MOUNT CARMEL HOLDS STAGE IN MACHINE TRIAL Testimony by Mount Carmel election board members and workers held the spotlight today and yesterday at the $125,000 voting machine trial in Federal court at Lewisburg resulting from a suit brought by the Commercial Credit Company, Baltimore, against Northumberland County seeking payment for the devices which were discarded after two elections in 1932. All testimony ran along the same line, that the machines were defective, that they jammed, that mechanics were kept busy repairing them and that there was no privacy for voters in some instances because the curtains did not operate properly. Among those who testified for the county were George O'Donnell, F. G. Ruffing, Frank Thomas, Ira Zimmerman, Mrs.

Myrtle Adams, E. J. Mincato, Royal Phillips, William Coyle, Charles Rettinger, Mrs. Mabel Lubold, George Carmitchell and James Dugan. Their testimony was similar to that previously offered by residents of Shamokin, Sunbury and Northumberland.

the same time, two of the voting machines, held in storage at the county courthouse since their discard, were presented in court and explained in detail by E. B. Sklar, Baltimore, an expert at one time affiliated with the defunct Poole Engineering and Construction Company, manufacturer of the devices. The session yesterday marked the first time that court had been held on a legal holiday, Memorial Day. WOMAN DIES AT LAVELLE Mrs.

HOPE VANISHES FOR MISSING OCEAN FLIER LONDON, May 31, (U.P) The only remaining hope for Thomas Smith, the American youth who took off from Old Orchard Beach, in a 65-hoursepower airplane Sunday on a projected trans-Atlantic flight, was that he might have landed alongside some small ship that had no radio to report his rescue. The 40-hour supply of gasoline169 galions -that the plane carried would long since exhausted and it was certain he been, had been forced down. His take-off was at 4:50 a.m. Sunday.

Among several rumors about the plane having been sighted, all of which lacked confirmation, was one contained in a telegram given to the air ministry by authorities at Croyldon Airport. It was from an undisclosed place in Wales and said that an unidentified airplane had been sighted over the Welsh mountains Monday night. The informant believed the flier might have crashed into a peak. The air ministry had no information on such a crash. Rudolph Ruedinger, of Philadelphia, was a Memorial Day visitor at the home of Mr.

and Mrs. Joseph Delaney, Fourth and Hickory streets. EXCHANGE COUPLE WED Mr. Andrulewicz and Miss Clara Kaminski, highly esteemed residents of Exchange, were married by the Rev. John Janczukiewicz yesterday morning at 9:00 o'- clock in Our Mother of Consolation Church.

Labor Directs Bitter Attacks On Revised Act (Continued from Page One) changes in the existing statute to: Outlaw sit-down strikes. Empower Labor and Industry Secretary Lewis G. Hines to exercise veto power over rules and regulations of the State Labor Relations Board. Require the board to investigate disputes upon petition of employers as well as upon petition of labor unions or 30 per cent of the employes of an affected unit. Permit craft unions within an industry to choose their own bargaining agents.

Make it unfair labor practice for employes to coerce others in choice of union membership, joint a sitdown strike, damage employer's property or coerce an employer into acceding to labor's demands. Forbid "check off" of union dues from the pay of workers without written consent of the worker. Prohibit labor board members from engaging in business or political activity and from holding office in a labor union. Proponents of the measure contended the revised act only gives industry some degree of rights as granted labor in the 1937 enactment. It was pointed out that the sitdown strike ban puts the state in line with a recent ruling of the United States Supreme Court lawing the form of strike.
