Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. for a close look at the SPURS IN HESS Legislators Expedite Trade, UN Bond and Reserves Bills TRANSIT MEASURE ihST IN SHIIFFI'F 111 WIIWI I hw By LARRY OSll'S WASHINGTON (AP) Con- gress, scenting adjournment this month, is picking up steam in its anve to get nome lor trie ian election campaigns. It shoved further along Friday three of President Kennedy's top proposals -the U.N bond issue, trade expansion and standby authority to call up Reserves. Another administration hill, calling for federal aid to traffic-clogged cities, apparently fell by the wayside.

Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana dangled the carrot of a Sept. 29 adjournment before the Senate, but noted it is up to the members to get the job done. No adjournment date was mentioned in the House, but that body cleared a major hurdle with passage of the U.N. bond issue bill on a 256-134 roll call vote. There was a possibility the Senate might agree to House amendments, meaning it could be sent to Kennedy next week.

The Senate Finance Committee approved the President's proposal for authority to slash and in some cases, wipe out tariffs reciprocally with other nations, particular- the booming European Com- jmon Market. Debate on the bill, psgsed fey the House fee; tne Senate on Monday The House Armed Services Committee gave unanimous ap proval to the President's request for standby authority to call up 130,000 Reserves. However, House Speaker John W. McCormack, said the Reserves call-up bill won't reach the House floor until Sept. 24, a week later than expected.

In what he acknowledged was a move to kill the President's proposal for $500 million in federal grants to help cities solve mass transit problems. Sen. Frank I Lausche, D-Ohio, won approval of 1 his motion to send the transpor- jtation bill to the Commerce Com- mittee. By agreement the measure must come out Sept. 24, but there seems little chance it will be debated in the late rush for adjournment.

I The U.N. bond bill was an- proved by 190 Democrats and 66 Republicans. Opposing it on the i lina' roll call were 46 Democrats and 88 Republicans. The major fight came over an amendment by Rep. John, W.

Byrnes, which would have up the loan until the United P-m!" umu wci i U.N. assessments are bind on all members. Supporters of the bill managed to beat down the Byrnes amendment, pointing out that the United Nations has adopted nine previous World Court opinions. 1 j( DV GARLAND RUSHED TO HOSPITAL IN NEVADA physican and business manager.

The request was presented to the supervisors at a meeting last night in the Farmers Merchants bank. It was laid before the township board by George T. Hartzell, Fayetteville area builder.

He was accompanied by 16 residents and property owners of the township. Hartzell said it was the thought of himself and the others that it would be valuable to have the Kohler estate water lines "in the hands of the people." Involved are the Fayetteville Water Company, the Font Hill Water Company and the Guilford Water Company. The three utilities, which serve the Fayetteville, Guilford Hills, Scotland. Greenvillage, Cul-bertson ana Mt. Rock areas, are for sale.

It is the hope of township residents, Hartzell added, that the supervisors authorize and actively support the study group. If the group reported favorably after its study, the proponents foresee the creation of a municipal authority to purchase the water lines and operate them for the township. The "beauty" of such an arrangement, Hartzell said, is that the taxpayers of the township would not be involved. Authority bonds which would be sold to provide funds for the purchase would be pledged against the assets and receipts of the water companies. "People not being served would have no financial burden upon them," Hartzell commented in noting that the indebtedness of the authority would be liquidated through water receipts.

A municipal authority set up to purchase and improve the water holdings would be eligible for loans and grants from the U. S. Housing Home Finance Agency. While no sale price has been placed on the Kohler utility holdings, Hartzell told the superisors last night that a recent study made for the estate by the Philadelphia engineering firm of Albright Friel, shows the three companies to have a depreciated replacement value of $1,510,000. Broken down, the depreciated replacement value of the individual companies as set by the engineers.

Guilford, Font Hill, Fayetteville, $165,000. The three companies currently serve 1,704 customers who paid slightly less than $15,000 in service charges during the second quarter of the current year. The Guilford company serves 883 customers, the Font Hill company 439 customers and Fayetteville, 382 customers. About 1.000 of the customers are metered. Minimum rates vary from $2 a quarter in Fayetteville.

to $4 50 a quarter in the Font Hill area to $2.50 a month in the Guilford area. A thousand and fifty of the customers of the three companies are located in Greene Township, 600 are in Guilford Township and 60 in Southampton Township.

