Stephen Woznlak, 19, 1530 Second Avenue, Berwick, operator of a motorbike, and Marie DeFido, 19, of 926 Monroe Street, Berwick, a passenger, were Injured when they collided with a car operated by Joseph J. Romanofski, 54, of 54 Spruce Street, Wilkes Barre. Romanofski, was uninjured.

According to Mount Carmel police, Romanofski, traveling south on Market Street, was in the process of making a left turn onto Fifth, when Wozniak, traveling in the same direction, allegedly attempted to pass him, causing the motorbike to crash into the left side of the car. The impact occurred in the center of the intersection. Both youngsters were thrown from the bike, Miss Defido was OPEN AIR MARKET HOUSE? Mayor Lawton Shroyer's suggestion to City Council last night that Shamokin's curbstone market be taken off Independence Street has merit. The city chief executive suggestion, which he admits was fostered by someone else, is to have the curbstone market transferred to a secondary street. Our thinking on the proposed change is why not have the entire curbstone market re-located in the new parking lot where the Reading Railroad company's station was located.

Here the market would be confined within a one-block area in which farmers could park and display their products on four sides of the parking area. This change could very well create a "roofless market house." If space in the parking lot would not be sufficient to accommodate all farmers, the parking area on the north side of Independence Street adjacent to the community parking lot could be utilized. Shamokin's curbstone market, especially that on Saturday mornings, has long been a community institution, so as to speak. It is a place where friends meet and where farm products, meats, flowers, are sold all lending itself to somewhat of a carnival atmosphere. Many communities have market houses where farmers sell their products indoors Shamokin could come rather close to the same thing with an "open air market house." Supervisors of Mount Carmel Township today were definitely on record in opposition to dumping garbage in the area.

A motion to the effect was unanimously adopted during a special meeting of the board last night. The motion, made by Samuel Scicchitano and seconded by Robert Kulick, secretary, instructed the solicitor, Attorney Charles M. Menapace, to prepare and 'advertise In The Item an ordinance to prohibit or regulate dumping in the township. Another member of the board, Joseph Serovich, president, concurred. The ordinance will be prepared and advertised within seven days, Menapace said.

The action against the dump proposal followed a brief caucus of the supervisors. As the special session opened, had been forced by the mer cenaries to fly wounded soldiers to Kariba, Rhodesia The fighting in Kisangani. Roller added, "was very vicious out the morale of the mercena ries was very high." ine Aisangani airport was reported encircled by Congolese troops, but Mobutu said he had ordered his soldiers to hold their fire because of the hostages. The rescue plane was one of three C130 transports sent to Mobutu by President Johnson in response to a Congolese plea for military aid irom the United States. The dispatch of the planes with 150 Americans to the Congo touched off an uproar in the U.S.

Congress Monday. Both Vi. etnam doves and hawks criti cized the action. The Johnson administration turned down a Nigerian request for military aid to help put down a rebellion by that country's southeast sector, which has proclaimed itself an inde pendent state called Biafra. The State Department said Mrs- Andrew (Faith) City Man Fined For Violating Old Car Regulation Arrested by Chief of Police George Sage for violation of a regulation against parking abandoned cars on city streets, Carl Beddo, of 627 Diamond Street, Shamokin, was assessed fine and costs in a hearing before Alderman Howard Pickering at 3:00 p.m.

yestorday. Beddo was charged with having parked an unused automobile on Adam Street near Seventh for a long period. Sounding a warning to owners of other abandoned cars, particularly persons who have ignored notices to remove such parked vehicles from streets, the police chief said prosecution will be instituted unless there is immediate compliance with the provision as set forth in the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code. Chief Sage has given owners of abandoned parked cars ample notice by sending thm the following form letter which, after identifying the car and stating its location, adds: "This is in violation of Section 1042 of the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code which states "it shall be unlawful for any person to abandon a vehicle on or along any highway or on property other than his own except where the property is a junk or scrap yard. A vehicle which has remained on such property without the consent of the owner or a-long any highway for a period exceeding thirty (30) days shall be prima facie evidence of such "Penalty.

'Any person violat ing any of the provisions of this section shall, upon summary conviction before a magistrate, be sentenced to pay a fine of one hundred dollars ($100) and; costs of prosecution and, in de fault of payment thereof, shall undergo imprisonment for not more than twenty (20) "Unless the vehicle is moved in five days proceedings will be started to prosecute under section 1042 of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code." Greek Dictators to Retire Ambassador ATHENS (AP) The new military regime is retiring the Greek ambassador to the United Nations, Alexios Liatis, and four other key ambassadors. More ambassadors may lose their jobs soon, a reliable source said. The regime gave no reason for retiring the ambassadors in its announcement of the move Monday, but it is known their loyalty has been in doubt since the April 21 coup. Kulick explained the meeting had bpen called to receive in- formatwn concerning the dumping of garbage in the township. Kulick said he had contacted Milton DeLancey, secretary of Pennsylvania Association of Township Supervisors, requesting any information on copies of similar ordinances.

DeLancey, according to Kulick, replied he would comply at once and forward copies in the mail. They were expected to arrive today. Solicitor Menapace reported he made a research, as asked, and found the supervisors have the authority to regulate such matters despite the fact some boards have encountered diffi-culities. Menapace brought out that a state court has allowed refuse to come in from outside a town ship and another case limiting an area although landfill operations were in effect several years. Attorney Menapace said he thought another point was adop tion of an ordinance but that constitutional i rements must be reasonably met, that it can not be discriminatory.

Those things, the solicitor stated, covered the main noints in his research Originally, the case came to the foreground because of a re port that the Reading Railroad Company planned to transport garbage from Philadelphia and dump it in an abandoned mine stripping at Locust Summit, south of Mount Carmel. Residents of the area, later joined by those of other communities throughout the region, contended that such conditions would create an unhealthy situation. The special meeting last night was held in the office of Solici tor Menapace in Woolworth building, Fourth and Oak Streets, and lasted an hour and one half until the different angles were aired.

SAIGON (AP) Almost 1.000 North Vietnamese regulars partly overran South Viet namese base camp today then were hurled back into the jungle with losses of at least 116 killed and many more reported wounded and dragged away. Striking before dawn, two North Vietnamese battalions rushed toward the barbed wire and sandbagged bunkers and cut through one corner of the defense perimeter. For more than an hour the fighting was savage. One South Vietnamese soldier had his wife and two children In his bunker: the wife was killed by a charging Red soldier who was then killed by the South Vietnamese trooper. A few hours earlier an Amerl.

can paratrooper force stumbled Into a fortified ambush in the central highlands and suffered 26 dead and 49 wounded. The Americans reported only six of the enemy killed. The ground fighting intensified as Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara completed his five-day inspection tour of Viet A high U.S. source said he would not recommend sending all the 100,000 to 140,000 additional U.S.

troops Gen. William C. Westmoreland reportedly asked for. At a news conference before flying back to Washington, McNamara said U.S. policy is still to "provide the troops our commanders think necessary." But he added: "What is necessarv depends on the extent to which we are using the resources we have available to us." Noting that the allied forces have more than a million men under arms, including 466,000 Americans, he said there are many ways open to increase the effectiveness of those men if we set our minds and hearts to it." The secretary was reliably reported to have urged limited integration of Vietnamese troops into U.S.

units to Bet the Saigon army to handle a bigger share of the fighting. The North Vietnamese attack on the South Vietnamese camp in Binh Long Province, north of Saigon, was aimed directly at the lagging pacification program which was one of McNam-ara's main concerns, The camp is manned by a battalion charged with protecting pacification workers in surrounding villages and hamlets. U.S. headquarters said the American paratroopers who were hit in the central highlands Monday evidently marched into! a well fortified enemy position in the rainy jungles. After pasting the U.S.

troops for two hours with mortars and small arms, the North Vietnamese unit faded into the jungle toward the Laotian frontier a few miles to the Southwest. Before dawn today U.S. Air Force pilots claimed a major success along the Mu Gia Pass in North Vietnam. They caught about 70 Red supply trucks in the open with flares, bombed and strafed them, and reported destruction of at least 27 trucks as well as fires and explosions throughout the area. The trucks were evidently part of a major convoy headed through the pass toward Laos and the Ho Chi Min trail south along the Vietnamese border, Thant Issues Report on Israel UNITED NATIONS, N.Y, (AP) Mounting pressure on Israel to undo its annexation of the Old City of Jerusalem was expected today as U.N.

Secretary-General Thant prepared to issue a report on the situation there. Under a resolution the Gener al Assembly adopted last Tues day night, Thant had until to night to report to the assembly and the Security Council wheth er Israel had heeded the assem bly's call to rescind its merger of New and Old Jerusalem. Israel's five-page reply to the resolution was delivered to Thant Monday night. The reply was kept secret, but the Israeli government has said repeatedly it would preserve the unity of the Israeli sector of Jerusalem and the occupied Jordanian sec tor, the site of most of the holy places. Moslem countries were expected to submit a new resolu tion to the General Assembly when it resumes its emergency session on the Middle East Wednesday.

The collision involved a car operated by Mrs.

Sadie M. Miles 103 North Marshall Street, Shamokin, and a parked auto owned by Kimber C. Weise, 633 Gowen Street, Shamokin. The investigating officer, Patrolman Robert Mrowka, said Mrs. Miles had stopped on Pine Street in front of the Foltz service station to have her car serviced.

She was moving from behind the wheel to the passenger side of the front seat, to permit a station attendant to drive her home, when she accidentally stepped on the accelerator pedal. The car darted forward across the intersection of Coal Street and, before the woman could gain control, crashed head-on into the Weise car which was parked at the curb on the south side of Pine Street near Coal. Most of the damage was to the Weise car, a 1963 Valks- wagen. The fronts of both damaged, vehicles had to be towed from the scene. The impact of the crash pushed the small car into a third parked auto which, however, was not damaged.

Mrs. Miles, who was driving a 1935 model sedan, complained of chest and leg pains and said she would see a doctor to be checked for any possible injuries.

YEAR! wum rebellion was purely internal while foreign mercanaries were involved in the Congo Refugees in Rwanda from the eastern Congo city of Bukavu, the other center of the uprising. disputed the Congolese govern ment claim that mercenaries parachuted into the area had started the trouble there. The refugee white settlers said the mercenaries involved were army officers who had been on the goverment payroll for years, and that the rebels were troops from Katanga Province who were believed reacting to the kidnaping of Ka- tangan leader Moise Tshombe.

The refugees said the mercena ry officers were outnumbered and had to go along with the rebellion.

Brandt Defends His Plan to Cut Army BONN, West Germany (AP) West Germany will be able to keep up its commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization even if it cuts its army, Foreign Minister Willy Brandt said Monday. But he stressed that so far the government has decided only to prune the defense budget, not to scale down the army. According to reliable estimates, however, the 1968 defense slash of $500 million will result in a reduction of troops from the army.

Brandt said that "fighting power is not dependent on numbers alone." He gave as an example the U.S. decision to rull 35,000 troops out of West Ger many while claiming that fighting power would not be impaired. EARN extra cash by selling donl wants with a Want Ad.

Two Men Killed By Red Gangs in Hong Kong Raid HONG KONG (AP) Com munist gangs, stepping up their terror tactics in an effort to keep Hong Kong's transport workers off the job, killed two men and set fire to two street cars and three buses in a series of postmidnight attacks today.

Hundreds of frightened bus and streetcar operators stayed home despite government promises of "effective protection" for those who reported for work. Transport Commissioner A.J. Shephard declined to say what protective measures were being taken "because we do not want to reveal our plans until they become Chinese claiming Communist contacts in this British colony said local Communist leaders planned "two or three killings a day'' to try to scare transport workers off their jobs. The informants said the terror campaign was planned after a Communist strike last month failed to halt transport. The failure, regarded as a setback for Hong Kong's Red leaders, roused the ire of Peking, which increased its propaganda attacks against the British regime.

Britain has accused Red China of using its armed forces in the start of the new violence Saturday, when five Hong Kong policemen were killed in a machine-gun attack from across the border on a frontier village.
