Mrs. Ruth George, 56, formerly of Sunbury, was found on the rear porch of her first floor apartment in West Philadelphia shortly after noon yesterday. Her slayer slashed her throat, stabbed her twice in the left side of the chest and cut her under the left arm and on the right side before he ransacked a bureau draw. and escaped. Neighbors heard her cries and called police.

Investigators headed by Lt. John Pulcinella said they are operating on the theory robbery was the motive although a wedding ring and diamond engagement ring on Mrs. George's hand were untouched. Before losing consciousness, Mrs. George told neighbors her assailant was a white man who looked at the apartment and then stabbed her.

Mrs. George was owner of the three story apartment building where she had lived for 18 years. About 10 days ago she placed vacant third floor apartment up for rent. Her husband, Henry, was away at work at the time. He is business agent of the Metropolitan District Council, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.

Shortly after the McElroy conference, the Air disclosed intercontinental missile, Force, the Snark, delivered a simulated hydrogen warhead on a target miles from its launching. The announcement said the missile streaked to its target "with unprecedented accuracy" in an Oct. 31 test. "The flight was the world's first known demonstration of a ture intercontinental missile the Air Force statement The Snark, now in production for the Strategic Air Command, is a swept-wing weapon which operates at about the speed of sound.

Late yesterday, a device described as a small test vehicle was fired from the big missile center at Cape Canaveral, Fla. The device was not identified, an informed source said it was quite small. It was the second canaveral firing in two days. A Bomare guided missile was tested there Thursday. The Bomare is an antiaircraft weapon.

Discussing the proposed new space chief post in the Defense Department, McElroy said he hopes the position can be filled within a month, either from civilian or military ranks. He added that the job, which has not yet been given a definite title, will involve the management of what he termed "upstream" type projects such as the antimissile missile, and military applications of space vehicles. One, purpose the of the action in establishing job was curtail rivalry among the armed tor services. McElroy said that Holaday, in his new capacity as missile director, will retain direction over the scientific satellite programs only during the International Geophysical Year, which runs through the end of 1958. Thereafter, McElroy added, the military application of space vehicles will be turned over to the new space boss.

McElroy's reorganization announcement came only a few hours after Dr. James R. Killian was sworn in as President Eisenhower's scientific-military coordinator. Killian, on leave from his job as president of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, declined to comment on the scope of his new White House job. McElroy said he thinks that at the present time, the IRBM "should have our greatest attention." He said that missile is nearest to perfection.

British Flying Boat Crashes (Continued from Page 1) John Berryman, a 44-year-old farmer, and his 16-year-old son, Maxim, were among the first to go into the wreckage, which had 1 slid down the face of a chalk pit and into a wooded area. "Bodies were scattered everywhere," Berryman said. "Between us we pulled out five women and six men." The soldiers "were Berryman said. "They dashed into the flames. Some were singed but they didn't hold back.

They pulled out body after body. It was hell." Priestley, who reached the hillside a little later, said he had heard the plane flying low. "We stopped the car to listen and then we heard a tremendous crash as the plane hit the earth, and we saw a red glow from the flames," he said. Two women survivors, a Mrs. Case and her daughter Sheila, staggered to a nearby farmhouse.

They said passengers had been aware of trouble since the takeoff. "We talked among ourselves wondering why we were still flying instead of making some effort to land," Mrs. Case related. "We realized the crew must also have been worried because we never received instructions to unfasten our safety belts. "All of us had our belts fastened when we crashed.

The plane was on fire before it crashed. "There was no panic. We were all confused. Mrs. Case and her daughter groped in darkness to reach a door of the plane.

Bits of their clothing were still burning when they reached the farmhouse. DON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

There were more "objects" hov- ering over Hazleton last night, according to at least 10 persons who took no stock in an Air Force release which pooh-poohed reports of strange lights and unusual objects in the sky. Three West Hazleton residents claimed to have seen a knobby device which seemed to change color, a family of five said they saw a red and green lighted square object, a nun related she saw a bright orange object, and city woman insists her television reception was impaired by a helicopterlike object which emitted a velvety sound. The claims came last night after an Air Force announcement that it could find no substantiation for various reports of mysterious lights and strange objects.

This is the story told by a West Hazleton man: "I stepped outside for a breath of air at about 11:15 p. m. after watching the news on television when I noticed this bright light in the southeast in the general direction of Easton. "I'd been reading these stories about people seeing things lately and I thought they were having hallucinations or something. Anyway, I ran and got my German binoculars and called to my wife to come outside.

"We took turns looking at it through the glasses and I went across the street and got one of the neighbors. We watched it for about 25 minutes. 'Like A "It looked of these Tinker tinder bars with connecting knobs on between the in ends a triangle or quadrangle shape. It seemed to change color but the top was predominantly red.

It was uncanny. We watched 'till it faded out of sight." The neighbor confirmed the description and both declared emphatically it was not a star, although it was quite distant when first spotted. Earlier, at about 6:40 p. five members of a Hazleton family, three adults and two children, driving over the Stockton Mountain towards this city, reported a square-shaped object with four lights, three red and one green, in that area. Seemed To Glide They, stopped the car and watched it.

It seemed to be gliding very slowly and appeared to be no more than 75 feet high. It was about 40 feet square and made no sound. They watched till it disappeared over the mountain and then continued into the East Diamond avenue section where they stopped to telephone the newspaper office. One of the nuns at St. Joseph Hospital reported seeing a bright orange colored object on Thursday night, similar in appearance to something reported by a Tresckow man.

An East Walnut street woman has a theory of her own about the unidentified object or objects. This is her story: "I was watching television Thursday night when my set began to act up. The picture began to fade out as if the power were being turned off and streaks began to cut across the screen. It was annoying. I had any trouble with the set before.

I heard the sound of a motor overhead, but it wasn't an ordinary airplane. It was kind of a muted, velvety sound like a helicopter. It would go on for a while and then stop. I kept running the back door to the front door trying to see it. but couldn't see anything.

'Kept Acting Up' "The television kept acting up for about a half hour and I kept running from door to door trying to see what was in the air outside. When the sound would stop I half expected the thing to be landing somewhere near the hospital, but I didn't see anything. "I didn't think any more about it until I read something in the paper next day. Then I talked with two of my neighbors and they said they had the same trouble with their television sets, but they didn't look outside. "I see anything, but know wasn't a conventional didn't, airplane because it didn't have that sharp sound.

I'd say it was a helicopter, judging from the sound I heard. I called because I knew a lot of people would doubt that those people saw anything on Thursday night, but I'm sure something was flying around, even though 1 didn't see it." Air Force Report Air Force investigators labeled one of the recently publicized cases a "hoax," and said the others were exaggerations or misunderstandings of natural phenomena. The hoax tag was pinned on a story told by a Kearney, man, who said he toured a space ship manned by a German-speaking crew. "Investigation revealed that local officials consider originator wholly unreliable," the Air Force said in a report issued yesterday. It was reported earlier from Nebraska that the man who told the space ship story had agreed to undergo psychiatric examination.

Auto Stalled The Air Force said another person in the same area reported his automobile stalled. It added, however, a mechanic said work had recently been done on the car, and that part of an old engine rotor could have caused the engine failure. the other cases involved a big glowing object said to have been seen touching ground near Levelland, and to have caused automobiles to stall; similar reports from near Alamogordo, N. bright lights reported seen by a Coast Guard cutter in the Gulf of Mexico, and by military police in the White Sands, N. area.
