At Tuesday's business session, which saw the election of new officers and a resolution support­ing legalized bingo, volunteers heard State Sen. Earl W. Brydges, Wilson, term volunteer firemen "one of the few groups in the country that stand alone." He spoke at the hall of Aerie No. 825. Fraternal Order of Eagles.

The senator said the volunteers give freely of their time and praised them for working "with­out seeking any type of govern­ment subsidy."

He urged the perpetuation of "volunteer units" to fill a "grow­ing community need." He com­mended firemen on first aid work. "I am happy to see that volunteer firemen have moved into the field of ambulance service," he said, noting that "it was natural that they do so."

He said he and fellow Albany legislators will give "bedrock sup­port" to all "reasonable" legisla­tion that will benefit the volunteer fire fighting movement.

He said he and Albert J. Foley, Albany, had "fathered" early legis­lation that has removed "obstruc­tions" to the firefighting legisla­tive movement.

Israel Sailor Still Is Held By Nasser

HAIFA, Israel, (fl—The Danish freighter Birgitte Toft pulled into Haifa Harbor tonight with a cargo of Burmese rice after a voyage-through the Suez Canal.

Israel sailor-writer Raphael Ey-lon, whose seizure by Egypt has caused Israel to protest to the U. N. Security Council, was not aboard. .

Israel awaited a reply from U.N. Secretary general Dag Ham-marskjold and the Security Coun­cil to her appeal for action in the Eylon case. The U.N. gave no public indication of what action it might take.

An Israeli spokesman said his government had asked the Inter­national Red Cross to make sure Eylon is given fair treatment whilt

When the Birgitte Toft left its last canal stop, Port Said, Capt. Hans Lolk told newsmen he was "upset and astonished" police had not returned Eylon.

to ex-No damage

LOCKPORT — Western New York volunteer firemen now have two queen* reigning over their 58th annual convention which close* here today.

4

They have been named in a move made Tuesday by officials of the WNY Volunteer Firemen* Assn. to rectify a "misinterpreta­tion of judging" which Monday night saw Mis* Joyce Gillette, a 16-year-old brunette from South Byron edge out four other con­testant* to gain the title and $100 in prize money. Both io Receive $100

Named Tuesday, to correct the situation, wa* Miss Marilyn Wood, 21, of Cambria, the Niagara Coun­ty entry, who also will receive $100. Mis* Gillette represents Genesee County. Both girls are reported to be happy with the solution.

The judging mixup came when the girls were presented small number card*, unseen by the. judges and which did not coincide with their numerical arrangement on stage. The stage lineup was used by the judges in identifying the girls.

Miss Wood, a former New York City model, was the obvious favorite of some 500 spectators. She is the daughter of Mr. and

Mrs. Leonard Wood, L o w e r Mountain Rd., Cambria. She won out in county finals and represent­ed the Pckin Volunteer Fire Co. Fourth Priw Added

Not only did the rectifying move see another queen named, but all contestants now have been award­ed monetary prizes. The last to receive a cash prize is Miss Mary Louise Stcffen. Kendall, repre­senting Orleans County, who failed to place in the judging Monday.

Second place and $50 went to Mis* Virginia Whitney, 17, of Dan*ville. Livingston County, and third place and $25 went to Miss Kathleen Arnholt, 14, of Elma, representing Erie County.

The move* came after an after­noon executive session of the ex­ecutive committee. Lourn House, president of the Pekin Volunteer j Co.. and a delegation of members had met earlier with the commit­tee asking some "rectification." Prepared Statement Issued

In a prepared statement, asso­ciation officials said, "In recti­fying a misinterpretation of judging in the selection of the queen . . . the committee . . . reached a conclusion that Marilyn J. Wood . . . wa* entitled to the same consideration as . . . Miss Joyce f Gillette . » . she will be pre

scntcd with the same monetary prize . . . and . . .share in other convention proceedings.

"In addition, the . . . com­mittee will award a fourth place prize of $25 to Mary Louise Stcffen . . . All five contestants will participate in further . . . proceedings.

"After a thorough study of the circumstances . . . the commit­tee feel* that Miss Gillette was inadvertently named queen through a succession of error.* for which no one could be blamed. We arc sincerely pleased to have both Miss Gillette and Miss Wood honor us by being queens."

The statement was signed by Harland Ruggles, Holley, newly elected president; C h a r l e s E.

Not Identified BALTIMORE —. Francis Scott

Key was not identified as the author of the Star Spangled Ban­ner until several months after the anthem first appeared.

Powers. Batavia, past president; and James Surridge, Rochester, newly named vice president "Queen" Breaks Down

Miss Gillette broke down brief­ly when informed of the news that she had been mistakenly elected. Both girls were attending a fashion show at the Elks Club for wives o% convention delegates.

Later, she said, "I don't know what to do. If there was a mis­take, it should be righted."

Marilyn said, "I don't want to take it away from Joyce. It's just so heartbreaking when you know you won it and you can't have it."

It was then Marilyn suggested that perhaps the honor could be shared between the two.
