Poisoned Fish Scare Narrows To Single Area PHILADELPHIA (UPD — A poisoned fish scare that spread through 16 eastern states after the death of a three-year-old boy and a farm laborer was narrowed bv health officials today to the Philadelphia and south New Jersey area. Persons in that region were warned to throw away any filet of flounder or fluke they may have purchased since Monday. Authorities said all poisoned fish except that already purchased by the public has been recovered. Dead were Dale Klineschmidt, 3, of Haddon Heights, N.J., and Charles McQuade, 53, of Philadelphia. Both ate flounder dinners Tuesday night, and medical authorities suspected fish poisoning. Mrs: Marie Povelko, 49, was listed in critical condition at Hunterdon Medical Center, Fleming!ton, N.J. Physicians suspected } fish poisoning pending the result !of laboratory tests. All the poisoned fish was in the form of filet, according to Philadelphia City Health Commissioner Dr James P. Dixon. Dixon said the poison involved was sodium nitrite, a chemical similar to salt in appearance which sometimes is used in weak solution to preserve fish between the time it is processed and the time it is put pn sale in refrigerated cases. Dixon speculated that the solution used might have been stronger than intended or that the chemical might have been mistaken for salt and used to wash the fish. An official of the Food and Drug Administration said he had no reason to believe that any of the fish went outside the Philadelphia and south New Jersey i areas. , .. "As far as we know it is all confined to one Philadelphia area i distributor and his outlets,” said .Robert C. Stanfill, chief of the Philadelphia district of the Federal Food and Drug Administration. I "He has recaUed all that was left

Authorized Spending More Than Income INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The recently adjourned Indiana Legislature authorized the spending of five million dollars more than the state will take in during the next two years, according to figures released today by the State Budget Committee. But incoming budget director Philip Conklin said “it’s nothing i to worry about.” He said,the state will still have “ a safe balance” in the general fund surplus at the end of the biennium. The General Assembly authorized spending of $1,963,787,000 during the coming biennium beginning next July 1. Os that total $1,053,322,645 was included in the I budget. Another $9,450,000 was added in other spending bills, including additional federal aid. ' Os the additional amounts $3,250,000 went for flood control and another million dollars was| authorized for school construction ; loans. The spending program is almost 68 million- dollars more than the 1957 Legislature authorized for the current biennium and is 21 millions more than the amount recommended by Governor Handley's budget committee. The money will be spent at the rate of $1,400,000 each day of the biennium and will cost every man, woman and child almost $232. Os the total spending. 449 million dollars will be returned to local communities in the form of state aid for schools, roads and welfare programs. The general fund surplus, expected to be 37 million dollars when the present biennium ends j June 30, will be reduced by $5,292,000 during the next biennium and will stand at less than 32 millions by mid-1961.

Youthful Bicyclist Escapes Injury A local youngster escaped without injuries Wednesday afternoon when the bicycle he was riding collided with an auto at the inter- I section of Monroe and Seventh streets.

The bicycle rider was headed south on Seventh street' when the mishap occurred. The city police investigated the accident which occurred at 3:36 p.m. 1 Thirteen States Face Loss Os House Seats ' - ■ • i nJ l WASHINGTON <UPD—Thirteen states face the loss of House seats and presidential electoral votes because of population' shifts and . the granting of statehood to (Alaska and Hawaii. A Census Bureau projection of ’ the results of next year’s population count, which starts April 1, j 1960. shows that California is exipected to pick up seven seats, : Florida would gain four. The reshuffle of House seats j will take effect with the 1962 elections. The first presidential election affected will be in 1964. A state gets one presidential elector (for each representative and senator. The expected reapportionment would result in 19 seats being lost by the 13 states. New York and Pennsylvania would suffer the greatest loss, with three each. Arkansas and Massachusetts would lose two each while one seat would be taken from each of these states: Alabama. Georgia, lowa, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina and West Virginia. Only six states are expected to gain House seats. In addition to the gains in California and Florida. one seat each would be picked up by Hawaii, Michigan, Texas and Arizona. Although 19 seats would be lost, only 17 would be gained by other states. This is because the reapportionment would reduce the House to its permanent 435 seats from the temporary 437 created by the admission of Alaska and Hawaii. Hawaii, voted into the union with one representative, would get two under the projected census results. Alaska would keep the one House seat it gained with statehood. The expected shift seats would leave New York still with ‘the largest representation in the House, 40. California would be in second place with 37 as Pennsylvania dropped to third with 27 If the- census experts are right, it will be the biggest reapportionment of House seats since the 1930 census when there was a 27seat shift. Each state’s representation in the House is based on its population. The new projection was made public by Chairman John Lesinski <D-Mich.) of the House post office and civil service subcommittee on census and government statistics.

