THI DAILY NIVTS, HUNTINGDON AND MOUNT UNION. PA- PAGE ELIVIN.Vii Quadruple Amputee And 18-Year-Old Girl Marry Joliet, Sept, 10. Pvt. and Utrs. Hubert Reeves began a marriage today that millions of Americans are watching as a test of young courage.

Reeves is a quadruple amputee of the Korean War, The 19-year-old soldier was married yesterday to Beverly Jean Hall in the First Baptist Church. More than 600 persons crowded Into the church which normally holds only 450. They watched as Reeves, seated in a wheelchair, gave the responses to the ceremony without taking his eyes from his dark-haired bride. Beverly, 18, the girl he met. after she wrote him to oheer him up, gazed back.

A tense quiet settled guests when it came time for putting the ring on Beverly's ring lay on the bandage covering what is left of Reeves' left hand. At the proper time, lifted rt up to Beverly who hooked her finger through it then slid it onto her finger herself. Many women in the audience wept openly during the ceremony. WOMAN KILLED (Continued From First Page) were traveling in the easfcbound lane when Stern struck the mediai strip in the highway and rebounded across the eastbound lane. The ear struck an embankment and caromed into the side of the semi- trailer truck.

Police identified the driver of the truck as Charles Harold Hoss- of Westminster, Md. TWO JET FLIERS (Continued From First Page) £1,000 feet when he saw 28 Migs above him. "I pulled into them and lost Sight of my wing man," he related. "As I rolled out behind, there 12 Migs in front of me. I picked out two on the far right and fired a short burst.

These two. broke off so I kept after the remaining 10. I caught one oh the far end and fired three short bursts into him. Pieces started to fly off the plane. It flipped on its back and the pilot fell out.

I saw his parachute open as he fell-" iflLLED (Continued From First Page) called immediately. Radio monitors on both sides of the Atlantic reported hearing the signals yesterday. On a world-wide scale, the worst crash of the week-end occurred at Sao Paulo, Brazil, where a DC-3 crashed and later burned. Twenty-five persons were killed and three injured. Three persons died when their 'light plane struck a forest ranger tower near Brookstron, caught fire and plunged into a ravine.

The dead were identified as Henry C. Mackall, 35, of Vandalia, and John P. Connolly, Dayton, and his wife, both about 30. Five persons were killed in the crash of a small plane near Phillipsburg-. N.

J. The crash of a helicopter near Fairbanks, Alaska, cost the lives of two men. It was the second air tragedy in the territory's "graveyard of-airplanes" within 24 hours and the 14th since July 21. A total of 37 persons are dead or missing as a result. A Philadelphia man was killed and his woman passenger injured seriously when a two-seated plane crashed on a farm near Abington, anj another light plane crashed and burned near Spotsylvania, killing the pilot.

Capt. Wallace Robbins and copilot Ray Jacobs belly-landed their flaming Northeast Airlines DC-3 with its wheels up, scarcely jarring the 39 persons ab'oavl. The right engine of the craft caught fire shortly after it took off from BostoTi. Robbins headed the plane for Weymouth side- slipped into a crash landing to keep the flames and smoke away from the fuselage. The plane skidded across the field and ca.me to rest in a peat bog.

Gifts from all over the nation poured in on the newlyweds, bringing tangible proof of the widespread well wishes for the teenage couple. Both of Reeves' feet and all but one of his fingers were amputated after he suffered severe frostbite during the Winter campaign in Korea. He had been in combat scarcely a month. He met Beverly after he was returned to the United States for extensive surgery. She wrote to him when she read about him in newspapers and Reeves said he was attracted to her because her letter did not say that she felt sorry for him.

He visited her in Wilmington, 111., and the romance began. A reception was held after the ceremony and then the couple left for a week's say at the Louis Joliet Hotel. Among their gifts were almost complete furnishings for their house, given them by Welcome Traveler's along- with an all-expenses free honeymoon anywhere they choose to go. Comedian Eddie Cantor dedicated his first television show of the new season to the young hero and his bride. Cantor also sent them a personal gift of a television set on which to watch the program.

The members of his cast sent a complete set of sterling silver. Reeves said his plans for the future were irtdefinite yet, but he tentatively plans to open a snack shop in Joliet. He said he was scheduled to return to Valley Forge Hospital at Phoenixville, but that he hopes to be transferred later to Hines Veteran Hospital oa the outskirts'of Chicago.

