Anti - busing picketters, all members of the National Action Group (NAG), temporarily suspended their street V demonstrations yesterday. On Tuesday, the group's "show of clout" picket lines brought the 42,000-worker Fisher Body Plant to a grinding halt for the day, when workers refused to cross the lines.

More than 40 persons were killed at the New York state prison Monday when over 1,000 state troopers stormed the jail under a barrage of teargas and shotgun fire, to quell a four-day takeover by inmates. At Great Meadows, N.Y., where about 75 Attica rioters were transferred, there was a four-hour outbreak of bottle- throwing and fire-setting yesterday in the so-called "radi- cal" wing of the prison.

An emphasis will be the cen- ter's function as a school within a community environment, she said. The center, replacing the Chil- dren's Community day care pro- gram, which formerly used the same site, will accept children age two and up. The opening date of the new school has not yet been set. How- ever, Heyn said it will run at least through next May and will be open from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm five days a week. "Women need a child care cen- ter that is inexpensive and good," she explained. "Children need to be with peo- ple their own age in a supportive environment," she continued. Organizers of the school-day care center plan to charge a max- imum of $20 a month on a sliding scale for clients who can afford to pay. Organizers of the center noted that other day care centers in the community are already over- crowded and that none of the existing facilities stress educa- tion to the extent planned by the new Children's Community. "The school will be run in a democratic manner, to use the old See DAY, Page 10 children have enrolled in the pro- jected schools, 13 accredited area s teachers have volunteered their services, and that upwards to $1.5 million has been donated to the schools, pending their incorpora- tion.

They were turned back to their cells. In the county jail at Atlanta, Ga., inmates threw food, broke fixtures and lights, and plugged and tore up plumbing. Sheriff Leroy Stynchcombe quoted one inmate as saying the prisoners were going to take control of the jail and that "Attica ain't seen nothing yet." The sheriff said he had rejected a list of prisoner demands which he called "silly." Among them were requests for hair spray and cologne, which Stynchcombe said they could use to "get drunk." Meanwhile, Gov. Nelson Rocke- feller said he still stands behind the decision which sent state troopers into Attica prison Mon- day. "I do not see how I could have done any differently," Rockefeller told a news conference in New York yesterday. Rockefeller added that he ac- cepted "full responsibility" for the Monday death toll - now set by the state Corrections Depart- ment at nine hostages and 32 con- victs. In a related development, mem- bers of the congressional Black Caucus yesterday asked Congress and the Justice Department to investigate the Attica riot. See PRISON, Page 10 abortion law From Wire Service Reports A petition drive aimed at col- lecting 250,000 signatures needed to put the issue of abortion law liberalization on the state ballot in November, 1972, was formally launched today. Speakers for the Michigan Co- ordinating Committee for Abor- tion Law Reform, which is spear- heading the petition d r i v e to change Michigan's 125-year old abortion law, said they were tak- ing their proposal to the voting booth because "we have no choice but to take our bill to the people." Abortion reform advocates have worked for four years to change the state abortion law. Each year a bill has been introduced, and e a c h year the Legislature has failed to respond. Recently, abortion supporters have drawn up a simple 52-word petition which would change the law to allow abortions for any reason during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. It differs from the legislative bill in the length of pregnancy permissible for a legal abortion. The Senate-passed version sets a 90-day limit, while the petition calls for a 20-week (140-day) deadline. r cPt wi$h d rq w.q I An fp If the school district is 3,000 Ā± VV X ,5 lVk" V pupils short on Oct. 1, it would 1 lose $615,000 in state aid.

Faculty union issue subject of conference LOCAL RESTAURANTS WAIT Liquor licenses flow slowly At present about 215,000 U.S. troops are in Vietnam with the figure set to drop to 184,000 by Dec. 1 under a schedule the Presi- dent announced last April. At the current withdrawal rate of 15,000 a month a zero figure would be reached in early 1973. Government officials expect the POW question, which has been in a sort of limbo in recent weeks, to re-emerge as a public issue. They point to the increasing political activity as the presidential elec- tion year approaches, and to a series of meetings starting later this month involving organizations of families of the 1,600 U.S. serv- icemen listed as missing or cap- tured.
