Shafer has picked up a strong lly in his fight to get the Senate to act on some key appointments. Senate Majority Whip Albert Pechan, R-Armstrong, said would urge his colleagues to heed the governor's call for immediate confirmation when the body returns Wednesday. "It seems to me that we've lad plenty of Pechan aid in a statement issued Monday. "It is imperative that we take action this week." Many of the appointments lave been hanging for months.

Urges Girard To Integrate As Quickly As Possible PHILADELPHIA (AP) The city has urged Girard College "to move as quickly as possible'' to implement the historic Supreme Court decision to integrate. "We hope that now the Girard trustees will take all the necessary steps to move as quickly as possible in the spirit of brotherly love to conform with the court order City Solicitor Edward G. Bauer said Monday.

John A. Dieman, president of the school's trustees, said he would withhold comment until he spoke to his attorney today. The nation's highest court handed down its decision Monday, apparently successfully ending a long and bitter legal struggle by civil rights leaders to integrate the all-white boys school for orphans, two-thirds vote in The Supreme Court, in another he Senate to confirm a gubernatorial appointment, necessitat- ng that both Republicans and Democrats approve of the appointee. Shafer said he did not believe the Senate questioned the qual- fications of his appointments, Negro hoys, but that the senators had "personal reasons" for delaying. Pechan, chief sponsor of the act that legalized thoroughbred racing, said he was especially lopeful that the Senate would confirm Shafer's three appointments to the new Horse Racing Commission.

"I know of no opposition to he nominees for the Horse Rac- ng Commission. It is imperative hat these men get to work, for am confident that we can still realize some revenue this year the commission gets estab- ished this week," he said. Although the General Assembly was in House until next key piece of egislation was the subject of closed-door talks Monday. Officials of the Shafer Admin- stration met for more than an hour with William Ball, general counsel of the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference, chief supporter of the nonpublic school aid bill. The governor has said he will not sign the House-passed measure unless certain amendments are added by the Senate.

One amendment would earmark revenue from thoroughbred racing, rather than a portion of the state cigarette tax, for such aid.

The high court's ruling involving Girard upheld a lower court decision to admit seven Phelan was convicted of the murders of Judith Lopinson, 25, nd Joseph Malito, in a bizarre un-for-hire plot. His appeal challenged the cen- ury-old M'Naghten rule used in to decide whether defendant is legally sane.

The ule, inherited from English ourts and a controversy in American ones, holds that a per- on who knows right from wrong legally sane. Phelan's attorneys contended ts application violated his con- titutional rights by denying iim a fair trial. Girard was founded 119 years ago under terms of a J6 million bequest by Stephen Girard, French-born Revolutionary War merchant and banker. His will stipulated admission to "poor, white male orphans." Lawyers for the Negro boys appealed in court that the school orphaned boys 6 to couldn't legally keep them out under the U.S. Constitution.

U.S. Dist. Judge John S. Lord 3rd, last July 5 ruled that Girard couldn't deny admission to blacks because of their race. He issued an injunction forbidding the to refuse to accept Negro pupils, as long as they were qualified.

The Third U.S. Court of Appeals unanimously upheld that now the nation's highest tribunal refused to upset it.

Minehart called the study 'whitewash" and said it- wa 'obvious" that the Shafer ad ministration "had no intentioi of making meaningful and need ed reforms in the liquor sale system." 'Creation of the blue ribbon was just another in "a ong series of similar moves by Shafer to give the public the 'alse impression that he wants mprovements in state government," Minehart said. "Proof of the farcical nature of the so called study came over the weekend with the disclosure that Shafer's attorney general, who is chairman of he 'blue ribbon' committee, deliberately and apparently uni- aterally excluded proposals that he monopoly system be discarded and that consideration be given to keeping state stores open longer and on some holidays." The committee is headed by Atty Gen.

William C. Sennett. tt was created by Shafer shortly after he took office in 1967. The committee's task is to study Pennsylvania's liquor monopoly system and recommend reforms.
