i rom THE COURIER-JOURNAL, SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1984 3 Education Department will abolish some jobs funded by the U.S. Huddleston," Mulloy get freeze group endorsement ft I Lynn Bynum, the department's associate superintendent for personnel. Bynum said she had no comment and referred questions to McDaniel. The action followed a request by the state Personnel Board that state agencies review their "federally funded time-limited" jobs to see if the jobs were justified, McDaniel said. Before the abolitions, the department had 79 such jobs, McDaniel said.

After department officials "assessed the needs and the actual jobs, those (10) were the positions that they felt needed to be eliminated," she said. "It has nothing to do with the funding expiring," McDaniel said. "It has to do with the job functions. They didn't need the job functions." The "time-limited" category is not covered by the state merit system, and the job holders do not have the usual appeal rights. The department is trying to help the affected people obtain benefits or find other state jobs, McDaniel said.

The Courier-Journal Bureau FRANKFORT, Ky. The jobs of "approximately 10" state Department of Education employees will be abolished June 30, a department spokeswoman said yesterday. All the jobs are in the "federally funded time-limited" category, which means that they were never permanent positions, said Barbara McDaniel. She said the jobs ranged from "the clerical level on up through consultants." But, after consulting the department's personnel officials, McDaniel declined to give any further details about numbers or types of jobs. The personnel officials "said that they were not disclosing that (information) because the notices just went out yesterday and today (Thursday and Friday), and they did not want anything out in case some of the employees had not had a chance to be notified," McDaniel said.

Terry Mewborn, the state coordinator for the committee, 'said about 30,000 people in Kentucky support a nuclear weapons freeze.

The resolution calls on President Reagan and Congress to "take immediate steps to reverse the escalation of nuclear arms by supporting and implementing steps that will result in freezing the production, testing and deployment of nuclear weapons, provided that it is a bilateral and mutually verifiable agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union."

Bill Howard, director of the Henderson port, said Elk River would not be welcome there. "I assure you it'll never land at the riverport," Howard said.

"Henderson would be right in line from the prevailing winds."

They said next week's conference would take up such issues as sexual harassment, how to cope with unemployment and the need for increased maternity-paternity leave for miners. Mrs. Dorsey said sexual harassment is prevalent in every mining job held by women. She said she had even seen mine foremen initiate acts of harassment that were then "picked up on by the male miners." Roberts said coal companies have a long history of condoning harassment of minority groups in their employ.

He said the companies do it in order to keep the work force divided and, therefore, weaker. "They did it when Poles and other non-English speaking groups first entered the mines, and they did it when the blacks entered the mines," he said. Roberts, in the midst of contract negotiations with the coal companies, said this year is especially crucial for the UMW. "This is not only a contract year that will determine how our members live for the next three years, but it also is a presidential election year," he said.

Ideal locations would be level, out of the flood plain, accessible by road, and near electricity and running water, they said.
