The district attorney of McKean County said this week that George Miketish, a parolee from a life prison sentence who is accused of abducting a Busti woman, faces another life prison sentence. Miketish, who served over 20 years of a life sentence for the murder of his wife and assault on her parents in Gifford, Pa., was captured in Cooks Forest by FBI and State Police after a manhunt last February that spread over New York and Pennsylvania. On February 2, Miketish allegedly went to the home of Mrs. Mildred Kyle, beating her with the butt of a shotgun, shot her grandson, Edward, 12, and abducted her daughter, Mrs. Yvonne Bancroft. After his capture, he was declared a parole violator and returned to Western Penitentiary near Pittsburgh. District Attorney James Angell of McKean County said that if Miketish is convicted of parole violation, he can face a maximum sentence of life im prisonment. A Chautauqua County grand jury has returned three indictments against Miketish. The indictments are for first and second degree assault and second degree kidnaping in connection with the Busti incident. Avoids us Crash, Get Broken Jaw UNION CITY — As a result of a freak accident while on the job for Cross Construction Company, David Malec, 21, R.D. 5, Waterford, acquired a fractured right jaw. But it could have been much worse. Malec was operating a steam roller at a construction site on Station road, about five miles from Wesleyville. The steam roller suddenly went out of control on a large hill. Malee had no brakes and could only steer the roller. ‘The roller, which is ‘only supposed to operate at 10 miles per hour, sped down the hill toward a group of workers at 60 miles per hour. Malee steered the roller away from the men, negotiated the piece of equipment to the foot of the hill, then lost control completely and was thrown from the vehicle. ‘Malee did an excellent job in missing the men. We could have had six or eight men killed,” Alton Cross, of the Cross Construction Company, said. Malec has been employed by Cross for three years. Swedish King’s Guards Balk STOCKHOLM (AP) — The King of Sweden is having labor troubles. The labor union of castle guards says noncommissioned officers do not want to guard the king any more and that the job should be done by private com panies. “Many of our members feel silly and ridiculous when parading in the Royal Guard only to satisfy the tourists,” a spokesman for the union said. ‘The commander of the Royal Guard, Col. Nils Carlberg, said the guard should be kept because it has “an important task. thouse, authorities stationed 20 motorcycle officers, four helicopters, and 36 mounted police.

Montgomery County Judge Vincent Cirillo enjoined labor demonstrations at the site of a new Sheraton Hotel under construction by the Alternose Construc tion Co. after equipment was damaged and random fires broke out around the incomplete hotel. At one point there were brief clashes and 155 union men were arrested for disturbing the peace, but all were released after paying light fines. Some observers predicted more than 30,000 building tradesmen and other unionists would join today’s march, making it one of the biggest labor protests in Pennsylvania history. Municipal police forces mustered every man available to handle traffic, leaving the march itself to the state police. The FBI said agents would be on land as “official observers.
