councilman was on the side of Mr. Harrison and Mr. Hitch. "After 22 years, we suddenly say 'no parking', Councilman L.

Thomas Parker Jr. argued. "It is not fair. We ought to give them some time to find parking room for their customers." HOWEVER, there was another side of the question. "Are we going to jeopardize traf fic or business?" Jeremiah Val- liant, president of the council, wanted to know.

Philip C. Cooper, city engineer. said that it wasn't the parking it self that constituted a danger, but tendency of traffic to swing wide around parked cars. Councilman Harry O. FullbrooK suggested that no parking on the whole S.

ARLINGTON. Va A 14-year- old boy who said he felt it his duty "to help solve the integra tion problem by breaking the ice" has become the second Negro to aDDlv for admission to a white Arlington County school. George Tyrone Nelson, son of Pvt. George M. Nelson Jr.

of the Washington police force, applied for transfer to Stratford Junior High School, about one-half mile from his home. Last year he com pleted the. eighth grade at Hoff man-Boston school for Negroes He said yesterday he took the action because he felt it was his duty "to help solve the integra tion problem by breaking the ice and making it easier for the cnu- dren who follow." Last week another Hoffman Boston pupil, 15-year-old Sadie H. Phillips, applied for a transfer to Arlington's white Washington Lee High School. Her parents said the main reason for the request was that the white school is much closer to her home.

The State Pupil Placement Board is to act on Arlington County pupil placement applica tions at Richmond Aug. 29. County school officials have decided to make no recommendation on transfer requests. Rites Held For Accident Victim CAMBRIDGE Funeral serv ices were held yesterday from the Thomas Funeral Home here for Ralph Lester Cooke, 27, who was killed last Saturday miles north of Hurlock, on Rt. 307, when the car he was driving overturned The Rev.

and Dave Beck Jr. attended a party at which Mrs. Robert F. Kennedy, wife of the chief counsel of the U.S. Senate Rackets Committee, was guest of honor.

Public Health Service and City Health Department doctors examined the passengers after boarding the ship at quarantine on Staten island. A Health Department spokes man said flu is not a quarantin able disease. He said there is no intention of halting the entry of the Arosa Sky because the depart ment feels that those stricken with the disease can be isolated and treated in hospitals if neces sary.

More than 100 beds have been set aside in isolation wards in Manhattan's Bcllevue Hospital and in Queen General and Elm-hurst General hospitals in Queens There was no information as to whether or not three exchange students bound for the Delmarva Peninsula were among those on the Arosa Sky's sick list.

The Stamford Advocate said Mrs. Skakel identified all the persons in the picture and the identities were later substantiated by Skakel in a phone call to his New York City office. The Advocate, however, did not print the picture. The Herald Tribune said later that it checked with Skakel at his New York City office and, although he would not answer questions in person, he denied through his secretary, Bernard Kenny, that the Becks attended the party, after it was pointed out that Dave Beck Jr. was not known to be married.

The Herald Tribune quoted Mrs Skakel as saying at her home: "It (the gag) was started by one of my weekend guests from Delaware and we all went along with the gag.

Without rain the nutrients don't reach the bay.
