Community Chest To Have Workshop Freeport Community Chest public information committee is sponsoring a workshop for representatives of local business, industry and public service at 4 p.m. Tuesday at the Freeport YWCA. The workshop is designed to inform the representatives as to how they can promote the 1971 Chest campaign within their company or organization. The local session is an outgrowth of the United Way contest being promoted by Rockford industrial editors. said.

The program was for junior and senior high school age youth. Employment obtained by JOB included inventory and cleaning at stores, carpenter's aide, store clerk, Neighborhood Youth Corps work, aiding a sick person, yard work, baby-sitting, window washing, pool cleaning, housekeeping, corn detasseling, moving furniture and stocking. Thirty youths did inventory work for about five to six hours at Read's Department Store. The experience worked out well, according to a Read official. The idea for the program was generated through Stephenson County Community Council For Youth, which established objectives and goals.

Funding came from the Freeport YMCA extension department, headed by Sams. Sams said that it is hoped the program will become larger and more productive next summer. The tight economic picture was a factor this year in not assisting all youths who wanted jobs, he said. Sams cited the cooperation given by the Martin Luther King Jr. Center, Salvation Army, Freeport Housing Authority, Freeport Area Church Cooperative, Mayor Mark McLeRoy, the Northwestern Community Action Agency and residents regarding the program.

FEA Backs Negotiators (Continued from Page One) been dropped and Lloyd G. Smith, board president, has agreed to seek a suspension of the salary schedule adopted Wednesday by the board.

In making the request for resumption of negotiations, Willging says there is only a narrow scope of issues to be settled and only small differences in our economic positions." Smith said this morning that he intends to call a special meeting for Thursday at noon to discuss salaries. Related Action In related action, the Illinois Education Association (IEA) has accused four persons hired as negotiators by boards of education in the state with "creating most of the strife in districts across the state." Included in the list is Fred Lifton, a Chicago attorney, who represented the Freeport board at the June 17 fact-finding hearing and Friday acted as its attorney for tho injunction attempt by the FEA. The IEA calls the four "hired guns" who are out to block "good faith negotiations" between the boards and teachers. The state association said 104 districts are still without salary settlements for the 1971-72 school year and at least 30 of them have taken "no contract, no work" votes. History Given Willging said most of the FEA meeting Sunday was taken up with a "detailed history of the negotiations process." He said any possible further action by the association would be "up to the membership what they want their leadership to do." Involved in the dispute between the board and teachers is a $7,550 base salary set by the board on Wednesday and a fact-finder's report covering salaries and other fringe benefits.

In setting the base, the board rejected the fact-finder's recommenda- tion on salaries, which called for scaled increases for some teachers. Cost Factor Willging said the FEA also is rejecting the separate base salaries for some teachers recommended by the fact- finder, but believes the board should set the salary base at a level which would cost the district the same amount of money as the fact-finder's recommendation would cost. The $7,550 base salary an increase of $150 over the $7,400 base during the 1970-71 school year will cost the district about $79,000. The fact-finder's recommendation could cost about $129,000, which would be a base of about $7,650. The exact cost of the fact-finder's recommendation for the 1971-72 school year is not yet determined.

Willging said the FEA accepts the rest of the report, which calls for FEA payroll deductions, but rejects increased differentials for some teachers, primarily coaches. It also sets down an organizational leave policy for teachers. Willging said the teachers also want a tentatively agreed upon increase in hospitalization insurance which did not go to fact-finding. He said it did not go to fact-finding because of the tentative agreement, although the board is now refusing to grant the increase. Economic Freeze Won't Help CAMBRIDGE, Mass.

Soledad Brother Buried In Illinois By MICHAEL K. ROBINSON MT. VERNON, 111. (AP) The father of slain Soledad Brother George Jackson says he is saddened by the angry mood and Black Panther strong- arm tactics at his son's burial in this country town. Lester Jackson, 50, a Pasadena, postal worker, said in an interview Sunday he will continue to press for a "Kent State-style" inquiry into the fatal shooting of his son at California's San Quentin Prison and into California penal conditions.

George Jackson was killed Aug. 21 in an abortive escape attempt at San Quentin which also claimed the lives of three guards and two other convicts. His body was flown from San Francisco to St. Louis early Sunday. There was a brief opening of the coffin at Lambert International Airport before a 10-car funeral procession set out across Southern Illinois for Mt.

Vemon where the family's burial plot is located. Midway through a eulogy by Joe Swift of Washington, D.C., a member of the National United Front, Jackson's mother broke in: "Please stop, stop preaching. My son didn't like preachers. I asked you to say a few words but I don't want preaching." Moments later, two Black Panthers pounced on news photographer Bruno Torres, of United Press International, drove him to the ground and seized his two cameras. Torres said one of the Panthers punched him in the face.

Torres, 36, of St. Louis, said the cameras were returned, slightly damaged, but not the film. No police were in evidence. About half the 60 persons at the brial gave the clenched fist salute as Jackson's casket was lowered into the grave. One good perm sale deserves another.
