Urbana Unit, Teacher Assn. Talk 4 Hours URBANA Fifteen members of the Urbana Education Assn. (UEA) met. with the five members of the Urbana school board most of Saturday afternoon at the school and another meeting reportedly is scheduled for Monday night. Both sides described Saturday's executive session as a way of opening communications between the two- groups.

Warren Richart, Urbana board president, said he had no comment on what was discussed and added, "When the thing, is resolved, we'll make a statement." He apparently referred to. charges made by the UEA that communication between William Trompeter, acting superintendent, and many of the teachers has been clouded for several months by "threats and intimidation." The charges surfaced last week when the 18-member UEA went to the Iowa State Education 1 Assn. for help. The session Saturday, which Trompeter did not attend, began at 1 p.m. and ended about 5 p.m.

The board had previously rejected a request from the teacher's group that such an executive session be held without Trompeter in attendance. Also on hand at the Saturday afternoon but not attending the meeting was Keith Jensen, Mt. Vernon, ISEA district representative. Speaking for the UEA group, Jensen said the teachers felt "the meeting was productive." Trompeter will be invited to attend the Monday night meeting along with the teachers and board members who attended the Saturday meeting. 4 Drown as Wind Overturns Craft In Icy Channel PORTSMOUTH.

The Hovercraft coming from the Isle of Wright to Southsea, normally a seven minute journey, carried 26 persons. Twenty-one passengers were quickly rescued by navy divers and helicopters that. rushed to the scene.

All of the survivors had been thrown into the icy English Channel when the craft flipped over, the coast guard said. Trapped Inside The dead were found trapped inside the craft. Chief Petty Officer Roy Edwards witnessed the accident and said, "The Hovercraft was turning aound when the wind caught it and it just suddenly flipped over." He said, "it happened very quickly. Soon -I saw survivors climbing onto the bottom of the upturned Hovercraft. Edwards alerted the emergency service at the port but the sea was too rough for them to reach the survivors.

Helicopters Helicopters plucked them from the sea. A tug was sent out to bring in the Hovercraft while navy divers searched through it for other The craft was beached at Southsea, its normal port of call, and attempts were made to turn it aright.

Eckhardt's survey found that Northeastern papers were more conservative than those in the Midwest, Bagdikian said. He said that in the mid-60s he looked at 84 studies of political bias in the news.

the 84 studies of bias, 74 found pro-Republican bias in the news in papers with proRepublican editorial policies. There were seven instances of pro-Democratic bias in papers with pro-Democratic editorials. "Only in three of the 84 cases did news bias contradict the editorial position. So where political bias in the news is found it is overwhelmingly-88 percentpro-Republican and pro-conservative," he said. "One reason most publishers have felt sullen under the Agnew attacks is that they believe he's right," Bagdikian said.

"They too, think there is a radio conspiracy among their reporters. "The typical American newspaper publisher lives in agony knowing he is paying people to report social developments he doesn't like." Anti-Trust Exemption Bagdikian said the American Newspaper Publishers Assn. has succeeded in getting newspapers exempted from antitrust laws in some operations. "The Nixon-Agnew attacks on the news media are not just playing with words. They are also playing with money.

And publishers are in both the word and the money business," Bagdikian said. He said the politics of the average American newspaper are "an anachronism and meaning to most of its readers," who buy papers for a variety of reasons, including TV listings, grocery ads or comic strips. "At a time when publishers ought to be worrying about moving into the political and economic realities of the last half of the 20th century, it would be a. tragedy if. the administration were to successfully nudge them backward into the 19th," Bagdikian said.

Bron's Tones Top Adeline Performance By Les Zacheis "Somethin' a fast moving parade of feminine barbershop unreeled before an enthusiastic audience at Coe auditorium last night.

The Cedar Rapids chapter of Sweet Adelines now in their 13th year, presented a show that was a visual spectacular. Easily the star of the evening were the Bron's Tones, a quartet of southern belles from Birmingham. Certainly this group is one of the very best this critic has ever auditioned in the barbershop field. Real dolls to look at, they presented a tonal blend that was quite unprecedented. Their superb straight tone and inviable intonation combined for a magnificent blend.

Their rendition of the ballad "In the still of the night" tops anything I have ever heard in the field of barbershop. Other groups appearing were the New Trends with a nice. peppy traditional from the Royal Chords rollicking with "I'm gonna live "til I die" and for some hairy chested contrast the incomparable Vigortones. The latter's satirical "The interstates comin' thru my outhouse" provided a fine tonic to many who have lost their sense of humor over this controversial subject. The staging of a riverboat atmosphere and the fine ensemble singing of the Cedar Rhapsody chorus under the direction of Sally Eggleston was invigorating to hear and beautiful to see.

