They were en route to Chicago to join their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paulius whom they haven't seen in 16 years. The boy and girl had to be left behind with grandparents when their father and mother fled from Russian-occupied Lithuania in 1944. They were permitted to leave Russia after Mr.

Two other charges, one of reck less driving and the other for operating a motor vehicle with out a license, were not pressed by police. Inside 'Stuff at The White House By MERRIMAN SMITH PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (UPI) Backstairs at the White House: President Eisenhower is in resi dence again 20 miles from here at the home of George E. Allen, his good friend from Washington, Gettysburg and other points.

Allen's three-bedroom, two- swimming pool home is on the grounds of the La Quinta Hotel where the well-to-do frolic and golf during the winter months. In the hotel only 500 feet from the Allen there is every conceivable luxury but behind the doors of the temporary White House, the President doffs his robes of state and puts on a cook's apron. When the President visits Allen, he does the cooking all the cooking. The servants are shooed from the kitchen, unless there are dirty dishes to be washed, and the President fixes every meal. He gets up long before Allen or any of the house guests and has a substantial breakfast on the fire by 7:30 or 8:00 in the morning.

One day the President will feature fried mush, the next day chipped beef. He's not quite up to making his own biscuit dough, but he does cash, up a tasty pancake in which water, ground corn meal and buttermilk are among the ingredients. If the pancakes sometime turn out to be a bit rubbery, you can bet a million there's not a word of complaint from the guests. When a President of the United States does the cooking, one simply does not knock the groceries. People sometimes wonder whether in playing golf with Eisenhower, his partners ever consciously try to let the President win.

Another term for this is "customer golf." There may have been some rather silly tactics like this in the past, but woe betide the golfer who purposely dubs a shot and the President finds out about it. The President wants his opponents to play their best possible game because that is what he's doing. In fact, when playing with a top flight professional, Eisenhower gets as much of a kick out of watching the smooth performance of the pro as he does out of playing, himself. The President spent last weekend in Washington, much to the ratification of those who must travel with him when he leaves town and he's been away a good bit these last few months. At any rate, when the word was passed that Eisenhower would stay in town over the weekend, this anonymous notice appeared on the White House Press Room bulletin board: "Don't forget your immunization shots for Washington.

All the signs are that we will be here for a long weekend. Don't forget vour watPf purifying tshlpt nH dysentery pills." One of the weary travel crew saw the notice and observed, "Bitterness will get you nowhere only to South America." The President will be leaving for South America February 22 and reports from advance agents anticipate enormous crowds a La India and Spain last December. Eisenhower may find the trip as fatiguing as his Asian jaunt, possibly more so, because it is now summer south of the equator and the weather is hot and humid. Four Persons Hurt in Ambulance-Truck Crash Lawrence F. auxiliary bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg, a patient in Geisinger Memorial Hospital since January 18, remains serious, according to an announcement today by priests at Our Lady of Mount Carmcl parish in Mount Carmel Priests reported, however, that Bishop Schott is responding to treatment.

No visitors are per mitted. Bomb Exploded In Kansas City KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI)-De-tectives worked today to determine if a group of swastika-wear ing boys were involved in the bombing of a synagogue Thursday night. The bomb ripped out 51 windows at the Kehilah Israel Synagogue in a fashionable southside residential area. There were no injuries.

Lieutenant Colonel William M. Canaday, chief of police operations, said 12 boys, who admit being members of a "Nordic Reich youth party," were to be interrogated further today. The boys, all under 16 years old, were questioned Thursday about painting of swastikas on synagogues in the neighborhood. "They told us there was no adult movement behind their activities," Canaday said. "They said they contrived their group on their own." Uniforms, swastika armbands and Nazi medals were found in some of their homes.

The insignia apparently was purchased by mail order from a firm in Downey, Calif. All of the boys except two were released Thursday but were picked up again for further interroga tion today. Police Still Hunt Deranged Slayer NORTH BRUNSWICK. N. J.

(UPIi Police today hunted for an apparently deranged murderer with a grudge who killed four per sons Tuesday on the estate of a wealthy surgeon. County Prosecutor Warren T. Wilentz said he had a "hot lead" from an informant that a man whose description might fit that of the killer was seen parking a stolen car in Newark, N. J. The stolen car was found aban doned at the spot where the in formant said it was parked.

