Like a portly Pied Piper, Louisville's Frank Burke led his fellow-mayors of the commonwealth yesterday morning in a march on Frankfort where, with outstretched hands, they hoped for state sales tax aid for their financially strapped cities. But by noon, they were on their way home again, most of them carrying nothing more than the sympathy of the Senate Appropriatons and Revenue Committee.

However, the committee had a special gift for Mayor Alfred Naff of Hopkinsville. He had scoffed at the committee's excuse that the $3.1 billion proposed biennial budget had no room for a sales tax rebate to the cities with: "I haven't' competitive marketplace would keep insurance prices in check.

Groups favoring continued state regulation of insurance premium rates scored a major victory yesterday at a legislative hearing.

NAUGHTON New York Times News Service INDIANAPOLIS President Nixon brought his Urban Affairs Council here yesterday for a meeting devoted to outlining administration thinking on a national policy to guide Washington's approach to the urban crisis. The 10-point policy outline, presented to mayors of 10 American cities by Daniel Patrick Moynihan, counselor to the Presi- dent, is based on the initial premise that "poverty and social isolation of minority groups is the single most urgent problem of American cities today," Moynihan said.

It was the first time a President has held such a meeting outside Washington, and the White House indicated there will be more in the. future.

This is what they said: Louisville. There is no sex education as such in the Louisville schools before the sixth grade, according to A. J.

Nixon yesterday By FRANK ASHLEY Courier.JournaltStaff Writer WILMORE, Ky. 20-year-old Gary Montgomery from Miami, walked slowly from the auditorium microphones, his eyes red from crying through a five minute testimony before 200 classmates. He had just taken part in Asbury College's spontaneous revival and was still trembling from the entire affair. "I don't know why I came to Asbury," the long-haired, mod-dressed youth said after his testimony.

"I don't even know why I came to this revival, but I'm glad I did. I wish everyone could come." The revival started at 10 a.m. Tuesday during a regular chapel hour, and Picture, Page 1 was still going strong last night, entering its 60th hour of continuous service. At noon yesterday, hundreds of Asbury students, many of them looking hippy-ish, like Montgomery, filled the college auditorium, waiting to pour their feeling through the two microphones on the big stage. An estimated 800 of Asbury's 1,350 students have made some new personal commitment to Christ since Tuesday, college officials said.

The private fundamentalist college, about 15 miles southwest of Lexington in Wilmore, Ky. (Jessamine County), has about 900 students. The seminary, which is nondenominational, has about 450. Sex Education on Trial Kentucky's 3 largest school systems don't teach what many By MIKE McKINNEY Courier-Journal Staff Writer How much should an elementary school student be taught about sex? That's the question that has swept the nation over the past two years and is now being debated by Kentucky's legislators in Frankfort. The current discussion about sex education in the public schools of Kentucky centers on a bill that says instruction concerning human reproduction belongs in the home and church exclusively.

Not in kindergarten or elementary class rooms. Introduced by Rep. John Isler, D-Kenton, House Bill 57 says sex education, if improperly taught, can be "morally damaging" to school children. "Think what some of these programs are doing and will do to your children and grandchildren during the coming years," Isler asserted, in defending his bill at a hearing Wednesday in the Senate chamber. In interviews yesterday, officials of animal reproduction for a "Chain of Life" chapter in a text published by Lyons and Carnahan.
