Like the participants at the ill-fated Paris meeting . of the world powers, the la-bor-management conferees are apparently distrustful and suspicious of each other,The meeting today had an apparently simple goal. That is to agree on an agenda of matters to be discussed at future conferences and what additional men should be invited in by both sides. The administration, having arranged the initial meeting, has stepped out of the picture.Eighty units, including 20 high school bands and four drum and bugle corps, will appear in the 1960 state Lions convention parade here Saturday afternoon, it was announced today by Olav Enli, parade chairman.
