Subscribe To THE MICHIGAN DAILY Phone 764-0558 NEW YORK ()) - The New York school system, with 1.1 million pupils, lies crippled by the third teachers' strike since Sept. 9. The police, who want more money than a new contract pro- vides, began a work slowdown and the firemen have followed suit. If the police are successful in their bid for still bigger salaries, the garbage collectors will try, too, and may strike. So,indthe nation's biggest city, where an atmosphere of public crisis has become almost norm- al, things are almost normal. Mayor John V. Lindsay was ushered into office on Jan. 1, 1966, by the first bus and sub- way strike in city history. New York has been plagued ever since by a seemingly end- less series of work stoppages in public and private sectors, some serious, some merely annoying. There have been longshore- men strikes, tugboat strikes, taxicab strikes, theater strikes, and moving van strikes. From time to time employe slowdowns have hit the Long Island Rail- road, which transports 900,000 commuters to and from the city each working day. For a while in January, 1967, the city couldn't even bury its dead, when 1,700 gravediggers and other employes struck for three weeks at 39 cemeteries in 0- the metropolitan area. The subway trains and buses normally carry 4.5 million pas- sengers daily. The strike which greeted Lindsay left them with- out regular transportation for 12 days in winter weather. The final settlement came Iwith a wages and benefits pack- age whose cost to the city Lind- say estimated at $52 million over a two-year period. The teachers struck for 14 school days last year over wages. This strike also was illegal un- der state law. A court fined the union $150,000 and jailed it s ONLY DATING COUPLES can do it!

As school opening neared this year, the union complained over the discharge of 19 member teachers by a community school board entrusted with the oper- ation of eight schools in a, de- centralization experiment. The Brownsville-Ocean Hill community school board claim- ed that the teachers it f i r e d lacked rapport with the stu- dents, most of them black. The union so far has called three stoppages and the central - board of education has suspend- 'd the experimental community board. The board, ignoring the suspension, still is running its schools. The threat of slowdowns or work stoppages by policemen, firemen and sanitation workers came on~ly hours after the city thought it had satisfied all three in contracts negotiated 1 a s t sunday. Officers of the police union, the Patrolmen's Benevolent As- sociation, accepted the con- tract but union delegates turned it down.. John Cassese, president'of the P.B.A., said the delegates ob- jected to the city policy of sa- lary parity among regular po- liceman, firemen, city housing development policemen and cor- rection officers. The delegates, Cassese said, ar- gued that city patrolman should receive more than the others because their work It more haz- ardous. John J. DeLury, president of the Uniformed Sanitationmen's Association, declared that if the city reopened the police contract his men would expect similar treatment. Mayor Lindsay .a ."."..

MARCELLA CISHEY WASHINGTON (o)-The Pen- tagon's manpower chief said yesterday his experts are taking another look at methods avail- able for attracting volunteers for the armed forces. "We want to minimize the number of draftees and maxi- mize the number of volunteers," Alfred B. Fitt said in an inter- view. Fitt, assistant secretary of de- fense for manpower, denied the re-examination is aimed at sub- stituting an all-volunteer mili- tary force for the draft. Fitt said "it is our current judgment that in order to main- the MUSIC SHOP 717 N. University 663-7375 tain the quality and size of the force we need the draft." But, he said, "we want to make sure we are doing every- thing possible" to stimulate vol- untary recruiting. Among the courses of action recommended in past studies are increases in military pay and allowance, better housing, educational opportunities and other benefits. Military pay is probably the biggest obstacle to greater vol- unteer recruitment. It has been estimated it might cost $8 bil- lion or more to raise military pay scales to a level high enough to attract enough volunteers to do away with the need for the draft. Fitt denied his aides are stu- dying the problem with an eye to eliminating the draft. He recalled a 1965 study which had as its objective finding ways to develop an all-volunteer force. This study came to the general conclusion that the draft was essential, in part of stimulating enlistments. the news today by The Assoated Press and College Press Service THE SOVIET UNION LAUNCHED yesterday its first manned spacecraft in 18 months and reported a success- ful rendevous manuever with an unmanned sister ship launched a day earlier. The flight, which came just four days after the splash- down of the 11-day U.S. Apollo 7 mission, brought Cosmonaut Col. Georgy Beregovoy automatically within 600 feet of the unmanned craft, which he then approached under manual control. There was no mention of a linkp and Beregovoy did not say how close he came to the sister ship, prompting specula- tion a planned hookup might have failed. Moscow sources speculated, however, that another space- craft might join the cosmonaut in orbit before the mission ends. Russia has been planning to transfer a cosmonaut from a manned to an unmanned ship after a linkup. HANOI'S PUBLIC CRITICISM of President Johnson's Vietnam position has failed to convince administration sources that North Vietnam will reject his secret peace proposal. Despite yesterday's first Communist attack in -a month at a U.S. firebase north of Saigon, government sources ap- peared optimistic that North Vietnam's private exchanges through diplomatic channels would achieve a breakthrough in the Paris talks. Publicly, Hanoi has denounced Johnson's Thursday news conference, at which he hinted secret negotiations are mak- ing progress, as a ruse "intended to deceive public opinion." NEW YORK POLICE voted yesterday to heed a court order and end their work slowdown. But the city's firemen threatened to escalate their slow- down into a full-scale strike Nov. 13 unless the city meets their wage demands. The policemen, who were ordered by a 'court Friday to cease the slowdown, said "we cannot in good conscience arrest someone tomorrow if it is.said we are violating the law our- selves." State law forbids strikes by pubic employees. The police started their work slowdown last week, in a protest over wages. Up to 10 per cent of the force called in "sick" while others refused to issue any parking or traffic violations. RICHARD CARDINAL CUSHING angrily announced yesterday he will resign as Archbishop of Boston because of criticism he has received for defending Jacqueline Ken- nedy Onassis' marriage. Cushing had said earlier this week "why can't she (the former Mrs. Kennedy) marry whotever she wants to marry" and discounted as "a lot of nonsense" talk that she should be excommunicated from the Catholic church for marrying a divorced man. The cardinal has since received severe public criticism for his stand. ISRAELI AND EGYPTIAN FORCES were reported fighting yesterday in Israeli-held territory in the Sinai desert, and'artillery battles flared over the Suez Canal. Ground fighting was reported by Israeli army sources. Spokesmen for both countries charged the other started the artillery duel, and Cairo Radio claimed Israel destroyed /sev- eral houses with surface to surface guided missiles. Israel re- ported six soldiers killed and seven wounded. The battle coincided with widespread civil disorders in occupied West Jerusalem, in which Israeli troops armed with batons and shields fought demonstrators. The fights followed two weeks after Israeli Foreign Min- ister Abba Eban proposed a nine-point settlement of the Middle East crisis in the United Nations. Part of the, plan called for a non-aggression pact among Israel and the Arab states.
