Both were members of the Association and both died Monday morning. All of McCorry's law practice had been in Jackson and Appleby began practicing here before moving to Lexington more than 30 years ago.

Circuit Judge Andrew T. Tay lor described McCorry, former General Sessions judge and member of a pioneer Jackson family, as a man who would "go out of his way to help a friend. He loved children and I have never known anyone more accommodating," Taylor said. Attorney Joe C. Davis of Lexington, long-time friend of Appleby, remembered him as a "high-type Christian, a citizen willing to do his part, and a lawyer of the highest integrity." Appeals Court Judge J.

B. Avery recalled the "cheerfulness and kindness" of both men, and Attorney Roy Hall said they "exemplified good lawyers and men who enjoyed living." Bar Association President E. J. (Dick) Nunn appointed committees to prepare messages for both men's widows, emphasizing the "love, affection and esteem" with which they are remembered. Judge Taylor announced that today's session of Circuit Court would recess at noon out of respect for Judge McCorry's memory.

Court will be resumed Thursday morning. Hospital May Seek Picket Injunction YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) An official of Cafaro Memorial Hospital says a court order may be sought to limit picketing which has interfered with deliveries of food, oxygen and drugs to the hospital. Mrs. Florence Marsteller, hospital administrator, said strikers and sympathizers picketing the hospital three times! turned back oxygen deliveries! by truck and barred one food truck and one parcel delivery of drugs Tuesday. She said some of the picketers were not hospital employes.

Members of Local 47, Service and Maintenance Employes, struck for recognition. One-tenth of the hospital's 200 employes, including nurses and maintenance personnel, are picketing. Hospital employes crossed the picket lines to get the drugs. They also went out in their own cars to bring food for patients and staff. Mrs.

Marsteller said the hospital has only enough oxygen for today. She said she hoped the truck drivers would cross picket lines to deliver oxygen, but added, "We will get oxygen." She declined to elaborate. A member of the Youngstown Osteopathic Hospital Associa tion, which operates the hospital, said a union spokesman told him today that if hospital employes attempt to bring in sup plies "they 11 have trouble."

Vester, W.M. T. II. Davidson, Seer. BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) Deputy Premier Praphas Charusathien said today that the Thai government has not taken- a final decision to send combat troops to South Viet nam.

Praphas told his weekly news conference his government may decide to send fighters to South Vietnam "today, tomorrow or next month, but at this moment the decision has not been taken yet." He added that the National Security Council is now considering the matter and is taking into account the Communist threat to Thailand before reaching a decision. Praphas is deputy chairman of the council and commander in chief of the Thai armv. The government controlled Bangkok radio said Tuesday that Thailand would send about 1,000 combat troops to South Vietnam. The text of the commentary was published in local papers toaay wnn auumui.a comments attributed to Thai officials incorporated in it. Pentagon Denies Story In Times WASHINGTON (AP) The Pentagon has officially denied that U.S.

planes deliberately bombed civilian areas of Nam Dinh, North Vietnam's third largest city. The statement was contained in a Defense Department letter to Rep. Ogden R. Reid, that amounts to an official re buttal of some portions of a New York Times dispatch about U.S. bombing of the city.

Dated Dec. 30 and made puD- lic Tuesday night, the letter was siened bv Phil G. Goulding, dep uty assistant secretary ot defense for public affairs. It came in response to Reid's request tor a restatement of U.S. policy on bombing and targeting in North Vietnam in light of recent Times' dispatches reporting widespread civilian deaths and damage.

Harrison E. Salisbury, a Times' assistant managing edi tor, said in one dispatch from Hanoi last week that U.S. planes have systematically- attacked nonmilitary targets including a textile plant and dikes in Nam Dinh, killing 89 persons. He add ed: "No American communique has asserted that Nam Dinh contains some facility that the United States regards as a military objective." Navy Pilots (Continued from Page 1) ing areas and roads in the southern panhandle. Only one Communist MIG21 ventured forth during Tuesday's forays, a U.

S. spokesman said. He said the MIG "scooted away" when a flight of F4 Phantom jets closed in and there was no contact. The spokesman disclosed that one of the Phantom fighters involved in Monday's big air bat tle sustained light damage. Pre viously, U.

S. officials an nounced that all the U. S. planes escaped unscathed when they shot down seven MI21s for the biggest single day's bag of the war. The spokesman said one of the more than 50 Phantoms the Monday battle flew through fragments of a disintegrating M-I and sustained minor damage but made it safely back to base.

In air action over South Vietnam Tuesday, U. S. pilots flew 288 strike sorties and South Vietnamese pilots flew 78. On the ground, South Vietnamese military headquarters said government troops killed 32 Viet Cong in four separate actions, two of them in the Mekong Delta and the other two within 38 miles of Saigon.

All were released Tuesday night in recognizance bonds of $100. Masferrer, an athletic 45, criticized the United States for "protecting Fidel Castro" by arresting him and his band at a Florida keys rendezvous where federal agents said the expedi tion was preparing to embark. One of the group's officers, Anton Constanzo, said at Miami that he eluded arrest and hitchhiked home.

