Family Are Injured North of Lansing Four members of a Hunting ton, family of seven en route to the funeral of their great-grandmother in Ithaca, were injured about 10:40 a. m. Friday in a traffic collision just nonn or Lansing. State police said the wreck was caused when a car driven by Ronald Lee Gates, 20, of 662 Carrier st. made a U-turn across the four-lane pavement on highway US-27 near the Northside drive-in theater.

Injured were the Indiana driver, Lyle O. Cook, 43, with chest, fsce and knee cuts; his wife, Margaret, 42, with knee bruises; their daughter, Patty, 17, with a right elbow dislocation and ankle bruises, and their niece, Ver-gile, 17, with-a vertebra dislocation. All four were treated at St. Lawrence hospital. Troopers said Gates, who works jn a service station, had seen an oil delivery truck pass the station and took off in his car to stop the truck.

After talking with the truck driver, Gates drove back onto the highway into the path of the Cook car, troopers said. Thev ticketed him for making an improper left turn. The Cooks were en route to th funeral of Mrs. Marv Reeh. grandmother of Mr.

Cook. Sewer Job Bids Taken Huge.E. Lansing Project Expected to Cost $2,309,119 East Lansing officials Friday morning opened bids on the largest construction program in the city's history.

S. Regional, Poultry Re search laboratory on the Michigan State university campus.

The fire destroyed the one-story frame area of the laboratory near E. Mt. Hope between Farm In. and Harrison rd. at 6:17 a.

m. Fire Marshal Phil Patriarche blamed a faulty electric motor as the cause. Berley Winton, director of the government lab, estimated dam age at $7,500, but there is no way to put a dollar value on the chickens." 'Our experiments with the Leghorns were nearly completed ana mayue we hu aim icu something. We were making virus tests." i VALUABLE CHICKENS Nelson F. Waters, an assistant to Winton, said, "There were many years of breeding 'behind those chickens.

They were very valuable and it's impossible to assess the amount of work that had gone into them." Firemen said a passerby sounded the alarm when he jaw smoke coming from the attic section of the chicken house. "Thanks to the fast work by firemen," Winton said, "the main building was saved. They got there in a hurry." Patriarche said firemen were at the scene more than an hour, but that they spent most of the time cleaning up the debris and trying to save the chickens. Only a naif dozen Lgnorns survivea. "There was no heater in the area where the fire started," the fire marshal said.

"It must have been a blower motor in the attic section. "We are taking the motor in today to have it checked over but we are sure it was an electrical short circuit that started the fire." ISOLATED BUILDING The burned-out area, approxi mately 24 by 60 feet, was a frame structure attached to the two- story main brick building. Researchers with the U. S. department of agriculture have been conducting experiments in the buildings.

This was the third sizable fire in the area in recent years. The buildings, because of the experimental work, are usually isolated and extreme care is used to prevent contamination of the poultry animals used in the re search. Concluded from Face One involves land in two counties, It must go to the secretary of state instead of the board of supervisors. The rejected petitions affected an area completely within Ingham county. THREE POINTS Sidwell said this could be ac complished if: 1 One resident of the sector whose property abuts Waverly rd.

from the west in Eaton coun ty could be induced to sign a merger petition. 2 Signatures could be obtained from 25 other residents of the sector Windsor township, Eaton county but whose proper ty would not necessarily have to abut Waverly rd. 3 Signatures could be obtained from 1" percent of prop erty owners in the entire district to be annexed. Should such a maneuver be successful and the city of Lansing then include land in two counties all future annexation petitions would automatically go before the secretary ot state instead of the board of supervisors. THIRD POSSIBILITY A third plan would be for the district to recirculate petitions, gathering 35 percent of the names of the property owners in the area to be annexed.

The 35 percent rule is invoked, when a petition involving the same or parts of the same area is submit ted to the board of supervisors more than once in two years. The 35 percent rule need not be followed when filing the pe titions with the secretary of state. When the North area first filed for annexation nearly two years ago, the petitions were rejected after large numbers of signatures were ruled invalid. New petitions were circulated unaer tne jd percent rule, in volving a tedious cross check with tax rolls, to obtain a vote last summer, which residents ap proved. Earlier Sidwell had said the supervisors' Tuesday rejection of the merger proposal on the basis of the map technicality was "com pletely arbitrary and capricious and without basis in law." 'LEGAL QUESTION' The law, he added, stipulates that the man sh3il Mih-H (ivuiiviu aw me time ui circulation but does not consti tute art of the petition.

