REPUBLIC CITY Copper talks intensify as pact extension Robert Thomas negotiators on both sides of the bargaining table spent the day "distilling various economic issues," said Alvin. A brief bargaining session was held Friday in Tucson with officials of Annnuix, Alvin said. The unions have settled with Anaconda. Phelps Dodge and Magma have submitted economic offers that they said equal the Anaconda pact in basic wages. "If one major company can afford a certain amount-of money," the others ran, too," Alvin said.

"We have a long mile to go before all of the local issues impossible to expect additional extensions. They would serve no useful purpose unless new evidence (of a pending settlement) shows up." About 17.000 Arizona workers are covered by union contracts with Kcn-necott Copper Phelps Dodge American Smelting and Refining and the Magma Co. The 'old contracts were to have expired July 1, but the unions agreed to a 14-da'y extension. Negotiations on local issues continued Friday with Kennecott in Phoenix, Magma in Tucson and ASARCO in San Francisco, Alvin said. Phelps Dodge it tkl A I- 1 are resolved, but a lot of things can be cured with money." Meanwhile, in Silver City, N.M., District Judge Norman Hodges refused Friday to extend a restraining order prohibiting members of the steelworkers Local 890 from picketing Ken-necott's Chino Mines Division.

The order was handed down last week after the 740 members of the local walked off their jobs and established picket lines despite a contract extension between the company and the international union. Hodges refused to dismiss a civil action brought against Local 890 offi- Rcogniic pnoio ov 5u tew With time running out. the tempo at copper industry negotiations increased Friday, a union spokesman said. Extended contracts with four major copper producers are due to expire at midnight Sunday. Cass Alvin of the AFL-CIO United Steelworkers of America expressed doubt late Friday that the unions will agree to another extension if settlements are not reached by Sunday night.

"It's time to fish or cut bait," Alvin said. "I doubt that the unions will prolong the agony. Ample time has been given to negotiate.

"I'm not a quitter," Marston said, after meeting for nearly an hour with county legal adviser Joseph A.

Maytield. The recorder described his meeting with Maytield as "a session to tie up some loose ends." Among the items discussed, Marston said, were the transfer of responsibility to his successor, Thomas Freestone, and a pending court suit brought against him by Cesar Chavez, head of the United Farm Workers. In that suit, Chavez accuses Marston of unlawfully conspiring with Secretary of State Wesley Bolin, former Attorney General Gary Nelson and other stale officials to block last year's recall election effort against Gov. Williams. The Arizona Supreme Court refused Thursday to consider Marston's appeal that he should be allowed to file for secretary of state without resigning.

The court's decision upheld a law that prohibits state officials from running for another office while in mid-term of an elected office. The high court decision Thursday left Marston with only one day to decide whether to run for secretary of stale or quit politics and enter private industry. Filing deadline was Friday. "I have no source of private income," Marston said. "I will have to live for six months on my savings." He added that he had an offer from an industrial firm for double his $14,000 a year recorder's pay.

The action asks for damages for economic losses incurred by Kennecott, during the first day of the strike. Attorneys for Local 890 argued Friday the temporary restraining order should not have been issued because there was no written agreement between the company and the local after the original contract expired July 1.

They said the agreement between the company and the international wasn't binding on the local. Kennecott contended the International had the authority to extend the contract in any way it saw fit.

He could be called Arizona's first resident ecologist, a word he probably would have spurned had it been coined in his day. Sykes, who died in 1948, was an Englishman who migrated here following a stint as a cowboy on cattle drives along tire Abilene Trail. i. i lie eariy naa Developed a case of wanderlust and a taste for adventure which he coupled with a literary bent and a keen, scientific mind.

