Keystone operates a chain of 76 drug and health and beauty aid centers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Ohio. City Councilman Nof ie Cata- laoo will be answering those questions he refused to answer at a deposition hearing here on Instead of giving verbal replies, as requested on March 7, he will reply by means of written interrogatories. Whether or not he will be assessed all of the approximately $140 cost of proceedings to get his replies was not immediately determined. Catalano's agreement to respond to questions asked on behalf of ex-city councilman James T. Reilly was arrived at during a county court hearing Monday morning.

Cumberland County Court Judge Dale F. Shughart presided at the session. The hearing was set up at the request of Reilly to force Catalano to answer questions and also to pay legal costs. The March 7 deposition hearing was convened to ascertain if Reilly has a legal basis for a lawsuit action against Catalano and possibly against Mayor Walter A. Swanger.

Catalano previously brought criminal charges against Reilly and others who were then city officials as the result of a dispute over the payment of a fee to former city solicitor R. Hart Beaver. At the March 7 hearing Mayor Swanger and Justice of the Peace John Arnold gave testimony. Catalano responded to a number of questions before leaving the room. At this morning's hearing it was noted that some of Catalano's answers were: "It's none of your damn business." Among other things he was questioned about his party affiliation.

Reilly said that he was "very with the outcome of yesterday's hearing before Judge Shughart. Catalano would make no comment on the matter. Canada To Ban Meats OTTAWA (UPI) Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan announced Monday that Canada would strictly enforce a ban on the import of all meat products containing the growth hormone DES. The move could sharply reduce Canadian imports from the United States, which has not followed the decision of Canadian Health authorities to ban the hormone, which has been linked to cancer in mice. Whelan said that, effective Tuesday, all meat imports would have to be accompanied by a certificate from the govement of the country of origin guaranteeing that the meat never contained DES.

The meat affected includes beef, lamb, mutton and veal and the ban applies to all forms of DES, including feed additives and implants. Canadian cattlemen had been demanding such a ban to curb rapidly rising imports of low priced U.S. beef, and the move was expected to have that effect at least until U.S. authorities agree to issue the required certification.

Fourth shortly before 2 a.m. today. There was no damage. The Rescue, Washington and Independent fire companies responded. Raps FEO HARRISBURG (UPI) GOT.

Milton J. Shapp Monday criticized Federal Energy Office (FED) plans to shift more responsibility for fuel allocation to the major oil companies. Shapp, a frequent critic of the FED, said the latest federal plan was "unconscionable." "Who will monitor the oil companies? Who will guard the guards? "Shapp said. He said the proposed regulations were disturbing because "oil company profits have skyrocketed to record highs and there still has been no full public audit of the oil industry as promised by the government." Shapp also opposed new FED regulations which exclude small fanners with storage tanks of less than 50 gallons from fuel priority lists. He said the proposed regulation would affect 20 per cent of Nixon To Tour Storm Area WASHINGTON (UPI) President Nixon will fly to Xenia, Ohio today to tour the tornado-ravaged community and observe federal recovery efforts, the White House said.

Nixon was leaving Andrews AFB in suburban Maryland at 10 20 a. m. EOT for the flight to Wright-Patterston AFB, Ohio. There he will be met by Rep. Clarence J.

Brown, R-Ohio, whose district covers Xenia, for a helicopter trip to the city. White House Deputy Press Secretary Gerald L. Warren said Nixon's helicopter would land in Xenia so the President could get a first-hand view of the destruction caused by the tornados that struck last week. The White House said Nixon would return to Washington about 3 p.m. EOT and bring Brown back with him.
