Truck Vote WASHINGTON (AP) The Teamsters Union says the membership vote on a proposed national contract may be indecisive enough to force a second balloting. Frank Firzsimmqns, general vice president, said Tuesday union members whose votes have been counted so far "are voting a majority" lo accept the proposed pact. But he: indicated large num- aers of the 450,000 teamsters involved are not voting, and added: "If a substantial number of employes do not vote, a mail referendum may have to. be conducted." Apparent confusion among some Teamsters over whether the contract already had been approved '--plus reluctance by some to vote while a trucking strike lockout continues in Chicago was generally credited with the low vote.