He expressed confidence that the rejection could be successfully challenged in court but noted this might, be a lengthy proceaure. ivtmaisKi saia mere was a "grave legal question" whether Farhat's decision on the map was correct. Carl Wilcox, chairman of the citizens' committee, agreed the best thing for the group to do would be to sit tight until the move for reconsideration of the petitions succeeds or fails.

Brenda got into the back. Sargent gave her one of his pistols. The car roared out highway US-70 with police in hot pursuit. WRESTLE FOR GUN In the back seat, Mrs. Stephens and Jim Tackett, 54, wrestled Brenda for the pistol.

Tackett said Brenda pulled the trigger twice but the hammer clicked on empty cartridges. In front, Crossgrove grabbed for the ignition key in an effort to shut off the engine, but was beaten back by Sargent who shouted: "Cut it out or I'll kill us all." The careening car skidded crashed into a ditch a mile or so past the city limits and rolled like a barrel. Sargent and his wife wiggled out of the twisted wreckage and staggered into nearby swampy brush. They were tracked down a quarter mile away, up to their shoulders in backwater. They did not resist Their guns were empty.

Sargent was in the Livingston county jail at Howell, Dec. 18, awaiting sentence after pleading guilty to breaking into an duto salesroom at Brighton. Mrs. Sargent, a regular visitor, came in ana neia a pistol on Deputy Sheriff Lloyd Cook and demanded that he free her husband. Cook opened the cell door and the woman handed the gun to Sargent.

He knocked Cook down. The jailer scrambled to his feet and fled and Sargent fired at him, but missed. The couple then fled with John Pace and his wife, Vonnie, ot Koyal Oak, in an auto. The Paces were picked up, then freed after telling police they were tricked into helping Mrs. Sar gent.

They said Brenda, "sweet-talk ing and troubled," had told them Sargent was in a hideout "from some tough guys who were after him." The Paces didn't know he was in jail. They drove around and then met the Sargents, they said, then drove the couple to Lckhart, where thev save them $10 for bus fare to Chicago. runte cleared me faces alter a ne detector test. The Sargents had lived in Highland Park, before his arrest in Michigan on the bur glary charge. Sargent's police record dates back to 1950.

He walked away trom a jacKson prison warehouse in 1956, while serving a 15-year sentence for armed robbery and a five-year term for breaking into a car. He was recaptured six months later and given an addition two to six-year term for escape. He was paroled in 1959. Tennessee authorities Friday told Michigan state police to be on the lookout for Charles E. Metcalf, 35, of the Memphis area, who is wanted for a series of automobile thefts and armed robberies in Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana.

Metcalf, a known associate of Sargent, may have been the man who escaped with an unidentified woman partner in the Memphis hold-up Thursday night that triggered the Sargents' capture, state police said. Metcalf was wanted by state police at the Brighton post for questioning in the same Brighton burglary Sargent was held for before escaping from the Howell jail. State police at East Lansing headquarters said Metcalf, who uses several aliases, is believed to be driving a burgundy 1960 Ford Thunderbird.

Farhat said the issue was a new one in local annexation matters. Other annexation proposals, in cluding the annexation of the North district just east of the Maple Grove district last year, have been approved by the board of supervisors on which the map did not show section numbers or "points of beginning."

9 he led his 2nd paratroop battalion in a blitz revolt that took Vientiane and the rival Laotian army by surprise. Odds against 400 sol diers seizing the government seemed impossible but the coup 'succeeded. Kong Le, all at once the most powerful man in the land, de clared nimseii neuner pro-wesi-ern nor, pro-Communist. He said his aim -was a neutral, peaceful Laos cleansed of corruption. He said he was fed to the teeth with watching his superior officers riding in Mercedes-Benzes and playing tennis while and his men beat the jungles in a hopeless war manipulated by foreign giants who made Laos a deadly plaything.

He had fought the Pathet Lao guerillas as hard as he knew how Kong Le said, but no more. The world must now leave Loas to itself. Corruption-fattened Laotian generals and politicians must get Western authorities are inclined to think Kong Le's revolution was sincere and that he meant well for his country. But ithey say he found himself in a game too big for him and broke Under the strain. In the five months his power field, he became psychiatric material.

