2 Bluefield Daily Telegraph, Tuesday, Dec. 15, 1970 Public Anger Brings British Power On For Surprise Move Cheers Nation LONDON CAP) Britain's power workers, assailed by mounting public anger against a week-long dimout, called off their go-slow strike Monday in time to light up the trees for Christmas. The surprise backdown gladdened the nation despite continued power cuts that darkened British homes and businesses from Scotland to Land's End. A state of emergency, declared Saturday, remained in effect. Advertising signs, neon lights and illuminated store displays were banned.

Parts of including the traffic circle of Piccadilly Circus, were blacked out to almost wartime conditions. Frank Chappie, 50-year-old chief negotiator for the four major power unions, called the move "an act of good faith with the nation" and clearly hoped to win public support for union demands for a 25 per cent pay bike. Robert Carr, Britain's employment minister, told the House of Commons he was naming a court of inquiry to recommend a peace formula. Britain's electricity supplies remained in jeopardy. Neither government nor unions is bound by the court's findings and there was not even agreement on the ground rules for the court.

The government, digging in on its anti-inflation line, put in a proviso that the court must consider effects of a raise on the national economy. The unions contend this impairs the impartiality of the court. Union anger bubbled just below the official surface. Union spokesmen heatedly talked of "government interference in this dispute in pursuit of a reactionary and repressive economic policy." "We condemn all statements of government ministers concerning official action in view of members' loyalty, productivity and cooperation in the past," a union spokesman said.

Aid To Cambodians N.Y. Times News Service WASHINGTON The Senate Foreign Relations committee approved Monday the administration's $253 million military aid program for Cambodia but with a restriction prohibiting the President from introducing American troops or advisers into Cambodia. The committee also stipulated that the planned military and defense support aid should not be interpreted as a commitment by the United States to defend the Cambodian government. These legislative restrictions on the executive branch were incorporated by the committee to a House passed bill authorizing $535 million in supplementary military and economic aid for several nations in Asia and the Middle East. The most controversial item In the administration's emergency aid package is a request for $85 million in military aid and $70 million in economic aid for Cambodia plus restoration of $100 million in military a i funds already transferred to the Cambodian government.

The committee amendment, adopted by a unanimous voice vote, was offered by Sen. John Sherman Cooper, and Sen. Jacob K. Javits, R-N. Sen.

George D. Aiken of Vermont, the ranking Republican on the committee, Sen. Clifford P. Case, R-N. and Sen.

Mike Mansfield, the Senate majority leader. In its essential features, the amendment corresponds to the Cooper Church Cambodian amendment that was resisted by the admiistration when the Senate attached it last summer to a foreign military sales bill. Because of administration opposition to the amendment, the military sales bill has since become deadlocked in a Senate- House conference committee. 1 Gunshots Maim Five Of Family ROANOKE (AP)-Five members of a Roanoke family were shot late Monday as the aftermath of a family argument, police said, and a warrant charging malicious wounding was issued against a man who fled thfl scene.

William Lamb, one of the NTSB investigators conducting the hearings, said in opening remarks that on-the-scene probes following the worst air disaster in American sports history 1 showed no apparent problems with the structural, mechanical or operational aspects of the aircraft.

He said the DC9 had been routinely cleared localized approach and the vice cockpit recorder showed the crew discussing "time and altitude along with procedures for a missed approach." Lamb said the voices of the crew were calm "until just before the crash," but he said the final 33.9 seconds on that recorder would not be available for public scrutiny because it was "still being studied." A Piedmont Airlines pilot who saw the Southern jet approaching Nov. 14 as he took off said "If you can't get down on the end of the runway it's tough to land" at Tri-State. Capt. Jack Minor, who reportedly has landed on the short, mile-long runway about 1,000 times, said he has experienced about 10 missed approaches at Trl-State, most of which were caused by ground fog that blocks visibility. $23,000 Crash Climaxes Rash Of City Accidents Bluefield Dally Telegraph PRESS ed to the us.

A Panamanian in his senior year at Marshall University, Frank Allen Joyner, 21, died Sunday of injuries received Thursday when the motorcycle ne was riding collided with a car on a Huntington street, police said. Vincent Joseph Jarrell 15, of South Charleston, died Sunday of injuries received when he was struck by a car Thursday, police said. Southern concurred with Leist's recommendation.

Wilkinson did not comment on the proposal during the public meeting. Afterwards, he said he had discussed the proposal with both Leist and Southern and he and Anello intended to keep the health council as the operator of the landfill once it is established. Compton, who has opposed the landfill because of the role the health council has in it, did not comment on the city managers' proposal. Following the meeting Dr. Hale commended Anello and Wilkinson for the action they took.

He said attacks on two court members at the meeting were "unreasonable (a d) vindictive." He said the two members "showed great courage, foresight and dedication to their job" in taking the action they have in regard to the landfill controversy. In other court action the resignation of Edwin A. Honeycutt as constable in Beaver Pond District was accepted by the court and Robert "Bo" Baugh- rnan was appointed to succceed him. A public hearing will be held Jan. 11 at the courthouse to determine whether a public service district should be establish- ed'Jforw'some -90 residents or more along the Princeton- Beckley Road just outside of PKnceton.

The court officially approved the employment of Evelyn C. Bailey as telephone switchboard operator at the courthouse, and Charles Ford as an assistant dog warden. Also approved were the appointments of Leist and Southern to the court's landfill advisory commission. The court confirmed earlier reports that it decided, apparently unofficially, to paint the courthouse at an estimated expense of $7,000 with funds previously alloted for dredging and cleaning Brush Creek in the vicinity of Princeton. 1 Legion Plans Meet American Legion Post No.
