The NLRB filed in favor of the union on Feb. 21. even though the election had been appealed by the company. Following the NLRB ruling, the Local called for a strike vote.

Although company operations were curtailed, the mine has continued to operate and more of the men have been reportedly returning to their jobs. Last Tuesday Centre County Judge R. Paul Campbell granted a preliminary injunction, following a hearing at Bellefonte, restraining the actions of the pickets and limiting their number. The mine, which started operations last summer, has a normal production of 30,000 to 35,000 tons of coal monthly. The coal is shipped by rail in unit trains to the Pennsylvania Power and Light Co.

at Yorktown. The Rushton Mine is located at Boynton in Rush Township, Centre County, a stone's throw from Moshannon Creek. It is the newest and largest mine in the Clearfield Centre counties region. Work was started to sink the slope in-the summer of 1964. The slope is 650 feet long and descends on a 16-17 degree angle to the 'A' vein, known as the "sleeping giant," 210 feet beneath the surface.

Belt Haulage is used to bring the coal to the surface where it is stockpiled for loading on the unit trains. Swarms (From Page 1) tempted Viet Cong ambushes in tne a st 18 months. At midnight Red mortar fire began to fall and within minutes an estimated 1,000 to 2,000 Viet Cong were dashing in. Some were screaming "Americans die" and swirling around the encircled units in wild assaults which the GIs later compared to an Indian attack on a Western wagon train. American warplanes streaked down by flarelight within an hour to plaster the assaulting Viet Cong with clusters of antipersonnel bombs.

There were no arrests in that incident, but at nearby New Bethlehem two men were arrested in connection with the draining of 1,700 gallons of milk. Lowell Bliss and Don Young, milk haulers serving southeastern Indiana and some Ohio counties, refused to haul milk today or at any time until the dispute is resolved.

The NFO chairman in-that area, Wendell 9th Division battle near Kien, south of Saigon, was the same thing on a smaller scale. The two fights cost the 9th Division 15 dead and 79 wounded, U.S. spokesmen reported. The heavy loss of helicopters came in Operation Junction City where U.S. infantrymen in the biggest sweep of the war are attempting- to clear out a longtime Red stronghold along the Cambodian frontier.

A strong force was sent Sunday to a landing zone which had supposedly been cleared by a 400-round artillery barrage. Settling into the zone, the chopper force came under machine-gun fire, and the Communists detonated two artillery shells which had been wired as booby traps in the middle of the zone. In the melee, three choppers were de- bullets eight soldiers were killed and nine were wounded. "Enemy casualties are unknown," the U.S. communique added.

In the central highlands, where much of the recent fighting has centered, soldiers Johnson (From Page 1) Bunker, who is replacing him in Saigon. Rusk said the emphasis in the first round of talks was on the civilian side political procqss- cs, pacification, economic matters. He said talk of military affairs was confined to a brief report. He stressed twice that, as he sees it, the government of South Vietnam is in full accord with the search for peace. McNamara said despite the new Communist offensive moves, their efforts have been unsuccessful, their morale is suffering and their losses are running 60 per cent higher than a year ago.

Westmoreland "said that in the past year, Communist losses from all causes have doubled, the number of prisoners taken has increased fourfold, defectors have doubled, their losses of weapons are two and a half times higher, and only half of their 154 maneuver battalions are fully combat effective. Johnson had indicated in advance that his main purpose at the Guam conference would be to discuss the works of peace. He told the opening session of the two-nation conference that more effective efforts are required on all fronts military, social, economic and political. Ky responded by rejecting the idea of ever admitting representatives" of the National Liberation Front--the political arm of the Viet Cong--to any coalition government that might take power in Saigon after peace" talks.

"How long can Hanoi enjoy the advantage of restricted bombing of military targets? How long can the Viet Cong be permitted to take sanctuary in Cambodia, be allowed to regroup and come back at their will? How long can the North be to infiltrate soldiers and weapons across the demarcation line?" delegation ers have expressed the opinion that-if this holding action fails, then we will sell our milk cows for butchering." Police in Madison, "Wis. investigated a warning that a tankful of milk had been poisoned Saturday with lead arsenic potato-bug killer.

The warning came on an ungrammatical post card to police. NFO members from three- Kentucky counties dumped 3,000 gallons of milk into Hartford, sewers, after first buying milk in local stores and delivering it'to needy families. Milk tanks were pierced by bullets in southwestern Wisconsin, northeastern Indiana and southwestern Michigan. No injuries were reported. Milk trucks delayed in several areas, and an angry crowd of 200 gathered during one such incident.

as Stabler, traveling east, started to pass the car ahead of him. At the same time this car also started to order to avoid a collision Stu- bier went off the left berm. His car went out of control, spun around and came back on the highway, partially "blocking one lane. Before it could be removed Mrs. Bertha Anthony, 52, of Rochester Mills R.

Wallace's was set at $35. culture and which strengthen moral standards. He noted that HB 201, which would give larger state allocations to fairs throughout Pennsylvania, in its present form would cut the $200,000 now used for agriculture research. He said the grange feels that the allocation for research should be earmarked before, rather than after, the allocations are made to the fairs. In emphasizing the need for agricultural he said that the food problem is the greatest one facing the world today.

