PAGE EIGHT THE EVENING TIMES, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1957 Sayre, Athens, South Waverly, and Waverly, N. Y. of Bradford Countians Over 60, Compared to State Average of 12.8% Harrisburg (Special) Bradford County have more "oldsters" within its boundaries than, most of the other 66 counties in the state? Indeed yes, says the State Department of Welfare's Bureau of Services to the Aging and to drive home the point the bureau said that of the 51,722 persons making up the county population, an estimated 8,326 are classified as being over 60 years of age. Percentagewise this means that 16.1 per cent of the county population can be classified as being in the "elderly" group. This compares with the average for the state as a whole of 12.8 per cent.

Plan Special (Continued from Page 1) the counsel for the State Education Department had said in Syracuse that some districts that continued classes stood to lose millions in state aid. Heck declared that "no district penalized for epidemic conditions." He said he would recommend legislation to the other Republican leaders in the Legislature and was certain it would be approved. The ruling was announced yesterday new, by Dr. Charles A. Brind, counsel to the Education department, at a State School boards association ing in Syracuse.

School officials there were stunned by the decision. The Governor earlier he had been assured by Dr. James E. Allen the State Education Commissioner, "that reduced attendance caused by ailments will not count against school districts for purposes of state aid." Dr. Allen said last night he had no comment on Mr.

Brind's ruling. State financial aid to local schools is allocated according to a formula based in part on the average daily attendance. The lower the attendance, the less aid a school Dr. William Jansen, New York City Superintendent of Schools, estimated that the decision would cost the city about 000,000 in aid he had expected to receive on the basis of Governor Harriman's assurances. This is true because during the three peak weeks of Asian influence in the city schools in late September and early October the average decrease in attendance was 19 per cent.

Only on a few days, Dr. Jansen said, did it reach the 20 per cent necessary to qualify for restoration of full assistance. "Apparently legislation will be needed to restore normal state aid," Dr. Jansen said. "'The present law requiring at least 20 per cent of absence on any given day will cause a great loss of school aid to communities like New York City.

"I believe that the State Education Department, the Legislature and the Governor will be sympathetic to corrective legislation." It was impossible to calculate at once how serious the aid loss might be throughout the state. Buffalo school officials said their loss would be "considerable." A number of Long Island districts reported that their attendance decline had been in the 14 to 18 per cent bracket and that they would thus lose money. Advised of the consternation his ruling had caused, Dr. Brind returned the rostrum later in the day to report tht his system for handling influenza absences was "the best we can do" under the Education Law as it stood now He said the statute was being interpreted as liberally as possible. As outlined by Dr.

Brind, the Asian influenza plan will base a school's state aid on the attendance for the comparable day in 1956 instead of 1957 if: The school was shut down on that day this year because of an epidemic certified as influenza by a physician. The school was shut down on that day because of a faculty shortage attributable in the opin. ion of the State Education Commissioner, to influenza. The school was open on that day but the attendance was 80 per cent or less. On the basis of Governor Harriman's statement and a subsequent statement by Commissioner Allen that "no school will be penalized," local officials had assumed that pupils absent because of influenza would be counted as present for the purpose of state aid.

Absenteeism (Continued from Page 1) ed in the last 24 hours in eastern Pennsylvania, including the first victims in Philadelphia. high Valley rose with the The toll in the hard Ledeath of 14-month-old Patti A. Kuk, Allentown. Most schools in central Pennsylvania reported improved attendance, but Middletown and Palmyra took a look at their absentee lists Monday and closed for the remainder of the week. Sayre Will Have Open Meeting On Recreation The bureau said that for all of Pennsylvania on the basis of 1950 census figures which show a statewide population of 10,498,000 those over age 60 number 1,338,993.

Projecting this to the present time, the bureau estimates the present population of the state at roughly 11,000,000, with those over 60 years of age numbering around 1,500,000, indicating what can be expected on county level by the time the next census is taken in 1960. Korean Veterans Of Area Hold Bonus Meeting About 100 Korean War veterans attended a Pennsylvania Korean bonus rally last night at the Hut of Skiff- Bower Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Sayre. Commander Albert Cryder and Past Commander Philip Page spoke briefly urging all veterans to do all in their power in requesting voters to favorably consider the bonus amendment at the polls Nov. 5. In explaining who is eligible for the bonus, Commander Cryder pointed out that he is one who actually was a serviceman during the time of the Korean conflict.

