As negotiators met at Pittsburgh on the union demand for a 10-cent hourly wage increase and other con cessions, some steel operators complained a shortage of fuel arising from a 14-day work stoppage in ssft coal mines in 12 states was hampering output of steel products needed for national defense. Defense production was resumed in the automobile industry as laborers returned to the River Rouge plant of the Ford Motor Company where an 11-day strike called by the United Automobile Workers ended Friday. Ford holds $154,000,000 iiv- defense contracts.

PSYCHIATRISTS WILL EXAMINE COUNTYSLAYER Hobendobler Will Be Taken to Danville Hospital for Examination John Hobendobler, 50. of Lower Augusta Township, being held in the county jail for the murder early last Tuesday morning of his wife. Clara, 47, will be taken to Danville State Hospital by county institu tional investigators to permit psy chiatrist to determine his mental status and his ability to determine between right and wrong. This decision was reached at a conference this morning between District Attorney Robert M.

Fortney and President Judge Chanes K. Morganroth. District Attorney Fortney told Judge Morganroth it is his belief Hobendobler is mentally unsound and that police who obtained confession of the murder from the rural man concur in that belief. Rather than put the county to the expense of a murder trial at which it would be necessary to summon alienists at heavy cost, the court approved District Attorney Fortney's plan to have Hobendobler taken to Danville State Hospital. Joseph H.

Jones and Clarence Grow, special Investigators of the county institutional district, will be assigned to take the slayer to the hospital where he will be kept under surveillance until psychiatrists determine his mental condition. The court, after weighing the facts presented by the county pres- ecutor, indicated that the proper procedure under any circumstances involving the mental condition of Hogendobler would be to petition the court for appointment of defense counsel in order to permit a. i i it wife the court will then hear wit nesses to determine the degree of penalty. Following this suggestion on the part of the court the prosecutor con ferred with Attorney J. Mettler Pensyl, Sunbury, as to whether he would accept appointment as counsel for Hobendobler under appointment by the court upon recommendation of the prosecutor.

Attorney Pensyl said he would consider acceptance, but would not give definite answer to District Attorney Fortney until some time this after noon. Hobendobler is steadily gaining weight since his incarceration last Wednesday afternoon. For the first time in several years he has been receiving nourishing food. The slayer of his wife who told officers he killed "to put her out of her misery," sleeps well and seems perfectly contented in his solitary confinement cell, although he is allowed exercise after other prisoners leave the Jail corridors. SUIT IN EQUITY FILED JNCOURT Star Furniture Company Seeks Full Accounting From Local Man Suit in equity was filed today at Sunbury by the Star Furniture Company, Shamokin; Star Furniture Company, Mount Carmel, and Star Furniture Company, Hazleton, against Marlin Shaw, Shamokin, to compel him to turn over a full ac counting, books, office equipment and other effects of the companies now in his possession.

The plaintiffs to the action against the Shamokin man aver he was engaged as manager and salesman of the company's store on Independence Street, Shamokin, until the firm went out of business. At that time Shaw was authorized to collect all accounts due the three stores and was given office equipment, books and other documents, including many sales contracts. The Star owners aver that $63,273 remains unpaid on the accounts of the three stores. This includes due from the Shamokin store and $10,356 due from the Mount Carmel store accounts. The plaintiffs aver that since taking over the collections Shaw has remitted $1,753.30.

The action filed today enjoins Shaw from making any further collections and asks the court to direct the immediate surrender to officers of the three furniture companies of all accounts, contracts, money and furniture owned by the company remaining in the possession of the defendant.

Nazi Panzer Divisions Make Better Headway in African Drive By JOE ALEX MORRIS (United Press Foreign News Editor) Balkan resistance against Adolf Hitler's blitakrieg stiffened today, but in Africa Nazi panzer divisions crossed the Egyptian frontier, well past the half-way mark In their drive against Sues in British control of the middle passage to the East. The German spring offensive thundered ahead as the world hastily sought to assess the implications of a Russian-Japanese neutrality accord which may affect radically the course of event from the south Pacific to the Balkans. In both Greece and Jugoslavia despite Axis claims there was evidence that the swift pace of the Nazi attack had been slowed, possibly only temporarily. The London war office reported that Britain's Expeditionary Corps had met and hurled back a division of Adolf Hitler's crack SS troops on the northern Green front.

