The proposal was prepared at the request of the council's ward redistricting committee, which was named in 1960 but has done little Nuclear weapons probably will be stored at the Truax Air Force base soon in a "virtually foolproof" proposed half million dollar warehouse. Airport Supt. Robert Skuldt said Wednesday afternoon. Skuldt told the citizens advisory committee that the F-89 fighters T) I I ja since then while waiting for the at the base would be able to use the weapons.

The proposal would authorize the committee to draw up a plan eliminating two of the city's present wards, and equalizing the others with regard to area and population. The 2Lst and 22nd ward were created in recent years, after annexations, with Lhe understand ing that the number of wards would be reduced to 20 after the next redistricting. The populations of the city's wards range from 13,308 in (he 18th ward down to 2,990 in the 21st ward, according to official U.

S. census figures. Under the redistricting, the larger wards would be split up, while srria'ler wards primarily in the down town area would be combined. Any redistricting process will undoubtedly have political overtones to it, since two aldermen will lose their council seats, and there is always the possibility that the new ward boundaries will put two other incumbents into the same ward. The resolution noted that reapportionment is expected in the near future either by the Legisla ture or by Federal Court, acting under a recent U.S.

Supreme Court decision. It added that the city should have its redistricting plan ready in advance of the state plan, so the new Assembly districts in Madison could be set along ward lines, instead of having to fit the wards into already- drawn Assembly districts. The city's plan would then go into effect when the state's redis tricting plan became effective. The proposal also noted that it Miss Madison Contest Barbara Jean Ziehlsdorff, 2318 E. Mifflin shown here parading before the judges' table in the evening gown portion of Wednesday night's semi-finals of the Miss Madison contest, displays the poise and beauty which won her a place in the finals to be held May 10 in the East High school auditorium.

The nine other finalists are Ann P. Vider, 12 Langdon st: Judith Lynn Swanson, Elizabeth Waters hall; Trudy A. Mikell, 449 Hawthorne Esther McK Montiguire, Elizabeth Waters hall; Annette J.

Both Skuldt and Don Hovde, a committee member, who are jet pilots, said the nuclear weapons would be extremely well guarded against accidental explosion. Hovde said the nature of nuclear weapons made an accident un likely, and that the Air Force had made assurances of the weapons' safety. Air Force To Stay Skuldt said the Air Force was likely to remain at Truax for "years and years." "Most important for the future Officials To Discuss Sewer Connection City officials will meet soon with officials of Sanitary District No.

2 of the town of Fitchburg to negotiate a sewer connection to a town sanitary sewer from a presently undeveloped city area. The agreement was approved last week by the City Council. The city's interceptor will serve an addition to Meadowood between Verona rd. and Raymond and will hook into the town sewer line that serves Chalet Gardens, on Verona rd. The connection will save the city the expense of running the sewer line back along Raymond rd.

to a lift station. It will benefit the town's district by providing service to some areas now in the town. The city will pay 56 per cent of the cost of building the new line, plus an additional $3,051 for the excess capacity built into the sewer serving Chalet Gardens, in anticipation of this arrangement Club To Conduct Auto Safety Check Members of the a i n' Wheels Kustom Klub of Madison, in cooperation with the Monona village police department, will hold a public automobile safety 1 check Saturday and May 12 on Monona dr. Persons are invited to stop their cars at the check point near the Monona golf course for the free service. I Hours will be 10 a.m.

to about 4 p.m. Parts of the car to be checked will include the headlights, park-l ing lights, directional signals, tail lights, brakes, steering wheel, tires, and horn. I Members of the village police department will assist the club members in the checking of vehi-i cles. The 10-point safety check is set up by the National Safety Council. Members of the club, who help motorists with problems on the road, are a group of youth dedicated to "safety, courtesy, and appearance." be very difficult to enforce, Beloit Group Praised The commission voted to com mend the Beloit College chapter of Delta Gamma sorority for ik re cent actions upholding the princi ples of human rights, in pledging Patricia Hamilton, 21, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Harry Hamilton Sr. 910 Pontiac trail, in defiance of its national organization. The Beloit chapter was placed on probation for pledging the Mad ison Negro honor student. Miss Hamilton is a former youth mem ber of the human rights commis sion.

The commission was told that there was no factual basis for charges of racial discrimination made against a University ave bakery and grocery store. A letter to the editor published last month in both Madison papers charged that a Negro delivery man was discharged by one of the two es tablishments, at the urging of their customers. Atty. Gordon Sinykin reported that his investigation showed that the store now has a Negro delivery man, and that a Negro de livery man at the bakery quit his job after damaging the merchandise. He gave the commission a statement signed by the former delivery man to the effect that his leaving the bakery had nothing to do with the racial question.

The commission criticized the writer of the letter, Mrs. Judith Brady, 412 W. Mifflin st, for irresponsibility in making the un substantiated charges, and urged that all such matters be referred to it for investigation. The Rev. Richard Pritchard of Westminster Presbyterian Church was elected chairman of the commission, replacing Lloyd Bar- bee, who was not reappointed to the group by Mayor Henry E.

