THREE DIE IN CHAIR
IN BELLEFONTE, PA.
Slayer of Woman and Girl
arid Two Desperadoes
Are Electrocuted.
th» Associated Press.
BELLEFONTE, Pa, March 28.—
Three young men who met for the
first time in Rockview prison’s death
house died within 11 minutes today,
the first triple execution in Pennsyl
rania in four years.
They were Ralph Hawk. 21-year-old
Franklin County farmer convicted of
the ‘‘torch slaying’’ of his sweetheart's
mother and sister, and two despera
does, Fred Reibaldi, 27, and Albert
Gregg, 32, both of Philadelphia.
The heavy-set, black-haired Hawk
was the first to die. He walked
■teadily to the chair.
He had announced he was “ready
to die” and silently watched the straps
adjusted. The current was turned on
at 12.31 a.m. Three minutes later,
the prison physician announced he
was dead.
Reibaldi and Gregg followed quickly.
Reibaldi swaggered into the room
between two guards, gazed around
the chamber and called out “So long
warden. Good luck to you. That's
all.”
As the mask was fixed he attempted
to speak again and was still mumbling
aa the current was turned on at 12:36.
He was dead three and a half min
ute# later.
Gregg, sobbing spasmodically, glumly
watched the straps fastened. The
•witch swung down at ,12:42 and he
was dead three minutes later.
Hawk confessed he burned to death
Mrs. Hazel Gelwix and her daughter,
Helen. 15, and unsucessfully sought
in 1937 to kill his fiancee. Kathryn
Gelwix, in an attempt to escape mar
riage. Kathryn disclosed at the trial
•he was to become a mother.
Reibaldi, a paroled convict, held up
• motorist at a stoplight in 1937 and
robbed him of $40. As he started to
flee, two policemen ran toward him.
He killed one of the officers, Maurice
Handloff, but the other captured him.
Gregg, paroled convict from Illinois
Penitentiary and former resident of
Milwaukee, killed C. Morgan Knight,
28-year-old Philadelphia bond broker,
in shooting his way out of a Philadel
phia department store after holding up
a cashier on the eighth floor. He was
captured as he dodged into a hotel
across the street.
HULL’S PLAN STUDIED

ment of an international committee to
aid political refugees from troubled
European lands was studied today at a
conference of officials of the foreign
office and home office.
Officials previously said the proposal
was receiving the "most sympathetic
consideration'’ of the British govern
ment.

P. W. A. WILL OPEN
KEY WEST HIGHWAY
175-Mile Overseas Hoad Will Be
Used Tomorrow for First
Time Since 1935.
An overseas highway, linking Key j
West, Fla., with the mainland for the
first time since 1935, will be opened j
tomorrow, the Public Works Admin- ;
istration announced today.
Utilizing railroad bridges, partially
washed away by the 1935 hurricane,
the P. W. A. has constructed a 175
mile highway between Miami and the
southernmost city In the United ■
States.
A P. W. A. loan of $3,600,000 en- !
abled the Overseas Road and Toll
Bridge District to purchase the right ;
of way and reconstruct the 11 bridges
for highway purposes. The road has
been hard surfaced for its full length.
From 1935 until the present trav
elers to Key West were forced to use
ferries across two long stretches be
tween keys.

W. P. A. TERMED FAILURE
IN MEETING EMERGENCY
Community Mobilization Head
Urges National Belief to
Serve All Equally.
Charging failure of the W. P. A. as
an emergency measure, Allen T.
Burns, executive director of the
Community Mobilization for Human
Needs, has recommended to the Sen
ate Committee on Unemployment and
Relief a flexible national program of
relief to serve all on an equal basis.
He declared in a statement sent
to the committee that the majority of
the newly destitute unemployed have
had to go on home relief during the
recession, rather than on W. P. A.
"It is unfair that the large group
on home relief should receive an aver
age of only 122 a month and those on
W. P. A. ISO a month," Mr. Burns
said. “Such a situation need not and
did not exist under F. E. R. A."
Mr. Bums proposed joining of Fed
eral, State and local governments In
a unified system by which there would
be adequate relief for all and special
treatment for none.
