Diplomats were surprised, even shocked, by the kidnaping and arrest of Russell Langelle and his I ouster by the Soviets on charges) I of cspinonage. But they tended to j regard the incident as an isolated I episode rather than any switch to, the methods of the cold war. All signs, in the belief of officials here, still point to a continuation of the “spirit of Camp David,” as far as Khrushchev is concern--1 ed, coupled with a genuine de- ; sire on his part to get along with j the West.

The Langelle incident jolted officials here. However, -they did not regard it as any indication of ! a swithchback to told war tactics. I The general British view was i summed U P in an editorial in the i Times of London which said Monday, "The incident is a sign that the Russian police services are still strong. It is probable that the affair was due to the momentum of the machine rather than any deliberate decision by the government." .

Marshall then will be buried in family-only rites in Arlington National Cemetery. The nation will give its last tribute—a 19-gun salute, fhree volleys of rifle shots, the melancholy notes of “Taps”— when the distinguished old soldie’.' lis brought to ms final resting ' place.

Sixth Road Scandal Trial Is Underway INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A jury is expected to be empaneled today in the bribery trial of former Indiana state highway purchasing director Cecil McDonough. Eleven prospective jurors were seated tentatively Monday in Marion Criminal Court, including five . women. Defense and prosecution ! attorneys agreed Quickly on the jurors and used only one of their 20 peremptory challenges. McDonough, 59, was indicted nearly 14 months ago on two ! counts of accepting nearly $15,000 in bribes and kickbacks from highway equipment salesman Arthur J. Mogilner for helping Mogilner get lucrative state contracts. It is the sixth trial arising from the sensational highway scandals more than four years ago. A number of , influential state officials and private individuals were found guilty and sentenced to prison for crimes ranging from bribery to ■ perjury. . The state’s chief witness is expected to be Mogilner. who turned j state's evidence when the 1 scandals were disclosed and received a suspended sentence, after his testimony helped convict William E. Sayer and Elmer W. Sherwood on bribery charges. Both men were close associates of former Gov. George Craig. File Contempt Charge On Two : Union Leaders 84 Contempt A1153a 10-20 ... ... WASHINGTON (UPD—A federal grand jury today brought contempt of Congress charges against two union officials and two other persons in connection with testimony before the Senate Rackets Committee. O e of those named was Maurice A. Hutcheson of Indianapolis, Ind., president of the UVNITED Brotherhood of Carpenters. The others are William Presser of University Heights, Ohio, and a friend of Teamster President James R. Hoffa and president of Cleveland Teamster Local 555; Ernest Mark High of New York, editor of Spotlight Publications; and Peter Licavoli, known as the 'leader of the so-called “Purple Gang” of Detroit, Mich.

Hutcheson was charged with refusing to tell the rackets group whether Carpenter Union funds wre paid to Max Raddock, a New York publisher, for personal expenses. Indian Summer Sun Over Most Os U.S. United Press International An Indian summer sun shone on most of the United States today. The U.S. Weather Bureau reported the second straight day of -almost nationwide sunshine, broken only by showers in Florida and the far Northwest and a narrow .cloud belt from Washington to North Dakota. But chill winds sent the mercury plunging into the upper 20s in New England, eastern Montana and the Dakotas and kept temperatures along the Atlantic Seaboard below the normal minimum for mid-October. A new 'blast of cold Canadian air dropped temperatures at Great Falls, Monta 25 degrees, from 59 to 34. But Traverse City, Mich., reported a 54 early today—-25 degrees higher than the sub-freezing 29 of a day before—and the entire Great Lakes region recorded readings at least 8-10 degrees higherLight showers dotted the north Pacific Coast, dropping Me-inch of rain on Newport, Ore., in six hours. In Florida, only traces were reported except at Palm Beach, which recorded a 1.36-inch downpour. The bureau predicted showers today from the Pacific Northwest inland to Montana and Wyoming, along the Gulf Coast and in Florida and in northern New England, with a few snow flurries expected in the northern Great Lakes. A slight warming was forecast for the Atlantic Seaboard,. with colder air invading the Plains from the northern and central Rockies to parts of the upper and mid-Mississippi Valley and the upper Great Lakes.

