Weather Partly cloudy, cold tonight, Saturday. Vol. 122 No. 78 Truck Stoppage Continues For 2nd Day Spor adicY iolence Reported In 2 States before a congressional committee on driver demands earlier this week. State police Lt.

Thomas Little said Sassi W'as arrested near Wilmington for carrying a loaded 32-caliber pistol. There was scattered participation in Indiana in the shutdown. Some truck stops were filled with trucks whose drivers stopped their rigs. Other stops reported business as usual. There were far more threats than outright violence, and the shooting reports were isolated.

Fewer than a half-dozen claimed shootings could even be substantiated, and no drivers were reported hit. But state police said at least two truckers were injured by flying glass in incidents involving rocks and bricks heaved through windshields, although neither driver was believed hurt seriously. Most of the violence was hitand run and involved rocks, bricks and bottles thrown on passing trucks overpasses. It was greatest on the Pennsylvania from Bedford westward to the Ohio border. Reports also were widespread of tire-gouging nails being spilled across the Various incidents were reported in Lancaster County.

State police at Bowman-sville reported five incidents of rock throwing last night, mainly between the Reading and Morgantown exits of the Turnpike. In one incident, trucker Don Mawson, 37, of Wilmington, Del. was reported slightly injured when a rock thrown from an overhead bridge came through the windshield of his truck and struck him on the chest. Mawson was treated for multiple scratches at the Ephrata Community Hospital. State police at Elphrata reported one incident early this morning.

Albert Moy, 41, of Mount Gretna, was driving on U.S. 222 when someone in an approaching vehicle threw an object at Moys truck. Moy was not injured. Meanwhile, bands of protesting truckers policed the protest by roaming the roads in cars and oickuos THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sporadic violence against truckers continued today as a work stoppage by independent drivers went into its second day. Police in Delaware arrested a protest leader for carrying a loaded pistol.

Gunfire, brick-throwing and vandalism were reported, primarily in Penn-' sylvania and Ohio where truckers last week staged massive blockades of major roads. Other states reported some truck stops have become massive parking lots for angry independent drivers who called for the shutdown to protest high fuel costs and lowered speed limits. The independents had called for all truckers to honor the two-day protest, but the Teamsters Union, which represents company truckers, refused to sanction the move. Ohio police began using airplanes and extra cars to patrol major highways after receiving numerous reports of slashed tires, shootings and nails being tossed on roads. There was noticeable but scattered support for the protest in Pennsylvania and Ohio, but police said truck traffic was about normal in most areas.

There were large groups of truckers still on the road throughout the nation. Some were traveling in groups of three and four to avoid any possible trouble. Delaware State Police arrested John Sassi, a leader of the protests, and three other men on charges of carrying a concealed weapon. Sassi, 29, of Newark, ha- testified equipped with citizens' band (CB) radios. They warned the relatively few drivers still rolling to get off the roads or face the prospect of being forced off.

If you don't shut down, we'll shut you down, one vigilante group told a working driver by CB radio in a transmission overheard by turnpike police. In New Castle, near the Ohio border, city police said they were investigating two reported shootings. In one, a bullet was fired through a cab, officers said, while in the other, a bullet penetrated a trailer. Similar incidents were reported on the Pennsylvania Turnpike near Everett and Bedford, and along U.S. 22 outside Indiana, Pa.

But at Everett and Bedford, troopers said they werent able to confirm all the incidents, largely because of difficulty distinguishing between damage inflicted by shotgun pellets and objects thrown from overpasses and hillsides. On the turnpike near Gib-sonia, meanwhile, state police said vigilante gangs were trying to box in trucks still rolling by swinging their cars in front of rigs climbing grades and slowing to a crawl. To combat that tactic, troopers said some truckers were traveling in caravans, seeking safety in numbers. In an effort to choke off the violence, some troopers took up positions on bridges spanning the turnpike, and collectors at toll booths watched for potential troublemakers among automobile occupants. Bullet Hits Rig William Lee Andes, 35, Frederick R.D.

