"We have accepted the original proposal and the voters have ratified it," said attorney Bernard Berkman. "There is no other proposal that has been made to us that would be 'acceptable." At the same time, trucking companies delayed voting on the new settlement offer despite official pleas of 'extreme emergen cy." There was gunfire in three states and at least 10 acts of violence in a fourth. A truck driver was shot and wounded in In diana, and another was injured by glass fragments in Pennsylvania. Bunker Denies Pressuring Thieu SAIGON The U.S. mission here denied Monday night that Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker is putting pressure on the govern ment of President-elect Nguyen Van Thieu not to do anything to embarrass President Johnson. A spokesman said he was authorized by the ambassador to deny a New York Times story which reported Bunker had warn ed Thieu: . 4TTie President is in trouble politically, and his troubles are your troubles; you can't afford to alienate the Americans." "Relationships with the government are extremely cordial and extremely close, based on a posture of mutual resoect and partnership," the spokesman said. .'The ambassador is in touch with the responsible officials of the Vietnamese government ffre- quently and we-find no basis for the statement that our relations have deteriorated." UAW Considers New Ford Offer DETROIT United Auto Workers officials huddled Monday, reportedly considering a Ford Motor Co. proposal designed to satisfy Walter P. Reuther's demand that car factory workers be given guaranteed annual salaries rather than hourly wages. Negotiations were suspended while Reuther, the UAW presi dent, caucused with his union colleagues behind a week-old news blackout. The nationwide strike by Ford's 160,000 UAW members was in its 40th day. A source close to the negotiations said Ford, still resisting the new concept of salaries for all, offered to sweeten the sup plemental unemployment benefits payments which auto workers receive wnen laid off. Compulsory Rail WASHINGTON The first compulsory wage settlement ever dictated by Congress went into effect Monday for 137,000 railroad shopcraft workers. ' The basic 5.5. per cent wage increase, in line with other con tract settlements in larger industries this year, is retroactive to Jan. 1. The settlement expires Dec. 31, 1968, with strikes and lockouts forbidden until then. The workers are members of six shopcraft unions that struck the nation's railroads for two days last July. Congress, at Presi dent Johnson's request, ended the walkout by approving a com pulsory settlement of the wage down by a special arbitration panel on Sept. 15. Romney Will Defend Charges LANSING, Mich. Michigan Gov. George Romney Monday ac- cepted a challenge to appear before a congressional committee to defend his charge that he was "brainwashed" by U.S. officials during a visit to Vietnam in 1965. Romney said a full congressional review of what the Johnson administration has said about the war during the past three years would be "very appropriate." Rep. Wayne L. Hays, D-Ohio, chairman of the House sub committee on State Department organization and foreign opera tions invited Romney to testify at hearings planned "to determine the accuracy and nature" of official briefings in Viet nam. KKK Circulating Wallace Petitions COLUMBIA, S..C The Ku Klux Klan is circulating petitions and holding contests among local units in an effort to get former Alabama Gov.

A experimental change in the residence college suite system was proposed Monday for this spring by Charlie Mercer, former University Party legislative floor leader, in a meeting with Men's Residence Council president Dwight Allen. The proposal calls for room ing eight persons a in two 'rooms of the suite and using the other two rooms for study and social purposes. This new arrangement would cut down on the impersonality of (he present system and alleviate some of the student stress problem, according to Mercer. Allen called the suggestion "a really good idea," and said it would cut down on the monotony of suite life, the "main problem" in student stress. Mercer has briefed assistant Dean of men Fred Schrader on the suggestion and will discuss it more extensively with him and Dean of Men James O. Cansler on Wednesday. Mercer also said he had talk ed with James Residence College Governor Miles Whilhelm, who also approved of the plan. Monday Mercer will meet with the board of governors of the Men's Residence Council to describe the experiment to them. He wants a pilot project in volving a wing of one house in each south campus residence college to be started in the spring. . The change would be made only if all eight persons in the suite agreed to it. Suiitte .Proposed Snow is the author of "Red Star Over China." He was a correspondent in Peking in 1938, at the time of the Chinese civil war. He observed the -Communists struggle from behind their own lines, and has interviewed Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai. The Symposium Committee which is doing most of the planning for the 1963 Carolina Symposium includes Chan cellor J. Carlyle Sitterson as honorary chairman. Other members of the com mittee are Betty Ann Burbon, vice chairman; Dr. Joel Schwartz, faculty adviser ; Richard Klein, publicity; John Saratt, treasurer; Wendy Colten, secretary. Also, KM Kyser, hospitality director; Hal G. Rainey co ordinator; and Jonathan Gibson, chairman of the Intercollegiate Seminars. WUNC-tV will broadcast most of the speeches over its statewide educational television network. TTh laev&minra H The only major physical change involved would be mov ing beds which can be made into bunkbeds from the north campus to the south campus suites.: r The two rooms for sleeping would be placed diagonally across from each other to cut down on noise. One empty roo mcould be us ed for a social room which the suite inhabitants could fix up as they like put in sofas, chairs, record players, or even a refrigerator. The other room would be provinded with tables so the students could study in it. - Mercer hopes to get a sociology or psychology graduate student to study the a CommiMee By WAYNE HURDER The Student Government Discounting Coaimittee is ask ing students to boycott Chapel Hill taxis Thursday in protest ot me doubling at rates on Saturday's of home football games. Chairman Stu Rosen called the boycott "the beginning of a long line of action against merchants unless something can be done about prices." He termed the doubling of rates "just another example of how a monopoly in town can get used to fleece the stu dents." "They do such an amazing amount of business that there is no reason at all why they should double prices on weekends," he said. The doubling of rates is permitted under 'a Chapel Hill ordnance passed on Jan. 9, 1967. His committee also plans to investigate merchants' prices and "advertise the most reasonable places to shop," ac cording to Rosen, to try to force merchants to lower prices. Rosen said he had not tried to talk with the cab Companies because he felt this is the students "golden opportunity to show how dissatisfied we are." The broader ranged purpose of the Thursday boycott is to "show that the students are going to stop taking bad service and high prices from the merchants in town." His committee will start in vestigating food, clothing, and gas prices in the town next week and should have results in a month. After that the committee will i ; : ! t i . t - .

When they got up they could dress in the ctbsr rooms (Continued on Pase 6) Taxis start advertising and advising students where to shop in town, he added. If the boycott succeeds, the committee will be able to use that fact in bargaining with other merchants. If it fails, they still won't be hurt because they will be able to rely on advertising lower priced stores as a bargaining weapon, Rosen explained.
