Shake TWoI

BOLzANO. Italy. July 1a
(AP).-The troubled South
Tyrol was shaken again today
by terrorist bombings of power
plants as Austria and Italy
exchanged bitter protest notes
in the flareup Of the dispute
dating back to World War I.
A dozen pre-dawn blasts and
cracking gunfire - apparently
from army Sentries guarding
the power plants-echoed in
the Alpine resort province
where the German-speakine
population is demanding au-
tonomy from Italian domina-
ton.
The terrorists directed Their
latest attacks primarily al
power installations and railway
lines.
2 Plants Damaged
Two power plants were re.
ported damaged during the
night. One was the Cardanc
plant, southeast Of Bolzano
which supplies power as far al
Piedmont on the French border
Half q dozen electrical power
lpylonS were damaged or knocked
down and a railway tunnel
for q local line was dynamited
The raiders struck on q
moonless night in drenchins
rain. The series Of bombing'
appeared well co-ordinated.
Attacks were reported neal
Castebello, Nazschaves, Ora
Termeno, Frangarto and Sa-
lorno In the Bolzano area and
at Ronchi, Valsugana, Lavaredc
Tori del Benaco and Rival de-
Garda in neighboring Trento
The German-speaking Ty.
roleans are being supported by
Austria in their demands fol
the dominant voice in loca,
government.
Notes Exchanged
Austria formerly owned the
South Tyrol, but turned the
area over to Italy after World
War I. ..
Italy in q sharp protest note
yesterday called Austria,s at
tention to "its responsibility
concerning the recent
terrorist acts in Italy"
Austria in turn complained
about Rome's new restrictions
on the Italian-AuStrian border
where all travellers now must
have visas and passports. Pre-
viouSly only identity papers
were required.
Italy, angered by the latest
dynamitings, also suspended
further diplomatic negotiations
with Austria on the dispute
Austria had proposed an in
quiry by a United Nations COM
mission. Italy wants to put
the matter before the Inter-
national Court in The Hague

Federal and postal workers in
the field desire such legislation,
even though some of their ma
tional union leaders are cool
to the idea. New York States
Federal population is greater
than that of Washington, D. c.,
although less than the entire
metropolitan Washington area.
The mail this reporter re-
ceives from Government en-
ployes in the Washington area
as we'll as throughout the
country indicates strong sup
port of legislation to give Fed
eral employees optional social
security coverage on payment
of the social security tax, in
addition to their civil service
retirement benefits. The Amer
ican Federation of Government
Employees and the National
Federation of Federal Employees
last year reversed their previ-
Gus stands and now support
such legislation. But the big
postal employe unions still are
cool to the idea, primarily be-
cause they feel their members
could not afford to pay the
social security tax in addi-
tion to the 61a per cent salary
contribution they now pay for
their civil service retirement
benefits
One thing is certain. There
is strong sentiment for social
security coverage among rank
and-file Federal and postal
workers and the various unions
will have to take a strong
stand one way or the other on
the subject next year at their
conventions.

fined $500 in Municipal Court

The defendant, listed on
court papers as Lloyd E. Mitch