These talents enabled him to undertake a number of pioneering scientific expeditions in astronomy, botany, zoology and stream dynamics. Although generally forgotten today, Sykes has left behind a number of informative and delightful accounts of his adventures and studies. His breezy and unassuming autobiography, "A Westerly Trend," illuminates early Flagstaff, the Colorado River from the Grand Canyon to the Gulf of California, Baja California, the awful stretch of desert called the Camino del Diablo and the area around Tucson. He wrote the first complete biological and geological study of the Colorado River delta from the time the unchained river rampaged its way to the sea to its taming by construction of Boulder Dam. Sykes rubbed elbows with and was a respected friend of famous scientific persons who flocked to Arizona to study and to found scientific institutions.

He was an associate of Percival Lowell, founder of Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff; a companion of William H. Hornaday in a trek of discovery In the Pinacate Mountains of northern Sonora; and fellow investigator with Dr. D. T. MacDougal of the Carnegie Institute.

He also knew most of the famous personalities of the Old West, including Tom Keam, the Indian trader, and Buffalo Jones, various desperados of Dodge City and Tombstone and a host of others, great and small. Sykes built invented would be more accurate the first wooden dome to house Lowell's telescopes. It was, in the 1890s and for 50 years after, the largest revolving wooden dome in the world. He also supervised construction of the road to Mt. Wilson Observatory in the San Gabriel Mountains above Los Angeles.

He excited the imaginations of early Flagstaff residents by building a 22-foot wooden boat in 1891, hauling it by train to the tiny community of Needle's, and floating down the Colorado River to the gulf. Fire destroyed the boat along the waterless Sonoran coast and Sykes and a companion almost starved and died of thirst before walking back up the river. But the river fired his enthusiasm and he explored every facet of its myriad moods, from floodtide to low Continued on Page B-2 Teenager dies after shooting; girl is arrested A 15-year-old Phoenix girl was fatally shot in the back Friday and a 14-year-old girl is being held by juvenile authorities in connection with the killing, police said. Julie Ann Barnes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Donald Barnes, 5651 W. Verde Lane, was dead on arrival at Maryvale Samaritan Hospital. Detectives Eloy Ysasi and Dan Barker said Pamela June Beer, daughter of Mrs. Annetta Beer, 6323 W. Encanto, has been turned over to the Maricopa County Juvenile Court.

The detectives gave these details of the shooting: Julie telephoned Pamela Friday and they quarreled about Julie's boyfriend, Ysasi said. Later, Julie went to Pamela's home where they began to quarrel again, the officer said. Ysasi said several friends of both girls were in the house. When the argument became heated Pamela went into another room and called police, Ysasi said. The detective said witnesses told him that while police were responding to the call, Julie pushed Pamela, who went into a bedroom and grabbed a .22 caliber rifle.

She fired the weapon once and the bullet struck the floor near Julie's feet, Ysasi 'said. As Julie was walking out the door she called Pamela a name, Ysasi said. Pamela then shot Julie in the back, Ysasi said. stead of their present age of 12. When their press agent.

The federal government has institutionalized inflation because of political pressure for lower taxes and a low rate of unemployment, an Arizona State University economist said Friday.

Dr. Robert Knox, head of the ASU economics department, said the situation is unlikely to improve in the next few years. "We cannot simultaneously have a very low rate of inflation and a very low rate of unemployment," Knox told a Phoenix Rotary Club meeting at the Hotel Westward Ho. "Serious consideration should be given to increasing taxes," he said, "No serious consideration has been given, simply because politically it would not be appropriate." Another cause of inflation, he said, is the government's bias in favor of rapid economic growth. "I think we have to start thinking of I hp rntryway of hp Dilks' rrsi-cicncc.

Each special interest group eliminated from the budget will complain, he said. "Any group that feels its economic position is deteriorating is obviously going to seek some relief," Knox said.

An example of this, he said, occurred when the federal government bought1 beef for school lunch programs after the beef industry complained that a large supply was driving prices down.

McDonald said his own experience and information received from other prosecutors, police officials and a citizens crime group indicates that Lurie "is the most lenient judge on the Superior Court." Kaplan, a Phoenix lawyer, leveled a different criticism at Superior Court Judge Fred Hyder that of alienating attorneys who plead in his court.
