Wagner's special mediator. The 25-member negotiating committee of the Times unit of the New York Guild said Kheel's recommendations for settling the 22-day-old strike were unacceptable. The rejection was announced eeveral hours after Kheel presented 30 pages of recommendations to management and union negotiators Wednesday night. A spokesman said there are items in the recommendations that are acceptable, but as a formula "we don't like it." There was no immediate comment by the Times.

No negotiations were scheduled today. Because of the strike, only two of the eight major newspapers of general circulation are publishing in the city.

The highway department said call the state police. The state police said it was none of their business.

'BOTANY' I just in Pilots To Get New Duties WASHINGTON CAP) Th Air Force will shift almost 1,250 bomber pilots and navigators new jobs flying transports fighter planes and reconnais sance jets, it was disclosed today.

The pilots and navigators have been operating B47 je bombers which will disappear from the U.S. air fleet by nex June. The action reflects increasing emphasis on airlift and tactica air support and the decreasing importance of the nuclear bomber in U.S. war plans. The Air Force said that over the next eight months 952 pilots and 291 navigators will be transferred from the Strategic Air Command to the Military Air Transport Service, the Tactica: Air Command and the Air Training Command.

When the B47s are all retired the United States still will have about 630 eight-jet B52 heavy bombers and 80 supersonic B58 bombers into the 1970s. In recent years, the government has put on a drive to in- cease sharply the ability to airlift troops and equipment overseas. Unnecessary Restrictions MUNDELEIN, 111. (AP) Newfangled notions like license plates and a driver's license just didn't seem necessary to drive his 1910 Model Ford argued Frank Hoyer, 85. Magistrate Thomas R.

Doran of Circuit Court disagreed. He imposed a $15 fine and laid down the law Wednesday to Hoyer, who figures he hasn't had a driver's license "for the last 10 years or so and hadn't bothered with plates since 1946 or so." Hoyer was arrested Sept. 21 in Libertyville not far from the one-room house where he lives alone. Hoyer wanted to know why all the fuss? After all, he told Doran, the car won't go over 15 miles an hour and he only uses it to go to the grocery itore five miles away. The vintage auto has a man's rown leather belt in place of a fan belt.

The $15 fine was for driving without plates. If Hoyer wishes continue driving, Doran ruled, he must pass a driver's est by Oct. 13. There was more bad news. When Hoyer appeared at the jibertyville police station ask- ng to get his car out of custody take the driver's test, he ran into another newfangled notion automobile insurance.

Even if he passes the test, said Sgt. Dale Satterfield, Hoyer can't get plates unless he shows of financial responsibility and that means getting car insurance. Hoyer's fine was paid by a riend, Marie C. Tangney of Chicago, who left the police sta- ion with him, promising to help get insurance. NEW AIDE FOR SEN.

SYCAMORE Sr, PETERSBURG PHONE 733-3044 Future Of Indonesian Reds Is Basis Oi Growing Dispute JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) President Sukarno and the leaders of Indonesia's army appeared today to be locked in dispute over the future of Indonesia's big Communist party. Sukarno told his Cabinet Wednesday he disapproves of the army's campaign against the Communist party PKI -for its alleged involvement in the abortive coup last Thursday which resulted in the slaying of six army generals. Sukarno's position was reported by First Deputy Premier Su- bandrio after the 3-hour Cabinet meeting at the president's summer palace in Bogor, 40 miles south of Jakarta. Subandrio, who is also foreign minister, said he himself believed a PKI statement Wednesday that it was not involved in the rebel movement. Leaders of the PKI appeared in public for the first time since last weekend and claimed that the party had nothing to do with the attempted coup, which it called "an internal affair of the army." Two Communist Cabinet members attended the Bogor meeting, but D.

N. Aidit, leader of Indonesia's 3 million Communists and a Cabinet minister without portfolio, was noticeably absent. The army command" began cracking down on the Communists after it crushed the Jakarta coup attempt and issued a state-of-war proclamation last Saturday. The army charged that Communist youths, disguised in uniforms, tortured and then killed the six generals, including army Chief of Staff Achmad Yani. Their mutilated bodies were found in a common grave near the Halim air base outside Ja- karta.

The army has reported arresting some 200 Comrmmisti and seizing a large number weapons. (In Kuala Lumpur, Radio Malaysia reported that the army- controlled Jakarta radio vat keeping up a steady fire of anti- Communist broadcasts, including a report that six big Moslem organizations had demanded tht arrest and execution of Communist rebel; and the banning of the PKI and its affiliates, in- eluding the big Sobsi union.)
