CARK.1 Sf AH Thursday, March 29 Senate is till haggling LITTLE ROCK (AP) The Arkansas Senate continued to haggle Wednesday over proposed salary increases of some employes in the Department of Industrial Development. Senators who were unhappy with the Increases were successful twice in defeating the bill that would appropriate operating expenses for the department during the next biennium. The bill was put to a vote twice Wednesday and It failed 5-8 the first time and 14-6 the second time. Twenty-seven favorable votes were needed for passage. The vote by which the bill failed'was expunged each time, however, keeping the measure alive.

The salary increases were in an amendment by Sen. George Ijocke of Hamburg that was adopted Tuesday. Under Locke's amendment, nine upper-echelon employes and a bookkeeper would be given substantial pay increases. Several senators contended there were Irregularities in the roll call vote by which the amendment was adopted. They said some senators who were not present were recorded as voting in favor of the amendment.

Senators apparently voted against the bill Wednesday in an effort to persuade Locke to remove his amendment from the bill. He told newsmen, however, that he did not intend to back down. When the bill came to a vote Wednesday, Locke said he "understood that some senators were upset" over the amendment and the manner in which it was passed Tuesday. He said, however, he hoped his colleagues would "be above such things" as trying to defeat the bill because of his amendment. Prior to the first roll call vote on the bill, Sen.

Nick Wilson of Pocahontas told Lt. Gov. Bob Riley, the Senate's presiding that he intended to ask for a sounding of the ballot, or verification of the vote, if the measure passed. Sen. Knox Nelson of Pine Bluff, chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, seemed irritated by Wilson's statement, and replied: "What are you trying to do Nick?"

Sadat named himself prime minister Monday night, supplanting Aziz Sidky, to "escalate the confrontation" with Israel, he said. On Tuesday, he increased the cabinet from 32 members to 37, doubled the number of generals to six, and brought in 19 new men. Abdel Kader Hatem, former minister of culture and guidance, was named second in command as first deputy prime minister for culture and mation. To many observers, the situation remains unchanged: Egypt preparing for war to strengthen its bargaining position but continuing diplomatic efforts to find a peaceful settlement. Sadat again had harsh words for U.S.

failure te pressure Israel into breaking the Middle East He also indicated relations with the Soviet Unjfe, wato supplier oj arjnj, But it was clear from his speech thjl poneero the domestic fnyit was a major factor hjs decision to take 's port(oik). Sadat has tried on the diplomatic front has worked, including the expulsion last July of 20,000 Soviet advisers, and criticism of him and his regime has been building at home. There were Moslem-Christian troubles last fall. At the beginning of the year thousands of university students demonstrated to protest the continuing deadlock with Israel and lack of campus freedom. Hundreds of intellectuals and journalists were purged from the ruling party and their jobs after Sadat accused them of trying to undermine his authority.

The people also are grumbling about high prices, breakdowns In public services, cumbersome bureaucracy and other things. So out went Sidky, the Harvard-educated architect of Egypt's postwar industrial revolution, and other technocrats in the 14-month-old cabinet. The right-wing Beirut newspaper L'Orient-Le Jour called them scapegoats but added, "From now on the boss is short of alibis and he blows it." Sadat acknowledged that some criticism of his regime may have been justified, saying, "I do not hide the fact that there still is some slackness in our work." But he added, "We found out that some departments are engaged in side battles which are Car from the general struggle." Brando: Interested in Indians TACOMA, Wash.

27. Brando had been nominated for an Oscar tor his role as the crime boss in the film "The Godfather." Brando came to Washington state nine years ago to join Indians Involved in a dispute with the state Game Department and the state Fisheries Department over off-reservation fishing. The Indians claimed they had treaty rights to gillnet for steelhead in all accustomed places regardless of state regulations covering off-reservation fishing. The state maintained they were subject to all regulations governing off-reservation fishing. It was on March 2, 1964, that Brando climbed into a canoe with Puyallup Indian activist Hank Adams and lowered the net into the Puyallup.

The following day, Brando led about 1,000 Indians and their supporters in a march at the state capitol in Olympia. He told the group there: "We made treaties as a young, weak nation when the Iroquois Confederation could have wiped us out. When we got stronger we broke them. The government has been trying to divide and conquer the Indians ever since. The Indians' rights must be protected." The off-reservation fishing dispute is in the courts, still unresolved.
