ATKINSON SAID he did not see how it could be quicker since both proposals would require a vote by Congress. Atkinson agreed with a reporter's remarks that black community relations were at a low ebb in Nashville.

Blacks wish to be involved in the building of Nashville and the influx of businesses into their section but they have been neglected in the past, he said. Atkinson said he would work to break the black barrier in Nashville. Asked if he could work with a black vice-mayor, Atkinson said he could work with Robert Lillard, a candidate in the vice-mayor's race. department head explaining, his department's program and problems.

A newspaper poll release yesterday showed Atkinson substantially behind in the mayor's race. Atkinson said he felt the same as when a similar poll was published two weeks ago. THE POLL just released was already a week and a half old, and candidates Clifford Allen and aCsey Jenkins had probably lost votes since then anyway, he said.

5 Metro election. The endorsement was made yesterday by the Committee on Political Education (COPE) for the AFL-CIO. "MR. LILLARD'S record in support of labor-sponsored legislation in the Metropolitan Council has been 100 and no other candidate has a better record than that," COPE said. Lillard has served in the Metro Council and in the former Nashville City Council for 20 years.

Only one other member of the council, Z. Alexander Looby, has served as long. Lillard is seeking the office of vice mayor rather than reelection to the council. The vice mayor presides over sessions of the council and votes only in the event of a tie. "My remaining ambition," Lillard told labor, "is to serve the people of Metropolitan Nashville as vice mayor.

I feel I am qualified from the standpoint of training and experience. I know that I possess the dedication." Sheriffs Unit Salaries Hiked Criminal Court Judge Raymond H. Leathers granted yesterday a petition requesting a 10 pay increase for 93 sheriff's department employes to become effective Aug. 1.

HE REQUESTED the increase for administrative positions, process servers, court officers, Metro Jail and Workhouse employes. The salaries cover a broad range from $414 per month for a Metro jail supervisory field man to $910 per month for the chief deputy. The exact pay increase for the employes will be determined by Aug. 1 by Sheriff Frazier on the basis of experience, years of service and the sheriff's favor.

Heflin Remains To Be Cremated HOLLYWOOD (UPI) Van Heflin, one of Hollywood's most respected character actors, died yesterday at the age of 60 and, in accordance with his his remains will be cremated and scattered over the Pacific Ocean he loved. Heflin, a husky outdoors-man, was found in the swimming pool at his apartment house after suffering a heart attack June 6. He swam 20 laps a day, rain or shine. He lapsed into unconsciousness and never regained use of his faculties.

HE DIED at 8:43 a.m. CDT at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital. He also left instructions that no public or private funeral be held. Heflin was born Dec. 13, 1910, at Walters, and moved to California with his family when a year old.

As a young man Heflin sailed out of nearby Long Beach as a seaman on freighters and thought seriously-about becoming a ship's master. HE GOT sidetracked into acting when one of his voyages took him to New York and a friend suggested, as a gag, he try out for a part in a play, "Mr. Money Penny." He got the role and set aside his seafaring dreams. He also starred with Katherine Hepburn in "Philadelphia Story." He eventually found his way to Hollywood, playing varied roles. One of his more sensitive portrayals was as the father of the young boy in the movie, "Shane," which also starred the late Alan Ladd.

Heflin won an Oscar as best supporting actor in 1942 in "Johnny Eager" for his portrayal of a hard-drinking newspaperman. His last major movie was "Airport" in which he play-. ed a crazed bomber on a plane. Ross Hunter, "Airport" producer, his voice choked with emotion, said: "I've, never known a kinder, simpler, more understand-' ing man. People didn't realize this his talent overshadowed it all.

On Airport he did so much to hold the company together. Those of us who knew him, knew there was never a more beautiful man on earth." Student Collects Hair SARNIA, Ont. (AP) Barbara Thompson, a medical student at the University of Western Ontario in London, is collecting old hair for use in her research on mercury contamination. Pollution Arrest Warrants Issued Warrants for the arrest of Larry Howard of Lebanon, accused of violating Metro's antipollution ordinances, were sworn out yesterday by the Metro Health Department. Paul Bontrager, director of the air pollution control section of the Health Department, swore out the warrants against Howard for allegedly allowing four giant piles of underbrush to be burned on a 10-acre tract of land at Trinity Lane and 1-65 last Wednesday.

HOWARD SAID he works for Tri-State Paving and his mother has linked him with the R. L. Eatherly Construction though Eatherly denies any connection with the incident. Wednesday, Greg Tucker, president of People United for Restoration of the Environment Inc. (PURE), said his group is urging legal action against the person responsible for the burning.

He said if Eatherly is found responsible, he should be held in contempt of court, since Chancellor Frank F. Drowota had issued a stay order preventing the Metro Health Board from allowing Eatherly to burn the debris openly. Bontrager said yesterday that if Howard is held responsible for the two-day burning he could be fined $50 for each day.
