Both Unions hold contracts with 33,000 production workers in the corporation's Pratt and Whitney, Hamilton Standard and Sikorsky Aircraft divisions.

They want full ar bitrations of disputes, the right to company grounds during worKing hours, stronger job security, un ion shop and automatic pay raises, rather than merit in creases. All seven plants have been working on a large backlog of government orders. The exact number Has neen ciassuiea. The Sikorsky strike was pre ceded by walkouts Monday and today.

Douglas ORchard 3-3423 lous states, South Dakota also will have a primary vote for conven tion delegates. Residents of three other states Idaho, Mississippi, and Montana also vote in primaries today. But, like Monday's primary in Iowa, these involve state and congres sional nominations. The extensive voting is not ex pected to produce any significant change in the presidential nom inating picture. None of the Democratic dele gates in California and South Da kota will be pledged officially to any of the party's leading candi dates. Vice President Richard M. Nixon will pick up the Republican delegates in both states. New York's delegations will meet later to decide whom to sup port. Advance reports are that the Democrats will lean to Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachu setts and the Republicans to gov ernor Nelson A. Rockefeller. In Iowa Monday, Gov. Herschel Loveless, unopposed, won the Democratic nomination for sen ator. State Sen. Jack Miller and former State Atty. Gen. Dayton Countryman were running neck and neck for the Republican nom ination with four others behind. Atty. Gen. Norman Erbe was leading in the race for the Repub lican nomination for governor. Lt. Gov. E. J. McManus was leading for .the Democratic nomination. In California, the primary amounts to a popularity contest between Nixon and Gov. Edmund G. Brown. Nixon is unopposed on the Republican ballot. Brown has minor opposition on the Demo cratic ballot. A surprise element entered the Prisoner Faces Bad Check Counts A man in a Marysville, Calif., Jail faces bad check charges in Roseburg. He is Daniel Patrick O'Brien, 48, who Roseburg police say pass ed more than $200 worth of bad checks here.

This yoar's farewells were sound ed at a got-togcthcr in the acad emy's spic and span Hotel Thay er, high on a bluff overlooking the Hudson River.

I campaign Monday when support ers of Rockefeller appealed for a silent vote. Since no write-ins are allowed, a "Citiiens-for-Rockefel-ler" group urged Republicans to stay home. The move coincided with the opening in New York of a "Draft Rockefeller" group. Its chairman. Jack Barnes, predicted that the governor's name would be placed in nomination at the national con vention. Rockefeller disassociated him self from Barnes' group. The gov ernor also was reported to have told a closed meeting of some New York Republican leaders that he was not disloyal to the Republican party in not endorsing Nixon. At South Fallsburg, N.Y., a participant in the meeting report ed. Rockefeller said his stand was stimulating public interest in the party. In New York, voters pick 86 delegates to the Democratic con vention, each with one vote. Later, the party will name 56 more dele gates, each with a half-vote. Republican voters also pick 86 delegates. The party later will appoint 10 other delegates. Both Michael Prendergast, state Democratic chairman, and Car mine DeSapio, state national com mitteeman and leader of Tam many Hall, predicted the Demo cratic delegation would support Kennedy. The Republicans are expected to back Rockefeller, who has said he would be available for a draft. In South Dakota, Democrats will pick an unpledged 11-vote delegation and Republicans a 14 vote unpledged delegation. The Democrats had been ex pected to support Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, but he withdrew from the race after los ing to Kennedy in two primaries. Although unpledged, the Republi cans are expected to back Nixon. In Montana, the interest centers on the Democratic nomination for the Senate seat now held by Sen. James E. Murray, who is retiring. Four Democrats are running, including Reps. Lee Metcalf and Lerov Anderson, who gave up their congressional seats to enter the contest.
