Justice Michael Eagen, in his 16-page majority decision, ruled against an argument by Wood-house's attorneys that the Mifflin County court did not explain to jurors the "irresistible impulse" test.

Big 3 Protest Red Bans in Berlin BERLIN (UPD The United States, Britain and France sent another note to the Soviet Union today reasserting Berlin's four-power status and protesting anew against Communist travel restrictions in the city. The note, signed by the Western commandants in Berlin and delivered by French comman dant General Jean Lacomme to Soviet commandant Major Gen ed the Russians that they will be held responsible for any interfer ence with the three Western air corridors to the isolated city. The Western note replied to a Soviet note of September 13, which in turn answered an Allied protest over East German travel restriction.

The new message stressed that the Western allies retain full rights throughout Berlin, and that East Berlin is not part of East Germany. The East Germans claim all four-power agreements on the city are dead. "The Soviet Union cannot reject the responsibility for Berlin it shares with France, Great Britain and the United States," the note said. "The three allied powers continue to make the Soviet government fully and completely responsible for air it has to guarantee, in the air corridors." East Germany has claimed it can regulate travel "on or above" its territory. On August 30, the East Germans clamped a rigid five-day check on all West Germans traveling to Berlin to weed out alleged "militarists and revanch-ists" attending a refugee meeting here.

They also barred West Germans from East Berlin during the meeting. On September 8, they closed East Berlin to all West Germans without, a special visa. Today's note said both actions "openly violate the right of free travel within Berlin and are in direct contradiction to the Paris agreement of June 20, 1949." This agreement ended the Berlin blockade. 30 Killed in Crash of Airplane Near Moscow MOSCOW (UPD-An Austrian Airlines plane with 37 persons aboard crashed in fog and rain near Moscow Monday night, the Austrian Embassy announced today.

Nasser Suggests (Continued from Pitt Oil) the podium and never came within 100 feet of Khrushchev He was not present when Khrushchev spoke Friday. Romania joined Khrushchev's attack on Hammarskjold and echoed his demand the United Nations be moved out of the United States. Romanian Communist Party leader Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, a hard-line party man and longtime foe of the United States, used the occasion of his first visit to attack Hammarskjold's policies in the Congo.

Speakers for Communist Czechoslovakia and Albania failed to mention Hammarskjold in appearance before the General Assembly Monday but Gheorghiu-Dej followed Khrushchev down the line in attacking the secretary-general. He told the assembly that dcle-eations were being harassed in New York by hired "hoodlums. ihnnliMnq fascist refugees and rnmmnn law infractors." Neutral nations sought to blunt the Soviet assault on Harhmar ck.iold but appeared to bp having little success in swaying Premier Khrushchev. resource development. Kennedy said his programs were "fiscally sound" but Nixon retorted that the senator's plans probably would result in raised t3XGSt The Democratic nominee said his medical care for the aged plan would be placed under Social Security, while Nixon's program if adopted fully would cost $000 million yearly by the federal government and a like amount by the states.

Kennedy assailed "tight money policies" which he said have slowed down the nation's economy and contributed to two recessions." Differ On Aid Kennedy said he favored federal aid to education and federal aid for teachers' salaries because "there is no greater return to an economy or to a society than an education system second to none." Nixon also favored federal aid for school construction but said the federal government shouldn't tamper with teachers' salaries because of the risk of the government" telling our teachers what to teach." Nixon chided Kennedy for not getting Democratic legislation through the post-convention session of Congress, despite heavy Democratic majorities in both houses. Kennedy said the threat of a presidential veto plus Republican opposition stalled some legislation. He said a vigorous Democratic President backed up by Democratic majorities in both houses "can win support for these programs. "But if you send a Republican President and a Democratic majority and the threat of a veto hangs over the Congress, in my judgment you will continue what happened in the August session," he said. 1 mission named to draft a state food, drug and cosmetic code meets today to begin the task of processing Pennsylvania public health laws, now administered by five agencies.

The nine-man commission, authorized by Governor David L. Lawrence, is headed by state Adjutant General Anthony J. Drexel Biddle. Representatives of the agriculture, labor and industry, and health departments, and the health directors of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia are among commission members. Biddle said the commission would formulate recommendations for "appropriate legislation" to clear up the confusion over the present status of enforcement of food and drug laws, and to consider recommendations for an initial cosmetic law for the state.

