growth and as a result there is some talk of creating new states under federal control out of such areas. The Socialist mayor, who has held office since 1948, told the annual US. Conference of Mayors that some of this talk is merely humorous but “there is a serious note to this suggestion because the metropolitan areas overlap several states and many jurisdictions." Twenty-three major metropolitan areas are interstate in character, Zeidler said. Among these are northeast Illinois and southeast Pennsylvania, metropolitan areas created by the growth of Philadelphia and Chicago. He urged that metropolitan areas facing the growth problem form study commissions to deal with it The mayors were told by Harold S Vance, a member of the Atomic Energy Commission, that nuclear reactors for peaceful purposes would not be harmful to the health of city residents. Nuclear energy as a source of power will not be needed in the United States for a generation, he said. In an address on airports and the jet age, retired Brig. Gen. Milton W. Arnold, vice president of the Air Transport Assn., said airports would have to handle up to 1,000 per eent more freight

Charles ran to safety and 6-month-old Jacqueline was carried to safety by firemen. 800,000 Decrease . In U.S. Employed Economists See No Cause To Alarm WASHINGTON CT — Government economists said today there is no cause for alarm in the fact that total U. S. employment declined 800,000 in August. Despite the drop-off from July’s record high of 67,200,000 employed persons, the. economists said a simultaneous August decline in unemployment taken together with a high level of non-farm employment added up to signs of strength in the economy. The August employment figures were released Tuesday. A reduction of 900,000 in the number of farm workers last month was desevribed as "somewhat of a freak” because of unusual weather conditions earlier this year. Government economists pointed out that most of those leaving farm work were housewives or students who are not looking for another job and hence are out of the labor force. That means they are not considered unemployed. Ship Out Doses Os Asian Flu Vaccine INDIANAPOLIS — W — PitmanMoore Co., Indianapolis. announced it would ship 209.000 dos'es of Asian flu vaccine today.

Reports Few Trout Are Being Caught At Geneva Quarry Only a few trout are now being taken from the stone quarry near Geneva, which has been stocked twice this year, district game warden Jack Hurst said today. During the early part of the season quite a few were taken, but since the second planting of fish, few have been caught. The conservationist said he believed that the method of fishing for the pond trout would have to change in the early fall, as the'fish have changed their feeding habits. The season is still open for pond trout,, Hurst said. Some people have already started fishing in Rainbow lake, near Geneva, although it has not been officially stocked as yet, he added Many fish have been released privately, including bass, catfish, blue gills and crappie. Hurst advised catching those released now, and not releasing any more adult fish. He stated that those adults would reproduce next spring, while those released later this fall by the state conservation department will not spawn until a year from next spring. But that time the others will be large enough to feed on them, and will reduce drastically the number of fish in the lake. COURY NEWS Marriage License Raymond M. Schwartz, 20.

Prosecutor To End Long Case Argument Scores Testimony Os Defense Witnesses HOLLYWOOD (UP)—Prosecutor William Ritzi was expected to ring down the curtain today on the state’s charges that Confidential Magazine harassed big name entertainers by printing smutty, untrue yarns about them. Ritzi indicated he would conclude his long final argument sometime today. The trial will be in recess Thursday and the defense probably won't get a chance to launch into its final summation until Friday. The prosecutor Tuesday, in his second day of summation, attacked testimony given by defense witnesses. He charged that the defense failed to prove the truth of lurid Confidential stories about movie actress Maureen O'Hara and Negro singer Dorothy Dandridge. Ritzi pointed out to the jury that there were “repeated inconsistencies” in testimony given by James Craig who admitted selling a story about Miss O’Hara to Confidential. Ritzi angrily called Craig a “hungry liar." “I have never seen a witness so impeached on the stand as this witness (Craig) was,” Ritzi said. “Mr. Craig verified in minute detail everything in the (CoAfidential* story. Here is a man caught in his own trap” Craig, an independent television producer in London, had testified that while he was employed as an assistant manager at Grauman’s Chinese Theater he saw the redhaired actress and a “Latin lover ' heatedly cuddling in the loges. He said the romantic episode took place in 1953.

Peters said the firing of Letts, of New Castle, for purchasing SIB,OOO worth of air conditioners without authority was a “misunderstanding.” He said Letts was not the person who issued the unauthorized purchase order as previously believed.

Cool Sea Breezes Aid Fire Fighters Light Rainfall In Majority Os U.S. By UNITED PRESS California firefighters got some help from cool sea breezes in the week-long battle against a series of blazes which are blackening timberland, but would have appreelated reinforcements in the form of rain which fell over the rest of the country in a broad pattern. Light rains sputtered through the cloudy skies persisting over New England during the night. Exceptions to the otherwise light deposits were Newark, N.J., soaked with 1.5 inches. Erie, Pa , .75 inch, and Buffalo, N.y., .50 inch. South Carolina and northeastern Georgia took the heaviest wetting down in another broad, but light, rainfall pattern. Rain again was expected over much of thfe nation today, except California. However, moist sea breezes helped alleviate the state’s fire danger. Rain and cloudy skies were expected over New England, the Eastern Seaboard, and along the strip of southern states into Arkansas. Scattered thundersotrms and showers pounded Kansas as the main body of the nation’s rain fell on the central portion extending from the mid-Mississippi Valley to the central Plains and the southern Rockies. lowa was hardest hit of the midMississippi Valley states, while the Rockies escaped with light, scattered shower. No rain managed to cross the Rockies, as fair, although cooler, weather prevailed in that area. West of the Divide temperature readings were mainly in the 50s and 60s. Nationwide extremes early today ranged from a high of 85 at El Centro, Calif., to a low of 29 in Fraser, Colo.

Cites Successful Heart Replacement Surgeon Describes Transplant On Dog CHICAGO (UP)—A Baltimore, Md., surgeon today described a' successful heart replacement in dogs and said similar heart transplants among humans may be "within the realm of practicability.” Dr Edgar F. Berman of Sinai Hospital in Baltimore described the historic operation in an address before the 22nd annual congress of the International College of Surgeons. He made the report on behalf of himself and two collaborators. Dr. Mauricio Golberg, surgeon of Cordova, Argentina, and Dr. Leonard Akman, cardiologist at Sinai Hospital. “Replacement of the damaged or incompetent heart, long a challenge to the imagination, may be within the realm of practicability,” he saAf. Berman said actually two heart replacements were accomplished in dogs, but in the first case the heart functioned for only 21 minutes. In the second operation, the heart worked for one hour and 57 minutes before going into erratic action. The heart was restored to normal beat several times later through artificial pacemaker stimulation. “This apparently could have been sustained longer with the use of the pacemaker,” Berman said. “The experiment was purposefully terminated.” Berman said that one of the most important factors of the experiment was that until only recently, the survival of transplanted tissue and organs between the same specie has been limited, except in the case of identical twins where successful kidney transplants .have been performed. Mineral production was reported in 1956 from 230 of Texas’ 254 counties.
