William Bracke, say this isn't happening they way it should. "We'd love to (create more informants)," Bracke said. "We'd absolutely love to. "But nobody will talk to us." In the last three or four years, Guthrie said, he has "flipped" three or four defendants out of "seven to eight hundred felony cases." Bracke says that light sentencing might be a reason. "You get a user or a small-time pusher," Bracke you say to him, 'Look, I want you to turn in your supplier and we'll go easy on you in says to himself, 'Now, if I just keep my mouth shut and go to court, I'm probably not going to get much anyway probation or whatever.

On the other hand, if I talk to the police and turn in my pusher, I'm dead." CINCINNATI (AP) Officials who led a large-scale investigation of drug use in Hamilton County Schools have big hopes for such roundups. Defense attorneys, however, say police are going overboard when they arrest students for sales as small as two marijuana cigarettes at a $1 each. "That's really smalltime," says Timothy Smith, a lawyer. Authorities arrested 151 people, almost half of them juveniles, last week in what they described as the largest undercover investigation ever at the schools. Operation JUNE, Juvenile Undercover Narcotics Enforcement, was a cooperative effort by the Cincinnati Police, the Sheriff's Department and Reading Police.

Police defend the arrests, saying that officers must make small buys in order to work their way up the drug-supply chain. Cincinnati Police Sgt. Paul Guthrie says small-time dealers, if threatened with jail sen 6-A Ohio Lawmaker says ERA still alive COLUMBUS (AP) An Ohio lawmaker says the women's Equal Rights Amendment is not dead but only sidetracked. Rep. Michael Stinziano, D-Colum-bus, is sponsoring a resolution asking congress to resubmit the proposal to the states.

The House State Government Committee begins hearings on the proposal Wednesday as numerous committees of both chambers call for testimony on measures covering a wide range of subjects. Work will continue in subcommittees on Gov. Richard Celeste's record $26.7 billion budget bill. Referring to his ERA resolution, Stinziano said "I think it is important for the states which ratified, like Ohio, to let the Congress know we want them to act promptly." He referred to the federal ERA amendment, which died last year after being ratified by 35 states, falling three short of the three-fourths majority needed. Despite the setback, Stinziano said all opinion polls show that a large majority of Americans support the ERA.

But because each state carried equal weight in the ratification vote, regardless of population, the big states with the most population had their votes diluted, he said. The ERA "was blocked by a handful of men in just a few states," he said, adding that there is more sup- port for it in Ohio now than when the earlier amendment was ratified during the 1973-1974 legislative session. "It has the support of both political parties, and endorsements from almost everyone business, churches, labor unions, and both men and women," Stinziano said. Sen. Michael Schwarzwalder, D-Columbus, will get a hearing Wednesday night on a resolution which would send another message to Washington support for a nuclear freeze.

With 17 co-sponsors listed on the proposal, the senator already has the votes for adoption in the 33-member Senate, and he is chairman of the judiciary committee to which it was assigned. The resolution supports a freeze on nuclear weapons production, a reduction of existing warheads, and diversion of funds set aside for future production to programs that produce jobs and provide social services. Sen. Thomas E. Carney, D-Girard, will get a hearing Tuesday in the Senate Transportation and Public Improvements Committee on his measure requiring motor vehicles in Ohio to carry only a single license plate.

They now must have them on both front and back. Sen. Eugene Branstool, D-Utica, hopes to return to the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee Tuesday night a bill setting up bargaining rights for Ohio's state and local public employees. However, Branstool heads a three-member subcommittee which has been studying the proposal and has not yet completed work on it. The subcommittee meets again Monday and he said he expects final action at that time.

Top Bottom contest given OK COLUMBUS (AP) The story of a Columbus nightclub's ordeal in U. S. District Court had a happy ending Friday.

Judge John D. Holschuh refused to grant a restraining order that would have prohibited a weekend "Top Bottom in Town" contest by the Dixie Electric Co. The contest invited men and women to display their clothed posteriors for judging. A restraining order had been sought by the sales manager for a local FM radio station, WSNY, which claimed the promotion infringed on his "Top Bottom" trademark of Aug. 24.

Ted D. Bednarczyk, the manager, is still seeking profits from that promotion or $12,000 in addition to $100,000 damages, his attorney said. $9 20 off Lord Jeff slub knits Reg. $22 solids, 17.60; reg. $25 stripes, $20.

The workers, members of the Dairy Beverage Employees Union Local 361, voted by a substantial number to strike, according to union president Anthony Feudi. He said that the company had asked the employees to make concessions in a proposed one-year contract and that the members voted against it.

Robert Koder, owner of the business, said, "If they went on strike tonight, we'd lose $300,000 in one day, and I was not willing to take that risk." Koder said Babcock will remain in business as a distributor of milk products and juices, but will no longer package the products at the plant. "We'll use the building for administration, but we are currently shutting down all manufacturing operations," he said.
