Therefore I ask that a meeting of the city gov ernment' county government and Fremont Ambulance Service be held in the near future. If you desire for the city to arrange such a meeting I shall do so." Gettman's reply reads as follows: "Early in December, 1964, George Dunlap and Carroll Cox of Fremont Ambulance Service called and informed me that in view of their extremely poor collection record for ambulance services rendered, they would be forced to discontinue such services for Fremont and surrounding area. They asked if Memorial hospital would be interested in assuming this service.

I indicated I did not feel the hospital would be interested. This opinion was later confirmed by the board of Trustees of Memorial hospital. "With regard to the hospital' desire to be of assistance there has been no further contact between the parties involved since the date of the above meeting and your letter of January 28. As indicated, we do not desire to operate an ambulance service, but we have not been approached with regard to any other assistance so actually we are not in a position to determine if we can be of help in solving this problem. With regard to your suggested meeting, may I suggest that instead of the full membership of the groups named you limit attendance of this meeting to respective responsible committees of the bodies involved and their executive heads? It is much easier to discuss, understand and recommend possible solutions to a problem with a group numbering around 15 rather than with 30 and 40." Gettman suggested the representatives be from council, tha hospital, county commissioners and Fremont Ambulance steps are taken to reduce or eliminate the loss.

(AP)-Button up your overcoat and keep those long woolies handy there are going to be six more weeks of winter. That's the prediction of Pennsylvania's two famous furry corecasters who poked their weary heads from their cold holes on opposite ends of the state at daylight today, saw their shadows and, true to tradition, scooted right back in to enjoy the underground warmth until spring beckons. If the two Punxsutawney Phil in the western part of the state and an un-named groundhog in this eastern Pennsylvania community ventured afield, it would have meant spring was soon to come.

Those seeking out the seer at Phil's stomping grounds at Gobblers Knob traditionally dispense with formality, wearing blue jeans and fleece- lined coats to await the annual prediction. At Quarryville, the protocol at the Ancient Order of the Slumbering Lodge of Groundhogs calls for spotters and scouts to sport tall hats and capes or fancy nightshirts over morning dress. There, Robert W. Herr, the new hibernating governor of the ancient order, disclosed that his lodge had written to the U.S. Weather Bureau, suggesting it go on a six-week vacation while their groundhog takes over "running this weather game." There was no official comment from the Weather Bureau.

Taylor on South Viet Nam's political turmoil and anti-Communist war.

Bundy, top White House foreign policy adviser, leaves late today and will return sometime next weekend. A White House announcement late Monday on Bundy's trip followed a high-level meeting held by Johnson, one of the President's first activities in the foreign policy field since he recovered from his illness. The President also held a 45-minute National Security Council meeting on the Vietnamese situation. In sending Bundy to Saigon, Johnson is understood to want a detailed, first-hand report on the prospects for developing political stability in the South Vietnamese government which only last week suffered another in a long series of overturns. Bundy also may discuss with Taylor whether his own ability to carry out U.S.

policy has been impaired by his disputes with Lt. Gen. Nguyen Khanh, South Vietnamese strongman who engineered last week's coup. The White House and State Department have declared Johnson's "full confidence" in Taylor and his intention to keep Taylor in Saigon. The third topic likely to figure in the Bundy-Taylnr talks is the scheduled visit of Soviet Premier Alexei N.
