(Story on Page 1) (Dispatch Photo) Quiet Decision Ends Loud SPRINGFIELD, 111. (AP) The Illinois Senate Wednesday sent to Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie a bill creating a special type of holiday to honor the late Dr. Martin Luther King, for his non-violent crusade for Civil rights.

The bill cleared the a by a 32 to 7 vote, with 30 re quired. Adoption was a victory for black legislators who had to overcome objections which de veloped because of the recent creation of Columbus Day as a legal holiday. Lawmakers said they were surprised to find they had caused schools, bands and court houses to close with the legal holiday service. Sen. Cecil Partee, D-Chicago, said the new holiday was called commemorative to distinguish it from a legal holiday.

The Jan. 15 anniversary of the birth of the late Dr. King will be be marked by special cere Debate On Shaw Mileage Dyianer tne Beginning ot a new final decision was made at a special meeting of the board, last night. Mrs. Voyles also is a teacher.

However, she will not teach in the Rock Island public schools. Mr. and Mrs. Voyles are the parents of a son and daughter. Their son, a former all-state football player, attended South east Missouri State College in Cape Girardeau, for two years before he entered the Navy.

NATO Official Says Could Hold Off Soviet Attack BRUSSELS (AP) The Pentagon's top civilian at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization says the United States and Western Europe could stand off a major conventional Soviet attack for two or three months without resorting to nuclear weapons. "The amount of time we could hold them off," Timothy W. Stanley said, "could be two or three months rather than two or three days. It would certainly be two or three weeks.

Our strength would depend on how much warning time we had to get more U.S. troops here and to mobilize European forces." This assessment differs from that of British Defense Minister Denis Healey who has been quoted as saying the Soviets could overrun Western Europe in a couple of days. Stanley was interviewed as he prepared to leave after four years as defense adviser to the U.S. NATO delegation. He will become professor of international relations at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in Washington and will be succeed-' ed here by Ralph Earle II, former deputy assistant secretary of defense.

Stanley said NATO countries spend more on defense and have more men under arms than the Soviet Union and its European allies. If the Soviets persisted in an all-out conventional attack, Stanley said, the West eventually would have to resort to the use of nuclear weapons. SALE By VINCE THOMAS Dispatch Writer The i a Metropolitan Planning Commission yesterday agreed to enter into a contract with The Jacobs Co. of Chicago to conduct a police study at a cost of about $12,000. The fees will be paid through federal and state funds made available to Scott County, Rock Island County and the Quad -Cities.

Also covered by the study will be analysis of requirements for inter communication an various emergency public safety services within the several governmental agencies and related services, including state, regional and national agencies operating in the Bi-State area. The Chicago firm also will analyze the records systems of the law enforcement agencies in the Bi State area, and recommend changes in record systems to speed the availability of data between the agencies.

B. Bergquist, South Rock Island, said the committee received a report of last month's mileage expenses from Shaw which indicated where the coroner and his deputies had traveled while on duty. The chairman said another report showing the previous two months records was also pending and $680 in claims would be paid by the committee when it received the report. The committee had refused payment of the claims because Shaw refused to list specific mileage for individual cases. Bergquist said yesterday's payment came because the report listed the mileage.

In other business the commission approved the application of Rock Island for a $6,434 federal grant for acquisition of an 8.7 acre recreation site adjacent to Sunset Park with the city paying the rest of the total estimated cost of $12,638.

Some senators who opposed the bill said it would lead to creation of scores of commem orative holidays for national or racial heroes. The Senate also put into practice a formula that senators said had been agreed upon to meet objections to what was called a century-old practice of voting a year's salary to each widow of a judge. The formula, which will be tested in the House, involves voting a year's salary or the amount of salary which would have been needed until a successor was qualified, whichever was smaller. The widow could not receive pension while receivig her late husband's salary. supply and demand," a lumber yard owner said.

"When the home building business fell off the mill owners are torcea to sell at reduced prices to meet their obligations," he said. The Quad-City businessmen said prices now are about 10 per cent higher than a year ago. One predicted that the reductions were temporary and that they would be adjusted upward somewhat, but not to the high levels in recent months. Although prices of manufactured products have fallen sharply, timber prices have continued at high levels, partly because of increasing demand for logs in the export market, particularly to Japan. Caught between low prices for manufactured goods and high prices for logs, smaller producers have little choice but to shut down operations.

Goldberg, 26, of 4106 35th Rock Island and a daughter, Terri, 7, were treated and released at Moline Public Hospital yesterday after the auto driven by Mrs. Goldberg was struck head-on.

"The prices were real high. knocked our ears off coming down," another said. "Everybody's in a squeeze and will suffer inventory losses.

We'll be selling our inventory at what we paid for it," a dealer complained. The biggest drop is in three- quarter inch plywood, down $84 per 1,000 square feet. A dealer reported a $35 reduction in costs for 1,000 square feet in quarter inch plywood and cut of $29 per 1,000 feet on dimensional lumber (2-inch boards). A builder said the lower wood costs would reduce construction costs for the average small home about $400. He doubted, however, that it would spur home-biulding.

"There's not enough money, at the high interest rates, so people can afford to build homes. "The demand for money is high and industry can pay the high interest. Lenders are more interested in serving industry for short range loans than tying up amounts for 25-30 years at lower rates on higher risk borrowers," he said.
