Under today's request, eliminated from the libel suit would be Pearson's charges relating to Dodd's use of a car loaned by a Connecticut firm and charges he accepted gifts and favors and pocketed campaign contributions for his own use.

Sonnett was scheduled to take the first of a series of depositions in the case today from James P. Boyd, a former Dodd employe who until recently worked for a House subcommittee. Subcommittee Unanimously Backs Proposal By RICIIARD K. WELL It appeared certain today that the School Committee will contract with a management consultant to make a sweeping study of the Pittsfield School Depa: The school board's three-member policy and rules subcommittee unanimously recommended la-t night that the committee hire the firm of Booz, Allen Hamilton of New York City to make a "management audit" of the department.i The firm estimates that the study will take from 10 weeks to three months. The cost will be between 811,000 and 813,000.

Favored by Majority A majority of the eight-member committee already favors hiring Booz, Allen Hamilton. Outspoken in their support of the plan are S. Rocco Scullary, John J. Quinn, and William E. Harris, the members of the subcommittee.

Also voicing favor are Mayor Del Gallo and School Committee Chairman Frank M. Pupo. A vote' ordering the study is expected on or before the School Committee's June 8 meeting. Thus, a completed study can be expected by mid-autumn. Booz, Allen Hamilton is known as one of the world's top managcment consultant firms.

It has offices in several major cities. The Pittsfield study would be conducted by consultants from a special division which works only with nonprofit organizations.

Dodd, announced today his attorney had dropped all but four of his complaints in the $5 million conspiracy and libel suit against columnists Jack Anderson and Drew Pearson. A news release from Dodd's office also said Atty. John F. Sonnett had-Folucsted the U.S.

District Court "to take measures which would insure a trial at the earliest possible date." The revised complaint against Pearson and Anderson' specifically asked that the case be assigned to a single judge in federal court "so as to expedite pre-trial proceedings" and let the case go to trial liyJuly "or as soon thereafter as possible." Restricted Claims It also would restrict the case to a single claim of conspiracy and three specific claims of libel dealing with accusations made against Dodd in connection with handling of matters relating to West Germany and Katanga. The original Dodd complaint cited 14 specific causes of action because of various charges the columnists made against the senator. In an affidavit accompanying BEDFORD, Mass. (UPI) Student patrols, similar. to military police, will prowl the streets of this fishing community soon to make sure trainees of the Fort Rodman Job Court Center behave themselves, officials said today.

Jerome Ziegler, director of the center, said no more than 25 per cent of the trainees will be permitted to go into New Bedford at any one time. He also announced a strict curfew, a beefed up guard at Rodman gates and other measures in an attempt to prevent any outbreak similar to the disturbance last weekend when trainees tossed rocks, iron pipes and other objects at police. The articles were thrown while police were trying to pre-Vent a gang fight between enrollees and local teen-agers. In announcing the curfew, Ziegler said all trainees must be back at the center by 11 p.m. on weekdays and by 12:30 a.m.

on Friday and Saturdays. Following the weekend outbreak, the City Council requested R. Sargent Shriver, director of the Office of Economic Development in Washington, to visit the center. Shriver earlier rejected a demand by city officials to close the center. (UPI) liar.

Johnson also proposed: That all candidates and all committees submitting candidates for federal office be required to report every contribution and every expense item above $100. That members of Senate and House be required to report on outside income, from such things as speeches, consultant or legal fees, or any sources other than from investments. Administration officials estimated the tax break on contributions would cost the government perhaps $50 million In a presidential election year and perhaps $20 million in other years. 36 Million Affected Officials said it was aimed largely at aboul. 36 million persons who are mostly in the lower income tax brackets.

The administration wants to make the new system effective at the start of next year and officials said they thought they had reason for hope that Congress will go along. The new law would go far beyond the present statutes by applying many provisions to state and local elections as well as to primaries. The new plan would limit to $5,000 the total financing any candidate could receive from any single source. As Johnson put it: "The present $5,000 limit could no longer be evaded by putting the maximum amount into different pockets in the same suit." Existing ceilings on total expenditures by candidates for public office would be repealed the limits are $25,000 on senatorial candidates and the 000 on House candidates. Under existing law, national political committees can raise and spend no more than $3 million in any one yearbut there is no limit on the number of such committees and the law doesn't apply to a committee active only in one state.

