(UPI) - Retired General Motors President Harlow H. Curtice planned to attend funeral services here todny for Harry W. Anderson, who was killed by a shot from Curtice’s gun while the men were hunting. Anderson, who would have been 68 on Christmas Day, was GM vice president in charge of personnel until his retirement in 1956. Services were to be held at the First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor.

Man Now Positive Wife Was Pregnant PITTSBURGH (UPIV— Michael J. Kotun Jr., 39, was positive today that his wife really was pregnant the past several months. He had a 7 pound, 6',4 ounce son to prove it. His wife Audrey, 33, fondling the child at St. Joseph's Hospital where both mother and baby were taken after the impromptu delivery, was quite sure herself. But up until Thursday — when the baby was born — Mrs. Kotun would have denied a pregnancy emphatically. And deny it she did when her husband asked her a few times. "She was getting heavy and I kidded her about it," said Kotun. a television cameraman at KDKATV. “I asked her a couple of times if she was pregnant. She told me, ‘lf I am, I don’t know anything about it’." She found out Thursday. She awakened feeling ill and went to the bathroom where she delivered the child. A Pittsburgh obstetrician, a bit skeptical of Mrs. Kotun’s story, said that the possibilities of a woman going through pregnancy without recognizing any symptoms was “very rare.” The Kotuns have one other child, Richard, 6.

Edsel Resale Value In Sharp Decrease DETROIT (UPI) — The resale value of Edsels dropped as much as S4OO today, depending upon the age of the car.

He Said the company would give all persons who bought a newi Edsel before production was halted Thursday a certificate worth S3OO on the purchase of other cars produced by Ford. Dealers caught with 1959 and 1960 Edsels still in stock also will get rebates from the company. Mills said dealers will be allowed S4OO on all unsold 1960 models and S3OO on all unsold 1959 models. The company produced a total of 2.609 1960 model Edsels before production was cut off. Total production since the car was introduced in July, 1957, was 109,468. The Edsel was close enough to other Ford car lines so that many of the parts were interchangeable. This will mean it will be easier to get parts for them in the future. Ford also said its dealers would continue to stock parts for the Edsel.

UN Assembly Attention On V Disarmament UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI) —Unanimous General Assembly approval was assured today for a resolution sending Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev’s “total disarmament” plan and all other proposals to next year’s 10-power talks without endorsing any. A resolution to that effect, carrying the unprecedented sponsorship of all 82 United Nations members, was unanimously passed—withtut a formal vote — by the wassehzly's hai Political Committee Nov. 2. Assembly approval was a formality. The Assembly’s attention was riveted on disarmament at its meeting today with the question of France’s projected Sahara Desert atomic test and Ireland’s proposal to freeze membership in the world’* “nuclear club” both on the agenda. The Political Committee approved a 22-power Afro-Asian resolution o Nov. 12 calling upon france to give up its plans for the Sahara test because of fears in the neighboring Arab countries of radioactive fallout dangers. The committee’s 46 - 26 vote, however, was short of the twothirds majority required for Assembly approval. Intensive consultations were held seeking a compromise that would assure final Assembly approval. Action by the Political Committee late Thursday made the fate of the Sahara resolution more or less academic- The committee, by a 60-1 vote, with 17 abstentions, approved a 23-power Afro-Asian resolution appealing to all countries voluntarily forego nuclear weapons tests. France opposed. The United States and Britain led the abstainers.

Tax Break In Swap Os Savings Bonds WASHINGTON (UPI) — Americans who own series E savings bonds can get a tax break soon by swapping them for other government bonds paying interest twice a year. The Treasury said it expected hundreds of thousands of the estimated 35 million owners of E-bonds to exchange them for series H savings bonds. The Treasury announced Thursday that it would allow anyone who swapped the bonds to defer fax payments on the interest built up while the El-bonds were held. Retired persons especially were expected to take advantage of the new H-for-E trade which can be made starting Jan. 1. Officials said the Treasury had received thousands of requests from holders of E-bonds who wanted to trade them in for other government securities that pay interest during the life of the bond. E-bonds pay interest in a lump sum. When they are cash^-in.' H-bonds, which are sold in denominations of SSOO and higher, pay interest every six months. The rate, if they are held for 10 years, is 3.75 per cent, the same as for the E-bonds. A taxpayer who held a sizeable number of E-bonds and hesitated to cash them in because of the large one-shot tax bite, now can swap them for H-bonds and pay the tax in small amount* as he receives interest pay menu. Treasury officials sakjf regulations and instructions to bond owners on the exchange wpttld be announced in mid-Decemw|v