Kong Le is a tiny man, five-Jeet-two, 125 pounds. Friends -who knew him as quiet, modest snd hard working found him starting-to strut like an oriental Napoleon. He assigned the tallest Laotian he could find, a soldier about five-feet-eleven, to walk behind him as he passed up and down the business section shaking hands and soaking up acclaim. Never before a speechmaker, lie began stopping his jeep "wherever he' found a crowd and delivering involved lectures. Meanwhile Kong Le's own regime, fronted as premier by a basically pro-western prince named Souvanna Phouma, was floundering as opposition by rival politicians grew.

A new coup built steam and burst last Dec. 16. Kong Le and the prince fled Vientiane in a rain of artillery fire from Gen. Nhoumi Nosovan, the present strongman (who claims to be the west's best friend ever.) The December coup sent Kong Le north straight into the arms of the Kremlin. Communist broadcasts announced he was taking over as head of his former adversaries, the Pathet Lao rebels, and Soviet aircraft have been shuttling war cargo to him ever since.

LUNCHEONS from 90c DINNERS from $1.25 (State Journal1 Photo.) Gives Last Warning About Threat to Close Ingham Jail William H. Nestle, state in spector of jails, issued a warning to county supervisors Friday that he is "not fooling" about his threat to close Ingham county jail.

The state official sent a letter to the county board of supervisors last Tuesday stating he would ask for a closing order on the jail if action was not taken within 60 days to relieve overcrowded conditions there, At the time the letter was read there was a remark from one supervisor that such warnings nad been received before an other jail but nothing happened for 20 years. Nestle said Friday, "if they don do just what I said I will serve a closing order." REQUESTS IGNORED He said he had been trying fori several years to get the Ingham supervisors to take action to cut down overcrowded conditions at the jail and establish better segregation of prisoners. He added that there has never been any response to his re quests. "I am not trying to throw them into a turmoil or work a hardship on the people," Nestle said, "but I have no recourse un less something is done." Nestle said he has repeatedly advised supervisors of the situation hoping something could be worked out to avoid a closing action but "evidently they don't want it that way." He said if the close order be comes necessary, it will be fol lowed by an injunction and hearing in circuit court. The state inspector pointed out that the overcrowding of jails has become a problem all over the state in recent years ana action is needed.

CITES OTHER CLOSINGS And in case anyone the state can't close a jail, Nestle mentioned five in Otsego, Ros common, Gogebic, Houghton and Antrim counties where closing actions have been issued in recent years. Otsego and Roscom mon jails are closed at the pres ent time. He said 32 new jails in 32 counties have been built in Michigan in recent years and most of these were constructed before it became necessary to issue a close order. JMestle added, "We are not doing this (close orders) just for tun.

A good linguist, he learned French, Eng lish and Thai but went into the French army before finishing high, school.

In 1952 he switched to the Laotian army as a captain. His ensuing failure to win promo-tion despite the outstanding rec ord may have been- one of the things that led to his blowup. American military funds paid his way to Manila in 1957 for training in guerilla tactics at the Philippine Scout Ranger school. He got top grades. Like many Laotians, Kong Le has married more than once.

He wed ft general's daughter last year while reportedly still married to a northern country woman and perhaps others. He also shares Laotian beliefs in spirits, furies and magic a trait Americans found hard to reconcile with his grasp of military logic.

Swainson said he has asked the committee to continue its' study, under Oakland Circuit Judge Clark Adams as chairman and Controller Ira Polley as staff director. The executive reorganization act, permitting the governor to initiate government reorganization, was adopted in 1958 and is patterned closely after a fed eral statute. Williams proposed seven changes by executive order in 1959, but the legislature reject ed all of them and then adopted six of the proposed changes by statute. The seventh to merge the alcoholism board with the health board was turned down. Thus the effect and constitu tionality of the reorganization act has never been tested, although reorganization has been accomplished.

Swainson said the seven changes he proposes "represent examples of losical transfer of functions between agencies." Each proposal advances, in some measure, the bringing to gether of related functions, thereby reducing duplication of effort and clarifying lines of authority to both the governor and the legislature, as well as consolidating housekeeping services or a efficiency," Swainson commented.
