2 The Marion Star Monday April 23, 1979 Trucker Fires On Steel-Hauler Pickets. Four pickets at a truck stop west of Voungstown were hit by buckshot early today in a confrontation with a Maryland truck driver, Austintown Township police reported. The incident was one of a series that has marked the continued work stoppage in Ohio by steelhaulers who object to the terms of a nationwide contract negotiated by the Teamsters. The Teamsters have reported reaching agreement with one industry negotiating group covering steelhauler demands. However, steelhaulers have said they plan to continue their work stoppage, which has forced cutbacks and layoffs in the steel industry, until a new agreement is signed.

Police said the Maryland driver fired a sa wed-off shotgun at pickets at the truck stop at Ohio 46 and Interstate 80. The four were treated and released at a Youngstown hospital. After the shooting, the trucker headed west on Interstate 80 but was arrested a few miles away, police reported. Police said they expected to file charges of felonious assault and illegal sion of a sa wed-off shotgun. Township trustees had declared the truck stop an emergency area and asked the operators to shut down Sunday following another disturbance involving truckers.

Officials said some trucks were barricaded at the truck stop by striking steel haulers. A confrontation was touched off when the truckers tried to free, their vehicles, authorities said. Police said they recovered several weapons from the truckers involved in the incident: They said there were no serious injuries. Township board chairman E. Ray Davis asked the area truck stops to close in an effort toavoid further confrontations, but no stations had complied.

The steel industry layoffs include 1,060 workers at Armco Inc. in Middletown, about 1,000 at Republic Steel Corp. in Cleveland, and 3,000 workers at a National Steel finishing mill in Weirton.W.Va. U.S. Steel said it did not plan any layoffs over the weekend, but the company said it would monitor the Teamster situation.

Mahnic. citing statistics of the insurance industry which fought repeal and wants the old law restored, said helmets are life savers. He said that during the six months prior to the helmet law repeal, only 10 of 185 motorcycle death victims were without helmets In the next six months.

94 of 134 victims were without them, he added. Saxbe. a cyclist himself, brushed aside Mahnic's statistics, saying, "I'm not prepared to believe any statistics they (the insurance industry put out." He said he had attempted to get figures from the state Department of Highway Safety, but was told earlier this year that the department would not have meaningful statistics until sometime this month. Last year's bill was approved over the objections of the department. Gov.

Kennedy His SEN. JOHN GLENN Compliance It Question Senate May Balk CLEVELAND AP) A man charged with sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl who allegedly was held hostage for four months in his Waukegan, 111., home has been arrested here, police say. Lawrence Dalton, 34, of Waukegan, also wanted for questioning in three slayings, was arrested Sunday night at a Cleveland hospital where he had gone complaining of stomach pains, police said. O'fficers said Waukegan authorities were en route to Cleveland toquestion Dalton. Homicide detective Arthur Taliaferro said Dalton had registered at a hotel near a downtown bus terminal, and authorities learned from a clerk there that Dalton had gone to St.

Vincent's Charity Hospital. Taliaferro said four young children who were with Dalton were taken to a local child care center. Dalton was last seen Friday with the children and an elderly woman believed to be his mother, officers said. Police said the woman was not with Dalton when he was arrested. The search for Dalton began after the decomposed body of Blanchie Penna, 23, of Racine was found Friday in Pleasant Prairie Township near Kenosha, Wis The body was found in front of a home where Dalton lived between March 1977 and February 1978, police said.

Kenosha County sheriff's police dug up the front lawn of the house after questioning Dalton's wife ana another woman. The dead woman, identifed through dental charts, had been strangled and had been missing since August 1977. officers said. Dalton was being sought on charges of rape, deviate sexual assault and indecent liberties with a 14-year-old girl from New York City who allegedly was held hostage in Dalton's home for four months. Waukegan police issued a warrant listing those charges after Karen Dalton, 25, and Barbara Filipski, 26, were arrested and charged with sexually abusing the girl.

Authorities said the women were arrested Wednesday after going to police to report the girl missing, two days after the girl allegedly escaped from a Waukegan apartment and went to authorities. Police believe three of the children found Sunday night with Dalton are his, and one is Miss Filipski's Glenn Believes SALT In Trouble WASHINGTON (AP) The loss of U.S. intelligence stations in Iran may jeopardize Senate approval of a new SALT-treaty. says Sen. John Glenn.

the Ohio Democrat, a leading supporter of an arms limitation treaty, said Sunday that he and other senators have not been convinced by Defense Secretary Harold Brown's assurances that the U.S. could verify Soviet compliance despite the loss of the monitoring posts "The Senate is not going to buy an unverifiable treaty." he said Brown, as part of an administration campaign to reassure skeptics that a SALT treaty would be verifiable, said last week that "we have a wide variety of other monitoring stations" for assuring Soviet compliance with the terms of the treaty Glenn noted that there are only three ways of monitoring compliance: through ground stations, by aircraft overflights and by satellite With the loss of the Iranian stations, Glenn said, potential ground stations would have to be located in countries upon whose good will the U.S. could not rely permanently Overflights by U-2 spy planes also would require permission from potentially hostile governments, and spy satellite capability is not yet highly developed enough to provide sufficient verification data. Glenn repeated an earlier suggestion that the SALT treaty include a provision for U.S telemetry stations within the Soviet Union which could be serviced regularly by U.S. technicians.

"I want a SALT treaty." Glenn said. "But I'm also with those 80 percent of the American people who say they don't trust the Soviets." i Glenn was interviewed on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Atkins said his remarks largely will be in response to what Porter argues and to inquiries made by the justices. A decision in the two cases is not expected until June. In a friend-of-the-court brief supporting the suits the NAACP has filed against Columbus and Dayton, the U.S. Department of Justice said desegregation plans have been implemented in 200 school districts. Consequently, more than 5 million students around the country could eventually be affected by the high court's ruling.

Those involved are hoping the court's ruling will determine just how far school systems must go to prove or disprove responsibility for segregation, and to what length courts can order massive busing plans. School officials in Columbus and Dayton have been ordered by federal courts to desegregate their districts by implementing systemwide busing policies. Busing, however, is being carried out only in Dayton. Of that system's 35,997 students 56 percent non-wh ite a total of 10.000 are being bused. The federal court ordered Columbus to reassign 42.000 pupils, with an estimated 37.000 of them scheduled to ride buses.

But the district won a postponement last August by Associate Justice William Kehnquist. About 37 percent of its 83,409 pupils are non-white. Should the high court reject the appeal, those figures would have to be revised based on several factors, including declining enrollment and the planned closing of 13 elementary schools in the tall. The Columbus school board says residential housing patterns, not school officials, are to blame for the segregation caused by the system's neighborhood school policy. If the court does not throw out the desegregation orders, the board will request that it return the case to District Court in Columbus with orders that a smaller busing plan be considered.
