The negotiations, c o v e r i n g 450,000 workers in 12,000 trucking firms, by now center on money Issues. The employers and the union are believed still to be far apart. . The talks recessed at 2 a;m. today and were to resume at -an unscheduled hour. « * y •* ^ . A nationwide vhte of Teamsters trucking locals was overwhelmingly in favor of striking if there is no settlement. The union’s announced strategy would be to strike only a few major Anns, but spokesmen for 1,500 major companies represented by Trucking Employers Inc. have threatened to shut down all TEI firms if any are struck. After the third straight night «f all-night sessions, the talks reportedly were snagged over wages. The union’s last reported demantf was 56 cents .per hour over a three-year contract.

The Australian ground sweep in coastal Phuoc Tpy Province began March 21 but was kept under security wraps until Monday. It numbers perhaps 4,000 mot, including U.S. soldiers under Austrian command. The operation, called Portsea, is aimed at clearing an area long tinder the control of the Vietcong and is intended open local roads so peasants can teach the district market without harassment.

David Lawrence Says: Pre-WWI Debate Like Today’s News reports of committee investigations of the personal actions of . various members of Congress, their use of taxpayers’ money for their own purposes and thehf disregard of re- > strictions that govern private citizens/’ have been an eye-opener for the voters and taxpayers. There used to be a myth about the “divine right of kings,” and the “king > can do no wrong.” The people in those olden times were helpless. But, in the U.S. today, they are not powerless! Theyhave the right to vote, and thfty should nofe well the spenders of their tax funds. , To add insult to injury, a bill has been introduced in\ Congress to provide annual government-. paid vacations for congressmen— two weeks abroad and two weeks • in the U.S., including one traveling companion. But why at "taxpayers’ expense on nonofficial business? Such lavish attention to vacations, with the public footing the bill, could prove a risky business for Congressmen. Constituents may decide that certain of their representatives should have a long, long vacation— at their own expense. Hgy of Hope Seen for New York’s Drug Addicts Drug addiction In New York State, Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller has said, will be "as rare as tuberculosis” within a decade. The governor obviously looks for spectacular results from a program to take effect today under which narcotics users can be Compelled to undergo treatment at public expense. The Federal Narcotics Bureau estimates that there are about 30,000 drug addicts in New York—slightly more than half of all addicts in the Country California's six-year experience ■ with 'compulsory treatment of narcotics addicts furnishes ground for hope that11 the' New York program will prove successful—though perhaps not so successful as Rockefeller might wish. One out of every five addicts treated in California has stayed away from the drugs for at least two years after parole. This is considered a good record, ^given^th© high rate of recidi-. vism among treated addicts. It is, however, considerably short of the* goal that the governor of New York hopes his state will attain.

He formally requested a declaration of a “state of war” against the imperial government of Germany. Despite pacifist demonstrations outside the Capitol and after a comprehensive debate, die resolution declaring a “state of war” was passed on Wednesday by a vote of 82 to 6 in the Senate, and by a vote of 373 to 50’ in the House of Representatives at 3:15 am. on Friday, April 6.

The President then issued an executive order to permit merchant ships to be armed, but it soon became apparent that, without the help of the navies on the allied side, such a step would he inadequate. So the President called a special session of Congress, and, in address on April 2, re- quested the declaration of a "state of war.” Will a miscalculation by the enemy again lead to a big war, or will a policy this time of military firmness by the United Stitos convince the Communists that no sacrifices will be spared to force an end to the conflict-and ensure a guaranteed peace? .

If the full moon happens on a Sunday, Easter is the Sunday after. Properly speaking, full moon means the I4to day after the moon. Easter never occurs before March 22 or after April 25. This information was taken from our BiMe. The full moon was on Sunday March 21, so Easter should have been April 2, shouldn’t it?
