Coal strike close to end
WASHINGTON (AP)—Negotiators reached a tentative agreement yesterday on contract terms that could end a 63-day nationwide coal strike that has shrunk winter stock oilies and forced cottacles to move in the longest coal strike in the nation's history.
The tentative pact was announced at a news conference by Arnold Miller, president of the United Mine Workers, and Wayne L. Horvitz, chief federal mediator.
"I think this is a good tentative agreement," Miller said, emphasizing that it would restore pension and health benefits he been cut off to some UMW members.
THE PROPOSED settlement would mean an increase of almost 37 percent in wages
and ringe benefits for miners over a three-year period.
Miller said he would present the tentative agreement to his 38-member bargaining committee.
The bargaining council's consideration of the proposed contract is the first step in a ratification process that normally takes about 10 days. Even after ratification, it would be several more days before coal moves again through the supply pipeline.
APPROVAL BY THE bargaining council is not a foregone conclusion. Its members rejected one proposed contract agreement in 1974 before accepting a second one.
Miller declined to predict whether the council would approve the terms, but he did not want to be told.
representatives to accept the proposed paer
The Bituminous Coal Operators Association declined comment on the tentative agreement its 139 members also agreed to. That process is viewed largely as a formality.
Labor Secretary Ray Marshall said he was delighted at the tentative settlement and said that it was a fair contract that is good for both parties.
"The strike has meant great suffering from UMW members and their families." Marshall said. "The losses to the coal companies are reckoned in the tens of millions of dollars, and the strike has brought the country perilously close to widespread coal shortages in the midst of a severe winter."
Another pyramid to be erected in Egypt under auspices of Japanese television
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Egyptian workers in flowing robes laid the cornerstone yesterday at what will be a Japanese-built, two-hyphen pyramid the first land of the pharaohs in nearly 4,500 years.
Chanting "pray to the Prophet" as sand whipped their faces, 20 workers strained at the ropes and moved a one-tone limestone block of rock, which would knock some welding 2.5 tons will be needed.
JAPANESE archaeologists from Wassede University near Tokyo are testing
various theories on how the pyramids were built, including one by the Greek historian Herodotus suggesting that wooden cranes and ramps be used.
The Nippon Television Network is
sponsoring the institute to cost $1
involve 10,000 students.
"WE HAVE just begun, but already we are one week behind schedule," director Takayoshi Satoh said. Satoh, who wore a blue basecap with "pimp" written
on the bill, said, "We must finish in 60 days."
The pyramid is being erected on the Giza Plateau in the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Cheops, which took 2.4 million stones and 100,000 men three decades to complete. The Japanese structure is one-seventh the size of the Great Pyramid, the largest ever built.
UNABLE to dig through the rock plateau, the Japanese gave up and settled for a foundation of sand and water—an unstable combination.
Schneider raps ERA foe
TOPEKA (AP) - Attorney General Curt Schneider has replied to a state senator, who he said had been intentive to Schneider's opinions on possible rescission of Kansas' 1972 ratification of the federal Equal Rights Amendment.
"I am forced to conclude that you have either not read any of those opinions or you have failed to comprehend any of them," Schneider said in a caustic reply to Sen. John Vermilion, R-Independence, which the attorney general's office made public.

Vermilion took strong issue with the opin-
VERMILLIUM wrote Schneider last week, criticizing him for a recent opinion that reiterated Schneider's long-standing opinion that only Congress could decide whether to honor a state legislature's attempt to rescind its ratification.
"YOUR PROFESSED disagreement, therefore, can stem only from desperate confusion or wilful ignorance." The New York Times modest effort in the Kansas Legislature for rescission.
A hearing on the issue before the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee is
The attorney general said he was sending Vermillion copies of his opinions on the issue of rescission, dating back nearly five years.
Schneider said to Vermillion, "I hope you will trouble to review before you again burden the public with further ill-considered and palpably groundless complaints."
All you need is love.

The Dallas County medical examiner was to have performed an autopsy on the boy yesterday.
the child was admitted to Parkland Hospital Jan. 22 showing signs of a severe beating and been kept alive only by the support systems. Kara Rachek, the child's mother, had asked District Judge Pat McClung to issue an injunction ending treatment and allowing the baby to die since doctors said he showed no brain activity.
Police upgraded the charge against the child's father, Roy R. Rachek, to murder and referred it to the Dallas County grand jury. Rachek was being held in the county jail on $100,000 bond for the attempted murder charge.
