SMITH, LEFT, AND ROBERT ELLIS Sixteen pints 0 blood saved their liven By HERB PAUL Mlni.rapnlU Star Milt Htllff The Farmers Elevator association of Minnesota has endorsed the proposed constitutional amendment No. 5 calling for diversion of some motor vehicle tax funds from the trunk high- ways to cities, villages and coun-1 ties for road use. The action was taken at the concluding session of the association's 45th convention at Nicollet hotel.

Amendment No. 5, hich ill be on the state ballot In Nov em ber, would give 10 per cent of from he mo(or ve. hlele tax to cities and villages, 25 per cent to counties and 65 per cent to the state highway department. At present the state highway department gets all of this revenue, a total of about 25 million dollars a year. The association believes the amendment should be adopted in the interest of a better "farm to market road system in Minnesota." Other resolutions adopted at the convention: SUPPORTED the stand taken by association delegates to a hearing of the depart ment of agriculture opposing the proposal of linseed crushing interests to reduce the permissible moisture content of No.

The resolution pointed out warehousemen now are re- quired to continue to store grain of a crop year until such grain is ordered shipped by CCC. Because of lack of terminal space, CCC has not been able to ship all grain of one crop year before the next crop has to be received for storage, thus causing warehousemen to com mingle crops of different years.

In letters to H.

Swealt, Honeywell president, and Robert I. Wishart, business agent of local 1115, CIO International Union of Electrical Workers, Hoyer asked that company and union representatives meet with him Mundayat 10 a.m. The letters asked that four top representatives of each side be sent. Hoyer's letters said a strike at Honeywell, with some 10,000 em ployes and an over-all payroll of more than three million dollar a month, "would have a tremendous impact on the city as a hole." He asked that representatives meet with him in an effort to "arrive at some common ground" for averting a strike. Wishart, head of the union representing some 7,000 production workers In Honeywell plants In Minneapolis, earlier had dis closed that negotiators would recommend that the workers walk out.

The decision was made Wednesday afternoon after a meeting with Carl Carlgrcn, federal conciliator, broke up without a date being set for another meeting. Wishart said the 100 member shop committee will meet Sunday morning and negotiators will make their reconimenilii-lions for a walkout. The committee is authorized by the membership to set a strike date. tinder the 30-day "cooling off" period prescribed hy thn Taft-Hartley law, Ihe union would not be free to strike legally until March 15. Negotiators and company representatives agreed Wednesday to extend the expired contract to that date.

Wishart said the company had made additional concessions on wage demands but there were still 12 Issues on which nettle. ment had not been reached. The union said the company offer on a pension plan was not satisfactory and there had been no offer on severance pay plan demanded by many women members of the union who do not expect to be employed king enough to benefit from a pension plan. Other issues include liberalized vacations and a union shop. "One of the big problems is that the company refuses to send to the negotiation meetings anyone with more rank than a superintendent," Wishart said.

"He hasn't the authority to make binding decisions and we don't think the company means business." Union negotiators said they had lint walked out of the meeting, hut had left when Carlgrcn adjourned the session. They said they were not refusing to attend further sessions, if they are called. Carlgrcn said he would keep in contact, with negotiators for the company and the union. Falls Rsnq. Temp.

Eau Claire Cloudy Warmer Cloudy 4-year lerm Favored for Aldermen The city council charier com mittee favors revision of the charter to provide that aldermen be elected for staggered terms of four years instead of all getting two-year terms as provided for beginning in 1953. Terms of all 2fi aldermen expire as of the first Monday in July next year, and the 1953 municipal elections will find a scramble for only 13 aldermanlc seats, one from each of the 13 wards, instead of two from each.

The council charier group asked the cily legal department to prepare a formal request to the (barter commission asking that it consider an amendment which would double the alder-manic term to four years. The idea of staggered fprms is still to be worked out. because of the uneven number of aldermen to be elected. One thought discussed by the committee was that if the four-year, term is to be adopted the seven aldermen from llie odd-numbered wards would be elected at one time and the remaining six two years later. Report of the committee goes to the council March 11.
