keeping many long-distance operators from their switchboards. The “hit-miss” picketing, popping up at 6 a. m. here today, was met by an abrupt switch in tactics by the Bell System. Picketing Not Challenged Company spokesmen said no attempt would be made to obtain restraining orders against the picketing—as was done in many other Hoosier cities—unless serv-s ice to the public is seriously | affected. The company said all service] was normal, with supervisory personnel filling in for the operators who refused to cross picket lines. Kenneth Silvers, Local 10523 CWA, challenged the “normal service” claim and said picketing would be continued here “until the strike is settled.” He said the five-man picket line, relieved every two hours, had kept 1500 Bell employees from the job. ‘Over by Tonight’ “But it will be all over. by to-! night,” Mr, Silvers said bluntly. “They're just . a few pennies] apart now and we expect a quick settlement when the bargaining) session is resumed this afternoon in New York.” Disputing the company’s claim of normal service, Mr. Silvers said it took him two hours to get a call through to New York to dis-| cuss strike settlement with top union officials. “If that’s normal service, it's pretty punk service,” he ” he grunted.

{thatethe Rose Tire Co. not be used;

ipreviously had been too high.

Mayor Clark minimized the dif-| ference in prices and told Mr, | Truitt to go ahead with any plans he already had. “We are trying to spread the, city business around so all sup‘pliers get a fair share. I think that is the best policy as long as| prices are approximately the same,” Mayor Clark said.

baseball team, admitted hitting

14-year-old Ray Callihan with the bat during an argument before the start of a game with Knoxville Fulton High. Dale ' told Sheriff

PTA Policy On Aid Faces Test Today

Insurgent Group To Seek Reversal

By DAVID WATSON . The first move to reverse State Parent-Teachers Asso-

The national PTA Congress also is supporting the ald measure embodied in the Barden Bill pending in Washington. sides, however, have expressed could be successfully made from the floor today. Seek ‘Grass Roots’ Stand But should the maneuver fail, the insurgents also will be prepared to recommend that a poll of local units be made “as soon garded by the opposition as the first step toward abolition of support to federal aid. The State PTA's board of managers Tuesday decided the aid question was not an issue before the current convention, and pigeon-holed the problem until the opponents made the first move. Yesterday's convention flared into spirited argument on a proposed by-laws amendment regarded by the opposition as the

port to federal aid. Insurgents contended their] amendment was designed to bring control of legislative policies back to the loca) units. It would have lessened the policy making power {of the board of managers.

Vetoed Amendment They asked that no legislative proposal be adopted as PTA policy unless approved by a majority of local units in the state, with failure to vote being counted as an objection to the measure in ques: | tion. Though the convention vetoed this amendment and adopted another proposed by state officers, the insurgents claimed victory in their objective. This is the reason. The new amendment also provides for a vote on legislation by local units. Its major difference is the state) organization will adopt legislation approved by a majority “of the local units which vote.
