Support may influence vote Byrd expected to back treaties fax From United Press International WASHINGTON - Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd is expected to give a major boost Friday to administration efforts to win ratification of the Panama Canal treaties by announcing his support for the accords. Byrd announced Thursday he would hold a news conference Friday to discuss the pacts. In Louisville, Kyv Secretary of State Cyrus Vance called for Senate ratification without modifications. Byrd appeared to hint he would back the canal pacts Tuesday when he told the Manufacturing Chemists Association the nation should not be carried away by "emotional jingoism" in assessing the accords. Vance stressed this theme, too, asserting the accords were in the long-term interests of both countries. Byrd's choices were basic: to oppose the treaties to the embarrassment of the administration, remain neutral, or support them possibly with modifications. As majority leader, Byrd can schedule debate at the most opportune time, ensure news briefs supporters are available at crucial moments and possibly influence some swing votes.

It takes 29 votes to pass u bill in the 56-seat Senate, which voted 33-22 against the ERA two years ago. Wholesale prices rise WASHINGTON - Wholesale prices rose 0.7 percent in December and 6.6 percent throughout 1977, doubling the inflation rate of the previous year, the Labor Department reported Thursday. Higher food prices were blamed for the December increase, which exceeded the overall 1977 trend. The price rise in December reflected an 8.4 percent annual rate. The 6.6 percent annual wholesale price increase last year compared to 3.3 percent at the end of 1976. Wholesale prices trends are considered a harbinger of developments in the retail market. Storm hits the South A winter storm spread a ncar-paralying sheet of ice and snow across the South and the Ohio Valley Thursday. It turned highways into deathtraps and shut down factories, businesses, government offices and thousands of schools. Accidents occurred by the hundreds, and dozens of major highways were blocked or reduced to single lanes as motorists, unaccustomed to slippery pavement, spun off roads or smashed into each other. At least eight persons died in traffic in the .1 Sen. Robert Byrd storm's two-day sweep from west Texas to the southern Appalachians. Three were killed in Oklahoma, two in Arkansas. Ice formed up to 4 inchesdeep in northern Louisiana. Up to 6 inches of snow fell in sections of Oklahoma, Arkansas and western Kentucky. The storm pushed eastward into Georgia and the Carolinas. ink Continued from page 1. "I think what the Tar Heel did (in its recent scries of ankles on race relations at UNC) whs very impressive.

Friday, January 13. 1978 The Daily Tar Heel 3 Cramped cops want new campus quarters By DAVID STACKS Staff Writer Plagued by cramped quarters and working in two buildings on campus, employees of the Security Services Department have requested that the University Police squadroom and department headquarters be moved to Lenoir Hall. The area in l.enoir Hall police officers seek is occupied now by the department of art. The Pine Room, Department of the Physical Plant air conditioning shops and the Aerospace Studies headquarters also are housed in Lenoir Hall. "We've got such a stampede in the basement of the Y-building, we can't get anything done," police coordinator Maj. E. B. Riggsbcc said. "We could better benefit the University community by being all in one place and in a central location on campus." The Traffic Enforcement Division, Traffic & Parking Office' and University Police headquarters are in the basement of the YMCA Building. The University Police squadroom is in Hill Building at 1 40!': E. Franklin St.. upstairs from the Carolina Coffee Shop. The request was sent to John Temple, ice chancellor for business and finance, and was signed by 25 police officers and dispatchers It asks Temple to unite the separate facilities of the security department in one building, preferably Lenoir Hall. Police officers are asking for space in l.enoir Hall because a portion of the squadroom in Hill Building is to be partitioned and tented as office space. The remaining quarters would not be adequate for officers' needs, the petition says. But there is no available space in Lenoir Hall, according to Gordon Rutherford, director of the Facilities Planning Office. "1 don't know where in Lenoir Hall they (security employees) would go," Rutherford said. The art department has some severe space problems as it is. I don't know how the police could move in without moving someone else out." The University Space Committee, of which Temple is a member, is responsible for allocating building space to UNC schools and departments. Bill Locke, traffic office administrative director, said the U niversity should aljow-rhe police to keep Hill Building or relocate the entire security department in Lenoir Hall. Parking Monitor Coordinator Abbott Mason said as many as 20 employees art t!i his tiny office during employee shift changes. At other times, Mason said he shares his and one other desk with 10 persons. Bus drivers receive safety awards Twenty-seven Chapel Hill bus drivers received annual safe-driving awards recently from town manager Kurt J. Jenne. Seventeen drivers received awards lor two years of service without a preventable accident . while 10 were awarded for one year of service without a preventable accident, according to Bill Callahan, administrative assistant for the town's department of mass transit. The town employs 27 full-time drivers and 14 part-time drivers who were eligibleforthe awards. "1 think this is reflective of our overall improved safety record." Callahan said. "Our record is something we're all real proud of." Although the total number of accidents increased from 43 in 1976 to 44 in 1977. the number ol prcu-ntahlc accidents fell significantly from 23 to 15 over the same period. "Your preventable-accident areas are the ones you want to target in on and reduce," Callahan said. He attributed much of the decrease in the number of preventable accidents to increased emphasis on safety procedures, including periodic retraining programs. "Safety is and will continue to be a high priority item with us," he said. Callahan said that although the total number of accidents may seem large, the department records any contact as an accident. "In some cases there may have been no damage," he said. "But we classify everything from the fender-benders right on up to major accidents."
