Miners Won't Delay Strike For Election
Britain’s coal miners reject Prime Minister Heath's plea to postpone the strike until after the February 28 national elections. The 280,000 miners will walk out from midnight Saturday, risking electricity cuts and industrial paralysis during the three week campaign. The National Union of Mineworkers Executive voted almost unanimously to proceed, despite a moderating view from president Joe Gormley. Miners seek a 30 to 35 percent pay raise, while Heath argues more than 7 percent would disrupt inflation control.

Ervin Expects More Guilty Pleas
Senator Sam Ervin says more guilty pleas are expected from Watergate indictments likely to be voted by the grand jury later this month. He notes three recent pleas and cites postponement of the committee report to avoid influencing the indictments. The panel will also extend its life to May 28 and certify its investigative file to the House Judiciary Committee as impeachment moves proceed.