It had been taken from a point five blocks from where the taxicab used in the escape of the quad ruple murderer was found abandoned earlier. Police said some evidence tend ed to support the theory the killer was mentally unbalanced. They said they were sticking to the be lief the quadruple murderer was "a maniac with a grudge." Wilentz said the man who killed the wife of Dr. Francis M. Clarke, two women servants on the Clarkes' estate and a cab driver, was believed to be ruddy faced.

But today it appeared the post might be at Reghaia, 15 miles east of Algiers. There was unusually heavy activity there and a helicopter hovered over the scene.

There were rumors uncon firmed that de Gaulle himself might fly to the command post to lead a march of loyal army lioops on liie insurgents in Algiers and the paratroopers who have gone over to their side. The best estimates in Paris were that 20,000 to 25,000 para troops were stationed in Algiers itself of the French army in Algeria. How many of each side would fight each other was de Gaulle's biggest question. Senator Kennedy (Continued from Page One) said. Kennedy has said repeatedly that any Democrat seeking the nomination should put his popularity on the line in primaries.

Humphrey expressed confidence he would defeat Kennedy in Wisconsin. The Minnesota senator said he would decide what to do about the May 3 Ohio primary after the Wisconsin contest. Ohio Governor Michael DiSalle will run in his state's primary as a favorite son pledged to Kennedy. Native of Berwick Ends His Life in Florida Edmund T. Hoch.

The report had been requested by House Minority Leader Albert W. Johnson, McKean, in an attempt to find out whether school districts should get more state aid, an issue in the 1959 Legislature that has carried over into the new session. Johnson described as a "veritable bombshell" the report in which Public Instruction Superintendent Charles H. Boehm said it appeared one million dollars would be sufficient to meet salary obligations "in districts where credit is not adequate." "It was perhaps not made clear in my recent report to Representative Johnson that the.

figures contained therein (in the report) apply only to the current fiscal year ending for most school districts on June 30, 1960," Bpehm said. "It should not be miscon strued to mean that school dis tricts will not have other more serious financial problems coming years." in Brother of Local Resident Expires Harry Llewellyn, 84, widely known Lavelle well driller and a brother of a Shamokin man, died last evening at 6:15 in Green View Nursing Home, Schuylkill Haven R.

Epidemic of Flu Rages in Europe (UPI)-An influenza epidemic sweeping across Europe kept millions of Europeans away from jobs and schools today. Germany, France, Italy and Switzerland were hardest hit.

Six deaths were recorded in Switzerland during the week ending January 23. In Britain, where the flu has not reached epidemic proportions, four nuns in a Roman Catholic convent in Liverpool died two weeks ago in what was described as an isolated outbreak. Thus far, the epidemic has not reached the severity of the 1957-58 outbreak. A Belgian health official said the epidemic appeared to be caused by an Asian-type virus but of a milder variety than in 1957-58. newspapers reported 300,000 persons iu Paris stricken with the tm and hospitals overflowing with patients.

It was estimated that four of 100 Frenchmen were ill. In West Germany, many cities reported up to 40 per cent of workers flu-ridden. Soup Firm Will Sell One Million Stock Shares WASHINGTON (UPI) Plans to sell one million shares of common stock to the public were announced Thursday by the Campbell Soup Company, Camden, N. J. The firm filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that the sale will be handled by an underwriting group headed by First Boston Corporation.

The price of the stocks will be set at the time of the sale. The one mililon shares were made available from two trusts under the will of Dr. John Dorrance.

Feldcr, 24, was sentenced to life in prison Thursday for the robbery-slaying of an American Store manager Here in A jury of four men and eight women acted under a new state law which requires that a verdict be returned before the defendant's criminal record and background is offered as testimony. Deliberation of a penalty follows these two steps.

The statute went Into effect last December. Previously, a would hear all the testimony and then deliberate both the verdict and the penalty before returning to the courtroom.

Earlier this week, Felder's wife, Letitia, was convicted of shoplifting at the same time her husband was on trial for the slaying. Martin Asks for Gasoline Tax Hike HARRISBURG (UPI) tate Highways Secretary Park H. Martin today asked highways material producers to support higher taxes he said were necessary for a 250 million dollar annual road construction program. Martin told a meeting of the Pennsylvania Highway Material Producers' Conference here that they should support a one-cent in crease in the state gasoline tax if Governor David L. Lawrence should ask for one "at some future session" of the Legisla ture.

