Factory workers and "public or- ganizations" nominated the peo- ple assigned to them by the par- ty. Initial publicity focused or party boss Leonid I. Brezhnev nominated at a woolen mill, and other leaders. After a lot more publicity, 99 per cent of the Soviet voters will approve on June 12 the choices in 1,517 parliamentary constitu- encies. Soviet elections do not offer voters any choice of candidates or of programs. They have a dif- ferent purpose than letting the people decide the country's future Once elected, members of the Supreme Soviet Parliament will ratify without significant change the laws which are presented to them. Voting is always unanimous The laws are based on Com- munist party decisions. And those decisions come from Brezhnev's small group of party leaders, whose policy declarations to a recent party congress were approved un- questioningly. The purpose of the elections is to obtain publicity for party pro- grams. Instead of decisions being transmitted up from the voters party decisions are transmitted down to them by the Soviet elec- tion process. Brezhnev told the congress that' party units "must completely eliminate their petty guardianship{ of government bodies and the practice of overriding them, which gives rise to irresponsibility and inertness on the part of officials.' Calls for More News He also called for the parlia- mentary leadership, of which he is a member, to tell the Supreme So- viet more about what is going on. "The work of deputies must be- Supreme Soviet and automatically ratified at the next sitting. Brezhnev's reform proposals did not include having contested elec- tions. The Soviet ballot says a voter should strike out all but one name. In fact, only rarely is more than one' name on the ballot.' Write-ins invalidate a vote. There has been some talk of putting the names not of one but of several candidates on a ballot. But Brezhnev did not mention this and nothing has been heard of it 'U'F Sees Pric McCra Contin Expan Prof. Pat business a predicted th continue to more than t McCracke tinued ecor a 7.5 perc number of g ing 1966. xpert More e Rises cken Predicts ued Economic sion, GNP Gain ul W.

That advisory body, reporting to former President Eisenhower, set as a national target the doubl- ing of faculty salaries before 1970. Southern Salaries Up The Southern states have been important beneficiaries of the in- creased salaries, the report said, and thus the gap between the South and the rest of the nation has narrowed. Notably, of the five schools said to have increased salaries by the greatest percentage in the current year, three are in the South-The University of Ken- tucky, Tuskegee Institute in Ala- bama, and Pan American College in Texas. The other two were Par-, sons College (Fairfield, Iowa) and Wheelock College (Boston, Mass.) The average salary for a full pro- fessor at a university in the South was reported to_ be $13,000, compared with $15,602 for the rest of the country. In church-related liberal arts colleges, the full pro- fessor's average salary was $10,554. "Over the past two years the acceleration in compensations for all ranks has been quite steady and quite remarkable," the report said. Prof. William Baumol of Prince- ton, chairman of the committee, said that this year's increases had been most substantial at the top ranks. In fact, he said, this is a pattern seen in past reports-the higher the rank, the more rapid. the percentage increase in pay.

While the nationwide average salary for full professors is $13,- 500 and for instructors, $6,740, one church-related liberal arts col- lege reported that it pays full pro- fessors only $6,300 and instructors only $4,300. The report noted that, for its purposes, all academic salaries are figured on a nine-month basis. This means that actual salaries tend to be considerably higher with the addition of either summer In terms of average compensa- tion, including fringe benefits, of all full-time faculty members, Harvard University led the asso- ciation's list. Harvard was the only university listed in the "$17,500 and above" category. The University of Chicago and Parsons College were in the next category of $16,000 to $16,499.

Several construction worker lo- cals struck their contractor-em- ployers Monday to enforce new- contract proposals. George Bowman, a member of the negotiating committee of the Flint Area Contractors Association, said Tuesday he has talked with an :!.d of W.