Egyptians Suspect Soviet Doubletalk By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Edtior CAIRO, United Arab Republic <UPI — The Egyptians suspect they are getting diplomatic doubletalk from the Russians. No matter what other preoccupation may occupy the Arab world, there is one that is con-stant—-their enmity for Israel. And it is in the matter of Israel that they think they are getting double talk from the Soviet Union. The Israeli issue was at die top of the agenda of this spring’s meeting of the Arab League. The- league. headquarters .sits in the middle of downtown Cairo. It is a solid-appearing building of yellow stone set in the midst of a sandy courtyard. Spring flowers line the driveway approach to the entrance. There is a reception hall and high-ceilinged rooms on either side. Discuss Refugees In one of these rooms is the office of Abdul Halek Hassouna. secretary general of the league which ranks Israel as its bitterest enemy. The main topic was the flow of Jewish refugees from Romania. Russia, he said, has given the league blanket assurances that no Russian Jews would be permitted to emigrate to Israel. Romania has said its emigration is limited and is for humanitarian purposes. “But.” he said, “when we hear Mr. David Ben-Gurion (premier of Israeli asking for more refugees and planning to get into Israel 100,000 in 1959 and know o« the existence of receiving centers in Vienna and the activities of agents in Italy looking after them and facilities for their trip to Israel, we cannot help but feel there is a planned program for this purpose.” Echoes Hassouna An Egyptian government official echoed Hassouna but ir stronger language. “The Russians may say the} are not permitting emigration,” he said, “but we don’t believe them. “Romania. What'-s that? What’s to prevent Russian Jews coming out through Romania as easily as somewhere else?” The Arabs believe the new surge of Jew is h emigration through Romania is Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev’s -way of disciplining United Arab Republic President Gamal Abdel Nasser for his clampdown on Communism inside the Egyptian-Syrian UAR. See Other Revem*e Measures And they believe other revenge measures soon may be instituted now that Nasser is committed to outright hatred for the Commu-nist-supported regime in neighboring Iraq which is competing with him for leadership of the Arab world. Hassouna is pro-Western but bitter against the United States for its firm support of Israel. He says there is but one solution to the Israeli question. That is for Israel to restore their lands to approximately one million Palestine refugees. He claims the refugees themselves refuse to be resettled elsewhere and he bitter ly blames Israel for preventing establishment of a new, separate Arab state to be carved, just as Israel was, out of the former mandate of Palestine. American families own more than 493 billion dollars’ worth of life insurance. Industry sources estimate that U.S. factories sold 3,800,600 phonographs in 195®, compared with nearly five million in 1957.

Weather Picture Is Ruled By Showers United Press International Indiana today got its first tornado alert of the new spring season. A severe weather forecast from the U. S. Weather Bureau warned of the possibility of severe thunderstorms with possible tornadoes and damaging windstorms in a five-state area including West Central Indiana. “Thunderstorm activity is expected to intensify eariy this afternoon in Southern Illinois, Western Kentucky and Western Tennessee and move eastward this evening,” the forecast said. 1 “A few of these thunderstorms are expected to become severe with tornadoes and damaging windstorms in an area along and 80 miles to the north and south of a line from 30 miles north of Malden, Mo., to 40 miles south of Indianapolis, during the period 12 noon to 6 p.m. CST. today Thursday.” Rain preceded the alert and ended three days of balmy conditions with near 80-degree temperatures. ■/ ■ Showers and some thunderstorm activity was predicted for the entire state, ending tonight and holding the mercury down from Wednesday’s high of 79 at Evansville.
