Guntoling Grandma Slows Construction Demands Company Pay For Damages Baltimore. Md. up —a gunwielding grandmother warned a construction company today to meet her “peace terms” or s.ay goodbye to its expensive sewer digging equipment. She stroked the barrel of her .22 caliber rifle to intake it plain she meant business. 71. “I may be holding up a $:l,000,0oo project but I’m tired of getting shoved around.” she declared. ’ They’ve got to settle up for ruining my property or else." The 57-year-old woman. Mrs. \\ anda K. Sienkielewski, got peeved because the Leo G. Butler Co. kept parking its heavy equipment — pumps, an air compressor, and a crane-Hn her yard while it was putting in a sewer for the county. A couple oL nights ago, she went into action. She threw chicken wire fence around her property!, posted “private-keep off” signs, and started standing guard with her* rifle. . . - t She dismissed the possibility of a lawsuit. 7* - "The equipment’s on my property,” she said, “and I didn’t tell them to put it there.” Mrs. Sitnkielewski didn't reveal ter truce terms.

Anti-Red Priest Is Missing In England ■ Strikes Fear Into Hearts Os Refugees LONDON, UP —The mysterious disappearance of a humble antiCommunist Polish priest struck fear today into the hearts of East Europbari refugees in Britain. Where is Father Henry Borynski? Scotland Yard doesn't know. New clues in the past few days have led to dead ends. Intelligence mert and police said they were as- ignorant of the priest’s whereabouts as they more than a month ago when, he left his presbytery in the city of Bradford after receiving a mysterious telephone call. The principal theories are that Red agents kidnaped Father jßorynski and smuggled him back; into Polahd, or that Communists killed him. f , F .. When the priest went to the north England wool center last October to succeed Canon Boleslaw Martynellis as priest for the city’s 1,6U0 Poles, there were 'public complaints that two men from the Soviet embassy were trying to persuade refugees in Bradford to go behind the Iron Curtain again. The jovial, six-foot clergyman immediately became a leader of Bradford’s anti-Communists and helped Scotland Y’ard ease the pressure on the refugees. On a Monday evening a month ago. the priest received a myster-; ious call. He was heard to say in Polish: “Now this has Come. 1 go." Father Borynski had only two shillings and six pence (about ’3O cents’) when he walked out of the presbytery, leaving behind all his clothes and personal effects. i After several days the police were summoned. Since then military intelligence men and Scotland Yard detectives have traveled to Bradford on several occasions to aid local police. They checked underground routes from Western Europe to East Germany and Communist 1 Poland without finding a trace of the priest. Last Friday Canon Martynellis was found unconscious! in his study. Spelled out on his table in neatly arranged match sticks were the words “Milcz Klecho (Be silent. priest.)’’ The canon said he had been attacked," but Bradford police appeared skeptical. "The doctors say that I could have imagined this,” the eanbn said laier. “With my mind upset I may, they Say, have arranged those matches myself. But I still believe that I was struck. I believe that there are Communists here, that they did this to me to Stop me from talking.”

Propose India And Russia In Far; East Talks Report Britain And Other West Powers, May Make Proposal UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., UP —Reliable sources said-today Britain and some other western powers may formally propose inclusion of Russia and ’lndia in the Far East political conference on Korea despite United States opposition to such a step!: The British was understood to be that the conference, prescribed by the Pdnmunjom truce agreement, could serve no useful purpose if Russet were hot invited to attend it. j ' r , The British were said to feel less strongly about India’s inclusion. although they held to their, contention that India, as an Asian leader, could make valuable. con-i tributions to an overall Far Eastern settlemen tx~ ; U. S. ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. warned Thursday night it would he "chaotic and it might even be catastrophic" if any country other than the 16 whose, troops in Korea were invited to attend the conference for tlie U. N. J Lodge thus put the United States on record flatly against inviting Russia or India as a IJ. N. participant. although he sail he ha'd no objection to. having Russia present as a representative of tlie "other side." He contended this stand was in strict accord with the Panmunjpm agreement. U. N. general Rag indicated today he favors a broader interpretation lin order to include' some countries that did not have armed forces.in Korea. Haipmerskjold told newsmen today: '! "It is not for the secretary pepera! to comment on the news today concerning the views on the forthcoming Conference held ; by various delegations or on differences that may exist or arise between such , views. He can Only express his personal views, .as formed in the light of his special functions. I

“Having made this clear. I would like to express the hope that ways will be found to work out forniulaH and solutions . creating favorable conditions for a ;full exploration of the possibilities that may exist tor a constructive, cooperative approach to the problems the conference. “This may call for a broad interpretation of the terms of Article 60 of the armistice agreement.” , Article 60 recommends that the “governments of the countries concerned on both sides" pick representatives to a “political conference of a higher level of both sides” to be held by Oct. 27.

Two More Children Ice Box Victims - Two Massachusetts | Boys Are Suffocated HAVERHILL, Mass., UP -Two small boys were found suffocated inside an abandoned ice box-here late Thursday night, the -third tragedy of its kind in 36 hours. , In a day and a half, unused Ide boxes have lured 11 curious children to their death. The latest victims, whose bodies were found just before, midnight, were Edward P. (Butchy) Ferguson. 3. and Michael T. .Rogers, 4. A posse of 200 police, firemen and volunteers had searched for four hours before one searcher, Lucien Duval, 33, happened to Ibok in the ice box in a Haverhilj dump*‘l just got through reading about *those*other children so I decided to take a look,” Duval said. - ; Earlier Thursday an abandoned refrigerator at Richmond, Va., yielded the bodies of four barefoot boys. On Wednesday night, the bodies of five youngsters were found in an ice box at Crawfordsville, Ark. 1 In Washington, the refrigeration trade associationl of America called an industry-wide conference for next Tuesday to consider ways of preventing old ice boxes, from becoming death traps. i "Safety officials urged families to'remqve hinges and latches from any ice box or other air-tight container left where children might play. The series of deaths brought demands for legisilatioii and public safety programs to prevent recurrences. In Illinois, where several children have suffocated in icte boxes in recent years, a new law provides a SSO fine or 30 days in jail for storing or abandoning an ice box in places accessible to children without first removing the doors. v A 7-—4 f .7‘ ■ Stevenson On TV, Radio September 15 CHICAGO UP — Adlai E.
