sponsible for an epidemic of food poisoning that raged through a picnic at a Serbian monastery. At least 05 persons were stricken by the tainted food. The epidemic struck at the Serbian Orthodox Monastery near here where some 1,000 persons from three states gathered for Memorial Day observances. Victims of the food poisoning were rushed to hospital* in Libertyville, Waukegan, Highland Park, and Wheeling. Police and sheriffs cars, buses, ambulances and private automobiles made up the convoy which carried the moaning victims away for treatment. During the picnic at which lamb, pork and cheese were served, monks, their guests and children began rolling to the ground clasping their stomachs in agony. The Rev. Timothy Tepsic of the monastery said ‘”Diey were dropping like flies." Following the feast, samples from the menu were carried to the state health laboratories in Chicago for investigation. Norris Froelich, chief sheriff's deputy, said a Greek dairy product made of goat’s milk, feta cheese, apparently was responsible for the plague. He said the cheese ordinarily is found in a hard state, but was discovered to be in liquid form at the picnic. Persons who had apparently escaped the toxic effects of the feast, soon found they were mistaken. On their way home from the picnic grounds, they were belatedly caught by the effects of the poisoned food and forced to pull off the road and summon help. One man had already arrived at

Samples of the barbecued lamb and pork, also served to the celebrants, were also forwarded to the chemical laboratory for analysis. Memorial Day, said Froelich, is a major Serbian holiday, as is July 4. On this occasion persons from Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana assembled at the monastery for holiday observances, he said. A count of those afflecied showed 35 victims had been taken to Condell Memorial Hospital, 14 of whom were held over for observation. St. Theresa’s Hospital in Waukegan reported 37 victims, 10 of whom were retained overnight. Hospitals at Highland Park and Wheeling, reported four patients each. It was believed that other persons who attended the picnic also were afflicted but had not yet reported in. Although none of the victims appeared to be in critical condition, all were not reported out of danger. A Lake County deputy said, "It’s the ones who had to have their stomachs pumped who are in double."

Youth Missing Six Weeks Returns Home Italian Consul's Son In New York United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO (UP)—A 14-year-old boy who ran away from home to gain "self-assurance and maturity” had no regrets today despite the anguish his six - week disappearance caused his titled Italian parents. '’fire boy,Vittorio Barattleri, lost his self - assurance momentarily Thursday night when he bumped his head against a low doorway while descending from the plane that brought him home from New York. Tne tan, slender son of the Italian consul general to Chicago, was accompanied by his parents, Count and Countess Ludovico Barattieri. "Toto,” as he is called by the family, was shy with reporters at first but soon was conversing with them easily. He said he had “no regrets” about his spur-of-the-ino-ment decision to run off to. New York with $l2O in his pockets six weeks ago. “I thought I had fun,” he said. Seen by “Alert Citixen” His parents, who had borne the long month and a half of anxiety, were relaxed also. The count patted the handsome youth on the shoulder and reasserted he planned no disciplinary action. “I don’t believe in punishment,” he said. Asked about Vittorio's appearance, the count said, “He’s a little thinner—a little paler. I think he’ll stay home now.” “Nothing else matters, so long as he’s home now,” said the countess. Vittorio, who was the object of a nationwide search, was discovered Friday by the FBI as he strolled down a New York street. An “alert citizen” who recognized the youth from his pictures had tipped authorities. When first apprehended by agents, Vittorio admitted he had made an effort to fool the FBI into believing he was just another youngster from the Bronx. The agents then flashed a photograph of himself before his eyes, asking if it was anyone he knew. "Yeh,” he replied. Held Two Jobs Following a joyful reunion with his parents at New York Thursday morning, the boy then traced his steps for newsmen, saying he arrived in New York with S7O. Even though accustomed to the comforts of the Italian consulate, he apparently found no difficulty in adjusting to an $8 a week room on Manhattan’s East Side. After an. unguided tour of New York streets and movie houses, Vittorio acquired a social security card under the name John Rawl and held two jobs, as a messenger and later as a busboy in a restaurant. Why had he run away? “I wanted some excitement and I thought it would provide me with some self - assurance and maturiity,” he said. New Marion Mayor Sworn Into Office , MARION (UP) — Willard G. Blackman becomes mayor of Marion today. Blackman advances from the position of city controller this afternoon in a ceremony in City Hall, succeeding Edward Wert, who resigned because of health with nearly three years of his term remaining.

Jobless Pay Claims Increase In State » INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — The Indiana Employment Security Division reported Thursday that unemployment insurance claims last week showed an increase over the previous week. But William Stalnaker, division director, said the increase was not serious. He said it came about because of minor temporary layoffs and heavy rains which slowed outdoor work.

President Batista Moves On Rebels Takes On Campaign On Cuban Rebels HAVANA — President Fulgencia Batista today took over the military campaign against Cuba’s rebels. There were indications he would set up “death zones” in southeastern Cuba to stem rebel infiltration. . Army general headquarters disclosed a new general operations command, headed by Batista, had been set up to stamp out the rebel threat in Oriente province. Maj. Gen. Francisco Tabemilla also said Cuban army reinforcements already have been rushed into the region. Tabernilla said the plan of operation by the new military "brain-trust” is designed to force the rebels to stand and fight. He said the stategy will be carried out in a “progressive" manner nhd indicated it may be necessary to evacuate farm families from the troubled area. Observers said the evacuation probably would be the first step in setting up so-called “death zones.” After the evacuation of the civilians, army troops probably would be ordered to shoot to kill persons found in the cleared areas, they said. The government newspaper Tiempo identified the rebels as the force which participated in an • apparently successful attack • against the army garrison at • Übero in the Sierra Maestra 1 Mountains. The army reported 8 11 soldiers were killed. Unofficial reports claimed the rebels 1 took 25 prisoners and the garri--1 son’s arsenal. 1 In another clash* Tuesday on ■ the outskirts of Holguin, the army • claimed 16 rebels from a newly landed force were killed. Rayon amounts to one-fifth of all U. S. man-made fiber production.
