It had developed a slow leak and was travelling an esti¬ mated ."i.OOO fo 6,000 feet above the Valley. Thev usually travel at 40,000 to 50,000 feet and, for that reason, are seldom seen from the ground. Is Expected to Land The U. S. Weather Bureau of Avoca Airport, which also was busy answering telephones, reported the balloon came in from the Williamsport-Red Rock area and headed toward Bear Creek. It was slowly descending and was expected to come down around Easton or some point in New Jersey dur¬ ing the night. These balloons are known as "radiosonde" balloons. They carry a small radio transmitter and transmit humidity, temperature and pressure signals to the weather station that has launched them. It is one of the instruments u.sed for gathering information in the upper atmosphere to help pre¬ dict weather conditions. Hitchhikers Prove Most Ungrateful PITTSBURGH — flf) _ William Kunsak, 25, picked up two hitchhikers in his automobile yesterday. After riding with him a short while, the men forced Kunsak to drive on a street where they had a car waiting. They beat him and took $20, his fountain pen, wristwatch, sports coat and shoes. Then they lifted the spare tire, wheel and tools from the car trunk and pulled up the floor mats. Police said the thugs would have taken the seat covers but they tore while the men were trying to get them off. Spying Charge Branded False U.

(IP)—Russia last I night rejected an Anglo- iFrench resolution calling for United Nations support for internationalization of the Suez Canal and of the Western- formed Users Association. Soviet Foreign Minister Dmit¬ ri Shepilov told the U. N. Secu¬ rity Council that Russia wel¬ comed six principles of negotia¬ tion agreed on by the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Egypt on Friday. But Shepilov said "we can in no way associate ourselves with the second part" of the Anglo- French resolution Which sooght the council's blessing for the in¬ ternationalization proposal ap¬ proved hv 18 countries at the London conference iasi August and for the Suez Canal Users Association. The resolution was put before the council yesterday. The Russian foreign minister spoke after Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi urged a tense night session of the council not to "dash the hopes of the peoples of fhe world" and prove that President Eisenhow¬ er's "cheering words" Friday night that the "crisis is behind us" were unjustified. Wording Is Protested Fawzi also opposed the Anglo- French resolution except for its reciul of the six agreed princi¬ ples and he registered exception even to the wording of one sUt- ing that the canal should be "in¬ sulated" from national politics.

'Year's Difference The gayety of the occasion contrasted sharply with Mr. Eisenhower's last birthday, which came while he was lying in a hospital bed at Denver, Colo., recovering from iiis heart attack. Soon after he arrived at his office yesterday morning, Mr. Eisenhower was surrounded by members of his staff who joined in a rousing "happy birthday" and presented to him a plastic desk ornament encasing a pic ture of Abraham Lincoln, one of his heroes. Visit From Cousin At 11:45 A.M. Mr. Eisen¬ hower received a birthday visit from his 90-year-old second cousin, Mrs. Annie Matter Cooper of Westwood, N. J., and her daughter, Mrs. Earl S Bowers. A 2 P. M., a parade or¬ ganized by the local "Ike Day' Committee cranked up in the el lipse, a big oval park near the White House.

Shiny Weather Balloon Attracts Valley Attention
A large plastic weather balloon, approximately 15 feet in circumference, attracted considerable interest and prompted j many telephone calls to the Sunday Indejiendent as it passed over Wyoming Valley late yesterday aftemoon.
It had developed a slow leak and was travelling an esti¬ mated ."i.OOO fo 6,000 feet above the Valley. Thev usually travel at 40,000 to 50,000 feet and, for that reason, are seldom seen from the ground. Is Expected to Land
The U. S. Weather Bureau of Avoca Airport, which also was busy answering telephones, reported the balloon came in from the Williamsport-Red Rock area and headed toward Bear Creek. It was slowly descending and was expected to come down around Easton or some point in New Jersey dur¬ ing the night.
These balloons are known as "radiosonde" balloons. They carry a small radio transmitter and transmit humidity, temperature and pressure signals to the weather station that has launched them. It is one of the instruments u.sed for gathering information in the upper atmosphere to help pre¬ dict weather conditions.
Hitchhikers Prove Most Ungrateful
PITTSBURGH — flf) _ William Kunsak, 25, picked up two hitchhikers in his automobile yesterday.
After riding with him a short while, the men forced Kunsak to drive on a street where they had a car waiting. They beat him and took $20, his fountain pen, wristwatch, sports coat and shoes.
Then they lifted the spare tire, wheel and tools from the car trunk and pulled up the floor mats.
Police said the thugs would have taken the seat covers but they tore while the men were trying to get them off.

Anglo-French Resolution I Gets Setback
I UNITED NATIONS, |N, Y. (IP)—Russia last I night rejected an Anglo- iFrench resolution calling for United Nations support for internationalization of the Suez Canal and of the Western- formed Users Association.
Soviet Foreign Minister Dmit¬ ri Shepilov told the U. N. Secu¬ rity Council that Russia wel¬ comed six principles of negotia¬ tion agreed on by the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Egypt on Friday.
But Shepilov said "we can in no way associate ourselves with the second part" of the Anglo- French resolution Which sooght the council's blessing for the in¬ ternationalization proposal ap¬ proved hv 18 countries at the London conference iasi August and for the Suez Canal Users Association. The resolution was put before the council yesterday.
The Russian foreign minister spoke after Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi urged a tense night session of the council not to "dash the hopes of the peoples of fhe world" and prove that President Eisenhow¬ er's "cheering words" Friday night that the "crisis is behind us" were unjustified. Wording Is Protested
Fawzi also opposed the Anglo- French resolution except for its reciul of the six agreed princi¬ ples and he registered exception even to the wording of one sUt- ing that the canal should be "in¬ sulated" from national politics.
"T h e 18-power platform," Shepilov said, "proceeds from