Reynolds. 2 of Madison's air field," he said "is that the board of estimates and the City Council have finally appropriated $15,000 to hire a con sultant to make a master plan of where the city aviation is eoine The ha should ive an esti. nc( a u11, tm expansion (if ing the project. We figure close to $3 million will be needed. New Terminal Stressed "There is no doubt in my mind that a new terminal, probably on the west side of the field, would be a capital improvement that will pay off.

Right now, the front door of the city, the old terminal, is a patchwork," he said. Since the term'nal building would not be included in any federal aid program for airport improvement, he said, the money for it would probably have to be voted in a referendum. "We have outgrown our space now," he said, and the city has a generous portion of land on the west side of the field that definite ly would be suitable for a termi nal. With the improvement of Packers access to the city would be good. Hovde said communities the same size as Madison, and many even smaller, have "beautiful ter minal facilities." 135,000 Passengers The field handled 135,000 pas sengers in 1961, fckuldt said, a slight decrease from 1960 be cause of a Northwest Airlines strike, but "we can figure about a six to eight per cent increase in passengers each year." The Federal Aviation Adminis tration control tower counted 000 airplane landings and take- offs in 1961, he said.

Right now, 66 scheduled landings and take-offs by the three airlines are handled daily. He said the general aviation planes, which include private, in dustry-owned, and other non- scheduled flights, accounted for 60,000 of that 138,000 figure. The military accounted for 58,000, and the scheduled airlines, 20,000. $88,000 for Clear Zones The airport will spend about 18,000 this year to acquire land around the field for "clear zones," Skuldt said. To be eligi ble for federal aid, the field must have control of land on ap proaches to runways.

Other improvements scheduled this year are paving the south auto parking lot, possibly expanding the main parking lot, and rebuilding and widening the central "taxi" strip. The strip was constructed in 1938 to handle planes of 30,000 puonds, and now handles planes with 111,000 pounds. The improvement will cost about $70,000. Skuldt said the city will have to consider a secondary airport in its long-range future plans, but right now, the Morey airport in Middleton is adequate. He said air freight, "which has a great future," didn't have the facilities here now, but such facilities would be included in the master plan.

He said the airport anticipates a profit of about $32,000 for this year. 1 'A i A BRCNER FRAUTSCHI vestigate, aiid, upou Ibcr report, could sign an order. He indicated that he could act swiftly either under a law per mitting the court to order a medical examination for a child suspected of suffering neglect or under the court's emergency power to take a child away from his parents temporarily until a doctor's opinion can be obtained.

The Bancroft dairy reduced the prices on Apr. 23 because "the price 'of milkl sold out of the stores was lowered," according to Norman Gregersen, vice-presi dent Duane Bowman, president of Bowman Dairies, said the milk prices from his company were reduced about two weeks ago "to maintain a competitive position within the market." The Borden Co.

announced Wednesday that its lowered prices went into effect Tuesday. Both the Bancroft and Bowman dairies have the same price cut for home-delivered milk. It is 5 cents a gallon; 4 cents a half-gallon; and 2 cents a quart. The actual price of the milk for the two dairies is: 79 cents a gallon for homogenized milk; 42 cents a half-gallon; and 23 cents a quart. For 2 per-cent milk the prices are: 73 cents a gallon and 38 cents a half gallon.

The price of skim milk is 37 cents a half-gallon and 20 cents a quart. The Borden dairy price reduc tion and prices of the milk is the same, except for quarts, which it has reduced 1 cent. A quart of milk is sold for 24 cents to home subscribers.

The report said that the only way to combat this situation was to appeal to the principles and intelligence of the girls involved. McGrath added that the uni-, versity committee is preparing a proposal for submission to univer sity officials, going far beyond the "1960 clause" banning fraternities and sororities whose constitutions require discrimination based on race, color, or religion. The new proposal "will prohibit any influence by alumni or any other outside person in the selec tion of (fraternity or sorority) members," McGrath said.

Freisleben was caught by sheriff's deputies Monday night breaking into Gest's garage, at Highway 19 and 51 about 3 miles north of the Madison municipal airport. Under questioning, Freisleben admitted breaking into the garage last September and stealing tools to equip his fix-it shop.

Sheriff's Capt. Earl Sorenson said. At the time of the September break-in, Paul Gest, the garage owner, reported $1,200 worth of tools stolen. Sorenson said Gest identified about $700 worth of tools found in Freisleben's shop Tuesday as part of his stolen equipment. Dist Atty.

Hater of Cats Kills Boy's Pet James Martin, 19, a University of Wisconsin student from Rt. 1, Mazomanie, admitted in Criminal and Traffic Court Tuesday that he killed a boy's pet kitten because "I n't like cats." The kitten, a pet of 7-ycar-old Steven Klein, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Klein, Mazomanie, was killed in the Kleins back yard by being hit In the head with a stone. Martin said he thought it was a stray cat, and pleaded that he would not have killed the animal if he had known it was a pet.

Officials learned of the case by an anonymous call to the Dane County Humane Society. Humane Officer Everett Geit-ner investigated and Steven's mother signed the complaint against Martin. Dist Atty. William D. Byrne told the court he believed Martin should be given a "stiff fine to impress him that he could not "indiscriminately kill animals without justification." Judge William L.
