Her condition at Cape Cod Hospital in nearby Hyannis was listed today as satisfactory. Miss Frotten, a Hyannis phone operator, was making her first jump. From all indications. she had been trained well and all the precautionary measures had been taken. Her instructor, Jack L.

La Roche, 22. of Watertown, was with Miss Frotten in the Cessna 182 as it soared high over the lake. Her fiance. John Burke, 26, of West Yarmouth, had just completed a successful jump and was waiting on the ground ready to applaud the girl's first descent by parachute. Miss Frotten leaped but when her chute failed to open, rescuers began to assemble and move in on the lake.

"I'll never jump again." Later at the hospital Miss Frotten said that a sleeve of the parachute, which usually opens automatically, became tangled in her legs. She said she was able to free it. La Roche said that just before she plunged into the water feet first. the sleeve loosened and the chute opened slightly. Funeral Notice RYAN.

Zion Cemetery, Donora Firemen (Continued from Page One) After breaking down the locked doors, firemen tried to turn on lights in the rear bedroom, but discovered the wall switch hanging from a bare wire, and a fixture-less wire hanging from the center of the ceiling.

The electricity was on throughout the house, however. Donora Police report that Mrs. Carlock was arrested, despite her claim that she had asked the women living in the second floor apartment to watch the kids. The woman in question, Mrs. Joseph Web, denied Mrs.

Carlock's charges, and claimed she had nothing to do with the children. When firemen questioned Mrs. Carlock at the scene, she told them she had left the house only "minutes before the fire" to attend a funeral. The whereabouts of William Carlock, the father of the children is not known, police report. Suspect Arson Volk stated this morning that "someone started that fire.

It might have been kids, but it wasn't her (Mrs. Carlock's) kids, because they were asleep." According to Volk, the recent weather and the location of the trash pile leaves out any thought of an accidental start. Tin cans and old mattresses and bed springs, boxes and old broken toys; even gargage was scattered by firemen in extinguishing the blaze. The cellar of the home, wide open with no door or closed win. dow, contained piles of trash.

More mattresses and beds, a chair and table, empty and full relief-food boxes. Damage to the porch and contents of the house was estimated at $100. Work On Two Spans In City Progressing Two bridge projects are in the construction limelight these days in Monongahela. The Monongahela-East Monongahela bridge is being reconstructed and improved, and a new span is being built over Pigeon Creek in East Main Street. According to Anthony Garrubba, state inspector in charge of the river bridge project, the first concrete for the new back wall on the East Monongahela side of the 54-year-old span was poured yesterday.

The complete concrete sequence of placing new abutment caps on all four corners, a half width at a time. and the building of a new wall to the roadway level will be finished one corner at a time. Two-way traffic exists except for the approaches to the bridge on either side. Meanwhile, work is progressing rapidly on early phases of the construction of the new four-lane span over Pigeon Creek. It is being built by the Frank Presto Construction Company of Ambridge at an estimated cost of $324.742.

Many of the big willow trees which lined the banks of the creek have been cut down. Clearing operations and excavations have started with huge pilings assembled beside the old bridge. Driving of these pilings will begin at once. Forms are now under construction for the piers, and the first concrete for the northern abutment will be poured next week. During any phase of the project, two-way traffic will be maintained at all times, according to Contractor Frank Presto.

He mentioned, however, that the side-walk of the existing bridge will be closed shortly. As far as a wind-up date for the project is concerned. Presto picked out December 25 to "present the bridge to the people of Monongahela as a Christmas gift." One lane of the new structure should be open for traffic by November 1. Waiting for a Department of Highway's decision on Friday concerning bids for the dismantling of old houses in the path of the proposed approaches, Presto expects the buildings to be torn down next week. The new bridge will be four lanes, 60 feet wide, 152 feet long.

Huntingdon Board Turns Down pointure Hopes of a new district jointure at this time. to be known as the Yough Valley Joint School System, were dissipated last night when the South Huntingdon School Board voted to return the contract and not enter the jointure. Supervising Principal Guy Nicholls of the South Huntingdon School system could not be reached personally but a spokesman from his office said that there were five of the seven members of the Board present at the meeting. Four voted to return the contract. The fifth refrained from voting.

However the informant said that the principal was attending a meeting today with other school heads interested in the jointure and that talks were being resumed in an effort to get SALES BOOMED etor Paul Spesak automobiles-10 Company for utility and six Wednesday. cation, 226 Chess Avella Water Company Head Answers Flynn The president of Avella Water Company, Joseph Soviero, has accusel State Assemblyman Michael R. Flynn of Washington of making "rash and reckless state ments" in a telegram sent Sunday to Gov. David L. Lawrence asking the governor to intervene in the Avella water dispute.

The water company has for several years been lax in furnishing water to the community which it serves. The matter has been called to the attention of the Public Utility Commission which, apparently, also has been lax in enforcing regulations which govern the supply of water to the public. The intense dry spell this year has affected the supply in Avella to the point where civic groups and individuals have sought relief through government officials. It was for this reason that Assemblyman Flynn sent the telegram in question. The company president, among other things, accused Flynn of acting without full knowledge of the water plant and of making a "political football" out of the situation.

affirmative action in the matter. Rostraver and Smithton School Districts voted Tuesday to be a part of the proposed four-school joint system, but the West Newton Board voted against entering it "at this time." With the rejection last night by South Huntingdon, the measure has been temporarily defeated. The Sutersville School District originally was included in discussions on the proposed jointure but since has been leaning toward entering a jointure with Sewickley Township School District.

Now, with the discount period extended 30 days beyond the time the notice is received, the period for payment at face value starts at the end of the first 30 days and the taxes become delinquent and subject to penalty 60 days after the notice is received. It appears that it will be sever. al weeks until all of the notices are actually mailed, although the tax assessment office personnel and the Treasurer's office is now working day and night to get the notices in the mails. Latest districts mailed were the second ward of Mononahela and Somerset Township.

Being computed in the Treasurer's office are the first wards of both Monongahela and Canonsburg and the third ward of Monongahela.

The world now knows and he knows this is an ceptable demand. The Soviet premier has almost worn out his oft -repeated but never fulfilled threat to meet Allied firmness by signing a separate peace treaty with Communist East Germany and giving local Reds control of the Allied access routes to Berlin.

The time appears to be approaching when he must either whip up a new crisis, with all the danger of war, or accept the Western suggestions for sion-easing arrangements which do not affect basic Allied rights. Khrushchev's decision will have a considerable effect on the future course of East- West tions.
