War Fever Grows Jordan Guns Fire On Israeli Copter Carpenters, Builders Break OffWageTalks 5,000 Ready to Strike At 4:30 P. M.

Today; 4 Other Unions Already Out By CHARLES H. ALLARD Post-Gazette Staff Writer The Carpenters District Council representing 5,000 members in a nine-county area in Western Pennsylvania, broke off wage talks yesterday with the Master Builders Association and set strike action for 4:30 p. m. today. Building construction in the district was slowed down almost to a halt yesterday when nearly 4,000 members of four key craft unions stayed away from jobs after failure to reach new wage agreement with employers.

Ironworkers Extend Contract The Ironworkers Local 3 with 2,300 members extended their contract seven days beyond the Wednesday midnight expiration of their old agreement. But many of the ironworkers were unable to work on high rise structures such as No. 1 Oliver Plaza Building at Wood Street, Sixth and Liberty Avenue, because of the strike of members of Operating Engineers Local 66. Of the 6,800 members of Local 66, only 500 employed on the buildings hoisting beams and other equipment were affected by the strike. Besides the Operating Engineers, unions which struck after failing to come- to terms were the Boilermakers Local 154, Bricklayers Local 2 and Painters Local 6.

The old agreements of these unions, like those of other unions in the construction industry, ran out at midnight Wednesday, leaving members free to strike without new contracts. Fringe Benefits Big Issue Despite their strikes against the major employers, union representatives were working yesterday to sign up independent operators on agreements to meet eventual settlements in order to keep members employed. While economic terms played an important role in the bargaining, failure of unions and management to reach agreement on working conditions and other fringe issues were in a large measure responsible for breakdown in negotiations. Joseph Scnge, secretary-treasurer of the Carpenters Council said issues involving grievance, arbitration and no-strike clauses blocked agreement with (Cont'd on Page 4, Column 3) Perry's 2-Hilter Stops Pirates, 7-1 Gaylord Perry shackled Pittsburgh on two hits yesterday afternoon in Candlestick Park as San Francisco posted a 7-1 victory.

Willie Stargell got the other Buc hit. Loser Juan Pizarro was touched for two Giants' runs in the third inning. Jesus Alou's homer, Willie Mays' single and a 400-foot triple by Jim Hart did the damage. The Giants scored five more runs off reliever Pete Mikkclsen in the eighth. (Details on Sports Pages.) 2,941 American Casualties Mark Worst Week of War SAIGON, Friday, June 2 (AP)-New fighting was reported today between North Vietnamese troops and U.

S. Marines just south of the Demilitarized Zone. U. S. Headquarters said the fighting broke out yesterday four miles southwest of Con Thien.

A Marine company drew fire from troops hidden in bunkers camouflaged with grass and thick undergrowth two to five feet high. Jets Pound Red Positions The North Vietnamese troops were' said to hold high ground and could observe Marine artillery outposts at Con Thien and Camp Carroll to the south. The Marines returned the fire, then pulled off as jet fighter bombers and artillery pounded the North Vietnamese positions. Several hours later, the Marine infantrymen continued their assault. The Marines reported destroying six bunkers before pulling back again to allow fighter bombers and artillery to hit the Communist positions a second time.

There was no report on American or enemy casualties. Another company of Marines to the south was hit with 10 rounds of 60mm mortor fire last night. Eighteen Marines were wounded. Record Casualty Week In the Mekong Delta, Viet Cong rained mortars on Tan An, the capital of Long An Province 30 miles southwest of Saigon. Also hit were a South Vietnamese artillery position and two companies of government militiamen based a half mile from Tan An.

The U. S. Command said last week was the bloodiest for American forces in the war and last month was the most costly in planes downed over North Vietnam. In all, 2,216 of the enemy and 554 of the Allies perished in combat marked by particularly sharp fighting in and around the border Demilitarized Zone and in the Central Highlands.

Belvoir soldiers, erecting a flagpole at a Little League baseball park as a gesture of Army good will, were electrocuted today when the pole swayed onto a high-voltage power line. Witnesses said the soldiers, all from the Ft. Belvoir Engineer Center, were standing on wet ground and leaning in unison against the 35-foot pole to set it upright when it suddenly swerved and struck the electric wires. (One of the dead was identified as Pvt. Anthony B.

Four other soldiers, with a heavy crane, were at the other end of the field. They were not injured. Seeks Nov Revenue On Tobacco, Banks, Ulilities, Business By FRANK M. MATTHEWS Post-Gazette Harrisburo Correspondent HARRISBURG, June 1-Gov.

Ray-mond P. Shafer today urged the General Assembly to enact a delayed-action personal net income tax and proposed a hodge-podge of new and increased levies to meet the state's immediate needs. He asked that the income tax, to range up to one per cent on income taxed by the federal government, be Democratic leader Fineman calls Shafer's income tax plan a "blank check" Page 6.

1 to be applied to the taxpayer by executive edict whenever budget requirements top $1.9 billion. Strong Opposition Feared The full one per cent would produce an estimated $140 million a year and Budget Secretary Arthur Sampsof would decide exactly how much of lh one per cent should be applied. There appeared to be little likelihood that the General Assembly would sign such a blank check in advance. The hodge-podge tax package that the governor proposed for fiscal 1967-68, which begins July 1, contains proposed new levies that are bound to create strong opposition. Here is what he asked, and the amounts he estimated that they will yield: $24 million A new net income tax, at a one per cent rate, on unincorporated businesses, professions, trades and occupations.

$17.8 million A new tax on tobacco products other than cigarets. The tax rate would be equivalent to the present tax (eight cents a package) on cigarets. $66 million By adding five cents a package to the present cigaret tax of eight cents a package. $22.1 million By increasing the gross receipts tax on utilities from 14 to 20 mills. $24 million By increasing the capital stocks and franchise tax from five to six mills.

$16 million By increasing financial institution taxes such as bank shares and savings and loan assets. Those now paying eight per cent would be increased to 12 per cent, and those now paying six per cent would be increased to nine per cent. $24 million By increasing the inheritance tax on direct heirs from two per cent to five per cent. $39.5 million By increasing the corporate net income tax from six to seven per cent, retroactive to Jan. 1, 1967.

Shafer is only about half as juicy as it looks. The governor would accomplish $38.66 million of the reduction by shifting the expenditures to either authority or direct bond financing. Proposes. New Transit Authority He proposed to create a new transit authority which would absorb $26.5 million originally in his budget. Of this sum, the Port Authority of Allegheny County would receive $3 million from the authority for capital expenditures.

Another $2 million would be granted PAT from the General Fund, and still is in the budget. Still another $10 million in cuts would be accomplished by passage of the proposed Industrial Development Authorities Act, now before the General Assembly. This act, which would authorize local authorities to float tax-exempt bonds, would relieve the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority of some drain upon the general fund. To Use Conservation Bonds Conservation bonds in the amount of $500 million, approved by the voters in the May primary elections, would be utilized to absorb another $2,140,000 that was in the governor's original And Project 70, another conserva-(Cont'd on Page 6, Column 1) the double life of Ellis-Morris was revealed when his will was published.

Crisis Eyed Warily The great powers eyed the crisis warily. The U.S. aircraft carrier Intrepid, with 78 jet fighters aboard, steamed southeast through the Red Sea tonight on a voyage that threatened to raise temperatures in the crisis. Israeli leaders debated whether Israel should stand still while Egypt blockaded the Gulf of Aqaba or depend on its allies, such as the United States, to work out a solution to the crisis. Dayan's appointment could indicate the influence of those who sought action rather than waiting.

The decisions brought the Dayan-Ben-Gurion Rafi Party, the Herut and the Liberals into the government. It meant all but the Communists were represented in what amounted to a national government. In the Red Sea, two Egyptian submarines shadowed the U.S. carrier Intrepid as she sailed southeastward.
