The Iowa Air Quality Commission unanimously rejected a petition from the state's coal mining companies calling for relaxed controls on sulfur dioxide pollution from coal-burning factories. Iowa coal has high sulfur content On a separate vote, this one split, the commission decided to go ahead with a study that could toughen pollution standards in some areas of the state.

Commissioners said relaxing state standards would be meaningless because they would be overruled by more stringent federal regulations. "It doesn't make any difference what we do," chairman George Osborne told the coal company representatives. "If the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency doesn't approve it, it doesn't do you any good."

(AP) Senator Edward Kennedy pledged Thursday to mount a rules fight at next month's Democratic National Convention over a rule requiring delegates to vote for the presidential candidate they were pledged to, at least on the first ballot Since Jimmy Carter has far more delegates pledged to him than Kennedy has, changing the rules to free delegates from their pledges might hurt Carter but could not harm Kennedy's chances.

"That issue will be presented to the convention itself," said Kennedy, who also has promised to fight for changes in the proposed party platform as he pursues his longshot challenge to Carter's renomination. The Democratic Rules Committee voted this week to require delegates to vote on the first ballot for the candidate they were pledged to support. The 1976 convention had no such requirement, but an attempt by Kennedy forces to keep the old rule in effect was defeated 87V to 65Vi. The issue is critical to Kennedy, since Carter has more than enough delegates needed for the nomination. Kennedy asserted his determination to push for a rules fight after an address to the National Conference of State Legislatures in which he assailed "furious and foolish trying to cut federal revenue-sharing to the states, a program dear to the hearts of the state legislators in his audience.

On the question of a possible tax cut for next year, Kennedy was cautious. Alone, he said, "a tax cut cannot do the job" of fighting the recession. Kennedy is supporting a Democratic study group in Congress investigating the need for a tax cut this year. But he has consistently opposed Republican Ronald Reagan's call for a big across-the-board income tax cut. And he previously has opposed as premature talk of an income tax cut Floor fights at the convention next month will focus on economic platform planks and delegate loyalty.

And although Kennedy forces were beaten badly on the loyalty rule in committee this week, at the close of the two-day session the Carter camp began to make conciliatory gestures. When the Kennedy delegates said they would like extra time at the convention for debate on five issues defeated by Carter supporters in the rules committee meetings, the Carter group virtually promised they would get it. In addition to the loyalty rule, main topics of debate expected from the Kennedy camp will be: Kennedy's omnibus economic package, which calls for wage and price controls, anti-recession measures, assistance to business to help it compete in foreign markets and stronger enforcement of antitrust laws. A program that would create about 800,000 new jobs. Renunciation of recession as a means of fighting inflation.

Illlii The coal spokesmen argued that Iowa should loosen its restrictions anyway. "The issue is whether those restrictions are right," said Richard McConnville, attorney for McConn-ville Coal Co. of Bussey. "If you make a decision based on what you think EPA is going to do, then you're not doing your Job." Before the vote, Robert Dreher, attorney for Jude Coal asked the commission to reject the petition and allow coal miners to carry their fight to the federal level. Commissioners then disagreed over Until Thursday, Nollen Plaza gronndskeeper Chuck Shockley had resisted all temptations to wade in the appealing pool he supervises.

"The truth is that the federal budget cannot be balanced until the economy recovers," Kennedy told the conference here. "Under current circumstances, each successive round of budget cuts would only worsen the recession, reduce tax revenues and widen the deficit," he said.

Kennedy renewed his own formula for stabilizing the economy: a $12 billion jobs program, temporary wage and price controls and longer-term programs such as deregulating basic industries. He told his audience that efforts to balance the federal budget will produce a combined deficit for state and local governments of nearly $11 billion this year and as much as $16 billion next year. The Massachusetts senator also criticized members of Congress for in some campus buildings, he said. "I'm sure glad we don't have 22,000 students here today, or else we'd be in trouble. "The people that are a little more than irritated are those working in areas where air conditioner's have broken down," he said.

"We try to keep up, but we can't." The stifling weather also forces people to the pools. Employees at Mercer Park in southeast Iowa City said they have been averaging about 1,000 swimmers a day this week. On Monday, 1,511 took a dip at Mercer. That was 208 less than the pool's record set in 1971. In Cedar Rapids, residents escaped the sweltering 100-degree tercpatures being suffered by southwest Iowans.

Few, if any, problems were encountered by city workers. However, airport crews reportedly were working to repair routine bubbling on the runway, which occasionally occurs when temperatures rise above 90 degrees. By mid-afternoon, the temperature in Cedar Rapids had reached 91 degrees. In Dubuque the temperature hit a high of 88 degrees Thursday. 1 Recreation Department officials reported that Dubuque's two 500,000 gallon public swimming pools are getting big crowds.

They are, however, keeping their fingers crossed in connection with the Municipal Pool on the city's north side. The ancient machinery of the pool, built in the 1930s, could give out any minute, and if repairs aren't feasible cost-wise, the pool would be closed for good. The Mount Pleasant municipal pool Tuesday was closed indefinitely because of a faulty filtering system. The pool was the only public pool Mount Pleasant and now the closest public swimming area is 20 miles awav in Geode State Park. At least four persons were hospitalized Wednesday at Mercy Hospital in battling tornadoes.

But Iowans are still better off than people in the nation's Southwest. Heat-related deaths numbered 87 in Texas, 33 in Oklahoma, and 29 In Arkansas. The heat wave is in its 20th day today.

In Illinois there were six heat-related deaths, including a 27-year-old Menard Correctional Center inmate found Jead of heat stroke in his cell.

In domestic news, Ford lost 8164 million in its first quarter. In the comics, Charlie Brown was explaining to Snoopy the rules of tennis. In TV, ABC was interviewing for a new "Angel." In the ads, Wig City was running a huge ad for the "mother who is active." In general news, Trisha Resy of Fort Romeu, France, stopped sneezing after 204 days, and a small headline proclaimed, "TODAY IS THE LAST DAY, RELIGIOUS GROUP CLAIMS." The story went on to explain that a group from Montana and followers from several other states were in shelters awaiting the destruction of the world by a nuclear war. They had been preparing for doomsday for months and before going underground had met for "a lot of good food, a few speeches, and a little entertainment at a local restaurant." I know what happened to Walter, Snoopy, and the Ford Motor Company, but what happened to the group in the fallout shelters waiting for the end of the world? Are they still sitting in the bunker getting a little tense with all that togetherness? "I can't stand it any more, Dwight I've got to know what's going on up there. I'm going out and get a paper."
