West Section of Poor People Arrive Late in Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (AP) The poor people marched hours behind the march of time That's how late things go rolling Monday night as th Midwest segment of the Poor People's March on Washington finally trickled into the big dome-topped Civic Arena. The bus caravan, carrying an estimated 1,000 marchers, go slowed down in Ohio for one reason or another. But the 7.00C or so who waited patiently in the Arena weren't disappointed As they waited, they clappet hands and swayed and sang the rhythm of spiritual music Volunteer singers popped up on the stage to lead the signing and were warmly applauded.

And finally, going on mid night, the audience got to hear two major civil rights speakers Rev. A. D. King, brother of the slain Dr. Martin Luther King, and the Rev.

James Groppi, militant Roman Catholic priest from Milwaukee. But perhaps, the most impressive, the most emotional part of the show came by accident. A professional-sounding male Negro singer was singing "God Bless America" right when the first marchers tramped in. The group of marchers, num beting about a dozen or so, wa led by an elderly Negro man stomping vigorously down the aisle on a pair of crutches. The crowd, obviously by the music and the old man rose automatically to its fee and sent up a solid applause.

Many of the local people went to watch the povertj march appeared far from pover ty themselves. The Negro adults, for the most part, were well dressed. Some of the worn en wore furs. Many had cameras. One worn an sitting far from.the stage watched the show through field glasses.

Young people plunked down in their seats with boxes of they were going to the movies. Most of the younger people were dressed casually in slacks and sunglasses. For many, it appeared, the light waj a social outing. May two or three per cent of ths rowd was white. Cheyney Gets Mew Reforms for Students New President for More Meaningful, Productive Schooling CHEYNEY, Pa.

(AP) The new president of Cheyney State College, vowing "to make edu more meaningful and productive for every student," has set in motion reforms giving student body a strong voice in college policies. "Students have a right to par in Dr. Wade R. Wilson told a new; conference Wednesday, two days after he was named to succeet )r. Leroy B.

Allen. Dr. Allen resigned last week the aftermath of a three-day student sit-ing at college's administration building seeking improvements. Wilson, a Negro graduate of the predominantly Negro college said he would not permit Cheyney to be disrupted by similar demonstrations. "I want everyone to know here and now that Cheyey wil jroceed in a atmosphere aw an order," he said.

To initiate the college's re 'orms, Wilson said the students would have complete contro over student activities, includ ing the campus newspaper, and equal representation on at leas two key policy committees tha will revise the school's curricu lum. Library facilities at Cheyne. were high on the list studen demonstrators said should be in vestigated. Wilson said a critical repor by one of the state investigatin committees on Cheyney's librar; had been received "positively. He said library hours been extended, new books have been ordered and instructor have been told not to make group assignments on subjects where there is only one refer ence book available at the schoo library.

Library use agreements with nearby West Chester State Col lege, the University of vania and Temple Universitj are being implemented, Wilson said.

Predicts Heavy Vote SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) Despite a boycott campaign by some opposition parties, President Joa quin Balaguer predicted a heavy vote in elections today for more than 70 municipal councils. Balaguer's Reform party ex pected to win a large majority of the councils, including that ol Santo Domingo.

The capital council is now controlled by former President Juan Bosch's Revolutionary Dominican parfv, the PRO. The PRO is boycotting the elections, claiming that there is "climate of persecution inoti- 'ated by the military." i Meany Letter Suspends UAW for Lack of Dues WASHINGTON (AP) The AFL-CIO loses its biggest, richest union today when President George Meany mails a formal letter suspending Walter Reuther's United Auto Workers for refusing to pay its dues. An aide said Meany was drafting a "businesslike" letter to Reuther, who joined him in founding the giant labor federation 13 years ago. The letter will cost the AFL- CIO 1.5 million members and more than $1 million a year in dues, but the final break between the two powerful labor leaders stemmed from virtually everything except money. It capped a two-year Reuther attack on Meany's leadership as "undemocratic" and "stagnant" in AFL-CIO policies on everything from wages to water pollution.

"There's been a one-sided barrage," Meany said. But the 73-year-old former plumber, after first chafing in silence under Reuther's assault, had lately been firing back some verbal broadsides. "We have some loud-mouthed critics on our own side," Meany said recently in defending the AFL-CIO from Reuther's criticisms. "Get the American labor movement off dead center and on the march," Reuther urged, complaining the AFL-CIO should be organizing millions more workers. Meany retorted: "In January 1968, the membership was increase of 14 per cent in three and a half yeara.

Pretty good for an that is resting on dead center." Reuther had demanded "internal reform and democratization of the AFL-CIO." He said the federation "lacks the socia vision, the dynamic thrust, the crusading spirit that should characterize the progressive, modern labor movement." Meany snorted the AFLOO had been accused of failing to "display an adequate of social the hell that means." Meany defended the federation's role as "the peoplas' 'ob- by" in Congress in supporting a broad range of social legislation over the years.

Firemen pulled tons of debris from the crumpled side of the building but rescue teams were called off because of the danger of falling walls.

(AP)-One of two men charged with murder in the slaying of a Pennsylvania tourist last fall will go on trial Monday in Kent County Circuit Court in Chestertown.

Czechs Want U.S. Gesture Excess Attention Could Mean Trouble PRAGUE (AP) Some highly placed Czechoslovak Communists who stand for liberalization of the regime express hope privately for a gesture from the United States which might bolster their morale in what looks like an uphill fight against Moscow-inspired pressure. Non-Communist sources point out, however, that anything beyond a gesture might add danger to an already potentially explosive situation developing between Czechoslovakia and other members of the Communist bloc. Communist informants say the United States, without appearing to interfere in the current situation, could do two things which might help both materially and in terms of morale in a country whose economic problems present formidable barriers to liberalization. One of these, the informants say, would be to extend most-favored-nation status to Czechoslovakia in trade with the United States.

The other would be to reach an agreement in the deadlocked quarrel over $20 million worth of Czechoslovak gold impounded by the United States since World War II. American trade with Communist Czechoslovakia reached a peak in 1966, an over-all exchange figure of $65 million. The United States sold this country mostly grain, fertilizers and other agricultural products. Last year, the trade figure fell off by half. The present regime, under Alexander Dubcek, first secretary of the Communist party, has made clear it would like most- favored-nation treatment.

The policy of the U.S. administration is that an agreement should be negotiated. The administration favors similar procedures in the case of Romania, also a maverick in the European Communist camp. However, the U.S. Congress has been unwilling to act.
