Suit is Filed Against Arcola School Board ARCOLA, Ill. A suit seeking $30,305.05 has been filed against the Arcola board of education in Douglas County Circuit Court. The suit, stemming from an injury sustained by a youth in an industrial arts class last February, was filed on behalf of Jeffrey Ellison, 16, by his father, Donald Ellison. The complaint charges school officials "carelessly failed to maintain a planer and switches in a safe manner and It further states that Jeffrey Ellison lost parts of the middle and index fingers of his left hand because of this negligence.

15, 1967, power to the planer was left on and that Jeffrey Ellison was injured while cleaning the machine. The amount sought represents medical costs of $305.05, plus $30,000 damages. accented English was barely intelligible. His fingerprints were flown to West Berlin for comparison with those of Mueller, who was reported alive in Hitler's bunker just before the fall of the Nazis in 1945. A West Berlin newspaper, the Berliner Morgenpost, said the city prosecutor showed 12 pictures taken of the man in Panama in 1966 to Mueller's divorced wife and she exclaimed: "For God's sake, it is him." Prosecutor Gerhard Spletzer said later he had been in Munich Wednesday to see Mrs.

Sophie Mueller but that he could not confirm the report. Mrs. Mueller was not immediately available for comment. The chief of Panama's Department of Investigations, Hec-1 tor Valdes, said there was a strong resemblance between the man arrested Tuesday and photographs of Mueller but his department had failed to connect the two. "I don't believe he is the man," Valdes told a reporter.

West Germany's Justice said the suspect was identified as Mueller by a Belgian informant who also said a Belgian graphologist had confirmed the suspect's handwriting was that of the former lieutenant general in Heinrich Himmler's SS Elite Guard. Newsmen who viewed the suspect at a news conference Wednesday night saw a man apparently in his 60s with several days growth of stubble. He sat silent in the glare of television lights, wearing a light gray coat and faded brown trousers. When a reporter handed him a microphone, he gave it to Valdes who did not permit questions. Mueller was believed dead by many Germans, but last week the West German Central Office for Nazi Crimes said it had uncovered a new "hot trail" to him.

It came from Simon Wiesenthal, the Viennese Nazi hunter who directed Israeli agents to Eichmann in Argentina. Valdes said he personally arrested the man in a Panama City restaurant and described him as a peddler of ties, honey and liquor who had lived in Panama for eight or ten years. Valdes called him "half In London, Dr. Gerhart Riegner, secretary-general of the World Jewish Congress, said Mueller was a leading participant in the 1942 Wannsee conference which planned the annihilation of Europe's Jews. Two employes of the Israeli Ministry of Labor were arrested on Nov.

2 in the Munich home of Mueller's wife. Their lawyer said they were seeking evidence that Mueller was still alive and were acting as private individuals, not on government orders.
