He was admitted to the hospital on Sunday. scribed his experiences as a scout Housing (Continued from Page 1 ance is requested, in the development of metropolitan area plans," he said. Johnson said one of the most vital needs of metropolitan areas is basic community facilities for water and sewage. He said many existing systems are obsolete and need major rehabilitation.

To remedy this situation he asked $100 million in matching funds for the next fiscal year. Another proposal was a federal program for financial assistance to metropolitan areas in acquiring land for public buildings and other facilities. Federal grants would be made available to cover the in terest charges for five years on loans obtained by public bodies to acquire land. Johnson said this would cover the cost during the period before facilities are constructed. Johnson also urged a program of federally insured private loans to finance the acquisition and development of land for entire new communities and planned subdivisions.

"This program should enable us to 1 build better suburbs," Johnson said. "And it will also make it easier to finance the construction of brand new communities on the rim of the city. Often such communities can help break the pattern of city ghettos by providing low- and moderate-income housing in suburban areas. He proposed an institute of urban development as part of the new Department of Housing and Urban Development. He said the institute would help support training of local officials in a wide range of administrative and program skills.

It also would support research aimed especially at reducing costs of building and home construction through the development of new technology, Johnson said. Another recommendation was for establishment of a temporary National Commission on Codes, Zoning, Taxation and Development Standards. "I predict that the body masked by such an unwieldy name may emerge with ideas and instruments for a revolutionary improvement of the quality of the American city," Johnson wrote. In the past, Johnson said, "we have concentrated almost all effort on building new units, when it is often possible to im prove, rebuild and rehabilitate existing homes with less cost and less human dislocation. Even some areas now classed as slums can be made decent places to live with intensive rehabilitation." In this connection he recom mended a change in the public housing formula so that public housing funds may be more readily available to acquire and rehabilitate existing dwellings and to permit local authorities to lease standard housing for low-rent families.

He said this would assist particularly in providing housing for large fami lies. Johnson urged that urban re newal funds be made available to permit low-income home owners to repair their homes treated to a day on the campus of Bucknell University, The trip was made possible through the efforts of Atty. Kenneth Bayless, who made the arrangements with Robert Latour, athletic director and swim team coach at Bucknell.

Latour escorted the local boys on a tour of Bucknell's physical facilities and then gave a half-hour talk oh the training program for the university's swimmers.

After lunch, the group saw Bucknell host West Chester State College in a varsity swim meet. Bucknell defeated West Chester by a score of 60 to 34, and four school and three pool records were smashed. The erouD saw one of the nation's great 200-yard butterfly swimmers, Jim Smigie, break his own record to become one of three eastern collegiate swimmers ever to swim the distance under two minutes. A freshman swim meet followed, and Bucknell also won this contest. In the evening, the swimmers attended both the varsity and junior varsity basketball contests between Bucknell and Lehigh University, Bethlehem.

Bucknell won the varsity game and Lehigh, the jay-vee Grand Jury Gets Mussoline Case The charge against Anthony Mussoline, a city policeman, of malicious mischief by explosives, was scheduled to be heard by the Grand Jury at 11 o'clock this morning in Wilkes-Barre.

Beemer, 62, was stricken at his Oxford Township home while playing cards Sunday night. He died early Monday morning. Brace Beemer Beemer was the third man to play the masked Western hero.

He took over the part in 1932, about six months after it had been started on WXYZ in Detroit. For the next 17 years, or for most of the period until the Lone Ranger was dropped as a radio show in 1955, Beemer and his "great horse Silver" rode the airwaves. He was not associated with the television or movie versions. The program always started with the theme from the "William Tell Overture," the thud of hoofbeats and the blast of pistol shots, with a voice saying 'a fiery horse with the sped of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty 'Hi Yo the Lone Ranger rides again." From there, Beemer's deep voice carried youngsters through adven tures in the timeless West. Unlike today's Westerns, the Lone Ranger never killed an outlaw.

Accompa nied by his Indian friend, Tonto, he shot the guns from outlaws' hands and knocked them out with his fists. After quelling the bad guys' the Lone Ranger and Tonto rode away without waiting for thanks, leav ing a silver bullet as a trademark. Since 1955, Beemer had lived in this southeast Michigan commun ity, raising thoroughbred horses and subdividing land as a con tractor. His white horse, Silver, was retired to pasture here. Appointment of Mine Inspector Rescinded The recent appointment of George Wesley, Hunlock Creek, as a state coal mine inspector for the northern anthracite region was rescinded yesterday by Gov.

Scranton. Scranton took the action on a recommendation of Secretary of Mines H. Beecher Charmbury after an investigation disclosed Wesley had been convicted of a mining law violation in 1957 which he did not list on his application. At the time of the violation, Wesley was employed at Glen Alden's Loomis Colliery. In June 1957 one worker was killed and four burned in a gas explosion.

Later, two other men died. Wesley was charged with driving a mine chamber over the 60-foot limit required by law without having a satisfactory cross-cut in a parallel section. Boys Against (Continued from Page 1) administration, would serve both Kenyon and the proposed women's college. John Schofield of Philadel phia, and Tom Carr of Evanston, 111., don't like the idea. Both prefer dating on the weekends and studying hard during the week.

They don't want female distractions. Carr said most Kenyon men don't want the "obligation of dressing carefully and having steady dates." Most Kenyon men date girls from Denison, Ohio Wesleyan, Ohio State University, Chatham College and Lake Erie College for Women. The closest school with women students is about 25 miles. Lake Erie College at Paines-ville, Carr said, is "only three hours hitchhiking time." 4 In the past 3 years. 2 months and one day, about 2300 boys and eirls have appeared before Judge Richard Bigelow in Luzerne Coun ty Juvenile Court, Judge Eigelow told the West Hazleton Parent Teachers Association last evening Introduced by Program Chair man Mvron Marsch.

Quebec Natural Gas officials said there was no proof natural gas caused the blast, but that an investigation was in progress. Eighteen of the 24 apartments in the sprawling U-shaped building vanished in the blast, which created a 20-foot-deep crater filled with rubble. The building's six other apartments burned and were knocked down by power shovels.

Fifty apartments in other buildings were damaged. In some, interior walls crumbled or split, forcing the residents to evacuate. A welfare center for homeless families was set up at a nearby school. Other homeless persons were taken to downtown hotels. Business Hours: 9:00 to 5:00 Daily to 9:00 Wed.