Grove funeral Alexandria, STEEL CITY (Continued from First Page) statement issued fl Even wibh the increases granted, the company will timated net annual return, aiter taxes, of $1,651,000. That expected income represents an approximate 3 per cent return on the $50,000,000 fair value of the property as found by the PUG in below the 6.5 per cent fair rate of return fixed at that time. The implication here is obvious.

Operating on ao slender a margin of profit, the company will have to continue to ask for immediate additional fare increases if it is to grant any subsequent wage increases. "The spiraling rise of the price of goods and labor since April, 1946, has imposed a severe impact upon, all enterprises in this country from which public utilities have in no wise been exempt," the PUC observed. "During 1 the last three or four years, each time the company has come before us with a proposed increase in fares, the causes always have been the rise in the cost of operating the system. "Predominant among these causes has been the precipitous rise in wages of the vehicle operators df the respondent, who are now paid higher wages than any similar operators throughout the United States." The operators in Pittsburgh now are paid $1.79 an hour, and this rate will go to $1.82 an hour on Jan. 1, 1952.

This compares with a rate of $1.46 in Kansas City, $1.67 in Detroit, in Boston, and $1.77 in Chicago. The Chicago rate comes the closest to matching the Pittsburgh rate. Sudden death provided an exclamation point for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Users Safety Conference in Harrisburg. Only a few hours following adjournment of the conference, which had inconclusive i-esults, two women were killed in a head- on collision at Highspire, only a few miles from Harrisburg. They were third and fourth to die on that particular section of the so-called "safest highway in the world" in one week.

'The Turnpike Commission, which clings adamantly to the position that the speed' limit of 70 miles an hour is safe, came in.for some rough handling today by W. Robert Smith, Altoona trucker, who served as chairman of a 90- member "Pennsylvania Turnpike Safety Committee," formed two years ago among interested parties. Plainly annoyed by the fact that the Commission never even acknowledged receipt of a nuie- point safety program as proposed by the committee last February, Smith made known the contents of the committee's report and recommendations. Among other things, the committee recommended that the-70- mile speed for, passenger cars be reduced to. 60, and the 50-mile limit for commercial users to 45.

But, Smith said, the problem of excessive speed was "white-washed" by the Commission. MORE The safety committee was organized at Bedford in 1949 by representatives of truckers, automobile the Pennsylvania State Police, bus lines, insurance underwriters, the Interstate Commerce Commission, and the Turnpike Commission. "We agreed that the accident frequency rate on the Turnpike is not a major cause for alarm," Smith said today. "The problem is that the factors which bring on this comparatively low accidant frequency also produce conditions which make the death rate higher than on other highways," he added. The 1950 death rate of 12.4 per 100,000.000 miles is double that of the State for a whole and four times greater than that of the Merritt Parkway in Connecticut, where a 55-mile speed limit is strictly enforced.

Radar speed checks, Smith charged, showed 82 per cent of the passenger cars traveling; at less than 63 miles an hour and 69 per cent between 50 and 62 miles an hour. "If that is the case, why does the Commission hold to a 70-mile speed limit as something sacred? "There is less chance," Smith said, of having an accident on the Turnpike because of the way it is engineered, but if a pei-son has one tie has less out alive because of the speed at which he is Much criticism of the Commission was heard during and after the conference for waiting for eleven years before making public its traffic safety figures for the Turnpike. And there was additional, caustic comment because the figures produced did not break down the records for the first six "months of 1951. It has been since the opening' of the Eastern extension of the Turnpike from Carlisle to Norristown, late last year, that an apparent sharp increase in fatalities has been observed. Pressure for some radical steps to halt these senseless killings is mounting, it has been' observed here, and something more than a block signal control system will be needed to quiet pfiblic feeling, it is agreed almost everywhere except at the Commission headquarters.

The tragedy at Highspire, a bloody sequel to tho conference for safety, has served only to. increase that pressure. This was a good week-end for political horse-trading in Pennsylvania, and apparently a lot of it was going on.

