Tuesday, 'January tt, 1771 EDWARDSVILLE INTELLIGENCER Some Work Resumes On 743 Bridge Job By Terry Hillig Of the Intelligencer Work on a bridge project on Illinois 143 northwest of Edwardsville has resumed on a reduced scale, according to Assistant District Highway Engineer Harold Gegel. The $176,627 job, being done by Calhoun County Contracting Corp. of Springfield, was ordered suspended last Wednesday by the Illinois Division of Highways when an examination on the job site revealed that hiring sequences established by the division for minority trainees was not being met. The hiring sequence specifies that of each 10 workers of any particular craft, the third and sixth must be a minority trainee. On the job Wednesday were two laborers, one teamster, three operating engineers and four carpenters.

According to the sequence, there should have been at least one carpenter trainee and one operating engineer trainee. Monday's work force was made up of two carpenters, two laborers, two operating engineers and one teamster, Gegel said, and is in compliance with the hiring sequence. With only seven workers. Gegel said he expected the work on the project to slow. Gegel said that under state contracts, buildeis are allowed a certain number of "working days" to complete a project.

It the project is not finished within that time, the contractors are penalized, he said. This winter, however, according to Gegel, the state is not charging working days against contractors between Nov. 15 and March 15, "to encourage winter work wherever possible and to relieve unemployment in the construction mdustiy." Thus March 16 will be the first working day charged against the Springfield firm, Gegel continued If the project is not completed in a specified number of working days after that, deductions will be made from the company's pay, he said. Work on another aiea project --a $2,952,390 modernization of Illinois 140 in the Cottage Hills vicinity--was still suspended today. The contract is also held by Calhoun County Contracting Corp.

Another project on which ork has been resumed at a reduced scale is a $2,505,142 project to construct twin bridges Silver Creek on Interstate 64 just northeast of Scott Air Force Base in St. Clair County. The contract is held by Hoeffken Bro Construction Co. of Belleville. Gegel said that one laborer and two operating engineers weie at work on that job this The National Scene Communications Satellite Orbits (c) 1971 New York Times Cape Kennedy, Fla A new generation of commercial communications satellites was introduced Monday night with the launching into earth orbit of the first Intelsat 4.

Richard B. Ogilvie announced today. White House spokesmen said the trip is part of a-continuing series initiated by the vice president and designed to improve federal cooperation with states and with local governments. Nun Claims Phones Tapped Harnsburg, Pa (AP) A nun claimed today that the U. government has tapped telephone calls within the Romaff-Catholic Church Sister Joques Egan, subpoenaed to tesMfy before a grand jury investigating an alleged bomb-kidnap plot, made Ihe charge in a statement distributed to reporters.

She gave six reasons why she refused to testify before" the grand lury. One of the reasons was that evidence that brought her before the grand jury was secured by illegal wire taps. Then she said: "In addition, all or some of the telephone communications monitored by the S. government involved communications within the Boman Catholic Church of America and, specifically, between my provincial headquarters and the offices of the church in New York, Rome and throughout the United States." In the statement Sister Egan did not explain why she believed the government was monitoring calls within the church, and she did not answer questions from reporters. The jury is looking into aspects of a case involving three Roman Catholic priests, a former priest, a nun and a Pakistani graduate student indicted on charges of platting to kidnap President Nixon's foreign affairs adviser, Henry Kissinger, and blow up the heating system in five federal buildings on Feb.

to be determined The decision, which is certain to touch off controversy within the industry, represents a reversal of longstanding policy for the exchange. It came in response to rising pressures from such institutions as mutual funds and insurance companies to gam membership thereby avoid pacing commissions. The exchange's doors have been closed to institutions since its founding in the 18th century and commissions have always been fixed by the exchange. But the fixed-rate concept also has been challenged repeatedly in recent years. Californians Rate Democrat Hopefuls (c) 1971 Washington Star Sacramento, Calif.

Edmund S. Muskie is cool. Birch Bayh is hot, and George S. MeGovern is on the tepid side. That seemed to be the way delegates to a California Democratic convention viewed the three senators who came here seeking support for the presidential nomination.

