Schrader Automotive Products laid off 74 employees yesterday, while another 150 workers will lose their jobs by Christmas, following a company decision to discontinue production of an inner tube valve. The layoffs, described as permanent, will trim the company's work force of 470 persons by nearly half, said Bill Edwards, Schrader manufacturing manager. "THE MAJOR problem causing that layoff is the decision to discontiue the manufacturing of tube-type valves valves that fit on inner tubes for tires," Edwards said.

But John Davidson, president of the union local, said, "We did not agree to a thing. We went back because we were told to go back." Davidson said he received a telegram from international union President A.L McLemore ordering an end to the strike. "HE SAID they thought it was best for all concerned," Davidson said.

"There's something behind it, but we don't know yet what it was. Somebody got to somebody. "The membership don't like it, but there's nothing we can do," he said. "We're forced to take the 6. There's no more negotiations." Since the strike began Nov.

Male Dance Bar Might Appeal 'Touch' Ruling By BEECHER BAILEY Tennessean State Correspondent CLARKSVILLE, Tenn.

A restaurant and nightclub owner must decide by Dec. 1 1 whether to appeal a state-imposed penalty for alleged violations during a performance by male exotic dancers, he said yesterday. The state Alcholic Beverage Commission ruled Nov. 10 that Garfield's on Riverside Drive here violated a state law by "permitting" patrons in an establishment that sells liquor by-the-drink to touch dancers as they performed. THE ALLEGED violation occurred May 12 during a for-women-only performance of "The Men of Florida." Garfield's faces a five-day suspension of its liquor license or a $500 fine, according to owner Gus DuPuis.

"If I hadn't called the ABC and told them the dancers were coming to my club, they never would have known about it," DuPuis said. "I called them a few weeks before to find out the 'do's and don't's of a performance like that." "The definition of permitting the contact with the crowd is the point of contention," DuPuis said. The owner said yesterday he is studying the options of either going back to the ABC for an appeal, or taking court action. American General Corp. officials will begin Monday studying bids for the Life and Casualty Tower, Sidney Keeble, executive vice president of AMG's Intereal said yesterday after the bidding deadline.

He declined to identify the apparent high bidder or any of the interested bidders for the tower, located at Fourth Avenue and Church Street. He also refused to specify the number of bids that have been received. However, two of the groups interested in the tower, Nashville's first high-rise office structure and built 26 years ago; are Ja-ques-Miller Inc. and officials of the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System. 29.77 1 4 ilS III.

Colbert said in his letter mailed Wednesday that the illegal practice of rolling back odometers is nothing more than a "cottage industry" in Cleveland. He claimed the CBS report implied odometer tampering was Cleveland's major industry.

"Our total economy does not rise and fall on what happens in the used car business," Colbert's letter said. "The implication that all used car dealers in Cleveland roll back odometers is a false one." Sewage May Close Chattanooga Jail CHATTANOOGA (AP) The 46-year-old Chattanooga City Jail may have to be closed soon unless its leaking sewer lines are replaced, the city has been told. The repair job could cost up to $100,000, officials said. The problem was discovered after inmates reportedly flushed banana skins down jail commodes and stopped up the lines. One cell block was evacuated Thursday because a commode backed up and overflowed onto the floor there, and officials said the same thing could happen "this week or six months from now" in other parts of the jail They said there also could be a problem from methane gas buildup.

Man Found Guilty In Beating Death CHATTANOOGA (AP) A Chattanooga man was found guilty yesterday of first-degree murder in the beating death of a St Elmo woman and sentenced to die in the electric chair. 1 The Hamilton County Criminal Court jury of eight men and four women returned the verdict against Edward J. Harbison, 28, in the Jan. 14 slaying of Edith Russell, 62.

After further deliberations, the jury decided he should die in the electric chair rather than be sentenced to life in prison, the only options allowed under Tennessee law. Harbison was accused of beating Russell to death with a 25-pound marble vase while he and another man were burglarizing her house. Harbison confessed to the crimes in a Feb. 21 statement to police, but testified Thursday that he gave the statement because police threatened to have his girlfriend arrested if he did not. Wells Fargo Rewards In Heist at $350,000 MEMPHIS (UPI) Wells Fargo Armored Services offered rewards yesterday totaling $350,000 for information leading to the arrest of two bandits and the recovery of $6.5 million stolen from the security firm's Memphis office.

"They are offering $100,000 for arrest and conviction of the suspects and $250,000 for the return of. the money," said Capt Clyde Keenan, commander of the Memphis Police Department's violent crimes squad. The investigation of the Thanksgiving Day holdup described as the nation's third largest robbery has stalled over the past few days and police said they hoped the reward money would bring in more clues to work with.
