VERty HAPPY THE BORN LOSER WINTHROP i I BARK LIKE A COG CPR BITE 7HE A CHAGECAIS, I'DUKExieEe GENERAL ASSEMBLY ROUNDUP 2 Major Court Reform Bills Expected to Receive Approval RICHMOND, Va. (AP) The House of Delegates of the Virginia General Assembly was sxpected to approve two major court reform bills today as major legislation continued to make its way to the floors of both House and Senate. The courts bills would abolish the current peace justice system, replacing it with magistrates, and would consolidate the current courts of record hodge podge of 62 circuit courts, hustings and corporation courts into 30 circuit courts. The circuits would have at least two judges each, and the bill includes a provision which ultimately would bring all of the courts of record judges in the state to the same salary level and end local supplements of state salaries. Del.

A. L. Philpott, D-Henry, chief spokesman for the bill, said, "If not in my lifetime, perhaps in the lifetime of you younger members, we may have a true system of state judges," being paid equally, "without them having to go hat in hand to the localities for salary sup plements." The supplements would continue under the bill, but the jceiling would be set at $40,200 the total salary, including supplement, of the highest paid courts of record judge in the state. That judge reportedly is Fairfax County Circuit Court Judge Arthur W. Sinclair.

The state salary for courts of record judges is $24,150, but supplevents by localities generally push the total salary to well above $30,000. In the case of the top salary, the county supplement is $16,050. The Senate Thursday moved swiftly on several key measures, suspending the rules to take up out of order and pass bills to permit the State Highway Department to take over the full responsibilities of the Elizabeth River Tunnel and Richmond- Petersburg Turnpike. That was the first step toward legalizing the spending of state-backed revenue bonds for widening the turnpike and building a third river tunnel. A few minutes later the Senate a bill authorizing the issuance of $103 million in bonds for the turnpike widening.

There is no money bill this session for tunnel but one is the neighborhood of $70 million in 1974. This action spurred a floor fight with "country boy-city boy" overtures. Sen. William H. Fears, D-Accomac, charged that the bills "onlv benefit two sections of the state" and did nothing for rural areas such as his Eastern Shore constituency.

Sen. William F. Stons, D- Martinsville, accused Tidewater, Richmond and Northern Virginia legislators with making a "deal" to back projects in the other areas in return for backing of local programs. Senators from all three areas staunchly denied the charges, but Stone concluded, "I'm not that naive. This is just the first step to get your foot in the door I say to the senator from Accomac, we've been had." Committees hustled through dockets Thursday, trying to clear as many of the measures out as possible.

The Senate Education Committee approved and sent to the floor a bill to extend state loans and grants to Virginia students attending private or ported colleges and universities in Virginia. The bill, sponsored by Sen Paul W. Hanns, D-Bowling Green, is similar to a bill already passed by the Senate and approved by the House Education Committee which would offer the loans and grants, but limit them to students attending private institutions. The other variance is that Manns' bill would make the loans based on financial need. Similar legislation was enacted last year but ruled unconstitutional by the Virginia Supreme Court because they provided no pay-back clause.

The court said the loans amounted to outright gifts. The new bills call for repayment through several methods which involved service of benefit to the state or by cash repayment. The bill which would limit the loans to private institutions was offered by Stone, who authored the bill ruled invalid by the courts. When the Stone bill was discussed by the House committee Thursday, Stone testified that "the best buy the state could get" would be to encourage students to drop out of overcrowded state- supported institutions to attend, private schools. Del.

Archie Campbell, D- Wytheville, a member of the committee, criticized the approach, saying it was "like giving green stamps." The House committee also approved a bill by Del. J. Warren White, D-Norfolk, which is almost identical to the Manns bill except it would also limit the loans to private schools.
