4OTruckers Offer Raise 
 Local SOY CoIIs
 Farley to Discuss
 Lotest Proposal

New York, Sept. 17-(UP)-Par- tial settlement of the general truck ing strike, which has paralyzed freight movement in New York City for IT days, may come today.
 A mass meeting of 15,O0O members of Local 807 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (A.F.L.) called for 1 P. M. (EDT) will con- slider 8 new wage offer made by 40 major truckers.
 Acceptance of the plan, which calls for a $740 weekly wage boost and reduction of the work week from A hours to 40 will bring im- mediate resumption of newssprint of newsprint deliveries to many newspapers and food deliveries to some chain groceries.
 To Continue Against Remainder
 Union leaders said they were confident the men would accept the plan and sign independent con- tracts with the companies which made the offer, while continuing to strike against the remaining truck CTS.
 The teamsters original wage de- mand was for 30-cent-an-hour raise, and truck owners said that the new offer amounts to 31-cent boost.
 Meanwhile business and industry leaders gloomily predicted more shutdowns and unemployment ii the strike is not settled soon. More than 1,750,000 workers will be tenn porarily laid off by the end of this week.
 Majority Not to Sign A majority of the 20O0 struck trucking companies say they will not sign new contracts based on the $740 raise.
 Joseph M. Adelizzi, chairman o! the Employers Wage Scale Commit. tee, representing 90 percent of tn, truck owners, said the new plan wa. unsatisfactory and that separate contracts would not be signed bl the truckers he represents.

SoIinordi Admits Guilt In Perjury
 Gets Three Months;
 Two Companions
 Granted NoIIes

Already serving two jail sen- tences, Philip Salinardi, 49, of 123 Proctor Street. drew a third in Su- perior Court today when he pleaded guilty to a charge of perjury. Judge Thomas E. Troland imposed a sen- tence of three months.
 Two companions also facing pur- jury charges with Salinardi were granted nolles in accordance with a recommendation from States At torney William B. Fitzgerald, who said the charges would be difficult to prove. The duo, John R. Greene, 39, of g Goss Street, local cab driver, and Salvatore Apicello, 35, of 173 Baldwin Street, had pleaded not guilty last June.
 Salinardi is currently serving a six-month sentence, imposed in Superior Court last June on 8 pool-selling count, and a three month sentence imposed in Com- mon Pleas Court, also in June, on a charge of evading responsibility.
 Sentence Not to Be Concurrent
 The court ruled that today's sen tence will take effect on the expira- tion of the previous Superior Court sentence.
 It will be claimed by Salinardi that the June Superior Court and Common Pleas sentences are con- current, it was disclosed. Defense Counsel Irving Pasternak told the court habeas corpus proceedings will be instituted, if necessary, to back claim.
 Today's proceedings were the re- suit of the evasion charge made against Salinardi following an &C., cident April IT on Baldwin Street. Salinardi was charged with being the driver of car which struck a parked car and fence.
 Greene and Apicello backed Sal inardi in City Court and later at the appeal hearing in Common Pleas Court on his claims that he taken a taxi home. Greene said he did not drive that night but had drove the taxi, and Apicello said he was passenger.
 A SOIllIlO1l ElcdS SOu1U Ju1y uP held the City Court conviction, and Salinardi was charged with perjury as result of the Common Pleas Court testimony. The other two men were charged as a result of their testimony in City Court.
 Cites Statute Requirement
 Fitzgerald told the court today that no one saw Salinardi driving the car the night in question, al- though there was evidence that he was the driver. He pointed to stat ute requirements on witnesses, and said it would be difficult for the State to prove the charges of per jury.
 Salinardi's long court record, which included a conviction on murder and a life sentence, was cited by the prosecutor to Judge Troland, who told the accused the States Attorney was very con siderate' in his recommendation of the three month penalty.
 Salinardi, who was brought to court today from the New Haven County jail, was joined at the pris- oner's pen by his wife. The court was told durng the proceedings that Salinardi sustained should CT injury in an accident at the jail yesterday.

 C.1.O. spokesmen estimated that about l6 percent of the 1,200 ships idled by the strike are worked by AF.L. seamen and longshoremen. Forty of the nearly 400 idle ships in New York harbor are under SE.U. contract, Curran said.
 Tension Based
 The order to abandon picket lines around all but ships under contract to the striking CIO. unions, which include the N.M.U., the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union and the independent Marine and Firemen's Union, was issued by Joseph Cur ran, N.M.U. president. few hours after the A.FL. ordered its men back to work on their own ships at 6 A. M. today.
 Curran's action eased tf1e tension along the Atlantic and Gulf Coast waterfronts where police lines had been strengthened in anticipation of violence when the A.P,L. men at- tempted to return to work
 Previously the 'AF.L. men at
 kA tA xxynYK
 Previously the AFL had warned the C.1O. to call off its pickets from AF.L. ships by the 6 A. M deadline
 John Owens, executive secretary of the AFL's Maritime Trades De- partment, said the A.F.L. had de- cided to quite supporting the C.!.O' in the strike because the CLIO. dls- nute is strictly against the opera tors whereas the A.F.L. strike was against a government agency.
 A.F.L. Bucked Government
 The AFL. went on strike Is days ago to force the Government to revoke a wage stablllzatlol Board order resembling an increase of S225 and S27.50 month granted by the owners. The C1.O. oroereo its men out in sympathy. when He- conversion Director John R steer, man revoked the WISE order ana oranted the raise, the C1.O. lmme- diately went on strike for parity wages with A.F.L. seamen, who now are getting $5 to $50 more month than C.IO. members
 Owens said the AFL. would Ike to see the C.I.O. win it's strike ana pledged that A.FL unions would respect picket lines around Cl.O' ships.
 He also pledged that the AFL. would halt work on all ships II the Government took over the idle ves- sels. Neither will the A.F.L. handle ships reallocated because of the CI.O. strike, he said.
 Negotiations in the dispute were broken off Sunday night when the owners refused to hear union oe, mands until security watches hao been reposted on the struck ships. The operators also refused to nego- tiate until the union abandoned It's nolicy of hinging the settlement on the opening of negotiations between Pacific shipowners and the Marine Cooks and Stewards (CIOO ana the independent Marine Firemens Unions, both of which are a1fih- ated with the CI.O. Committee TOT Maritime Unity.
 The Pacific owners have refused to negotiate on the grounds that the strike is in violation of tne present contract with the M.C.S' and firemen.

Secondary Road Cost
Excessive In Hardin

Ohio's federally approved plan for
a postwar state secondary road sys-

secondary roads to any great extent
according to P. K. Strong, Hardin
County engineer.
To receive the state funds, Mr.
Strong said that it would be neces,
sary to tear up and regrade county
roads and that this would cost Local
taxpayers more than the present
plan of resurfacing and black,

He said, however, that the county
would take advantage of state funds
for the widening of five bridges.
