ST. FRANCISVILLE, La. —
Crown Zcllerbach officials vow
to push a huge paper mill back
into production despite a crip
pling walkout by /50 union
members concerned about job
security.
Monday’s walkout idled all
, but 100 of the plant’s 850 work
ers. However, Crown Zellerbach
officials hope to use salaried
workers to reopen the plant,
which is capable of producing
850 tons of paper daily.
“Our immediate short-term
plans are to operate the mill with
salaried personnel,’’spokesman
Laurin Baker said. “We have
competitors sitting out there just
waiting to take our orders. We
don’t intend to let that happen.”
He said the mill, which pri
marily produced slick paper
used by magazines, would be
back in operation this week.

AFTON, N.C. — Rep. Walter
Fauntroy says he was surprised
police arrested him with 113
other people attempting to stop
state dump trucks from hauling
PCB-contaminated dirt to a
landfill.
Led by Fauntroy and the Rev.
Joseph Lowery, president of the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference, about 500 demon
strators marched Monday from
a church to the landfill’s access
road.
Some of them sat down to
block a truck loaded with the
dirt. Highway patrolmen moved
in and began making arrests,
taking the protesters to waiting
prison buses.
“I told them being a member
of Congress, en route, and as a
member of the House in ses
sion,” it was illegal for them to
arrest him, Fauntroy said. Faun
troy is from the District of Col
umbia and is chairman of the
Congressional Black Caucus.
“I was surprised,” he said af
ter posting $200 bond on
charges of impeding traffic and
resisting arrest.
A spokesman from the Dt
partment of Crime Control an
Public Safety said, “It is hardfc
us to understand whathe.ife
route to Congress, is doingt
his knees in front of a dun;
truck in North Carolina."
The 114 arrests Mond;
brought to 391 the number*
people arrested since the truck
began rolling Sept. 15.
More demonstrations were
scheduled for Tuesday.
Residents and civil-right
leaders claim the landfill poses
health hazard and is located is

Banks, 40, who served a
seven-year term at Graterford
state prison in the 1960s for
armeci robbery, was in relative
isolation and under suicide
watch Tuesday at the Luzerne
County Prison, said a source
who asked not to be identified.

center could not commit Banks
to an institution involuntarily

Armed with an AR-15 auto
matic weapon, Banks is charge
with shooting four people
mobile home in Jenkins To»t
ship Saturday and nine more
and near his home in Wilb

and Banks was immediatelyp
on leave.
