we aren't even telling them they can, we are only saying they can decide for themselves." As debate opened Wednesday sponsors counted only 48 votes, two short of passage in the 99 member House. During the one and one half hour debate the Rhodes administration turned on tne heat, calling at least seven hesitant lawmakers downstairs to encourage them to vote for the bill. Of all the metropolitan delegations, Hamilton County's remained the firmest all nine voting yes. Six of seven Franklin County representatives voted against the bill.

Page 62. The bill which passed the House Wednesday, the third try in three consecutive sessions, was a study in compromise. It was designed by sponsors to placate most previously voiced objections, to permit law-makers even from dry areas to vote for the bill in sound conscience.

The local opion election provision probably was the ingredient which made the mixture digestible. In the 99 member House, 50 votes are needed for passage. It got 50 votes. Other compromises were two forms of Sunday sales made available either wide open or restricted to hotel and restaurants and reduction of the fees for special Sunday permits. Thirty other states have legal sales on Sunday; eight have passed it in the past two years.

Others, such as Kentucky, loosely enforce the Sunday blue laws. Rural lawmakers opposed the legislation here Wednesday in claiming It would increase weekend traf-fice accidents. Rep. Lloyd George Kerns Raymond) called it "death by moderation." He said "staistics show that in more than half of the traffic fatalities in this nation, one of the other drivers had been drinking enough that it impaired his driving ability." Contrary to testimony presented in the House State Government Committee by Cincinnati and Cleveland officials and citizens groups, Rep. Robert Netzley Laura) said, "This bill would not bring one convention to our state, nor will it create jobs, except in our police departments." Rep.

John A. Bechtold Cincinnati) said, "All we are doing is giving the voters of these areas a right villages, townships or adjoining precincts within the political subdivision. Legislative reapportionment ordered by the Supreme Court to guarantee equal representation in the "legislature for airohlo citizens was expected to shift control of the General Assembly from small town, rural legislators, to suburban-urban lawmakers. The shift was late in coming. For in the 107th Assembly, the first truly apportioned Ohio Legislature, Sunday sale was again defeated, but narrowly.

It is an Issue regarded as the test of strength between rural and urban interests. Passage of the controversial legislation in the House, however, does not assure it will clear the Senate. Sen. Michael J. Maloney (RH Cincinnati) said the bill's future in the upper chamber is "shaky." It must be referred to the Elections, Commerce and Labor Committee, where Chairman Robin Turner Marion) is a vocal opponent.

There are four sure "yes votes" on Turner's committee and three sure "noes." Dayton Republican Senator David Holcomb may hold the key vote in the committee, which must approve the bill before it can be scheduled for a floor vote. Holcomb said he opposes Sunday sales, but his opposition is not firm. He said he likes the provisions which permit sales on Sunday only by local option election and would consider the bill on that basis as being con--sistent with the state's home rule tradition. Holcomb also said he would not vote to kill the bill in committee, but would oppose it on the floor. Labor curse with equal fervor and fine impartiality both labor and its adversaries when they become locked in deadly embrace." One concession Lewis made to age was to give up his practice of driving to work daily.

Until a few Soviet, Chinese Troops In New Border Clash BY WARREN D. WHEAT Enquirer Bureau Chief COLUMBUS The cornstalk brigade, its ranks weakened by legislative reapportionment four years agor finally relinquished control of the Ohio House of Representatives here Wednesday. But not without a valiant last stand. The rural legislators rolled out their mightiest weapons and marched through the House, but were unable to block passage of legislation permitting sale of liquor by the drink on Sunday if approved by local option elections. The vote was 50 to 45.

It was the first real defeat suffered by the rural lawmakers who under the title "cornstalk brigade' have dominated the General They successfully defeated similar bills in the past two sessions of the General Assembly. The new legislation was sored by Rep. Richard Hollington Cleveland), Cincinnati Republicans John A. Bechtold, Thomas Pottenger, Gordon Scherer and Cincinnati Democrat William Bowen. IT WOULD PERMIT cities, villages or townships to vote on one of two forms of Sunday sales either only by hotels and restaurants or by all taverns and bars that pay a special permit fee.

The question could be placed on the ballot by petition signed by 15 of the voters who voted for governor the past election in cities, peare's "Romeo and Juliet," uttered a "plague on both your houses."

It said Moscow holds Peking "responsible for the serious consequence of these provocations." Peking in its protest contended the Russians were trying to "provoke still larger armed conflicts' and said the incident is "developing." The Russians suggested the Chinese were trying to disrupt the world Communist conference meeting In Moscow minus China and efforts to settle disputed border lines. The Soviet note did not mention any casualties or say how many troops were Involved.

The new border flareup was the first to be confirmed by Moscow since the March battles on the Ussuri River. Peking claimed Soviet troops backed by tanks crossed into Slnklang Province and killed one Chinese woman shepherd and kidnaped a fellow herdsman. The Soviet Foreign Ministry contended Peking "grossly distorted events" and "organized.a provocation." The Soviet note gave this detail: "A herdsman with a flock of sheep was used by the Chinese authorities as before, to cover up this latest adventure.

We're First! NEW YORK CT) The Russians rarely concede firsts to anyone, particularly Americans, but in the case of basketball, it's another story. "The United States invented the game, so it's no shame learning from them," said Aleksandr Gomel-skiy, head coach of the Soviet National basketball team. The coach and the team arrived Wednesday for an eight-game tour that begins Saturday at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, r.f:f."::-4ig"-l lp i MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Union and Communist China accused each other Wednesday of provoking a central Asian border incident involving a small clash between their troops.

The mine workers Joined the AFL In 1946 but left the next year in a battle over compliance with the new Taft-Hartley Law.

"Thou shall not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn," Lewis said in a Bible-quoting speech. The new law, he thundered, would muzzle labor as It "treadeth out the economic corn of our country." At the time of the UMW pullout, Lewis pictured the AFL as attempting to advance across the plains of America led by "fat and stately asses." But Lewis, who loved a good fight, was willing to meet old foes on friendlier ground. He and Harry Truman, once bitter adversaries, until a few years ago had lunch together when the former President was in town. Born into a family of Welsh coal-miners February 12, 1880, in Lucas, Iowa, Lewis quit school in the seventh grade to drive mules In the mines. But his ability and ambition quickly carried him out of the pits and under the wing of AFL president Samuel Gompers.

4 Dr. Marcel Foret said death came at 7:15 p. m. EDT. Lewis had been hospitalized since Sunday.

The doctor said the exact nature of his illness was not known, pending an autopsy. To many Americans he was an almost legendary figure. To others he was a tyrant, an object of fear and hatred. The longtime president of the United Mine Workers of America and first president of the Congress of Industrial Organizations retired nine years ago as head of the mine workers. But for years afterward, he put in five full days a week in his nonpaying job as head of the UMW pension fund.

The famous bushy eyebrows and unruly hair were white at the time of his death and the organ voice had diminished. There were echoes of the man who defied President Roosevelt. During a dispute between the steel industry and the CIO shortly before the President sought his third term, President Roosevelt became angry with both sides in the dispute and, borrowing a line from Shakes Dont ANN ARBOR, Mich.
