The government is able to take the action because The Globe-Democrat, published by Newhouse newspapers, and the afternoon St. Louis Post- Dispatch have maintained a joint operating agreement since 1961, merging business, adver tising and circulation depart ments. ' ; The agreement keeps the companies exempt from anti trust laws under the Newspaper Preservation Act. “During the past two years, major daily newspapers have ceased publication in Washing ton, D.C., Cleveland, Philadel phia, Buffalo, Portland and New Orleans,” publisher G. Duncan Bauman sai<f Monday^ “For many years the Globe- Democrat has fought this trend., Nevertheless, the Globe- Democrat has incurred substan tial losses for many years,” Bau man said.

District Attorney Jerry Cobb said he planned to call 12 witnes ses after opening statements were concluded Tuesday after- Lucas, 47, told authorities he killed more than 150 women in the past eight years. But he pleaded innocent to the first- degree murder charge. State District Judge W.C. Boyd and attorneys for the de fense and prosecution required a day and a half to seat the jurors for Lucas’ first trial since he was convicted in 1960 of killing his mother in Michigan. Court-appointed defense attorney Tom Whitlock of De nton said he planned to ask Boyd to reduce the charge from murder to voluntary man slaughter in the slaying of Frieda “Becky” Powell, 15, a Jacksonville, Fla., runaway and Lucas’ traveling companion. Whitlock said he did not con sider a videotaped conversation between Lucas and investiga tors, in which Lucas detailed how he stabbed the girl, to be a confession. “In that tape he does not con fess to murder,” Whitlock said. “Cutting a body is not murder. I Uuttmg a Doay is not muruei. i don’t think the evidence will show that. If Henry is guilty of anything, he’s guilty of man slaughter.” Cobb said he would continue to press for a first-degree mur der conviction — punishable by five to 99 years or life in prison. “It’s up to thejury whether or not to believe that stabbing a woman just because she slapped him constitutes murder or not,” Cobb said. In the videotape, Lucas re counted stabbing Powell to death, having sex with her corp se and dismembering her body with a 10-inch kitchen knife. “The tape is dem^ my case but may not 1*4 tating as some wouldi said Whitlock.

Strikers given ultimatum United Press International PHOENIX, Ariz. — Greyhound officials expressed confidence Tuesday that many of the 12,500 striking employees will accept an order to return to .yyprk, next ; w.gek when- the na tion s largest bus system plans to resume oj?erations. Leaders of the Amalgamated Transit Union urged strikers to reject the- company’s latest ulti- rhatum, which demands they re turn to work or be replaced. . Greyhound spokesman Don Behnke said responses to a com pany letter, sent to employees and setting a Monday deadline for acceptance of the latest offer, were to be returned to each striker’s immediate super visor. ^“We will make a tabulation at the end of the day Monday and see where we stand,” he said. E.B. Franklin, international vice president of the ATU, urged union members to return the letters: with a rejection.. “As far as I’m concerned, I hope; every member spends 25 cents — which is all they can afford — and sends them back and tells Mr. Teets (Greyhound Corp. Chairman John W. Teets) what he can do with it,” said Franklin. The striking employees in clude 7,000 drivers, but Behnke said Greyhound does not expect to have to hire replacements for all. “There are a lot of drivers out there with smaller companies and charter companies that are not being paid anything like Greyhound,” Behnke said. “There is a reservoir of talent from which we can draw.” No definite time has been set for resuming service, halted by a strike at midnight last Wednes day, Behnke said. “When we do, it will have to be on a limited basis, concentrating in the heavier traffic zones where the most people are," he said. “The extent of service will depend upon the talent that we have available.” Greyhound is not particularly worried about Thanksgiving holiday travelers, he said. Greyhound, which normally carries ,600,000 passengers a day, undoubtedly will lose some of its holiday traffic«I ,a y ways, which has exp|| "Fourth of July” busies from the Greyhoundsb Behnke said.