Shelly Watson, 21, of 133 W. Liberty is being held in the Franklin County jail on charges of assault and robbery.

Police Chief J. Byers Schlichter said the charges were filed yesterday before Justice of the Peace John S. Gillan. Watson, who has denied the charges, was jailed for a hearing at a later date.

JOYNES MACFARLAX WASHINGTON (AP)-A government advisory committee is expected to recommend today whether Sabin oran polio vaccine should still be used in mass immunization programs. The advisory group was scheduled to meet here this morning. The Public Health Service said Surgeon General Luther L.

Terry would issue a statement this afternoon, after the closed meeting. The meeting, originally scheduled for Sept. 27, was moved up hurriedly after Canadian officials reported four cases of paralytic polio among the four million persons who received the Sabin live virus vaccine. The Canadian Federal Health Department recommended against further use of the vaccine pending a study. Meanwhile, some U.S.

communities were going ahead with their immunication programs. Others were calling a temporary halt. The developer of the vaccine, Dr. Albert B. Sabin, said the Canadian government was ill advised to discontinue the vaccine.

"What should be done is to intensify its use," he commented. The Cincinnati University researcher made the comments aboard the liner Queen Mary in a radio-telephone interview with The Associated Press. "What may have happened in Canada no different from what has happened in the United States and other countries during the outbreaks of the disease," said Sabin. "What happens is that people already infected are given the vaccine and this then affords no "The oral polio vaccine has been given safely to over 200 million people without a single case of polio being attributable to the vaccine," he said in another radio-telephone talk with the San Francisco K.O. Polio Program Committee.

"But no vaccine can prevent polio in those already infected with the disease." MAN HELD ON MURDER CHARGE OF NEIGHBOR ELWYN, Pa. (AP)-Arthur S. Linvill, 72. was held on a murder charge today for the shooting of a neighbor he said had been stealing from his cornfield. The victim was Donald J.

BALL SCRANTON, Pa. (AP)-A rousing old-fashioned political rally starring hometown idol Bill Scranton Friday night formally launched the Republican effort to win back control of Pennsylva nia's state government.

Even for a man ol great wealth and social position, it was a big day in the life of 45-year-old William Warren Scranton. It began at precisely 2:30 p.m. when a big chartered plane touched down at the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Airport bringing in Scranton old friend and benefactor from a day of campaigning in Illinois. Scranton served as a special assistant in the State Department during two of Eisenhower's eight years in the White House.

The city of Scranton was aflame with Republican fervor. There were flags and bunting, brass bands and girls in red-benbboned sailor hats. Everywhere downtown and at the meeting hall were giant-sized pictures of Scranton, flanked by lesser ones of his running mates, and banners proclaiming "Pennsylvania needs Bill Scranton." One woman reached over surrounding heads and fingered the shoulder seam of Eisenhower's coat "You look even younger than I thought. I told 'em you could have stayed on for four more years." The Eisenhower grin broadened. He is 72.

It was the first time Eisenhower had ever been to Scranton, where Democrats outnumber Republicans on the registration books by a ratio of about two-to-one. The big event came at the armory.

HUBER IN I IK YEAR Former Hardware Merchant Dies at Hospital Rites Tuesday at Home Norman O. Huber, of 63 Kenwood Road, retired Cham-bersburg hardware merchant, died this morning at 12:10 at the Chambersburg Hospital. Mr. Huber was admitted to the hospital yesterday after becoming seriously ill at his home. He had been in ill health for several years.

Death was attributed to a heart attack. Educated in the Greene Township rural schools, Mr. Huber graduated from the former Chambersburg Academy in 1893 and then enrolled at State College, where his studies were interrupted during the first year by the death of his father. Mr. Huber gained his first business experience as an errand boy and clerk at the former D.

O. Smiley grocery at Main and King Sts. He later worked briefly at the Samuel W'agaman drug store, then entered the employ of A. L. Sherk's hardware store, an employment that continued for five and a half years.

On Feb. 19, 1903, Mr. Huber purchased the John P. Clark hardware store in Lincoln Way West. As business grew, he moved in 1905 to the Hiram White building, now known as the building in Memorial Square, and later in 1911 he purchased the building at 30-32 S.

Main which then housed the E. N. Hut-ton shoe store. Business continued at the South Main St. site until Mr.

Hubers retirement in late 1952 when the store space was converted to use of the J. J. Newberry Co. store. He was born April 24, 1874, in St.
