BUD WARD VOU<SWAGEN) "ONE STOP SHOPPING FOR ALL YOUR AUDIO A VIDEO NEEDS’ to handle the massive amounts of grain moving from the fields. He said formers are facing the prospect of being unable to move their products to market “and will be forced to dump grain on the ground.” Both Fred Kroll, president of the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks, and Fred Hardin, president of the United Transportation Un ion, met with Rock Island officials Tuesday at the headquarters of the National Mediation Board, but little progress was reported. The key issue in dispute for both unions has been the railroad’s re fusal to grant retroactive pay in creases, along the lines of the re cently negotiated agreements with most other major railroads. The Rock Island operates in 13 states and is one of the nation’s major grain haulers, carrying an es timated annual load of more than $3 billion. But federal officials have refused a company request to order a 60-day “cooling off” period on the grounds the strike has created a national emergency. A Kroll spokesman described Rock Island’s position as “refusal to negotiate, no change in its position against retroactivity, and an nouncement that if workers wanted to come back to work, they would have to work under rules promul gated by the company. “It doesn’t look like any move ment at all,” he said. “The meeting has been recessed without any further date. The status quo pre vails.” The railway and airline clerks struck Aug. 28, Anti-Davis witness says he lied on tape United Press International FORT WORTH — David McCrory told a T. Cullen Davis at torney “what he wanted to hear” — rather than the truth — the prosecu tion witness has testified. A tape of the conversation bet ween attorney Steve Sumner and McCrory was played for the jury Tuesday in Davis’ murder-for-hire trial. After it was played, McCrory tes tified that he had lied to Sumner sev eral times on the tape. “I was telling him what he wanted to hear, ” McCrory said under cross examination by Davis’ lead defense attorney, Richard ‘‘Racehorse’’ Haynes. McCrory said that he figured the testimony he gave Sumner would get back to Davis and “give me some breathing room,” so that Davis would stop pressuring him about having people killed. Davis is charged with trying to force McCrory to hire someone to kill Davis’ divorce judge, Joe Eid- son. McCrory, however, was work ing with the FBI and no one was hurt in the alleged plot. McCrory said he believed he was being taped at the time because Sumner always taped interviews. Haynes scored a few points on cross examination, pointing out minor inconsistencies in McCrory’s testimony in the trial, as well as tes timony given in the previous trial in Houston, which ended in a hung jury, and in a bond hearing for Davis in Fort Worth. Inmates exercise green thumbs United Press International SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. — Officially, it’s known as “horticiil tural therapy.” The inmates simply call it a “good deal.” Whatever it’s called, the garden they planted this year outside lit walls of the Chittenden Community Correctional Center hasbecomf the talk of the prison. “The idea is that planting, nurturing and harvesting a garden satis lies a primal need and helps prisoners gain self confidence and sel esteem,” said Nancy Flinn, 38, a mother of four who started tie program last spring. First, she talked correction officials into trying the idea, then con vinced the University of Vermont to loan a 3 Va-acre alfalfa field nearby Nearly a dozen inmates volunteered to work part time in the field; and Flinn convinced CETA officials to pay four prisoners $3.25 an bom to cultivate vegetables. The prison brigade planted 800 tomato plants, 700 pounds of potatoes and a dozen rows of corn, but initial enthusiasm was lagging “I hated this garden at first. I hated it because I had to be hated everything about prison,” said Rick Brown, 32. “Now, I’d have to say it helped me,” he said as he harvested: 200-foot row of yellow beans. “It’s not working in the garden per se, but all the things thatgowitl it — all the pats on the back we’ve gotten, the people we’ve inet,”ln said. Brown, serving a one-year sentence, is due for release this monl his sentence reduced by “good time” earned in part in the garden J the other prisoners working in the garden were nearing the endofthet Prison guard Brent Baker, who supervised the garden, said then had been only one security problem — a woman inmate who escaped and was caught an hour later. The only other law enforcement problem put prisoners at the receiv ing end of a crime — an overnight thief cleaned out eight rowsoi potatoes. “You never saw anybody get mad until you’ve seen a bunchd prisoners who have been ripped off, one observer said. here !
