—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Oct. 4,1978 Governor candidates attack Rizzo's 'racial tactics' PHILADELPHIA (AP) Penn sylvania’s, Democratic and Republican candidates for governor called on Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo yesterday to stop using “racial tactics” in his bid to change the City Charter and run for a third term. “Mayor Rizzo has resorted to devisive rhetoric designed to set race against race," Republican Richard L. Thorn burgh told a raucous crowd in the courtyard of City Hall here. “I’m opposed to anyone using racial tactics which would polarize or divide blacks against whites along racial lines,” Democrat Peter F. Flaherty said in a release issued from his Pittsburgh office. Thornburgh’s remarks were peppered with boos and chants of “Four more years” from a well-organzied knot of Rizzo backers sporting orange and blue stickers that read "Charter Change, Yes!” Charter change opponents, wearing green and white buttons, along with Thornburgh supporters, yelled “Oh, shut up,” and one man, without a button, kept screaming, “What are you going to do about nuclear power?” Reporters, wedged within a few feet of the candidate’s face, lost many of his words in the great din. “ ... in recent weeks I have witnessed campaign conduct on the part of Mayor Rizzo that should concern not only Philadelphians but all Pennsylvanians,” Thornburgh continued. “I understand from private con versations with leaders in the black community that the mayor’s statements could well touch off disturbances. “I call on Mayor Rizzo to cease using appeals to fear, to stop making use of If you have any questions about Sera-Tec call 237-5761 It may mean $15.00 this week PROBLEMS?'' , USG is there to help Concerning— •wage rates * •discrimination •overtime pay •other part-time or full time job problems; .

He urged whites and blacks who support him to “vote white” on the issue. When informed that Flaherty had issued a statement earlier in the day also criticizing Rizzo’s use of racial rhetoric, Thornburgh replied with a grin: “After reading the. story in the paper this morning he (Flaherty) hustled around to play a little catch-up ball.” Carter looks to fight over veto WASHINGTON (AP) —...President Carter prepared yesterdayto veto a $10.2 billion public works bill, rejecting calls for compromise and ensuring an uphill, potentially bitter clash with fellow Democrats in Congress. . Carter summoned his Cabinet to the White House on only a few hours notice for an unusual afternoon session to discuss the coming veto fight and his plans for new anti-inflation measures. A White House official, declining to be identified publicly, said all negotiations had broken down with congressional Democrats who were seeking a com promise on the public works bill. “They could not come up with anything that was acceptable,” the official said. He said Carter rejected compromise offers because they would have been inconsistent with the president’s attempts to fight inflation and aid the poor.

Byrd, D-W.Va., one of Carter’s staunchest supporters on Capitol Hill, chastised the president. “Pork barrel that’s a code word, a buzz word that’s been thrown around promiscuously for years about the public works appropriations bill,” Byrd said.

Gladys Beatty of Williamsport lost all claims to parenthood of her 11-year-old daughter Judith two years ago. County children’s services officials went to court after determining that Mrs. Beatty was incapable of caring and controlling Judith because of “low education, limited mental ability and, more im portantly, a lack of emotional control and self-discipline.” ' No act of child abuse was alleged, however. Mrs. Beatty had offered her daughter for foster care in 1974, but court records indicate that she visited Judith often and that “mutual affection” was shown during those visits. Marjorie Lehman was 39 and ex pecting her fourth child in 1971 when she asked county officials to find foster homes for her three young sons. On June 3, 1976, those officials were successful in having a state court ter minate Mrs. Lehman’s parental rights even though the three boys had frequently visited their natural mother. NY pressmen approve pact NEJW YORK (UPI) Members of the striking pressmen’s union voted over whelmingly Tuesday to ratify a tentative contract agreement with the New York Post as management met with three others unions in efforts to resume publishing Wednesday. ' The ratification vote was 445-51. The Post meanwhile stepped up talks with the Newspaper Guild, machinists and paper handlers in the hope of putting out a Wednesday edition. William Kennedy, head of the pressmen’s union, and George Mc- Donald, president of the Allied Printing Trades Council, said earlier Tuesday the Post could be back on the newsstands “within 24 hours” if agreements are completed with all its striking unions. Kennedy, cheered loudly by the pressmen, at the conclusion of the meeting, said he thought it would take about two weeks to reach agreements between his union and the strikebound Daily News and New York Times.
