(AP) A pris-oner dug through two- feet of concrete to break out of his Northumberland County jail cell early today, took a bottle of whisky from the warden's office and then climbed to the roof where he apparently started a fire, officials report. The fire damaged the third floor rear of the prison. No prisoners were held there.

State Police, carrying shotguns, brought John Raymond Hice, of Philadelphia, down from the roof. Warden Floyd Bycoskie said Hice told him he had started chopping out the concrete on Saturday, and made a two-foot hole through which he crawled. The flames damaged the slate roof of the 94-year-old prison. Hice is being held on a firearms charge.

"It was just like his wild' night at the Sands Hotel," a witness to the incident told the newspaper, referring to a night in September 1967 when Sinatra quarreled with a Sands executive and was punched in the jaw. Sinatra, who had sung at the Sands for 16 years, has appeared only at Caesars Palace since then. "He was playing baccarat for a pop hand," the witness said in a story written by the newspaper's editor, Don DigUio.

"The limit is usually $2,000. And when he wanted to raise the limit to $16,000 and play on credit, the beef started." Witnesses said the 54-year-old singer was playing cards about 5 a.m. Sunday when he began shouting. When the hotel's executive vice president, Sandford Waterman, began talking with him, they exchanged threats, the witnesses said. Then, they said, Waterman ended the commotion by pointing a gun at Sinatra.

Waterman could not be reached for comment. Sidney Gathrid, public relations spokesman for Caesars, said he knew nothing of the reported incident. Sinatra began a three-week engagement at Caesars Palace Thursday night. Gathrid said he did not show up for performances Sunday night. Sinatra's agent, Jim Mahoney, said in Los Angeles that Sinatra had canceled his engagement but said he singer had nbt mentioned a dispute.

Mahoney said Sinatra canceled for reasons including fatigue and the fact that he is recovering from a hand operation. The casino agreed to postpone the engagement, Mahoney said. Sinarta was resting in Palm Springs of Los Angeles, Mahoney said. Sinatra will have to get an entertainer's work permit and answer a few questions before he sings in Las Vegas again, Sheriff Ralph Lamb says. Waterman was booked Monday for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon and released without bail.

He declined comment on the incident. "If Sinatra comes back to town," Lamb said, "he's coming downtown to get a work card." And, said the sheriff, "if he gives me any trouble, he's going to jail."

As it is, the Army alone has given out in Vietnam 317,670 bronze stars in all, compared with 73,464 in Korea and 395,379 in World War U.

The first and only medal in the Army for several decades was the Purple Heart, create'" by George Several times it faded in use and bad to be revived by special order. The only medal in the Civil War was the Medal of Honor and there were abuses. When the honor gained in stature, thousands of names were purged from early lists. The third highest gallantry award, behind the Medal of Honor and the distinguished service was the silver star. It began going to men "mentioned in dispatches in World War The rest of the Army's 10 decorations followed soon after.

A Vietnam veteran, Marine Brigadier General Herbert Beckington, accounts for the hike in leatherneck awards by pointing out the Vietnam conflict has been a long and often bloody war. More men have fought in it, and there is more day to day fighting, he said. A distortion in the figures comes in one category, the Air Medal. It was given out less frequently when helicopters weren't around. But in Vietnam everyone rides in helicopters and for the Marines alone this has accounted for 80 percent of the decorations.

Here's some comparative award categories for the Army: Medal of Honor, 293 in World War II, 78 in Korea, 73 in Vietnam; silver star, 73,651 in World War 10,064 in Korea, 17,178 in Vietnam; air medal, 1.1 million in World War when the Air Force was the Army, 8,504 in Korea, and 647,334 in Vietnam.

Ky has accepted an invitation to attend an Oct. 3 rally in Washington by supporters of U.S.

(AP)-Gov. Sha- fer and members of his cabinet have expressed shock and grief over the sudden death of State Commerce Secretary William T. Schmidt. Schmidt, one of the younger mem bers of Shafer's cabinet, died Sunday morning at Scranton State General Hospital. He was 47.

The governor called on all Penn- sylvanians to set aside Wednesday as "a day of mourning for this great Pennsylvania citizen." Schmidt served in the state post since Jan. 5 when he was appointed by Gov. Shafer to succeed Robert M. Mumma, who resigned. Funeral services have been sched uled for Wednesday at the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Camp Hill.

A viewing for the one time Scranton mayor and political ally of former Gov. William W. Scranton, has been scheduled at the Howard J. Snowden Funeral Home here today. Shafer said in his statement," Bill Schmidt was one of the most dedi cated public officials I have known in my lifetime.

He worked around the clock to improve Pennsylvania and made our citizens proud of our state. That he has died so suddenly is shocking to my family and my self, for Bill Schmidt was not only a loyal Secretary of Commerce in my cabinet, but also a close persnoal friend." Schmidt ran for mayor of Scranton in 1961 on the Republican ticket, and with the backing of Scranton, then a U. S. Representative, he hand ily unseated four-term Democratic favorite James T. Hanlon.

After serving one term, he was defeated by De-nocrat James Walsh. Shortly after the defeat in 1966, Schmidt as named the state's representative to the Appalachian Commission, a pest he held until shortly before his appointment as a deputy secretary of commerce. As commerce secretary, Schmidt served on 38 boards and -commis sions and headed the $20 million a year Pennsylvania Industrial Devel opment Authority. Schmidt was taken to the hospital Saturday night when he complained of chest pains. He died shortly after midnight.