Any person who was a member of the military, naval or air forces of the United States, or any of its allies, between June 25, 1950 and July 27, 1953, who resided in Pennsylvania upon entering service, is eligible for the proposed bonus, he said. Excluded from consideration for the bonus, he said, are any persons who was separated from the service or those of U. S. allies during that period under conditions other than honorable; any conscientious objector who performed no military duty whatsoever, or refused to wear the uniform; any alien at any time during such period or thereafter, discharged from the military, naval or air force, because of his alienage; any individual who renounced his U. S.

citizenship during such period, or any individual who was a member of the regular armed forces of the U. S. with continuous service four years immediately prior to' June 25, 1950, except those awarded the Korean Service Medal for active foreign service and or sea service who were still legal residents of the Commonwealth on July 8, 1957 when the bonus will become law. If the bonus bill passes, computation of compensation for Korean veterans is as follows: every month or major fraction of a month of active forand or seas service, those who were awarded the Korean Service Medal, receive $15. Those who served elsewhere received $10 per month for each month or major fraction of a month.

The beneficiary of a person who died in service will receive $500. Maximum payment is $500. No veteran who served less than 60 days is eligible for any compensation. Since the Korean War was not officially terminated by the government until January 17, 1954, monthly computation of service can be based on service up to this date, but in no case will the amount exceed $500. Deadline for filing application for the bonus is Dec.

31, 1963. Red Proposal (Continued from Page 1) no specific proposals at the initial session. Zarubin's suggestions obviously failed to meet a formal U. S. proposal delivered to the Soviet ambassador last June 24 urging an agreement under which Russian and American leaders would speak directly in uncensored programs to the peoples of the other's nation.

Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, the Senate Democratic. leader, had proposed such an exchange in a June 8 speech in New York. Secretary of State Dulles said a similar proposal had been made to the Russians 18 months earlier.

Although President Eisenhower indicated he would not participate in such an exchange, Dulles said he would be willing to do so. Despite Russian omission of any proposed agreement of this nature Sens, Fulbright (D-Ark), McNamara (D-Mich) and Ives (R-NY) said in separate interviews they believe the matter should be studied thoroughly for the possibility that agreement can be reached on some, if not all, of the projected exchanges. Skips Classes, Boy Is Killed Buffalo (AP) A golden autumn afternoon was too much for George Eggleston, 14, and two friends yesterday. The boys skipped afternoon classes to play in the woods near their homes in neighboring Alden.

All Recreation Commission committees, P.TA groups, and anyone else interested in the program are invited to be present and to submit any questions, Sayre will vote on a tax-supported recreation program next Tuesday at the general election. The School Board and Borough Council, co-sponsors of the program, expect to levy jointly the equivalent of a $3 per capita tax to finance the bulk of the program if the voters approve it. IKE SEES NORSTAD -President Eisenhower chats with Gen. Lauris Norstad, commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces, during a 45-minute meeting at the White House.

After the conference, Norstad issued a blunt warning to Moscow that the Western allies would "respond forcefully and effectively" it Russia should attack Turkey. (International Soundphoto) Report of Cancer Unit Shows Aid to 15 Patients, Big Education Program The annual report of the Bradford County Unit of the American Cancer Society was issued today by Mrs. Paul Harris of Sayre, county captain, who stated that 15 cancer patients were aided during the year and a wide program of education was carried out. Contributions totaled $9,833.25 of which 48 per cent, or $4,720.79, was used locally. Over 31,000 pieces of literature were distributed during the year, many clubs, church groups and other organizations heard doctors speak and saw films on cancer, films were shown in some high schools and a poster and essay contest were sponsored in the schools.

Mrs. Harris pointed out that "the primary purpose of the county unit is to save lives by trying to educate the public about cancer danger signals, research and to provide the services of the organization for cancer patients." More than 37 doctors, she said, had endorsed the detection program, which is operated on the basis of every doctor's office being a detection center. In connection with the education and detection programs, the unit operates an information center at 118 West Lockhart street, Sayre, open daily except Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m., where information on all phases of the disease is avilable. A total of 113 persons received information at the center, and others got it indirectly through the service. The unit issued 1,715 cancer dressings a and pads free to nine patients in the county during the year.

These dressing were made by more than 12 volunteer groups from material donated or furnished by the society, Wheel chairs, hospital beds and sick room supplies were loaned free of charge, and five patients took advantage of these services, Mrs. Harris reported.

