Senate Bill Truckers Would Permit Park Giveaway A bill has been introduced into the Wisconsin Senate which will allow the state to deed Cushing State Memorial Park to Delafield City. The bill was co-sponsored by Sen. James of Greenfield, 28th District and Sen Roger Murphy of Waukesha, 33rd. It is now before the Senate Natural Resources Committee. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has offered to give the city about 30 acres along the Bark River.

It includes the park, several fish-rearing ponds, a fish hatchery, a dam and access on Naga wicka Lake. The Park Board will meet with DNR representatives Wednesday, Feb. 13 at 7:30 in City Hall to discuss the land. Some city officials feel there may be maintenance costs connected with it which the city may not be able to handle State Bank Held Up MILWAUKEE (AP) Police in suburban Franklin said Thursday that two gunmen escaped with about $15,000 in an af ternoon holdup at a Tri- City National Bank branch office. They said the men, who wore ski masks and carried revolvers, emptied the oney from cash drawers into a bag.

The only person in the bank during the holdup was a teller, police said. She was not harmed Consumer Will Pay Higher Costs Continued from page 1 The idea is to get ail the carriers to raise rates simultaneously. No carrier is willing to take the step independently because it would immediately become uncompetitive. Because the truckers are demanding action now (usually rate increases take a minimum of 60 to 90 days), the Interstate Commerce Commission, with the authority of recently enacted emergency legislation, has indicated it will permit the to consumers on January 30 of higher costs, as well as mandatory fuel alloca tions and stricter monitoring of fuel prices at truck stops. The problem is that these truckers are independent businessmen, akin to farmers in a way, and the suddenness of their problems caused by the energy crisis has pushed them to scramble together for unified action.

There are more than 20 associations of independent truckers of varying size, often formed to help cut costs by joint purchasing. However, the attorney representing the newly- formed Council of Independent Truckers, Len Fleet, sees a significant victory shaping up for independents, which he says will strengthen them in respect to large carriers and the powerful Teamsters Union. He told the Monitor that will represent an his toric and dramatic victory i hospital ADMITTED Erwin O. Heim, 4725 N. 161st, Brookfield; Scott B.

They often have $40,000 or more in mortgages on their rigs, and if they make payments, they are repossessed and sued for the Here is how truckers outline their problems: fuel supplies cause too many time-eating stops. Independents earn their money by making good time on the highway, and now some truckers are stopping three and four times as often as they used to, they say. Lowered speed limits cut into their time and force them to run their rigs below the most efficient speed of 60 m.p.h. costs too much. For a gallon of diesel fuel, truckers often pay 50 cents or more sometimes nearly $1.

Pennsylvania Gov.

Milton Shapp prepared to call out the National Guard to halt the violence that claimed one life in his state Thursday. In Tennessee, police re ported some 15 incidents of shots being fired at trucks. One driver suffered minor injuries. Police in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Alabama and Tennessee reported shots being fired at truckers who were ignoring calls for a shutdown. In Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.

District Court Judge Leroy J. Contie, issued a temporary restraining order on behalf of the National Steel Carriers Association against George R. Rynn, president of the Council of Independent Truckers and others. It bars them from fering with steel carrier association members and bans use of citizen band radios to further what the association called a conspiracy to interfere. The suit asked for $2.5 million damages a day.

A hearing was set for Feb. 7.

A few small firms in Ohio and West Virginia announced layoffs Thursday and some Midwest meat packing plants said they may soon feel the pinch. And in a few areas officials expressed concern that gasoline would not be delivered by independent drivers to service stations badly in need of their February allotments.
