Patrolmen Edward Schoen-rath, 23, and Scott McCleary, 28, were kidnaped by a suspect they had picked up on a routine call.

Then the suspect'pulled a gun, disarmed the policemen and kidnaped them. He released them, but escaped in their scout car. THEY TOLD their story to Lt. James Hopper of Vernon Precinct. Schoenrath and McCleary were called to 6159 Payne, Dearborn, where a citizen had reported seeing a suspicious car in the neighborhood.

The car was located at 6306 Steadman. The Dearborn police spotted a man running between houses and they arrested him crouching in the dark. He said he was spying on his wife. They arrested the man. He Igave his name as James Smith, 38, later identified by police as Clyde Murreli Stanley, whose last known address was 7436 Waldo.

SCHOENRATH and McCleary ordered the suspect into the rear seat of the scout car and drove to where the suspicious car was parked. As they reached the car, the suspect placed a automatic at McCIeary's head nd said: "Now, I'vei got you. Give me your gun." Schoenrath managed to flick the bullet from his pistol before passing it over his shoulder to the suspect. "Now drive," barked the kidnaper. HE ORDERED them into the parking lot of American Motors at 14250 Plymouth, told them to get out, and said: "I'm sorry, but I'll have to kill you both." Schoenrath began making a bargain with Stanley, promising to take him back to his car and forget the whole thing.

When the police car returned to the Steadman address the" suspect's auto had been taken away by another scout car crew. This angered Stanley. Then Sgt. Carl Parchert, Dearborn desk sergeait, asked for a radio report from the police car. SCHOENRATH convinced the kidnaper that he couldn't answer from the vehicle and would have to call from a box.

He pulled 'over at Paul and Greenfield, where Parchert Turn to Page Column 2 UN Upholds 'Personal' Firing GENEVA (Jp) The United Nations administrative tribunal Thursday rejected an appeal by an English girl secretary who claimed UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold ordered her dismissed for reasons connected with her private life.

The forced smile he had worn when he posed with his sisters for photographers had slipped from his face. He suddenly looked tired. "They turned me down," he said. "I guess that finishes me.

They said they didn't think my hid was high enough. I thought it was a fair offer. I can't go any higher. Briggs looked around the office. It was his father's before him.

"I don't know what will happen now," he patiently explained in jl low voice. "The club will have to be sold when the Briggs Commercial and Development Co. is dissolved Oct. 27. Not right away, maybe.

But it will have to come. "When that happens I guess I'll be out of here completely unless somebody comes along, buys it and then hires me.

Visit wa at the home of the Closed Milage Blames Pontiac Plant Waste BY ROBERT DeWOLFB tree Press Staff Writer Utica's water supply failed at midnight Thursday for the second time in two months. Deadly chromium waste, pour ing into the Clinton River from Pontiac sewers, again was blamed for poisoning the water. Loudspeakers and radin broadcasts immediately warned the village's 1,580 inhabitant not to use the water for anything except flushing toilets.

Arrangements were made to truck in tanks of water from Shelby Township. Cooking pan brigades will form on street corners as they did in July. ALL, SCHOOLS, public and parochial, were ordered closed Friday. Merlin Damon, sanitary engineer for the Macomb County Health Department, said the waste was discovered Thursday afternoon in the Clinton River near Rochester. But George Albrecht, Htic water commissioner, said Utica i officials were- notified H'ednes-j day that the waste was on th way.

It takes .36 hours for the water to get from Pontiac to Utica. He said ranking State health officials have been called in and "they believe they have the source pinfted down this time." THE CONCENTRATION, he said, is about six times greater than the maximum allowable safely for human use. That Is not so bad as the July scourge but Albrecht indicated it might be two to three days before the water would be fit for consumption. Meanwhile, offers of help poured in from a number of communities. Albrecht said, "We've got tf step on somebody's toes.

I think this thing should be taken lo court and prosecuted to the limit." DAMON SAID he thought, the populace had been warned in jtime to prevent anyone from being sickened by the poisoned water. Utica was without water for two days during the last chromium waste infiltration. Citizens hauled their water in buckets from lank trucks st four Utica crossroads. SHELBY TOWNSHIP supplied drinking and cooking water to Utica when it was stricken in July. Said t.aiirt Evans, township clerk: "It cost the township $300 to -supply the water for the last time.

That was for manpower only. "I feel we could have at leat. gotten a thank you note from (Utica) Mayor Donald Havel. "They've called me this tim about getting some more water. This time I want some compensation.

After all, it's th. people's money." The Mayor replied that a resolution mentioning each department that helped in the July crisis was passed by the village council and published in local newspapers.

Navy Call Doubles Draft Quota First for Sea Arm Since World War II WASHINGTON VP) The Navy asked Thursday for draftees in November the first time it has invoked the draft since World War II.

This will raise the Selective Service quota for the month to 20,000, since the Army is currently asking for 10,000 a month. The Navy said it plans to call 10,000 monthly through April except for a a when none will be called -then drop to 6,000 in May. It hopes inductees will not be needed beyond next June. A Navy statement said it had to resort to the draft because of the rapid loss of men who came into service during the Korean war. "THE RAPID buildup of the Navy during the first year of the Korean conflict brought large numbers of men into the Navy during a relatively short period of time," it said.

"Because of the unusually large number of expirations of enlistments which will occur during the next several months, the regular input of first-enlistment men into the Navy will be augmented by the utilization of Selective Service procedures beginning in November." The Navy said the regular four-year voluntary enlistment program "will be energetically prosecuted." Augmentation by Selective Service will be continued only as necessary to maintain authorized strength, it said. Kraut King Again FORRESTON, 111.

He was too ill to meet a Finnish delegation when it arrived in Moscow Thursday. He may be unable to participate in negotiations with East German Prime Minister Otto Grotewohl starting Friday. Tt is extremely unusual for the illness of any Soviet official to be made public. The last time such an announcement was made was when Iremier Josef Stalin suffered a stroke in March, 1953. Diplomatic sources, however, saw nothing ominous in the revelation of Bulganin's illness.

They said some explanation had to be given when he was forced to cancel engagements. Bulganin recently returned from a vacation in the Caucasus, but despite a suntan he looked tired during the conference with West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
