Hope Is Fading In Paper Strike
NEW YORK —(UPI)— Contract talks between publishers of nine New York city newspapers and striking printers today were in indefinite recess.
A joint session yesterday—the first since last week in the 34-day-old shutdown—between the International Typographical Union (ITU) and the New York Publishers Association (NYPA) ended with negative reports from the principals and a federal mediator.
"I can't report any real progress," said Stephen I. Schlossberg, a federal mediator who sat in on the talks. "I have adjourned them subject to my call. I have no idea when that will be."
Bertram Powers, president of local 6 of the ITU, saw less than no progress. "We're further apart than we were," he said. "We find the publishers are not yet ready to negotiate a contract."
In fact, Powers said, the publishers had presented a better offer before the strike than the one now being made. In a "series of backward steps," he said, the publishers had demanded surrender by the union of two provisions in the expired contract.
These, he said, concerned the use of outside tape in newspaper plants and the "bogus" rule, which provides for the setting of type not used in producing the paper.
Amory Bradford, NYPA president, confirmed that the publishers had asked for a reduction of "bogus" work and for the introduction of tape for automatic typesetting.
Calling the strike situation "no better or no worse," Bradford said the deadlock "can end only when the union agrees to a reasonable settlement which will allow all the newspaper to survive."

A third union—The New York Printing Pressmen's Union—continued joint talks yesterday with the publishers. Powers conceded that he felt "somewhat at a disadvantage" to have another union negotiating while he was striking.
Peace Corps Test Jan.26
The Peace Corps, looking for students with a wide variety of skills, will give a placement examination for prospective volunteers Jan. 26 in the Lawrence post office, 645 New Hampshire.
Robert Swan, Topeka junior and KU Peace Corps committee chairman, said the placement test is not competitive.
"You do not pass or flunk the examination," he said. "Rather the test helps the Peace Corps determine the overseas assignment for which applicants are best qualified."
To qualify, a student must be 18 years old and an American. Applicants do not have to be college graduates.
Students interested in taking the examination may pick up a questionnaire at the Peace Corps office in the Kansas Union or at the Lawrence post office.
Modern War Is Forum Topic
"The Nature of Modern Warfare" will be discussed by Charles Leone, professor of zoology, at the Current Events Forum at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Music room of the Kansas Union.
Prof. Leone is also a Lt. Col. in the U.S. Army reserve and serves as an instructor at the U.S. Army reserve school in Topeka, Kans., where he teaches Command and General Staff. He is also a graduate of the Command and General Staff college at Ft. Leavenworth, Kans.

P-T-P Tour to Leave Early Saturday
The People-to-People industrial tour to Leavenworth will leave from the Kansas Union at 7:45 instead of 9 Saturday morning as announced in yesterday's Kansan.
The bus tour which includes lunch with foreign student officers at the fort will return to Lawrence at 3 p.m.
An international People-to-People field representative today is interviewing 17 prospective participants for the P-t-P student ambassador program this summer.
'Ambassadors' Interviewed
Anne Graber, Hutchinson senior and co-chairman of the student ambassador committee, said her committee will make recommendations on each applicant to the representative, Gary Richards.
She said, however, that neither KU P-t-P nor the interview with Richards determines the selection of applicants. International P-t-P headquarters in Kansas City makes the final choice.
The "student ambassadors" will plan their own itineraries and will pay their own expenses.
