Lawrence, speaking before the.

Snow Costs Heavy In Area Towns The hoavy snowfalls last win ter and community budgets are invariably in conflict because when budgets are set up specula tive expenses are not considered However, in spite of the fact that it snows more or less dur ing the winter months, the budg ets are bound to be knocked out of kilter. But somehow or other the money becomes available, the snow is removed and the direc tors of the streets departments have to present an accounting In Monongahela, for example, the emergency created a legal problem. Since the Third Class City Code requires that bids be sought through advertising if the amount involved is over $300, what is to be done about the purchase of salt that costs $318? City Solicitor Joseph J. Benedict of Monongahela has had to pre pare a written opinion to satisfy the director of the Department of Acounts and Finance. Here is the expense picture in this part of the Monongahela Val ley due to the heavy snowfall which required extra hours of work, extra supplies and rental of additional equipment; Monongahela, $3,854.22 Donora, in excess of $3,000.

The 158-item collection of neck laces, bracelets, rings and clips belonged to the late Lillian Timken, aged widow of William R. Timken, co-founder of the Timken Roller Bearing Co. of Canton, Ohio. Experts at the Parke-Bernet auction gallery believe the jewels will bring more than one million dollars. Dealers representing private buyers from three continents will be on hand to bid.

The sale is the most important since Mrs. John E. Rovensky's jewels sold for at Hie same gallery in 1957. Mrs. Timken, a recluse, was found dead last October amid a liter of newspapers and cartons in her dusty, art-filled 24-room apartment on Fifth Avenue.

She had been socially active until her husband's death in 1949, but had kept both her jewels and cheap costume jewelry in tlie bank since that time. She sometimes rearranged her jewels in tlie vault, wrapping them in odd bits of paper. In her will she provided that they be sold at auction and the proceeds be divided evenly among the American Red Cross, the Boy Scouts of America and three local welfare groups. Mrs. Timken bought many of her jewels in the '20s when long necklaces with heavy pendants were popular.

There are seven of this type in the collection, start ling creations of first water diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sap phires valued from $15,000 to 000. The most valuable item in tlie sale is an emerald-cut white diamond ring of 28.75 carats which is expected to bring $160,000. Mrs. Timken was a repeat buyer and collected several lings of similar sizes in the same stones and a number of bracelets of similar Cancer Suit In Recess PITTSBURGH (UPI) The 250,000 damage suit brought by cancer victim Otto Pritchard against a leading cigarette man ufacturer was in recess today while opposing attorneys rounded up witnesses to appear in the precedent-setting Federal Court case. The one-day recess was granted by Judge John L.

Miller who on Tuesday ruled that medical testi mony would be permitted at the trial. Pritchard's attorney said he would call prominent doctors and research experts to prove that a link exists between heavy smok ing and lung cancer. Counsel for the defendant (Liggett and Myers Tobacco Co.) contend testimony from such witnesses would prove nothing because of disagreement on the smoking cancer linx theory. Pritchard, 61, a Pittsburgh cab inet maker, filed suit in 1934. A year earlier he underwent sur gery for removal of two lobes of one lung where cancer had de veloped.

He claimed he contracted cancer after smoking one of the tobacco company's brands (Chesterfield) from the time he was 14 until shor ly betore his operation. Attorney James P. McArdle, representing Pritchard, charged earlier in the trial that the cig arette company used "deceitful advertising" which was not corrected even after medical scien tists in the late 1940's revealed possible connection between heavy smoking and lung cancer. Mrs. Timken's furniture will be auctioned later this spring.

She bequeathed her sculptures and paintings; masterpieces of the Dutch and Flemish Renaissance school, to the Metropolitan Museum here and the National Gal lery in Washington. 4 at 5:24 a.m. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Regis Innis of April 4 at 9:05 a.m.

The action was taken after a long discussion by the directors. The lease, agreed upon some weeks ago by the County Commissioners and the Fair Board, has been presented to the court for approval. The court has with- held approval, due to its obiee tion to gambling concessions at the fair.

Business relative to conduct oi a successful fair are now under consideration. However, it is thought that many of the more desirable contracts will be lost because ef the delay in approval of the lease. Martin Stresses Spiritual Side Of National Defense PITTSBURGH (UPI) Former Sen. Edward Martin said today the United States must have a defense at a "cost that will not de stroy our economy." 'It seems unfortunate in the defense debates Uiat many seem to think that only money will pro tect us from Communistic and missile destruction," Martin said at a Rotury Club meeting here today. "Our defense, in keeping with our tradition, must be military, economic, and spiritual," the former Republican lawmaker said.

"Everyone must take a part in it." Martin stressed tho spiritual side of defense and said "We cannot put our bust alone in armor." WASHINGTON (UPI) Chair man Martin F. O'Donoghue of the Teamsters' monitors has asked a federal court to oust James R. Hoffa as president of the international union and as head of Detroit Local 299. O'Donoghue claimed Tuesday that Hoffa had violated a court order and the Teamsters' constitution by holding both jobs. The constitution requires the union's general president to devote his entire time to the international union.

O'Donoghue also accused Hoffa of allowing a convicted perjurer, Benjamin Frank Collins, to become secretary-treasurer of Local 299. The union declared, meanwhile, it was "outrageous" for U.S. District Court Judge F. Dickinson Letts to deprive the union of representation on the board of monitors. Harold J.

Gibbons, Hoffa's chief assistant, demanded that Letts appoint William E. Bufalino, attorney and head of Teamsters' Local 985, to succeed Daniel B. Ma-her on the board. Maher Tuesday informed the judge he was quitting despite Letts' refusal to accept his resignation. Gibbons said Letts' deferral of the Bufalino nomination was "particularly disturbing" since the judge named Terence McShane, an ex-FBI man, to the board within 24 hours after former monitor Lawrence T.

Smith was fired. McShane represents rank-and-file plaintiffs. Two Held In Wire Theft From Mine UNIONTOWN. Pa. (UPD-Two Brownsville men were held in jail today on charges of stealing a large amount of copper wire from a U.S.
