Try Dollar I II WHO GET Season-all Production Curtailed The nationwide strike by truck drivers has caused Season-all Industries, of Indiana to cut its work force to a skeleton crew and temporarily curtail production. The company furloughed some 80 employes at the Indiana plant and 55 workers at the Punxsutawney facility and shut down production at 3:30 p.m. Friday. Approximately 400 persons at the Indiana plant were laid off Thursday.

A company spokesman indicated the plant was closed because of an inability to get materials in and out. "In the interest of safety," he said, "we asked our truck drivers not to go out on the highway Friday." He added that the company is hoping for a settlement of the truckers' strike this weekend and a resumption of production Tuesday. Until then, he stated, "there's not much we can do." A skeleton crew of 30 to 40 persons has been kept on at the Indiana plant for maintenance work. He said the other employes will be notified by radio when to return to work. The company, situated on Route 119 South, manufactures aluminum replacement storm doors, windows and screens.

Nine Alive After Crash PAGO PAGO. American Samoa (API "I just grabbed onto my seat and I said to myself. 'I'll really ride this one recalls one of the survivors of a jetliner crash that killed 92 persons. "If anything, I knew I wasn't going to panic like the rest of them. That wouldn't solve anything." added Dick Smith, 57, a former Olympic diving coach now at Arizona State University.

A special Pan American jet picked up the bodies of the dead Friday and transported them to Honolulu. nia Turnpike near Breezewood in Fulton County. Donald Orms of Akron, Ohio, was treated at the Fulton County medical center and released. Truck traffic across the state was light Friday, with the owner of one route 80 truck stop saying he had seen few trucks, most of them are company owned." Independent owner-operators have been in the forefront of the recent work stopages. Lt.

Earl R. Roberts, spokesman for the 165th guard battalions from Lehighton, said men were attempting to patrol as large an area as possible. They were reported to be centered along route 22, between the AUentown area and Reading. Roberts said the guard was patrolling "problem areas, not the whole state." He said the bridge patrols had relieved state police units, adding, "We're working with them, but we're in command." Roberts added, "The impression we got was that they (state police) were expecting something big to start up on Friday night, maybe the tru-ckers getting together and raising hell. They wanted to get the guard out just in case." The Friday mobilization was the largest callout of the National Guard in the state since tropical storm Agnes in 1972.

Col. John A. Danzelli commander of the 107th in Pittsburgh, said about 400 of his men patrolled potential trouble spots in western Pennsylvania. "We've been in touch with the state and local police and they will direct us to the trouble spots." Danzelli said. "We will patrol the overpasses and main arteries.

My instructions are to cover any area I can adequately cover." Kline said the callup came after his office was besieged By The Associated Press Members of the Pennsylvania National Guard perched on bridges overlooking the state's major highways early Saturday to prevent continued violence in a nationwide slowdown of truck traffic. Truck traffic in the state was eported lighter than normal Friday night and early today. The guardsmen moved into position Friday night after Gov. Shapp gave Lt. Gov.

Ernest Kline authority to deal with the violence that marked truckers' protests during the week. See related story on page one. The 165th Military Police Battalion patroled highways in eastern Pennsylvania, while the 107th Field Artillery Bata-lion monitored roads in the west. Guard commanders were secretive about the locations of their patrols, said to be made up of. about four men apiece, because, "We don't want to let the truckers know where we will and won't be." The guardsmen were pri- marily concerned with incidents of rock throwing which damaged trucks driven by drivers ignoring a call for a nationwide halt to freight traffic to press demands for relief from problems arising from the energy crisis.

State Police arrested Donald L. McFeaters of Franklin and charged the truck driver with throwing rocks at passing trucks in Venango County. He was arrested in Xarkeyville. Another trucker. Richard Nonnemacher of Hurst, was arrested by State Police at Bartonsville in northeastern Pennsylvania.

Police said he had made threats against po- lice at a truck stop. State Police also said a trucker suffered facial cuts when a rock shattered his rig's windshield on the Pennsylva with callers seeking protection for truckers. "There's an element of panic and we have to demonstrate to the public we have to protect people on the highways." In activating the guard, Shapp said. "There has been violence. We are taking every precaution we can to make sure there is no more violence." On Friday, the windows of three trucks were shot out and another- smashed by a concrete block, which injured the driver.

Thursday, a trucker died after he went off' the highway after a large rock smashed through his windshield. Gov. Shapp Friday called for mid-Atlantic governors to meet with federal officials and representatives of the owner-operators in Washington this Sunday to discuss their grievances. "Only if the federal government takes positive action to alleviate the problems' that have developed with fuel allocation and freight rates, can we assure a viable trucking industry and maintain a healthy national economy." Shapp said in his call to the other governors. Many of the truckers who remained on the highways Friday travelled in small packs for protection.

Bill Brown, secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 500 in Philadelphia, said union drivers have sympathy for the independents, "but we're not going to lose work over it." Local 500 hauls food for many of eastern Pennsylvania's food chains. But, the number of independent drivers off the road apparently affected many businesses. Season-all Industries of Indiana, announced it had laid off its entire 400-man work force. "We cant get material in and we're having the same problem shipping products out again," said a spokesman for the window manufacturer. Truck shipments were reported at a virtual standstill at Bethlehem Steel plant at Johnstown.
