They noted that the IAM's largest locals are stuT uncommitted. Most "of the 35,400 machinists and ground service crewmen voting today have been working fulltime at other jobs during the strike andthus have not felt any great economic pinch. Reports from some' of the traditionally independent locals indicate the members appeared testy toward the new contract offer even though it meets nearly all the union's original contract demands. Results of the ratification vote were to be announced tonight (at 8 p.m; EDT) at union headquarters in Washing ton.

Mr. Memory indicated he did not as yet have details of Springville's defense, but indicated the city will vigorously defend its position. The state has repeatedly requested and formally ordered Springville to institute parallel parking on its Main Street, and Springville has consistently refused to do so claiming its street is wide enough to allow angle parking with perfect safety.

S. 5,000 Utah SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) -If President Johnson calls up the Reserves and National Guard, nearly all of Utah's 5,000 guardsmen could be affected. Utah Adjutant General Maurice L. Watts said Thursday's Senate action authorizing the President to call up the reserves would affect men who have six months basic completed training, but who have not had previous active- duty. This, he 0 said, would include per cent of Utah guardsmen. Sen. Wallace F. Bennett, said in Washington he was opposed to breaking up reserve units to take out individuals. The units should be called as a group, he said. Sen. Frank E. Moss, voted against the action.

"One of the advantages of civic component service is that men get to serve with people they know." The Senate approved a $58 oillion bill to pay defense costs. Included in the complex measure was authority given to the President to order thousands of individual reservists to active duty in Viet Nam. Previously, they could be taken only in units. The measure now goes back to the House.
