Mrs. Hannan, the former Cecilia Thonig, was unable to leave her hospital bed at Lackland Air Force Base to come to the funeral. Mrs. Hannan said she was glad the quints were born and said it was God’s will that none of them lived more than 18 hours. “I understand God’s will, not his way," she said. “I am happy to have brought five ’daughters into the world.” Kentucky Senatdr Warns Steel, Union DETROIT (UPD — Sen. Thurston Morton tF-Ky.), chairman of the Republican National Committee. lias indirectly warned the steel industry and union to settle the long strike before the next congressional session. Morton said Thursday both sides would be better off if they settled during the 80-day coolingoff period sought by the government. He said otherwise “unwise” legislation might be passed by Congress.”

Soviet Ambassador Leaves Washington WASHINGTON (UPD — Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Menshikov was on his way home today and diplomats asked how long he would stay. An embassy official said “smiling Mike’s” trip was a vacation and probably would last a month. But the diplomatic corps couldn’t help speculate about Menshikov's sudden departure. The Soviet envoy told Undersecretary of State Robert Murphy of his intentions in a hastily-sched-uled appointment late Wednesday. Early Thursday, he left Washington for New York where he is expected to take off Saturday for Moscow. Menshikov, who won his nickname because of his ever-ready smile since his arrival in Washington in February 1968, has not been seen in the past two weeks except for his trip Wednesday to meet Murphy. The embassy’s number two man, Mikhail Smirnovsky, has been handling Soviet relations with the State Department. He also has been taking his boss’s place at social functions. The vagaries of Kremlin politics led diplomats in Washington to suggest Menshikov’s vacation may be permanent. They noted, for instance, that Khrushchev switched diplomats in Peiping immediately after his recent trip to Communist China. They also noted that Khrushchev apparently snubbed Menshikov on a couple of occasions during his visit to the United StatesDuring the last days of Khrushchev’s trip, the ambassador was shoved more and more into the background. The inevitable smile was missing.

Difficulties Beset Little Summit Meet VADUZ, Liechtenstein (UPD — The four delegates to Western Europe’s “little summit” conference split down the middle today shortly before they gathered at a Liechtenstein hilltop to think of ways of luring tourists away from their big neighbors. The “little summit” meeting or “summit-ette” as some called it involved the tiny principality of Liechtenstein, the tiny principality of Monaco, the tiny re-i public of San Marino and the tiny republic of Androaa. They met to discuss tourists and boosting the revenue-producing stamp trade. But the chief delegates of Liechtenstein and Monaco were squared off against one another on the question of whether the “little four” should be expanded into a “little seven.” \ Monacan delegate Gabriel 01livier rippled the smooth international wate/s by proposing that Luxembourg, the Vatican State, and Sark be invited to the “little summit.” “No, no, no!” exclaimed Baron Edouard van Falz-Fein, host of the "little summit” conference and Lichtesstein chief of tourism. The baron said Luxembourg was too big to be considered little. .the independent English Channel island of Sark, inhabited chiefly by birds, “doesn’t come up to our stature,” and the Vatican State “doesn’t fit into the picture either.” The delegates from Andorra and San Marino studied the tense international situation and announced they were temporarily neutral on the question of expanding the little four to a little seven organization. Burglary Suspect Arrested By FBI INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Jack Harold Richardson, 26, formerly of Lafayette, was arrested by the FBI here late Thursday on charges he fled Indiana to avoid prosecution on second degree burglary charges. Richardson, sought in the Sept. 7 break-in at the Omar Baking Co., Lafayette, was working a a truck driver and living at a trailer camp, agents said.

Illegal To Vole For Opposite Candidates INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A veteran member of the Indiana State Election Board said today a municipal election voter next month cannot cast a vote for a Democrat and a Republican whose names are opposite each other on the ballot. Edwin Steers Sr., chairman of the board, said the question was raised in some cities as to whether it was legal to vote for two men of different political parties running in the same city councilmanic district. “Definitely not,” Steers said. “The reasop they are split into districts or wards on the ballot Is because the council should not be overbalanced from one section of a city. “If all the councilman were , from the First and Second Wards, I who would handle the specific I problems of people in the Third land Fourth Wards?" Steers said it is impossible to vote for opposite candidates on a voting machine and consequently it would be illegal to do the sa e thing on a paper ballot where it iwas mechanically possible, j Steers said that in all Indiana I cities except 15 of the largest, voters from the entire city casT ballots in all district councilmanic ; races as well as at-large nomi- , nees. I But he said in 15 second-class ; cities, only voters living in the I same district as the councilmanic candidate can ballot in that race lif he runs as a district nominee. I Steers said he didn't know why that law affected only second-class ! cities. However, it excludes Indianapolis. which is a first-class city, and all cities with a population of less than 35.000. Steers said he was “swamped" with what he called “the usual number of inquiries" from election officials regarding problems not specifically covered by law. • “There are a number of communities holding elections for the first time,” he said. “We expect
