manager for the past seven months" Slankard said The city hall em- ployees get straight time. but put in a good deal of overtime, he add ed.
 Slankard ended his speech with the discouraging status Of city fi- nanees. The current balance in the general fund is S49. .446.88. After the next payroll. there will be about s25.000 left. It simply cannot stand the strain of any more overtime.
 The city manager stated that, al- though the men were now limited to a 40-hour week. they received many benefits. including nine paid holidays, one day per month sick leave, and one day per month paid vacation. He said that the workers were also free to petition the city council for workman's eompensa- ton and health and welfare bene- fits. but that these could not be considered until the budget was be- ing drawn up in November.
 The Workmen get straight time wage of 42 cents less than the union wage scale.
 The workmen said that they felt that they needed at least some wages in overtime in order to have sufficient funds to live on. But they said that they would be satisfied if their 48-hour week were resumed as of October 1. S1ankard said that this was impossible
 A spokesman for the group said that they would initiate petitions to the council for both unemploy- ment and health and welfare bene- fits
 Slankard said that he doubted that they all would walk off the job. but if they did. the work would have to stop, We have no money. We can't pay more than that he said. He would have to find other men who would work the 40-hour week.
 Most of the men involved in the controversy are members of the Op- erating Engineers. local BOP. As to leaving their jobs they said that it was .up to the boys to decide just what we want to do.'
 A meeting of the men involved was scheduled for 4:30 pm. yester- day afternoon. in an attempt to de- eide upon a course of action. An operators union representative was slated to give his recommendations on the situation.

He's Just being PACED, cleo

The chances are he's an Of

And if you look closely, you'll
see that the bicep-flexing is the

Test runs showed that the
pager can establish Split-secono

detective or housekeepers.
Twenty five ShorehamiteS
were assigned the radio re-
ceiverS, and hereafter can expect
frequent buzzing no matter
where their work carries them on
the 16-acre Shoreham site.
To operate the pager system
the hotel installed CLOSED cir

around the basement, second and
sixth floors.
A newly-designated page oper-
ator in the switchboard room
pushes a button. for example the
one numbered for Allan Bralove,
a hotel vice president.
At that moment, a buzzer
buzzes at his waist, where his
little transmitter is hitched onto
his belt. A pause. He lifts it
to his ear. "Mr. Bralove. New

$4,000 Gadget
Mr.. Bralove, who introduced

uses for the gadget. particularly
when it has prominent guests
who get frequent phone calls
during conventions or exhibit
sessions. Each of these will be
given a pocket pager during his
stay.
And in ironing out kinks in
service, he expects the pager to
be invaluable, since the appro-
pirate trouble shooter can be
located and dispatched to the

He expects it'll take a few
days to get the hotel personnel
