Rifkind, speaking for the panel, told a press confer- ence: "Gentlemen, the marathon is over." The teachers voted 5,265 to 181 for the contract. Many at the rally did not bother to cast a formal vote. DEFIANCE THREATENED Before the agreement, Union President Charles Cogan had said the teachers would picket the schools in defiance of a state law which forbids strikes by public employees, The union, which claims to have 21,000 teacher-members, is}; the recognized collective bar- gaining agent for all 43,000 teachers in the city's school sys- tem. The teachers' new two-year contract will give most of them $580 more during the pact pe- riod. ' Salaries now range from $5,- 00 to $10,455.

Strikes were believed to be planned in several high schools today but heavily-armed police and troops mounted guard at most of them and' teachers turned the pupils away. School several hundred pupils rebelled after arriving for classes, For two hours they demonstrated inside the grounds as hundreds of troops and po- lice grouped outside in battle formation, TEAR DOWN FLAG Shouting anti-government slo- gans, pupils tore down the na- tional flag from the flagstaff and ran up the multi-colored Buddhist flag after parading it triumphantly around the grounds, Police made one early at- tempt to storm their way into the school but retreated under a barrage of bricks and rocks. Pupils then barricaded the gate with heavy obstacles in- cluding basketball backboards and other sports equipment. Upstairs windows were smashed and tables were brought out onto balconies where they were turned up side- ways with slogans facing to- ward the main road outside. One of them read in English: "We are in danger--help us." Groups of pupils shielded be- hind blackboards moved to the edge of the grounds and police and troops with a hail of missiles including bricks and mediation, panel/boards. Loudspeakers outside pupils te calm down, but they began a new wave of de- struction inside and again pelted the police, who finally stormed the gates and rounded up the leaders, Officer Ousted Over Garbage SAIGON, Viet Nam (AP)--An American officer is being sent home for throwing garbage from a Saigon roof which landed on Vietnamese security forces, reliable sources said here. The officer's identity was not disclosed but he was described as being of field grade--major, nt colonel or colonel. At the same time, U.S. au- thorities issued stern instruc- tions to servicemen throughout Saigon to stop throwing garbage from roofs of their billets on Vietnamese police.

RECALLS INJUNCTION Mr. Pearson noted that the explosion occurred very close to the Sept. 13 deadline set by the American courts requiring un- ions there to stop picketing or interfering with the Shaw or be fined for contempt of court. Regarding the weekend re- quest of President Claude Jo- doin of the Canadian Labor Con- gress for a recall of Parliameat before Sept. 30, Mr. Pearson said Labor Minister MacEachen has been in touch with Mr, Jo- doin and had suggested that tne' union leader approach George Meaney, president of the AFL-| CIO, who was "a key man there," and Mr. Jodoin's oppa- site number. Mr. Pearson emphasized that the most recent violence had o- curred in the United States where- no Canadian legislation could have much effect, seeming to indicate that Parliament was unlikely to meet: before the scheduled Sept, 30 date. He said it's entirely speculative that the MPs are likely to be called back. It would take three or four days to do so, and many MPs were overseas although NDP Assails Robarts In Northern Campaign By THE CANADIAN PRESS While the New.

Addressing an NDP rally in Geraldton Sunday, Mr. MacDon- ald said Ontario's labor depart- ment "'no longer feels bound to keep its own promises."

The Liberal foundation plan of school financing, he said, would they could get back quickly by alr. He noted that before Parlia- ment adjourned for a summer recess early in August he had promised to recall MPs if the Great Lakes situation deterior- ated. Mr. Pearson said he hopes it won't be necessary for him to take up the waterfront problem again with President Kennedy but he would do so if necessary.

Mr. Kilgour addressed the an- nual conference of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Account- ants which opened here .today. Text of his address was re- leased to the press in advance of delivery. He said the plan had four ma- jor faults--it would subsidize the wrong people, result in over- pensioning many Canadians, transfer economic problems to coming generations and '"'maim Canadian capital formation when we most urgently need it."
