"Get me out of here," he cried as police emergency squads battered frantically at walls of the shaft between the first and second floors.

"I think my aims and legs are broken, they're all numb," wailed the wedged youh just as the emergency workers finally broke through to free him some three hours after they began their Burke Campaign Committee Fails To File Account COLUMBUS, LP) Secretary of State Ted Brown notified C. William O'Neill Friday that former U. S. Sen. Thomas Burke's campaign committee and seven unsuccessful congressional candidates failed to file expense statements for the Nov.

4 election campaign. Statute requires candidates and their committees to file campaign expense statements within 10 days after election. But Brown said the law lacks teeth for enforcement. Burke, who lost to Republican George Bender in the Senate race, filed a personal campaign expense statement with Brown early this month. Brown said Joseph Sullivan, Burke's campaign chairman, asked Brown last November for a 30-day extension for a report by the Citizens for Burke Campaign Committee.

The secretary said he had yet to receive that report. Bender and his campaign committee filed the required reports. Unsuccessful candidates for Congress who failed to file expense statements were listed by Brown as: Edward Kaley of Warren, Democrat, 11 district; John Ferguson of Cleveland, Republican, 20th district; Chat Patterson of efforts. The youth, who identified himself as James Anderson, wedged behind pipes in the tiny airshaft 18 inches by five feet about 9 o'clock last night. He said a companion bent on burglarizing the office and storage "building at 121-123 E.

24th St. had forced him at gunpoint to jump thru a skylight atop the building, which they had reached by way of tire escapes. But instead of landing on a floor undei.neath the skylight, he said, he hurtled downward in black space. Near the bottom he stuck between some pipes and the airshaft wall.

PALAC At 6:409:40 ej gjf A Ml I II UWLESSHE5S ETCHED IN CUNSMOKE! chmicolorI JOCELYN BRANDO -RICHARD BOONE A CCHUMllA PtCtUM i mm mmm Reds' Nuclear Ran Demand LONDON (A') The West coun tered Soviet demands for a nuclear weapons ban today with a i overall disarmament proposal call ing on Russia and Red China to reduce their armies. i The offer was made known to newsmen as delegates of the U.S., Britain, France, Ca iada and Russia made rrsdy to resume secret disarmament talks that ended in stalemate here last June. U. S.

Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge was scheduled to meet in London's Lancashire House with Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, British Minister of State Anthony Nutting, France's Jules Moch, and Norman Robertson Canadian high commissioner. The five powers are conferring as the U. N. Disarmament Commission subcommittee. American officials said the U.S.

stood behind the, British-French plan for the eventual scrapping of all atomic and hydrogen weapons, but that it tied this in with step-by-step reductions in military manpower as well as conventional weapons. The S. contribution to the program is a blueprint for an international control system with the powers to enforce disarmament measures on both sides of the Iron Curtain. The Russians have bitterly opposed opening their arsenals to outside inspection. The Western Powers were pictured as agreed that this was tl i only formula which tvould allow them to meet' the Kremlin's Feb.

18 call for abolition of nuclear weapon stocks. "For us to throw away our atomic punch without firm agree ment on reduction of other arma ments," one Western official said "would expose Europe and Asia to being overwhelmed by the huge Communist armies." The West's disarmament program stems largely from proposals made last year which the Russians rejected. Informants said Lodge is pessimistic about prospects of the Russians accepting any agreement based on the Western formula. But Lodge was said to be ready to talk over any compromise that would bring about disarmament without endangering the West. Gromyko is expected to press Soviet demands for a world disarmament conference this year.

House Approves Compromise Bill On Pay Increase WASHINGTON VP) The House today approved without aeoaie a compromise bill boosting the pay of members of Congress to $23,750 a year.

The measure also carries pay raises of $7,500 to $10,000 for fed- eral judges. GUARDSMAN JAILED I Pvt.

The policy in detail is as follows: all hogs must be in the yards or called in by telephone before 1:00 p.m. each market day. Any hogs arriving after this time, which were not called in, may be left at the yards to be sold on the following day.
