S. Whlpperman' Information was filed against Walter Driscoll by R.

H. Nixon, representative of the Humane Society of Western Pennsylvania after Nixon made an investigation of the premises where the chickens were being raised. Constable E. D. Peck was authorized by the.

society to make a preliminary investigation of the situation Saturday, aTTer complaints were received that chickens were starving to death. Saturday morning Constable Peck drove to the place located on the main highway in Addison. An estimated 800 chickens were located there in several buildings. Found In Barn. Most of the chickens were found in a two-floor barn near the street.

The others were in several compartments of buildings set back from the street. The barn was three or four feet from the home of Mrs. Mary Liven good, who under questioning stated that the stench from the barn wao so bad that she had to keep her windows tightly closed and eat ner meals across the street at her daughter's, Mrs. J. O.

Wilkins. The officer entered the barn and found a suffocating stench. A few dead chickens, half -buried in manure, were lying around. The chickens looked thin and weak and shuffled arounQ, making hollow rumbling sound. A few bags of masa lay in thecorner unopened but there was no food, or water in fowl troughs.

More Chickens, No Feed Upstairs the officer, found a few hundred more chickens with approximately a dozen or more dead ones lying around. There was no food or water in the troughs. Driscoll could not be located Saturday, but a note was left for him and when Constable Peck returned with the Humane society representative from Pittsburgh, Driscoll and his brother, James, were feeding the chickens. The dead ones had been cleaned up. The youths were brought to Somerset and given a hearing.

Driscoll said the chickens 'were dying from an incurable disease 1 called New Castle "disease. He said some 700 had died in the last few weeks and that every night he has to take some out to bury them. He said he fad them twice a day. i James, studying agriculture at Penn State, said he was a partner with his brother but was going to school and could, not help out. He said his brother had to help out at their home In West Virginia and was the only one there: to care 150 turkeys they were raising.

Over 12 Weeks Walter admitted that his chickens had' not 'been receiving as good care as -they would have if he did not have to work both jobs. He said they were past the 12-week period in which they should have been sold. Mr. Peck and Mr. Nixon told him that when they became sick he should have called in someone to help him.

They said the filthiness of the barn probably contributed to the sickness. Walter said the business had not been profitable since he. undertook it a year and a half or so "ago. He said this time he would try to sell the chickens and call it quits. He was fined $20 and ordered to pay the costs of prosecution.

The costs included the price of two 100-pound sacks bought by the officers to feed the chickens for the week end and paying Chester Miller of Addison to feed them. The youths said they only fed the chickens mash and the two bags of feed were still in Miller's car.

the calm, Monday morn ing atmosphere of Meyersdale was abruptly shattered by the sudden collapse of the Knecht Electric building, Center Street, owned by James Knecht, of Sherman Street. Weakened by excavating for remodeling, the one and a half story brick and frame building was leveled in a matter of seconds. The front wall caved Nout Into Center street, the right wall fell onto the lawn of the neighboring Samuel R. Phllaon residence scarcely fifteen feet away, and one wall remained Intact. The back wall had already been removed for remodeling purposes.

Left without support, the roof dropped directly onto the first floor, crushing" television sets, radiosA washing machines, electric rangeSi deep freezes, and other electric appliances beneath its weight. -Damage $10,000 Damage to the building, appliances and company truck, which had been parked front of the store, was estimated at nearly $10,000 by James Knecht, owner and operator 6f the store. The 'amount is partly covered by Insurance. Two people were in the Duumng at the time: Mrs. C.

Smith, an employee, and Mr, Knecht. Warned by. the peculiar cracking noise, they managed to themselves behind a counter; there was not time to escape into the street. Uninjured except for a few scratches, they climbed over the rubble, minutes after the crash. Louis superintendent of theSand Spring Water company, and his- eon Michael were beginning work on a water main directly in front of the- Knecht buildings when they, too, the cracking noises coming from the, stoVe.

Congress Makes; Is No La w- maker BY FELIX COTTEK June 2 IN-Tha Supreme court today ruled 6-3 that President Truman's seizure of thi steel industry, was illegal and unconstitutional and 650,000 CIO steel-workers left their jobs in a new nationwide strike. 1 The White House refused immediate comment on the momentous court decision, but it appeared that Mr. Truman may reluctantly be forced to use-Taft-Hartley injunction proced- 1 ure to spare defense production from what he has called "catastrophic'" paralysis. I CIO President Philip Murray order ed the walkout less than an hour after the high tribunal returned its decision and picket lines promptly were thrown up around steel plants. Murray, who heads the steel union, asserted that the verdict "leaves tho members of the United Steelworkers of America without the benefit of a collective bargaining agreement." Bm said a strike was the only alternative, but urged the Industry to resume wage" talks with the union.