In order to solve it, he recommended the economy of American agriculture be high enough to keep young men on farms and that an effort he made to encourage more people to go into the field of agriculture. "The trend away from agriculture is dangerous," he warned. Concerning morality in the state, the head of the State Grange expressed the hope that in acting on legislation concerning lotteries, liquor, and horse- racing, the legislators would "do nothing to lower moral standards." He also asked for favorable action to strengthen laws concerning drunken driving. In briefly outlining some of the highlights of the State Grange's legislative policy, Mr. Scott said it seeks legislation: (1) limit commissioners may appropriate for the support of the county office of Agricultural Extension Service; (2) require, in lieu of tax, payment to all governing bodies for land taken by state agencies, and (3) non-partisan election of school directors.

'It urges: (1) Continuation of the present concept of the Milk Control Law and the regulation of jug milk dairymen, and (2) the secretary of agriculture becoming a permanent, full-fledged member of the State Planning Board. It is opposed 'to: (1) Laws that authorize commissioners and authorities to condemn II, and III land -for recreational or industrial and (2) mandatory ante-mortem Inspection of slaughter animals. Of particular interest to area residents was another State Grange stand which Mr. Scott did not point out hut which was contained in the material given the dinner guests. 1 In legislation supported by the grange was the''better mainten: ance of state parks and the "deplorable neglect" of Elliott I State Park was cited as an example.

Congressman Johnson, in his talk, praised the grange and said that "if its principles pre- vailed we would have less dis- order and other problems." The congressman stated that at present there is grave concern at Washington over such problems as "programs designed for people who can, but won't work," and United States Supreme Court decisions which are affecting law and order. He noted, however, 'that the greatest problem is the war in Vietnam and in answer to a questionnaire sent to his constituents he found 67 per cent of them favor strategic bombing that could help to end the war. "The cries of 'Stop Bombing' has had a bad effect on the world," he said. Sen. Bailey told the grangers, "Your problems are my problems, too," and he stressed that he was in complete accord with their policy on gambling, liquor control, and extension of'liquor traffic.

Rep. Harrier gave a brief outline of 25 bills which he has either sponsored or co-sponsored. He also warned against a growing trend toward Socialism throughout the country as the result of the people demanding more services which must be paid for by the government. This annual legislative dinner affords an opportunity for the grangers to meet candidates in the upcoming election. Those candidates Saturday night included: On the Republican ticket: John K.

Reilly for district attorney; J. Harold McFadden, Guy Thomas and Warren Grove, for county commissioner; Carl McKee for controller; Ralph Smith and Richard Thomas, for treasurer; and Ralph Geer and Charles Heath for coroner.

Sewerage Group (From Page 1) --since discharges are being made into an acid-polluted stream. When this is determined, and following additional conferences, the five municipalities involved in the Moshannon Valley unit will be required to adopt resolutions relative to the program. They will then form an authority for financing the project. Donald Kephart, speaking for the Osceola Mills Citizens Committee, emphasized that his group did not oppose the sewerage program in itself, but doubted the wisdom of proceeding at this time until more facts are known and all possible sources of financial aid explored. Joseph Urish, a member of Osceola Mills Council, explained the various meetings which have been held and the reasons why Council has not taken further action on the project.

Philipsburg and Chester Hill councils agreed to await the state hearing and then draw plans accordingly. Rush Township indicated it was willing to follow the same procedure. South Philipsburg was not represented at the session. It was pointed out that a citation for stream violation was to have been delivered in January or February to the municipalities, but no notification had been received from the Commonwealth by any of the units. Attending the session were: Philipsfourg Mrs.

Dorothy Rickard and John Bottomley; Chester Hill J. G. Harrington, Aden Musser and Max terworth; Osceola Mills Mr. Urish and Mr. "Golemboski of Council and Mr.

Friday to midnight Sunday. Two Misconduct Cases Await Further Action WASHINGTON (AP) With its two misconduct cases temporarily simmering on back burners, Congress prepares to get out of the kitchen altogether for a 10-day Easter recess. The exodus is scheduled to come Thursday after a shortened work week which is expected to produce little final action. The Senate takes up today a supplemental appropriation bill for the defense and the Vietnam War, providing another chance for critics of President Johnson's war policies to get in a few licks. But like the first 10 weeks of the session, proposals and arguments are likely to pile up far faster than actual legislative solutions to problems.

The Senate Ethics Committee may begin considering in private the open testimony it took last week on the case of Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, who is accused of using campaign funds for private purposes. But Chairman John Slennis, says it will be weeks before his committee makes its report to the Senate. The House awaits results of Adam Clayton Powell's legal attack against his exclusion by the House.

It was learned Saturday that about 150 members have asked Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark to act with "due diligence and dispatch" on House findings of wrongdoings by Powell. Sen. Jacob K.

Javits, said the Dodd case "will perhaps give me some further light on what ought to be included in the code of ethics" for senators. The Ethics Committee is drafting such a 'code, but said he would "introduce a bill for an interim code of ethics very soon." Bills are scheduled for introduction in both Houses today which would aim at helping finance openly overseas activities of organizations found recently to be getting help from the Central Intelligence Agency. A bipartisan House group wants a publicly controlled corporation to finance activities of student groups, trade unions and educational organizations. Sen. Eugene J.

McCarthy, D- wants to establish a fund to be financed by private foundations which would lose their tax exemptions if they didn't contribute. Congressmen also have before them the reiterated argument of Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara that antimissile systems cannot be effective. He told the Senate Armed Services and Appropriations Committees in testimony made public Saturday night that despite the Soviet defense system, a U. S.

nuclear strikeback would kill 120 million people. He said the Soviets still fear a first blow by the United States and "have an absolute religious fanaticism on the subject of defense."