3, reported to state police at Gettysburg that a bullet from a high-powered rifle slammed into the trailer of his tractor-trailer rig while driving north on U.S. 15, nearly a mile north of Rt. 140 about 5:45 a.m. today. Andes, who was hauling bulk feed for R.L.

Kelly and Sons, Frederick R.D. 1, told troopers the rifle apparently was fired from a wooded area on the west side of the highway. No one was injured in the incident, police said. Accidents Reported Crash Kills CountyMan Truckers Quiet At Cross Keys although incidents occurred in some places local truckers were content to just discuss their feelings among each other. (Evening Sun Photo) MOVING RIG An out-of-state tractor-trailer rig pulls away from Cross Keys Service Station Thursday noon amidst several idle truckers.

Truckers called a work slow-down and Santa Claus Listens To Childrens Wishes seemed normal but in areas around New Buffalo where traffic is usually heavy, he saw most of the stops had a much poorer business than usual. Most of the drivers want trt know how the stoppage was taking effect and if there would be a complete shutdown today. The drivers admitted it was a hard decision to make whether or not to drive. One driver pulling away said to an idle driver, You ean't pay for that truck sitting there. The reply he received was, "You sure can't make any money on the road." Most of the drivers were concerned if there any incidents such as blocking truck slops or shooting at moving rigs.

The idle truckers at Cross Keys showed more interest in the situation than bothering their working fellow truckers who were stopping there for fuel and food. The work slowdown proposed by truck drivers across the nation is having some effect locally, but just' how much is hard to determine. Twelve hours into the slowdown, which was slated to begin Wednesday midnight, there was little effect at Cross Keys Service Station, the largest local truck stop, at the intersection of Routes 30 Hnd 94. Rob Pi'tman, Gettysburg, an attendent at the station reported Thursday noon that there was only a slight slack in the number of truckers stopping for deisel fuel. Pittman reported no incidents at the station between the truckers who chose to be idle and those on the road, but there was a considerable amount of questioning between the two groups.

One driver, from Wellsboro, said rig traffic from Lancaster to Hanover daredevil motorcyclist, which performs some of the tricks the live motorcyclist does in his act. A lot of little girls have1 asked about Evil Knievel, the Santa Claus at North Hanover Mall reports. He was amused and slightly puzzled by the request, because I never heard of that. Unfortunately, the elves workshop has also been affected by the oil shortage, which has led to a shortage of polyethylene plastics used in making the motorcycle toy.

For several weeks now, theyve been climbing onto the laps of local Santas to spill out the visions of toys dancing in their heads. WHATS MOST in demand this year, according to the experts on whose laps the children have been sitting, is Evil Knevel. The toy is a plastic reproduction of the A Dover area motorist was killed today in a two car crash in W. Manchester Twp. and the driver of the other car miraculously escaped serious injury.

Township police said the headon collision of the two automobiles on the East Berlin Rd a short distance east of the Rt. 30 bypass, at 2:20 a.m., claimed the life of Lawrence 0. Baublitz, 31, Dover R.D.2, the 54th person to die in highway mishaps in York County since the first of the year. Mrs. Kathryn L.

Fourh-man, county coroner-elect, pronounced Buablitz dead at the scene and she said an autopsy disclosed severe Pheasant Absence Bring Suit An equity action to halt alleged trespassing by a neighbor on a game preserve and farm lands and to obtain $5,930 damages to date has been started in York County Court by Irvin H. Hostetter against James M. Sigafoose, both of Thomasville R. D. 1.

Hostetter claims that the pheasant harvest on his posted 288-acre preserve along Rt. 30 in Paradise Twp. has dropped 30 per cent since Sigafoose moved next to him in 1971 and that this has cost him a $5,250 loss in hunting fees. He also claims a $680 crop loss on adjacent leased farm land. Hostetter blames these losses on continuing trespass by Sigafoose and his children, who allegedly ride horses and motorcycles onto his own and leased land, totaling disrupting the tranquil, orderly environment" required by his pheasants and destroying his crops.

