' I NEW YORK — The Newspap-
j Guild Thursday rejected a last-
inute management proposal and
intout on strike against the New
rk Times.
The union, which represents
400 editorial, advertising and
rculation personnel, called the
ilkout at 6:30 a.m. after delaying
action for a half hour to consid-
| the proposal.
Federal mediator Robert Kyler
gj^jlaskcu both sides to return to the
®rgaining table immediately.
The Times, with a daily circula-
of900,000, said it would try to
iblish its next editions today
Rithout the Guild.
The Times and the New York
aily News, which are bargaining
gntly with the Guild, presented
enew proposal at 5:15 a.m.
Guild spokesman Pat Smith
jd the union “found major re-
fnnlrl npiijl egressions still in the proposal

Yfpm'llIn fot3lem of unequal pay rates.”

The key unresolved issue in
talks is the Guild’s demand that
dual wage scales — set in the 1978
contract — now be abolished.
The Guild also has warned it
might strike the News or the New
York Post, which is bargaining
separately with the union.
The News said it would give its
full support to the Times in the
event of a walkout, but stopped
short of promising to halt its own
presses if the Times was unable to
publish.
In a Guild newsletter the union
said it was “angered” by “two
monster retrogressions” by man
agement for the Times and News,
who are bargaining jointly.
The newsletter said the the
publishers are still sticking to dual
pay scale policy. And the Guild
ridiculed as “half-baked” a man
agement proposal for safety on
video display terminals — mini
computers which have replaced
the traditional typewriter.
Dual scales set a top minimum
salary for employees hired after
1978 that is below that paid to
veteran employees. The Guild
claims the system is unfair and
fears it could splinter the union.
The Times’ management issued
its own statement — titled “Stag
gering Towards the Precipice” —
which accused the Guild of mak
ing unrealistic demands that could
“bring destruction on the news
papers and all the people who
work for them.”
The statement said the Guild
refused to recognize the con
straints on New York newspaper
publishers “in this highly com
petitive market place” and said it
regards the Guild’s intentions
with “sadness and bewilder
ment.”
Bargaining — often running 24
hours at a stretch — went into
high gear last Tuesday when the
Guild threatened to strike The
Times at 12:01 a.m. the next day.
But the strike was postponed
when other unions failed to give
direct pledges to honor Guild
picket lines.
The Times, however, gave indi
cations on the verge last week’s
strike threat that it intended to
publish all editions without Guild
employees.
There has also been no indica
tion from George McDonald,
head of the Allied Printing Trades
Council, whether the unions rep
resented in the umbrella group
would support a walkout by the
Guild.
In 1966, during a 140-day
strike, the nine newspapers in ex
istence at the time did agree to
jointly stop their presses.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
Surgeons replaced part of Bess
Truman’s broken right hip socket
with metal and acrylic glue Thurs
day without problems, and her
doctor said the reconstruction was
a “beautiful job.”
Dr. Wallace Graham, the for
mer first lady’s personal physician
for 36 years, said the nation’s old
est former first lady spent 75 mi
nutes in the operating room.
She was listed in “very good”
condition, considering her
weakened condition before
surgery. Truman broke her right
hip in a fall from bed in her Inde
pendence home early
Wednesday.
“A beautiful job” was how Gra
ham described the work by
orthopedic surgeon Dr. Howard
Ellfeldt. Graham said Ellfeldt re
moved bone splinters at the base
of the fractured ball section of the
thigh bone. The ball section was
then replaced with metal parts
and acrylic glue, Graham said, and
the socket rejoined.
Truman had a few ventricular
contractions — unusual fluctua
tions in heart action — during
surgery, but Graham said it was
“not ominous.” He said Truman
was in “noble spirits” and under
the care of doctors who were
trying to curb the possibility of
infections or pneumonia.
The wife of the nation’s 33rd
president, Harry S. Truman, will
not be moved from Research
Medical Center until she is reco
vered, but doctors were uncertain
of that recovery time. After the
socket is healed, Graham said,
Truman’s therapy will include
muscular exercises that he said
she will find uncomfortable.
Truman, crippled in recent
years by advancing arthritis, was
unable to walk and could not stand
without assistance.
The operation and expected re
covery is Truman’s second hospit
al stay this year.
Her most recent hospitaliza
tion, for a skin irritation and urin
ary tract condition, lasted a
month.
The former first lady tumbled
from her bed Wednesday morning
while trying to get up unassisted
and was found on the floor with a
fractured right hip, ambulance
company officials said. When last
checked by a staff member at her
home, she had been sleeping.
Ambulance attendants took
Truman to the hospital. She was
accompanied by Valerie LaMere,
her housekeeper and companion,
and two Secret Service agents.
Mrs. Clifton Daniel, alerted in
New York by the Secret Service,
spent Wednesday afternoon at the
hospital with her mother. She had
planned to visit this week for the
annual Truman Week com
memoration that coincides with
the birthday today of the nation’s
33rd president.
Just before her last birthday,
Graham said she was “as healthy
as a person would normally be at
96” and very alert.
Truman rarely has left her home
in Independence after the death of
her husband on Dec. 26, 1972,
preferring the unceremonious
routine in the 17-room Victorian
house built in 1856 by her grand
father.

I'ROM ULUS, Mich. — Richard
manages: Mary Jo Maziarski were di-
,ds totalingi| 0rce d three years ago, but
eyftiss’ moJey’re never far apart these days,
about $5.Up a t’ s because she got the house
aiul he got the garage — and he’s
Iving in it.
Maziarski was satisfied with the
angement, but his ex-wife was
less than pleased.
“I wanted to get rid of that man,
jthat's why I divorced him,” she
I
arnu
I Mrs. Maziarski went to court
fts week and obtained a judg-
| * Ijr* ! %nt against her ex-husband, but
Ler problems may not be over.
I “I’m on my own land, minding
Ijy own business, and not bother-
ling anyone,” Maziarski said. “I’m
going to stay until they drag me
'Opt. I’ve got nowhere else to go. ”
■ At first the divorce worked out
§111, but last year Maziarski, dis-
pled by a heart ailment and living
r n . op $518 a month in Social Security
OUI la Ijiyments, needed a place to live.
So he moved into the large, wood-
frame garage.
A Romulus Building Depart
ment inspector, acting at the re
quest of Mrs. Maziarski, issued
Maziarski a citation for “living in a
nonconforming structure” and
ordered him to move out. He re
fused.
Tuesday, 34th District Judge
Henry Zaborowski fined Maziars
ki $40 and told him to move out.
But Maziarski said he’s staying un
til he finds a house as good as the
garage.

(DALLAS, TX) -
College students through
out the southwest can now
qualify for an immediate
payment of $3,000 plus a
monthly salary of approxi
mately $850 per month
while still in school.
Students are eligible for
this exceptional payment
program after interviews
and selection for the Navy’s
nuclear engineering pro
gram.
The Navy's regional co
ordinator in Dallas for this
program, Lt. E.E. Collins,
said the $3,000 bonus is a
new incentive recently
made available to “attract
bright college students to
this high technology train
ing program.
“It is an extraordinary
opportunity for students
to be paid this amount of
money while still in school
and at the same time, to
have an unparalleled man
agement position in nuclear
engineering waiting for
them upon graduation,”
Collins said.
After graduation, the
regional coordinator ex
plained that students will
receive a commission as an
officer in the Navy and
then undergo one year of
intensive theoretical and
practical training in nu
clear engineering.
At the completion of
this training, another
bonus of $3,000 is paid.
The engineer is then
assigned an operational
management position in
volving direct operation of
reactor plants. After four
years, further bonuses are
available up to $28,000, in
addition to an annual
salary of about $29,000
at present salary scales.
Collins said any junior
college student can apply
for an interview who is
majoring in physics, chem
istry or engineering with a
3.3 GPA. In addition, any
current senior or graduate
student with one year of
calculus and physics can
apply. Applicants must be
27 years old when the
degree they are currently
pursuing is granted.
