Huntingdon W3-2693, Three Springs 448-3984 Williarosburg 832-2538 Republicans Prepare To Cut Budget HARRISBURG (U I) Pennsylvania House and Senate leaders promised quick action Tuesday on Gov. Milton J. Shapp's proposed $4.35 billion state budget, but Republicans complained he was using "phantom figures" they planned to cut. GOP, which controls the House, promised action within the next month on its bill to return to locaf communities some $256 million Shapp wants to spend for state programs. "We will not rubber stamp the governor's budget, but we will not offer blind opposition," said House Majority Leader Robert Butera, R-Montgomery.

"If his priorities are out of whack, or if we feel we would be mortgaging our future, we will oppose them," he added. House Speaker Kenneth Lee, R.Sullivan, said he was angry because Shapp resisted GOP calls for permanent tax-cuts all last year and claimed they would create a deficit. Shapp finally accepted a compromise tax relief plan that will cost $360 million in fiscal 1974-75, but still leaves the state with enough money to hike the budget 11.1 per cent. House Minority Leader Herbert Fineman, D-Philadelphia, charged Republicans with "ped. dling political palaver" in an election year.

budget battle won't be settled until late October because it doesn't serve the political posture of the Republicans in this election year to settle it before then," Fineman said. Both chambers probably will pass their own version of the budget by the end of May and the dispute will have to be settled by a joint conference committee before June 30 or the state will lose power to spend money. Agreement has been reached before the deadline in only two of the last 11 years.

Veterans Being Shortchanged, Says Shapp HARRISBURG (UP I) Gov.

Milton J. Shapp said Tuesday night Vietnam veterans were being shortchanged in government aid by the Nixon Administration and the Veterans' Administration (VA). "He (the veteran) gets miserly allowances toward his education which don't cover his tuition, let alone his living expenses. He faces long employment lines with no hope at the end," Shapp said. "This is topped off, in some instances, with second class treatment at VA hospitals," he said.

"In the meantime, those who are disabled are being treated to budget cuts." Shapp made the remarks at a legislative dinner held by the Pennsylvania Veterans of Foreign Wars. He urged the VFW to use its best lobbying efforts to make sure all veterans are treated fairly by state and federal governments. State Senate Passes Pro Life Bill HARRISBURG (UPI) The Pennsylvania Senate Tuesday passed a bill its chief sponsor said was a pro.life measure designed to reduce the number of abortions in Pennsylvania. The bill would prohibit most abortions after the sixth month of pregnancy and require a husband's approval before an abortion is performed unless his wife's life is in danger. The bill passed 42-5 and was sent to the House, where it faces an uncertain future, A House committee is considering eight bills dealing with abortion but legislators are reluctant to tackle the controversial issue until after the election, consider it definitely pro.

It bans commercial abortion referral services and makes pregnant teenagers get their parent's consent before an abortion can be performed, Articles In one year 380,353 umbrellas, 358,031 pairs of glasses and 170,189 shoes were left behind by passengers on Japanese trains.
