THE PLAIN SPEAKER, HAZLETON, WEDNESDAY AFTEKNOONTMAY 22, 1957 PAGE 24 Saw Fire Engine Red Most Complaints During Election Favor Purchase Of Town Water Companies Thos. Leshko To Get Degree City Mail Carrier Dies From Injuries Suffered In Wyoming Street Collision Originated In Hanover iownsnip Tjnnin in vpsterdav's Raiintinff in yesterday Police Probe Death Of Child Born To Unwed Student Nurse trict attorney will question the girl today. Fountain Hill Police. Chief Gus-tave Harrison would not comment on the investigation, pending a report by the district attorney's Lehigh County authorities, are investigating the death of a child born to an unwed student nurse Monday at Luke's Hospital, Fountain Hill. The student is Miss Gail Marie Searfoss, 18, Easton.

She is a patient in the hospital. Police and physicians estimate that the child, a boy, was born about 1:45 P. m. Monday, an hour after Miss Searfoss was admitted for treatment of ivy poisoning. The baby was found alive in a drawer of a bedside stand about a half an hour after its birth.

It died at 6:30 p. m. Dr. Russell Rinker, deputy coroner, said: "I think death was caused by external violence." He added that further examinations have been made. There was an inch-long wound on the child's neck.

The office of Lehigh County dis Wolfe, Miller Win In North Union A large majority of Jim Thorpe voters favor purchase of two water companies in the borough. The ballot, although not official, was a sentiment vote on the purchase of Mauch Chunk and Upper Mauch Chunk water A decision to place the question before the voters was made by borough council when a series of public meetings failed to provide an over-all sentiment on the purchase. The purchase was proposed when it was learned a boost in water rates was planned by water company officials to improve the system. Residents and borough officials demanded an improved system after a fire destroyed several prop erties last December. Lack of water pressure was alleged to be the cause of most of the fire damage.

Coty Seeks New French Premier (Continued from Page 1) and former Premier Rene Pleven, leader of a splinter group affil iated with the so-called Leftist Rally. It was thought either might win with the support of both Mollet's Socialists and the conservative In dependent Republicans, whose op position caused the defeat of Mollet's government. Because the Assembly membership is divided among so many factions, any Cabinet needs the support of both par ties to command a majority. Normally Coty would call on the Independent Republican leader, former Premier Antoine Pinay, to form a new Cabinet because his party brought down Mollet's government. But after what happened yesterday, Pinny's chances of getting Socialist backing were virtually nonexistent The Assembly voted 250-213 yesterday to reject Mollet's proposals for new taxes and cuts in the non-military budget to provide more than a billion dollars for the French campaign against the Al gerian nationalist rebles.

Truck, Automobile In Crash On No. 6 Hill A truck, owned by the City Beverage Pottsville, operated by Joe Wituszynski, Port Carbon, and a car, driven by Mark J. Levine, 567 James street, figured in a collision yesterday afternoon about 4:45 on No. 6 Hill. Patrolman Steve Gondell said the Levine vehicle crashed into the rear of the truck as they were both traveling south at the time.

Levine told the officer he was distracted by the sound of a horn on another car approaching from the opposite direction. His car was towed to a local garage. SODALITY TO MEET A meeting of the Blessed Virgin Mary Sodality of St. Gabriel's church will be held tomorrow night at 7:30 at the parish school.

Cabinet Split Over Doctrine JERUSALEM CP Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion sought today to repair a split in his coalition Cabinet resulting from the govern ment's endorsement of the prin ciples of the Eisenhower Middle East Doctrine.

A government communique is sued last night said Israel "welcomes the support of the United States for the preservation of the independence of Middle East and for the development of economic strength dedicated to the maintenance of their independence." The Eisenhower plan offers economic assistance and military aid if requested to halt further Communist penetration of the Middle East. Two left-wing Socialist parties in the five-member coalition, the Mapam and Achdut Avoda, voted against support of the doctrine and threatened to force a fight in a foreign policy debate scheduled Monday in Parliament. Ben-Gurion apparently hoped to get them to abstain in the parliamentary procedure, a course that would let them remain in the government. Should they vote against the government policy, Ben-Gur ion would have to oust them from the Cabinet. That might force him to form a new government or hold elections, both of which he is anxious to avoid.

IKE'S CHAIRMAN LOSES GETTYSBURG, Pa. (JP) The Republican chairman in President Eisenhower's adopted Pennsylvania county was defeated in the primary election yesterday for nomination as county treasurer. William I. Shields, Adams County chairman and a former county treasurer, lost to Clark Spence, a soft drink distributor from Orr-tana, in the GOP primary. The vote was Eisenhower, registered in the county, did not vote.

