Buford Puckett, 45, Terre Haute, the truck driver, said he slowed down when he saw Phillips’ car off the road but that he could not stop when Phillips jumped into his path. Tony Lovelace died late Thursday in Methodist Hospital at Gary of multiple injuries. His-- sister, Rosemary, 6, was killed when four children were hit Monday by a careening car. The driver, Victor A. Vargis, 20, East Gary, was charged with reckless and drunk driving and homicide.

United Auto Workers Local 1151 rank and file voted, 45-27. Thursday night to accept a contract agreed upon by company and union officials at a Monday meeting attended by U.S. mediator George Hupp. The contract called for a modified swing shift and a raise in pay for hourly workers. Ronald Nelson, UAW representative, said “most of the members are satisfied with the terms of the contract.” James Wyllie, owner of Nyloncraft, said “J am very happy it is over and we intend to resume work. I feel the strike has been a terrible thing for Mishawaka 'and Indiana In general.” ’ Wyllie once said he would rattier close the plant than give in to what he considered unreasonable demands or bow to threats of violence. On Feb. 5, nearly 700 persons virtually laid siege to the plant and broke scores of windows with chunks of ice’hfid rocks. Wyllie then obtained a court injunction against further violence. The contract agreement calls for a 9-cent hourly pay increase for all workers now and another of 4% cents in six months.
