Monday. November 15. 1976, Santa Maria, Times-3 Aulo workers, 1M coming New investigation in Kennedy death lo 8lrlk DETROIT (UPI) The United Auto Workers and General Motors Corp. have less than four days to resolve several key contract issues and avoid a second auto industry strike. Both sides have indicated several times since a strike deadline was set last Monday they could avoid a walkout by 390,000 workers that would be unprecedented following the 28 day shutdown at the Ford Motor Co.

But labor observers indicated several tough issues remained to be settled by the 12:01 a.m. Friday deadline. Sources indicated the negotiating teams have not really tackled a key union demand for a company pledge not to interfere with organizing efforts in six new southern plants employing about 3.000 workers. The issue of GM's so-called "Southern Strategy" probably will not be resolved until the bargainers are faced with the possibility of an imminent walkout, sources said. At the same time, another 118,000 UAW members in the United States and Canada began voting today on the tentative agreement that averted a strike against the Chrysler Corp.

The results are expected late Wednesday. Even if the UAW and GM reach agreement on the final labor contract for the automotive "Big Three," the No. 1 automaker faces the threat of numerous individual plant shutdowns that could cripple production. Just 28 of 143 bargaining units have local contracts to supplement a national pact. How much will do it for you? i.

I if 'Sik 1 Jamie, 5, knew his time was short SHERMAN, Tex. (UPI) Jamie Thomas had some heavy information for a 5-year-old child. He knew he was going to die. "I think he knew before we even mentioned it," said Harold Karr, the boy's stepfather. "About three months ago Jamie asked us, 'Am I going to We told him the truth." Jamie had leukemia.

Saturday he watched his family build a snowman from a rare autumn Texas snowstorm. That night he died. The child had been in almost constant pain recently. Drugs helped, but they had to be administered every two hours. "We told him that when he died there would be no pain, no harm, no hurt, and that he could play all the time," said his mother, Duana.

Everyone knew Jamie would not live to see Christmas. There were plans made for Santa Claus to visit the dying child, but death came much quicker. Karr said Jamie confessed he was scared, "but we tried to make him look forward to it, to make it as rosy as possible." Karr and his wife took Jamie to the cemetery and let him pick out a headstone. "For a while he didn't want to be buried," Karr said. "He didn't want to be put inhe ground.

We kept on talking to him about heaven and God and things of this sort." Jamie acquiesced and accepted his fate. "The doctors didn't give up until three weeks ago," Mrs. Karr said. "We knew it was coming, but it still hurts. Wg always had hope." Jamie's spirits were buoyed by the thought of meeting his friend Ronnie in heaven.

Ronnie, also a leukemia patient, died three weeks ago at age 7. The boys had adjoining beds in a San Antonio hospital. 1 Jamie said that when he died he wanted to take Ronnie a present, a stuffed animal called "Tigger." "He said that when he goes he wants to have two new Tiggers," his mother said, "one for him and one for Ronnie." back in air Wednesday LOS ANGELES (UPI) Continental's idled "proud bird" fleet will be flying the skies as early as Wednesday if new work contracts are signed this week by airline pilots who walked off their jobs 24 days ago. Weekend discussions between representatives of the nation's seventh largest air carrier and the Air Line Pilots Association, representing the 1,086 striking pilots, ended with a tentative agreement to resume operations. An airline spokesman said all that remains to get Continental in the air are signatures on the new contract hammered out last week and signatures on the back-to-work agreement.

ALPA spokesman Bruce Plowman said flights could resume Wednesday, "and if not then, certainly this week, unless something unforeseen occurs." He said the agreements would be signed "early this week" in Miami, where the ALPA negotiating team was attending a convention. Details of the contract proposals and the back-to-work- agreement were not disclosed. The major controversy was over the union's demand that the airline hire more pilots to spread the workload, which Continental said would bankrupt it. A Mi IVm I 2 WASHINGTON (UPI) The newly formed House Select Committee on Intelligence met for its first formal session today, confronted with new evidence indicating that Cuban Premier Fidel Castro knew in advance that Lee Harvey Oswald intended to kill President John F. Kennedy.

The 11-member panel was formed by the House Sept. 17, with Rep. Thomas N. Downing, as chairman to start new investigations into the assassinations of Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today's closed, session was called primarily for the final selection of investigators and staff so that the panel can get down to work in earnest when the new Congress convenes in January. Its main task is to try to find out if conspiracies were involved, contrary to the findings of previous investigating commissions and committes that Lee Harvey Oswald and James Earl Ray acted solely on their own in the killing of Kennedy 13 years ago this month in Dallas and of King in 1968 at Memphis. CIA documents released last March under a Freedom of Information action revealed that a defector told the agency that Oswald may have been in contact with Cuban intelligence officers seven weeks before killing Kennedy. The memo was said to have been forwarded to the Warren commission investigating the assassination in 1964, but it was not pursued. The commission, headed by the late Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren, concluded that Oswald acted alone in carrying out the president's murder.

Further details of possible Cuban knowlewdge of Oswald's plot were reported by the New York Times Sunday on the basis of a memo which has now come to light and which is now in the hands of the assassination committee. The CIA informer is said to have reported that he learned of Oswald's assassination plan from Castro himself. Oswald is known to have visited the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City shortly before the Dallas killing. The assassination committee is also expected to pursue evidence that surfaced early this year that the CIA once considered using Oswald as an information source when he was living in the Soviet Union, where he married a Russian woman. Oswald had renounced his American citizenship but later changed his mind, received his passport back in unusually short time under the circumstances, and returned to the United States with his wife, Marina, who has since remarried.

The CIA's consideration of using Oswald while he was in the Soviet Union conflicted with sworn testimony by former CIA director Richard Helms before the Warren Commisssion that "there's no material in the Central Intelligence Agency, either in the records or in the mind of any of the individuals that there was any contact had or even contemplated with" Oswald. Helms, who went to Tehran as U.S. ambassador after bring relieved of his CIA post in 1963, tendered his foreign service resignation as of the end of this year. It was regarded likely that he may be called as a witness before the assassination committee when he returns to the United States early next year. mmtmmSmmmmmmt IWiitiMaj jm Hit We find ways to help.

(UPI) It was only a two-hour honeymoon and Michael Crisp, 29, and Kathy King, 26, had to spend it in front of a jail matron. The couple was married Saturday in the city jail because the groom is a convicted murderer.

A jury found Crisp guilty last Tuesday of first-degree murder in the April 11 shooting death of John Joslin. Delaware Superior Court Judge Mario Pieroni waived the usual three-day waitng period for the Muncie couple, because they apparently wished to be wed before the groom was sentenced. His sentencing is due shortly. The ceremony was performed in a hallway of the jail building. The couple were allowed their limited privacy in one of the building's rooms.

The slaying occurred in the house of one of Crisp's former girlfriends. She found her house had been broken into when she returned home, so she asked Joslin to help her see what was amiss. Joslin was armed, but Crisp was too. and shot him. Santa Maria 608 E.
