The resolution ordered the Director of City Transit to study the feasibility of substituting trackless trolleys on Frankford ave. from City Line to Bridge st.

to connect with the Frankford elevated. Surface trolley route No. 66 now operates over the five-mile stretch. Councilman George Mansfield said the city would finance the purchase of the trackless trolleys and overhead wires through a bond issue.

He decided to make a special stop and greet the barber who had cut his hair for some 18 years. The barber recognized him at once. "Glad to see you, Dave," he said. And they shook hands vigorously, slapped each other on the back, gabbed away for a while. Then the barber went to work on a customer.

The broker stood around chatting. Then, about 20 minutes later, the barber said: "By the way, Dave, you're not waiting for a haircut, are you?" "Sure," said Dave. "Oh, I can't take care of you," said the barber. "You have to make an appointment here." Maybe you've heard it but if you haven't here's the story Secretary of Internal Affairs William S.

Corson in Montgomery County Court at Norristown. 2D HEARING AVOIDED Counsel for the board agreed yes terday to issuance of the injunction at a conference with counsel for Alen L.

Emlen of Stenton Blue Bell, who had sought the Gilbert High, attorney for the board, said he agreed with Paul A. Davis, 4th, attorney for Emlen, to have the rule made absolute, so as to avoid the necessity for two hearings. PUPILS RETURN When Emlen, acting as a taxpayer, filed a bill in equity to prevent township school authorities from carrying out their consolidation plans, Judge Corson set today as a date for hearing on the preliminary injunction. Agreement to the injunction will eliminate the need for such a hearing, and after Judge Corson has issued the preliminary injunction today, he will set a date for a hearing on a permanent injunction. In this way, only one argument will have to be heard.

Pupils at the Whitpain township school were back in classes yesterday after picketing the school Tuesday in protest against the consolidation and resignation of Bertolet Bossier, their principal. Bossier persuaded the children to return. Gold Mine Hold Man 1950 in Slasher Us illustration with the doors closed. As (Children JFlee privilege. IN NEWLY-BUILT AREA Mansfield said the fee would be sufficient to amortize the cost of the change-over, so that the substitution would not cost the city any money.

The route traverses an area in which many new homes have been constructed in recent years. Mansfield said the present "old-fashioned" trolley route is inadequate to meet the transportation needs of a growing community. In another action, Council authorized the filling of 179 jobs which, while vacant, had been "frozen" in a resolution approved March 23. The new places actually will not cost the city any new money for the reason that the jobs were provided lor in the current budget. ALLOTMENT OF JOBS Of the total, 13 positions were approved for the Memorial Hall recreation center; 58 were requested and authorized for the Department of Public Works, 79 for the municipal hospitals and the remainder scattered among other departments.

Council two weeks ago added 325 employes to the municipal payroll. About 100 were policemen, 88 represented new positions at the House of Correction, with the rest distributed a number of departments and bureaus. WOULD TIE UP FUNDS City Controller Joseph S. Clark, in a letter to Council, announced that he had informed municipal department heads that he would refuse to countersign warrants involving sums left over from contract appropriations without councilmanic approval. Earlier in the day Council's Pub lic Safety Committee approved an i ordinance fixing a $5 fine for illegal! parking in the area between Spring Garden and Pine sts.

and between the two rivers and $2 for similar violations elsewhere in the city. Mayor Bernard Samuel sent to Council an ordmance authorizing a revision of the curb lines at the southwest corner of Spring Garden and Broad sts. It provides for a slanting cut-off in the existing 35-foot sidewalk on Spring Garden st. starting at a point 90 feet west of Broad st. to a maximum of 15 feet at Broad st.

The purpose, it was explained, is to make the west side of Broad st. at this location conform more closely to the opposite side of the thoroughfare, with a resultant reduction in traffic congestion. Ail-Out Aid Urged For Refugee Jews American Jews "cannot turn away from Israel today," but must provide all possible help to refugees "languishing in the camps in Europe and North Africa" to get them safely to the new homeland, said Ira A. Hirschmann, former American diplomat and UNRRA official, in an address at the Adelphia Hotel last night. Speaking at the annual dinner of of department store executives and retail stores division of the Allied Jewish Appeal, Hirschmann told 250 businessmen that such help should be freely given by Americans in memory of the 6,000,000 Jews who died in Europe during the last war.

Nolan Inquirer Medical Editor Chemists, through the use of radioactive techniques, are now, for the first time, able to trace all parts of a cancer-forming chemical through body processes, Dr. John H. Weisburger, of the National Cancer Institute, Beth-esda, told the 117th National meeting of the American Chemical Society yesterday at the closing session at the Bellevue-Strat-ford. The achievement, Dr. Weisburger said, "may make possible identification of the specific part of the compound which causes cancer." CANCER'S HOW AND WHY Dr.

Weisburger said that many chemical compounds which are foreign to the body are known to incite cancer in both animals and human beings. These compounds are called carcinogens (any cancerproducing substance or agent). "It was of considerable importance to find out why certain body compounds caused tumors, because this could provide more definite ideas about how and why cancer develops," Dr. Weisburger said in his report to several thousand chemists attending the session. He said that in order to gain insight into this problem, it was necessary to get some Information on the fate of the compound after its administration to experimental animals.

