Nearly all long-haul highway trucking in California is shut down, it was expected to be sev eral days before transcontinental trucks on the road when the lock out began would reach the end of their runs. No shortage was reported yet at retail outlets. Unaffected are company-owned truck fleets, such as those of bakeries and dairies, and movers ot Household goods. The strike-lockout involves com mon carrier highway hauling and "lor hire" pickup and delivery service operating out of freight terminals.

House Vote Cites -Bernard Goldfine WASHINGTON (AP) The House voted Wednesday to cite Bernard Goldfine, Boston million aire friend of Sherman Adams. for contcn-.pt of Congress. ' The action sends the matter to the U.S. District attorney who can sunmit it to a grand jury. If convicted of contempt. Gold fine could be fined $1,000 and im prisoned for a year. Since he was cited for refusing to answer 22 questions from an in vestigating subcommittee, some members suggested in the debate that theoretically such a penalty could 'be imposed for each ques tion, on conviction. That is a question, however, that the courts have not finally set tled. Chairman Oren Harris (D-Ark) of the investigating subcommittee demanded the action against Goldfine, who had contended that the questions were not pertinent and concerned internal affairs of his business. Harris asked: "Is the Congress coins' to let an individual, who obviously has been getting by with illegal acts in or ganizations with minority stock holders, say to Congress: "I'm go ing to decide whether the ques tions are relevant and pertinent?'" Harris contended the "legisla tive processes of this House have been thwarted.
