a a a a a a No Contract At WISCONSIN RAPIDS Union employes of Consolidated Papers plants are working without a contract and a dispute has arisen over Sunday work at two of the mills Wisconsin River Division in Whiting and Biron Division. Two-year contracts covering an estimated 3,500 union employes in South Wood County and Portage County expired April 30. In a statement today, Consolidated Board Chairman George Mead and President Harold Murtfeldt said the company has held 30 meetings since the first week in April in an effort to arrive at a new agreement with unions covered under a joint labor agreement. Negotiations are continuing under the auspices of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. The Sunday work issue appears to be a major factor in negotiations, although it was "I'm The Kind Of Woman Who Gets What She Wants "Because I'm The Kind Of Woman Who's Smart Enough To Use Stevens Point Daily Journal CLASSIFIED ADS."

Said the company statement: "Since April 30 the unions have refused to work on Sunday unless we agreed to their demands as to how we should man our enamel paper mills when we work on Sunday. As a result we have lost eight Sundays art two of our enamel paper mills May and June." The company added that the firm was "deeply concerned" over the loss of new business and the loss of orders to regular customers. In addition to the May and June Sunday shutdown, the WRD and Biron mills have not operated any Sundays in July, according to Daniel Meyer, director of public relations for Consolidated. The company did not elaborate further and key officials were not available for comment, nor could union officials be reached. Fischer's Protest Fails; Behind 2-0 REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) An appeals committee re-' jected today Bobby Fischer's protest against I his loss of Thursday's world championship chess game by forfeit.

The four-man committee supported the decision of chief referee Lothar Schmid to award the game to Boris Spassky because Fischer failed to appear. The decision left Fischer two games down in a 24-game match where Fischer needs the equivalent of 12 victories and a draw to take Spassky's title. Fischer stayed in his hotel room Thursday and refused to play unless three cameras filming the match for movie and television sales were removed from the hall. Since the American challenger lost the first on Wednesday, referee Lothar Schmid's forfeit ruling gave Spassky a 2-0 lead. Schmid said the third game of the 24-game match would be held on schedule Sunday, but the future of the match was very much in doubt.

Schmid said it depends on whether Fischer continues his boycott. He added that the World Chess Federation FIDE could step in at any time and disqualify him. But Dry, Max organization, Euwe, said president Schmid of was the still in charge of the match and must decide how to handle the American. A spokesman for promoter Chester Fox, who bought the movie and TV rights for the er match from the Icelandic Chess Federation, said the cameras had to stay because "the whole financial structure of the match depends on it." It was the prospect of movie and TV sales that allowed the Icelanders to offer a record $125,000 purse to the two players, and Fischer and Spassky are also to divide a share of the movie-TV money estimated at a minimum of $55,000. Fox said Fischer admitted he couldn't hear or see the three cameras, but "he said they bothered him because he knew they were there."

Daily Journal Page 19 CIRCLES ON THE LANDSCAPE Air travelers unfamiliar with this area may wonder what those big circles are out in the countryside. They are, of course, the patterns made by self-propelled irrigation rigs which pivot around a central point and water fields as large as 160 acres.

This one is in the Town of Plover, south of County Trunk HH and east of the Highway 51 belt line. (Staff Photo) Fischer had objected first to the cameras Wednesday night and left chess board in the sports palace for half an hour before conceding defeat in the first match. Intense negotiations through the rest of the night and all day Thursday failed to coax him from his hotel room. Spassky had arrived meanwhile at the sports palace and was seated behind the black figures before a crowd of about 1,000. The white pieces, and with them the first move, were Fischer's as the loser of the first game.

At 5 p.m., the scheduled starting, Schmid started the playing clock. When the hour time limit for the first move by Fischer passed, the referee declared a forfeit. Spassky was given a standing ovation as he left the hall. Jivo Nei, a Spassky assistant, called Fischer's refusal to appear "a grave insult not only to the Soviet people but to the whole world." Allow Emergency Set-Aside Hay Use Due to a general shortage of hay throughout the county, the Portage County ASC Committee has received authorization to permit emergency grazing and harvesting of forage for a limited time on the 1972 feed grain program aside acres. Permission to harvest or graze set-aside acres will be given only to those program participants who can justify to the County ASC Committee their need for the extra hay.

The cost to the farmer for harvesting or grazing his setaside acres will be from $9 to $13 per acre, depending upon quality of hay. Persons buying hay or grazing rights from feed grain participants must also justify their need for extra hay to the County ASC Committee. Harvesting or grazing of setaside acres without prior approval from the County ASC Committee, which has its offices in the County-City Building, Stevens Point, is a violation of program regulations. If prior approval is not obtained, the regular program penalties (reduction or loss of grain payment) will apply. The charge for harvesting and grazing of set-aside must be paid immediately upon application if approval is granted, said John Kleckner, county ASC executive director.

Farmers utilizing set-aside acres for haying or grazing under the emergency program will be permitted to do so only until Sept. 1. After this date no hay may be harvested by any mechanical means; however, grassland on set-aside may be grazed as in previous years.

Jenkins, has ruled that a Detroit couple owe a local home contractor $13,182.20. Zwickey ruled that Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Norman, Detroit, owe the money to Eric Konkol, representing Konkol Home Builders, 1111 11 11 Minnesota for a house the Normans contracted for in July 1971, built in the Town of Sharon. A 12-man jury heard the facts in the case, but after the evidence was in, Konkol asked for a directed verdict by the judge and the jury was dismissed.

Norman's attorney, Jerome Maeder, Wausau, had suggested 'that Norman make an out of court settlement. Norman did not care for that advice and he fired Maeder and presented his own defense. Norman claimed that the construction was defective but produced no evidence to substantiate that contention. He called no defense witnesses and did not. ask any questions of Konkol's witnesses.

In addition the $13,182.20 he must pay Konkol, Norman is also being assessed about $1,000 in court costs and jury fees. Missing Trailer Was Not Stolen A mobile home that was reported as stolen to Portage County sheriff's deputies Thursday turned out not to have been stolen, but sold twice because of a misunderstanding. Deputies said Don Cote, Route 1, Plover, had purchased the 40-foot long 1957 model house trailer for use as a cottage. When he went to the lot it had been sitting on, located in the area of County Trunks and BB west of Almond, in order to transport it to northern Wisconsin Thursday, he found it missing. Deputies said two parties had sold the trailer to Cote and another individual, without realizing that it was being sold twice.

The trailer has been recovered and arrangements have been made to straighten the situation out. Hijackings Despite Extra WASHINGTON (AP) Finding a way to halt airline hijackings has baffled officials of the nation's airlines and the Feder: al Aviation Administration. Airport security has tightened all noticeably since the beginning of the year. Carry-on luggage frequently has been searched. Passengers have been screened for weapons by electronic metal detectors.

Ticket agents have kept an eye peeled for suspicious persons who fit a secret hijacker profile. But the hijackings continue. Six jetliners have been hijacked in the past six weeks alone, including two that were commandeered by gun-toting sky pirates Wednesday night. "We don't know what the holes in our security are," said FAA spokesman Dennis Feldman. "We have to take each instance on a case-by-case basis to determine whether there has been proper screening," he said.

FAA administrator John H. Shaffer has ordered an investigation of all hijackings to determine whether airlines are living up to security regulations put into effect in April. Two airlines, United and Pacific Southwest, were fined 000 each after the FAA ruled that lax security contributed to the success of a pair of hijackings that occurred within days after the new regulations went into The effectuations require airline personnel to observe all boarding passengers to see whether any of them match a behavioral profile of potential hijackers developed by the FAA. The airlines also have the option of using metal-detecting devices or searching passengers or their hand luggage, but are not required to do so. "There is no way to calculate what percentage of passengers pass through the magnetometers," said Air Transport Association spokesman James McCarthy.

"At some boarding places all passengers go past the devices. At other times or places, only persons believed to match the profile are sent through the detectors." According to government statistics, 205 persons have been arrested during the past 18 months for trying to board an airliner with a weapon or for making hijack or sabotage threats while boarding a plane. During the same period, according to government figures, more than 1,100 guns, knives and other weapons have been seized. Continue Curbs Last week the White House, concerned by lax security on the easy-boarding shuttle flights, ordered airlines with such flights to begin checking all carry-on luggage and require all passengers to show two forms of identification. The order came after two Pacific Southwest shuttle flights in California were hijacked on successive days, Two Airlines Increase Security CHICAGO (AP) Two major U.S.

airlines have announced stepped-up, security measures an attempt to thwart hijackings. American Airlines said Thursday that carry-on baggage was being inspected at boarding gates as passengers walked onto planes at O'Hare International Airport. United Air Lines, the nation's largest carrier, announced it will employ personnel to inspect all hand luggage carried by persons boarding its 727 flights. It added that it will continue its policy of making spot checks of passengers boarding its other flights. An American Airlines spokesman said the luggage inspection would not be limited to passengers boarding the 727s.

The increased security measures came in the aftermath of the Wednesday hijacking of an American jetliner between Oklahoma City and Dallas. The hijacker later surrendered. Edward Carlson, president and chief executive officer of United, said the increased security measures were being put into effect "immediately throughout our system." Collins Denies Kickbacks WASHINGTON (AP) Texas Congressman James M. Collins has denied any knowledge of an $18,000 kickback scheme for which his former chief aide was convicted Thursday. The aide, George A.

Haag, contended throughout his fourday trial that he carried out the kickback scheme at the direction of Collins, a millionaire Republican from Dallas. Haag, 33, stood tight-lipped and erect as the jury foreman repeated "guilty, your honor," to 20 counts of mail fraud, two counts of using falsified House payroll forms and one count of obstructing justice. His wife cried softly. He faces a maximum 15-year prison sentence under terms set by U.S. District Judge Oliver Gasch, but lawyers said they believe he would get less than five.

An appeal is planned. No date was set for sentencing. Haag testified that Collins concocted the kickback and payroll manipulation scheme to pay $13,000 in bonuses to workers in his 1968 campaign and also to build an office slush fund. But Collins, who was not called to testify, told a news conference following the verdict that he had never promised campaign bonuses to anyone and did not know of the kickbacks until they were exposed by columnist Jack Anderson. He said one of Haag's first acts when he came to Washington was to raise his own salary from $18,000 to $25,000 by falsifying his House payroll card.

think George just liked to live high off the hog," Collins said. WASHINGTON (AP) Capt. Leonard S. Banker, 49, has been appointed director of the National Geodetic Survey. The survey, with headquarters in Rockville, of the Commerce Department's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
