Tribune Cancels All-Star Game
The game's sponsors appeared to place much of the blame for the cancellation on the NFL. Players' Association, the union of veteran players that went on strike July 1.
Cooper Rollow, chairman of the Chicago Tribune Charities, sponsors of the All-Star Game, said at a news conference that the decision to call off the game was taken yesterday after the players' union failed to give "it's full play" in playing 38 of the game. The game was scheduled for July 28 against the Super Bowl champion Miami Dolphins.
The decision to call off the game will cost outbuilders in the Chicago area an estimate $200,000. It will also lose
The cancellation also will cost Miami Dolphin veteran players an estimated $175,000.
“Our veterans deserved the trip to Chicago,” Don Shula, the Dophina coach, said in Miami. Shula said he would probably move back the reporting date for his veteran players. It had been scheduled for this Sunday, and the game came two days after the All-Stars voted not to play in it unless the strike by NFL veterans was settled by them.

Space Shuttle Expense Scandalous
$200 Billion Tow Truck Yields No Economic Payback

Garbage Overload Causes Delays

War material excepted, almost every other kind of makework scheme has at least some economic payback, but here we are paying people to take our cars, our hospital beds and our lamb chops, pile all that wealth into a rocket and fire it out of the solar system. There is a challenge in building a spacecraft that has built its culture around the destruction of perfectly useful goods, but even anthropologists have always thought them a mite peculiar.

If you've noticed that your garbage has not been picked up this week and you're wondering why, don't panic. There is an explanation and it is partly your fault.
Five of Lawrence's eight packer trucks broke down Tuesday.
One of the main reasons that the trucks break down is heavy loads such as big trees, stoves, refrigerators and furniture. Bob Stevens, a consultant for the sanitation department, said Tuesday.
These heavy loads have been picked up since Lawrence began a bulk pick-up operation last year. The city was divided into two sections, a section receiving bulk pick-up each week.

Herron said that even though the compressing units on the packer trucks were made of high carbon steel, one of the strongest steels made, they couldn't withstand the pressure of a large tree or an excessively heavy load.
As an alternative to using the packer trucks for bulk pick-up, Herron suggested the exclusive use of flatbed trucks, which currently being used on a part-time basis.
THE USE of the flatbed would considerably lessen the wear on the packer trucks. Herron said. Presently, the only use for flatbed trucks was occasionally from another department.
George Williams, works director, said that even though a one-and-a-half-lit flatbed truck was on the city's budget next year, not enough heavy equipment was picked up to warrant the cost of using flatbed exclusively for bulk pick-up.
Williams said that most of the garbage packed up could be handled by the packer trucks and, because most of the garments are made in China, a waste of money and gas to run flatbeds.
Williams said that there was constant use of the packer trucks and that careless use by the operators was one possible reason for the breakdown.
JIM WILLIAMS, who manages the sanitation department with Earl Cheeks, agreed with Heron that the packer trucks should not be used for bulk pick-up.
"There hasn't been a day that I've worked here that we haven't had at least one truck breakdown, and we've got only two mechanics down here. We need more mechanics and more equipment to keep these trucks in working order," he said.
The city is currently planning the construction of a central maintenance garage to help alleviate the problems in repairing all city vehicles. George Williams said.

Delays in phone installation for incoming fall students could result from a strike by employees of Southwestern Bell Telephone and Communication workers of America.
Telephone Company Strike Possible; Talks Underway
The current contract with the CWA ends July 14. Unless an agreement is reached before then, non-management employees of the former Bell will have the option of striking.
Contracts covering nearly 750,000 Bell System telephone workers begin expiring next week, and union sources said yesterdays prospect for a settlement appear gloomy.
"Some issues remain unsettled," he said.
But I want to stress that both parties are working on solutions.
Carter said both the union and the telephone company agreed not to air differences publicly while negotiations continued.
Ed Carter, northeast district manager for the telephone company, said yesterday that negotiations were still underway and that he hoped a settlement would be reached.
If the strike occurs, Lawrence residents, and especially incoming students, could experience a significant delay in getting phones installed, according to Carter.
Carter said that during a strike, measures such as encouraging direct dialing and taking only emergency orders would ease the workload.
would take a "really long" strike to interfere with a installation of phones for internet use.
One employee of the phone company, who asked to remain anonymous, said that during a strike only emergency orders would be installed. The employ indicated that service for students would be virtually available as long as the installers were off the job.
Carter would give no prediction but said it
