A son was born to Mrs. Ray Rubino in an elementary school shelter at Angleton Monday night.

The delivery was made under the beam of a flashlight py three nurses without a doctor's help. Both were doing fine. At LaMarque, two babies were born in the Galveston County Hospital while the city was isolated from the outside world. Mrs. Stephen Dupuis, 20, of Port Arthur, gave birth to a boy after she was taken from a refugee shelter to a hospital at Huntsville.

Settle Quickly Issue Leading to Auto Strike DETROIT () The issue that triggered a snowballing plant-by-plant strike against General Motors Corp. by the United Auto Union was settled overnight. When agreement came, 91 GM plants were shut across the nation and 253,199 men were idle with indications that the remainder of GM's 129 plants and 350,000 production work ers would be idled in a matter of days, if not hours. A revised company check reported 90 plants shut by UAW walkouts and one by a walkout of International Union of Electrical Workers members at Warren, Ohio. The IUE and GM currently are working on local-level issues in contract negotiations.

In Janesville, Wis. pickets manned the gates of General Motors' Chevrolet and Fisher Body plants today while some 4,000 United Auto Workers members at the two plants remained off the job in a strike over local issues. Negotiators for the Fisher Body Division and Local 95 met again this morning, as the UAW opened strike headquarters with a coffee urn and card tables for strikers awaiting picket assignments. Unofficially, a major local issue involves an alleged 10 cent hourly difference between Janesville scales and those in Detroit The No. 1 issue on which local-level strikes started erupt ing Monday was the amount of relief time afforded assembly and production line workers.

A judge sentenced the Nobel prize winner to two months a me ena or a neanng in me Bow St. magistrates court, but reduced the sentence to a week when shown a medical report indicating that the longer term would be too much of a hardship for the frail peer. Seven of his fellow campaigners were sentenced to a month in jail, and another to two months. Wife Sentenced All were members of an anti- nuclear organization called the Committee of 100. Russell, his wife and 35 others were charged with "inciting members of the public; to commit a breach of the peace next Sun-day." Lady Russell also was sentenced to prison for seven days when the court was told she too was in no physical condition to go to jail for a long term.

She is some three decades younger than her husband. Cries of "shame," "fascists" and "poor, old man" were heard in the court as Judge Bertram Reece told Earl Russell he would have to go to prison. Knew in Advance The anti-nuclear campaigners knew in advance that unless they promised to behave they were subject to jail. Police said the organizers had planned to swamp the cen ter of London next Sunday with 10,000 demonstrators. It was their intention to sit in the streets, blocking traffic and forcing the police to carry them off bodily.

BERTRAND RUSSELL Anti-Nuclear Crusader Talk to BERLIN UP) In a note assailing Western troop movements to Berlin, the Soviet Union has told the West that the Communist East German regime has the right to regulate foreign tarvel to East Berlin. Rejecting an Aug. 26 note from the U. British and French ambassadors to West Germany protesting the sealing of the border in divided' Berlin, the Russians told the ambassadors Monday to take their complaints, to the East German regime. One major aim of Premier Khrushchev's pressure on Berlin is to force Western recognition of East Germany.

The Western powers regard the East German regime as a Soviet puppet. "Revenge Seekers" Mikhail Pervukhin, Soviet' ambassador to East Germany, complained in his note that the Western powers had brought troop reinforcements to Berlin and had posted soldiers on "West Berlin's border. Pervukhin declared such troop movements could encourage "West Berlin's fascist and revenge-seeking elements" and this could result in serious consequences. Foreigners now are admitted to East Berlin but Pervu-khin'i note raised the possibility they soon would be barred. Foreigners may cross into East Berlin on subway and elevated trains and may cross on foot and by car at a special gate at the corner of Friedrichstrasse and Zimmer-atrasse.

These surpluses have been used as general city revenues, rather than for building programs which, In the past, have been paid by issuing bonds.