Field Marshal Alexander Papa- gos' right-wing forces appeared certain of victory today in Greece's parliamentaiy election but failed to muster a majority needed to form a new government. With more than three-fourths of the precincts counted, the war hero's Royalist Greek Rally Party had a comfortable lead over the National Progressive Union, a center party headed by former Premier Gen. Nicholas Piastiras. But observer's believed the election, intended to give Greece its first' stable government since 1950, would culminate in formation' of a coalition including' Pa- pagos, Plantiras and the liberal party of Premier Sophocles Venizelos. The United States maintained a hands-off policy in the nationwide balloting yesterday although Marshal Plan officials privately have expressed concern over Greece's failure to establish sound government.

Papagos, 69, was pledged to support King Paul despite a recent fight between the two. ernor's personal tax proposal, were not new. The first time that such a proposed trade was mentioned, it was learned today, was many, weeks ago. At that time, the Governor was reportedly ready to pledge passage of 10 pro-labor bills in exchange for support of his tax plan. Organized labor would have won unparalleled benefits and protection in Pennsylvania, had the plan gone through.

It went out the window, however, at that time because of the opposition of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, reliable sources said. Now, seemingly, it has cropped up anew. CIO disapproval of the plan, it was reported, was expressed by both Philip Murray, its national president, and Harry Boyer, president of the Pennsylvania Industrial Union Council. The Pennsylvania Federation of Labor (AFL), it is understood, favored making the trade, and there is some feeling: among some of its leaders that labor may have "missed the boat." According to one Informed source, the Administration not only promised the pro-labor legislation, but was willing to have it enacted before the income tax levy came to a. vote.

Compensation benefits unmatched in the Nation would have been part of the trade, it is said. Murray's and Boyer's reasoning-, it is reported, was that the pro-labor legislation probably would have been repealed or watered down at the next legislative sessiori. Moreover, trading with the Republicans in this have set the Democratic Party back in Pennsylvania for years, they warned. Now the reports are out in the open, and already a fight has developed in the Democratic minority, with Sen. John.

Chang charged after the investigation that "this kind of continuous violation" had no other purpose than to delay resumption of the trues talks. The UN investigating accompanied by newsmen and photographers arrived at Kaesong, at 9:20 a. (8:20 p. Sunday EDT) and 20 minutes later back to ths advance base at Munsan that they had left ths city to inspect the scene of the alleged incident. The UN officers useri a carpenter's Iwel.

a protractor, a rule and a long string- in working out the angles at which the bullets seemed to have struck find the directions from which they came. They even climbed a roof to examine broken tile and bullet marks. Darrow told Chang that "all the evidence you have shown is evidence which could have been put there by several different means." Chang said angrily: "Unless you admit that the bullets came from a plane, -what is the use of further discussion to make an admission because "I have not adequate proof." Chang accused Darrow having "a plan before coming here." "I won't answer the stupid announcement you jusr made," Darrow replied Korea swirled to within SO miles of the battlefront when 80 Rus- built Mig-15s challenged aa outnumbered American jet fighter force only to be outfought and chased back across the Manchuriatt border. Thirty American F-86 Sabrejets tangled with the Communist planes between Anju and Pyongyang in a 30-minute dogfight six to seven miles above the ground. One group of 15 Red jets broke off and attacked five flights of U.

S. fighters near Sinuiju on the Yalu River frontier but ran for the cover of their "sanctuary" when Sabre jets sped in to attack. The Fifth Air Force said the battle involving more than 110 planes of both sides wa.s the biggest since last April when nearly 200 U. S. and Communist planes mixed in daylong' clashes.

Two enemy planes were damaged but no American jets were reported downed in the air fighting-. The UN ground assault raged oft Monday to break up offensive preparations by three Red armored divisions. Gen. James A. Van Fleet, UN ground forces commander, said the Reds lost more than 25,000 men in the past two weeks.

UN reports said the enemy has three armored divisions poised for attack with a total of five "offensive" armies now massed on the western front at the head of the traditional invasion route to Seoul. The Communists rushed mora Chinese railwaymen into Korea, Radio Peiping- announced, presumably to speed repair the Reds' wrecked supply routes, as speculation increased that an all- out push would be the Communists' "last word" on the stalemated Kaesong cease-fire talks. Communist airmen tried onca more to challenge U. S. air might over North Korea Sunday and had two Russian-built Mig-15 jets shot down and one damaged.

The Reds threw 70 planes into battle against 28 U. S. Sa.bre jets but couldn't hold their own lopsided numerical edge. Subscribe for The Daily News, HUNTINGDON Fisher Motor Plymouth Formerly Smirh Motor Sales Co. 176 E.