Should Recognize One Of Stolen Motorcycles DALLAS (P) Houston police have asked their Dallas counter parts to be on the lookout for three juveniles believed vacationing here. The trio, all 14 to 15 years old, stole three high-speed motor cycles. They should be easily rec ognized. One motorcycle is paint ed white and is equipped with red lights, siren, and a two way Houston police radio. Flowers for is Dr.

Frederick Pearson, chief fo the hospital obstetrical staff, discovered the birth. He had been called into consultation when Miss Searfoss complained of internal pains to Dr. William Refowich, the attending physician. The birth took place in a private room in the isolation ward. Richard L.

Suck, hospital man ager, summoned police. They be lieve the student was unassisted in the delivery of the child. No instrument was found in the room. Miss M. Naomi Houser, director of nurses, said the girl's condition had been observed several weeks ago.

Ike States Planned Cuts (Continued from Page 1) time answering questions about the administration's budget for the fiscal year starting July 1. But he also dealt with Ithese other matters: LEADERSHIP Eisenhower said he never has even considered asking Sen.

Knowland of California, or anyone else, to resign from a position of congressional leadership because of disagreement with him. Knowland is the GOP Senate leader. As for differences with party leaders in Congress, Eisenhower said he personally is committed to support of the Republican party's 1956 platform. He added with emphasis that he intends to stand by that platform. And he said he has no intention of ever going behind the backs of Republican congressional leaders in an effort to get his program through.

However, he added, he feels he is not barred from talking to in dividual members of Congress along that line, so long as he no tifies the leaders regarding his in tentions. POLITICS Eisenhower said he always endeavors to support all Republican nominees for congress because he feels so strongly that both the White House and the legislative branch should be controlled by the same party. He went on to say, that when it comes to who he is for enthusiastically for congressional office and who he is just for, that is another matter. Big Political Upset In Tamaqua GOP Figlit Robert W. Hartwig, longtime political leader in Tamaqua, and his running mate Thomas Dau-bert, were defeated yesterday in one of the biggest upsets in Tama-qua's political history.

Winners of two GOP school board seats, by large margins, were E. Franklin Griffiths, mortician, and Rev. Charles Mathias, pastor of St. John's Lutheran church, Tamaqua, both political newcomers. MAR BETH COURT NO.

Legislature Faces New (Continued from Page 1) final adjournment in mid-June. It Is expected to put the appropriation bills containing the budget cut on the floor today. Republican leaders continued to maintain that the proposed cut was justified and necessary. Wood defended in particular the 27-mil-lion-dollar cut in the appropriation requested for the Welfare Department. He said the state's system of mental health hospitals would continue to be the "finest anywhere." Each of the five who voiced opposition to the Republican plan urged reconsideration.

"I urge in all sincerity," said Frazier in his wire to Wood, "that you use your good office and influence to reconsider the recommendations of the Appropriations Committee." Foose asked for "an opportunity for citizens of the state to be heard on this important matter before a House vote is scheduled." EDS? Will stand) DeedsRecorded William F.

AT HOSPITAL ASSEMBLY Sister Dulcis and Sister Lamber-tine of St.

Joseph Hospital, this city, are attending the Middle Atlantic Hospital Assembly being held this week at Convention Hall, Atlantic City. Explosion At Missile Base COCOA. Fla. UP) A "mild ex plosion" occurred at Patrick Air Force Base last night during a guided missile firing operation. Mai.

Gen. Daniel Yates, base commander, said no one was hurt. Yates described the incident as a "mild explosion and fire con nected with a missile firing. A "big flash" accompanied the explosion. A reporter asked if it could be considered unusual.

"If vou could count the number of fires and explosions we've had in the past few months, you would consider it a common occur rence," the general replied. Col W. E. Elder, Yates' assistant, also described the firing as "essentially" routine. Patrick AFB is the nation's largest guided missile center.

In Washington, Air Force head-auarters said the missile was "accidently destroyed by fire" and that there was "superficial damage to the test stand. An Air Force spokesman said the accident occurred before any attempt was made to launch the missile and that the fire started in the highly volatile chemical fuels used to set off the missiles, rather than in the missile itself. The type of missile was not disclosed. Radio-Telegraph Co. Is 'Egyptianizcd' CAIRO WV-The Marconi radiotelegraph and cable organization in Egypt chiefly British-owned has been taken over by the Egyptian government.

Communications Minister Mus-tapha Khalil announced yesterday the firm was being "Egyptian-ized" and now is the Foreign Communications Department of the Ministry of Communications. He said the Marconi concession to operate in Egypt expired last January. The organization handles telegraphed communications in and out of Egypt, including the transmission of news dispatches. It had been sequestered since the British-French attack on Egypt last fall. Khalil said banks had been instructed to transfer Marconi assets into the central bank at Cairo and Alexandria.

Anis el Baradei, an Egyptian engineer, was appointed director of the "Egyptian-ized" organization. The British Foreign Office in London had no immediate comment, asserting "it's all news to us."
