41 Cities Targets in Mock Raid President, Staff Retire to Shelter 5 During 'Attack' Radical Socialist Begins Talks With Political Leaders PARIS (U.R) Pierre Men-des-France, an advocate of a quick peace in Indo-China, agreed today to try to form the 20th French government since end of World War II. Mendes-France, leader of the forces that toppled Premier Joseph Laniel on Saturday, accepted an invitation from President Rene Coty form a cabinet. The new premier-designate immediately began talks with political leaders to get the necessary support for confirmation from the badly-divided National Assembly, which voted no confidence in Laniel for his Indo-China policies.

France once again faces the possibility of a long period WASHINGTON (U.R) President Eisenhower hurried into the White House air raid shelter today to take refuge from a fleet of imaginary atomic bombers attacking the United States in the biggest civil defense drill since World War II.

The eerie wail of sirens sounded the red alert iin the capital promptly at' 10:01 a. m. EDT. By prearranged plan, traffic was halted on all downtown streets and police guided pedestrians into shelters. Mr.

Eisenhower, who was working at his White House desk when the alert got up immediately and walked quickly with members of his staff to working quarters in the shelter. During the drill, they worked at their desks and tested telephone, teletype and short wave radio facilities linking the shelter with the outside world. Simultaneously, civil defense workers in New York set a record by clearing Times Square within 70 seconds after the sirens sounded. The operation, in which some 3,000 persons were directed into shelters, was carried out in 30 seconds less time than was required at the last civil defense test. In the realistic New York exer cise.

Officers Elected During St. Edward Alumni Reunion Area Residents Cooperate In Mythical Bomb Attack Reaction of area residents to this morning's mythical air raid attack by enemy bombers was termed "highly satisfactory" by civil defense authorities.

The all clear signal was heard 10 minutes later Local nerve center during the make-believe attack was City Hall Authorities Report HAMBURG, Germany (U.R) The United States High Commission and West German authorities announced that eight tons of anti-air craft shells, bound for Guatemala and presumably shipped from behind the Iron Curtain, had been confiscated in the port of Hamburg.

American authorities in the West German capital at Bonn said the arms shipment was spotted by United States agents, while being shipped overland from Switzerland to be loaded aboard a vessel bound from Hamburg to the Central American repubuic. West German officials confirmed they seized the 20-milimeter shells at the request of United States authorities. American sources said the illicit aims were still being held at Hamburg, hue German sources said they had been returned to Switzerland. The seizure was said to have been made late last month after a large arms shipment from behind the Iron Curtain had reached Guatemala. German authorities were said to have stepped in Just before the arms shipment was to have been loaded aboard a ship bound for Guatemala.

Observers speculated here that the ammunition had come from behind the Iron Curtain Switzerland, it as pointed out, frequently is used as a transit point lor East-west shipments. Switzerland also is known to have flourishing munitions industry of its own and recently supplied to West German border guards ammunition similar to the shells halt ed here. Last May 15, a sizeable shipment of-arm from behind the Iron Curtain was' delivered to Puerto Bar rios, Guatemala. Presumably orig- nating in Czechoslovakia, the arms traveled frcm Stettin, Poland aboard the chartered Swedish ship Alfheim. That shipment alarmed Washing ton, which often has accused the Central American nation of pro-Communist Inclinations.

The United States rushed arms to Guatemala's neighbors. Since then the Guatemalan gov ernment has suspended major con stitutional civil liberties, including tieedom of the press.

Lightning Strikes 2 Area Residences During Heavy Storm Bof Causes Damage To Shamokin Home Two houses, one in Shamokin and the other along Trevorton Road, were struck by lightning early yesterday morning in one of the worst electrical storms to strike the area in several years. The homes were those of Mr.

and Mrs. Herbert Smith, 8 West Dewart Street, and Mr. and Mrs. Harry W. Rebuck, Trevorton Road.

A bolt struck a curtain rod in a bedroom of the Smith home, setting fire to a blind, curtains, wallpaper and woodwork around the window. Mr. and Mrs. Smith beat out the flames with clothing. The husband sustained burns of the hands, but did not seek medical attention.

A bathroom window in the Rebuck home was struck by a bolt, knocking plaster from the wall and shattering an outside window sill. The lightning followed a pipe from the bathroom into the cellar of the house, where two water pipes burst. Mr. and Mrs. Rebuck made an Immediate Investigation after smelling smoke throughout the home.

Damage was slight in both houses and the services of fire companies were not required. Vivid flashes of lightning and unusually loud peals of thunder were preceded by a strong wind which blew limbs from many trees in the city and township. The heavy downpour created small streams of water which washed dirt and other debris onto city and town ship streets from hillside areas.

Dick Owen, program director and announcer for Station WISL, Shamokin, was master cf ceremonies. Another feature of the program was a verbal tribute to William Miller, retired Shamokin City Chief of Police, one of three organizing char ter members of the lodge. Miller was credited in an address by Clem Pat- trick, Mount Carmel police sergeant, as having been instrumental in for mationnof the-area chapter.

They came from behind the bamboo curtain aboard the British vessel pakhol, which brought them here from Shanghai. Crowds of eager relatives and friends clambered aboard the vessel before it could tie up at the former Japanese pier here two hours behind its schedule.

Among those released through British negotiations with Communist Chinese officials was blind, 74-year-old W. C. Whiting, who had prnt 59 years in China.

without a government which could mean a death blow to the Geneva conference. The last cabinet crisis before Laniel's appointment nearly year ago lasted 36 days, during which Mendes-France was among those who tried and failed to form a government. Observers doubted that Mendes-France could win the support of the Assembly's warring political factions despite the urgency for agreeing on new leader quickly. His drastic cures for the country's troubles have earned him many opponents. Mendes-France got a crack at the post under the custom that prescribes the chief opponent of a fallen premier gets the first opportunity to try to succeed him.

Coty did not accept Laniel's resignation immediately after it was offered Saturday. The president, dealing with the first cabinet crisis interviewed some 20 different party leaders and called in Laniel to put a fovmal end to his government only after talking with Mendes-France for an hour and 45 minutes. One of the political leaders Coty talked with was Georges Bidault. a member of the Popular Republican Party, MRP. and foreign minister in Laniel's cabinet.

Bidault told newsmen he will stay in Paris to await the outcome of the government crisis rather than return to Geneva, where he has been the chief French delegate in the nego tiations with the Communists. Mendes France has repeatedly called for an end to the costly seven-year Indo-China war and is known to favor direct negotiations with the Communist Viet Minn forces of Ho Chi Minh.
