S. Government, has complained he isn't getting his Social Security checks.

Bittelman, who turned 65 last January, began serving his sentence last February in Atlanta Penitentiary. In Federal Court yesterday Bittelman-in papers seeking a declaratory judgment contends that through last September he was allowed to endorse His old age assistance checks. Of the $88.10 monthly benefits, $13.10 was deposited to Bittelman's prison account and $75 was sent to his wife. Eva. Bittelman accused Federal Prison Director John J.

Popular Coed Slain in Omaha New Violence 'Sadist' Fires 4 Times; Follows Riots in Montreal Hoodlums Take Over Protest Against Hike in Bus Fares By Associated Press MONTREAL, Dec.

10 Violence flared anew on Montreal streets early today as a gang of about 25 men and youths attempted unsuccessfully to revive last night's destructive rampage against buses and streetcars. Police moved in quickly to break up the gang after the windows of three streetcars were broken. rioting stemmed from a student demonstration called to protest a recent cent increase in streetcar and bus fares. Police said "hoodlums, thugs and vandals" took over the demonstration. Assistant Chief Inspector William Minogue said three 25 men were arrested on charges of disturbing the peace.

Parade Develops Into Riot Last night's six-hour demonstration, conceived by students as a protest parade against the fare increase, developed into wildness reminiscent of a vicious hockey riot last March 17. As was the case in the hockey riot, leather-jacketed youths were conspicuous among the troublemakers but Chief Inspector Ernest Pleau of the Montreal police said the students were not blameless. "They as much as anyone else," he said. Before it was over some 40 persons were injured, more than 100 arrested and at least $50,000 worth of damage done to property of the Montreal Transportation Commission. The commission said 172 streetcars and 64 buses were damaged.

The crowds hurled stones, sticks and bottles, smashing windows, ripping seats, tearing trolleys from power lines, and attempting to set fire to the vehicles. Service had to be discontinued for several hours because of the riots but was restored at 4 a. m. 'Whole City Goes Crazy' Police said it was impossible to estimate the number in the roving gangs, "but there were thousands." One veteran police officer said it seemed "the whole city had gone crazy. Mayor Jean Drapeau banned group demonstrations until further notice.

Police said all injuries reported were minor. One policeman was among those hurt. The planned demonstration began yesterday afternoon when nearly 2500 students marched to the steps of city hall. They carried placards and shouted slogans protesting action by the MTC last Saturday boosting fares from 10 cents to cents. The students were met by a smiling Mayor Drapeau.

Speeches were made, and the mayor promised some action on the fare increase. As the students marched away they were joined by more bitter demonstrators, and violence started. Streetcar windows were smashed, power to vehicles was disrupted, and traffic was snarled in this city of 1,021,500. Police moved in and began' making arrests. Clues Hidden in Snow DR.

LEA To assume duties Jan. 1 Meany and Sligh Tangle at Lunch Debate Follows Harmony Talks Compiled From Press Dispatches NEW YORK, Dec. 10 -two top business labor leaders had hardly finished proposing peace to each other yesterday before they ran up against several points of sharp and long-standing conflict. One was politics and another, labor tactics in organization and bargaining.

They produced a heated argument between Charles R. Sligh executive committee chairman of Association of Manufacturers, and George Meany, president of the AFL-CIO. Sligh suggested the newly merged AFL -CIO might turn into a "labor monopoly" and a "ghost government," enabling a few perpull strings behind the scenes and direct the destinies of the He added: "It is the potentials of the situpore ation which worry industry and many other thoughtful citizens as well." 'Don't Want Third Party' Sligh proposed that both business and labor refrain from any political activity. Meany, combined union organization has 16,000,000 members, replied that if deprived of political influence in national affairs, labor would be forced to form a third party. He stated: do not want a labor party, But it we can't endorse candidates because we're members of unions we will do it legally by starting a labor party." Fred Perkins, Scripps-Howard staff writer.

said that persons well acquainted with Meany believe he has too much political acumen to think that a labor party would have any chance of attaining national dominance. Occasion Is Historic The exchange between Meany and Sligh came at a luncheon in the plush ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, where the NAM is meeting.

By United Press OMAHA, Dec. 10-The body of a pretty brunette University of Omaha coed, shot four times, was found on the campus today and every available police officer went to work searching for a suspected sex killer. The girl, Carolyn Marie Nevins, 20, was a highly popular honor student who had recently won a beauty and popularity contest at a local masonic organization. Police branded the killing "sadistic." The preliminary report from an autopsy showed she was not ravished, police said.

But they said this did not rule out the possibility that sex was the primary motive. Her clothing was disarranged, and there was evidence of a struggle. Five Wounds Found autopsy showed three bullets lodged in her body. Another bullet had passed through her arm. A fifth wound, a graze mark on the other arm, was caused by one of the bullets which entered her body, instead of a fifth bullet as earlier believed.

The bullets were 32-caliber. A 32-caliber pistol was used in the slaying here Sunday night of a cab driver, but police said the bullets did not match. Police Chief Harry Green called to duty every detective in the city and every uniformed officer available.

Chains Needed in Smokies Chains were recommended for U. S.

Highway 441, across the Smokies. The road was being sanded today, but Chief Liles said the chains would still be in order. Tennessee Highway Patrol reported Asheville Highway was closed in North Carolina last night because of ice. But it was sanded early today and traffic was again permitted to move over it.

Highway 23 between Erwin and Asheville, N. was covered by three inches of snow yesterday. That section of the highway is over Spivey Mountain where icing proved an additional hazard. Trooper Crabtree said highway department workers cleared the stretch yesterday and some traffic moved over it and that he expected traffic to resume over the section later today. Speeches, Ribbon Cut Short Ceremony Opens Expressway Link a About 200 persons braved chill weather today to watch opening of the new link of the in Magnolia Avenue Expressway.

Mayor George. Dempster made what was probably the shortest speech of his career, following a still shorter speech by Victor Irions, president of North Knoxville Business Men's Club, which sponsored the dedication. Mr. Dempster who cut the customary ribbon with an uncustomary pocket knife said he wanted to "pay tribute" to the motorists who have been patient while the city's traffic channels were snarled during construction. He said there was one "cloud on the title," and that was absence of Frank Regas at the dedication.

The late Mr. Regas had for years been a in the wilderness crying for an adequate expressway for Knoxville," the mayor said. Mr. Dempster said Gov. Frank Clement told him yesterday he is anxious to get the city's northsouth expressway under construction as soon as possible.

The mayor- who leaves office Dec. 31 -said he would do everything he can, as a citizen, to push that project. City Councilmen Max The girl was shot at close range, apparently only minutes after she left her part-time job at the university library about 10 p. m. (EST).

A friend wha left the university at the a same time said she saw Carolyn sitting on a bench at the bus stop in front of the school. Convertible Races Off Police also searched for a lightcolored converticle seen racing away from the school about 1:20 a. m. Her body was found at 4:35 a. m.

Carolyn was to have met her father, Arthur J. Nevins, an insurance executive, at about 10 p. m. He said he was a little late and she was gone when he arrived at the school. He returned home and later called police when she did not arrive.

Police borrowed a mine sweep er to help find clues at the scene, especially shell casings. Snow fell steadily through the morning, hampering the search by squads of uniformed patrolmen. Police said they had nd ticular suspects in mind, but added, "'We aren't going to past up a Dance Confers With Mynatt on Service Job Mayor-elect Jack Dance was to go to Gatlinburg late today for a conference with W.
