lanwville Daily Friday, June 10, 1966 Pollution Log Jam Broken MADISON (AP)-The Assembly approved 93-6 today a compromise committee recommendation on a water pollution control bill, but only after Democrats attempted to discredit Republican Gov. Warren P. Knowles' support of the proposal. The measure, agreed on by a six man compromise group Thursday, now goes to the Senate for final consideration. Has Some Tcrlh Assembly Speaker Robert Huber, D-West Allis, in one of his rare floor speeches, said it was the Democrats who "put some teeth" into it.

"Everyone in the East Wing Is talking about pollution," he said, "but I wonder if the friends of that East Wing will be happy with the bill when they discover the teeth we put in it." Knowles' office is in the East Wing of the Capitol. It was Knowles who set up a task force which recommended the original bill. Republican Minority Leader Paul Alfonsi, R-Minocqua, said Huber's remarks were a "bit intemperate." "I hope we all could share in the credit," he said. The action removed a final obstacle to an end of the six- week sessionl Leaders of both houses were discussing the possibility of adjourning without setting a specific date for returning. "It looks like the jam is broken," Assembly Speaker Robert Huber, D-West Allis, said Thursday after a six-man conference committee assigned the task of settling differences on the water bill completed its job.

"That's tentative because our caucuses must approve the conference report, but it looks promising," he said. 7-Man Board More than a week of frequent-! Iy frustrating negotiations ended with the committee agreeing on a plan calling for a seven- man part-time policy-making board to head the reorganized Department of Resource Development. Republican conferees persistently favored three fulltime commissioners to direct the department, but Democrats stood pat until the last on demands for a single director. The seven-member policy group, to be known as the Resource Development Board, would appoint a fulltime director to administer the department's day-to-day responsibilities. Under the director would be a deputy director and three divisions-water control, state planning and recreational development.

Under Governor The Department's present industrial promotion functions and the Office of Economic Opportunity would be placed directly under the governor. The water control division is intended to be the dominant part of the revised department. Besides having new powers to combat pollution of the state's waterways, it would administer a $300 million loan program to municipalities building sewage treatment plants. The loan fund maximum available originally had been $200 million. But another provision would delay the bonding program for loans until after May 1, 1966, except for those localities with special financial need.

Both houses stood idle much of the day Thursday as the lawmakers waited the outcome of the committee deliberations. All the priority legislation, except the water measure, already had been acted on. Democrats were especially anxious to wind up the session and turn their attention to the two-, day state convention beginning at noon today in Madison. A conference committee on the property tax relief for the elderly also reached a compromise, which was speedily approved by both houses Thursday. Relief Payments Up The measure would hike state tax relief payments to persons 65 or older by $1.9 million annually.

The color televisions, other electronics, aerospace, issues, airlines, photographic stocks, office equipments and other high-flyers of early 1966 made big recoveries from recent losses. Blue chips, while high enough to lift the averages appreciably, did not make anything like the progress of the more volatile issues. The market showed a steady tone at the opening and soon moved higher on the influence of a parade of big blocks in the favored stocks.

Merit Award Bill Signed Into Law Lewis Mittness, D-Janesville, named to the state Assembly'! joint finance committee as a freshman legislator, had his first authored bill signed into law yesterday by Governor' Warren Knowles. Numbered 961A, it is known as the Merit Award bill and is' expected, Mittness said, to save the government millions of dollars ultimately. Under the provisions of the bill, a fulltime co-' ordinator will be hired to implement cost saving suggestions such as those used in industry for many years.

"The Merit Award bill will in-, still and encourage state em-' ployes to start looking around for ways to help the various state agencies save money," Mittness said. "The beautiful part of the bill," he continued, "is that it will cost the government nothing, as awards will be paid out of actual savings." Employes contributing accepted cost-saving suggestions will' be paid one per cent of monies saved up to $1,000, he said.