In random sampling of participants, Muskie appeared to be a solid favorite, but several indicated they were for him because they think he is a winner. Bayh, who spoke after Muskie and MeGovern had departed, received by far the biggest ovation, after giving a hard-hitting, emotion-filled speech. There appeared to be a feeling among many delegates, even some who said they were for Muskie, that Bayh could develop into a hot property PATIENT TRANSFERRED Mrs. Ed W.

SIU Students, Officials Will Meet on Food morning, Thus, it too now is in compliance with the hiring sequance, according to Gegel. Fifth Suspension In other developments, a fifth project has been ordered suspended if it does not comply with the hiring sequence by the close of work today. The project involves relocation and bridge work of a federal aid secondary route between New Athens and Baldwin, southwest of Lenzburg, in St.

Clair County. The $206,778 contract is held by Bituminous Fuel and Oil Co. of Collinsville. Gegel said that when the job was checked Monday morning, ther were three operating engineers, three carpenters, and two laborers woikmg, No trainees were at work. The job did not comply as to operating engineers or carpenters, Gegel said.

A project invohmg construction of a bridge to carry relocated Illinois 13 over the Kaskaskia near New Athens, previously announced as suspended, has been only partially suspended, Gegel said. He said that Neal Lcntz Construction Co Elwin, has been permitted to continue work on a cofferdam at the east bank of the liver because of the necessity of getting it above water level before work stops. The contract is for $1,537,951. Campus officials will have alternatives to offer to students protesting prices at the Southern Illinois UmVersity-Edwardsville cafeteria when they meet this afternoon. William Crabb, food service director at the university, said alternative plans and ideas will be prepared for representatives of the protesting group.

Crabb said the cafeteria now attempts to offer a variety of food items and varying price ranges. One alternative, he a i might be to offer additional lower priced items on the menu. "Our prices are comparable with other food service centers and the chain drive-in restaurants." Crabb said. "We have to pay same prices to buy the food as restaurants." The university cafeteria, he said, is not subsidized like high school cafeterias, which receive state aid and government surplus food. Crabb and other university center officials demonstrated to the protesting students that prices are compaiable by making a study of food items sold elsewhere comparing quantity, quality and price with similar items sold at the cafeteria A boycott was called by the students last Tuesday and was 35 per cent effective its first day.

The study was made and most of the students absent from the cafetena Tuesday returned by Thursday. The boycott was called off Friday and the meeting today arranged. Despite the comparable prices, the student group is still seeking a 20 to 25 per cent reduction in prices at the cafe- tena. 'Good Soldier Schweik' to Be Shown af SIU An Austrian film, "The Good Soldier Schweik," will be presented at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, at 12:30 m. Wednesday in the Communications Building theater.

Sponsored by the foreign language and literature faculty, the 98-mmute film, made in 1961, is open to the public free. The dialogue is in German with English subtitles. Wi ittcn by Czech novelist Jaroslav Hasek after World War the story concerns Josef Schweik, "a fumbling, bumbling character who dealt in stray dachshunds, making them saleable by the addition of makeup and a pedigree," one reviewer wrote. "Sehweik is not dishonest; people like pedigreed dogs." When war breaks out Schweik makes the error of saying what he thinks. This trait promptly lands him in the army's psychiatry ward, where he is subjected to an hilarious set of tests.

In the words of Schweik, the outcome tags him as "a certified idiot."

(I Photo) Legality Questioned in Highland Council Member Defends Garbage Contract By Emma Almond Intelligencer Cori espondent Highland The garbage collection eon- tract between the City of Highland and Modern Sanitation of Belleville is legal, City Councilman Homer Poss said at a council meeting Monday night. Councilman Bill Stieb had claimed recently that the contract, let without bids, was illegal.

Stieb sent a letter claiming the illegality to all council members. Poss said, at the meeting Monday, that there were several inaccuracies in Stieb's letter. Poss said the opinion that the contract was illegal is Stieb's Area Deaths Simon Henry Dies; Age 62 Simon Henry, 62, of 803 Sherman died at 4:30 m.