A one-cent increase in the state's five-cent per gallon gas tax passed the state House in the 1959 General Assembly, but died in the Senate Finance Committee. Martin told the producers, "the heart of the state federal construction program is the gasoline tax." "A tax on gasoline of one cent, or even two cents higher," Martin added, "would not be uneconomic. It would not reduce the consumption of gasoline." Martin said that since the gas tax must go into highway uses in Pennsylvania, an increase would provide a better road sys tem, which would lead to more motor travel and more use of Gasoline. Martin told th6 producers that he felt that the state should spend at least $250,000,000 per year over the next 12 years "more than has ever been spent In a single year before." "Anything less is simply inviting motor vehicle transportation chaos," he said. "And in this day when mass transportation is faltering the word chaos is no exaggeration, for the passenger car and the motor, truck more and more dominate the transportation picture."

Humphrey. Kennedy's padding is necessary to blunt the built-in Wisconsin advantages enjoyed by Humphrey. The padding consists of a smartly ballyhooed campaign to identify Kennedy as definitely the Wisconsin underdog. The ballyhoo has set Kennedy up as a candidate of much courage. By deciding to enter the Wisconson primary, Kennedy revealed himself to be a man who dared to take a long chance with his political future.

All of this was achieved in a matter of a fortnight or so by Kennedy's brothers, Robert and Edward, who told newsmen here and there around the nation that brother John should stay out of Wisconsin because it would be an unfair contest. Robert and Edward made of Humphrey an almost invincible candidate in Wisconsin because he lives in neighboring Minnesota and over the years has become as well known in one state as in the other a two-state favorite son. Humphrey Advantages These advantages Humphrey undoubtedly does possess. The preliminary ballyhoo, however, probably has created a public state of mind which expects Ken nedy to be licked in Wisconsin and which will credit him with a moral victory if he is not licked too badly. If Humphrey loses, he probably is dead as a presidential candidate.

Not so, Kennedy! Kennedy's pre-convention drive for the presidency has too much steam for it to be derailed in Wisconsin unless the vote is utterly lop-sided in Humphrey behalf. If Kennedy comes in a moderate ly good second to Humphrey, then Humphrey's standing will gain as the man who ran well in an ad mittedly uphill sprint. Smart Campaigning Whoever it may be who makes campaign strategy in the Ken- nedy-for-President headquarters, he is a pretty- smart fellow and deserves a raise. The Wisconsin primary and cer tain political factors related to it probably are overestimated this year as in previous presidential years. The facts are that the Wis consin test sometimes has had direct bearing on the nomination of a presidential candidate and sometimes it has had none.

Consider 1944. Wendell L. Will-kie, the 1940 Republican presidential nominee, had a fairly good start toward re-nomination in 1944. The Wisconsin presidential primary destroyed Willkie as a candidate. He was opposed by Thomas E.

Dewey, of New York; General Douglas MacArthur and Harold E. Stassen, the latter then a Navy lieutenant commander. Dewey won 15 delegates, Mac-Arthur and Stassen three each. Willkie was blanked and promptly withdrew as a candidate for re-nomination. A few months later Willkie died.

Willkie was bitter about Wisconsin, claiming a double cross and other affronts. But the Wisconsin results were in and Willkie was out. It was quite different in 1948. Stassen, a native Min-nesotan and thrice elected governor of that state, won 19 of 27 Wisconsin delegates in 1948. Mac-Arthur won eight.

Dewey was white-washed. Dewey went on, however, to an easy presidential nomination. rU ft-JUT (Continued from Page One) lying behind de Gaulle. It was reported that more than 300,000 letters and telegrams had arrived at the presidential palace, most of them expressing popular support of the president.

Police said the first two vic tims were mauled and striped of some of their clothing after the pupils entered the trolley follow ing dismissal from their classes The two girls, screaming in terror, grappled their way off the trolley and attracted a police car. The third girl boarded the trolley about three blocks away and immediately was given the same treatment. George J.

Other reinforcements arrived later and herded the pupils into police wagons Authorities said some of the pupils had gone to the aid of the girls during the melee.