RADIOACTIVE CARBON "It seemed that the use of modern radioactive tracer techniques might offer a solution to the problem, and so it was decided to label important points of the cancer-forming body compound with radioactive carbon so that all the compound could be traced through an animal and thus be accounted for," Dr. Weisburger said. "In contrast to previous techniques, which accounted for less than a third of the cancer-inducing material and its products, the new method traced and recovered the full amount of the substance." GEIGER COUNTER USED The experiments were carried out by administering the carcinogens to healthy young rats by stomach tube. The test animal was then kept in a "metabolism cage" so that secretions, and even respired air, could be tested for radioactivity by use of the delicate Geiger counter. After the tests were completed, the rats were anesthetized and killed by withdrawing blood from the heart.

All important organs and tissues were dissected and analyzed for radioactivity. "In this manner the studies apparently gave an accurate picture of the distribution of the cancer-forming element or its breakdown products in rats," Dr. Weisburger said, adding that the full significance of these discoveries is yet to be investigated. ATOM DEFENSE GAINS Three chemists from the Southern Bio-Research Laboratory at Florida Southern College, Lakeland, yesterday reported preliminary experiments which may have great practical significance in developing a defense against atomic radiation. They are Dr.

James B. Redd, Boris Sokoloff and Raymond Dutcher. The experiments concerned the value of vitamin compound, ex tracted from citrus fruit waste, which they believe is valuable in preventing internal hemorrhages caused by radiation such as that which occurred at Hiroshima ana Nagasaki, where scientists learned numerous internal meeaings too place, ending in sudden death. The chemists learned irom experi ments in animals that the occurs mostly in the capillaries, the smallest blood vessels in the body. Use of the vitamin and vitamin greatly reduced the number of deaths after ordinarily lethal doses of radiation.

Court Dismisses Appeal by Lifer Federal Judge William H. Kirk-patrick yesterday dismissed an appeal by a life-term prisoner at Eastern State Penitentiary for a new trial on the grounds that he was "psychologically tortured" by State police to obtain a confession. Judge Kirkpatrick stated in an opinion that there was no evidence in the case of Harry Mayo, convicted of slaying; Robert W. Probst, Lock Haven policeman, to show that the confession was other than voluntary. The jurist also pointed out that no appeal had been taken to either the State Superior or Supreme Courts, a necessary legal step.

He disinherited Mrs. Martocello on the grounds that she had deserted him. During hearings of her claim to part of the estate, witnesses testified they heard Mrs. Martocello urge her husband to make a home for his wife and son. Attorneys for the younger Martocello opposed the claim.

They questioned the legality of the marriage of the elder Martocellos, but Judge Bolger dismissed this issue.

Sheronas referred to the fact that this was a partial return and said he expected complete figures to exceed the 1949 donations of this group, which he praised for doing "a top-flight job for the Red Cross. Pointing out that the sum brought the 1950 campaign that much closer to its goal, Sheronas said returns still reaching headquarters at 1422 Walnut st.

Willits, special deputy attorney general, warned that many Canadian stock salesmen were trying to mulct Pennsylvania veterans of their bonus money through the sale of worthless stock. Cunningham was arrested last week after he allegedly offered Leonard Elfreth, assistant manager of the Benjamin Franklin Hotel, a parcel of stock at 5 cents a share in settlement of his $300 hotel bill. Howard K. Mohr, an investigator for the Pennsylvania Securities Commission, testified that Cunningham had no current license to sell securities here.

In reply, Cunningham protested that he had not known it was a criminal offense to sell stock without a license. The suspect said he had offered the stock to Elfreth as a means of gaining time until friends could arrange to pay his hotel bill. It also was testified that Cunningham had tried to sell stock to George Adsit, an official of the Girard Life Insurance after first writing to him, then calling on him in his office last November. W.

Student Gets Scholarship A West Philadelphia High School student, Russell Warren Young-blood, of 1116 S. Wilton has been awarded one of four alumni scholarships to the University of Delaware, it was announced yesterday. The scholarship has a value of $400 for one year and is potentially renewable for succeeding years. Other scholarship winners were Thomas M. Hocker, of Lewes, DeL; John G.

Pedersen, of Delmar, and Stanley Czerwinski, of warned yesterday. If the contracts are not let within 60 days after the bids are opened, the bidders have the privilege of withdrawing their bids, Buckley said, pointing out that the bids were opened March 15. Meanwhile, Councilmen were reported to be preparing to resort to a Councilmanic loan of between and $5,000,000, which is needed, plus $4,000,000 already on hand, to pay for the building. This was deemed necessary because insufficient time remains to prepare an electoral loan in time to present it to the voters at the May 16 primary. Buckley said the danger of withdrawal of bids lay chiefly among the large contractors such as John Mc-Shain which submitted the low bid of $4,926,000 for the general construction work in connection with the new building.

In the ruling, Judge Robert V. Bolger held that Mrs. Martocello was the legal widow of Joseph A. Martocello, former ice-making machinery manufacturer, and was "entitled to her rights as such." DIED AT CITY HALL The husband died unexpectedly at City Hall on Oct. 19.

He had gone to a courtroom there in the mistaken belief that he had to appear in an action involving the release of his son, Joseph from Farview State Hospital. The younger Martocello was released from the institution a short time after his father's death. He had been sent there in a court ruling that culminated a family dispute in which the bookkeeper of the father's firm was abducted. MOST LEFT TO SON In his will, the elder Martocello left most of the estate to the son. -N J.
