Gretna Paul H. Flinchbaugh, Lebanon Winters Warmer In Ice Age (Continued from Page One) ratios. If this is true, such records may help in the understanding of such cycles." The scientists said that the wood cellulose that makes up trees shows what the climate was at the time. This cellulose can be measured to determine where a tree gets its water, how much humidity there was during the tree's growth and possibly a precise record of ancient cycles of drought and rain. They measured the ratio of two isotopes chemical properties in the cellulose in the ice-age trees and compared them with the chemicals of trees that began growing after the ice age ended.

The comparison suggests "that conditions (in the ice age) were milder on the average and most likely that winters were warmer and summers cooler," they said. "Such a climate would mean that huge ice sheets would melt less in the summer and grow more rapidly in the winter because air flowing in and over them from the ocean would remain more humid and contain more potential snow to feed the ice caps." By contrast, air masses reaching today's ice sheets in- Greenland and Antarctica have almost no moisture, they said. Polish, Egyptians Angered (Continued trom Page One) city's estimated 800,000 dead of World War II. Poles clad in black and carrying black umbrellas cheered him from time to time. But there was none of the massive outpouring that marked the visit by President Richard Nixon in 1959 when his visit ushered in a new policy of coexistence and detente with the Soviet bloc.

Communist Party Chairman Edward Gierek skipped the ceremonies as he prepared for serious talks later with Carter. The President and Mrs. Carter wearing a long beige cape against the wintry weather went first to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where they walked solemnly behind two U.S. Marines, one white, one black, to place a large floral wreath. Polish army drummers beat out a slow roll as an honor guard snapped to attention in the raw and blustery weather.

A small crowd shouted "Long Live Carter!" After standing in front of the monument for a moment, Carter turned back and chatted with a few Polish veterans. He got into his car to drive off, then changed his mind and plunged into the crowd shaking hands right and left. He did so at every opportunity as his 32- car motorcade snaked through the streets of Warsaw. From time to time when the cavalcade halted he would leap out of the car and pump hands furiously to the cheers of the crowd. Security was very tight and reporters covering the Carter visit, his first to Communist country since he shocked the Soviet leadership with his stance on human rights, had to have tickets to everything, including the regular Carter press conference being broadcast live to the United States.

Before arriving, Carter pledged he would speak "clearly and proudly" about America's commitment to peace and human rights. Carter, who publicly intervened last summer on behalf of jailed Polish" workers after the 1976 food riots, stressed in his first speech that although "old ideological labels have lost theri meaning the basic goals of friendship, world peace, justice, human rights and individual freedom loom more important than ever." After the ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Carter drove a couple of hundred yards to another memorial, named after the Atheninan goddess of victory, Nike, and dedicated to Warsaw's war dead. Again he laid a wreath, standing solemnly and silently with Mrs. Carter before the monument, which shows a winged goddess brandishing a sword. The monument in particular commemorates the Warsaw Uprising of that began in August 1944 and lasted through two months of some of the most bitter street fighting of the war.

Carter then went to the monument to the Jewish heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising of 1943. The resistance lasted for a month until Nazi troops, unable to defeat the Jewish defenders in open battle, systematically razed the entire Ghetto in a battle that killed 60,000 Jews. Man Jailed For Robbing Local Bank Very Special Gifts For Very Special People Hotel Hershey Hershey Motor Lodge (Continued trom Page One) The outcome was that a "positive identification" was made in the case, ending with the arrest of Rodriguez at the Cleona school. Following the arrest, Rodriguez was taken to Lebanon police he was interrogated. Later, Chief Brentley and city police Detective Richard Heverling drove the prisoner to a home in York where Rodriguez had reportedly stayed from time to time with friends.

