AID LISTS May Be Opened For Inspection By Voters Under Compromise In Ohio House, Senate Enquirer Bureau Special COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 9-A House-Senate conference committee compromise which would permit voters to inspect lists of persons receiving government help was accepted by the legislature today. The compromise would allow an elector of a county to go to the county auditor's office, sign his name and give his reason in writing for wishing to examine a list and then to make his inspection. Another committee change would prohibit use of names of recipients for commercial or political purposes.

The issue had been wrangled over throughout the session of the 100th general assembly. The Senate voted to open up the rolls, but the House merely provided for examination by a committee composed of certain county officials. Such lists were closed to view by the Federal government approximately 15 years ago as a result of us of such names in a campaign for Governor in Ohio.

The House voted, 99-11, tonight to accept Senate changes in the Highway Revenue Bill. This puts this measure in position to be sent to Governor Lausche for his signature.

urged passage the bill, which would raise $43 million a year for highway construction. After rights over the revenue bill, the axle-mile portion of which truckers fought bitterly, the Senate passed, 26-7, a proposal to submit to voters a $500 million highway bond issue. Sen. Stanley Mechem, defending Sen. Donald H.

Rolf in his complaint about being let down on an agreement, said that the Cincinnatian felt that all the highway money should go to build main roads. "I haven't backed up. I'm sticking to my promise," he declared. Sen. Fred W.

Danner Akron, chiding the Cincinnatians, asserted: "Be sure you know where you're going to be when you get doublecrossed." "compromised many things" because he was told the axle-mile tax was the only program which could be gotten through, Senator Rolf shouted. He compromised "for the sake of having a highway program." Then, he added, he found "some of the men who wanted a highway program" violating all the "honorable rules" of the Senate. Senator William H. Deddens, saying there was no justification for stripping the highway department of money to give to local subdivisions, declared that the "dignity of this Senate has slipped to a new low." Sen. J.

E. Simpson (R.) Forest, bitter foe of the axle tax, told Senator Deddens: "The chickens are coming home to roost." He harbored a suspicion that integrity slipped "when certain people decided to do certain things in the Senate Taxation Committee," he asserted. This committee handled the three highway issues. Senator Rolf was the chairman. The margin was so close on the revenue bill that it could not have been recommended without the votes of Senators Deddens and Rolf.

It was on Senator Collins that Senator Deddens turned his strongest words. He reminded him that July 6 Senator Collins offered an amendment in committee to make the cut in the allocation of funds and that three days later he had offered an amendment to do the reverse. "I am surprised to see your complete lack of integrity," he said angrily, looking across the narrow aisle at Senator Collins. Senator Collins, in urging restoration of the cut, said counties and townships "deserve a small portion of this huge watermelon." He read a list of how much more funds counties of several Senators would get as a result of the change. "The tax wasn't passed to allow Senators to have a watermelon to cut up back home, but to build roads," Senator Rolf objected.

The battle overshadowed that on the revenue bill, during which Sen. Lowell Fess Yellow Springs, called the bill "the product of brash young men doing the will of the railroad barons through the offices of a Democratic governor and men high in the Republican party." The 'House concurred, 109-4, in Senate changes in the bill to allocate million in highway maintenance funds to local governments. The Rolf Senate resolution to submit a $500 million highway bond issue to the voters was passed, 100-18, by the House.

DEMOCRATS Are Taking Over On Atomic Plant Jobs, Charge In Letters To Senator Bricker BY GLENN THOMPSON (ENQUIRER CORRESPONDENT) WASHINGTON, July 9- Charges from Ohio Republicans that payrolls at the atomic energy plant at Portsmouth are being loaded with Democrats with possible effects in next year's congressional election--were disclosed here today. John M. McElroy, administrative assistant to Sen. John W. Bricker, said several letters had been received making the same charge.

He read from one of them, written by Robert Peebles, member of the Republican state central and executive committee from the Sixth Congressional District, which first pointed out that construction employment at the Pike County, plant was expected to this year and 35,000 in 1954. Brown On Tour COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 9 (P)- Ted W. Brown, Secretary of State, will inspect election facilities July 21 in the rapidly -growing atomic energy plant area of A Pike County. Brown said today the county election board was studying plans for county-wide registration of voters this year for the first time.

The following day Brown and his staff will hold a "clinic" in Portsmouth for election officials of Scioto, Brown, Adams, Lawrence, Gallia, Jackson, Pike, Ross and Highland Counties. "These people," his letter continued," could very well change complexion of this district." The Sixth District elected Rep. James G. Polk Highland, in 1952 but by a margin of only 324 votes. Mr.

McElroy hardly had to explain that Mr. Peebles was afraid a big influx of Democrats would make it difficult for Republicans ever to capture the district. "I can state definitely, Mr. Peebles, wrote people on who June are 22, given "that consideration are Democrats who are brought here from Oak Ridge, Paducah, Los Alamos, or some other installation. All are Democrats.

"It seems. funny to me that the so-called 'merit system' should be so top heavy with Democrats. Or is it? course, the only people who have ever had an opportunity to exhibit any degree of merit are those who have been appointed under the administration. How can a Republican ever hope to demonstrate any merits?"