Second of 17 Meetings The Schenectady session was the second in a series of 17 similar grass roots meetings the eight-union team has scheduled throughout the country for officials of local unions at GE and Westinghouse plants. The last such meeting is set for June 30 set by the federal government. At the same time, GE has criticized the 3.2 per cent as being too high.

Freeman departed from his prepared speech to the grass roots meeting and fired a blast at the 3.2 per cent guidelines. "We'll pay no damn attention to them," he declared. Jennings also gave the 3.2 per cent figure the back of his hand. lie said the eight-union demands are in excess of the guideline figure but declined to state how much. Approximately 225 delegates from 13 unions in the New YorkVermont-Western Massachusetts area attended yesterday's session at the WE Local 301 hall in Schenectady.

MORTON SCHENECTADY, N.Y. The eight unions preparing a coordinated negotiating front WA General Electric Co. and Westinghouse Electric Corp. this year will not be split by the companies' old divide-and-conquer tactics, two of the union leaders said here yesterday. Paul J.

Jennings, president of the International Union of Electrical Workers (IUE), largest union in both companies, and Gordon M. Freeman, president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (MEW), also told a "grass roots" meeting, of officials from area GE local unions that the eight-union will ignore the federal government wage guidelines of 3.2 per cent. The eight unions have formed the coalition, Jennings said in a press conference, in an attempt to break away from 4 pattern of many years' standing in which GE, the pattern setter in the electrical equipment industry, has been able to "play one union against the other." New Strategy -The ICE, with approximately 80,000 GE members and more than 70 locals, is the only one of the eight unions to negotiate a national contract with GE. The other seven unions negotiate local contracts and in past have been wooed by GE into signing in the face of ICE holdouts. GE has used those signings to pressure ICE members into demanding that their union also accept the GE package.

Freeman was asked what will happen this year when GE makes an offer to the unions and one of the IBEW locals apa pears to be prepared to accept. "Tbe local IBEW union will not 'accept without contacting the IBEW president, who will contact the other unions," Fite, man said. In a prepared Speech, Freeman sounded the call of solidarity for the eight unions and said the and the other seven unions unanimously endorse the wage and benefit goals adopted at a coordinating meeting in Washington in March. These demands include a so, called "catch-up" pay hike that the unions maintain will correct wage erosion stemming from increases in the cost of living, and an annuel wage increase based on worker increases in productivity.

Reynolds has said that if a study is done, it should be conducted by education men rather than business consultants. Many committeemen had believed Supt. Reynolds is opposed to such a study, but he has repeatedly said he would welcome it, so long as it is done by educators.

Reynolds had no COMment today. The only word of opposition has come from Committeeman Thomas F. Kelly, who says that the school board was "burned" when it hired Croft Educational Services for more than $4,000 to draw up a set of policies for the school board. Croft, Kelly contends, did not provide all the services promised in its proposal. A consultant survey has long been sought by Committeeman Scullary, who has constantly recommended against the creation of any new School Department jobs until the study is completed.

Molecular Biology Said Key To Cure of Most Viral Ills WASHINGTON (AP) President Johnson signed today a bill aimed to encourage building of More railroad box cars, and used the occasionk to talk about the effects of the tax collection speedup and the possibility of an anti-inflation tax increase. He seemed to suggest his thinking runs against a tax raise right now. Johnson said the government expects to take an extra $13 billion out of the economy this year by means of more nearly current collection of income taxes and increased savings bond sales. Then he asked, in effect, if it will be necessary to seek an anti-inflation boost as well. "Maybe we should take more out," Johnson commented.

"I 'wish I knew." But the thrust of his informal remarks added up to another bit of evidence the administration is unlikely to seek higher taxes 'in the immediate future. "We are 'concerned that we don't go too far too fast," he one point.
