CLEVELAND (AP) — U.S. Labor
Secretary William J. Usery Jr. says
the three-month-old rubber industry
strike is among the top items on his
agenda today following Tuesday's
settlement of the Westinghouse Elec-
tric strike.

A telescopic arm will reach out of
the Viking and scoop up a clawful of
Martian soil, then deposit part of it
in Clark's device and the remainder
in other experiment devices.
Clark's instruments then will at-
tempt to detect exactly what miner-
als and elemenU are contained in
the soil, and in what proportions.
"The mission has been perfect so
far," Clark says.

"If you look at what we need for
life," said McElroy, referring to
Mars, "we need energy; that we
have. We need water; that we have.
We need nitrogen; that we have.
Carbon, phosphates....
"I see no reason to exclude, from
everything we know, the possibility
of the evolution of life."
The important question, he said, is
whether water existed in a liquid
form on the planet long enough for
the random combinations of prelife
ingredients to come together and be-
gin to evolve into self-reproducing
forms.
Usery took a personal hand in the
Westinghouse talks, returning to
Washington, after settlements were
announced.

Tuesday that gas service be contin-

Petroleum camps in the Borger area
until an abandonment request can be
ruled on.
Southern Union has notified the
customers the service would be dis-
continued July 26 because of an un-
steady supply, a decline in custom-
ers, extensive service problems and
the anticipated cost of upgrading fa-
cilities to meet federal pipeline safe-

FBI names No. 2
WASHINGTON (AP) — Richard
G. Held, a 35-year FBI veteran
whose service includes two stints in
Butte, Mont., and not much time at
all in Washington, has been named
the bureau's No. 2 official.
An aide said Usery was in contact
with top rubber industry negotiators
before going to Pittsburgh for the
Westinghouse talks Sunday and that
he would continue those conversa-
tions in an effort to get representa-
tives of the United Rubber Workers
and the industry's Big Four back to
the bargaining table.

Hot weather is expected to contin-

ture is supposed to be milder to-
night.
Scattered showers which had been
forecast for today have been stalled
in northwest Oklahoma and the best

toward merger as quickly as possi-
ble" with the American Lutheran
Church.
The Rev. Dr. Robert J. Marshall
told a group of youthful church
members that the two Lutheran fac-
tions are separated only by "practi-
cal differences" and not differences
in church doctrine.
Workers were hurt as well by a
June decline in average weekly
hours on the job.
■ The Labor Department said the
decline, amounting to six-tenths of a
per cent, plus the rise in retail
prices resulted in a decline of one
per cent in gross weekly earnings.
Over all, consumer prices last
month were 5.9 per cent more than
they were during the same month a
year ago.
In an interview Tuesday, John
Kendrick, the Commerce Depart-
ment's chief economist, said: "It
doesn't look as if there will an accel-
eration in price inflation at least for
the next several months, because of
the favorable farm and food pros-
pects."
For the month of June, the Con-
sumer Price Index stood at 170.1.
That means that the same variety of
goods and services that cost $100 in
1967 cost $170.10 in June.
The five-tenths of a per cent in-
crease in the index last month was
adjusted to account for normal sea-
sonal influences.
The slowdown in the increase of
grocery prices reflected declines in
the cost of beef and pork as well as
fruit and vegetables. Prices for oth-
er foods, Including eggs, coffee, bak-
ery products, poultry and dairy
goods Increased.
A sampling of prices showed that
beef declined four-tenths of a per
cent following a jump of 3.9 per cent
in May. Pork declined 1.5 per cent
Coffee prices jumped 4.9 per cent,
while poultry climbed 3.5 per cent.

can reach.
"There is a team now studying ex-

samples," Clark continued.
"It will take about 10 hours for us
to analyze what the scoop brings us.

"Probably there will be iron, cal-

Clark says his device does not
search for living organisms.
"But we will be working closely
with the biological team which is
conducting that kind of experiments.

them whether the soil seems to be

The measurements were made by
instruments aboard the Viking lan-
der as it soared through the atmos-
phere en route to its touchdown, the
first successful soft landing on Mars
in history. The amounts reported by
scientists were about 1.5 per cent ar-
gon and about 3 per cent nitrogen.
After arriving on the planet, the
lander began streaming spectacular
pictures 213 million miles back to
earth of a rock-strewn landscape,
looking much like the Arizona de-
sert, with craters and dunes in the
distance.

NEW YQRK (AP) — Six men, two
of them Transit Authority employees
and one a former employee, have
been accused of stealing at least $1
million from subway token booths
and spending their loot on high liv-
ing.
"They had fancy pads, had beauti-
ful mistresses, they had the best of
equipment," said Transit Police
Chief Sanford Garelik. "They're not
only in trouble with the law, they're
in trouble with their wives."

8 companies fined

WASHINGTON (AP)
— Senate Republicans
held the key today to
whether the Democrat-
ic majority can muster
the votes to override
President Ford's veto
of a $3.95 billion public
works jobs bill.
Ford contends
bill would create more
inflation rather than
permanent jobs.
"I think there are
about six undecided,"
said Sen. Robert P.
Griffin, R-Mich., assist-
ant minority leader,
when asked how many
Republicans might de-
sert the President and
vote to override.
Griffin already has
announced he would
vote to override. Grif-
fin was one of the key
Ford allies last Febru-
ary when the Senate
fell three votes short of
overriding the Presi-
dent's veto of an earlier
and larger public
works jobs bill.
Griffin did not say
who the six undecided
Republicans were.
The bill would per-
manently extend unem-
ployment compensation
coverage to about 8.9
million of the 10 million
jobs not currently cov-
ered.
Effective Jan. 1, 1978,
the extension would
and it appeared that debate would
consume most of the day. The House
of representatives is prepared to go
into session to 4 p.m. and receive the
bill from the Senate for first read-
ing.
If the timetable holds the House
then on Thursday would have the bill
on second reading Thursday and di-
rect it directly to its calendar.
This would send up House consid-
eration of the bill in committee of
the whole on Friday with final pas-
sage coming that same day.
Active in the Senate attempts to
amend the bill is Sen. Bill Dawson.
D-Seminole, who has two amend-
ments on the desk.
One amendment would provide for
Oklahomans to cast a concensus
voU on the question of the death
penalty at the Aug. 24 primary.
The opinion sampling would have
no bearing on the bill being consid-
ered. He said it would merely ask
the people to state if they favor the
death penalty and this would be a
guide to future legislative action.
The Dawson amendment would
also call for the same "retention"
vote every five years.
A second Dawson amendment
would provide that condemned per-
sons would die in a gas chamber
rather than in the electric chair. .

vate secretary to Cubbon, who is re-
sponsible for implementing Britain's
continuing direct rule in Northern
Ireland. They had traveled here
Tuesday night from Belfast on what
was described as a routine familiari-
zation trip. Cubbon is regarded as
the right-hand man to Merlyn Rees,
the British minister directly respon-
sible for Northern Ireland.
First reports said the woman was
the ambassador's wife but the em-
bassy announced that Mrs. Ewart-
Biggs went to England Tuesday
night on a visit.
Police identified the injured chauf-
feur as Brian O'Driscoll.
In the confusion after the explo-
sion on a road about 150 yards from
the gates of the ambassador's resi-
dence, first reports said the explo-
sion was due to a booby-trap bomb
In the car. Later, it was established
that the car ran over a land mine.
A passing janitor, Jim Markin,
said he saw two men running across
an adjoining field after the explo-
sion.
"I was coming round a corner
when I heard a tremendous bang,"
he said. "I ran toward it and saw
two men sprinting across the fields.
One of them wore a blue hat."
He said police were on the scene
"within seconds."
The blast occurred just after the
ambassador's car came out of the
gates of the secluded mansion on the
southern outskirts of Dublin and into
Murphystown Road, en route to the
British Embassy about eight miles
away.
The car, a Jaguar, was thrown
Into the air and landed upside down
in the crater where the mine had
been buried.
Two Irish detectives were follow-
ing the ambassador in another car.
The blast shatter^.their windshield,
but they were not hint. Mi
The blast hurled rubble 100 yards
away. First estimates were that sev-
eral hundred pounds of explosives
had been used in the mine.