There, "a large portion" of the stolen $17,000 was recovered. However, Chief Brentley said yesterday that the exact amount of recovered from the bank in one, five, ten, and 20 dollar not yet been determined pending a dollar count. One police source said Rodriguez is believed to have driven directly to York after the robbery. Police believe he left the bank on foot and walked to the rear of the Sears Automotive Center, west of the bank, where he had his car parked. Unconfirmed reports indicate that the robber, who was armed with a sawed-off single barrel shotgun at the time of the hold-up, dropped the weapon into the Susquehanna River at the Wrightsville Bridge, between Lancaster and York.

Weapon May Be Recovered It was also indicated that the water in that area the river is only a few feet deep, and that recovery of the weapon is considered a possibility. Rodriguez, who had been living at the Penns Woods Motel near Route 72 and the Turnpike, was described as single, never married, and believed to have been well known in the local Spanish community. An unconfirmed report indicated that he at one time had a residence on the Northside, near Lehman Street. According to Grace Wert, who, along with her husband, owns and operates the Penns Woods Motel, Rodriguez's arrest was "shocking." "He never caused any trouble," she said last evening. "He never took anything from the room.

We just couldn't believe it." Mrs. Wert said that Rodriguez had been living alone at the motel for three years. He had family in New York, she explained, although little was known about him since he seldom talked with others. However, she did point out that Rodriguez was known to be a church-goer. Saw Resemblance "When we saw the picture in the newspaper, we all said, 'My gosh! Doesn't that look like "Mrs.

Wert said. At the time, however, they never actually suspected Rodriguez she said. At about 6:30 p.m. yesterday, state and area police convened at the motel to inspect and seal the room where Rodriguez had been staying. Prior to that, at about 5:15 p.m., N.

Cornwall and city police had taken the suspect to the Good Samaritan Hospital where he underwent a physical examination. According to hospital spurces, the examination showed Rodriguez to be in good physical health. Police sources said that the reason for the exam- nation was that the robbery suspect had stated, during interrogation, that he was on the verge of withdrawal trom use or nard drugs. Charges filed against Rodriguez last evening were for robbery and recklessly endangering the lives of others, according to N. Cornwall Chief Raymond Brentley.

Cornwall police. Detective Richard Heverling was also credited by Lt. Frick with doing an outstanding job, and said that Heverling had spent a considerable number of off- duty hours in tracking down leads.

"We were lucky for several reasons," Heverling told the Daily News this morning. "No one was hurt," he explained and he praised what he termed excellent cooperation between the FBI, state police, Lebanon police and the N. Cornwall-W. Lebanon Police Department. "We also had help from concerned citizens," he added.

"We all had our job to do and we got lucky and got our man," Heverling said. He emphasized that the actual apprehension of Rodriquez was accomplished by Chief Brentley and Lt. Larry Tompkins, of the N. Cornwall-W. Lebanon department and FBI Agent Hidne.

Among the other officers who participated in the investigation, Heverling said, were: Lt. Donald Holloway, Reading state police barracks; Trooper John Bainbridge, Jonestown state police substation, and Patrolman Karl L. Kern of the city police Co.

The magazine said Thursday it had located and interviewed a number of Hitler's relatives in Austrian villages. "Until age 7, Adolf Hitler was a child like any other," Anton Schmidt, 70, described as a first cousin of the German dictator, told Oggi. "Then he began to be restless. For instance, for some time he was obsessed with the idea of becoming a bishop. "When he came to our home in Spital, he built an altar with some benches and pretended to officiate mass.

Then he demanded that all his playmates kiss his hands." Another cousin, Adolf Schmidt, 43, was quoted as saying, "I never married because I was afraid of begetting another Hitler. "This relationship brought no advantage and a lot oftrouble to our family. When he was boss, he completely forgot about us. He was so 'proud' of his relations that he became enraged when he learned a plaque had been affixed in the village of Spital saying that his family came from there. "When he was no longer boss, we were persecuted by the Russians, who did not believe Hitler was really dead and demanded impossible revelations from us.

To force us to say where he was 'hiding they deported my father, mother and sister. updating is mandated by law.
