Auto Workers Turn Interest To New Pad ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (UP!) —The United Auto Workers union was expected to assure President Johnson today that it will not seek bargaining gains at this year's auto negotiations : * that would force an increase in car prices. ' The UAW convention turned ■ its attention to 1964 contract de"‘taands following Johnson’s ap"f*al to union and management officials to strive for a strikefree auto settlement that would not revive a price-wage spiral. A giant-size package of union proposals, topped by demands for more work breaks and earlier retirement for nearly 600.000 UAW members, was called up for day-long debate. The convention was asked to approve a “flexible” approach to give UAW President Walter P. Reuther more room to maa neuver in bargaining with General Motors. Chrysler and Ford starting July 1. Present agreements expire Aug. 31. A 28-page resolution on the UAW’s demands said the substantial contract gains the union will seek could come out of greater profits and productivity of the auto companies. “We state specifically that we shall not seek any economic improvement in either wages or fringe benefits that will necessitate a price increase in the industries in which we shall be bargaining,” the proposed statement said. It was reported favorably by the resolutions committee to the convention for action. This was an indirect reply to Johnson’s plea for labor-man-agement responsibility to stabilize costs and prices to protect the world standing of the Amerlean dollar “We must not choke off our needed and speedy economic expansion by a revival of the price-wage spiral,” the President said during an hour-long visit to the Convention Hall.

Charges Dismissed On College Students INDIANAPOLIS (U P D — Charges were dismissed Monday against 24 morjj college coeds and fraternity men arrested March 8 at a hotel party, raising to 34 the number freed in the case. Authorities said only four more defendan t« t remain charged and they are expected to be cleared by dismissal when their cases are called in court April 20. The charges of under-age drinking and entering the bedroom of a person of the opposite sex were filed when police were called to the Claypool Hotel to investigate a party held as the aftermath of a “State Day” observance by Phi Delta Theta fraternity chapters in Indiana. The dismissals were made on motion of City Prosecutor John McCann, who said there was insufficient evidence to prosecute. “The investigations proved that any sex charges were unwarranted,” McCann said. “The conduct of the young people may not have been exemplary for gentlemen and ladies but as far as evidence is concerned it didn’t fall within the intent of the law.” McCann said that under the law on entering the bedroom of a person of the opposite sex, convention guests who get together in a hotel room for harmless conversation could be charged. Charges were dismissed Monday against Alan Hutchings. 19, Paul Roche, 19, Charles Boyd, 19, and Martha Sweetzer. 19. all of LaPorte: Alice Ann Nehauser, 19, and Roger Lochmueller, 19.

Reagin Plans New Suit In Assembly Case INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Attorney Don Fasig today planned to file a suit seeking to force Secretary of State Charles O. Hendricks to certify State Sen. Kenneth Reagin, D-Cory, and his potential Republican opponent as candidates for the May 5 primaries in the new Clay-Owen-Sullivan County senatorial district. Fasig said Monday he planned to file the new suit today in Marion County Superior Court. He made the announcement after the Indiana Supreme Court said it would issue a writ to prohibit Clay Circuit Judge Robert Stewart from acting in an earlier suit filed by Reagin.— In the earlier suit, Reagin a asked for a judicial review of an administrative ruling by the Indiana Board of Elections which had the effect of barring him from seeking reelection. Stewart issued a stay order but the board decided to appeal. Following an informal hearing Monday, the high court indicated it would uphold the board’s decision to make holdover Sen. Dewey Annakin, DTerre Haute, the senator from the new district although he does not live in it. . Annakin was Elected in 1962 to a four-year term in a district made up of Vigo and Sullivan Counties. Under the terms of a legislative reapportionment approved by the 1963 Indiana Legislature, vetoed by Governor Welsh and revived by the high court which held Welsh waited too long, that district was wiped out and Vigo County was left with the seat held by. Sen. Jack Mankin, D-Terre Haute, whose term expires this year. At Monday’s informal hearing, Fasig maintained that Annakin should represent Vigo County for the remaining two years of his term, eliminating Mankin and making Reagin, whose term also expires, eligible for reelection. John Thomas, Republican candidate for the nomination in the new district, joined Reagin in the appearance before the high court and was to join him in the new suit. —_ Van Brown, deputy state attorney general representing the Election Board, said Stewart s stay order woyld “create chaos” if allowed to stand. He said it affected the entire state and not just Clay County.

Profiteering In Beef May Bring Probe WASHINGTON (UPD — A double - barreled investigation into alleged profiteering in the marketing of meat and poultry today appeared imminent. TTie House Agriculture Committee plans to look into charges that retail stores have not been passing along to consumers the benefits of the lowest wholesale beef prices since 1957. Rep. Alec G. Olson, D-Minn., said investigators already had found evidence of apparent profiteering in a study of Washington’s retail meat prices. The announcement oj the House inquiry came as a Senate commerce subcommittee called Federal Trade Commission (FTC) officials to testify during the second day of hearings on a bill to permit the FTC to examine alleged abuses in marketing of meat and poultry. Wholesale beef prices dropped sharply last year and are at their lowest point in seven years. The price drop has brought demands from Western cattlemen for tighter import restrictions on beef.

The Story Os Easter Hurried Burial Os Jesus In Tomb

By LOUIS CASSELS L United Press International Sometimes a man wins an im-E perishable place in history by a j simple act of human decency. Such a man was Joseph of 5 Arimathea, who buried Jesus. Mark’s gospel describes Jo-~ seph as “a respected member of£ the council.” Luke says he was 2 “a good and righteous Matthew says he was rich, and: he must have been, for he own-J ed what was a camparative lux-s ury in those days, a private 5 tomb, hewen out of rock. He had# bought it as a burial place forg himself and his family. The Romans never .bothered js with burying men who had been J crucified. They were content to, leave a corpse hanging on the J cross until the vultures came, e This practice was revolting to* devout Jews, and it was consid-g ered a pious act for a wealthy g man like Joseph to claim the 5 body of an executed offender - and give it decent burial. Perhaps Joseph had secretly admired Jesus — Matthew sug-, gests as much. Perhap? he was : just the kind of man who does ' what he thinks right, even if it* is likely to make him unpop- £ ular. In any event, as Mark re- f lates succinctly, Joseph “took, courage, and went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.” Pilate,- ever willing to curry the favor of the rich and influential, granted the request. Joseph had to move fast. It was only a short time before sundown, the start of the Jewish Sabbath on which a Pharisee , like himself could do no work, not even bury the dead. Joseph hurried to a shop and bought a clean white linen shroud. With the help of someone — John's gospel says it was another Jewish leader named Nicodemus, who had also been a secret supporter of JeSUs — Joseph took the body down from the cross, wrapped it in the shroud, and placed it in the tomb he had intended for himself. A great round stone was rolled into place to seal the entrance of the tomb. ° Matthew and the apocryphal “Gospel according to Peter” add another detail, which is not mentioned anywhere else in early Christian writings, and which some biblical scholars regard as a legendary accretion. They relate that some of the “chief priests and Pharisees” became concerned that Jesus’ disciples might steal the body from the tomb, in order to claim that Jesus had risen from the dead. These leaders went to Pilate and asked that an armed guard be placed around the tomb, and Pilate agreed. If such a guard was mounted over the tomb, it was, from the disciples’ viewpoint, entirely unnecessary. They had fled into hiding when their master was seized. Even stalwart Peter, who had worked up enough courage to eavesdrop at Jesus’ trial, took refuge in a craven denial when a maidservant spotted him as one who had associated with Jesus. PetCr and John at least remained in Jerusalem during the crucifixion. Some of the other disciples were so terrified for their own safety that they fled all the way to Galilee. It is hard to believe that these frightened men could have worked' up the nerve to steal Jesus’ body from the tomb, even if the idea had occurred to them, and it is quite certain that a furtive act of deception would not have transformed them — as they shortly were transformed — into the recklessly bold band of apostles who defied persecution and death to TURTLES MAOt OMIT • ALSO • < World Famous WHITMAN'S SAMPLERS WERTZBERGER CONFECTIONERY 144 W.

(Next: The Resurrection) Stick To Decision i On Silver Dollars s F WASHINGTON (UPD — The p House Appropriation? Commit- ; tee, which decided Friday it would be dime wise and dollar • foolish to mint -more $1 coins, : stuck to its decision today dei spite a continuing run on the “ Treasury’s supply of “cart- £ wheels.” ? “It would only aggravate the ' problem if we gave in and put up money to mint more silver dollars,” said Rep. J. Vaughan Gary, D-Va., chairman of a subcommittee that turned down a Treasury request for $675,000 - to strike 50 million new silver ' dollars. £ “This would just drive up the price of silver closer to the point where it would become worthwhile to melt down the dollars for their silver content,” Gary said. “As things stand, the value is just a small fraction more than 100 cents, so there is no incentive for this.” Gary made his comments to a reporter as the committee called up for House action a $6.2 billion appropriation to run the Treasury and Post Office Departments and White House executive offices in the 12 months starting July 1. The congressman blamed first collectors and then speculators for the rush that developed last week to buy silver dollars. At some times, hundreds of persons were lined up outside the Treasury Department, some buying silver dollars by the thousands and carting them away on hand trucks. Generally, after sorting through the coins for possibly old and rare ones worth more than sl, they returned with their hoards within 24 hours, trading back the silver for paper.
