Spessard Holland and George Smathers.

THE LABOR secretary's spokesmen said that the question to be discussed at the Tampa meeting was "whether there will be sufficient harvest labor available if the 3,000 offshore workers still in the state are sent home, or whether the shortage of domestic labor is such that the certificates of those 3,000 workers, or any part of them, must be extended."

"The Teamsters will give whatever help we can give you," he added. The controversial labor leader gave the check to King at a funeral home as they prepared to attend the funeral for Mrs. Viol Liuzzo, who was slain in Alabama after taking part in a civil rights march. I ape iitniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiL- Istrommts 1 Loop jn Qhicaqo CHICAGO (UPI) Astronauts Virgil (Gus) Grissom and John Young orbited Chicago's flag-bedecked Loop Tuesday to the rousing acclaim of one million persons. The nation's space twins, taking their second big city salute just a week after they circled the earth three times in their Gemini spaceship, cruised atop a slow-moving black convertible through ring, festive throngs of Midwesterners.

THEY PUT down at City Hall, accepted honorary citizenship in this earthbound city and told Chicago and Illinois government officials that credit for their successful flight should go to the whole space team. "I think the Molly Brown made this country look good around the Illustrated, rg. 3-A planet," drawled Young. "As the sayin' goes, you ain't seen nothin' yet!" Chief of Traffic Terence Daughterly estimated that one million persons greeted the astronauts as they motorcaded from O'Hare International Airport, and rode through showers of ticker tape in La Salle Street to the parade terminus at City Hall. After lunch Grissom and Young were honored guests at a reception to which 2,500 persons most of them specially picked students from Chicago area schools and collegeswere invited.

TUESDAY'S HEARTY Chicago welcome followed by only 24 hours the traditional ticker tape parade up Newr York's Broadway in honor of the space duo. It was Chicago's first chance to applaud the nation's space team, and in contrast to the rain and sleet which greeted the astronauts in New York the day here was bright and sunny, though crisp.

Year's Delay For College Under Attack By ED HENSLEY Sentinel Tallahas Bureau TALLAHASSEE Rep. Ralph Turlington, Gainesville, dropped a bombshell at a hearing here yesterday afternoon when he proposed that the planned East Central Florida University be "phased" to open in the fall of 1969 instead of September 19G8. The proposal, made at a hearing before a House subcommittee on educational appropriations, brought immediate and sharp protests from a Central Florida delegation. Turlington is chairman of the sub-committee. "IT would ease our problem considerably," Rep.

Turlington said, "if opening of the university could be 'phased' for a year later." Dr. J. Broward Culpepper, executive director of the Florida University Board of Regents, was one of those protesting the suggestion. Orange County Atty. James C.

Robinson, Orlando, vehemently objected to any delay in the opening of the college. "WE need it now," Robinson said. "We don't need it in 1969. We need it now," he repeated. "We think this institution will have a tremendous impact on the economy of the entire state of Florida.

The continued growth of our area is based on our ability to provide higher education for the younger people pouring into Central Florida." "We are asking you to keep faith with the people of our area," Robinson continued, pointing out the citizens of Central Florida had already approved a bond issue for the university and provided an 1,100 acre site approximately 11 miles east of Orlando and north of U.S. 50. He pointed out the site was purchased by private donations. (Continued back page this section) Negroes March 111 Mississippi jXclu nrk fftittra Dispatch To The, Sentinel CANTON, Miss. More than 80 Madison County Negroes, marking what they termed a "change of attitude" by white city and county leaders, marched unmolested through the rain here last night to the court house to touch off a ntrated voter-registration drive.

Only about 2 per cent of this county's 10.500 Negroes 21 and over are now -czisterod, according to figures if the United States Commission on Civil Rights. The Rev. James McRee, head of the Madison County movement which spearheaded the drive, termed the march a success "in getting the word to the Negro community that they can come in and register." Today Is Deadline 0)imiv Taxes Today is the deadline for paying county taxes without penalty, Tax Collector Earl Wood reminded yesterday. Mail postmarked with today's date will be accepted as meeting the date, he said.

pace Projects By Sentinel Services CAPE KENNEDY A plumbers union local said last night it will withdraw immediately the pickets that have tied up about $200 million in key spaceport construction here for two days. Richard Frank, attorney for the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union Local 803 of Orlando, said in Tampa, that the decision to remove the pickets from space center entrances was made when Assistant Secretary of Labor Janes Reynolds agreed to meet with union representatives Monday in Washington. ABOUT 3,900 of 4,700 construction workers had refused to cross the picket lines even though the plumbers union local said it had a dispute with only one contractor at the Cape. Pickets at reservation entrances Monday caused the 3,900 union employes to stay away from their jobs. This caused a setback in major space programs and NASA says it has cost the government about $200,000 a day in man-hour losses.

A UNION official told The Sentinel when the government brings non-union companies with labor problems aboard the space center it also imports those problems. The dispute is between Local 803 and Harpers Plumbing Heating of Winter Park. LOCAL 803's grievance is only with Harpers, the union official said, and 803 isn't involved in any contracts at Kennedy Space Center. It is a problem of Harpers paying substandard wages to its non-union employes and being able to underbid union companies on contracts anywhere, the union spokesman said.

Red Base Hit; Not Rem-isal Xrm Jnrk Stmrg Despatch To The Sentinel SAIGON American and South Vietnamese pilots bombed an important air base in North Viet Nam yesterday.

But an American spokesman said the raid had been scheduled before the terrorist bombing outside the U.S. Embassy in Saigon Tuesday morning. The spokesman avoided linking the embassy bombing directly to the Communist government in Hanoi. He said, "In general policy terms, Hanoi has concurred in a policy of terrorism." A SPOKESMAN FOR the Saigon government said, however, that he believed the North Vietnamese had directed the attack. The embassy bombing killed an American woman secretary, a U.S.

Casualty list, Tg. 2A naval petty officer and 11 South Vietnamese. (Other sources placed the number of dead in the bombing at 17 and the total number of injured at more than 150.)
