I r-ge r III .. tish miners reject SUITS FILED Psychologist witch'fired last ditch Heath plea LONDON (Reuter) - Britain's coalminers refused to call off their impending strike yesterday despite warnings that it could inflame the coming election and possibly harm their own support- ers in the opposition Labor Party. The decision reinforced expec- tations that campaigning up to the Feb. 28 polling date will rate among the most savage exper- ienced in British electoral his- tory. THE COAL stoppage is certain to darken Britain's economic crisis still further. The executive committee of the miner's union took four hours of discussion to throw out Thurs- day's appeal by Prime Minister Edward Heath to suspend the na- tionwide strike due to start at midnight today. Heath set the election date- which falls some 17 months be- fore his term officially expires- after a long unsuccessful struggle to persuade the miners to accept the wage raise limits contained in his anti-inflation code. IN PRELIMINARY campaign skirmishes, it seemed clear the ruling conservatives planned to pitch their campaign on the is- sue of "Who Rules Britain?" Labor party leader Harold Wil- son clearly sought to head off this line of attack in a foreward that was published yesterday along with the party's campaign manifesto. "This election is not about the miners," Wilson said. He accused Heath of calling the election in a panic because his government was overwhelmed by inflation. WILSON SOUGHT to swing at- tention on to inflation and other issues including the European Common Market which, until eclipsed by the issue in Britain, rated as a hot political issue in Britain. A series of opinion polls has indicated popular dissatisfac- tion with the results of Brit- ain's 13-month-old membership in the European community. Wilson pledged: "We shall re- store to the British people the right to decide the final issue of British membership in the Com- mon Market." This was a reiter- ation of the Labor pledge to re- negotiate the terms of British market membership. Wilson promised to settle the coalmine dispute by negotiation and to control prices. Labor has persistently complained that the. conservatives concentrated on keeping down wages but let pric- es soar. In most political circles t h e miners' decision to push ahead with their strike rated as an ad- vantage for the conservatives. In- dustrial unrest is commonly sup- posed to react unfavorably against labor's electoral chances. HUTCHITNSON, Kan.

Shortly after the first newspaper story appeared in November, the head of the state penal system de- manded his resignation.

'RADICALS' CHARACTERIZED Prof. s By JONATHAN FRERICHS What phenomenon in contem- porary society can account for George Wallace's popularity, the Pontiac anti-busing campaign, President Nixon's landslide victory over McGovern in 1972, the April 1973 meat boycott, and the recent widespread truckers' protests? According to Donald Warren, a University research sociologist, citizens he calls "Middle Ameri- can Radicals" have been a ma- jor cause of all these events. WARREN BEGAN his research in the area during 1971 on a grant from the Ford Foundation to study the Wallace movement and its im- plications. This led to a national survey -directed at specific issues, such as anti-busing controversies and the meat boycott. Warren says the boycott pro- vides a good example of what he and his fellow researchershasso- ciate with the Middle American ideology - "a national action in- volving a problem directly affect- ing many families and one which had not previously occurred nor been carried out within the pur- view of a union, protest group or other 'established' structure." This group, which Warren says emerges during periods of "appro- priate stress" such as the late '60s, consists largely of people in the lower white collar and middle and upper blue collar levels. However, the group is more accurately, characterized by a common ideol- ogy, Warren says. "THEY HAVE a lot of trust in the system, but it's being thwarted by interest groups and their own interest group does nbt have much to say." According to Warren, such dissatisfaction is directed at socie- tal groups above and below them, the rich and the poor, who appear; to enjoy special government treat- ment. Warren says he uses the term 'radical sin the traditional sense -- because the group shares fun- damental principles of action. In the past, "Middle Ameri- cans," who comprise about one quarter of the population, were amply represented by the church and the unions. Now the church. seems to be courting other groups and the union leadership is out of touch, Warren claims. tudies Middle America CUcA 1ptirh'4A 'erice4 HE EMPHASIZES that "Middle American Radicals see formal or- ganizations not holding to clear cut rules and not being responsive to their own concerns." A popular stereotype of Middle Americans identifies them with Ar- chie Bunker. But Warren is quick to note that Archie's rancorous buf- foonery disqualifies him from be- coming a folk hero to this group. Warren's research suggests that Middle American Radicals are not more prejudiced than other groups, but rather are mare open in ex- pressing their prejudice. NEITHER the Republicans nor the Democrats can claim the votes of this substantial minority of the voting public. Nixon received their support in 1972, Warren reasons, because Wallace had been remov- ed from the race. McGovern, with his following of the poor, affluent liberals, college students, blacks, chicanos and anti-war dissidents, was the epitome of what they re- sented on the American political scene. In the future, Warren specu- lates, Ronald Reagan might re-' ceive Middle American Radical support but is possibly not "grass rootsy" enough. Ted Kennedy riv- aled Wallace in 1971-72, according to Warren's data. During city elections Middle Americans have cast their ballots for the "spokesmen of the New Populism," such as Charles Sten-; vig in Minneapolis, Louise Day Hicks in Boston, and Newark's An-1 thony Imperiale - candidates pulled from their own ranks. WARREN'S DATA shows that a, major expectation the group has of government is that it must de- liver at the local level and on the issues that affect their lives. I Hence, a Middle American is will- ing to delegate more power to those in authority if that's what it takes ,for governmental institutions to increase services, for police to decrease crime or for welfare ag-I encies to alleviate poverty. E As with the present truckers' road blocks, Middle American Radicals generally undertake "ins- dividualized, informal, temporary, action." They are not likely to form an organization like the AMA,' Warren explains. Placing the group on the politi- cal spectrum is difficult since one cannot follow the traditional logic of the left or the right. Liberals and conservatives are often distrusted equally, Warren claims. MIDDLE American Radicals would reject socialism on the ba- sis of a strong attachment to in- dividualism, Warren asserts, for many in this group have moved in and out of entrepreneurship. How- ever they accept positive govern- mental action through social pro- grams such as social security. Although they evidence dimen- sions, of paranoia and authoritar- ianism, Warren suggests, it would bearings. They see problems of human nature, rather than struc- tural problems. THUS, WATERGATE only con- firms Middle American distrust of those in power, Warren explains. It does not mean to them that the Presidency and Congress should be reconstituted. And they would be happier with resignation than impeachment, Warren thinks, since the latter appears an arrogant leg- islative exercise. Also, Warren sees trouble for the U. S. in one of the factors which the data showed character- izes the origins of Middle Ameri- can Radicals, namely, their lack UNIVERSITY LUTHERAN1 CHAPEL (Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod)! 1511 Washtenaw Ave. Alfred T.