He also alleges trespass by the defendant's numerous dogs, resulting in flight or death of a number of pheasants and damage to crops. He claims Sigafoose has completely rejected frequent requests to resolve the dispute in a neighborly fashion. Santa to fill all the requests for Evil Knievel this Christmas. SANTA at Masons Discount Department Store has been surprised by the high demand for organs this year. In one Saturday night alone, he received requests from eight young would-be organists for an organ of their own, and seven young pianists who want pianos.

Barry A. Francis, 24, Thomasville, R.D.l, at the wheel of the other car, was treated for minor injuries. The two autos, one a 1972 coupe and the other a 1971 sedan, collided headon in a light rain and light fog. Township police said there were apparently no witnesses to the fatality.

15 about six miles south of Gettysburg. State police at Gettysburg said Edward L. Sewell, 22, of Wilmington, was traveling south on Rt. 15 at 5:45 a.m. when his car collided with the deer, which was crossing the highway from west to east.

There was no report on extent of injuries to the deer. A car owned by a Hanover driver received $100 damage Thursday at 7:50 p.m. when it was bumped by another car at the square in New Oxford. According to state police, William W. Jefferries, 66, of New Oxford R.D.

Chorus To Make Debut The Littlestown Community Chorus will make its first public appearance on Monday at 8 p.m. in the high school auditorium. They will be appearing with the high school "Swing Choir in the annual senior high Christmas Choral Concert. Also appearing in the concert will be the Senior High Girls Glee Club. The Community Chorus was formed this fall by its director, Thomas Kittinger, the high school choral director for the last five years and who was also responsible for founding the high school Swing Choir, which hafc gained much acclaim in the area since its development.

The Community Chorus was first developed as a Choral Parents Association to give the parents of the choral students an opportunity to see what type of program their children were involved in. This fall the chorus membership was opened to all citizens 18 years of age or older. It is hoped that more citizens will take an interest in the chorus and join after the holiday season is over. See CHORUS Page 6 inside The Sun added the busing prohibition as an amendment to the emergency energy bill. Proposed by Rep.

John D. Dingell, it would prohibit allocation of petroleum products for transporting children beyond the public school closest to their home. Dingell said his amendment could save more than 78 million gallons of gasoline yearly. He said it would not directly overturn court-ordered busing plans. Rep.

Bella S. Abzug, called the amendment demagogic and racist, an outburst that resulted in a rare case of a members remarks being ordered stricken from the Congressional Record. The Senate tabled a similar amendment in its action toward passage of its version of the emergency energy legislation. There must be a compromise-seeking conference to settle final terms of the bill and it appeared doubtful Dingells amendment would survive. The legislation would give the President sweeping authority to order rationing of gasoline and other scarce fuels.

It would let him draw up energy-saving plans but Congress would have the power to amend and approve or reject any such measures before they take effect. WASHINGTON (AP) In a move sponsors call energysaving and opponents term racist, the House has voted to ban allocations of scarce fuel for busing children past neighborhood schools. If approved, the ban would begin in the next school year, but an attempt to reverse it was expected today. And, it was doubtful whether the action, if upheld in the House, would pass the Senate. The energy crisis continued to boil elsewhere in the country.

The head of the Federal Energy Office, William E. Simon, said he would order reduced lighting in commercial and industrial buildings as soon as he receives congressional authority to do so. Simon, unveiling new mandatory energy conservation steps, said no decision had been made on whether to ration gasoline. A protest by American truckers continued as some independents refused to roll their rigs on the highways. Others who did not participate found themselves the target of isolated violence and vandalism.

And layoffs blamed on the fuel shortage continued. American airlines were hit again and the boating industry said the crisis has caused the temporary layoff of 10,000 workers.

President Nixon has urged a voluntary shutdown of service stations on Sundays to conserve fuel, and pending legislation would make the closures mandatory. Nixon Popularity Improves PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) More people approve of President ixon's performance in office since he began his Operation Candor, according to the Gallup Poll.
