Coon of NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., demonstrates the tiny sensor ha invented for implanting in the human heart to measure blood pressure without disturbing the patient. The sensor is inserted through a standard hypodermic needle and, combined with a transmitter, could be used for continuous monitoring of blood pressure. American Tobacco Co. Sued For Job Bias A complaint, charging employment discrimination was filed in U. S. District Court here today against the American Tobacco Company, makers of Lucky Strike, Pall Mall and Tareyton cigarettes and Corona cigars. Attorneys of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF) asked for a preliminary and permanent injunction in behalf of six Negro employees. The LDF charged the Company and Local 192, Tobacco Workers' International Union. AFL-CIO, with "maintaining a policy, practice, custom for usage of sor minating" against Negro workers. Specific charges include: Negro workers have been "denied equal opportunities for promotions, transfers and on-thejob training and have thus been restricted to the lower-paying and less desirable jobs raditionally reserved for Negro employees of the Company." White employees of the Company doing the same type of workas Negro employees are sometimes paid higher wages than said Negro employees." "Some jobs held by Negroes are not classified as skilled or semi-skilled whereas similar jobs held by white employees are soclassified.' One Negro worker "was demoted to a lower-paying job because he filed a charge of racial discrimination against the defendants with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission." "The custom and usage of segregated toilet and locker room facilities is maintained notwithstanding the withdrawal of their racial designations." The workers based their charges, on grounds that the practices being attacked are unlawful under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Local 192, LDF attorneys assert, "has failed in its duty to fairly represent plaintiffs' and other Negroes and has "joined in the maintenance of a policy, practice, custom of usage of limiting these persons to lower-paying and less durable jobs." LDF attorneys include Julius LeVonne Chambers of Charlotte, North Carolina and Jack Greenberg director-counsel, Robert Belton and Gabrielle A. Kirk of New York City. STATE OF THE STATE — New York's Gov. Nelson Rockefeller tells the legislature in Albany that essential programs will cost $500 million more than the state has in its coffers, and so a tax increase is in the future. Rep. Alexander To Introduce Bill On Anti-Brutality Fulton Representative William H. Alexander Wednesday of the 13rd District will introduce an "antibrutality" bill and a bill relating to eviction of tenants. "The "anti-brutality" bill makes it a crime for any law enforcement officer, including any person engaged in the supervision of prisoners, to physically abuse or injure any person who is in the custody of any law enforcement agency. The bill provides that any person who believes that he's the victim of such brulality may present a complaint to the Attorney General who shall investigate the complaint and bring a criminal action against three who have violated the act. In addition, the victim shall have a right to bring a civil action against the violators. ISABELLA of PARIS THAT'S ME! I have the Amazing SUPERIOR TONIC TABLETS.

S Gary, Indiana 46401 Wage Calendar For '68 Shows Much Activity Collective bargaining will continue at high levels in 1968, according to the Labor Statistics. Department's Bureau of Labor Contracts will expire or be reopened for about 4 million workers in 1968, compared to 4.6 million in 1967. A number of key industries will be involved, including basic steel and related industries such as aluminum an metal fabricating, aerospace, men's apparel, construction, Atlantic and Gulf Coast longshoremen. Another 4.6 million workers will receive increases in 1968 under terms of agreements negotiated in earlier years. About 2.8 million are under contracts that expire in 1968, and nearly 650,000 workers come under reopeners in contracts due to terminate in 1969 or later. Open-end contracts involving another 550,000 workers in railroads and coal minin gean be reopened in 1968, Rail shopcraft unions have already served notice of wage demands for about 375,000 workers. Workers affected by bargaining that can take place in 1968 because of contract expirations or reopeners are more numerous in nonmanufacturing than in manufacturing than in manufacturing. In addition to negotiations in construction and longshore, nearly 500,000 telephone workers come under agreements that reopen in 1968. Bargaining in basic steel and aerospace will dominate manufacturing negotiations, but significant negotiations are also scheduled in shipbuilding, glass, and leather and leather products. For 400,000 workers, contracts which expired in 1967 were still being renegotiated late in the year. An unknown number of them will receive deferred increases sometime during 1968. About 14 million workers are covered by agreements that are not subject to negotiation or wage increases during 1968. More workers are eligible for cost-of-living escalator adjustments in 1968 than in any year since 1962 but agreements for most of those workers have set a limit on the size of such adjustments. 