No cause of death was given. Schmidt had been hospitalized last July 10 for extreme exhaustion. He was recuperating at the time of his death.

Secretary Schmidt WASHINGTON (AP) Medals for soldiers symbolize achievement, build morale, look good on a man's record and teU of heroism.

And soldiers in Vietnam have re ceived more medals than GIs in Korea. In certain areas, U. S. sol diers in Southeast Asia have re ceived more medals than were is sued to troops in World War II. There are plenty of reasons for the increases and the services feel the awards are richly deserved.

There's no staiad policy that awards should be given out more frequently," says Maj. Frederick Vollrath, who watches these things in the Army adjutant general's of fice. But, in the case of the Army's bronze star, the fourth highest med al for heroism, the decoration also can be given for achievement A bronize star can be awarded to a rifleman who takes a bunker single "landedly or to a man who moves paper a bit more swiftly than the fellow at the next desk. The only distinction in appearance is a tiny on the medal. Further, in some units, division commanders can award a bronze star to everyone in a rifL company.

This was standard procedure at one tiixon Entertains Labor Leaders Another First WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon, an unlikely candidate for an election year love affair with organized labor, left some union chiefs wondering today why Democrats hadn't discovered his wine-anddine gambit years ago. Nixon invited more than three score top union officials and their wives to a White Hr use dinner Monday the first time any chief executive had held such a soiree on Labor Day. The normally Democratic unionists seemed impressed. After, the business-suit event a departure from Nixon's preference for formal attire at evening social events a significant number echo ed the sentiments of AFL-CIO official Sol Barkin, who proclaimed: "It's a political 10-pin strike. I don't know why the Democrats didn't think of it years ago." The Nixon get-together almost seemed to belie persistent AFL-CIO criticism of the administration's stewardship of the economy, even though the federal! has steadfastly backed Nixon's Southeast Asia policies.

An exchange of toasts between Nixon and AFL-CIO president George Meany gave rise, ia fact, to a jest that television might find a fall season winner in the "Dick and George show." -When Nixon introduced son-in-law David Eisenhower, summertime statistician for the Washington Senators of the American baseball league, Meany interjected loudly, "that don't seem to make 'em win." Then when it came Meany's turn to toast the President of the United States. Meany noted the presence of George P. Shultz, first director of the new office of management and budget. Sorrowfully, it seemed, Meany explained that Shultz had taken a substantial pay cut from his former position as secretary of labor, adding, "that don't happen in the labor movement." It was Nixon's turn to interrupt with, "Maybe he should join a labor union." In a more serious vein, Nixon lauded Meany as a "labor statesman" and asserted that "when the chips are down," the unions are on the side of the U.S. President, be he Democrat or Republican.

Meany allowed as how all six chief executives he has been associated with starting with Franklin D. Roosevelt always tried to do what was best for the country. Pa. Story (Continued from Page 4) vide the additional monies obviously needed, and as we've noted, estimates are that some $400 million additional will be required. That $400 million isn't likely to come from a peek under the rug; rather, it's going to come from more tithes and offerings coughed up by Pennsylvania's taxpayers.

Or there is the "Broderick plan" which no one knows anything about as yet ani which the, Speaker of the House of Representatives was trying to have the Republican gubernatorial candidate divulge to the Legislature which has the responsibility of charting the Keystone State's fiscal course. It is true Mr. Broderick has opined that he will at some future date reveal his plan in a "position paper" but unfortunately perhaps, a "position paper" issued by a candidate for office 'is regarded as just another piece of political campaign fluff. Seemingly a presentation to committees would nave eliminated much of the political gimmick odor and taint Or, as the Speaker of the House points out: "As an elected official, sworn to serve the Commonwealth, the Lieutenant Governor (Mr. Broderick) owes it to the citizens of this State to immediately advise the State Legislature as to the formula to be implemented.

LAS VEGAS, (AP) Entertainer Frank Sinatra stormed out of Caesars Palace casino-hotel early Sunday after a quarrel during a card game that ended when a gun was drawn on him, deputy sheriffs, said. Sinatra did not appear for two shows Sunday night in the hotel's main showroom. He reportedly was making $100,000 a week for a three-week appearance, and hotel executives said they do not expect him to finish the engagement.

A small room with a table and chairs was provided for the youngsters where they could sit and read books and pamphlets pertaining to animals. This they did on their own and they were also allowed to groom, water and walk many of the shelter dogs; and took a batch of friendly, frisky puppies for short jaunts. They entered three shelter dogs in the Waverly Pet Show where they won ribbons. They were told about the balance of nature and the reason for conservation of wildlife in relation to mankind and learned how certain animals through the ages have provided man with food, clothing, transportation and protection, acted as guides and provided companionship. They were shown the proper way to approach a strange animal when necessary and how to handle a fright ened animal.

The importance of im munization against canine and feline distemper was stressed and the reas on for rabies shots and regular vet- ernarian care for their own pets. These children thought up the idea of having a tag day and spent days drawing, cutting out and stringing tags in the shape of dog bones in preparation for their venture after having seen first hand the enormous number of unwanted puppies and kittens brought to the shelter. This was their reason for requesting the $50.75 be put in the spaying fund so in some small way they could help stop the cruelty of allowing unwanted animals to be born. The children who participated in tag day were: Jody, Karen, Brian and Rodney Geiger, Cinda Chandler, Sue Johnson, Kim Friedman, Debra Smith and Bonnie White. Dr.
