Dr. Curtis Plott, Executive Secretary, revealed that negotiations in 148 school districts in Illinois are still unsettled. According to Dr. Plott, Illinois public school system could be facing the most serious crisis in the history of education in this state.

We have formed official Investigating Teams to find out what is blocking good- faith negotiations in the state and we intend to make our findings The IEA investigating teams will be composed of three members. Forming the teams will be a member of the IEA board of directors, a member of the IEA state committee on professional negotiations, and a member of the IEA professional staff. The teams are charged with the responsibility of interviewing teachers, administrators, school board members, and citizens, to pinpoint Tfete the obstacles to an orderly contract settlement. Dr. Plott commented, reports around the state, it appears to us that the same tactics are being used in district after district to delay negotiations.

Increasing reports of delaying tactics, hired negotiators who seem bent on impeding rather than facilitating the process, and threats and intimidation are only a few of the methods being used by boards throughout IEA investigating teams are scheduled to be in the following districts if no breakthrough occurs in the next two weeks: Rockford, Aurora (East), East Alton-Wood River, DeKalb, Barrington, St. Charles, Blue Island, Rantoul, Rock Falls, Palatine, Carpentersville, West Chicago, Roxana, Collinsville, and nearly 20 others. Dr. Plott concluded, wants to see these impasses ended before the opening of school. We are hoping that the Investigating Teams can act as catalysts to both sides and bring about good-faith negotiations that will prevent bringing turmoil to scores of districts and thousands of Belfast battles continue: 20 dead BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) Furious new gun battles erupted between guerrillas and British troops in Belfast today while street warfare came to an uneasy recess in Londonderry, Newry and other bullet- scarred cities of Northern Ireland.

The four-day death toll stood at 20 after another day of blood-letting. The latest deaths were two gunmen killed by troops. More than 100 other persons have been wounded. During the night mobs of Protestants and Roman Catholic battled each other. Rival factions of the outlawed Irish Republican Army clashed.

And troops and police fought all of them in attempts to restore der. The fury was triggered by the roundup started Monday of suspected members of the IRA and an announced policy of internment without trial. Stores and office buildings were shuttered today, their workers unable to move about the littered streets. Food shortages plagued many Belfast districts. Wholesalers refused to make food deliveries or were unable to get through barricaded streets.

In the midst of the violence, police continued questioning persons arrested in massive raids earlier. An informed source said 230 persons have been detained after questioning and are held in Crumlin Road prison and on a former submarine depot ship, HMS Mainstone, in Belfast harbor. This source said Prime Minister Brian Faulkner would sign internment orders against the majority of the detainees. In Dublin, an army spokesman said more than 2,000 Catholic refugees had fled across the border from the north and were housed in five camps opened by the Republic of Ireland. Protestant refugees from the fighting flew to England or took shelter with friends or in empty houses in quieter parts of Belfast.

Dr. Patrick Hillery, foreign minister of the Irish Republic, met for 90 minutes in London with Reginald Maudling, the acting British prime minister. Hillery was reported to have put on record his opposition to the internment policy of the Belfast government. Political sources also speculated that Hillery had demanded a meeting between the leaders of Britain, his country and the Northern Ireland regime. The British government announced in London that it was dispatching 550 more troops to reinforce the 12,000 soldiers hard pressed by the worst bloodhsed since six Protestant counties were separated from the rest, of Ireland, which is Roman Catholic, half a century ago.

Sheriff Quest continued, killer may have panicked and dumped the body at the first place he thought Today, deputies and members of the Illinois State Police detective squad plan to question employes and officials at Woodhaven Lakes, a land development corporation two miles south of Amboy, where Miss Danhaus had reportedly been employed. Stan Allen, a salesman for the Woodhaven corporation, of Amboy, reportedly had a date with Miss Danhaus the night of Aug. 2, the last confirmed time she was seen alive.

Allen told police the girl had dropped him off at his home late that evening. Wayne Chapan, also a salesman at Woodhaven, of Sublette, told Amboy Police he had received a felephone call from Miss Danhaus on Wednesday. The office is at- tempting to find out where the girl was after her disappearance Aug. 2. Keith Iverson, director of sales at Woodhaven Lakes, said Miss employment was terminated three weeks before her disappearance.

Miss car, a small blue Datsun, was found Saturday in the parking lot of Amboy Central Elementary School, about two miles away from the body.

The auto, which had small blood-stained areas about its interior, is now in Dixon City Hall garage. It has been examined for fingerprints and other clues by the crime laboratory of the Illinois Bureau of Identification. Sheriff Quest expects results of these tests soon. It was reported today Dixon Police Detective Edward Trotter helped in the first three days of the investigation. Tuesday, law enforcement officials indicated it is doubtful the attractive girl was sexually assaulted.

When her body was found, the blue jeans she was wearing were pulled down to her knees, but policemen think non-sexual reasons were responsible for this. Cause of death was determined Monday as strangulation, by a Lee County inquest. Blood found beneath the girl at the scene of discovery indicated she had been dumped in the brush along the road shortly after she was killed. Miss Danhaus lived with her parents, George E. and Dorothy Campbell Danhaus, at 218 South Mason Amboy.

Okay nursing home referendum and approve Sunday liquor sales The County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday amended the liquor code; took some action on a nursing home, and heard a discussion about loss of revenues.