Constanzo said the expedition had planned to land at Port Au Prince, Haitian capital, join forces with 20 comrades in the Negro island republic, and overthrow Haitian President Francois Duvalier's government with the help of native malcontents. Then- the island would be used as a base to make war on Castro, whose territory lies only 50 miles west across the Windward Passage. Constanzo said Masferrer was confident he could forge a Cuba invasion army within a month. The Rev. Jean Baptiste Georges, a Haitian priest and once education minister under Duvalier, was to be installed as president.

He was among those rounded up. Another was the group's only woman member, identified as Auria Poggio and described by exiles as the expedition's auartermaster. The raid was made on Cocoa Plum Island, near Marathon, when agents saw a 55-foot shrimp boat being loaded late Monday night. They surrounded the island's only house and exiles came boiling out like ants from a kicked-over hill, cursing the raiders. "Why do you stop us?" one demanded.

Jack Ruby said that his pres ence at the Dallas County jail resulted from his making an "illegal turn" behind a bus and winding up in the jail parking lot.

Kennedy's accused assassin. He will be buried beside his parents.

The plane carrying Ruby's body landed at O'Hare International Airport shortly after midnight after a flight from Dallas, where he died Tuesday at Parkland Memorial Hospital the same hospital in which Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald died. His death from a blood clot in the lungs forever clouded the international doubts surrounding the assassination of Presi dent Kennedy. Until the end, Ruby insisted he acted alone in fatally shooting Oswald. Ruby, 55, had extensive can-j cer, but Dr. Earl Rose, the Dal-ilas County medical examiner, za.

The four major U.S. producers and many foreign manufacturers notified the Commerce Department Tuesday of their inability to meet all 23 safety standards proposed for next year's cars. They indicated some could be met immediately, but requested a modification of some proposals and a delay in putting others into effect to allow for design and production changes.

Dr. William Haddon administrator of the National Highway Safety Agency, with held -judgment on the thousands of pages of comments he re ceived from manufacturers and suppliers. But there already were indi cations the differences would be negotiated. Haddon said it will take two weeks just to evaluate the in dustry comments. He said he won't know until that time whether negotiations will be held on possible modification of the 23 proposed standards.

Under law, his agency must publish by Jan. 31 its final standards for '68 model cars, a time schedule Haddon said he intends to keep. But the administrator already has voiced a willingness to mod- Mrs. Mary Adcock Rifes Thursday HUMBOLDT, Tenn. Services for Mrs.

The Royal Marriages Act of 1772 was denounced on all sides as a museum piece of royal spite. It was brought to public attention again by the Earl of Harewood's announcement Monday that he is being di vorced for adultery and wants to marry a former model who bore him a son 2Vz years ago. The 43-year-old girl is 18th in line of succession to the throne.

His 40-year-old wife is expected to bring her divorce petition before the courts next month. Under the ancient act, all members of the royal family descended from George II must have the monarch's permission- to wed. This means that, techni cally at least, Harewood must seek the queen's consent before marrying Patricia Tuckwell, a 39-year-old divorcee from Australia. As head of the Church of Eng land, which opposes the remarriage of anyone whose partner is living, the queen would face clerical pressure to refuse her consent. The Conservative Daily Mail, the Laborite Sun and the Evening Standard, a Beaverbrook newspaper which takes an independent line, all urged repeal of the 195-year-old act.

So did Cyril Hankinson, former editor of De-Brett's Peerage. Calling the act a "frowsty piece of legislation pushed through Parliament by George HI," Hankmson said the king who later went mad after England lost her American colonies "was furious at secret marriages made by his brothers, the dukes of Cumberland and Gloucester, to commoners. "Most people today think that the royal family should have the same rights as the queen's other subjects when it comes to a personal matter like marriage." Mrs. Mary Jacobs Rifes Thursday MEDINA, Tenn. Mrs.

Mary Jacobs, 60, died early today at the Jackson-Madison County General Hospital after an illness of several weeks. Mrs. Jacobs was born and reared in Paragould, daughter of John T. Hyde and Mrs. Dora Croft Hyde.

Boyd, under secretary of commerce for transportation, has said the department doesn't plan to be hard-headed about its proposals. The domestic manufacturers asked Tuesday for a meeting with Haddon. They will likely get it since it has been the agency's policy to keep an open door. Sen. Philip A.

Hart, met with Haddon in Washington last week and later said he was satisfied the administrator was aware when he issued the 23 standards that "some of them would, when viewed by the manufacturers and then their reactions given to him, require some modification." King Is Sentenced In Embezzlement Former Jacksonian Bobby King was sentenced to three years imprisonment today on his plea of guilty to embezzling $1,353.59 from Boone Loeb Corp. here last summer. Circuit Court Judge Andrew T. Taylor indicated, however, that the sentence would possibly be suspended pending a probation officer report. It was disclosed that King has been re-employed by the Mem phis-based firm in Memphis and is making restitution of the embezzled funds.