The battle occurred Friday, it was reveal-1, apparently in the Phlonna sector where the dangerous Ger man break-through of the Bitolj Gap, to the north, brought their spearhead up to he British line. The British report indicated that the initial Nazi attempt to penetrate the western end of the Greco-British defense line had failed. In Jugoslavia, the German claim was that the Jugoslav armies have been pulverized and are now capable of little more than guerrilla resistance in the mountains of Bosnia, Herzegovina and Montenegro. Both In the north and the south, it was claimed, major Serb units have been smashed and strong resistance still was encountered only in the central part of the country. British reports were a little more optimistic, contending that the Jugoslavs have braced In some sectors, notably along both sides of the Morava river, north of Nish and northwest of Skoplje.

They were al so said to have captured Durazzo, chief seaport of Albania, in a drive down the Dalmatian coast. However, the Italian communique reported developments which, if true, would indicate the Jugoslavs may soon be encircled. Berlin said that Jugoslavia as an independent state was doomed and that the whole British position In the eastern Mediterranean was threatened. The entry of Nazi troops into bat tered Belgrade where more than 3,000 persons were killed by air at tacks and most of the principal buildings leveled was announced. The German threat to the Middle East appeared to be real.

The Nazis talked of quick reinforcement of the Dodecanese Islands, lying off Turkey and there were indications that if and when the Balkan cam paign is won a major drive to reach the Mosul oil fields, crack British control of the Suez and carry the war toward the East and the riches of India will be launched. The British admitted that the situation in Egypt gave cause for serious anxiety. The Germans had dashed past Bardia to reach Solium on the Egyptian side of the frontier. The capture of Fort Capuzzo also was' claimed. Largest Cypress Tree Lives 3,500 Years ORLANDO, Fla.

i Unique Ruling Disposes of Money Raised During 1917 PHILADELPHIA, April 14 (U.R) The State Supreme Court ruled to day that an unexpended sum of collected for the benefit of draftees from the First and Second Wards of the city of Pittsburgh during the World War must now be used for the benefit of selectees un der the Selective Service Act. The fund was collected during 1817 to be used for comfort kit and other personal necessities for draftees. When the war ended there was a balance of $2,395 35 which has been accumulating interest for 23 years. A group of those having charge of the fund wanted it spent on a memorial to those from the First and Second Wards who were in military service. The Allegheny County court authorized that such use be made of the money but the Ricketts-Masloff Post No, 740, Vet erans of Foreign Wars, refused to accept the lower court ruling and appealed to the Supreme Court.

The lower court applied what is known in law as the doctrine of Cy Pres," or broadly, the "next best thing." The Supreme Court opinion re versing the lower court held that "undoubtedly the doctrine of Cy Pres should be applied in the case, the only question being whether the erection of a permanent memorial is the oldest approximation practical to the original plan." "In view of the present national emergency," the opinion added 'when men are once again being conscripted into the armed forces of our country, we are constrained to find it is not. At present, similar circumstances to those which gave rise to the fund exists and therefore it should be applied to the very same purpose for which it was raised. The court directed the Allegheny court to appoint a committee of "five reputable and reliable citizens, not necessarily veterans of foreign wars," to distribute the fund. PACT MAY OPEN WAY FOR MINES TO WORK AGAIN Northern Soft Coal Fields May Resume to Supply Mills NEW YORK, April 14 (U.R) A temporary agreement may be signed today opening the way for 250,000 miners in the northern Appalachian coal fields to return to work Immediately on orders for fuel needed in defense Industries. The northern operators meet with Dr.

John R. Steelman, director of the Federal Conciliation Service, who has proposed that production be resumed with the understanding that any final agreement will be retroactive to the time of the reopening of mines. Representatives of the newly-organized Southern Coal Operators' Association also were Invited to the conference but indicated they would continue to resist demands of the United Mine Workers (C. I. for elimination of wage differentials between the North and South.

There were new indications that the dispute eventually would be referred to the National Labor Mediation Board. W. E. E. Koepler, secretary of the Southern Operators' Association, said his group is preparing a brief to be presented when and if Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins submits the controversy to the board.

Koepler reported that more than 100 small defense plants already have complained of a shortage of soft coal and coke as a result of the two weeks shutdown. Acceptance of Steelman's proposal by the northern operators would re-open about two-thirds of the Aprjalachian soft coal fields. The union, meanwhile, accused the southern operators of poor sportsmanship. K. C.

Adams, a C. I. O. spokesman said: "The union does not know why the southern operators will spend the extra money for lawyers and statisticians to prepare a new case when the government has ihir sworn statement of the cost of production at each mine, which is filed with the coal divisions of the Department of Interior. "They ought to show more sports manship by standing by their own statements rather than by preparing another cise."
