June prices rise WASHINGTON (AP) A renewed surge in livestock and meat prices led an over-all rise of five-tenths of one per cent in wholesale prices of food and industrial products in June, the government said today. The unemployment rate dropped during the month. It 1 was the second straight substantial monthly price increase, following a three-fifths of one per cent hike in May for the largest two-month increase since last January and February. The Labor Department also reported that the nation's unemployment rate dropped from 5.9 to 5.5 per cent of the work force last month for the lowest figure in more than a year and a half. The improvement was entirely due to seasonal factors.

But the actual total of jobless Americans climbed 1.1 million to 5.4 million in the annual summer of school youngsters seeking work. Because the rise in the work force was not as large as expected, the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics figured it as a decline in the jobless rate on a seasonal basis. Livestock prices climbed 4.7 per cent, poultry rose 6.9 per cent and processed meats, poultry and fish rose 3.6 per cent, the report on wholesale prices said. Industrial raw materials rose three-tenths of one per cent and consumer-finished goods--those ready for retail markets-increased five-tenths of one per cent. The increases pushed the government's Wholesale Price Index up to 118.8 of its 1967 base, meaning that it cost wholesalers $118.80 in June for every $100 worth of goods five years ago.

The index was 3.9 per cent above a year ago. The report said wholesale prices had climbed at an annual rate of 5.3 per cent in the seven months so far of President Nixon's Phase 2 wageprice controls, a larger increase than the 5.2 per cent rate of increase in the eight months prior to the Phase 1 wage-price freeze imposed by Nixon last August. The report listed increases for gasoline, electric power and some other fuels; wood products; motor vehicle parts; machinery; textiles, clothing and shoes; paper products; rubber and plastics; drugs and paint. There were price declines for natural gas; major household appliances; television sets; chemicals, and glass. The price of fruits and vegetables increased nine-tenths of one per cent; eggs were up 1.4 per cent and sugar rose fourtenths.

There were declines of seventenths of one per cent for milk; 1.8 per cent for over-all dairy products and seven-tenths of one per cent for vegetable oils. The report on unemployment said the jobless rate for men declined from 4.3 to 4 per cent with a total of 1.9 million. The rate for women dropped from 5.9 to 5.5 per cent with a total of 1.6 million and the rate for teen-agers declined from 15.7 to 14.5 per cent with a total of 1.9 million. It said the total number of employed Americans declined about 170,000 to 88.7 million, but seasonal factors changed this to a rise of more than 2 million because the total usually drops much more in June. The report also said that wages of some 50 million rankand-file workers increased onecent per hour to $3.62 and average weekly earnings increased $2.18 to $135.39.

This was up $7.82 or 6.1 per cent in the past year. Right turn brings crash James F. Pennington, 23, Crestline, attempted to make a right turn from the center lane of Perry St. Thursday but found himself involved in an accident instead.

1972 Meany aims to block McGovern nomination WASHINGTON (AP) AFLCIO President George Meany headed for the Democratic National Convention today, reportedly determined to block the presidential nomination of Sen. George McGovern. Driven by personal as well as political antipathy, the labor titan has launched a drive that commands the sympathies of most union presidents if not their wholehearted support. Some have voiced misgivings that an unrelenting antiMcGovern campaign could destroy a tenuous party unity and encourage the re-election of President Nixon, like McGovern the target of numerous Meany barbs. If McGovern wins the nomination despite Meany, labor leaders would be confronted with limited options, none palatable to them.

Meany and his chief political strategist, Al Barkan, were counting on union presidents to sway convention delegates away from McGovern, the front-runner on the verge of capturing the 1,509 delegates needed for nomination.

Per- day. Detectives held on bribe charges CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) Two Cleveland homicide detectives accused of soliciting $1,000 from a suspect in a murder case have been freed on $5,000 bond. Detectives Booker Bledsoe and Cleveland Sims posted the bond Thursday after they pleaded innocent in Municipal Court to the bribery charges. The two are charged with promising the suspect, who was later released without charge, to testify favorably when his case went before a Cuyahoga County grand jury. stop McGovern on the first and second ballots," said Jerry Wurf, a McGovern supporter and president of the AFL-CIO American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.

Edward Carlough, president of the Sheet Metal Workers, said if such a move were successful would make the nomination totally worthless to anybody else." Some union presidents have appealed to Meany to tone down the anti-McGovern drive. But, in a showdown, most union presidents still bow to Meany's wishes on major issues. "I'm going along with Meany, whatever he said the chief of one large construction union, who asked not to be quoted by name.

Others consider neutrality a real possibility.

The support of the 13.6-million-member federation of 129 unions and its money-raising Committee on Political Education is considered crucial to the chances of any Democratic nominee to defeat Nixon in November. COPE mailed out 50 million pieces of political literature in 1968 and was credited with almost swinging the presidential election to Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey. Fischer Open burning law fought loses draw REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer lost the draw Thursday night, giving Boris Spassky the first move, and the world championship chess match will finally start next Tuesday.

Unless the American challenger or the Soviet champion pleads illness and gets another postponement. The confusion of the past week was summarized by the old woman selling cigarettes who asked in the beginning: "Fischer come?" Near the end it was: "Spassky go?" "I'm very pessimistic," Dr. Max Euwe said at 10 a.m. At noon: "It's a very delicate situation." At 7 p.m., the president of the International Chess Federation sighed: "There's hope." That was Tuesday. It could have been any day in the garbled prelude to what chess lovers say is the match of the century Spassky of the U.S.S.R.

VS. Fischer of the U.S.A. Spassky arrived early to wait for Bobby. Saying "I came to play," he philosophically accepted the first postponement when Fischer didn't show. Later he demanded an apology or he wouldn't play.

At one news conference, one of Fischer's lawyers said he'd come to say he had nothing to say. Yefim Geller, Spassky's second, fielded questions with: "'Kak Gavarit po Angliski," or as you say in English, "No comment." Then there's the "Eavesdropper," a man approaching middle age with a shock of graying hair combed in careful disarray onto his forehead. He takes voluminous notes, for a magazine piece, he says. On scraps of paper he records conversations he's overheard. He carries the scraps in a red plastic shopping bag as he moves soundlessly about the hotel lobbies.

One final quote, from Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation, who was under pressure from Fischer to give up a share of the gate receipts: "I have worked for more than a year to get this match to Iceland. I would do many things. But I will not bite into a sour apple." Slocum named general manager TOLEDO, Ohio (AP)-Storer Broadcasting Co. announced Thursday the appointment of Kent Slocum, 36, as general manager of radio station WSPD in Toledo. He succeeds John Linn, who resigned.

Slocum began his radio career in Huron, S.D., in 1951 and joined WSPD in 1966. He was appointed program manager in 1967. COLUMBUS. Ohio (AP) Several objections to open burning regulations were voiced Thursday at an Ohio Air Pollution Control Board hearing on proposed changes in its air quality control plan. Spokesmen for eight Ohio electric utilities said the "aircurtain destructor' increased the cost of clearing land for power line rightsof -way without substantially reducing air pollution.

The destructor is used to force air at high speed into an open pit to burn tree stumps, branches and other landscape wastes so thoroughly that there is little smoke. One condition of open burning under the proposed regulations is than a destructor "or comparable device" be used to reduce pollution. The utility spokesmen showed a film of a test using a destructor. They said the film showed that the destructor spread dangerous sparks and generated intense heat that scorched surrounding trees and Trustee budget agreed OAK HARBOR Salem township trustees were about the only people attending the public hearing of the Salem Township annual budget Thursday night at town hall.
