Bus Strike
On at Miami

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 20 (AP) -
An estimated 5000 persons in
Miami and Miami Beach were
without bus service today as
union drivers and mechanics
went out on strike.
Some 725 employees of Miami
Transit Co. and Miami Beach
Railway Co. quit at midnight in
a dispute that began over pub
lie ownership of the bus lines
and the union losing its right
to strike.
Miami and Miami Beach
acted quickly to meet problems
caused by the strike.
The Miami Beach Commits
sion set up nine zones in which
taxicabs will carry passengers
at fares ranging from Is to rs
cents. depending upon the dis
tance
At an emergency meeting of
the Miami City Commission,
city attorney Robert Zshner
was told to prepare a suit re-
quiring Miami Transit to pro-
vide transportation or lose its
franchise.
Attorneys representing the
Metropolitan overnm en- t =,
which includes all unincorpo-
rated areas outside the munich
palities and provides public
services such as courts and
garbage collections, asked Cir
cult Judge Joe Eaton to enjoin
the strike.
The Metro petition said bus
drivers are demanding that the
county enter into a collective
bargaining agreement.
Judge Eaton ruled earliar
this month that Metro can not
enter into bargaining with the
union.
The strike created a massive
traffic jam in downtown
Miami. Parking lots were
crowded. Most business houses
and many Miami Beach hotels
made arrangements for car
pools to get employees to work.

TrunsitStrike
Jams London

LONDON, Jan. 90 (AP).--
Wildcat subway and railroad
strikes for higher pay made
thousands of Londoners late for
work today and threw the cap
ital into one vast traffic jam.
Nearly two million trainless
commuters took to the roads.
Autos, trucks, buses and taxis
were bumper to bumper on the
Thames bridges. Thousands Of
autos converged on London
from the suburbs. Traffic slowed
and then all but halted.
In the southern suburbs
traffic moved at about three
miles an hour.
The chaos resulted from a
one-day strike by the capitals
subway crews and a go-slow by
crewmen on suburban train
services. It would have been
even worse but the city's $4,000
bus drivers refused to join in a
sympathy strike.
Only one in seven of the
capitals subway trains was
running. The subways normally
carry more than 100000 pas
sengers a day.
About half the normal service
IVES running on the southern
region surface railway, which
each day brings in about 100000
commuters from Kent, Surrey
and Sussex.
The strikers say they would
continue to throw London
transport into chaos every
Monday until the government
relaxes its wage freeze policy.
The government has promised a
slight thaw' in April, and
union leaders are not support
ing the strikers.

BY PAUL HOPE
star staff writer

Maryland voters go to the
polls Tuesday to select party
nominees after one Of the Bit
terest primary campaigns in
State history.
A confusing array Of issues
has formed the battle-ground
for the candidates:
A secretly-taken tape record
ing Of an alleged patronage
deal, savings and loan scandals.
reapportionment of General
Assembly seats, the unit vote,
discrimination legislation,
seafood and water conservation
policies, bosSism, unemploy4
ment, slot machines, all these
and more.
BY far the most interest has
been centered on the Demo-
cratic slugfest, which often has
left the voters shaking their
heads in bewilderment as the
charges have flown thick and
fast.
3 Main COntenders
The main fight has been the
race for the gubernatorial
nomination. in which there are
three main contenders:
Gov. J. Millard Tawes, SO. an
Eastern Shoreman who rose
from county court house poli-
tics to the top Of state govern
ment in l1nspeotacsilar fashion

VIENTIANE, Laos. May 10
(AP) Fleeing Royal Laotian
troops poured into Thailand to-
day before the advance of pro-
Communist rebel battalions.
The rebels claimed their drive
carried them into the Mekong
River town Of Tanoun only "a
miles west Of the Royal Capital
of Luang Prabang.
A high United States military
source said 1000 of the pro-
Western governments troops
had fled into friendly Thailand
without putting up a fight
against a rebel offensive which
has Surged more than 100 miles
past the year-old cease-fire
line.
The rebel "Voice Of Laos" in
a broadcast quoted by the Chi
nese Communist news agency,
said Royal Laotian troops aban-
doned Tanoun and fled. pre-
sumably across the Mekong
River to join their comrades
in Thailand.
Tanoun lies about so miles
south Of Houei Sal, key govern
ment point whose fall to the
Reds was reported Friday.

lnoun added to royal government
Tears that the rebels are closing
in for an all-out attack on
lLuang Prabang and on the ad-
ministrative capital Of Vien-
tiane to the south. The Defense
Ministry charged Soviet-made
planes were rushing men and
material to newly won terri
tory in an apparent buildup for
q further push.
In Vientiane, the government
decided to proclaim q state Of
siege throughout Laotian ter
ritory, q formal move that can
empower the cabinet to declare
total mobilization. A spokesman
said the government also de-
cided to inform the United Ma
sions Of the rebel sweep beyond
the cease-fire line agreed on
last year. There also was talk
OF an atempt to resume nego-
tiations among the three rival
Laotian princes for q coalition
regime.
Diplomats said the main fac
tor in the Laotian situation,
however, is the stand the United
States viii take in the face Of
the rebel war moves.
Premier Inspects Defenses
Thailand,s Premier, Marshal
Sarit Thanarat, flew to the bor-
der to inspect his defenses in
the light of the Communist
gains on the Laotian side Of
the Mekong River frontier. He
said he win decide on the basis
of the tour whether he needs
reinforcements in the area.
Police reports from the bor-
der region said 1000 Laotian
civilians as well as up to 1000
troops had fled into Thailand
so far to escape the Red push.

A recently enacted jobIess

the compensation benefits to
persons working for scientific,
educational and literary nom
profit institutions.
City officials have notified
some Of the hospitals that they
no longer are exempt from the
jobless payroll tax because Of
their educational activities,
such as university tie-ins and
nursing schools.

Other organizations covered
BY the compensation extension,
such as the National Education
Association and the National

feel the impact Of the legis-
lation.
Many Of the institutions no.

of them have the legislation
