@ 9 By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent The percentage increases of 7 percent-62 percent and 6 percent annually over a three year period, approved by members of the Dallas School Board at the May 13 meeting of the board, has not yet been ratified by the non-professional employees association, according to John George, chairman of negotia- tions committee. “There is a meeting set for June 20 at 3 p.m., in the Dallas Adminis- tration Building,” said George. “At that meeting it will be discussed whether or not the non-professional employees will accept the contract as we have submited itto them.” James Paley, state mediator, and Gloria Barnecki, negotiator for the Pennsylvnaia School Service Per- sonal Association, Dallas, will also be present at the June 20 meeting. “The Association is agreeable to the annual increase approved by the directors,” said George. ‘‘The only issue involved in acceptance or non- acceptance is the wording relative to terms of disciplinary action.” Louis Bobeck, president of the Dallas Association, said that he believes the contract will be settled at the June 20 meeting. Bobeck agreed that the language in the paragraph concerning disciplinary action was the only issue involved but believed it could be clarified at the meeting between both parties. If it is settled to the satisfaction of both parties, Bobeck will take the contract back to the Association for ratification. “If it is not settled, I guess we will have to go back to the negotiat- ing table and start over,” said Bobeck. The contract has been under nego- tiation for nearly a year and some members are getting anxious to have the entire matter settled. In a surprise and abrupt ending to a preliminary hearing before Magis- trate Leonard Harvey, charges of rape, statuatory rape, and corrupt- ing the moral of minors were with- drawn by prosecutor for the D.A.’s office, Joseph Albert, against 37- year-old Robert Kreidler of Harveys Lake. The man had been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl last March and had been remanded to Luzerne County Prison in lieu of $75,000 bail. Albert had no choice but to drop the charges when the young female testified that what she had pre- viously alleged had never actually happened. “I think I was going into a sei- zure,” she said, ‘“‘and I was remem- bering the past.” Robert. Kreidler told The Dallas Post, “I am glad she told the truth.” Hugging his one-year-old son, he said, “This is the first time I've seen him since I was arrested. I have seen my wife, and she has been very supportive about this whole misunderstanding.” Kreidler said he plans to return home and resume his job with Carbon Sales in Miners Mills as soon as possible.
