CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Kim

BLUE POINT, New York — If Ronald Reagan was looking
establish a reputation as a vote puller, he should have picked some
place other than New York’s Suffolk County.
Reagan went out of his way to endorse incumbent County Executive
John V. N. Klein for the nomination in the Republican primary,
But the voters in Suffolk, which includes the Hamptons — the
summer playground of the jet set — apparently were more concerned
with a local sewer scandal in Klein’s administration than a R<
endorsement.
They voted Tuesday for challenger Peter Cohalan, the supervisorof
Islip Town, by more than a 2 to 1 margin.
FRANKLIN, Idaho — The toxic chemical PCB has been discovered
in chickens at one of Idaho’s largest poultry farms, forcing the destine

tion.
The FDA said the contamination apparently began in late Julyandas
many as 13 million eggs hatched since then may have been sold inf®

Dr. Joseph Street, a professor of toxicology from Utah State Univer

Diamond- Shamrock:
;inning of the end
GOOD PRICES
Begins September 14
United Press International
CLEVELAND — A copyright ar
ticle Wednesday said the 1967
merger of Diamond Alkali with
Texas-based Shamrock Oil and Gas
was perceived as the beginning of
the end by many workers at the orig
inal Diamond Shamrock plant in
nearby Paine sville.
“There seemed to be a changed
attitude,” The Cleveland Press
quoted union President Julius
Majoros as saying. “They were driv
ing the men harder.
“They went after them more on
cleanup time, then absenteeism.
Then they’d give them more over
time rather than hire more people. ”
Delbert Lintala, a Diamond
worker who is now mayor of Fairport
Harbor adjacent to the old Paines-
ville Works, said the company lost its
hometown feeling after the merger
and company oldtimers no longer
called the shots.

The Painesville Works shut down
in 1976, eliminating 1,100 jobs. In
previous articles, The Press said the
corporation left behind social, en
vironmental and financial problems
when it pulled out.
Before the merger, the industrial
chemicals firm already had 18 U.S.
plants and others in Mexico, il and
France. But the merger put
Diamond Alkali into the oil and pet
rochemical business.
Diamond employees got a taste of
things to come just after the merger.
The Press said that in a 1965 their
local union officials agreed to conces
sions to attact a new chromate plant
to Painesville, replacing the firm’s
old chromate plant. But in 1969,
