House. SUN-DEMOCRAT, PADUCAH, KY. Reflectorized License Plates Cleared By Senate MARCH 12, 1970 THURSDAY, -A Bill Special To The FRANKFORT, March- 11 -The bill requiring reflectorized license plates for Kentucky motor vehicles -which passed the House 56-26 March 4-got another push towards final passage today. It was voted out by the Senate State Government Committee with an expression that it should pass. The plates will, according to Rep.
Lloyd Clapp of Graveslen County, who appeared before the committee in its interest, cost 19 to 20 cents more than plates cost now. The extra cost would be for materials to torize both the numerals the background of license plates. Clapp told the committee rearend accidents in states with reflectorized plates had been cut 66 per cent and that highway fatalities from such mishaps were down in the states by sevper cent. The bill has the blessing the Kentucky Department Safety, according to Fred H. Morgan of Paducah, House member ((22 years) who is a registered lobbyist working for passage of the plate bill.
Morgan said the department actually preferred that reflectorized plates be placed on both the back and front of Kentucky cars. Only back plates are required now.

The plane was released by Cuban authorities a short time later and flew to Miami. Those aboard included four persons who were forced by bad weath- to land their plane on the Communist island last Sunday.
Passengers said the gunman was a tall Negro dressed in black. Most said they were ware of the hijacking until pilot interrupted their breakfast with the announcement. They said the hijacker was accompanied by a woman and four small children. Dr. Thomas Croft of Cleve- Senate Signals Doom Of PN Bill (Continued From Page 1-C) Freeman urged senators "get on with the bill and lay it on the table where its backers may improve it." Sen.
Garrett and Sen. William Gentry of Georgetown spoke against the laying of the bill on the clerk's desk. Sen. Logan of Hopkins, Caldwell and Lyon Counties sharply attacked the bill itself. He probed at various provisions, calling them improper.
He said the strike provision is meaningless because teachers, as evidenced by their action during the session, think their right to strike "has been established de facto." Tenure, he said, is an It is to be assumed, he pointed out, that each side has some- New Prison Facility Is Likely (Continued From Page One) HB 646 went to the Appropriations and Revenue Committee on March 4 and was posted with that committee on March 6. It was reported out of that committee favorably and went to the calender Monday. It advanced to the Rules Committee Tuesday. Wingo said he has talked with state corrections officers and they appear to be optimistic about the passage of the bill. He noted, however, that the final decision would be left up to the voters.
The warden said the plans for a new prison are still on drawing board but estimated the costs would be around $10 million. He said such a facility would be used to house up 800 inmates serving sentences ranging from three to five years. He noted that presently there are about 500 of the 1,035 inmates at the maximum-security prison who will be leaving within three years. Wingo said one advantage of a medium-security facility would be that it would seperate inmates who can be rehibilitated from the hard- core criminal. "Right now we have inmates of all types and decriptions here and we just cannot possibly have a program for all of them that will put them back into society as useful citizens," he said.
He said if such a new facility were to be built, then the present prison could be used to handle the more harden criminals. The warden also said the new psychiatric care center at the prison is about 50 per cent completed and is expected to be in operation sometime in June. The $100,000 facility will be used to house 40-50 of the more critically mentally ill inmates at the prison. Included in the new center will be therapy units or rooms where inmates can receive extended care and treatment. The center is being built in the old No.

Other developments in the state government committee today included: -A lively argument over a Democratic bill to make a 000 study of Kentucky's tax structure. Sen.
Walter (Dee) Huddleston, land, Ohio, said when the plane landed in Havana, Cuban officials boarded and disarmed the hijacker in the co*ckpit. Officials said the four who had been stranded in Cuba since Sunday were Paul Kelsey, Mr. and Mrs. Gerard Ford and the Fords' 18-month-old son. An unidentified passenger said Kelsey told him bad weather forced him to land on a beach near Caibarien; Cuba, during a flight from Miami to Andros Island in the Bahamas.
Robert Holop of said passengers passed about five hours in the Havana Airport without incident. The FBI made no attempt to block the hijack during the refueling stop in Atlanta. "The passengers' and crew's safety has to come first," said Jack Keith, FBI agent in charge: Nine minutes after UAL Flight 361 1 departed Cleveland, Ohio for Georgia and Florida, Capt. P.E. Gallant radioed: 4T have a gun in my back and 1 would like a higher altitude now due to fuel considerations." Capt.
Gallant radioed that only the fuel crew in Atlanta would be allowed to approach the Boeing 727 and he said the plane's doors were not to be opened from the outside. The sleek trijet was held on the end of a runway half a mile from the terminal and fuel trucks drove out to it. Other planes on another runway continued normal takeoffs and landings. The jet had scheduled stops at Atlanta and Tampa, before terminating the flight at Palm Beach, Fla.

Mayfield Police To Receive FBI Training MAYFIELD, March 11- Mayfield Police Chief Cletus Sullivan said today that there will be a special training program for all members of the Mayfield Police Department on March 17, 18, and 19 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

Marshall Resident Draws Fine Here John Lawrence Bivins of Calvert City has been ordered by County Judge Andrew Palmer to pay a fine and costs of $113.50 on a charge in County Court of driving while intoxicated. All other traffic citations disposed of in County Court were for fines and costs of $28.50 on speeding tickets.

