VINCENNES SUN-COMMERCIAL, FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1972 PAGE 7 ruce BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) The Provisional wing of the Irish Republican Army was under more pressure today to lay down its arms and give Northern Ireland a breather from violence. Roman Catholic legislators John Hume and Paddy Devlin, members of Northern Ireland's moderate Social Democratic and Labor party, urged a truce "for a day, a week, a year, it doesn't matter how long," to give British plans for restoring order in the province a chance of working. They made their plea after meeting in London for two hours Thursday with William Whitelaw, Britain's minister for Northern Ireland. They agreed to see him again Monday. Whitelaw told the British Parliament he plans to begin talks that he hopes will lay the groundwork for all-party negotiations on Northern Ireland's future.

He also renewed the British government's promise of a plebiscite on Irish unity if there is a widespread wish for such a vote. Whitelaw also proposed fall elections for Northern Ireland on the basis of proportional representation. The idea is to give the province's 500,000 Roman Catholics, outnumbered by Protestants 2-1, the share in the government that Protestant gerrymandering has denied them in the past. The Provisionals, meanwhile, claimed they conducted a referendum among the 15,000 Catholics over 16 in the Cregan and Bogside districts of Londonderry, which the Provisionals control. They said the question asked was "do you support our three-point peace plan yes or no?" and the vote as 7,750 for and 1,016 against The Provisionals three points are an end to Internment without trial for suspected IRA members, amnesty for political prisoners and the withdrawal of British troops.

The British say peace must come before the points can even be considered, Soldiers traded fire with guerrillas in Belfast and Londonderry during the night, but no casualties were reported. In Belfast, a bomb blast damaged a store, but no one was hurt. RA Asked or Short Police, Fire Log? Danny Russell, 115 W. Reel reported that his car was robbed while parked at home. Stolen was a fishing rod and reel, worth $11.

Police probed a one-car accident Friday about 8:05 a.m. on Willow Street near Sixteenth Street. Officers said a car driven by Luther A. Cordes, 23, of 817 Busseron St, veered and struck a speed marker sign, causing property loss estimated at $700. Cordes told police he lost control of his car while swatting at insects.

City firemen answered two alarms. The aid crew made a run Friday at 10:45 a.m. to Troy's Restaurant, 2222 N. Sixth when a cook, Jacqueline Cornell, 47, of 121 E. Locust slipped on a wet floor and was knocked unconscious in the fall.

Firemen gave her oxygen, and she was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Firemen were called Thursday at 7:10 p.m. to extinguish an ashpit fire burning after hours at 621 S. Seventh St. There was no loss.

"Some people think I'm crazy, but I'm not," he said. "Just planning for what finally happens. Anyway, I plan to live to be 100."

Dogs Ruin Man's Corn A visit to Good Samaritan Hospital Thursday evening proved costly to Aubrey Bottoms of 1620 Wheeler Street. While he was visiting his granddaughter, Mrs. Mary Lou Harper, a patient at the hospital, some dogs apparently ruined about three rows of corn in the Bottoms garden, located in the back yard of his home. "I left for the hospital about 6:40 p.m. and returned home at 7:30 p.m.; when I checked my garden, I found dog foot prints.

They had ruined about half of my corn," Bottoms said. "My wife and I complained to Vincennes Mayor E.H. Montgomery's office, city police and Knox County Clerk Marvin Westfall to see what could be done about it, but we got no satisfaction," Bottoms said. Bottoms, a former Security Bank maintenance worker, has been retired since 1969. Police today were investigating a burglary and a theft from a car.

The entry was at Joann's Grocery, 1018 N. 13th where some 15 cartons of cigarettes were stolen, police said. Entry was made via a rear window. Value of the loot was about (45. Police Seek Night Sniper BICKNELL Bicknell police conducted a fruitless search early this morning in the neighborhood of Hooper Field for a sniper believed to have fired a shot at a part-time city policeman.

Police Chief Thurston Arnold said his whole force was called out when special patrolman Ronald Bowling heard a shot about 2:33 am. He believed it was fired at his patrol car while he was cruising on West Tenth Street. Arnold said the police car was not hit by any bullet, and that he din't know why anyone would shoot at the officer. Bowling also reported spotting a tall, slim man, wearing dark clothing, running across the football field and carrying a rifle, the chief said. The man seen running was heading "for the boondocks," Arnold said.

He was noticed about 20 minutes after the shot was heard. Bluegrass Picnic BEAN BLOSSOM, Ind. (AP) "I guess you best describe it as rock in overdrive," says one of the thousands of pickin' and singin' buffs who have jammed this picturesque hill community this week for the fifth annual Bill Monroe Bluegrass Music Festival.

Knox (Continued From Page 1) are better drivers than I was when I started to drive," he said, and "no course will make an expert driver only experience will do that." There is a possibility that special driver ranges will be installed on the huge South Knox School parking lot, according to principal William Case.

"We have been approached by State School officials, but no definite plans have been formulated," Case said. A ruling that no student could receive more than two hours of textbook training in any one day has caused one major change in driver training at South Knox, said Case. "This ruling by state school officials has necessitated a one-hour driver training period during the regular school year," Case said. "The ruling would make it necessary for driver education students to report for 40 days of summer school instead of 10 days. The school board felt this wouldn't fit into the South Knox situation as boys are needed to work on farms during the summer," he added.

"As an alternative, we decided to incorporate driver training into a one-hour course during regular school semesters," Case said. The safety council recommends supervised practice in emergencies as one improvement needed almost everywhere. A variety of specially arranged driving courses would test such emergency maneuvers as controlled braking, off-road recovery and blowouts on curves. Virtually any type of emergency can be simulated. On a driving range, a student goes over and over a single maneuver that is troubling him until he gets it right.

Emergency reaction training can provide practice in almost any kind of emergency situation and if the same situation occurs on the highway, chances for survival are greatly enhanced, advocates of the program say. times that of last year despite tighter restrictions.