A dance line wasn't exactly the Kilgore Rangerettes but the audience received them enthusiastically. It's a colorful and tuneful show and it repeats this afternoon at 2 o'clock in Coe Auditorium. -Muskie(Continued from Page 1 1) Democratic national convention and 14 to the G.O.P. convention. All the candidates have filed pledged slates, which means their delegates must vote for them until released, but there are also favorable and uncommitted delegate candidates.

Watching from the sidelines are several contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination who bypassed New Hampshire to start their campaigns in the Florida primary, March 14, and could be heavily affected by what happens here. They include Mayor John Lindsay of New York, Gov. George Wallace of Alabama, Sens. Hubert HumIphrey of Minnesota, Henry Jackson of Washington and Rep. Shirley Chisholm of New York.

The primary is considered most critical for Muskie, McGovern and McCloskey. Muskie needs a decisive victory to confirm his frontrunning status and give him momentum for Florida and the folowing primaries; McGovern needs a solid showing to make him strong in Wisconsin despite a certain poor finish in Flordia, and McCloskey needs to run well to stay in the race. Linn Demos Hear 3 Governor Candidates (Continued from Page 1.) "We support the policy that the decision to terminate a pregnancy is a matter of conscience and 1 health, not of law. Laws are appropriate in this. area only to assure proper safeguards for such procedures.

We recommend that Iowa's abortion law be revised to acknowledge these facts." The delegates also supported a proposal for enabling legislation allowing the establishment of health maintenance organizations. The measure would allow such organizations to hire doctors on a set salary instead of paying them on a -service basis. Such an organization would be composed of persons who pay annual dues and receive medical services in 'return. Delegates voted down a proposal to support a property tax on all income producing real property with five exemptions. The action came after attempts to have exemptions on churches and related buildings and on labor union buildings removed from the proposal failed.

One delegate argued that the plank was trying to get into one paragraph what the legislature had spent days on without success. Before action on the platform started delegates heard three Democratic candidates for governor and Dick Clark who is seeking the Democratic nomination for U.S. senate. Governor candidates speaking were Paul Franzenburg, Ames; James Lynch, Redfield, and John Tapscott, Des Moines. Franzenburg repeated two points that he made at the time of his announcement last fall.

He pledged a complete reform of the state's tax structure and total reordering of priorities in the state. Detailed He said he will be announcing more detailed points of his campaign after he completes assimilating information gathered from public meetings he held around the state. Lynch said that Democrats cannot win in November by expounding on the legalization of marijuana or abortion. He also called for a simplified and equitable tax system for rich and poor' alike. Tapscott said he favored a tax levy that would be based on the ability of people to pay.

On another subject, he said, it is time to realize that, alcoholics and drug addicts are not criminals and should not be incarcerated. Also speaking before convention business' was taken up was Justin Huber. He said that he had a petition with 300 signatures on it of people who wanted to know where the cocktail party was at the Democratic presidential convention last week. "The Gazette found it, but we did not. Why were we not informed?" Huber said.

Chess Sites MOSCOW (AP) The Russian Chess Federation indicated Saturday it would agree to two sites for the world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer of the U.S. and the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky.

Huber's statements came after the announcement that sandwiches and only soft drinks were being offered for sale at the Memorial coliseum. He then produced a waste basket in the form of a beer can which he said he was passing around for a collection for the support of Clark. The remaining planks were to be discussed following caucusses of the Franzenburg and Tapscott groups. Clark Attacks Tax Structure Dick Clark, candidate for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. senate charged Saturday that "one of the greatest injustices in our country is our tax Taxation at every level of government is characterized by favoritism and Clark, 42, the only announced candidate for the senate seat now held by Republican Jack Miller, was the keynote speaker at the Linn county Democratic convention here.

He said this unfairness in taxation results in low and middle income citizens paying a disproportionate amount of their income in taxes, while "many of our wealthiest citizens pay proportionally much less. Over 1,200 millionaires paid no federal income taxes at all last year," he said. "Meanwhile, some of our elderly citizens pay as much as 40 percent of their income in taxes of one kind or another." Clark said: "Too many of our elected officials have responded to pressure from the special interests, people with money who make large campaign contributions, and this has resulted in tax codes which are riddled with loopholes "to benefit those who are least in need of assistance. The average American family paid $4,330 in taxes last year, a 77 percent increase in the last decade. State and local taxes increased in Iowa by 12 percent last year alone, yet greater and greater tax benefits are voted for our biggest tors." Clark, of Marion, former administrative assistant to Congressman John Culver, said he is Sen.

Miller's "particularly record disturbed tax about on islation. He serves on the finance. committee, which helps write the tax laws for this country. Last year he helped author and was a conferee on the so-called 'tax relief' bill which was supposedly designed to stimulate our economy. Actually, the law provided $75 billion in tax relief for big business and $14 billion for individual taxpayers.

It is now known that the average taxpay-3600 er will actually pay more in federal income taxes next year than last year." To day's budding musicians are looking for good used instruments.
