Two-State Study Ready to Start On Creek Flood WASHINGTON (UPD 'West Virginia and Pennsylvania officials said Wednesday both states were ready to begin studies of a proposed flood control project on Big Wheeling Creek. The announcement came at a meeting of- state, local and federal officials who pledged to co- operale in an attempt to accelerate the building of a watershed on the oreek to reduce flood dangers in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Officials of both states told Charles Tnlenfeld, chairman of the Wheeling Citizens Committee, that they would begin a feasibility study on where to locale a dam or series of dams. Ihlenfeld said Ihere are 190,000 acres in Marshall and Ohio counties on the West Virginia side of the creek and in the Pennsylvania counties of Washington and Greene which could be converted for "watershed use. a Sockman, assistant Pennsylvania conservationist, said he hoped his state would have a report on a feasibility study by late summer.

West Virginia conservationist John P. KuykendaH said it did not appear that either state would have the money to conduct a thorough study until July- 1. Army engineers, who also al- iended the meeting, pointed oul that they had turned down a similar project for failing to meet federal requirements but said they would be willing to consider the decision.

Webb said Wednesday his department will move, to close a loophole in its personnel policy which permits maintenance workers to take unannounced one-day vacations. Webb's statement came in the wake of a series of one-day "vacations" by hundreds of maintenance workers last week in protest, against the department's 10 per cent work force reduction. The acting secretary met with Tony Fiorello, executive director of the Pennsylvania State Em- ployes Council, AFL-CIO, to discuss the cutbacks, which affected over 1,000 men.

Fiorello emerged from the 45- minute session calling it a "good beginning." The union leader also said he had received reports of additional firings from Potter and Mifflin But Webb said no further dismissal orders had been issued from Harrisburg. Webb and Fiorello said they would confer again with governor's office aides to discuss the union demands at a top-level Commonwealth employment policy meeting. Webb defended the personnel reduction as necessary due to lack of funds. He estimated the move would save'the state $4 million annually. "The (maintenance) force is now better balanced between districts," Webb said, adding that would compensate for the manpower loss.

Fiorello said he asked Webb lo review the past firings, consult with him on any future dismissals and codify the firing procedure. He said he. also asked the acting secretary that "special consideration" be given to workers near retirement age. Snowfall Blankets Area; Spring Here Continued From Page One across much of the land.

Expect Martinez To Quit After Ballot Plan Fuss BUENOS AIRES (UPI) -Informed sources predicted today Interior Minister Rodolfo Martinez will resign soon as a result of mounting tension generated by his plans for the coming elections. The balloting plan prepared by Martinez appeared to satisfy neither of Argentina's major powers --the armed forces and the militant supporters of ousted ex-president Juan D. Peron. tension was increased by the government's order Wednesday for the arrest of Andres Frami- ni, a powerful labor and Peron- ist leader, on charges of plotting to overthrow the government.

At latest reports, Framini was still at large. Peronists More Active The Peronists have become more openly active since a federal court recently granted their Popular Union Party partial political recognition. The court ac- tioa aroused resentment among the strongly anti-Peronist armed forces. There were fears last week of a possible coup by naval leaders to block any Peronist comeback. The Peronists were encouraged by reports that Peron's excommunication from the Roman Catholic Church has been lifted.

Peron has been living in exile in Spain, and there have been rumors he might try to return to Argentina. Refuses Second Spot Miguel A. Zavala Ortiz, an attorney passed over as a presidential candidate by i own party, refused Wednesday night to accept'the No. 2 spot on an election ticket which he charged was being "imposed" by the government. Zavala's letter, rejecting what he described as a bid from Martinez, did not say who was to head the proposed slate.

There was immediate speculation, however, that it would, be Maj. Gen. Juan C. Oiigania, now commander of the army. Judge May Grant Five New Trial On Kidnap Charge READING.

William Jackson Jarman, chairman of the consultation study committee on worship, said that until a way can be found to a unified worship service "there will be no Christian unity." "Unity in worship is the ultimate achievement of church unity," Dr. Jarman said. He also is president of the council on Christian unity of the Disciples of Christ Church. The Rev. Dr.

