HOLD UP REQUESTS Pending the briefings, Council held up action on a request by Mayor Cavanagh to set up six new job classifications that will be needed when TAP gets under way. The jobs include project director at $17,000 a 'year and community aides at $1.50 an hour.

Councilman Ed Connor also complained that councilmen aren't adequately informed on the "borrowing" of personnel from various city departments to participate in planning such projects. He said this makes it difficult to judge whether a department's request for additional personnel is justified. COUNCIL SHUNNED Miss Beck said after the Council session that the Mayor's TAP Committee and Controller Richard Strichartz, who as former cpecial assistant to the Mayor co-ordinated all federal-aid programs, had failed to keep the Council abreast of their efforts. "They come in to see us only when they want approval of new jobs or new adding machines," she said. iiuy rire unier jvucnaei Ford said firemen, called to the four-room one-story frame house late Wednesday night, found evidence that oil had been poured on the living room floor.

More than eight persons have been questioned, but all were arrested on other charges. Between 35 and 40 policemen, led by Detective Lt.

Sebastian Eifred and co-ordinated by Detective Lt. Robert Grindle, are assigned to the search. Fryling, 40, a DSR driver for 17 years, was the father of three.

(Continued from Page One) But whatever caused the outburst. Some observers believe Negro leaders may pressure the President to fire Hoover.

Hoover, who talked with the the lady reporters' for some three hours on a wide range of subjects, said he called King a "notorious liar" because of a remark by King that FBI agents in Albany, failed to act on Negro complaints because the agents were Southerners. KING FIRES BACK King was not long in returning the fire. From a vacation spot in the Bahamas, he issued this statement: I cannot conceive of Mr. Hoover making a statement like this without being under extreme pressure. He was apparently faltered under the wesome burdens, complexi ties and responsibilities of his i office.

Settlement terms of the shutdown that idled more than 4,000 newspaper workers in Detroit were not announced. Asked what role he played, Reuther said: "I told you I'd do this one of these days." Reuther's entrance into the near-violent negotiations followed by 24 hours a blast at the deadlocked strike by Teamster president James R. Hoffa. CROSS LINES The fiery Teamster strongman said Wednesday if non union men were called in to man the dailies' presses, and that if the manning of the presses were the only issue, his teamsters would go through the picket line.

A late statement issued jointly by the union and management said the pressmen's bargainers "have unanimously agreed to recommend ratification of the agreement." The ratification meeting will be held Saturday. SINGLE ISSUE The agreement was reached on a final single issue, a conflict in demands by Pressmen for 16 men to man new eight-unit presses at the News and insistence by management that 15 men are sufficient. Details of the new agreement were not revealed. As they left the meeting at Solidarity House, mediators said the terms would remain secret until the Press men heard them tirst lrom their president. Freeman Frazee, at the membership meeting Saturday.

Frazee said he had not yet set a time or a place for the meeting. The surprise ending of the long strike caused the membership meeting to be moved up from Sunday to Saturday. The mediators all said they were confident that the mem bership meeting would see the terms ratified. "I am very pleased that we finally got these people to agree, vwinam nodgers, federal mediator in charge of the Detroit office of federal mediation said. "It took a lot of doiing" Asked whether both sides had "to give a little," he replied: "No comment." ACCOUNT OF STRIKE When the strike began the News and Free Press had signed contracts with 10 craft i unions plus Guild and the Newspaper the Teamsters Union.

Many of the contracts had oeen negouaieu u.u.c monins earnei. The striking unions cited three big issues premium pay for Saturday, manning of presses and paid washup time or work clothes supplied by the newspapers. Pickets took up their posts around the News and Free Press Buildings at 5 p.m. Monday, July 13, and the epic strike was on. Feelings ran high and the first talks in the days immediately after the pickets appeared soon reached an impasse.

Union officials predicted that the strike would be a long one as long as three months, but lew took their prediction seriously at the time. Then began the first of many, many efforts aimed at settlement. Here is the tortuous nath these efforts took: JULY 30 Federal and state mediators announced that they would meet Aug. 5 with the publishers and the two striking unions. AUG.

1 Both sides assail each other in a roundhouse of charges verbal and written attempting to justify their stands. AUG. 5 On the 24th day of the strike the publishers and officials of the pressmen and paper and platehandlers met at last. AUG. 7 Talks break off after only 90 minutes of the third day of negotiation.

AUG. 21 The strike is 40 days old and Mayor Cavanagh steps in to bring the parties together. After five hours of talk both parties issue bitter statements and the pressmen walk out. Management charges that even heavier demands have been made; pressmen charge that papers offer ro counterproposal. AUG.

24 Paper and plate-handlers break off talks, too. AUG. 25 Enter Gov. Romney in the 44-day-old strike, inviting union officials and publishers to meet with him in Lansing on Aug. 27.

SMALL BUSINESS "Third, of course, was the weather," MicheJon said. "But the newspaper strike and the auto strike really hurt.

Our advance sale was down $30,000 from last year. Small businesses have been our biggest supporters and they've been hurt by the strikes because their customers don't have the money to spend and in turn the businesses can't afford to buy Goodfellow tickets. "The fact that the game was televised hurt, too. But we feel there are many people who don't know what the Goodfellow Game and the newspaper sale are about. Television gave us a half hour too tell the history of the Goodfellows and their works at Christmas and also is giving us other time to promote the newspaper sale," Michel-son said.

SPEND WHAT'S NEEDED "We can afford whatever we need to spend for defense," McNamara said.

"We have increased the defense budget several billion dollars a year above the previous levels in order to add to our military strength. "But no matter what our degree of affluence, we cannot afford and we should not tolerate waste in our defense establishment. "We are providing a job guarantee to every individual affected. We are providing a service to the communities in assisting them to draw productive enterprise into the facilities presently occupied by defense," he said. McNamara angrily denied that the announcement of the defense cutback was deferred until after election day for political reasons.

"I notice this has been called cheap politics," McNamara said. "That's baloney." DECISION WILL STAND McNamara indicated he expected to hear new cries of outrage from the 33 states in which bases were located, but said his decision was irrevocable. Reaction varied, depending on how hard the affected areas were hit. At the Brooklyn Navy Yard, workers clustered around loudspeakers listening to the announcement that the yard would be closed. The workers seemed stunned, even though they had advance warning that the yard was on Mc-Namara's list.
