some of the fattest delegations to
the Democratic and Republican
national conventions.

states, New York and California,
have primaries.

Sikorsky
Plant Hit
By Walkout
STRATFORD, Conn. (AP) The
United Aircraft Corporation's Si
korsky Aircraft Division at Strat
ford and Bridgeport was hit by
a union-authorized walkout today.
The action came suddenly and
was seven days ahead of a sched
uled strike against all seven Unit
ed Aircraft plants In Connecticut.
Permission to walkout came
from Stig Lindholtz, international
representative of the United Auto
Workers, one of two unions joined
in a nnitv nact in negotiations.
The other is the International
Assn. of Machinists.
Both Unions hold contracts with
33,000 production workers in the
corporation's Pratt and Whitney,
Hamilton Standard and Sikorsky
Aircraft divisions. The members
have been working without con
tracts during several weeks of ne
gotiations.
The unions say that wages are
not at issue. 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. Union members com
nlained of "management snoop
ing" Monday, and said they had
been locked out this morning.
Of a total of 4,743 production
employes at Sikorsky, the com
pany said approximately 1,454 ap
parently were on strike at noon.
Lee S. Johnson. Sikorsky's gen
eral manager, said the company
would provide work for all em
ployes.

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 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. The charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses is
based on a report by Elmore Hill,
manager of the Timber Room. He
said O'Brien had given him a $20
worthless check on May 24, in ad
dition to $130 other bad checks In
holds from him. Two other Rose
burg businesses also reported they
had taken bad checks from him,
totaling $95.

plaint with the district attorney's
office and asked that a hold be
made on O'Brien in Marysville.

Indecency Charged
Charles Doman Frach, 30, was
arrested by Roseburg police Mon
day evening at Stewart Park on a
chargo of indecent exposure.
According to police, he was
lodged in the Douglas County jail
on the Indecent exposure charge.
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.
Eisenhower joined his class
mates and their ladies for a re
ception on the hotel's garden ter
race. Then the group moved into
the adjacent grill room for a roast
beef dinner.
Tho President and fellow mem
bers of the "class of stars" so-
cnirctr uccauscr or weir rnnnniTi
who became star-wearing gener
als wore formal white jackets
and black trousers.
Elsenhower looked ruddy and

"Ho looks fine much younger
than on tho television scroen."
Elsenhower observed Alumni
Day Monday with a nostalgic hut !
energetic tour of the academy and i
participation in colorful June Week '
ceremonies. 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.