Pennsylvania now has no cosmetic code. The agriculture, health and labor and industry departments, plus local governmental agencies, now process food and health procedures for food laws often overlap into several agencies and are contradictory in enforcement. A study recommending changes in the food and drug code published by the University of Pittsburgh Law School in 1958 is expected to be discussed by the commission. The study generally recommends centralizing all food and drug laws under the authority of one agency. A proposed new food code, drafted by the National Association of Food and Drug officials, lost out in the state legislature last year.

The measure was never reported out of committee. Biddle indicated public hearings would be held later on the regulation of some foods and drugs. He said the commission probably would be active for several months. Charles E. Roberts Pottsville Man Dies in Hospital Charles E.

China probably will be represented by a top official Premier Chou En-lai or perhaps Communist boss Mao Tse-tung.

An official report from the Soviet news agency Monday night said the Supreme Soviet will convene October 18. No details were disclosed. Soviet affairs experts here predicted the Sino-Soviet conflict will light of developments at the United Nations General Assembly. The tension between Moscow and Peiping appears to have increased as 'a result of Soviet Premier i i a Khrushchev's New York mission, which is not pooular in Peiping. Communist China gave merely a passing mention to Khrushchev's UN speech and his many New York press conferences.

Communist diplomats who until recently denied there was any trouble between Russia and Red China have lately begun to admit its existence. 1 They are playing it down but no longer dismiss it, as they did in 'the past, as a mere invention of Western reporters. One high diplomatic source put the problem in these words: "The Red "Chinese have entered the Stalin era; the Soviet has left it behind." Other sources said off-stage attempts to patch up the conflict have been in progress for some weeks, but apparently they have not produced any settlement. Reports that top Soviet leaders are in Peiping have been denied by the Red Chinese foreign ministry. These reports suggested that Khrushchev's right hand man, Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoy-an one of the main trouble shooterswas seeking to resolve the Kremlin's differences with Mao.

Another report said Moscow's leading theoretician, Mikhail Sus ilov was in Peiping for the same purpose. The Peiping denial may be "diplomatic," but there has been no confirmation of the sug. gestion from Russian sides. Mines Agency (Continual from Pnj One) Boltz called on state officials to aid in having the federal government declare the region a disaster area. He said such a declaration would permit the demolition of badly affected homes and relocation of residents.

Boltz said the county is preparing to launch a housing and redevelopment authority but this agency would not be able to act on the situation for at least a year. Apparently shelved during the discussions was a proposal to drain the water by drililng two tunnels from the affected areas to Mahoning Creek. A difference of opinion over the costs of this operation led to its demise. The rising waters have not only flooded basements, but hampered the effectiveness of septic tanks near the resulting in dangerous sanitation conditions.

The man. whose real name is half free." "I think it will depend in great measure upon what we do in the United States, on the kind of society we build, on the kind oi strength we maintain," he said. Kennedy said the question before the American people was whether the nation was doing enough to meet the world's problems and if it was as strong as it should be. "I should make it very clear that I do not think we are doing enough, that I am not satisfied as an American with the progress we are making," he said.

Kennedy called for more effective government action in the face of lagging Steel production and "the lowest economic growth of any major industrialized society." Nixon agreed "we cannot discuss our internal affairs in the United States without recognizing that they have a tremendous bearing on our international position" and that the nation must keep moving to meet the competition from the Communists in Russia and China. uut ne rejected any mea tne United States has been standing still. Makes Comparisons Comparing the country's achievements under Eisenhower with-those of Truman and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Nixon said: "We have built more schools in this seven and a half years than in the previous 20 years. "We have developed more hydroelectric power in this seven and a half years than was developed in any previous administration in history.

"We find more hospitals nave been built in this administration than in the previous administration. The same is true of highways." The gross national product under Truman increased It per cent in seven years, under Eisenhower 19 per cent in seven years. Wages went up five times as much under Eisenhower as they did under Truman, while prices climbed five times a much in the Truman administration as hey did in the Eisenhower administration, Following the general opening statements by the Republican and Democratic nominees, a panel of four TV newsmen questioned the candidates. Says GOP Failed On the farm issue, Kennedy said present farm policy has failed and the only plan that will work is to bring supply and demand into balance.
