Strike (Continued from Page 1) cent over the next three years.

The settlement requires rank- and-file approval. In announcing the settlement at a news conference Sunday night, CWA President Glenn E. Watts said the contract would be submitted for ratification only after local contract negotiations are completed. A deadline for wrapping up local issues was set for midnight, Aug. 11, after which time any of Bell's 23 operating companies across the country could be struck individually.

In addition to pay increases, the union chief said the offer provides full protection against inflation, the "largest improvement ever made" in provisions, a company-paid dental plan and more than $100 million in local money for resolving what he called inequities in job classifica- 1 tions. A major stumbling block during the more than two months of negotiations had been the issue of union security and Watts said the new contract offered substantial improvement. Specific details of the contract, including a breakdown of the proposed pay increases, were withheld pending completion of local contracts. Telephone workers currently earn a maximum of $166.50 for operators and up to $260 weekly for craftsmen. Impeachment (Continued from Page 1) Judiciary Committee's report on the three articles of impeachment it has approved, along with dissenting views of the 10 Republicans who voted against them.

Meanwhile, in other developments: Nixon has decided for the time being not to take to the airwaves in a national speech about impeachment. Nixon reached that decision at Camp David, after conferring with his speechwriters and aides. President Gerald R. Ford said at news conferences in Mississippi and New Orleans that he could see some justification for House censure of Nixon as an alternative to imeachment. Ford said he still believes the facts do not warrant impeachment.

Magazine said in this week's issue that only one minute was needed to change a reel of tape that recorded a presidential conversation in which a more than five-minute gap has been discovered. Newsweek said that Nixon is using a Sony recorder with an erasure mechanism rendered inoperative by the Secret Service to monitor 34 tapes to be turned over to U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica.

Delta Queen Loses In Riverboat Race PEORIA, 111. (AP) Amid the wail of Dixieland music, steam calliopes and the cheers of thousands, the Julia Belle Swain, of Peoria, has defeated the Delta Queen of Cincinnati, in a race between two of the last remaining paddlewheel river steamboats in the country. "Here goes the whistle, the victory whistle. It was a wonderful thrill," grinned Capt. Dennis Trone Sunday, as his Julia Belle Swain slid past the finish line about two boat lengths ahead of the Delta Queen.

Trone's wife, Libby, who sat anxiously next to her husband during the race, slipped below to start up a chorus of "The Old Grey Mare," on the calliope as the boat churned by cheering thousands who lined the riverbank. For Trone the victory was revenge for last year's race when he lost to the Delta Queen by 50 feet. The year before the Julia Belle Swain lost by default when she developed engine trouble and never left her mooring. "Winning is twice as much fun as losing so I figure we're even with the Delta Queen now," Trone told the crowd after he was carried by cheering crew members to the ceremonies stand. The Delta Queen, the older and larger of the two boats, began belching huge billows of black smoke as the race neared its finish.

Capt. Ernest E. Wagner ordered his passengers to the front of the craft in an attempt to lift the huge red sternwheel higher in the water to gain speed. "He was running as fast as he could. You saw all that black smoke," said Trone.

"Now he's got a tremendous boiler cleaning job to do." The race took 31 minutes to complete and turned the clock back a century to the days when paddlewheel riverboats regularly plied the Illinois River near this historic riverfront city. Trone said the Julia Belle Swain hit a speed of 11 miles an hour during the race and added: "It certainly isn't Indianapolis speed." position in a primary election that has drawn the fewest numtter of candidates in nearly two decades. The ho-hum interest of the public toward Tuesday's balloting, attributed to a disenchantment with politics in general, has prompted Secretary of State James C. Kirkpatrick to predict one of the smallest voter turnouts in history. Only 20.7 per cent of the state's eligible voters and 31 per cent of the registered voters will go to the polls, Kirkpatrick predicts.

Cason Urges Session On Interest Rate JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) Despite the governor's continuous denials that he will consider a special legislative session this September, Senate President Pro Tern William J. Cason asked 'Gov. Christopher S. Bond today to change his mind on the matter.

While there have been reports that Bond may be considering a special session to consider increasing the state's 8 per cent interest rate ceiling in mid-November, Cason said in a letter that November is too long to wait before action on "the interest rate problem, which is critical to Missouri's economy." "I know you have received many letters from citizens, legislators and interested groups urging you to take the statesmanlike course and bring Missouri's inflexible 8 per cent interest ceiling to the attention of the general assembly," the Clinton Democrat wrote. "If it is governmentally right to do this, and I think it is," Cason continued, "It should be done as soon as possible to prevent further erosion of our economy. "To wait until November would mean that the change in interest rates could not be effective until sometime next' year." Cason pointed out that estimates have placed the loss in mortgage money in Missouri at "hundreds of millions of dollars" because lenders are going to more liberal states to make investments. He also contended that if a special legislative session is held in November, after the general election, instead of in conjunction with the 10-day constitutional veto session next month, action to increase the usury rate would come under consideration by "lame duck" members of the legislature, a fact Cason claimed could cause difficulty in gaining passage of any legislation. Building Collapse Traps Workers the federal Drug Enforcement Agency building in downtown Miami collapsed today, injuring at least nine office workers and trapping an unknown number.

"As far as we know no one is dead," a police spokesman said. Police said the rear section of the three-story, warehouse- type building apparently collapsed when cars parked on the roof became too heavy for the structure and crashed into offices below. Jackson Memorial Hospital officials said they had admitted nine patients injured.
