Noah said he would recom mend the medal for the 30- year-old electronics technician, who risked his life to save the family Saturday. Hart discovered the fire at the Garden Terrace Apart ments while delivering Girl Scout Cookies with his 8-year- old daughter, Melissa, and wife Jana. He kicked in the door to the empty apartment where the fire was believed to have begun, but was driven back by flames. “Everything inside was burn ing,” Hart said. “I knew there was nothing I could do there.” Sprinting to the next apart ment, Hart pounded on the door, shouting, “Fire!” then turned to continue down the row when he heard a child cry out. “When you hear a little girl in terror and you have a little girl of your own, you’ve got to do something,” Hart said.

Union demands accepted — *— /ol 78 No. Talks resume with ABC onl United Press International Wr= SOUTH AFRICA Imsc 'Of i nc: a i t OKUM SERIES 1984 APARTHEID (a'-part'hit): THE CONTROVERSY NEW YORK — ABC ac cepted two key union demands Sunday and broke ranks with CBS in contract talks with 700 news writers and graphic artists who threaten to strike the net works at midnight, union offi cials said. Spokesmen for the networks were not available for comment. The union, the Writers Guild of America, said the strike would begin at 12:01 a.m. EST Monday unless significant pro gress was made in the negotia tions on a new three-year con tract. Corinne Notkin, a spokeswo man for the union, said negotia tions resumed at 6 p.m. be tween the union and ABC. There were no direct talks with CBS, she said, although the net work was participating as an ob server in the ABC talks. “We’re very hopeful that when we meet tonight, we’ll have something come out of that meeting that will enable us to cancel the strike deadline, at least against ABC,” said Lew Pinsker, a member of the union bargaining committee. The contract for approxi mately 600 of the 700 union members expired at 12:01 a.m. Friday. The employees had been scheduled to strike then but voted to extend the dead line by 72 hours. Pinsker said the talks had “come quite a way” and that ABC agreed early Sunday to forbid on-air reporters from writing copy for other on-air re porters and to only use graphics prepared by union members. “Still remaining are the ques tions of hiring unlimited tem poraries (employees) and money,” Pinsker said. The networks have offered 6 percent pay increase in each year of a three-yearpaci. The union has demanded a 9 per cent annual increase. Pinsker said 320 of the mem- bers work at CBS, 280 at ABC and the rest are members of an other union. A strike by the news writers, graphic artists, researchers and clerks would affect news programs, inclm CBS evening News« Rather,” ABC’s "Wot Tonight,” "Good 1 America,” and "The Morning News.” Tht also would affect netvori broadcasts.
