Duff Heads Republican Ticket In State Leaders Endorse Luzerne Judge
U S Senator James H Duff headed a Republican slate in Harrisburg with Judge Benjamin R Jones of Luzerne County named for the State Supreme Court. The ticket also includes Rep Charles C Smith for auditor general and Rep Robert F Kent for state treasurer. The endorsement came after a long meeting led by Henry W Lark, GOP chairman of Northumberland County, and was described as harmonious with plans for delegates to the Republican National Convention. Judge Jones's selection surprised some observers but was unanimously endorsed along with the other statewide candidates. The move may affect ongoing primary plans for April 24 and prompted reexamination by other candidates aiming for a 21 year term on the high court.

Grand Jury to Decide Homicide Degree in Abortion Case
New York prosecutors say a grand jury will determine the degree of homicide in the abortion death of Jacqueline Smith, a 20 year old who died Christmas Eve in Thomas G. Daniel’s apartment after an illegal abortion. Daniel, 24, and Leo Pijjuan, 49, are held on homicide charges but no body was found. A New York statute limits abortion death charges to first degree manslaughter, but a body is not always required to prove murder. Dr Ramiro Morales may testify to offset lack of remains.
