PORTER JR. Of the Post-Dispatch Staff St. Louis Air Pollution Control Commissioner Charles M. Copley Jr. today urged Missouri's clean air agency to call the Federal Government's bluff on emission rules for the St.

Louis area. If the government insists on needless regulations, Copley said, let it enforce them. In testimony before the Missouri Air Conservation Commission here today, Copley called the government's demand for restrictions on emissions of oxides of nitrogen from large industrial plants needless and unwarranted. He said 95 per cent of the pollutant in the St. Louis area results not from industrial plants but from automobile exhaust.

A regulation conforming with nitrogen oxide guidelines would affect only six industrial boiler3 and two Metropolitan Sewer District sludge incinerators in St. Louis and a small fertlizer plant in southern Jefferson County. It would result in a decrease of only eight tenths of 1 per cent of the nitrogen oxide released into the atmosphere, Copley said. Furthermore, Copley continued, the Government's antipollution agency, the Environmental Protection Agency, has The state agency receives $288,000 of its annual budget of $432,000 from the Government. Durst conceded, however, that the agency's regional office would be hard pressed to take over the job, at least for a year.

The levels of the substance have been measured by a monitoring technique that the agency itself admits is unreliable, he said. Finally, the technology for controlling nitrogen oxide emissions from industrial sources is still in its infancy, he said. "Expensive tinkering using little known or nonexistant technology on minor sources would seem largely a waste of time," he said. H.

D. Shell, acting executive secretary of state panel, agreed with Copley but would not go so far as to recommend leaving enforcement to the federal agency. "The federal game of paper air-pollution control must go on," he said. Dwaynne Durst, Kansas City regional direction of the federal clean air program, indicated clearly that he agreed with Shell and Copley unofficially. Officially, he said, if Missouri does not formulate nitrogen oxide restrictions by July 31, the federal agency will do so and will undertake enforcement.

Furthermore, he said, the state and local programs will forfeit from their federal grant support the amount such enforcement requires. lowed to vote in the Aug. 8 primary. But last Wednesday the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that a person must be 18 to vote in the primary and still could vote in the general election if he turned 18 between the primary and Nov. 7.

Danforth's latest opinion, requested by St. Louis Election Board Chairman John T. Wiley, says that because the state Supreme Court ruled that age requirements apply for primary elections, residency requirements also should apply to primaries. Danforth's opinion says that anyone establishing residence in the state 28 days or less before the election, be it primary or general, cannot vote in the election. The 29-day requirement is applicable also in elections where registration is not re-ouired.

he said. The opinion says the state constitutional requirements tor one-vear's residencv in the state and 60 days residency in a county or city are invalid. Mayor Urges University Club Not To Move Mayor Alfonso J. Cervantes has sent a letter to all members of the University Club urging them to remain at their present site at Grand and Washington Boulevards, rather tnan move to a site near West-roads Shopping Center in Richmond Heights. The members voted in January to move to the new site, which is closer to the residences of most members, a spokesman said.

The club is one of the most prestigious in the city and has been at the site since 1917. "I would hope that you would impress upon your officers that the retention of the present midtown site, for the University Club will not only meet your social and civic responsibilities but in the long run will be advantageous to you as a member because of its convenience and financial advantage," the Mayor's letter said. It noted that the city had reduced crime in recent years, while it was rising in St. Louis County, that the club was centrally situated and that it would be near a new convention center and a new airport in Illinois.

Regular 19.99 I if JEFFERSON CITY, July 19 (AP) Anyone who has lived in Missouri at least 29 days before a primary or general election can vote in the election, attorney general John C. Danforth said today. The opinion amended an earlier opinion by Danforth shortly after the United States Supreme Court struck down Tennessee's one-year voter residency requirement.

Spokesmen for the St. Louis and St. Louis County election boards said the opinion required them to make no changes for the Aug. 8 primary, either in allowing additional voters to register or removing persons who already have registered. In the earlier opinion, Danforth held that the state constitutional requirement of 60 days residence in a county, city or town was applicable to general elections but not to primary elections.

Danforth declared also then that a 17-year-old who will become 18 before the Nov. 7 general election must be al- Fischer Defended FROM PAGE ONE clocks and bound copies of a magazine titled "Chess Life and Review," younger members of the club discussed Fischer's first loss to Spassky. Steve Miller, 15 years old and a member of the club for more than a year, said Fischer lost because he committed "an error, an outright Moments later, however, Miller was explaining that Fischer's real error had been to refuse a sure tie and to try for victory against great odds. That was a courageous kind of error, Miller said. As the talk continued, the word genius recurred.

State Workers Fined In New York Strike ALBANY, N.Y., July 19 (UPI) -About 7000 state employes found substantial bites taken out of their paychecks today as the administration of Gov.

Nelson A. Rockefeller deducted fines for those accused of participating in the Easter weekend strike by the Civil Service Employes Association. The money, ranging from about $50 to $200 a person, amounted to two days' pay for each day off the job during the 40-hour strike. The civil service association and Council 82, representing the stage's prison guards, obtained temporary court orders against the "deductions. However, the court orders were lifted when the state attorney general's office filed a notice of appeal.

A hearing in each case is set for July 28, and the lost money could be refunded if the union challenges to the penalty procedures are successful.
