Khrushchev had a good idea of what to expect in fee speech by ranking spokesman on hand for the Western alliance. And he knew Macmillan would have an attentive audience.

The raiders, led by State Police Capt. Richard D.

They also picked up a half truckload of prizes, including hams, canned goods, merchandise and an undetermined amount of cash.

SySvania Offers Employes Raises, Meets With I AM Hourly employes of Sylvania Electric Products Inc. not represented by unions and all eligible salaried employes were offered a two-year schedule of wage and benefit improvements, it was announced today.

The same plan has also been offered to unions representing other hourly employes of the Company, Merle W. Kremer, divisional operating vice president said. Bargaining units have not discussed the plan yet, a company official said. The union must accept the plan before any benefits or increases become effective. The first phase of the new program provides wage increases from 5 to 10 cents an retroactive to Aug.

29, 1960. The second phase, which would go into effect next Sept. 1, w'ould provide a non-contributory pension plan and voluntary contributory savings and security plan for all ployes. Kremer said the program provides for elimination of Cost of living provision. The revised benefits program also, provides a fourth week of vacation for 25-year or more employes.

As the Soviet Premier may have expected, Macmillan captured the mood of the delegates and adroitly appealed to it with the attitude of a man calmly approaching solemn deliberations on life-or-death issues. And Macmillan had reasonable proposals, proposals that might provide a hopeful path toward easing tensions. Khrushchev set out, say some observers, first to intrude on that mood of reasonableness, and second to capture the center of the world stage again, so that proposals advanced by Macmillan on behalf of the West would be buried in a mass of spectacular publicity for the antics.

But from comments heard after the meeting, it seemed that his actions had left only a sense of shock among many delegates. This performance, and the belligerent language Khrushchev used after the speech was over, (Turn to Page Fourteen) BONN, Germany (AP) Chancellor Konrad govern-1 ment served notice today it is cancelling the trade agreement between West and East Germany. The action, taken after top-level conferences was ordered as a oountermove to mounting pressure by the Communists against divided and isolated West Berlin. The cancellation notice orders erasure of the trade agreement 1 by the end of this year. Government authorities said Adenauer and his aides agreed Bonn would withdraw the eaneel- lation if the Communists take the heat off Berlin.

Felix von Eckardt, pressj spokesman for the Bonn govern- ment said this meant the Communists would have to guarantee freedom of movement in arid out of Berlin and within the City itself. The East Germans have been applying pressure bit-by-bit restricting movement in Berlin, which lies 110 miles from the nearest point in West Germany, despite claims by Britain, France and the United States that they with the Soviet Union are the sole authorities over this phase oi the life. Today's action nullifies a trade agreement which provides for East-West trade totaling around two billion marks (about $470 million). Von Eckardt told a pi ws conference the Western Allies had agreed to join in the trade embargo, provided a new contract is not negotiated by the end of this year. Renegotiation seemed unlikely since it would have to involve a major backdown on the part of the Communists.

Res. of R.E.GEER, Glaoe TP Warren BEFORE THE RAILROAD CAME the Big Bend Fery crossed the Allegheny River to the Randall Evan Geer residence. The 22-room house served as a hotel for men until 1881 when the railroad came through the area. The date of construction is unknown.

The tracks passed within one foot of the building and in 1891, Geer tore the hotel down and used the lumber to buld a 12-room house farther away from the tracks. The home which now stands on this original foundation is being razed for construction of the Kinzua Dam.

Billy Geer discovered the good flat land along the Allegheny by following an Indian path along its banks in 1826 or 1836.

They were the beginning of a growing Big Bend family tree Atkins which brandies today to five little tots living in modern homes in the Warren area. Billy Geer was Mrs. great-grandfather. Friendly Cornplanter Indians helped the two young couples on their first night at Big Bend, Mrs. Brownell said.

They helped the wife and her sister and brother- men build a lean-to from branches woven with pine boughs for the women. This primitive protection was the first construction at Big Bend. After the donated gold-plated shovel takes its first bite from the former Geer-Brownell homesite, construction of the Kinzua dam will begin. A log cabin was first constructed on the land by great-grandfather Geer. Mrs.

But there was still mystery about the background.

Interpol, the international po- lice organization with headquarters in Europe, is sending fingerprints and data about the Nazi leader last seen fleeing from death- stand bunker in the last hours of the battle oi Berlin. Vitolo declined to declare officially that the suspect was not Bormann until this information is checked. Informed sources said the government had established that the man being held was not Bormann.

Some sources said that Flegel was being investigated on the possibility that he might be another Nazi leader who slipped into Argentina illegally after World War II.

Views More Cuban Cuts After Closing Nickel Plant (AP) WHERE WILL HE VOTE? SOUTH AMBOY, N.J. Moore, 18, starts out today in an effort to break the transcontinental walking record. He hopes to go from here to San Francisco in less than the 66 days, i hours and, 17 mlautes it took i two British sergeantl last spring WASHINGTON United States is considering the use of economic sanctions in its deepening conflict with the Cuban other government of Prime Minister Fidel Castro. These plans, calling for export controls on a limited number of items, may follow up a U.S. decision Thursday night to close down the $110-million nickel processing plant it owns and operates in Oriente province.

The World War II plant, operated steadily since the Korean War, now employs or contributes to employment of 2,800 Cubans, who presumably will lose their jobs. The State Department said the operation has been harrassed by the Castio regime and subjected to what it called confiscatory taxes due to go into effect Saturday. The Cuban government rejected a U.S. offer to pay "a reasonable on nickel shipments from the plant, the department said. There were these other developments indicative of uie tightening The of the Cuban situation: 1.

The State Department said all American men in Cuba are being advised to send their wives and children back to the United States to avoid harassment by Cuban authorities. 2. The Castro government, in a new diplomatic rebuff, refused to accept a U.S. note protesting nationalization of American-owned banks in Cuba. Although both the nickel plant closure and the proposed export controls would affect the Cuban economy, there was no direct relation between them.

While details have not been disclosed, indications are that machinery for oil refineries and chemicals used in the refining process will be brought under the export control system. Such actions would hamper operation of U.S. oil refineries it has seized and is using to refine crude oil obtained from the Soviet Union. Oil experts say the Soviets cannot provide replacement parts for the machinery..