Optimistic On Control Over Brush Fires LOS ANGELES (UPD — More than 2,500 firefighters Joday were expected to contain the.v14,200acre brush fire'tMr has' framed through Angeles National Forest the past week. Fire officials remained cautious but said if weather conditions continued favorable they would have the blaze fully encircled during the morning hours. They began releasing equipment and firefighters Monday night but plan to leave a *arge complement on hand for weeks to handle mopup operations. Some 700 men Monday contained a 3,500-acre fire near Castaic, 40 miles northeast of the I central blaze in rugged mountain--1 i ous territory. • The fire started \ Sunday when a fired bullet tore through a high-tension power line. I A Long Beach school camp ’ camp facility had to be evacuated Monday when fire broke through 1 the northeast corner of the An--1 geles crest blaze from Bear Can--1 hon. There were 10 adults and ! three children in the camp. Installations on Mt. Wilson were protected by firefighters when the flames crept up the slope, of San Gabriel Peak to within three miles of the facility. The Nike missile site on Mt. Disappointment was encompassed by flames but a strong line set up was expected to protect it from damage. Officials said the fire probably would be held on a line extending from Mt. Disappointment through San Gabriel Peak, Mt. Markham and back into Bear Canyon. The fire has brought death to • two Zuni Indian firefighters and - injury to at least 15 others. Reaction Cool To : Traffic Proposal United Press International , An Indiana highway official predicted today a proposal by Sen. Clifford P. Case (R-N.J) for a nationwide clearinghouse to exchange traffic information would ’ travel a bumpy road to failure. b “Senator Case’s proposal should b go no farther than the penciled notes on his cuff,” said Lucien . Bever, director of the Indiana Traffic Safety Division. , Bever said one isolated but j very tragic accident in Case s ‘ state was not justification for establishing “another sprawling ; federal bureau.” . Case cited the deaths of nine ’ college coeds and a professor in a New Jersey bus-truck collision i as an example for the need to . have the government act to im- ; prove highway safety. “Case might be interested in ’ knowing that the convention of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators had a similar proposal and dismissed it ; as not worthy of consideration,” . Bever said. Officials in other states agreed with Bever, although not phrasing . their answers as strongly. , Daniel Schutz, head of Wiscon- ‘ sin’s Highway Safety Division, said he cannot see the need for a ’ nationwide clearing house on traffic offenders or establishment of minimum standards for drivers and vehicles. It would be repetitious and confusing on the national level, Schutz said, “and I can’t imagine what would be gained.” William S. Huitz, New York state motor vehicle commissioner, said the suggestion was basically • good “but at present is not work- ■ able because of the differences in state laws governing motor ve- ■ hicles.” f Ohio Gov. Michael V. DiSalle said he opposed Case’s plan beI cause “I think most states are ' capable of establishing their own • standards and if you try to do anything of this sort on a federal, basis, you really have another big! bureau.” Take First Places In Twirling Contests Miss Jeannie Smith, drum majorette of Adams Central high school, and one of her students. Miss Joy Lynn Arnold, five-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Arnold, entered the N.B.T.A. national open twirling contest held at Richmond Saturday. / Miss Arnold competed in her first contest against other youngsters under six years of age and won a first place trophy.

She acquired a second place medal in another phase of twirling. A senior at Adams Central high school Miss Smith is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clark Smith. Three other Adams Central twirlers went to Indianapolis' to the NIS.B.V.A. state twirling contest, where Miss Sharon Mattox received a first place rating on a solo and she and Miss Toni Rupert captured another first place for their duet. The girls later joined with Miss Arvilla Smith to form a trio.
