(AP) Prison guards wounded 24 convicts Monday by firing shotgun blasts into a crowd of penned-up prisoners to force them to go to work. Supt. Victor C. Urban con firmed the shootings. He also said the shotgun blasts, with birdshot, were a reasonable tactic under the circumstances.

No convict had any type of weapon, Urban said. 100 Refused ADout iuu prisoners had refused to work in the fields until the prison system complied with several of their demands. But during the morning, about 22 of the prisoners changed their minds and went to work. The remaining 75 or so were in a fenced enclosure when the six to a dozen shots were fired. Those who weren't wounded j.

Fed- Congress Quits Until Next Year By Robert C. Albright iij The Washington Post WASHINGTON, D.C. The Ninetieth Congress finally ad journed for the year Monday. It lacked the quorum technically required to adopt an adjournment resolution, but no one bothered about such formalities in the rush to go home. The adjournment proposal was approved in both chambers without anyone insisting on a quorum call.

Drops Demand Representative James G. O'Hara Mich.) cleared the way for the closing by dropping his demand of last Friday for a House headcount to determine whether at least half the House 217 members was actually present. Insistence on a quorum last Friday blocked adjournment at that time, al though leaders said all important business was finished. OTIara's original delaying decision was designed to give Senate Democrats time to break a debate. O'Hara told the House that after reconsidering his position over the weekend, he decided not to demand a quorum.

O'Hara said he was con vinced, in any event, that Sen- V' 1 ale Republicans, led by Everett M.

The resolution was offered by Councilman Jack Woods. Only Woods and Robert L. Scott voted for it.

"Must Arrest" The resolution stated that "all peace officers, the mayor and councilmen of this community are to immediately disperse any unlawful or riotous assemblages, and if such persons (do) not disperse, such officers: must arrest those unlawfully Woods said his resolution was simply a request for the council "to support the Police Department to enforce laws that are on the books." Councilman Jens Grothe argued that "the resolution assumes certain things to be a fact when I say there isn't any evidence that such facts exist." Grothe said: "The city manager (Tom Chenoweth) has sole responsibility for the Police Department and I don't think he needs any resolution to tell him how to run his department." Councilman Scott questioned whether all laws are being properly enforced. He said a local minister told him recently about a girl who was raped in the city. No Action The minister, Scott said, was told by a policeman that no action could be taken against the culprit, even if he was caught. Councilman Leo Gross, an opponent of the resolution, said "I'm prepared to stay here to daylight" to find out which police officer made the comment. The officer's name was not revealed.

The bond issue needs a 60 vn cent majority to be approved. Same Rate Dr. Caudill explained his "lit-j tie or no tax increase" state ment this way: The board, if voters approve the bond issue, will not need to sell all the new bonds at one time, but rather would issue them at about the same rale that presently outstanding bonds are retired. Thus, said Dr.

Caudill, the school district's indebtedness would not be increased. In addition, said Dr. Caudill, the bonds would not be sold until a favorable rate of interest was available. He pointed out that the board might be able to sell bonds at a favorable rate of interest, say 4 per cent, and invest the money at 6 per cent until needed, thus cutting down the debt. Finally, he said, a special 2'2-mill schoolhouse tax levy, a separate part of the Nov.
