MEDINA JOURNAL-REGISTER WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1972 Papers WASHINGTON (UPI) - The per Pay Board ordered wage cuts Tuesday for nearly 23,000 em- ployes of New York City news- and commercial print- ers. The Price Commission sched- uled price reductions for t h e firms to reflect the lower pay scales. The Pay Board cut 11 per cent wage increases back to 8 West Point Has Civil _ War 'Ghost' _ WEST POINT, N.Y. (UPD) -- Honesty code aside, officials at West Point speculate that recent reports of a mustachioed ghost strolling through cadets' quarters armed with a Civil War musket may be just a prank. A spokesman at the U.S. Military Academy said two . cadets reported the unearthly visitor a few days after a woman gave a lecture on the supernatural. The ghost, wearing a massive - handlebar mustache, supposed- ly visited the cadets' room shortly before midnight, toured with his musket as if on an inspection and then departed through a nearby wall-without so much as a salute. According to the spokesman a cadet captain spent thg‘ next night in the room and didn't see a thing. But, another cadet, ordered to spend a night in the room just as a check on the junior captain, claims he saw 211i; eerie igure, musket and West Point \has had a long history of ghosts,\ the spokes- man said. But he cautiously added, \This is the biggest rumor mill in the world. Cadets are not supposed to lie but they sure can tell some whoppers.\ CARNIVAL Ordered T cent for 12,212 editorial and backshop employes of the New York Times, Daily News, and Post, and the Long Island Press, and 11,575 employes of about 300 commercial printing firms in the New York City area. Excepted were reporters and other editorial workers represen- ted by the Newspaper Guild at the Long Island Press. They were given their full 11 per cent raises because their in - creases were not due to go into effect until next January, nearly a year later than the three other o Cut Wages newspapers. All the other wage increases already had gone into effect, but the pay board said employ- es would not be required to re- fund the excess wages above the 8 per cent increases they already had received. The Price Commission order- ed the Times to reduce its advertising rates by 1.69 per cent and the News to cut its rates by 1.14 per cent. T h e commission said the Post, Press and the commercial printers would be ordered later to make similar reductions to compen- sate for the lower labor costs. Gun Battle Halts Fleeing Bandits GREENSBORO, N.C. (UPI) -Two bandits fled from a surrounded bank with six hostages Tuesday and led a cavalcade of police cars on a fruitless search for a getaway plane before being captured in a roadblock gunbattle. FBI agent Victor Holdren was wounded in the left arm and three of the hostages and one of the bandits were slightly injured when the fleeing car crashed into an FBI car at the roadblock. . The suspects, Bobby Charles McManus, 30, of Atlanta, and Stanley Eugene Crawford, 24, of Greensboro, were hauled before a U.S. commissioner early today and jailed under $100,000 bond each on bank robbery charges. © \We're thanking God that we got those people out of the car,\ said police Maj.

Police had promised them safe conduct to the local airport and said a jetliner would be waiting to take them wherever they wanted to go. Davenport was forced to bring a money sack containing an unknown quantity of the bank's money, which was later recovered. At the airport, the floodlight- ed runways were empty. Officer W. O. Yokeley said \'they stayed for 35 minutes, driving around the runways and taxiways.\ , The gunmen then drove west to Winston-Salem on Interstate 40, abruptly turned around and drove through Greensboro, tak- ing Interstate 85 toward Dur- ham with a convoy of police and - FBI cars and two helicopters following. , _ Officers Wait Patiently Officers waited patiently at Kernersville, between Green- sboro and Winston-Salem, as the bandits filled the car with gas at a service station. The Highway Patrol massed a solid wall of patrol cars across the four lanes and the median of 1-85 near the town of Hillsborough, with a total of about 50 cars either following the bandits or gathered at the roadblock. | Authorities said the convoy, traveling about 70 miles an hour, slowed as the gunmen approached the roadblock. The getaway car, headed east, swerved across the median only to be met by more patrol cars. The vehicle then spun back across the median as two Highway Patrol vehicles de- liberately sideswiped the station wagon before it plowed into an FBI vehicle. Witnesses said about cight « shots were fired before the two gunmen gave up. Geneseo F0 ire GENESEO, N.Y.

Tonawanda Case .; By ROBERT W. NOBLE ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI) - Now in the hands of a State Supreme Court justice is the case of a western New York high school official who proposed sex edu- cation programs in his conserva- tive community and was even- tually replaced by the local school board. A two - day trial on the leg- ality of the dismissal of Abra» ham Cutcher, the former direct- or of secondary education in North Tonawanda, ended here Tuesday before Justice John T. Casey of Troy. Casey reserved his decision, and said it would probably take two or three Police Suspicious In Deaths of Woman, 2 Children STEVENS POINT, Wis. (UPI) -Last March a car driven by Elizabeth Berna plunged into the Wisconsin River. Mrs. Berna and two of her children escaped, but a third child drowned. On Monday, another car driven by the 28-year-old mother again plunged into the Wisconsin River, at the same location of the accident eight ' Friot months to come, since the attor- neys in the case asked for writ- ten transcripts and said they intended to file briefs with him. Cutcher had been in the ad- ministrative post for 11 years when the board, in what it says was an economic move, consoli- dated three top positions and he was released. Cutcher lost an appeal with State Education Commissioner Ewald B, Nyquist but still contends his dismissal was illegal and that it violat- ed his tenure and retirement benefit rights. Dr. Maurice Friot, superinten- dent of schools, denied several times in testimony that he had been ordered by the school board to arrange the new posi- tion in such a way that Cutch- er's tenure would not be applic- able, and that the board had combined Cutcher's job and two other positions with the sole purpose of getting him out of : <the district. Defense attorney Warren Rad- ler then brought in a final re- buttal witness, Assistant U. S. Attorney Philip Abromowitz of the Western District of New York, who was an attorney on the case when it was argued before Nyquist. Abromowitz said called him to his office and admitted being told to jug- months ago. This time, Mrs.-Zle figures and combine jobs to Berna and the two children who escaped the first accident were drowned. \It just looks suspicious,\ Stevens Point police detective Fred Engebretson said Tues- day, after authorities ordered lab tests on the bodies. Engebretson said Monday's: accident occurred at the same SDCC spot and about the same time of day as the first accident. He said Mrs. Berna and the children also were wearing some of the same clothing which was worn during the first accident. ' Authorities today were await- ing the results of lab tests being conducted at University Hospital in Madison. | . Hospital reports said Mrs. Berna and her two children- Brian, 5, and Michelle, 3- drowned. In the accident March £ 14, 15-month-old Bruce Berna drowned. |- Engbretson said there was no indication the auto had skidded or attempted to brake Monday. Police said Mrs. Berna's husband, Robert, told them he - last saw his wife and children | about 6 a.m. Monday when she | fixed him breakfast. > _. Police said. she told her husband before he left for work that she \planned to do some sewing.\ | - > Berna told police his wife \had been very depressed after they lost their child last March, but that her spirits had been better for the last two months | or so.\ DINNERS SERVED . . . for all the support from Orleans County.
