EIGHTY-FIRST YEAR Probe Report Airport Agitation Is Work Of Only One Supervisor 3 REPUBLICANS, 2 atta DEMOS COMPRISE AUTHORITY The Carbon Airport Authority today was reported checking indicatioins that the election eve agitation against to the projected airport site is the work of a single Mahoning Township supervisor, not a joint action olf the entire threemember board. There are reports thialt Mrs. Gladys Bausman, the supervisor in question, was acting alone, though communications to the County Commissioners regarding the airport project appeared on the official stationery of the Mahoning Board of Supervisors, This development came to light as the Airport Authority was preparing to convene a public forum on the entire project, scheduled for 3:30 m. today at the Lehighton American Legion. A.

member of the authority explanned the afternoon hour was seleeted in order to secure air time on radio stations WUSH and WYNS so that the airport story could be brought to the radio audience. It was explained the two stations go off the air between 5 and 6 p. making it impossible to hold an evening meeting. A spokesman for the authority said it was most unfortunate that the airport has been made an issue in Tuesday's election. Darier this week the Authority, in its announcement of the hearing stated it was being called cause of "misinformation and inferences in Republican radio vertisements." Since that announcement, one of the members revealed that three of the members of the Authority are registered Republicans and two are Democrats.

Political affiliation wais not considered in the least degree when the commissionens selected the Authority members. "The Authority members were selected for their knowledge of airport operations, and business acument. It was not until these radio advertisements were broadcast that the political inclination of each member was Dr. Dougherty Named To State Agency Board Announcement was made today by Herbert R.

JIM Water Main Break Floods 10 West Broadway Homes Recreation For All Under The Project 70 Plan The Commonweaith today operates 73 state parks and 48 state forest picnic areas.

These public recreation area's are located on 1,900,000 acres of state owned forest and recreation land. Another 960,000 acres are set aside as state game lands and 14,600 acres more are held as public fishing sites. This is a vast acreage of public lands more than 10 per cent of the entire area of the state but administrators of the state's park system consider it lacking in two respects. Many of the approximately 000 acres devoted to state parks are not located where they can serve conveniently the major population centers, and the 73 state parks vary greatly in their adequacy. Last year, over 25,000,000 people visited these recreation areas.

Many had a fine experience many others found the crowds more than the facilities could handle and still be fun. "Project 70," an ambitious overall plan for recreational development and best use of Pennsylvania's outdoor resources, was initiated by former Governor Lawrence, has the backing of the Scranton administration, and widespread bipartisan support. In fact, both the Republican and Democratic State Committees have endorsed the program. Pennsylvania voters, on Novem.ber 5, will be asked to amend the Commonwealth's constitution to authorize issuing of $70 million in bonds to aid in carrying out the program. "Project of 70" to proposes, create by a three target date 1970, great federal parks in Pennsylvania, provide a "green belt" of regional parks around highly urbanized areas, and develop a new American vacationland in Pennsylvania's tourist destination counties.

This plan lays the foundation for a mammoth new tourist industry in Pennsylvania. It also provides for the conservation and development of the Commonwealth's scenic natural beauty. The Federal parks and many of the reservoirs will be financed by Congress through regular Federal appropriations. The state bond issue will be used to acquire additional new lands (Can't On Page Five) Nesquehoning Man Held For Motor Charge (Russell G.

Political Front Kistler Charges Niehoff Lauds Democrats With Service Of Demo Masquerading Commissioners Allen D. Kistler, Carbon County's Republican controller, last night called on the county's Democratic commissioners to "take their masks off" and let themselves be seen and known to the county ers for what they really and truly are.

Dougherty have accomplished their jobs in spite of obstacles thrown in their way by the minority commissioner, Ralph Mooney and Controller Allen Kistler. "The Democratic commissioners have exercised good judgment in conducting the affairs of the county during the past four years," he said.

A military revolt broke out today against the government of South Viet Nam. There are unconfirmed reports that, President Diem has been disposed and that his brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, a powerful figure in the government, has been killed. Neither report can be ed. But it is clear that the Diem regime is facing its strongest challenge since it came to power. Details of the revolt are confused and sketchy.

But this much appears clear. The rebels are in control of Radio Saigon, in the Vietnamese capital. They may hold other areas as well. A broadcast indicated the revolt was led by 14 Marine and Army generals and colonels. One rebel broadcast said President Diem and his brother had been given an ultimatum to surrender or be killed.

The United States has ordered forces to move in the direction of South Viet Nam to protect American lives, if necessary. The Pentagon said this is a precautionary move and does not mean that American forces are taking any part in the situation in South Viet Nam. President Kennedy was awakened early this morning with first reI ports of the revolt. Several hours later, he met in urgent conference with top military and diplomatic advisors. In Boston, Mrs.

Nhu's father the former Vietnamese ambassador to the United States said if the report is true that Mrs. Nhu's husband has been killed he will try to isee his daughter. Several times during her visit to this country, Mrs. Nhu has tried to see her father but she was refused. On Capitol HillThe Senate Democratic leader, Mike Mansfield, said the uprising against the Diem government calls for re-assessment and appraisal of American policy in South Viet Nam and in all of Southeast Asia.

In Los Angeles, Mrs. Nhu said if the news is true about the military coup in her country it would be a "great shame" for many Americans. Mrs. Nhu said: "We all know that many Americans had waited for this for a long time." In New York a Vietnamese exile a former official in Saigon said he was informed that a new government being formed in his country plans to demand that the United States send Mrs. Nhu back to Viet Nam for trial.

At the United Nations, a Vietnamese source said the ex-ambassador Tran Van Chuong will announce, later today, that he and a shadow cabinet are ready to take over in South Viet Nam if called upon to do so. The ambassador resigned his post several weeks ago in protest against his government's treatment of Buddhists.