Massey H. Shepherd, professor of liturgy at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific at Berkeley, said the chief obstacle is the reluctance of the laity to give up familiar forms of worship. "Sudden changes in the external habits of worship, or the juxtaposition of unfamiliar with familiar modes of expression, are disruptive to piety and are therefore warmly resented," he said. Cites Oihtr Barriers He also cited other barriers-to unity, such as: --Some requiring fixed forms of worship in all regular services and others not. --The lack of a commonly accepted definition of terms.

There are none at present having wide enough acceptance to serve as a basis for dialogue between the world's major church bodies. --The use of sensory aids such as icons, images, lights, vestments and incense. --The custom of some Ameri- ccan Protestant and Anglican churches of directing Sunday worship toward cultural and social issues of contemporary world. --The vividness of externals, such as varied postures of reverence and prayer. Dr.

Shepherd said that "many supposedly doctrinal differences are, in actuality, imposed from without. They are not intrinsic to the texts of the liturgy themselves." Police May Have Part in Ambush Of Chicago Man By ROBERT T. LOUGHRAN United tress International CHICAGO 'UPP--Five former members of the scandal-ridden Summerdale Police District were called in for lie tests today in connection with the ambush shooting of, "babbling burglar" Richard Morrison. Police said all five of the men cleared the test. They were Sol and Alex Karras.

Alan Clement, Al Brim and Frank Faraci. Homicide Cmdr. Frank Flanna- galn said three other former Summerdale policemen, considered "secondary suspects." would be brought in for questioning. All eight were convicted of helping the pint-sized Morrison loot stores and businesses. Morrison was wounded in the arm by a shotgun blast outside the Cook County Criminal Court Building Wednesday.

The lie tests were conducted as Chicago's police, who had hoped they were "clean," searched the underworld and their own ranks for Morrison's assailants. Roswell T. Spencer, chief investigator for the state's attorney's office and last year's Democratic candidate for sheriff, laid it on the line when he said: "It's logical to assume there is a connection between the shooting and the scandal incident that Morrison broke." Teener Stakes Life On Disputed Drug In Cancer Battle ROCKFORD, 111. (UPI) Perky- Diane Undstrom is a normal high school coed in every respect but cne. Her soft smile and shy eyes hide the painful knowledge that she suffers from a malignant bone cancer of the right thigh.

She is staking her life on the controversial cancer drug Kre- biozen. And one of the great battles of modern medicine whether Krebiozen is effective in the fight against cancer--may hinge on the outcome of Diane's struggle to walk without pain. Only one month ago, the pretty 18-year-old girl faced a terrifying decision either have her leg amputated or run the risk of never living to see her 23rd birthday. Two days before the scheduled amputation, the daughter of' a hospital visited the Lind- stroms. "She told us about Krebiozen." Mrs.

Lindstrom said. "We hadn't even thought about it. Oh, we'd heard about it, the controversy and all. The woman said she had faith in what it could do against cancer." Mrs. Lindstrom and her husband, Milton, went to Chicago to talk with Dr.

Made Underworld Enemies Veteran investigators with orders to "bring the culprit to justice" said Morrison had made enemies in the underworld, where "sqtiealing" is frowned upon. And they said there were probably ex- policemen--their careers blighted by his stories of burglars-in-blue-who would rather see Morrison dead than alive. Police guarded Morrison's room in Cook County hospital where he underwent surgery on his arm.

Morrison was gunned from a slow moving car late Wednesday as he and another informer, Jerry Bossuyt, walked away from the steps of the criminal courts building. The shooting came less than two weeks bftfore Chicago's mayoralty election and only three weeks after Alderman Benjamin F.

told the speaker he did "not find in evidence this session the same impartiality you evidenced last time as speaker." Helm last served as House leader in 1957. Fineman went on to accuse Helm of wielding "a quick gavel when a Democrat is speaking and strays from the topic, but not so quick a gavel when a Republican is talking." Replies to Charge Helm quickly retorted that hs used the gavel "when members transgress the rules and for no other reason" and added: "I'm feeling perfectly well despite comment being circulated that I'm not feeling well." Johnson defended Helm and then called for the confidence vote. Fineman, visibly angered, replied: "You're starting to touch some sore spots. A vole of confidence is not necessary from the Democrats. We have great respect for the speaker." He then turned to other Democrats and called for "every member of tha House who feels the vole an insult lo leave the floor of the House."
