Mr.. Nhu, who was rumored
to have engaged in a power
struggle with his brother dur
ing the Buddhist crisis, has
often been considered to be
more powerful than Mr.. Diem.
Both, however. denied in their
interviews at the Presidential
Palace that Mr.. Nhu con-
trolled the government.
Mr.. Nhu rejected an idea
that he and his fiery wife, re-
tire from politics. He said he
was planning to run for deputy
in the National Assembly when
general elections are re-
scheduled. They were post
poned indefinitely from August
81.
Mr.. Diem said the assembly
elections would be rescheduled
as soon as the country under
martial law since August 20,
returns to normal. He ex-
pressed an eagerness to end
martial law.
End Of Martial Law Due

martial law will be lifted in a

Cuba b|ames
. u. ). Piracy
In Air Raid

MIAMI. Fla, Sept. 6 (AP).-
Cuba blames the United States
for an air raid which it said
killed a Santa Clara school,
teacher and injured his three
children.
A communique of Fidel Cas-
tro'S armed forces said several
bombs were dropped at 4 am.
yesterday on Santa Clara, cap
ital of the Central Cuba Prov
ince of Las Villas. The COM
munique, heard in Miami via
Havana Radio, said two light
aircraft dropped the bombs.
These planes were escorted by
two high-flying jets which re-
portedly flew away northward.
Warning Issued
I'VE hold the American Gov
eminent responsible and we
warn it that repetition of these
acts may result in serious in
cidentS," said the Cuban armed
forces statement. 1.-THE Cuban
government is not willing to
tolerate the piratical acts
against U.S."
1t has become standard
Castro government practice to
call anti Castro raids "pirati-
cal" and to charge the United
States with letting the raiders
use its territory as a jumpoff
point.
The raiding planes were de-
Scribed as two-engine craft.
The communique said two
similar planes were driven away
from Santa Clara Wednesday
night by anti-aircraft fire from
an air base near the city.
The man killed when a bomb
hit his house was identified as
Fabric Garcia Noriega. The
communique said his injured
children were Francisco. 5;
Sofia. 3. and Abraham, 2.
Inland Santa Clara lies about
40 miles south of Cuba's north
coast and 225 miles south of
Miami. Las Villas Provinces
mountains swarm with anti
Castro guerrilla bands, which
frequently clash with govern
ment troops.

Gas Production
Takes Big Drop
In Last Quarter
County Receives Check For
$5,779.99 For Period
Ending June 30

The production of natural gas
in Garrett county took a big drop
during the previous three months
period ending June 80, according
to a report received yesterday by
the County Commissioners office.
The board received a check for
S5,77999 Three months ago it was
$l1 ,85633. and the period before
that S1219457. Two other periods
had shown S7.S6825 and S14,O8922.
The report this week was the
second for the new year. The first
$4,000 received in a year goes to-
ward liquidation of the school build
ing Indebtedness and up to S25, 900
above that amount goes toward eX-
pCnses of the Garrett County Me
mortal hospital. The four checks
last year did not quite make the
$4,000 total, and there was every
indication that the four checks
this year would be considerably
less. Some years the total had been
more than $4,000. Whether or not
this year would mark the beginning
of a constantly decreasing total,
was not known, but if the trend
would continue the annual levy
would have to be increased to meet
the cost of retiring the school bonds
and meeting expenses at the hos
pital.
The report this week showed
that 322 2745000 cubic feet of gas
had been taken from the wells of
the area compared to 658425,000 the
previous ninety days The report
covers the period April / to June
! 30 and showed an average of some
three and one half million cubic

for marketable gas was S82, ,571 80,

Rabid Fox Killed
In Hutton Section

A large gray fox on highway 7
at the Maryland West Virginia
state line, later termed rabid, was
fclled by a Terra Alta police of
ficer Sunday evening about s
o'clock The diagnosis of rabies
was made at the Livestock SAM
tary service laboratory in Oakland,
according to DR.. F D. Custer, veteri-
marian
DR.. Custer said the appearance
of the large fox on the highway
had caused motorists to stop. When
one motorist, Walter Kisncr, the
Terra Alta police officer, approach
cd the fox attacked him. The of
ficer fcllcd the fox with a heavy
cane before the fox could bite him.
DR. Custer said the laboratory
has diagnosed numerous cases of
rabies in dogs, cats, foxes, skunks,
cattle and horses in nearby Pres
ton and Grant counties, West Vir-
ginia, but this was the first rabies
diagnosed in this county since the
summer of 1859 Actually, he said,
if was difficult to say whether the
fox was on the Maryland side or
the West Virginia side of the state
line.
He said during the summer of
1859 several cases of rabies were
found in dogs, cats, foxes and
calves in the Swanton, Kitzmiller
and Gormania areas
He advised any person noting
animals acting strangely to report
the incident to the local constable
or the Livestock Sanitary service
People were being cautioned not
tc kill an animal suspected of hav-
ing rabies that has bitten per
! son or live stock The animal
should be captured alive if pos
siblc. If capture is not possible the
animal should be killed in such
a way that the brain is not dam
aged.
The person bitten was advised
to contact his physician at once
and to take the animal to the
laboratory in Oakland as soon as
possible. Animals suspected of hav-
ing rabies will be examined free
of charge, the veterinarian said
DR.. Custer said effective rabies
control could be accomplished by
vaccinating pet dogs and cats
eliminating stray dogs and cats, Ii
censing of dogs and control OF

where rabies exists.

The building housing Grand

merly a moving picture theatre
building. was entirely destroyed by
fire of undetermined origin Tues
day evening.
The efforts of four fire COM
panies failed to save the building,
which seemed to explode at one
point, spreading flames over the
entire structure and causing dam
age to some six houses within the
area.
The bowling alleys we're owned
by Paul W. Fisher, as we'll as the
building. which he had purchased
from Harvey Spcichcr. Fisher said
his loss would run in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 to $4,000. The
loss is covered only partially by
insurance.
There were four bowling lanes
in the building, which cost approXi-
mately $500 each
Mr. Fisher said three lanes we're
in use Tuesday night and he had
closed about $40 and had gone
home about 10 o'clock. About one
half hour later William Burgess
noticed smoke and gave the alarm.
The explosion occurred shortly af-
terward, blowing off a door in one
end of the building.

ment, realizing its inability to cope
with the flames, issued call to
Accident, Markleysburg and Oak