FAA Official Says Illinois Sites Preferred St. Louis (AP) An official of the Federal Aviation Administration said Monday that selection of the best site for a second metropolitan airport will be announced in about three months. At a meeting of the labor and management plan committee, Robert Browne of the Kansas City FFA office said three sites on the Illinois side of St. Louis were being considered for the airport.

"It certainly appears that the most preferred location is in Illinois," Browne said. Browne said the three Illinois sites under consideration are between nine and 19 miles from the center of metropolitan St. Louis. The closest acceptable site on the Missouri side is about 30 miles from the metropolitan center, he said. Cost of the proposed airport is estimated at $350 million.

own interpretation. The council had obtained the opinion of City Attorney James Byrne that the contract could be approved without bids by a three-fourths vote of the council. Byrne supported Poss' statement. Poss said that the city's obligation in the matter was to provide the necessary service in the best and most economical way and, in his opinion, the city was doing that He said that the city had been spending about $50,600 yearly on garbage collection when the city did the work, and this covered only the cost of labor--not initial investments, maintenance, or landfill expenses. He said that $50,600 is only slightly less than the contract with the Belleville firm for all the work involved.

Poss said he did not think that the hiring of Highland citizens for the work should have been primary consideration, although he said that Modern Sanitation has offered to hire Highland people where there are openings. Highland City Manager Enos Purcell said today that the present contract with Modern Sanitation is the second renewal of a contract let two years ago. He said the agreement was a "negotiated contract," and that the council had approved it on the basis of the past "two years of good and satisfactory PRINCE JUAN CARLOS WELCOMED BY NIXON Washington (AP) President Nixon welcomed Prince Juan Carlos de Borbon of Spain today in a full honor ceremony on the White House south lawn.

He will remain in the United States through Sunday.

service with Modern Sanitation." The original contract with the Belleville company was also negotiated, Purcell said. It was approved, he said, on the basis of a study the city had made into the results of bid-letting by other communities for the same service. Under the contract negotiated two years ago, "we were able to arrive at a better agreement, both in extent of service and in price, than did the communities we studied who had advertised for bids. Purcell said that the present controversy resulted from a "personality conflict." In other action, Highland Police Chief Don Matlock presented two proposals to the council for consideration. Both were designed to upgrade the police department Matlock proposed that the city hire five women employes for the department, which would provide an office clerk and a radio and telephone monitor around the clock.

Presently, he said, a patrolman is required to answer the phone and monitor the radio. In emergency situations, the patrolman is forced to leave the phone and radio unattended for short periods of time. He said that one of the five women should be qualified as a police matron. Matlock said that the proposal would make better use of the patrolmen's abilities and would provide more adequate service in the office. Although he did not have the exact figures, he said, the costs of such a program would be subsidized by the federal government.

He said the government would provide 50 per cent of the first year's salaries for the women. Matlock also proposed that, if the first proposal is implemented, the city purchase a new car for the department, since more patrolmen would be avail- able for duty out of the office. He said that the new car should be maintained as an unmarked car for work in cases involving juveniles. Matlock also suggested that, if the five women are hired, the Highland department might become the communications center for the police departments of surrounding communities, since the county is dropping this service. Matlock was directed by the council to return at the next council meeting with exact costs involved in the proposals.

Building Purchase In other business, the council discussed purchasing the Bellm Freight Co. building in Highland. The property would be used by the city as a storage garage. Council members agreed to inspect the building and to consider buying it. City Manager Enos Purcell reported to the council that Bill Easterly, of Nordberg Electric, prime contractor for generating equipment for the power plant addition, had been to Highland for an inspection and that work has been proceeding on schedule except one substation, where work was slowed by lack of parts.

The first Nordberg engine is expected to reach Highland for installation by Feb. 3 or 4, Purcell said. Purcell also said that the negotiation of a group of municipalities with Union Electric for a power interconnection is deadlocked over a question of territorial rights. An appearance before authorities in Washington during the past week brought no progress, he said.