15 Federal Judges To Hear Six Cases On Discrimination The largest federal constitutional court in history, 15 judges, will meet next Wednesday to hear six complicated cases, four involving southern Negroes claiming discrimination. The judges will sit as a body on the 5th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals. They will break the old numerical record of 12, which the 5th circuit court set last March when it met in Jacksonville, Fla., to review and establish school integration guidelines. To of the racial cases next week involve the closing of swimming pools and others facilities in Jackson, Miss., and Tallahassee, Fla. Hazel palmer and a group of Jackson Negroes will receive a rehearing on a case against the city, which they lost in U. S. District Court and in the Appeal- late Court. They asked for an injunction against Mayor Allen C. Thompson and other city officials to prevent closing of the city's swimming pools and other recreational facilities and to prevent eliminating public rest - rooms in city hall and other buildings. She also asked for desegregation of jail faculties. The city said it closed the pools because of the danger of violence if they were integrated. The court accepted the city's reason and said there was no violation of constitutional rights if the pools were closed to everyone. The Tallahassee case, filed by Rochells Steele and others, is similar. Sh and other Negroes tried to swim in an all - white public pool July 4, 1964. The city closed all three pools later that day. After the suit was filed, the city filed a motion to dismiss. The motion was granted in district court on grounds the Negroes failed to state a cause of aciton. The appellate court has not actied on this case. Apollo Launch Slated Jan. 18 The first Apollo launch of 1968, a key test of the ship built to land men on the moon, was delayed a day to Jan. 18 Thursday but scientists went ahead with preparations to launch a Surveyor robot lunar lander early Sunday. The Surveyor, a one - ton camera carrying craft, is the last of seven probes designed to clear the way for manned moon landings by the 15 1-2 - ton Apollo landing ship called the lunar module. The first lunar module was to have kicked off project Apollo's ambitious schedule for the new year Jan. 17 with an unmanned orbital flight, but the space agency said "several little problems" caused a 24 - hour delay. It will be the first test flight for the Apollo lunar landing spaceship and will mark. an important step in the agency's drive to meet the long - time goal of landing men on the moon this decade. For its initial outing, the 31,325 - pound Lunar Module will be launced unmanned into earth orbit by the Saturn 1 rocket that once was assigned to orbit the three Apollo 1 astronauts killed a year ago in a ground test fire here. Once in space for he first time, the bulbous Lunar Module will be put through a 6 1-2- hour workot planned primarily to test its engine systems - the units that must land two men gently on the moon and then launch them to a rendezvous in orbit around the moon with the three- man Apollo command ship. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA said the Lunar Module's new Jan. 18 launch date is contingent on the successful completion of several tests still to be performed on the ship and its two-stage rocket. The next major hurdle is a countdown rehearsal Jan. 12. While engineers worked on the Lunar Module Thursday, another team was putting the surveyor 7 spacecraft through communicattions tests with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory JPL at Pasadena, I Calif. Surveyor 7 is scheduled to leave earth at 12:43 a. m. EST Sunday and land Tuesday on a rugged layer of crater excavations near the crater Tycho in the mountainous highland area of the moon.

Man Who Lived On Borrowed Blood Dies In Accident For 18 years, Frank A. Frank Jr. lived on "borrowed blood." When he died it was not from the rare ailment whoch required continuous transfusions, but in a traffic accident. Frank, of South San Francisco, was kept alive by donated blood. His last gift was from the inmates of San Quentin prison, who volulenteered, as a Christmas gift, to take care of all his future blood needs. Frank, a freshman at the college of San Mateo, suffered from Cooley's anemia, a rare aliment which did not permit his body to reproduce red cells fast enough. Every few weeks, he went to Children Hospital for a threepint transfusion with blood from the Irwin Memorial Blood Bank. In the 12 years since the family moved from Pittsburgh, the boy's father, Frank St., said, the bank never had charged. Young Prank went riding with two friends Tuesday, looking for spare parts for an old car. They stopped at a red light, and their car was hit n the rear. Pushed forward into a small but, it careenred into another traffic lane where it was hit by another vehicle. Big printing bill is a problem at United Nations. GET FAST BLESSED RELIEF!

Prince Norodom Won't Block U.S. Prince Norodom Sihanouk said recently he would not block American military forays into Cambodia, despite opposition to his decision by "red" French advisers and by Communist China. Peking warned that it "will not look on with folded arms" if U. S. troops do Invade Cambodian territory in hot pursuit of Viet Cong guerrillas. However, a Peking statement made no reference to Sihanouk's latest declaration. The Cambodian chief of state said the Chinese were "not happy" with his decision. In Washington, official sources said President Johnson has selected Ambassador to India Chester W. Bowles to go on a special mission to Phnom Penh and discuss with Sihanouk the problem of North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces using Cambodia as a sanctuary. The prince was reported willing to receive an American envoy. Sihanouk said be was not inviting U. S. troops to enter his country. He was serving notice that Cambodian troops would not attack American forces if their incursions were brief and away from populated areas. Sihanouk made his statement in a speech Sunday while on a tour of the provinces. His remarks were released Wednesday in a press communique. In justifying his decision to ignore American pursuit missions, Sihanouk said he was prompted by a desire to save his own people from war. Lurleen Wallace May Have 3rd Cancer Now Gov.

" Computer To Help Medics In Detection Of Disease Doctors may one day call upon the computer to help detect heart disease in newborn infants and other young children. An automated system for annalying the pediatric electrocardigram (ECG)— a test for heart disorders in babies and children— is being developed by the public Health Service's National Cen ter for Chronic Disease Control, under the direction of Dr. Lowell W. Perry. "Each year an estimated 30,000 babies are bore with congenital heart disease in the United States," according to Dr. Perry, chief of the Pediatric Section of the Centers Heart Disease Control Program. "Deaths among these babies must often occur during the period shortly after birth especially during the first month of life. In addition from one to two of every 1,000 school-aged children presently have undetected heart disease. For the past fifty yean doctors have searched for an effective method of screening for heart disease in infants and school children. The pediatric ECG has been a potentially valuable detection tool, but studies of its use have been hampered by two major factors: Children's ECG are difficult to take and require considerable time and effort, and the number of recordings needed to be taken to establish normal ECG standards against which to measure the child with heart disease are of such magnitude that most investigators hesitate to become involved. Dr. Perry explained why the finding of normal ECO standards for children is go dffcult: '"Because the heart changes so rapidly during the month after birth, the ECG of a normal child varies greatly with his age. What is normal for a newborn infant may be quiet abnormal for a two year old. It is common to find children with severe heart disease and infants dying of heart disease with ECGs that are normal by present day standards." While the computer will not lessen the time and patience needed for the collection of chil dren's ECGs, its ability to analyse data can be used to improve the test's diagnostic standards. The computer's greatest value should be in helping to define precisely the normal child's ECG and increasing the accuracy of the test in clinical situations. At the present time Dr. Perry is using he computer to analyze the ECGs of children ranging in age from one month to the mid teens. The final result of this work will lead to a precise definition of normal ECG standards for infants, children, and adolescents. Once standards of normal have been clearly established, it will be possible to use the ECG to screen heart disease in these age groups. If the pediatric ECG eventually is incorporated into a comprehensive screening program, the potential for the earliest detection of heart disease will be greatly enhanced. As a basis for his system, Dr. Perry is modifying a successful computer program for the analyis of the adult ECG, developed by the National Center's Medical Systems Development Laboratory in Washington. D. C. Will Talk Peace Says No. Viet Spokesman France feels North Vietnam has moved significantly in recent days toward willingness to talk peace with Washington if American bombing of the North stops, informed sources said Thursday. The sources said that France was convinced of Hanoi's intentions after diplomatic checks on the meaning of a statement last Saturday by Hanoi. The Hanoi statement said peace talks could begin if the United States stopped bombing and "other acts of war" in the North. France has told Washington it considered the new Hanoi policy a definite moderation from the communist's previous stands, sources said. The French sources said this was significant because until now Hanoi has said only that it would consider talking after a bombing halt, not that it was definitely ready and, willing to talk. In the French view Hanoi has begun showing willingness to talk first because its relations with Peking hae cooled recently and second because Hanoi think it can obtain greater concessions from a war-weary America in an election year.
