Speaking on "Building of the Temple at Jerusalem by Solomon," Rev. Mr. Havens said God is revealed in man himself. He gave illustrations of men hanging many, threads of life that mean nothing and of of other men whose lives show great virtues. In the world as it is today, he said, we may not realize it, but there are too many men who know too much about the atom and not about God.

Spiritually speaking, he declared, we need men to build temples and dedicate them to God, to His glory and to the uplifting of the universe, and not to destroy. Rev.

Stapinski said, "that she had been struck by a sharp or bladed instrument and also by a blunt instrument. The fatal wound was caused by a blunt instrument. Since it is common knowledge the ordinary hatchet has two ends, a blade and a hammer end, it was reasonable to conclude the murder weapon was a hatchet. This simple fact concerning the two ends of a hatchet was apparently overlooked by some people who were not present at the investigation, but who. like to theorize about such tragedies.

"The public is familiar with the evidence found at the scene, since the daily papers carried complete accounts of the facts. If anyone who was officially a part of the investigation called it an accidental or natural death in order to stop the investigation, he would himself be guilty of a crime, in fact, he could be considered an accessory -after the fact. "All of the investigating officers were aware difficulty solving such a case, but. they did not hesitate to accept the responsibility. "If there were any legitimate reasons for calling this a natural or accidental death everyone involved would have been very happy.

Instead we were compelled by the evidence to call it murder and every enforcement officer present concurred. It is most unfortunate that the case is unsolved, but that in itself is no reason for alarm. There are almost 400,000 people in the county, an amount comparable to many large cities and counties throughout nation. To fully understand the situation, one should obtain from areas of Hatchet Was Used to Slay Mrs. Rita Serhan, Reports County Coroner Stapinski Simple Fact an Instrument With Blunt And Sharp Ends Was Used in Murder Held Overlooked by Those Not on Investigation.

A hatchet was used to murder Mrs. Rita Serhan, Stanton Dr. Stanley Stapinski, said Man Dies After Moving Snow Joseph Villani Heart Victim While taking a walk in the neighborhood after cleaning snow from the sidewalk in front of his home, Joseph Villani of 148 Nicholson Street, Wilkes-Barre Township, was stricken with a heart attack yesterday at 2 p. m. and succumbed almost instantly.

Victim collapsed to the ground one block from his home when stricken with the seizure. Dr. Monroe O. Blake, deputy coroner, was summoned' and pronounced Villani dead at the scene. WilkesBarre Township ambulance was called, but was not needed.

Born in Foggia, Italy, Mr. Villani resided in Wilkes-Barre most of his life before moving to Wilkes-Barre Township seven years ago. He was formerly employed for many years at Woodward Colliery, Glen Alden Corporation, and was a member of Woodward Local, UMW. Surviving are his wife, the former Olympia Benedetti; son, Anthony, Rochester, N. daughter, Mrs.

Jerry A. Divisek of Berwyn, the former Vickie Villani, a well known entertainer, and a stepson, Cesar Benedetti, California. Funeral will be held Monday morning at from the funeral home, 141 Park Avenue. Friends may call Saturday and Sunday 2 to 4 and 7 to 10. Tracey's Paint Sued Proctor, Paint Woodworth Varnish Avenue, ComYonkers, N.

started suit at the courthouse yesterday to recover $4,069.80 from Frank and Blanche Tracey, trading South as Tracey's Paint Center, 438 Main Street, Complaint, filed by Attorney William J. Fahey of Fahey Casper, alleges the amount is owed for merchandise. Interest is asked from July 3, 1957. equal population the number of murders committed over a 10- year period and the number unsolved. From these figures the percentage in each area could be computed and compared.

"Perhaps television programs are taken too seriously by some of the viewers. Real life criminal detection is a far cry from the exciting half-hour solutions of crime depicted on the picture tube. "Luzerne County is fortunate that its law enforcement officers on the State, county and municipal level are willing to accept responsibility, work hard, and not be dismayed by a failure over which they have no control. "Frankly, the public should not only consider the criticism which is leveled at a public figure or organization, but they should also consider whether the criticism is constructive or prompted by some personal motive. "We in the Coroner's Office are aware of the fine work done by the municipal police and District Attorney's Office and are thankful that they are so conscientious.

All of these agencies are continuing investigation of the aforementioned case and will never cease regardless of what disappointments they may incur." The report, prepared by Attorney Robert Ronky, chief deputy coroner, was released yesterday afternoon. It notes investigative deaths for the year just ended exceeded the number for 1956 by more than 100. Dr. Stapinski and Attorney Ronky stated jointly: "In 1957 the Coroner's Office (See CORONER en Back Page) Women Voters' Leagues Ask Juveniles' Detention Home Prison Board, County Commissioners Are Bid to Provide Separate Facility Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton joined in an appeal to Luzerne commissioners to provide a separate The appeal was sent since the escape of Detentions from the County Home for Women New Year's night, according to a letter to this newspaper over the signatures of Mrs. Margaret T.

Butler, chairof the Hazleton group, and Mrs. man C. W. Bigelow, secretary of the Wilkes-Barre league. The communication indicated a previous appeal was made to the prison board to provide separate place of detention for juveniles so that young people do not come into contact with committed or adult prisoners." The letter adds: "Both Leagues of Women Leagues of Women Voters have County Prison Board and county detention home for juveniles, Voters are gravely concerned at the danger presented by the present situation and the tragedy that could easily occur but fortunately did not happen this time.

"The size of such separate detention place could be modest as the number of girls in detention at one time is never great. The Leagues of Women Voters, and other organizations, are not requesting an elaborate or expensive institution. A separate place of detention for juveniles need cost the county very little. It is, however, a present and imperative of of Garment Makers to Petition NLRB to Define Bargaining Unit Attorney Israel T. Klapper, counsel for Pennsylvania Garment Manufacturers Association, disclosed last night he and Associate Counsel Max Rosenn, Wilkes-Barre, have been directed to file appropriate proIceedings with National Labor Relations Board Regional Office today seeking a legal determination of the collective bargaining agency in the industry and Proper representative of the employes of the association with whom the group would be authorized to bargain.

Action stems from failure of representatives of International Ladies Garment Workers' Union and Pennsylvania Dress Manufacturers' Association to start negotiations for a new contract for workers of 300 member firms of Pennsylvania Garment Manufacturers Association. Bargaining conference was held in Allenon Tuesday. The delay is attributed to.refusal of Northeast Department, International Ladies Garment Workers' Union, to negotiate a pact for the dress firms except through the conferences being held in New York City with New York Dress Joint Board of the union. The union insists the employers negotiate onjan industrywide basis in New York City. The union invited Abraham Glassberg of Hazleton, operator of Clover Dress Company in Wilkes-Barre, and president of PGMA, and his negotiating committee to go to New York and negotiate with rest of the indus- for his members.

As far as could be learned Glassberg has refused the bid. The ILGWU in Wilkes-Barre District embraces Nanticoke, Plymouth, Pittston and has about 9,000 members. More than 50 per cent are employed by members of the association and are affected by the negotiations, Meantime, the plants are continuing to work pending the expiration of the contracts January 31. It is reported the industry in New York has agreed an extension of the contract to February 28. In statement released by the PGMA to ILGWU at this week's bargaining It was 'emphasized: "The working conditions of our employes and future of the industry is of tremendous importance to the parties and to the public, that is to say communities wherein our plants are located.

"We approach these deliberations with a full realization the contract to be arrived at must be fair and equitable to the workers and to the employers; be realistic in its aims and achievements in order that the industry may continue to and prosper in Pennsylgrow Ivania.
