At Steel Plant
A 25-year-old Jeffersonvllle man
was injured when he fell 10 feet
from a platform at Alan Wood Steel
Co., Conshohocken. early Tuesday
morning.
Patrick Heidorn. of 162 Oxford
Circle, was on a platform working
to remove a pump shaft when an
extension corj he was using caught
on a pipe and broke free, causing
Heidorn to tumble backward into
an emergency steam pump pit.
The Injured worker was taken
to Montgomery hospital for
treatment of abrasions of the back
and for x-rays. Heidorn works in
the blast furnace power department.
A wedge driven solidly Into the
strong Republican Organization in
Montgomery "ounty through a com-1
promise effected about six years!
ago, and hammered deeper In the)
general election last November
when Elkins Wetherill of Plymouth
Meeting won a seat on the board
of county commissioners as an In-dependent
candidate, split the par-ty
wide open on Tuesday with the
defeat of Rep. John A. Lafore, Jr.
of the 13th district for a third term'
of two years.
Richard S. Schweiker, 34-ycar-old'
Industrial executive who ran for I
office for the first time, polled
nearly WOO votes more than Con-!
gressman Lafore. The Republics a
nominee, a resident of Haverford,
conceded at 11:30 P.M. Tucr-*-y,
less than two ind a half hours after
the polls closed.
The successful nominee Is the
brother-in-law of William Stras-burg,
publisher of weekly newspa-pers
in Ambler, Willow Grove and
North Philadelphia.
At the same time Wetherill, an
Elsenhower Republican, upset the
organization candidate for County
Comml--ione- the late Bernard E
DUoseph. running Independently,
he dumped the organization cholte
for district attorney.
The unexpected ctory for the
lone independent candidate came
as many traditionally organization
districts helped Schweiker pile up
a total of 37,702 tores to the 32.885
received by Congressman Lafore.
Schwelker's win aUo is signifi-cant
to the Main Line area since
it marks the s .ond tme Lower

After suffering It* third stagger-ing
defeat In live years, the once
Invincible Montgomery County Re-publican
Organization was licking
Its wounds today and trying to fix
responsibility for Its major setback
in the Congressional contest at the
primary on Tuesday.
While Party leaders refrained
from making anyone the "whip-ping
boy" In Richard 8. Schwelk-er's
stunning victory over Congress-man
John A. Lafore Jr., Court
House observers were considering a
combination of defects.
Schweiker beat Lafore, 37310 to
33.0M.
