Police Union Bid Renewed WASHINGTON (AP) Law officers from a number of cities will meet here this week to launch a renewed drive for a national policemen's union under an AFLCIO charter. "The first and foremost thing is to take the policeman out of this second citizens' status and help him find his rightful place in the sun," said John Cassese, acting president of the International Brotherhood of Police Officers.

The won't claim the right strike, Cassese said in an interview, but "on the national scene, we'll seek to have collective bargaining rights. Also on the state level." Cassese called meeting here Friday of a founding group that met in Omaha, last November to write a proposed union charter. The Friday session will set a national convention sometime in May of police officers all over the country who want to form a nationwide union. AFL-CIO President George Meany last year turned down a bid from Cassese's group for a national AFL- -CIO charter pending a further showing of interest on a nationwide basis. Cassese thinks the May convention will provide that showing.

Cassese also has mailed the proposed union constitution to police officers across the country. "There's a no-strike clause in there," he said.

Some people store more static electricity than others. The family of a highly charged Briton hugs him after the working day only if he remembers to knock on metal before coming home. "I always touch the metal filing cabinet at the office," he says.

Auto Air -Pollution Conspiracy Suit Upheld Gazette-Times, Corvallis, Oregon, Monday, March 16, 1970 WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court declined unanimously today to speed school desegregation in Charlotte, N.C., via a massive busing plan.

The court gave no explanation as it rejected a request by civil rights lawyers for reinstatement of the busclassing order, entered Feb. 5. by Judge James B. McMillan but stayed March 5 by an appeals court. The rare setback for blacks, who have been consistently successful in pleas to the high court, probably means schools in the Charlotte- ecklenburg district will not be subject to deeper desegregation this school year.

The dispute is scheduled to be argued before the U.S. Circuit Court in Richmond, April 9. Judge McMillan's busing plan would have added at least 14,000 students to the 23,000 children already bused to school in Charlotte. They would have crisscrossed the city in a schoolpairing arrangement, averaging up to two and a half hours a day in transit. School officials had told the court they don't have the money to buy, the buses that would be needed.

Prior to today's ruling, the Supreme Court has methodically cut down efforts to delay desegregation. In this term it ordered full speed ahead in 30 Mississippi districts, 14 additional Southern districts, in Oklahoma City, and last Monday in Memphis. regular to. 37.50 $2495 ONE GROUP OF 34 SPORT COATS regular to 45.00 NOW $2995 Reg. regular to 55.00 $3495 35.00 to regular to 69.50 $4495 69.50 NOW SLACKS: Wool and Wool blends regular to 15.95 NOW 895 ONE GROUP JACKETS AND regular to 19.95 $1295 RAIN COATS ALSO INCL.