The Supreme court, for the first time In American, history, attempted to define the limits of the president's emergency powers and held that Congress alone has the power to author-' ize the chief executive to seize private property. Justice Black's Opinion Justice Black delivered the majority opinion, Justices Jackson, Burton, Clarke Douglas and Frankfurter concurring. Chief Justice Vinson and Justices Reed and Minton dissented. The ruling upheld the decision of U. S.

District Judge David A. Pino that the president had neither actual nor "inherent" powerta seize tho mills. Members of Congress, with few exceptions, hailed the court's action. Republican legislators demanded that Mr. Truman Taft-Hartley machinery to choke off the strike.

Korea, June 3-(Q Defiant Chinese prisoners of. war were setting up a new flagpole today near the site of one knocked down yesterday by a Patton tank protected by a ring of American infantrymen with bared bayonets. The hard-core Communists were erecting their flagpole in the face of a statement by Gen.

Mark Clark that no nonsense would be tolerated from the 80,000 red POWs on this trouble- ridden island.

Gen. May-don L. (Bull) Boatner, has moved firmly in the past week to restore allied control over the unruly POWs. Two Patton tanks and about 160 soldiers carrying bayonet-tipped, rifles and wearing gas masks barged into Compound 602 yesterday only five minutes after the deadline Boatner had set for the reds to lower their flag. The Patton toppled the flagpole and GIs carried out the red banner which had been flying for months over the compound as a 'symbol or Communist defiance.

One red prisoner was wounded by a South Korean euaird in a brief disorder shortly after Clark left the island. The united 'nations supreme- commander talked to correspondents briefly on his first trip to Kojte to check on measures being taken to restore order and obedience among arrogant, trouble-making prisoners, "The maximum amount of force necessary will be. 'Used to make rebellious prisoners obey orders," Clark said firmly. Shortly before his news conference, U. S.

Infantrymen supported by tanks "entered two red -ruled compounds, quietly cleared wide areas around the taunting red flags and banners. They ripped down the Communist symbols and burned them. Bed Cress Witnesses International Red Cross representatives watched the operation, presumably to bear witness if fanatical red leaders tried to provoke a riot. But -the Communists, standing by sullenly, offered no resistance. (Continued on PAGE SIX) Fasted 42 Days; Will Fast On Til Prayer's Answered CHERRYVILLE, June 2 (INS) The Rev.

"We shall meet these and such other actions as may occur in the future with quiet determination and steadiness."

Across the nation, steelworkers nd Dismay For Court Rule By ARTHfjR EDSON" WASHINGTON, June 2-(P)-The Supreme court ruled "6-3 today that President Truman violated the Constitution when he seized. the nation's steel Industry. The court's action was greeted with approval "Hooray cried Sen. Tobey (R-NH)-and Awith dismay. "This presents us the potential, of a grave might be the gravest in oUrJhis-tory said Sen.

Lehman (DLib- Lehman's view: "Congress must act, without Va moment's unnecessary delay, to pass essential legislation to give the president the power he needs. This is no time for politics. This Is a time for action." From-the president himself, there was immediate comment. From Charles M. White, president of 'Republic, Steel decision should be heartening' to every freedom-loving man and woman throughout the world.

"A prolonged steel strike may be in the Offing but, regrettable as Judge Pine stated, It is far better than further Intrusion of govern ment iiuo private rignts. White's view: "This is the greatest and most important Supreme court decision for the American people in my lifetime, -t: White referred to' federal District Judge David A.

"The companies will of course sit down with the union without delay to try to reach a fair settlement of the steel strike," said John A. Stephens, vice president of U. S. Steel and a spokesman for the Industry.

i Possible Courses President Truman no-can follow several course's 1. He can invoke the emergency provisions oi-the Taft-Hartley act. 2. Hfr-can ask Congress to give him apecific seisure. powers, as Lehman suggested Congress should do.

3. He can do both. JTruman already has said the course he pursued took the place of the Taft-Hartley actTwocedure and that instead of the 80-day "cooling off." period the nation really got 99 days through union postponements of a strike. 7 Besides, the-Taft-Hartley act calls for the appointment of 'a. factfinding board to report on the labor dispute issues.

Not until it reported back to the president could he go Into court and ask for an Injunction to end the strike. That might take a week or more. t'p to Congress As for No. 2.