(International) Find Many Speed Zones in State Are Not Legal Harrisburg (UP) The state Highways Department said today it had 501 recommendations for changes in restricted speed zones with survey reports in from 46 of the state's 67 counties. The department said the survey found 191 illegal speed restriction zones and 69 cases of illegal speed zone extensions. Most of the restrictions were for 25 mile per hour zones where department standards call for 35 miles per hour. A spokesman said the traffic division was listing the illegal zones for upgrading. The survey was started last July at the request of Gov.

George M. Leader who charged many restricted speed zones were not "realistic and were almost completely ignored." Mrs. Sadie Amey Of Chemung Areal Dies at Age 74 Mrs. Sadie R. Amey, 74, of Miller Hollow road, Chemung county, died early this morning at her home following an extended illness.

Against killing it were 77 Republicans and 126 Democrats. "First of all, the Eisenhower administration wants to make a political issue of school Bailey asserted. "An election year is a bad time to play politics with school needs. Bailey, himself a strong backer of school grants, said he expects Eisenhower will renew this request in his 1957 budget message in January. "Furthermore, until such time as President Eisenhower can show a majority of his own party is in favor of the legislation, I am not going to take any action," Bailey said, adding: "I don't think President Eisenhower should have the opportunity to claim political credit for legislation that did not receive the majority support of his own party.

"As I see it now, there are too many problems lacing Congressasic renew our ef. forts for federal grants to schools under such a situation." Kremlin (Continued from Page 1) the idea they had a veto over the presidium. It seemed clear that Zhukov and Khrushchev had clashed at least on three points: 1. Zhukov, a professional soldier, had sought to hold down the influence of Communist political workers in the ranks of the armed forces. 2.

Zhukov had insisted louder than anyone else on the rehabilitation of the memories of Red army leaders purged as traitors by Stalin in the 1930's. The mar. shal apparently carried no personal guilt in these purges, but Khrushchev and other top party people presumably do. 3. Khrushchev's bold moves in the Middle East, particularly his fanning of the crisis over Syria, had aroused the instincts of caution of Zhukov and perhaps of other army men.

The usually well informed Danish Copenhagen's Information, quoted diplomatic sources today as saying Khrushchev some time ago toyed with a plan to send Zhukov to Washington as Soviet ambassador. "However, this met opposition from Zhukov who presumably interpreted it as an attempt to remove him from the Soviet Union in a painless way," said the paper. It could be that Khrushchev then laid careful plans for the outright ouster the hero of the World War II battles of Moscow, Stalingrad and Berlin. Of the 40.666 foreign students in United States schools for the 1956-57 academic year, Canada led with 5,379. China was second with 3,055 and Korea third with 2,307.

Mineola (AP) Mrs. Jane Rozwenc, 33, of Roslyn, N.Y. pleaded guilty yesterday to a reduced charge of manslaughter in the slaying of her two sons. She was remanded to the Meadowbrook Hospital Prison ward to await sentencing Nov. 15.

Mrs. Rozwenc drugged her sons, David, 8, and Douglas, 7, with sleeping pills last July 2 and put them in the family car, with its motor running, in a closed garage. She wrote police what she had done and then took overdose of sleeping pills in apparent an suicide attempt. Police found her alive the next day. In the note she attributed her actions to marital difficulties with her husband, George, an airline pilot.

Admits Guilt in Gasoline Death Little Valley (AP) Mrs. Fleeta Jimerson, 52, of Red House today pleaded guilty of second fatal degree of manslaughter in burning her daughter-in-law, Sept. 22. The victim was Mrs. Spencer Jimerson, 31, a resident of the Allegheny Indian reservation near Salamanca.

She died Oct. 9. Cattaraugus County Court Judge J. Richmond Page set Nov. 8 for sentencing.

Fleeta Jimerson was charged with hurling a jug of gasoline through a kitchen window and onto a stove where Mrs. Spencer Jimerson was cooking supper. Police said the incident followed a quarrel. Baltimore (AP) The Martin Co. announced today a new version of the Matador guided missile which permits its recovery by parachute for training and test purposes.

Until now, the TM76 Matador has been a one-shot weapon. Each missile launched plunged to destruction at the end of its jet-powered flight. With the modifications announced today, the Matador can be recovered and reused. This means that troops may be given much more intensive training in the launching sequence and the cost will be sig. nificantly less, the announcement said.
