10 MUNCIE STAR, TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1963 Negotiators Tackle Main Issue in Railroad Dispute WASHINGTON (AP) tiators seeking to settle the railroad "featherbedding" dispute moved quickly to the central issue Monday-elimination of 40,000 firemen from freight and yard trains. If the railroads and five operating unions can agree on this point, it probably will clear the way for settlement of most other issues in the work rules controversy. But if no agreement is reached by June 12 in the new round of bargaining sessions which began Monday a nationwide rail strike may result. The railroads contend that outmoded work rules--they call it featherbedding- them $600 million each year in unnecessary operating expenses. J.

E. Wolfe, chief spokesman for the railroads, described the opening session as friendly, and said, Botvinnik Loses World Chess Title to Petrosyan MOSCOW (AP)-Tigran Petros-1 van, a bushy-haired Armenian who was orphaned and forced to work as a janitor as a boy, is the new world chess champion. The 33-year-old native of Tbilisi clinched a victory over the aging defending titleholder, Mikhail Botvinnik, Monday by drawing the 22nd game on the 11th move. The draw gave Petrosyan a to point lead in the 24-game title series and made it impossible for the 51-year-old Soviet grand master to catch him. AP Photofax TIGRAN PETROSYAN The match began March 23.

Twice during the strenuous battle" of wits, the aging champion became ill. Petrosyan himself was stricken once, forcing a postponement. Botvinnik looked pale and tired in Monday's decisive match. He played whites. This makes the third time Botvinnik's reign has been interrupted since he became the king of the chess boards back in 1948.

Vasily Smylov beat him in a 1957 and Mikhail Tal in 1960, but each time Botvinnik came back to recapture the crown. Petrosyan was born June 17, 1929, in Tbilisi and took up chess at the age of 12. He became a disciple of Cuban grand master, Jose Raul Capablanca. Petrosyan was just thumbing through textbooks in 1941 when war broke out. His mother died soon afterward.

When he was 15, father also died and he took his father's job as janitor at the Officer's Club. He studied chess early in the mornings and at night after work. He moved to Moscow in 1949 and Grand Master Andre Lilienthal became his coach. Petrosyan has a style which is said to baffle and irritate most experts. Some accuse him of playing erratically.

Others say he lacks courage. Stahr Defends Right of Students to Differ LEXINGTON, Ky. (UPI)- Dr. Elvis Stahr president of Indiana University, Monday vigorously defended freedom of speech in an address obviously aimed at the indictment of three of his students for violation of an Indiana antisubversive law. Three officers of the Indiana campus chapter of the Young Socialist Alliance were indicted by a grand jury at Bloomington, recently on charges they engaged in subversive activity.

Civil rights groups have rallied to the defense of the three on grounds the 1951 Indiana law is unconstitutional. Dr. Stahr addressed the Sons of the American Revolution at national congress here. He reviewed at length his opposition to Communism and his belief in the right to differ and to freely express those differences of opinion. "When forces of tyranny and suppression are manifest daily as a very real part of the world in which we live," Stahr said, "their pressures create an environment full 1 of almost daily disappointments and frustrations for anyone who is truly dedicated to the cause of freedom.

100 East 42nd Street New York 17, New York Bridge Fund Levy Granted Approval NEW CASTLE A cumulative bridge fund levy of 7 cents for the county for a five-year period starting with taxes for 1963 payable in 1964 was approved unanimously Monday by the Henry County Commissioners. The commissioners declared they thought it to be in the best interest of the taxpayers that the bridge construction and repair program be financed on a "pay as you go" basis rather than paying interest on a bond issue. Seventy-six of Indiana's 92 counties have cumulative bridge fund levies, it was pointed out. Monday's action followed a public hearing on the proposal on April 15, at which several persons appeared objecting to the proposal. Two members of the Henry County Taxpayers Association, Dale Thornburgh and H.

W. Meggs, appeared at Monday's meeting. Thornburg appealed to the commissioners to reduce the proposed 10 cent levy to 5 cents, saying "If you can't get enough money with tax, then try to get it through gas tax. Meggs said, "'We would like to see it come out of funds that have excess money they don't have to have." The approved seven-cent rate may be raised, lowered or eliminated for any years after it is approved. It may normally be lowered or eliminated without approval of the State Tax Board, but a raise in the tax must be treated and handled as a completely new application procedure.

Based on Henry County's net assessed valuation for tax purposes of $83,107,910, the 7 7-cent bridge levy will bring in $58,175 annually for bridge construction and repairs. A motion to close the Courthouse Wednesday afternoons and remain open as usual Saturdays until noon was rescinded after Henry Circuit Court Judge Wesley W. Ratliff, Jr. expressed the opinion that such a move might more headaches" with Circuit Court operating although of the Courthouse was closed."

Both Wolfe and Davidson fused to speculate on prospects of a strike. But Wolfe noted by mutual agreement the June strike deadline can be extended. "I am positive that both sides realize their responsibilities and very sincere effort will be made to settle this," Wolfe said. When he received the report from his emergency board week, President Kennedy urged both sides to quickly get down to serious bargaining.

Recommends Elimination "There is no time to be lost completing their agreement this critical dispute. The ultimate dependence must be upon their own efforts," he said. The emergency board last week recommended elimination of needed firemen by attrition, they retire, die or move to other jobs. The board proposed that when a fireman's job becomes vacant by any of these means, the road has the authority to abolish the job rather than refill it. union can protest the action, must be able to prove that loss the fireman would create a safety hazard or an undue burden another employe.

"But we must remember that tyranny and freedom are enemies, not handmaidens; they are opposites, not complements. We have far too much to lose ultimately if we unleash the forces of suppression under the guise of protecting freedom, and this would be double tragic because it would be failing to recognize the power of the force which freedom itself carries with it. "Let me make it clear that am talking about freedom of speech and open debate, not about such things as criminal conspiracy, subversive acts, sabotage, espionage or violence." Stahr said "our national agencies primarily charged with surveillance and handling of genuinely subversive activites" are "not only extremely alert, competent and skillful but infinitely more successful than amateurs who try to inject themselves into this field." "If individual freedom means anything really significant to Americans it means at the very least that the rights to differ, the right of dissent, the right of debate, is jealously guarded for those of our fellow-citizens with whom we disagree. "No matter how well-meaning the motives of those who would substitute indoctrination for education, and suppression of opinion for freedom of expression, they not only betray the American heritage but their efforts are us never pervert the word as the communists have tried to pervert the words 'democracy' and 'peace'," Stahr said.