Sen. Edwin Freeman of Mercer County said, "we ought to be talking about saving money instead of spending money," but he voted for the favorable report after the debate. Hubbard at first voted no and then changed his vote to yes. "I am doing this in the hope that something good may out of the study." Earlier, Latta had chided Hubbard for being in favor of spending $60,000 for a Kentucky women's commission. In House action today: -A bill to raise the Kentucky minimum wage from 65 cents (oustide Jefferson County where it is 75 cents) to $1.30 cents passed the House.
The bill excludes domestic workers, farm hands and employes of restaurants who receive tips. -A bill which would place on the ballot next fall a constitutional amendment exempting people 65 or older from paying taxes on property up to $6,500 worth was sent to the Senate. The question, if the Senate concurs, will be one of two permit-1 majority leader of the Senate and sponsor of the bill, touched off the debate when he recommended spending $60,000 to correct wholesale inequities in the Kentucky tax laws. Sen. Carroll Hubbard of Kentucky questioned the cost of the study.
Huddleston said: "Yes, it will cost $60,000 but it could save $60 million." Republicans on committee were against the bill. Sen. Charles Upton of Williamsburg, a crusty former commonwealth's attorney, said he didn't need outside experts to come in and tell me Kentucky has to raise taxes." Sen. Wendell Van Hoose, Senate minority leader also vigorously opposed the measure. A Democrat from Floyd County, Sen.
Cliff Latta, said he felt sure Kentucky taxes would have to be raised in two years and Expelled Students Win Court Victory (Continued From Page One) In handing down his verdict, Gordon told the plaintiffs that if they desire fair treatment, they must give fair treatment. "You can't disrupt school environment. You have no constitutional right to disrupt the decorum or the scholastic atmosphere of the school," he said. Many of those present in the courtroom took the judge's statement as a form of admonishment to the students for staging a two-day boycott at the high school last month. Two of three plaintiffs in the suit were present at the court session including Ralph Fitzpatrick, 17, and Rodney Amos, 15.
Ray Milton Thomas, 17, the third plaintiff was not present in court. Thomas was expelled for allegedly talking disrespectfully to a school official. Gordon specified the ruling did not apply to Thomas, but that Thomas could return to school if he submits to being paddled three times, as prescribed by state law. A number of black and white students were suspended Feb. 2 for having mustaches which school officials claimed violated the dress code.
All except the 12 black students shaved and returned to school. Attorneys for the plaintiffs said they would return to court if further expulsions occurred because of the shaving dispute. Shawnee College Board Sets Date For Bond Sale ULLIN, Shawnee lege board of trustees has set May 6 as a tentative date to sell $3.5 million in bonds. The bond issue was approved by voters with more than a two-to-one margin vote in a referendum Feb. 28.
The bonds will be the local area's share of matching state funds for an estimated $8-mil-tions lion building program for a permanent campus and facilities. Representatives of the Illinois School Consulting Services, a financial consulting firm, ve told the board members the index for public bonds on sale last week was at 6 per cent. The representatives said their firm is selling public bonds at about a quarter to a half per cent less than the index. The consulting firm representatives are to meet with the Shawnee College board April 13 to prepare a maturity schedule for the bonds. In other business the Shawnee College board hired 41 for 17 polling places for board member election April 11.

South Union Of (Continued From Page One) States and he approves of many of the features of the Plan of Union which the delegates are discussing.
"What you do here is of enormous importance to the rest of the world. The effects of a real church union in the United States would have far-reaching effects on the whole Christian world, particularly in Asia and Africa." the bishop said. During sessions, in 12 smallgroup seminars and in two general meetings, the delegates provisionally approved of the 10 chapters of the proposed Plan of Union and spent some time in discussing three others. When they recessed Tuesday night, they had adopted Chapter and 1 Chapter 9 of the plan and had approved some portions of Chapters 2, 3 and 7. Chapter 1, entitled "To Begin Anew," is a statement of the fact that the nine denominations are covenanting together to form the new united church which is to be "catholic, evangelical and reformed." The last line of the chapter, which gives the name of the proposed new church was left open for further discussion.
The Plan of Union Commission has proposed the name, "The Church, of Christ Uniting." Many delegates do not like this name but so far, they have been unable to come up with another suggestion which wins any large segment of support.

Logan predicted that out-ofstate professionals would be brought in to bargain with boards of education who "are not professionals." Garrett moved to adjourn. Sen. Carroll Hubbard of Mayfield said he was not against the bill but didn't think one matter should cause adjournment in the critical. closing stages of the legislature.
The adjournment move lost 29-7. Sen. Henry Beach of Louisville sought by motion to have the bill held 1 over for special attention on Thursday. Garrett then moved the previous question which would have held the bill on the table and forestalled an anticipated motion for tabling it. He lost 25-13.
Then the motion to make the bill special for Thursday failed 26-10. Freeman, at that stage, attacked directly, moving to table the bill. They had strong support from the outset. Voting not to table the bill were Hubbard, Garrett, Sen. William Sullivan of Henderson and Sen.
McCuiston of Christian, Calloway and Trigg, whose committee vote last week freed the bill from committee. Logan voted yes on the tabling motion. No further action is expected on the PN bill in the Senate. The sponsor of PN House bill 215, a measure which also has been sharply amended, said he had "given up." "I've come to realize that it said Rep. Lloyd McKinney of isn't any use.
We're beaten," McKee, a schoolteacher who has been working on PN for five years and who sponsored the House bill that passed the House in 1968. "We'll just let it go," he said. "There is no hope of passing a PN bill in this session." McKinney said he planned to take no steps to move the bill at all in the House. This, unless conditions change sharply, means that the muchsought-after PN bill, a prized target of the Kentucky Education Association with its 30,000 teacher members, is dead. But backers promise to be back "stronger and more determined in 1972." Mrs.
