rill, -D-Lawton, senate ma-
jority floor leader.
Miller termed the code,
which is a modernization
of state public school law,
the key to final adjouma-
ment of the 1970 session.
He said the very size of
the measure will require
many hours of considera-
tion by the senate before it
finally passes the bill.
Sen. Finis Smith, D-
Tulsa, senate president
pro tempore, has tagged
the code a must for this
session.
Even after the senate
passes the bill, the meas-
ure faces much work in a
house-senate committee
that will be given the job
of reconciling it with other

sion.

In Detroit, Robert Pur-
due, director of postal op-
erations, said the workers
appeared to be returning
in full force at the 6 a.m.
shift change. Picket lines
went down in front of the
main city post office.
Pickets were still up at
the Military Ocean Termi-
nal in Brooklyn and most
were bitter over the Presi-
dent’s decision to deploy
the troops. But there ap-
peared to be some senti-
ment for a return.
L.C. Burke, the station
vice president of Local 1 of
the mail handlers union,
said: "We might as well
go back, the soldiers are in
and we don’t have much to
gain staying out.”
Another member
agreed, saying, "I don’t
want to lose my job.”
However the majority of
the pickets said they would
not go back until they got
word from the local presi-
dent.
National Guard troops
began to assemble at ar-
mories in the New York
metropolitan area at 6
a.m. in accordance with
Pentagon directives.
Maj. Gen. Martin H.
Foery, their commanding
officer, said he thought the
earliest his men would
move into the post offices
would be in the afternoon
"if the strikers don’t come
back.”
In Washington, congres- ..
sional leaders told the
House and Senate they

C. (AP) — A week-long
noise campaign has driven
away most of the millions
of birds which plagued this
town.
The blackbirds, s t a r-
lings, cowbirds and grac-

an early start to their

Donald Harke of the U.S.

10,000 to 20.000 birds re-
mained over the weekend
compared with between 2
million and 3 million re-
cently.
Two portable distress
call units, a helicopter and
shotguns were used to
frighten the birds away.
