YOUNG ADULTS UNIT SPONSORS MINSTREL The first minstrel sponsored by the Young Adults Progressive Society, Bethania Presbyterian Church, will take place Thursday, PTA Guest Speaker Produce Deadlqck Still Unbroken Contract negotiations remained at a standstill today as the work stoppage involving approximately 60 unionized Scranton wholesale fruit and produce drivers entered its fifth day.

Eugene Rosenstein, chairman of the Scranton Wholesale Fruit and Produce Association negotiating committee, said no joint conference is scheduled with officials of Local 229, General Drivers and Helpers Union (AFL). Union Business Agent Joseph McHugh remained unavailable to newspapermen for the second consecutive day. Negotiations were broken off Monday following discharge of 28 employes by three of the 14 firms involved in the dispute. Employers said they failed to report for work. The union contends they were locked out.

Scranton and vicinity experienced a lack of fresh fruit and produce as a result of the strike, although Mr. Rosenstein said the wholesale houses would supply hospitals and other institutions. Some fruit and produce were being secured from wholesalers outside Scranton. Democrats Approve 7 Substitutions The Lackawanna County Democratic Committees executive committee yesterday at Hotel Casey approved seven substitutions of candidates for borough and township offices at the Nov. 8 general election.

Four of the substitutes are in Covington Township with one each in Jefferson Township, Old Forge and Olyphant Boroughs.

10-Mile Speed ForTrucks Urged A mandatory 10-mile-an-hour speed limit for trucks descending the hazardous Moosic St. hill was advocated yesterday. This restraint, suggested by the Lackawanna County Chapter, Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association, was adopted at a conference in the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon by representative agencies. The groups safety suggestion will be offered to city officials for consideration as a future law. It was suggested that the speed limit prevail from the peak of (he hill to the Spruce St.

Bridge and apply to all trucks, regardless of size. The conferees felt that the 10-mile-an-hour speed limit would eliminate the possibility of trucks running away. Should a vehicle get beyond control, they said, it could be easily ditched by the driver without serious results. Joseph Kane, chairman of the City Planning Commission, reported that the Department of Public Works is studying the possibility of curb realignment where Harrison Ave. intersects.

Mr. Kane said Joseph Halpin, director of public works, has estimated the work could be done for $6,000 at the most. James Winebrake, president of the local PMTA, reviewed past conferences. Director of Public Safety William Lonsdorf said the patrolling of hill by city police has proven effective. Truck operators are cautious, he said, and have considered the hill as a hot spot.

It was also pointed out that some trucks have changed routes and are using the Drinker Turnpike. Others present were: Sgt. John Tama, Pennsylvania State Police; Allan Hunsinger, secretary-manager, Lackawanna Motor Club; William Klein, Scranton District, State Highway Department, and Joseph G. McGowan, secretary-manager, Lackawanna County Chapter PMTA. Funeral Notices.

IPUE5E LACS Slayer of 3 Makes 10th Freedom Bid For the 10th time in 15 years, Pasquale (Patsy) Stallone, 60T, Old Forge, yesterday appealed to the State Pardons Board at Harrisburg for commutation of a 30-60-year term received when he was convicted of killing three men in 1922. A year after the killings, Stallone was nabbed in a gold mining camp in Canada. Each time he has asked parole from the Eastern Penitentiary, some one of the descendents of the murdered men has appeared to protest his release.

He based his latest plea on his World War 1 record, lack of previous criminal record and a good institutional record, according to his counsel, Philadelphia County Commissioner Morton Witkin. It is definitely not a willful, premeditated murder, Witkin told the board. There were no eyewitnesses to the shootings. Counsel appealed to the four-member board to grant the plea because Stallone has served all but four years of the minimum term. Witkin claimed the prosecuting attorney and the judge who committed Stallone were not opposed to commutation.

Stallone was convicted of second degree murder. Thirty-one children were left fatherless by the slayings which occurred after a drinking bout in Stallones home. Plastic parts used in household appliances each year total about 57 million pounds. Funeral A rrangements John Durkan S' WALTER P. PHILLIPS Nov.
