Fuel Oil Man Accused Selling Military Secrets ' hy NEW YORK (AP) -- Robert Glenn Thompson, accused of selling military secrets to the Soviet Union, is a man of strange contrasts to his Long Island neighbors. All were surprised when the 29 - year - old former U.S. Air Force clerk who runs a service station and an independent fuel oil business, was accused of be- ing involved in espionage. The government Thursday in- dicted Thompson on three counts of spying for the Soviet 7 Union that carry the death pen- ~ alty and listed three Russians as co - conspirators. One of them, Boris Karpovich, a coun- sellor in the Soviet embassy in Washington,. was ordered ex- pelled from the country. Thompson pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on charges that he furnished military data, to Soviet agents from 1957-1963) and received payments totalling $1,700.

Birchists Whipped CHICAGO (AP) -- Two: Chi- }cago - area ministerial associa- tions have entered into open conflict with the John Birch Society, charging that the so- ciety's plans to expand opera- jtions in the area would have ja "divisive influence" and "un- jnecessarily create tension." The associations, apparently acting independently, this week issued sharply critical attacks on the conservative society. {They are the Homewood-Floos- jmoor Ministerial Association, which | represents nine south suburban areas, and the Blan- brook Ministerial Association in the exclusive north shore sub- urb of Glenview.

The 510 Peel street man died en route to Oshawa General Hospital. Coroner Dr. J. A. Pat- terson said cause of death was a fractured skull. Mr. Robitaille, an employee of the Whitby Public Utilities Com- mission, was in the process of hooking up the pole, on Brock street south, when the accident occurred. The pole, police investigation showed, was little more than a shell, as the centre had rotted out. Mr. Robitaille was at the top of the pole when it snapped at ground level. Since he was wearing a safety belt that was also around the pole, he had no opportunity to leap clear. He landed under the pole, which carried a heavy transformer. He was not pinned . when ambulance and fellow workers arrived. There were a large number of PUC men on the project, man- ager Harry Simpson said. Sgt. Gerald Robinson of the Whitby Police said last night that the deceased was using a block and tackle to haul up the heavy wires that had been cut down in the morning. He said the added weight put extra strain on the pole. When he investigated, about one hour after the accident, Sgt. Robinson said he found that only one guide rope had been used to steady the pole. Referring to the condition of the pole, Mr. Simpson said it was about 18 to 20 years old, but had been out of the ground for preservative treatment recently. M. O. Shepherd, an inspector with the Department of Labor, joinéd local police in an investi- gation today.
