Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF A N ADVENTUROUS chap, driving to Palm Beach via i\- little-used back roads, vows this happened. A local sheriff sirened him to a stop and thundered, “You city fellers ain’t going to drive through this community at murderous speeds. I clocked you at fifty-seven miles an hour. Don’t give me no arguments neither. Just take this pad and pencil and write what I tell you!” • * * Old Colonel Culpepper loved to tell how his little band of South Carolinians had whipped a whole Yankee regiment at the battle of Sand Run in 1864. ‘‘They had new guns, new equipment, outnumbered us four to one, whilst our uniforms were in tatters and all we had to shoot with was our worn-out old coon-huntin’ rifles. But suh,” he would conclude, “we swept them Yankees befoh us like chaff.” Unfortunately, another survivor of the battle of Sand Run turned up one day to remind Col. Culpepper, “Them Yankees was really too many for us that day, Colonel. They run us down the valley fully ten miles.” “Damnation,” grumbled the Colonel. "Another perfectly GOOD STORY RUINED BY A CONFOUNDED EYEWITNESS!” * * * QUICKIES: Heard about the two boy silk worms who pursued a sweet girl silk worm? They ended up in a tie. There’s a new wig out designed to be worn while shopping in supermarkets. It has curlers in it. C 1968, by Bennett Cerf. Distributed by King Features Syndicate.

D. Compton, head of the threeman prosecution team, said he is preparing the case against Sirhan "with the idea of seeking the death penalty under the theory of first-degree murder which includes premeditation.” Compton refused to say what evidence, if any, had been uncovered that would indicate a conspiracy was responsible for the shooting last June 5 at the Ambassador Hotel. Sirhan is scheduled to enter a

plea Friday when his preliminary hearing resumes. Defense attorney Russell E. Parsons has refused to disclose the plea to be entered by the 24-year.old Jordanian. Sirhan, charged with the murder of Kennedy and the wounding of five other persons, has four alternative pleas: Guilty, innocent, innocent by reason of insanity or a double plea of innocent and innocent by reason of insanity.

Disagreement brews between steel industry and workers By RICHARD F. FONTANA PITTSBURGH (UPI) — Can the steel industry afford a 6 per cent pay hike for the men in the mills? The industry says no. The United Steelworkers Union (USW) says yes. Unless one side changes its mind—or President Johnson intervenes as he did three years ago— the industry may be hit in two weeks with its first strike since 1959-60. The union decided Tuesday to order a strike authorization vote by its 400,000 members employed in basic steel. The vote will be held July 23, one week before the current contract expires, at local union offices throughout the United States and Canada. "Time is running out on us,” USW president I. W. Abel told a news conference after three union committees approved the vote order. "We are required to meet certain provisions and the timetable is here.” The union has never conducted a membership referendum on the question of a strike. All contract matters previously were decided by the defunct wage policy committee. In a policy paper on collective bargaining goals issued in January, the USW said it wanted sizeable wage increases, incentive pay for all workers, improved pensions and vacations, earlier retirement and streamlined grievance procedures. There has been no price tag placed on the proposals nor would Abel reveal it Tuesday. Steelworkers now earn an average hourly wage of $3.67, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The industry places its overall production cost at $4.88 per manhour. It says a 6 per cent hike would wipe out much of its profits and perhaps bankrupt some companies. Asked if he agreed with this assertion, Abel replied, "No.” Contract talks opened here June 24 and have been shrouded in secrecy, but Abel divulged that the industry has not yet made a money offer. Close five post offices next month WASHINGTON (UPI)—Eight Indiana post offices will be closed next month as part of an economy move announced by Postmaster General Marvin Watson. Nationally, 347 fourth, class post offices will be closed. Five of the eight will be closed. Five of the eight will be closed Aug. 2 at Newton Stewart, Orange County; Ora, Starke County; Pierceville, Ripley County; Uniontown, Perry County, and Canaan, Jefferson County. The other three will be closed Aug. 30—Bellmore, Parke County; Cartersburg,H e n d r i c k s County, and Liberty Mills, Wabash County. Debut HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — The late Ed Wynn’s niece, Gayle Rogers, makes her movie debut in “Live a Little. Love a Little” at MGM where she works as a receptionist.

The spokesman said the two patrols each thought the other was a band of North Korean infiltrators and opened fire as they kept watch along the Demilitarized Zone. The victim was identified as 1st Lt. Richard M. Johnson of Berkeley Springs, W.Va.
