No explanation was given on the disciplining of the workers. The plant has 1275 employes, about 1000 of whom are Railway Carmen union members.

Union leaders said the walkout was not authorized. They urged the men to return to work. The plant manufactures railroad freight cars and related About 225 employes of the American Car and Foundry Division of ACF Industries at 2800 DeKalb Street remained off their jobs this morning, apparently in protest over disciplining of three workers yesterday. All are members of Local 365, Brotherhood of Railway Carmen. About 300 persons did not return to their jobs after the lunch break yesterday, but 75 of this number returned to work today.

The company said is going on." McNary said, "I don't believe we're in any danger of a police take-over or of becoming a Facist state. I don't think the people.are going to turn into a neighbor-spying nation. We have a duty to help correct situations which are wrong." The legality of the drug watch program was questioned by meeting was at the Knights of Columbus building, 4331 Lindell Boulevard. Under the program, possible violations of drug abuse control laws observed by the women would be reported to police. Some persons have questioned the legality of such reports.

Ryan said: "This is no vigilante group. It is just a valid form of letting us know what University senior who attended the meeting. He said, "There is no excuse for a vigilante group to run the West End." The drug watch program would be concentrated primarily in the West End. It would be an extension of the women's block watchers program in which possible violations of criminal laws are reported to police.

Warren E. Hearnes signed today an emergency measure for $14,800,000 to keep state programs going until the end of the fiscal year June 30. It includes a $50-a-month pay increase, effective immediately, for lower -paid merit system employes at state hospitals. They had threatened to strike when the bill was delayed in the Legislature. The measure will keep major welfare programs operating at present levels through April, May and June.

The Governor, who has power of item veto, made no changes in the bill. Included is $125,000 for a study to determine the feasibility of a new airport in Missouri for the metropolitan St. Louis area. The Federal Aviation Administration has given Missouri six months to present its case before the FFA decides whether the airport should be located in Missouri or Illinois. An Illinois site has been tentatively selected.

Senator Robert' A. Young St. Ann, sent the Governor a letter today urging that the item be vetoed as unnecessary. He said his Aviation and Airports Committee was expected to approve in the next few days a bill to give St. Louis the power of eminent domain to enlarge Lambert-St.

Louis Field. "This would, of course, Young wrote, "completely solve the entire problem and situation concerning adequate airport facilities for the St. Louis metropolitan area in the most logical, practical and economic manner." Vetoing the $125,000 item, he said, would free the money for more urgent matters. The Governor, however, left the airport study item intact. Paul Williams, the Governor's legal assistant, said that if Young's bill would solve the problem, the $125,000 allotment to the Division of Commerce and Industrial Development could be withheld.

Williams noted, however, that any bill still in committee was already in serious trouble because the calendars of both houses were loaded with bills ready for debate and any bill approved by committee would have to go to the end of the list. In St. Louis, David E. Leigh, acting director of airports for the city and chairman of the Municipal Airport Commission, said' that the city already had the power of eminent domain to condemn property for airport purposes. So far as enlargement of Lambert-St.

Louis Field is concerned, he said, it would not be possible to use the field as the area's major commercial airport for more than 10 years. Negro Student Head COLUMBIA, S.C., March 25 (AP) Harry Walker, elected president of the University of South Carolina student body yesterday, is the first Negro to win such a post at a predominantly white college in the state.

Goheen Resigns as Princeton bead Goheen Quitting As President Of Princeton PRINCETON, N.J., March 25 (AP) Robert F. Goheen announced today that he was resigning as president of Princeton University.

Goheen, 51 years old, president since 1957, did not specifically say why he was stepping down. The resignation is effective not later than June of next year, he said. "I have expressed my conviction that in times like these, when the pace of change is marked, the term of a university president should normally run 10 to 15 years." Goheen, sixteenth president of the university, succeeded Harold W. Dodds in 1957. During Goheen's team as president, many changes have been brought about at Princeton, including the admission of women students two years ago.

Upholds Trying Youth As Adult In Killing The St. Louis Court of Appeals affirmed yesterday that Hank Charles Carter, 17 years old, should be tried as an adult in the killing of a youth here in 1969. Attorneys had filed an appeal of a ruling by Juvenile Court that Carter be certified for trial as an adult in the killing of John Maness, 18 years old, and the wounding of his brother, Samuel, on Jan. 28, 1969, in the 1C0 block of South Boyle Avenue. Carter had been free on $10,000 bond on the charge.

This was increased to $50,000 when Carter and his father, Billy Joe, were arrested last Feb. 3 jn connection with the killing of one man and wounding of two others in a tavern at 4227 Race Course Avenue. An additional $65,000 bond was set for Hank Carter in the Race Course Avenue shooting, in which Lee J. Anderson, 47, was killed. The youth has been held in City Jail in lieu of the total of $115,000 bonds set for him.

ly a full day after hearing two defense attorneys plead for the lives of women defendants they said were mentally sick and should be spared. Bugliosi, who told jurors he found it unpleasant to ask for death, repeated details of the killings of Miss Tate and six others, reread testimony from transcripts and said death in the gas chamber could not equal in horror the way the vic tims had been butchered. Jurors, who convicted the de fendants of murder-conspiracy on Jan. 25, are considering two penalties life in prison or death in the gas chamber. Bugliosi's rebuttal opened the way for all four defense attor neys to reply.

"These defendants were all in It together. They all deserve the death penalty." Bugliosi had said earlier he did not plan to present a rebuttal.
