These include the funds lor city employes' salarj hikes and related matters. He said the $50 million re quest lotal includes some provision for pay increases, even though in many cases pay contracts are still in negotiations such as those lor general city workers, supervisory personnel and teachers. In fact, the general city em- ployes' contract expired last March and negotiations with the city, which have bogged down, presumably cover pay for the current fiscal year as well as for the coming one.

Last month Mayor Curran and Mr. Doyle urged department heads to keep a tight rein on budget requests, but there was recognition on all sides that more will be needed to provide the services and protection required by the city. CAPITAL TAKES A DEEP BREATH Continued from Page One) Abe Fortases for an evening among old friends. The gathering will be much like evenings of decades ago when Johnson was a young congressman, Fortas a bright young lawyer. It won't be quite the same, of course.

One man is now an almost-former president. The other is a Supreme Court justice. Each has less hair and a few more lines in his face. And the Johnsons won't be taking along their own steaks, like they used to. For the Republicans, tonight will offer some receptions and parties in downtown hotels and at such places as the massive Watergate where apartments costing up to 5325,0110 are proving popular with incoming offi cials.

That's the price tag on Atty. John Mitchell's three-bedroom penthouse where he will have as neighbors several Cabinet colleagues and Richard Nixon's personal secretary. Despite the partying, it will be the newcomers' best chance to muse about the future in relative calm after a hectic week of Senate hearings and inaugural preparations and before the tempo steps up Sunday with Nixon's arrival in town. After that there'll be parties and concerts and unrestrained optimism to brighten the indifferent--and knowing walls--of such capital monuments as the Smithsonian and Constitution Hall. And then, the moment of mo ments.

Noon Monday. A New Era Richard Nixon will stand in the January chill, take the oath and turn to face the Capitol ant the throngs before it to declare --as many of the 36 presidents before him--that a nation with Jairh in God is on the threshholi of a new era demanding the sac rifices and unity of all its people. Lyndon Johnson will take qfl Jiis morning coat and boilec shirt at the home of an old friend and don the cloak of pri vate citizen. As he flies back to Texas aboard, his Jetstar, Republicans will be swirling across the ball rooms of five downtown hotels, and the polished marble floors of the Smithsonian where a waj reptica wearing Martha Wash ington's inaugural gown will lis ten impassively to the beat Duke Ellington. Martha won't be taking any deep breaths.

She's seen it alt before.

Samuel Derman, the agency's representative on the Bridge commission, is expected to outline developments in the study of a bridge from the Bridgeport area to Port Jefferson, L. 1.

A review of progress in the Planning agency's open space study, which is reportedly nearing completion, is also on the agenda.

As President-elect, Nixon ivoided anything that would eem an attempt to propel him- elf past Johnson and into the ole of national spokesman prior his inauguration.

He decided at the outset, for example, that there would be no general news conference until after Jan. 20. Nixon felt Johnson would regard that as an attempt seize in 'advance the stage of publicity. He remarked privately that Johnson vas a bit sensitive on such maters. Furthermore, Nixon was de- ermined to avoid advance commitments which might promise nore, at home or abroad, then ie could deliver once in office, le sought to make sure that the new presidency, if short on drama, would pledge only the possible.

As a result there were no pledges at all, except in most general terms. -And Nixon et down'a rule for himself and his appointees: Speak no policy until you take charge. From the evidence compilec at the Hotel Pierre, Nixon's wil a less personalized presiden cy than those of Johnson and the late John F. Kennedy. Men and Work Nixon has put his emphasis on staff men and staff work.

He assembled a team of wba he called generalists; in effect utility men equipped to fill a variety of assignments. It soon became evident that in the Nixon lineup, one man wa foremost among generalists H.R. "Bob" Haldeman, quiet crew cut, former Los Angele advertising man, veteran politi cal ally. Haldeman's title is assistan to the President, but he ha emerged as something of a chie of staff, the job he held durin the presidential campaign. He is, for example, the staf man Nixon contacts about th assignments and reports of oth er staff men.

He was on hand for virtually every key sessior on the personnel of the new ad ministration. The title of appointments sec retary has vanished in (he Nix on White House. Presumably Haldeman will be filling tha function, too, determining many instances who sees th( President and when. Thus on Tuesday, Hafdemar will be among the most impor tant men in Washington.

PRISONERS EYED ON OYSTER WORK HARTFORD, Conn, (AP) -Under a bill filed in the General Assembly Friday, inmates of several of Connecticut's correctional centers would be called upon to help bring back the state's oyster industry. State Rep. Pasquale DeBaise D-Wallingford, suggests inmates from centers in New Haven and Bridgeport be put lo work cultivating and possibly harvesting the natural oyster beds in Long Island Sound. He would use the inmates only "if there is insufficient private interest," he said.

HANOI PROPOSES SPEEDIER TALKS (Continued from Pago One) Vietnamese and the NLF then came the South Vietnamese. Ambassador Cyrus R. Vance, deputy negotiator of the U.S. team, said he would quickly present "a draft of rules on procedure" for the sessions and added: "I hope these can be adopted rapidly." The opening session was expected to discuss procedural lalters such as rules for forthcoming meetings, security' of the conference site, the official name of the conference and the order of languages to be used. Ambassador Ayerell Har- -Jman, the departing chief of ihe U.S.

delegation, said Friday le hoped these matters would be cleared up in a week or 10 days, but other diplomats said this was unlikely. About 150 onlookers, including some North Vietnamese waving their country's flag, watched the delegates arrive. Police On Hand French police were on hand in arge numbers to protect the site, and officers with walkie- alkies were on all street corners in the neighborhood. As each delegation arrived, Is cars were escorted by police and motorcycle men'to the doors of the old hotel, once Nazi leadquarters during the German occupation of World War Officials said the session was ixpected to last three or four hours. They said the four par- 'ies followed faithfully the terms of their Thursday agreement on entering the conference lall.

The Americans and South Vietnamese entered from a door on the left and the NLF and North Vietnamese from a door in the right. Opening statements were made by deputy heads of the negotiating teams. The four chief negotiators were not expected to join the talks until substantive issues are takenup, such as a cease-fire, withdrawal of troops and a political settlement. Representing South Vietnam was Nguyen Xuan Phong, the first scheduled speaker. He was to be followed by Vance.

The other side's first speaker was to be Col. Ha Van I.au, Hanoi's No. 2 man, followed by Mrs. Nguyen Thi Binh, deputy of the NLF team. Lau and Mrs.

Binh arrived with their staffs seven minutes before scheduled starting time. They were greeted with applause from the small group ol North Vietnamese spectators. No Cheers There were ho cheers for the Americans or the South Vietnamese. A compromise on a symbolic issue--the shape of the table at which the talks are being conducted--broke a 10-week impasse between North Vietnam and the United States anc brought about the first forma: discussion of peace in Southeast Asia since the 1962 Geneva Conference on Laos. U.S.

spokesmen said the com promise was a victory for no one except good sense. They said it permifs the Americans and their South Vietnamese al lies to describe the meeting as. one of "two sides," and at the same time allows North Vietnam and the NLF its view of "four sides." Some diplomats felt the immi nent transfer of power in Washington explained the conciliation in the table argument, but a top Soviet official claimed the Kremlin had a scenes role in the compromise President Johnson's envoys, worked against a Jan. 20 deadline to start the mechanics peace as a fitting climax to Johnson's decision halting the U.S. bombing of North Vietnam Under Deadline ffanoi and the NLF also were operating under this deadline.

Parker, who received head in tries, was taken to Stamford hospital and was reported in fair condition by attendants.

State Trooper Richard Brozek charged Parker with failure to drive in an established lane. TRICKS' RELATED BY AUCTIONEER The tricks of the auctioneering trade were explained last night by Fairfield county auctioneer William Josko. Highlighting his talk with humorous anecdotes of his own career Mr. Josko described his methods of making an auction successful. The versatile speaker, whose interest in the profession began 44 years ago, spoke at a meeting of members of the Southport Congregational church.

Mr. Josko is a graduate of American International college is and Boston university where he received a bachelor's degree and master's degree, both in business administration. He has been a college teacher and was the founder of a Santa Claus college. With the help of a home study course and practice, Mr. Josko di became a professional auctioneer.

He auctions off estates and handles bankruptcy auctions. An auction, Mr. Josko said, can take place when there are "Two people who want something." He went on to explain how he attempts to creat higher bids for an item, by interjecting humor into his profession and by judging the bidders reaction to the items for sale. At an auction Mr. Josko said, he can tell just what each individual might bid for a given item.

After judging the bidder's attitude Mr. Josko may put for hid an inexpensive item to get bidding started arid work his way up to more expensive items. Or he may do the reverse. President-elect Nixon to peacemaking process in vance of the U.S. power transfer, these sources said.

REGISTERS AS POLICE LOBBYIST HARTFORD John C. Kelly of Ridgefield, retired state police commissioner and a former state representative, has registered as a lobbyist for the State Police association. Another former legislator registered as a lobbyist is William F. Ablondi of Seymour, representing (he Seymour Water company. He is a former state senator.

Lobbyists are filing at a faster rate than during any previous icssion of the legislature, according to figures compiled by the secretary of state's office A total of 84 had filed by yesterday and paid the $5 reg- stration fee. On the same date during the last session, only 54 lad registered. Before the last session ended a total of 385 lobbyists had filed vith the secretary of state. 'Feeder' a Key Person An important person at the auction, Mr.Josko said, is the "feeder." This is the person who hands the items to the auctioneer. Mr.

Josko said that person mus! know the mood of the bidders and then select an item for bids. Before the auction begins, the auctioneer must set up all the items, have clerks and bookkeepers and an important item, Mr. Josko said an arrangement for caterers. "You can't sell when there are empty stomachs." Knowledge Needed An important qualification, Mr. Josko feels that an auctioneer must have is knowledge of the value of the items he is selling.

He illustrated by citing an auc tioneer who was not aware of the value of china plates he was selling and termed them "stuff" and sold them at a low rate. The plates were in reality quite valuable. Mr. Josko went on to describe the different types of auctioneers. The first he described was the "protective" auctioneer who begins the selling of an item, by saying there had already been a bid on it.

Th "bleeder" is an auctioneer who tries extra hard to get just "another 25 cents" from his bidders. Flam Mr. Josko also described the "flim flam" artist who will travel from one area lo another selling the same items over and over again, sometimes claiming they belong to famous people. Mr. Josko also reported that there is no licensing requirement in this state to become an auctioneer, although he would like to see this a reality.

The only requirement of the auctioneer is to abide by area permit rules regarding the fees required to hold an auction. NURSING HOME HEADS MAY FACE LICENSING HARTFORD Nursing home administrators will need a special license to hold their job under a bill proposed by (he Con necticut Association of Non- Profit Homes and Hospitals for the Aged. The bill, to be introduced by Sen. Pasquale Barbato, D-Hamden, would establish a new board of examiners to license the administrators. A July 1970 effective date is on the measure, which speels out the requirements of the license.

To qualify, an applicant would have to be over 21, have one year's administrative experience and pass a training course and written exam of the licensing board. The license would be good for two years and would require that the holder attend courses each year to keep it. By 1976, trainees applying would have to have a bachelor's degree. Present administrators would lave until mid-1972 to meet the license requirements. The sponsoring group has 37 members with about 2,000 beds the state in non-profit homes.

U. S. FILES SUIT AGAINST IBM Continued from Page One) marketing practices which prevent "competing manufacturers of general purpose digital computers from having an adequate opportunity effectively to compete for business." Damage Suit Filed The suit followed by two weeks a $1 billion damage suit filed against IBM by Data Processing Financial General which was based on alleged antitrust law violations. Data Processing claimed IBM's practices had prevented it from attaining higher profits. Last December Control Data also filed a civil antitrust suit against IBM asking the courts to consider breaking up the firm which netted a record $871 million last year.

The Justice Department suit, said to be the largest monopoly action filed during the Johnson administration, was ordered by Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark. Heads Defense Nicholas Katzenbach, outgoing undersecretary of state and former attorney general, is expected to lead IBM's defense against the charges as he is about to become the firm's general counsel. Among the practices complained of in the suit were: IBM quotes a single price for a computer system, programming know-how and related support--a practice the suit said discriminates among customers and limits development of computer programming and support industries.

The firm introduced new models of computers, the suit said, "with unusually low profit expectations, in those segments of the market where competitors had appeared likely to have unusual competitive success." The company was said to have announced "future production of new models for such markets when it knew that it was unlikely to be able to com plete production within the announced time." The suit said finally that IBM dominated the educational market for general purpose digital computers by granting exceptional discriminatory allowances to universities and other educational institutions. Holds Discussions An IBM statement said the firm has been engaged, along with other computer companies, in discussions with the. Justice Department for three years. The statement continued: "One of the key issues in these discussions has been whether there is sufficient competition in the data processing industry or whether IBM has such monopolistic power that fully effective competition does not exist. "Evidence of the open and strongly competitive nature of the computer industry is abundant.

Virtually nonexistent 20 years ago, it has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry that has attracted more than 60 manufacturers of computer sys terns and some 4,000 companies dealing in related equipment, support and services.

Sleeves of West Hartford, CEA president, explained the board's action this way: "The current deficit of the state of Connecticut and the continuing demands for action programs in education, in welfare, in urban affairs and in government" demand fiscal solvency. 5MAUW SATURDAY: "Sister Is keeping all her love letters.

He says, "Christo succeeds in parodying all the usual associations with a museum: a mausoleum, a repository of precious contents, a desire to wrap up all of art history." Living Artists The Museum of Contemporary Art, which commissioned the packaging, is unlike most museums in that it has no permanent collection. It features changing exhibitions by living artists and stages events in which the viewer may participate.

Why does Christo wrap Improbable things? "I like to do that," he told an interviewer. "I think it is very beautiful." In contrast to studio painting, his packages are not "make be- lieve'' art--they make reality of space, he says. The packaging of the museum was begun Monday and required 11,000 square feet of tarpaulin and 10,000 feet of manila rope. The building, made of white-painted brick, is 94 by 103 by 24 feet. Christo also packaged the museum's basement gallery with off-white tarpaulin, as well as the starway leading down to it.

Upstairs he has packaged in plastic a tree lying on its side, and the museum's vertical free-standing sign also is packaged in plastic. Visitors Welcome The wraps will stay on until March 2. Meanwhile, visitors may enter the museum through a door-size opening on one side. Previously, Christo draped the Bern Kunsthalle--art gallery--in Switzerland in polyethylene. And he wrapped a church facade, a fountain and a medieval tower for the Spoleto Festival in Italy last summer.

At the Kassel Documenta in Germany last summer he wrapped a 280-foot-high column of air. Now he would like to package a New York skyscraper. MILFORD PI LOT FILES WORK SUIT NEW HAVEN Capt. Joseph MacDonald of Milford testified Thursday that he is being denied work in New Haven harbor because of a conspiracy against him by the city's only tugboat line. Capt.

MacDonald said he was told by an official of the Red Star Towing company that the four present harbor pilots would boycott the company if he were hired. In a Superior court suit filed in 1967, Capt. MacDonald claimed he had won a state license to pilot ships in and out of Connecticut waters and was being denied work by the tugboat line. He accused Red Star of favoritism to the four existing pilots. Capt.

MacDonald is seeking temporary and permanent injunctions to halt the alleged deprivation, an order to revoke the pilots' licenses of the four men and 540,000 in compensation. Named as defendants in the case are the Red Star Towing Company and the four pilots- Dominic Lucibello of Hamden; William Hancourt ot Avon- Escar Ericson of West Haven and Charles E. Quarry of East Lyme. When Capt. MacDonald was granted his harbor pilot's license in August 1967, it was the first one granted since 1952.

Granting of the license was fought in court by the other four harbor pilots on the ground that there was no need for a new pilot. Over 70 per cent of the citizens of Toledo, Ohio, own their own homes. OPENlUNDAY the BIRDS LOWER SEED 50 Ibs. $5.99 Reg. $11 25 Reg.
