hit
by strikes
in essential services
By The Associated Press
Walkouts by workers is key
services - among them f i r e
protection, newspapers, hmspiral
care and air travel - hit a num-
ber of American cities yester-
day.
A strike deadline by New York
City firemen was reset for 8:30
a.m. today as contract negotia-
tions continued under court or-
der. But in Milwaukee, Wis., Na-
tional Guardsmen were called up
to deal with what officials said
was an emergency created by a
firemen's work stoppage.
HOPE THAT a strike against
the New York Daily New3 would
come to a, quick end was ex-
pressed after the New York
Times reached tentative agree-
ment with the New York News-
paper Guild. The agreement was
reached hours after the start of
the walkout at the News.
Also in New York, 30,000 non-
medical workers went on strike
at 48 private, nonprofit hospitals
and nursing homes over the gov-
ernment's fahrestovapprove a
7.5 per cent wage increase.
Trans World Airlines flights
were canceled across the coun-
try by a walkout 4f flight attend-
ants that began at 12:01 yester-
day morning.
IN MILWAUKEE, officials es-
timated that about 40 per cent of
the city's firemen failed to show
up for work yesterday, about the
same number as the day before.
Their contract expire.i Saturday,
and the "red flu" epidemic was
seen as a pressure tactic aimed
at city negotiators.
Gov. Patrick Lucey, acttmg at
the request of Mayor Henry Mai-
er, called up about 350 members
of the Guard to take over some
firemen's duties. They manned
the firehouses and officiais said
fire protection was normal. There
were no reports of ser ous fires.
A Circuit Court judge ordered
both sides to negotiate before he
considered issuing a iernoprary
irjunction to l alt the Thbaction
by the 1,000-member umn c
ISSUES INCLUDED pay de-
mands and lentgh of wrk wek.
Fire fighters earned $11,070 af-
ter four years under the old con-
tract, but neither side would
cite specifics in this year - nego-
tiations.
The TWA dispute, involving
some 5,000 members of the Air-
1 ne Stewards' and S ewardesses
Association, n ilted all the air-
I ne's operations. Ticket agents
in New York were i istructc.l to.
t imain open but to booK no re-
s rvatons for flights b,-,)-- Nov.

Issues included hours, wages
and fringe beiefits. The c o n -
tract with Local 550 of the Trans-
p rt Workers Union e'cpired 15
months ago.
PICKETS WERE on hand out-
side the Daily News building 20
minutes after the strike began at
7:00 a.m. yesterday. Printers
then refused to cross the lines.
The News, the nation's largest
circulation daily with 2.1 million,
said in a statement that it in-
tended to continue publication
and continue negotiations with the
guild.
The talks collapsed when the
union, which represented 1,400
editorial and other employes, re-
jected an offer of a $13.95-a-week
increase in a two-year contract.
Job security also was an issue.
ALSO yesterday, members of
the United Auto Workers return-
ed to their jobs at International
Harvester plants aftera 15-day
walkout. The strike had idled
40,500 workers in 11 states.

WASHINGTON - Donald Se-
gretti, the mastermind of the po-
litical dirty tricks program dur-
ing President Nixon's 1972 re-
election campaign, was sentenced
to six months in prison today for
violating federal election laws.
Segretti, who was financed by
Nixon campaign funds, had plead-
N. Vi ets

SAIGON (P) - The North Viet-
namese assault force which seiz-
ed, two government base camps
near the Cambodian border may
have killed or captured most of
the 300 defenders, the Saigon
command said yesterday.
But the semi - official news-
paper Dan Chu said the govern-
ment sent up to 3,000 reinforce-
ments to the battle area, and
they were pounding Communist
troop concentrations and supply
lines with artillery and air
strikes. It said South Vietnamese
planes were encountering large
numbers of ground - to - air mis-
siles.
RADIO SAIGON reported the
reinforcements made contact
with survivors of the two base
camps, who told them at least
100 North Vietnamese soldiers
were killed in Sunday's battle,
k.
ed guilty on Oct. 1 to three feder-
al misdemeanor counts arising
from his activity in last year's
Democratic presidential primary
in Florida.
U. S. District Court Judge Ger-
hard Gesell, who could have sen-
tenced Segretti to three years in
prison, also imposed a three-
year probation.

one of the most savage since the
Jan. 28 cease-fire.
A South Vietnamese transport
plane crashed from unknown
causes while ferrying reinforce-
ments to the battle zone, killing
all 25 soldiers and the four crew-
men aboard, the command said.
It also reported the assassina-
tion of several government ham-
let chiefs and terrorists bombings
in scattered parts of the country.
Lt. Col. Le Trung Hien, Sai-
gon's chief military spokesman,
said, it was feared government
casualties at Bu Bong and Bu
Prang camps would be similar to
those suffered when the Le Minh
base in the central highlands was
overrun Sept. 22. Some 280 sol-
diers and dependents were killed
or captured in that assault.
Segretti pleaded guilty to one
count of conspiracy to distribute
unlawful political material, and
two counts of distributing that
material.
Both the government and Se-
gretti's lawyer had asked post-
ponement of sentencing, but the
judge said he would not do that.
"I really regret I got involved
in illegal activity," Segretti said.
"It's been a real nightmare. I
would like to become a produc-
tive citizen."
EARLIER SEGRETTI'S law-
yer, Victor Sherman, had pro-
posed that Segretti be placed on
probation and required to per-
form some type of public serv-
ice work, similar to that given to
conscientious objectors.
"He's probably been punished
more than anyone else in this
case," Sherman said. "He has
five dollars to his name, debts of
$10,000, is unable to obtain em-
ployment and it has been just
fantastic punishment just to live
with the name Segretti."
Segretti was involved in the so-
called "political dirty tricks"
campaign undertaken against
Democratic presidential contend-
ers in 1972. Most of his activity
was against the campaign of
Maine Sen. Edmund Muskie, then
the Democratic front-runner in
the Florida primary.
ONE OF THE ITEMS Segret-
ti arranged to have distributed
during the Florida primary was
a letter on campaign stationery
of Sen. Edmund Muskie, which
accused two other Democratic
presidential contenders, Sen. Hu-
bert Humphrey of Minnesota
and Henry Jackson of Washing-
ton, of sexual misconduct.
Another item was a card dis-
tributed at a rally for Alabama
Gov. George Wallace that read,
"If you liked Hitler, you'll love
Wallace . . . Vote for Muskie."
Maximum penalty for each of
the three misdemeanor counts is
a, year in prison and a $1,000
fine.
