United Press International NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The sale of 3-D glasses for an election night movie about a rampaging gorilla has raised the ire of the Easter Seals Society. Easter Seals filed a $ 15,000 suit Monday against Hot Stop Markets, claiming store work ers told customers that pro ceeds from the sale of 3-D glasses were going to the charity. “I wish we didn’t have to do this,” said John Rebrovick, di rector of development of Eas ter Seals for Middle Tennes see. “I hate that Easter Seals has to be involved in a lawsuit. but I feel we wouldn’t be pro tecting the handicapped if we didn’t go with it.” The glasses were being sold in conjunction with a 3-D movie, “Gorilla At Large,” to be televised Aug. 5 by inde pendent WZTV as an alterna tive to “boring election night” coverage by other stations in Nashville. Easter Seals stood to gain 70 percent of the net proceeds from sale of the glasses by 7- Eleven stores, but got no share of the profits from the sales by Hot Stop Markets. The suit said Hot Stop Mar kets told numerous customers that the proceeds were indeed going to Easter Seals. “Hot Stop said they told their employees that the money would not go to us, but their employees are very con fused,” Rebrovick said. Chancellor C. Allen High signed an injunction Monday that allows Hot Stop to con tinue selling the glasses but prevents employees from tell ing customers the money is going to Easter Seals. “The real issue here is that the public is confused,” Re brovick said. “They have a right to sell the glasses, it is just when they used Easter Seals’ name that they overstepped their bounds.” Iranians jailed after riot face ‘lack of ID’ charges United Press International DALLAS — A group of Ayatollah Khomeini loyalists faced charges Tuesday for not carrying their identification cards when arrested Friday in a riot at Southern Methodist Uni versity. Dallas County sheriff spokes man Jim Ewell said one of 33 Iranians arrested had been re leased on $500 bond after pro ving he was living legally in the United States. The others would not be allowed to post bond until they could prove they were in the country legally, he said. They were held on trespas sing charges filed by the SMU Department of Public Safety. Ewell said the Immigration and Naturalization Service spent Monday running a com puter check on the the jailed pro-Khomeini group. An INS regional official in Dallas said charges would be filed against the Iranians for not carrying proper identification. The men listed addresses mostly in Oklahoma and Texas. Thirteen of the prisoners being held in jail refused to eat Monday. “We don’t know if there is some religious reason or not,” Ewell said. “They either don’t speak much English or refuse to speak it, because we can’t com municate enough to find out what their problem is. “As long as it doesn’t become a health problem, if they want to refuse food, that’s OK.” $750 per car pays medical benefits Chrysler wants union to share bills United Press International in an effort to hold the line on Auto Workers to share payment raise benefit costs and rates we DETROIT — Chrysler Corp., labor costs, says it wants United of their medical bills and insur- must look at areas where cost ance deductibles in return for savings are possible,” Miner the restoration of previous con- said.

Thomas Miner, Chrysler’s vice president for industrial re lations, said the company asked the union Monday to agree to co-payment of medical bills and the payment of deductibles for insurance. UAW President Douglas Fraser already has rejected the idea. The union prides itself on its extensive fully paid medical plans. Bargainers for the UAW said they would have no com ment on the latest round of proposals until later in the week. When asked what the union’s response was to the proposal, Miner said, “I wouldn’t describe it as wildly enthusiastic.” The current pact between the UAW and Chrysler expires Sept. 14. Miner said medical costs in 1982 now equal $750 per car built by the automaker. The UAW wants to reinstitute the cost-of-living allowance and wage concessions made last year when Chrysler was close to bankruptcy. “We’re more than willing to address those problems, as we told the union, but in order to generate money in which to The company could take money from benefits and put it back in paychecks, Miner said, but the net result must be the same $19.60 an hour workers now receive in wages and be nefits. He said despite concessions made at CM and Ford, the con tracts are “very, very heavily backloaded.” By 1984, when the contracts run out, Miner said labor costs at the automakers will increase about $3 an hour. “We just can’t hack that and we told them we can’t,” he said. “It would make no sense at all for us to agree to a settlement package that increases our labor costs and paves the way to put us out of business eventually.” Miner said the company also is proposing reforms in pension benefits. Currently Chrysler has one retired worker for every active employee. Miner said pension costs are $10,000 a year per em ployee. To cut this cost, Miner said Chrysler wants the union to alter its “30-and-out” retirement program that allows workers to retire after 30 years’ service, re gardless of age. Feds fortify S&Ls United Press International WASHINGTON — Govern ment regulators have crossed state lines to bring together nearly $12 billion worth of sav ings and loan associations, hop ing to fortify those most likely to fail or which were already closed down. The action Monday was the largest set of consolidations forced by government regula tors at any one time. This was the 23rd such urgent repair mis sion so far this year — the same total as all of last year. In putting together some of the latest mergers, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation had to spend more than $21 million in cash to make good loan losses, as well as accept more than $50 million in promissory notes, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board announced. The interstate combinations were the most controversial aspect of the moves, especially from the point of view of the thrift industry’s adversaries in the banking industry. They appeared to represent an increased government will ingness to give the surviving sav ings and loan associations some thing still mostly denied to the banking industry dy its federal regulators — a reach into other states. That can allow pools of sav ings accumulating in one part of the country, often the Northeast and Florida, to be used to gener ate profits in other areas where the housing industry is more ac tive and lending more attractive — often the West Coast and else where in the Sun Belt. The mergers brought to 12 the number of interstate com binations permitted by the bank board since it inaugurated the policy in September. The largest consolidation announced Monday added more than $1.5 billion to the assets of Erie Savings Bank of Buffalo, N.Y., and gave Erie Savings 37 additional offices in states as far away as Michigan, Texas and Florida. Erie Savings ends up with $4.7 billion in assets, having absorbed Harris County Federal of Baytown, American Federal of Southfield, Mich., and First Federal of Mid-Florida, Deland, Fla. The combination cost the government’s insurance fund $7 million in cash assistance, all to cover losses of the Michigan association. In addition, the gov ernment took $52 million in promissory notes from Empire. In a similar action in Novem ber, Erie Savings acquired Empire State Federal Savings and Loan of White Plains, N.Y., and will use the Empire name for corporate entities that will operate the Michigan and Flor ida subsidiaries. In other actions Monday, the bank board announced acquisi tion by First Federal of Phoenix, Ariz., of the Mutual Savings and Loan Association of El Paso. Mutual Savings had been closed by Texas authorities on July 30. Desegregation suit settled in Odessa United Press International ODESSA — A federal judge has ruled that Ector County must tranfer 400 students from one Odessa school to two others to meet Justice Department guidelines and settle a 12-year- old desegregation suit. “That’s the only plan the court had,” said school district lawyer Jack Tidwell of Federal Judge Fred Shannon’s ruling late Monday. “We expected it. They (the Justice Department) have been messing with the damn thing for 12 years and there comes a time when you have to quit.” Ector High students will be sent to Odessa and Permian high schools, the court ruled, and Ector High will become a junior high school. Laurence Hurd, plaintiff in the original class action suit, said his group may appeal the deci sion which takes effect this fall.
