CARMEL ITEM. MOUNT CARMEL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1941. PAGE SEVEN. Two Killed JOY In Robbery NEW YORK, Jan. 15 (U.P.)-The DiStefano brothers, known to police as sneak thieves and specialists in 'rolling drunks," gave the city its nost spectacular crime in yearsa hold-up and gun batt'e in which TWO persons were killed and two wounded in the shadow of the Empire State building during the noon hour traffic rush on Fifth Avenue.

The brothers, Angelo DiStefano, 33, and Joseph, 35. were under guard in 8 hospital prison ward. Each had been arrested five times, but neither had been marked as of the dangerous killer type before they entered an elevator in a building across the street from the Empire State, tal'est in the world, and shot down Alfred V. Klausman, 35. yesterday, because he retused to give up his $649 office payroll.

Leaving Klausman dead, they fled to the street, pursued by a crowd screaming. "Hold-up! Murder!" The chase, joined by policemen with drawn guns, led down the aisles of a department store. Policemen shouted "Get down," and clerks and women threw themselves to the floor. Back on the street, Angelo DiStefano went down with a bullet wound in the leg. Patrolman Edward F.

Maher, 52, who shot him, was holding him down with his knee when the wounded robber pulled another gun from his pocket and shot Maher dead. Leonard Weisberg, 39, a taxi driver, grabbed at DiStefano's weapon and missed, and DiStefano shot him through the neck Weisberg's condition was critical, Two other bystanders disarmed the wounded robber and a crowd was at the point of kicking him to death when police dispersed them Meanwhile, Joseph DiStefano had into a five-and-ten-cent store, terrorizing clerks and shoppers there before he was seized by detectives and beaten into submission. Women shoppers flailed at him with their handbags and fists while he was being dragged to a police car. In the chase for Joseph DiStefano. Wiliam C.

Mueller, a bank, guard was shot in the shoulder and the plate glass window was shot out of a store front. The two bandits were found to have been armed with three revo'vers each and one of them carried 50 extra rounds of ammunition. Boys Save Selves From Injury Or Death Presence of mind saved two young boys from injury or possible death at noon today. The youngsters dashed into the path of an automobile on east Sixth street. Realizing they did not have time to avoid the car, they grasped the bumpers of the auto and with their bodies dragging under the vehicle hung on until the auto was brought to a stop.

Larkin (United Press Staff Correspondent) HARRISBURG, Jan. 15.

(U.P.) Pennsylvania motorists will have a vastly different set of motor laws to learn if bills already introduced in the 1941 Legislature are passed. Ten measures were introduced Monday night amending the vehicle code. Some bills would make only minor technical changes, others propose drastic revisions. Principal among the suggested changes is that embodied in a bill submitted by Sen. Charles A.

P. Bartlett. Northampton, which would re-define operator licensing, establish four classes of licenses and reward the careful driver. Sen. John M.

Walker, Allegheny, submitted a bill presenting almost as much revision in a narrower field. Walker's measure would establish a separate license for commercial drivers. Under Bartlett's bill, drivers would hold a class A licenses, bearing their nerfect record, until convicted a major violation. One conviction would reduce the operator to class and return him to class A after a year's perfect driving. A second conviction within a year would make him a class probationary driver, a third would result in issuance of a class license, restricted in several ways.

Walker's bill defines as commercial drivers all those who drive for hire except private chauffers and operators whose driving is strictly incidental to another, major occupation. It sets 21 as the minimum age limit for a commercial driver, establishes July 1 to June 30 as the license year and forces possession of a commercial license to drive for hire. The bill further defines rights, privileges and obligations of the license along much the same lines as ordinary operators' licenses. Rep. Robert D.

Fleming, Allegheny presented a bill to wl'hhold renewal of registration or operating privileges of any driver who failed to pay a fine or appear when summoned for a hearing. With the driver's record stamped on the back of the license, the magistrate entering the fourth conviction of motor code or local ordinance viola ion within one year must report the fact to the state. The retary of Revenue could after a hearing, suspend the license of anyone convicted four times in one year. In addition, the secretary would be empowered to suspend without vic'ed hearing of the violating license the of any 50-mile one conspeed limit, and applicants for licenses would be required to submit with their applicaitons attested lists of motor code and ordinance violation convictions as well as accidents.

Regular $4.50 $2.98 Ban Planned On Evasion Of Pa. Marriage Laws By William P. McDowell (United Press Staff Correspondent) HARRISBURG, Jan. 15. (U.P)Pennsylvania lads and lassies who seek to marry in another state after they are refused a license here will find their love dreams thwarted, if a bill introduced in the Senate this week is enacted.

Submitted by Sen. Howard I. James, Bristol attorney and a bachelor, it is aimed at preventing evasion of state. laws. prohibiting marriage, chiefly.

the one requiring pre-marital blood tests for syphilis. At present men and women who cannot meet Pennsylvania requirements for a marriage certificate can be married in another state. Under Senator James' bill, their marriage would be declared null and void here if they were married elsewhere after failing to meet Pennsylvania standards. Conversely, no couple from another state who failed to comply with marriage law requirements of their own state, could be married legally in Pennsylvania. The bill provides Pennsylvania officials issuing licenses must satisfy themselves that the couple are not prohibited from marrying in their home state.

Any official who issues such a license, knowing that the couple are prohibited from marrying in their their own state, and any person who marries them would be guilty of a misdemeanor and be subject to 6500 fine or a year in jail, or both, under the proposed act. Lieut. Gov. Samuel S. Lewis provoked a laugh in the Senate Chamber when, as presiding officer, he misread the title when it was introduced by Senator James.

"A bill to prohibit he read hurriedly and then stopped and corrected himself after Sen. Anthony Cavalcante, Fayette, quipped: "It's too late!" Health Department officials do not believe that many couples fled to other states to avoid the premartial blood test law, passed by the 1939 Legislature and in effect since last May 17. Twenty states comprising more than 50 per cent of the population of the United States now require health tests ts for prospective brides and bridegrooms. There were 85,982 marriages performed in Pennsylvania in 1939, according to the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the Health Department, which has not yet received figures for 1940 from all county clerks of court. During the 1939 calendar year, 17.4 individuals of every 1,000 population married.

The figure is expected to be higher for 1940 because of improved economic conditions and the desire of some young men to claim marriage as a basis for draft deferment. Chief difficulty in enforcing Senator James' bill probably would arise from the fact there is no federal law requiring states to exchange marriage license information as they do data on births and deaths, it was pointed out. Marriage license statistics are not now regarded as "vital statistics" by the federal government but are of more interest to the sociologist, a bureau spokesman explained. Nevertheless, performing of marriages has attained the status of "big business" in Pennsylvania. Beteen 1906 and 1940 there were 2,329,800 couples who said "I Do" within the borders of the state according to Bureau of Statistics records.

15 (U.P.) One of the most drastic and traversial regulatory bills of the 82 sals before the General Assembly for committee action was introduced by Sen. John M. Walker, Allegheny. Exemptions were freely written into the bill to meet court objections to the original "Fair Sales Act" of 1937 which was invalidated. Walker proposed exemptions for bona fide clearance sales, damaged merchandise so'd as such, able goods sold to forestall loss, government purchases, transactions made to meet legal competition, sales by court order and those to orgauizations having a "charitable or purpose.

Otherwise, sales at or below cost would hazard the seller to a maxmum penalty of $200 fine and costs or 10 days' imprisonment. The bill declares that wholesaleretail sales of goods below cost is an "unfair method of contrary to public policy." Its provisions would become effective 60 days after the Governor signed the bill. Death Claims Thomas 0'Gara Of This City Thomas O'Gara, 70, well known retired mining man, died at his, home, 229 south Locust street, this city, at 8:00 o'clock last night from the effects of a stroke he suffered last September. The funeral will be held Saturday morning from the Higgins funeral home, south Market street, where visitors will be received after 6:00 o'clock tomorrow evening. Mass of requiem will be celebrated in Church of Our Lady at 8:30 o'clock and interment will follow in St.

Mary's cemetery, Beaverdale. Mr. O'Gara was born in York County, a son of the late William and Mary Malloy O'Gara. The family resided in Hazleton, moved from there to Midvalley and later to Mount Carmel. In 1903, he and Mary Ellen Murray, of Centralia, were married.

They moved to Kulpmont in 1911, lived there about 20 years and then returned to Mount Carmel. A man of quiet and unassuming nature, Mr. O'Gara was a former hoisting engineer at the Colonial colliery, Natalie, and was employed at Richards Tunnel prior to his retirement eight years ago. Survivors are his wife, who was rushed to the Jefferson Hospital, Philadelphia, on Saturday, to undergo a major abdominal operation, and, because of her serious condition, has not been informed of her husband's death; four children, William, Francis, Thomas, and Mrs. Susan Walter, all of Mount Carmel; two grandchildren; four brothers and three sisters, Peter, of Mount Carmel, Francis, Annie, Mary, Margaret, of Philadelphia, Patrick, of Hazleton, and Charles.

24 Homeless In $15,000 Fire At Coal Township (Continued from Page One) of flames in the adjoining Nye home. Awakening the rest of the children, Mrs. Griffith fled to the street with her family, all of them shouting an a alarm of fire. An attempt was made to telephone the Main fire company, ten blocks away and when, that failed to get a response, John Miggerbaum ran the ten blocks, entered the hose 1 house and drove the fire truck to the scene himself. He was joined by volunteers and by members of the fire company.

In the reantime, someone else had hastened to the Fairview hose house on Pine street, still farther away, and, upon reaching it, rang an old-time fire bell with a rope on the outside, thus summoning members of the company. The Rescue Company of Shamokin and the Union Company of Tharptown responded to calls but, by the time firemen got several streams of water into the burning homes, the headway was too great and their efforts had to be directed toward saving adjoining properties rather than those obviously doomed. Battling the blaze under extreme hardships, including near-zero weather, the fire-fighters continued to play streams of water into the embers until after daybreak. Although it was not immediately determined what had caused the fire, it was believed to have originated from an over-heated stove in the Nye home. Damage was estimated at $15,000.

Bill Prepared For Regulation Of Anthracite By Morey J. Potter (United Press Staff Correspondent) HARRISBURG, Jan. 15. (U.P.) -Gov.

Arthur H. James' accounting to the public Friday night of the first half of his administration was expected today to yield further clues on what he expects from the 1941 Legislature. This major speech, signalizing the second anniversary of his inaugural, will be delivered by the ernor at an informal dinner for his cabinet at the executive. mansion. It will comprise a "complete summation" of his administration's accomplishments and will be broadcast over a statewide radio network.

Noticably absent from James' opening address to the Legislature Jan. 7 were references to the asserted need of remedial enactments for the ailing anthracite industry and to the education and mental hospital acts the last General Assembly ceferred for two years in the interest of economy--an estimated saving of $9,000,000 a year. Some sources say hard-coal operators prefer continuance of the production allocation plan instituted a year ago with the endorsement of the Governor. Other informants, notably Rep. Harry J.

O'Neill, Lackawanna, chairman of the House Committee on Mines and Mining, assert both the old-line and inde pendent operators are virtually unanimous in favor of a law to regulate coal prices at the mines and facilitate the long-delayed movement to abolish "bootleg" mining which is credited with producing 4,000,000 tons of contraband fuel last year, compared to the 49,591,000 output of legitimate collieries. O'Neill said a regulatory bill approved by the operators a and the United Mine Workers of America will be introduced in the House when the Legislature reconvenes Jan. 27. This measure, O'Neill said, will be similar to the Kane Bill (which cleared the House at the 1939 session and was defeated in the Senate by independent operators who opposed provisions for allocation of tonnage to collieries, but would embody more srtingent clauses relative to "bootleg" mining. It appears unlikely the proposal will reach the floor of either branch for debate before the voluntary allocation plan expires! Jan.

31. "I am advised," O'Neill said, "that the majority of the independents are now sold on the idea of fixing prices and allocating production by statute as the result of the stabilizing influence of the voluntary plan that has operated the last year." Local governmental sub-divisions are vitally interested in the legislative policy, apparently not yet formulated, toward the postponed a 1938 school-hospital special acts legislature passed in by view the of their effect on budgets. These acts will become effective automatically June 1 if the Legislature them, obligating the state to boost payments to school districts by 500,000 a year for vocational training, pupil transportation and tuition; prohibit further county expenditures for care of mental patients in their own institutions, and boost the Welfare Department budget about $4,500,000 a year. Known as the "Byberry Acts," these welfare statutes would give! the Governor authority to "confiscate" 12 city-county mental hospitals for operation by the Welfare Department as state institutions. He would have the option also of closing them without proclaiming state jurisdiction.

State Supreme Court recently upheld constitutionality of the acquisition measures. Under a separate act not appealed to the tribunal, former Gov. George H. Earle placed the Philadelphia Mental Hospital at Byberry under Welfare Department jurisdiction. FOR SALE Start in Business for Yourself!
