Contrasts With 1967 Program Apparent
National Affairs
Head Start Plan Going Well
Steel Union
Ifalks Tough
••^PITTSBURGH (AP) — Top negotiators tor ihe Unit-
ed*Steelworkers union report ihai money talks toward a
nfttv labor contract in the steel industry are ai a stand,
sttttwith only three weeks before the deadline.
• “All we gel from the companies are stories about
how poverty stricken they are." President I W. Abel
toid the first big caucus of the current bargaining
Wednesday.
{♦"We mean business." he said. “I think it would be
frigEsh of the steel industry in doubt that. We closed
dtikcn copper for S' - months."
• However. Abel told representatives of the nation's
439:000 basic steelworkers that it was still too early to
teftwhether a strike would be necessary.
• “I imagine it will go right down to the wire as al-
ways with us bickering like the dickens to the last min-
ut£,” Abel said.
Without saying so, Abel indicated he expected local
union presidents to go back and get the rank and tile
reSdly for an overwhelming vote in favor of a strike as
the August 1 contract expiration nears.

“Project Head Start,"
which was halted before
completion last summer,
apparently is in no trouble
this year.
The Oklahoma County
program, funded by the
Office of Economic Oppor-
tunity. has 806 pre-kinder-
garten children enrolled at
11 centers, and has passed
the halfway point of its 8-
week term.
Unlike last year, no
rumblings of policy
changes arc evident. Per-
sons connected with the
program for low income-
family children think
there's no danger of OFIO
officials stopping federal
funds, an o c c u r r e n c e
which whacked two weeks
off the 1067 summer ses-
sion.
Dr. Mervel Lunn. assist-
a n t superintendent of
Oklahoma City public
schools, who helped plan
the city program, said this
summer's atmosphere is
quite different from 1067.
st year, there were
rumblings that changes
would he made by OEO, so
I can't honestly say we
didn't anticipate them,''
Dr. Lunn said.
"But this year's differ-
ent. We have had no indi-

I WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of Defense Clark
»M. Clifford, in what amounted to a rebuke to Adm. II> -
•man G. Kickover, disclosed Thursday he has authorized
•construction of a super, high speed l'. S. submarine.
J Kickover, the navy's nuclear submarine expert, had
Jjaharply criticized Pentagon officials recently for holding
“tip his own concept of a new sub, one which would oper-
ate with gr-’at stealth and quiet.
£ Clifford, however, announced Thursday that on July
5j he had chosen the advance design hacked h.v his chief
3*cientist, Dr. John S. Foster jr., and Alain Enthoven, his
Jjaystems analyst.
v At the same time, without specifically naming him,
^Clifford suggested that Kickover direct his effort* more

When local Head Start
officials failed to comply,
OEO slopped funds.
Chief OEO criticisms of
Oklahoma City's program
reportedly were lack of
parental involvement and
failure 1o integrate certain
children in two northeast
schools.
Dr. Lunn said it would
havp been difficult and im-
practical to transfer the
students from the areas
mentioned.

His statements were in
testimony prepared for the

He said that since rati-

"presidents have frequent-

incumbent served until his

This is the closest we could come
to a wood shingle root
Ife the closest wed want to come.
Wood shake roofs are pretty.
Roofs with Ruberoid* Timberlme’" shingles are pretty,
safe and strong.
That's because Timberline shingles took just like wood
but perform a lot better.
They're fire resistant, wind resistant, won't split,
give no maintenance problems and have a long, long life.
Yet they have a staggered double-layer construction
and deep texture to give an authentic wood shake look.
Timberline shingles show you have the good taste to
like wood and the good sense to buy something safer
Ask your roofer or building materials dealer about
Tim berime shingle*. Or contact:

Next: How Parents Help
)u miner
triels have been changed
to allow different black-
white proportions, and the
parental involvement is a
point of pride with local
head start officials.
Although OEO provided
$213,363 and local funds
added $67,765 more, the
program's parental in-
volvement would not have
been possible without Ti-
tles I and III funds from
the Elementary and Sec-
ondary Education Act. Dr.
Lunn said.
Some parents are volun-
teer workers. They make
doll clothes. supervise
meals and make puppets.
Others are paid as teacher
aides, community workers
or social worker aides.
About $191.6111) of the
OEO grant is used in Okla-
homa City, the rest going
to Choctaw, which has its
own program. Slightly
