The revision would allow council terms to begin in April instead of June and would give new council members more time to study the next fiscal year's budget, the committee reasoned. PRIMARY ELECTIONS would be held on the fifth Tuesday preceding the general election, which would be held on the third Tuesday in March. The work of the 14-member committee, which began its task 22 months ago, can be adopted by the Cily Council without being put to a vote of the peo ple.

But Mayor Max Klass said that any recommendations the council considers meritorious would go to the voters before being adopted. This could hapn at the May 27 general election, he indicated. Another recommendation would provide that a councilman who decides to run for mayor must resign his council seat 90 days before the election. The temporary vacancy would be filled by a council appointment. OTHER recommendations were: Presentation of proposed ordinances and resolutions to the mayor and council before council meetings so they can be made available to the public at least 24 hours before the council convenes.

This would eliminate the need of a full reading of measures during the council session, except by explicit request of the mayor or a council member. Raising from $2,000 to $3,000 the limit on expenditures the council can make without calling for formal bids. Raising from $500 to $1,000 the limit on expenditures the city manager can make without council permission. -PUBLICATION OF the city's legal advertising in any newspaper circulated in Glendale, rather than confining such official city publications to newspapers in Glendale. At present only one newspaper is published in Glendale.

Although the committee made no recommendation restricting the length of the terms of mayor and council members, it forwarded to the City Council an opinion from the attorney general" thai such term limitations are legal. At present, council members are elected for four-year terms and can succeed themselves as often as re-elected.

Goldwater. however, hasjepeat-edly declared that Nixon is his choice. Strangely enough, Goldwater will not ba a delegate this year. Friends say hp wants to remain free to maneuver.

In addition to naming national delegates, the group will elect a national committeeman and national committeewoman Because Middleton is now happily cm-ployed in the Nixon campaign, it is doubtful that national commitfeenvn John Heugh will have any opposition for election to his first full four-year term Haugh was elected in lOfifi to fill a vacancy created by the death of Jim Wood, long-time committeeman.

NATIONAL committeewoman Margie Braden of Yuma also is not expected to have opposition.

Ronald Reagan of California is scheduled to receive a more than ordinarily warm welcome in Phoenix when lie arrives at Sky Harbor Airport Tuesday for a Republican speech. The Arizona Republic was informed that a California advance man was attempting last week to hire a Phoenix public relations firm to arrange a "spontaneous" demonstration at the airport.

THE ADVANCE man reportedly was acting under the direction of F. Cliiton White, the former New York political genius who backed the draft committee lor Barry Gold water in 1964. Meanwhile, Arizona Young Americans for Freedom announced they will hold a rally for Reagan at the airport; upon his arrival at 3 p.m. at the west terminal. Gate 21.

SITTER Federal agents are uncovering a rapidly growing number of employer viola- tions of wage and hour laws, a govern- ment spokesman said yesterday. About $616,000 has been recovered in the past nine months for employes who were short-changed by their employers, said John Breen, head of the Arizona field office of the U. S.

Labor Department's wage-hour division. "This amount," said Breen, "is 30 per cent more than we recovered during the previous 12-month period and involved about 4,000 Arizona wage earners." HE ATTRIBUTED much of the increase to a stepped-up investigation program and a larger staff of investigators. The wage-hour division, Breen explained, enforces federal minimum wage, overtime laws and the Service Contracts Act, which regulates pay rates for workmen involved in government contracts. About $500,000 of the total collected by Breen's office came from employers who neglected to pay time-and-a-half rates for work over 40 hours a week. FAILURE TO PAY the federal hourly minimum wage, now varying from a low of $1.15 for agriculture workers to $1.60 for many other classes, netted workers more than $90,000 since last July.

During the same nine-month period Breen revealed, the department has brought suit against 15 Arizona employers in federal court, charging them with infractions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Out-of-court settlements were reached in each case, Breen said. In no other recent full fiscal year period, he added, has the government brought more than five similar suits. An additional $6,000 was obtained from employers who had paid women employes lower rates than men holding the same jobs. This involved about 50 persons, Breen said, most of them working in retail stores.

ANOTHER $20,000 was paid by employers holding government contracts. "Amendment of the wage and hour law in February 1967," said Breen, "made more people conscious of the fact that there is such a law." The amendment, he explained, brought an additional 8 million workers under the law. These included some agricultural workers. However, the law still excludes many millions more, most of them in low-paying jobs. Since July 1, said Breen, his agents have conducted more than 350 investigations, compared to 250 in the same period a year previously.

Uof A Gets Grant For Research on Cancer and Heart Southern Arizona Bureau TUCSON The University of Arizona has received a $296,991 federal grant for continued support of a medical research program on cancer, heart disease and stroke. Merlin K. DuVal, M.D., dean of the UofA College of Medicine, said the year-old program is concerned with de-termining medical service needs throughout the state for assisting health workers in managing the three diseases. Dermont W. Melick, M.D., UofA professor of surgery, is coordinator of the program which is supported by U.S.

Department of Health, Education and Welfare funds. Melick said a comprehensive survey of Arizona medical needs related to cancer, heart disease and stroke will be started this month to collect information on health manpower and facilities in the state. Survey questionnaires prepared by the UofA team will be mailed to all health leaders, chiefs of voluntary health agencies, hospitals, clinics and nursing directors and community physicians. Tory Leader Jeered At U.N. Conference EDINBURGH (AP)-Opposition Conservative leader Edward Heath was deluged by jeers and catcalls from delegates at a United Nations Association conference yesterday.

The storm burst when Heath said it was a mistake to use U.N. peacekeeping machinery to deal with governments unpopular among the majority of member nations such as South Africa, Rhodesia and Portugal. Delegates hissed and booed when Heath asserted: "such regimes do not, in flit, offer any threat to international peace and security." ing locating in the Hopi Industrial Park at Winslow, according to Fredericks. are screening these inquiries" now and we're waiting to see how the BVD plant goes," he added. The tribal leader said some of the industries making inquiry would require considerable water, something thai; would require planning with the City of Winslow.

COOPER WINSLOW The Hopi Indian tribe, fast on the heels of its plunge into industrial development, is having a go at tourism. Economic Development Administration officials in Washington are studying a tribal application for $601,300 to construct a Hopi Cultural Center on the reservation north of here. The tribe started construction in February on a $1.2 million industrial plant on tribally owned land at Winslow. Leaders of the tribe are now seeking financing for further expansion of the industrial park.

THE PROPOSED cultural center would include a motel, swimming pool and restaurant, a two-story museum, a crafts workshop and sales store, all in a complex on or near Second Mesa. Total cost of the proposed construction is $746,000, of which $144,700 would come from tribal funds. The Tribal Council voted Jan. 31 to apply to the EDA for the financing. The application has been forwarded to EDA and, according to Jean Fredericks, chairman of the tribal council, EDA officials are studying the proposal.

Fredericks said the tribe doesn't know when it will receive word concerning the application. The tentative location discussed by the tribal council for the cultural center is adjacent to the tribe's Hopi Arts and Crafts Cooperative Guild Store on Arizona 264 between Oraibi and the junction of Arizona 87 and 264. Another possible site is the junction of the two highways below Mishongnovi. THE TRIBE IS hoping that the cultural center will greatly expand tourism on the reservation by providing a base for tourists who wish to take more time to explore the villages. A projection of the employment surrounding the cultural center development shows that as many as 34 persons could be employed, helping to relieve the chronic unemployment of the tribe's members.

Fredericks said the tribe also is seeking money for further construction of the Western Superior Corp. (BVD Co. subsidiary) plant in Winslow. "We're searching for ways and means of getting $4.5 million to continue construction at the Hopi Industrial Park," Fredericks said. Now under construction is the first phase of the Western Superior plant, a 1 20 oot facility that will em-, ploy 200 workers and cost the tribe $1.2 million.

Future plans call for an additional two buildings which would expand employ ment by an additional 450 persons. "WE HOPE TO KEEP the present 'contractor on the job, so we hope to have the financing ready when the first building is done in September," Fredericks said. "Then we can go right on with the construction work and save some money." The tribe also has receive many inquiries from other industries concern j0 felSk 10,000 Scours To Hail Veteran Leader Miller George F.
