Corporate Objection A fascinating thing happened the other day: a corporation that 'make sophisticated communications equipment squawked because 'its products were being used in the Vietnamese War without its knowledge. This turns out to be not so strange after all, though. The to Sony, Japan's leading manufacturer of television equ- That puts the matter in quite another light. American corporations can drive both profits and patriotic pride from the use of their by UJS. forces In the war.

The Japanese see It differently: they fiture it's not their war, and they want no part of It. So Sony protested to UJS. Ambassador Robert S.Ingersollupon learning that TV cameras and receivers were guiding our "smart" bombs to North Vietnamese targets. That la interesting enough in Itself. It also would be Interesting to know how this came to be done without prior agreement.

Not to mention the reasons for using Japanese cameras and receivers in preference to products. Psychiatrists: Would-Be Assassin Said Uncooperative Asstmbfymon Sam Hoyes Reports UPPER MARLBORO, Md. "(UPI)- Arthur H. Bremer, 21, former Milwaukee busboy accused of trying to assassinate Alabama Gov. George C.

has refused to with psychiatrists at a Maryland mental Institution. This report was given Circuit Jurtffe Ralph W. Powers Monday during a hearing which ended with Powers delaying the start of Bremer's trial for three weeks. The trial was to start Wednesday. Dr.

John M. Hamilton, superintendent of Clifton T. Perkins State Hospital where Bremer was sent for examination, wrote Powers that Bremer "has refused to cooperate with or participate in medical and psychiatric examinations." Hamilton said he had been told by Secret Service agents that Bremer's defense attorney, Benjamin Llpstlz, had advised Bremer not to cooperate. Llpsltz would not comment on Hamilton's charges on grounds he had been directed by the court not to publicly discuss the case. Bremer Is accused of assault with Intent to murder the Alabama governor and three others May 15 at a Laurel, shopping center where Wallace held a campaign rally.

Lipsitz said the trial should be delayed because a defense psychiatrist would not be available to examine Bremer until July 15; a federal psychiatric report was not yet available; he did not have time to prepare his case before the Wednesday trial date, and the Democratic National Convention would adversely affect his client's right to a fair trial because of the publicity Wallace would receive. INTEREST PAID On 1 Year Savings Certificates Minimum Deposit $1000.00 First Blair County National Bank Millionaire Drawing Set HARRISBURG (UPI) Revenue Secretary Robert P. Kane said Monday that the next "Sudden Millionaire" lottery drawing will be held Wednes. day in Beaver Falls. The drawing will be the first for the grand prize held outside of Harrlsburg.

It will held in conjunction with the regular weekly drawing. It will also be the last draw, ing for several weeks because the recent floods here forced suspension of the lottery until further notice. The Beaver Falls drawing Is scheduled for noon. There will be 171 persons eligible for the millionaire drawing. It will be held in the municipal parking lot, or, in case of rain, in St.

Mary's Church. COMPENSATION COMMISSION Once again there is much controversy surrounding a pending salary increase for members of the executive, judicial, and legislative branches of state government. This latest problem was clearly anticipated by myself last June whenever legislation was enacted to create the Compensation Commission. I voted against creation of the Compensation Commission. There was little fanfare then about this method of establishing salary schedules.

removing the legislature from its direct consideration of salary schedules. All three branches of state government, the executive, judicial, "and legislative, are included in the commission's report. Members of the executive branch are to receive salaries up to $60,000 for Governor with cabinet officers receiving salaries of $35,000 to $40,000. The judiciary of Pennsylvania, which includes 342 judges, is to receive salaries ranging from $40,000 for county judges up to $50,000 for state Supreme Court judges. Members of the General Assembly are to receive $19,200 with $6,000 allowed for actual official legislative expenses.

My voting record regarding salary, expense, and pension considerations are as follows: A. I voted against the legislation which created the Comm- monwealth Compensation Commission. B. I voted against the amendment toleglslation which increased legislative expense allowances. C.

I was one of the House members who blocked consideration and passage of the so-called Senate Double-Dip Pension Plan for legislators. D. It is my position that the recommendations are inconsistent with the circumstances and problems facing us (natural disaster and unstable fiscal matters). Several measures have been introduced to require a vote on all or part of the report which will otherwise become effective after 60 days. Some of these measures would require action on only part of the report.

This type of legislation, by implication, endorses all the other salary increase recommendations. Many citizens are expressing a belief all recommendations are excessive. Therefore, I believe all the recommendations should have received legislative consideration. I am co-sponsor of a discharge resolution which would require a vote to be taken on all recommendations found in the not just part of the report. This resolution was introduced and would have appeared on the next daily house calendar for consideration.

I am the prime sponsor of legislation which would abolish the newly created Commonwealth Compensation Commission. I believe the people through their elected representatives should have direct control over such money matters and should not delegate this responsibility to an agency outside the legislature. Furthermore, by having such direct control we would not have to go through parlimentary maneuvers such as we are now experiencing. It is doubtful a majority of members in the House and Senate wish to depart from the newly created commission concept. Nevertheless, I expressed my position which I believe you and I share.

RECORD BUDGET At approximately 4:30 a.m. Friday, a record General Appropriations (GA) budget was presented the Governor. The General Appropriations Bill enacted into law last year spent $2.8 billion. This year's GA Bill will spend approximately $3.2 billion. This is an increase of approximately $400 million in one year.

an increase of approximately $800 in two years when considering the actual GA expenditure in 1970-71 was $2.4 billion. This action is not keeping with the taxpayers' desire to hold the line on spending. Whenever the budget requests of colleges and universities receiving state-aid are added, the General Fund budget increases approximately $400 million up to $3.6 billion. It must be remembered the General Fund budget is the largest single appropriation but is still only part of the total $6 billion budget requested for 197273. FLOOD RECOVERY A separate measure, House Bill 1754 was passed by the legislature and sent to the Governor for his signature.

This measure calls for $150 million in emergency flood disast9r funds. If you have a question concerning state issues, please contact me.

Fischer Favored In Chess Tourney REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) American challenger Bobby Fischer was the favorite of the experts in the "chess match of the century" today but Iceland's thousands of chess fans gave thplr almost undiluted backing to the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky. Cover Of Clouds Blocks Eclipse A cloud cover disappointed some scientists during Monday's total eclipse of the sun, but for the man in the street and Mrs.

Douglas Greening's cows, the momentary phenomenon meant very little. The eclipse occurred as the moon passed between the earth and the sun, casting a shadow of complete darkness in a thin line from Sakhalin Island north of Japan across Alaska and Canada. The phenomenon lasted for two hours and 13 minutes, beginning at 3:22 pm EOT in the Orient and fading out at 5:45 EDT in the Atlantic. Scientists who had set up their projects on Stanhope Beach on Prince Edward Island, in the direct path of the total eclipse, were disappointed when a last-minute cloud cover moved in and obstructed many of their experiments. "We got lots of pictures, but the cloudiness certainly affected the more sensitive of the projects," said Dr.

Donald H. Menzel, director of solar expedition for educational expedition international. Mrs. Greening reported the cows on her farm in Swastika, about 250 miles south of James Bay, were oblivious to the monetary darkness. Lincoln Given State Status HARRISBURG (UPI) Gov.

Milton J. Shapp has signed a bill confirming state-related status on Lincoln University at Oxford, Chester County. Under the new status, the predominantly black liberal arts university can initiate" capital development programs under the same terms as land grant institutions and state colleges and has the power to float tax exempt bonds within Pennsylvania. Lincoln University joins Pennsylvania State University, Temple University and the University of Pittsburgh as state- related universities. "They were real calm, Just chewing their cuds as usual," Mrs.

Greening said. "Really I didn't notice anything, ft was very You couldn't see thai was it." Colin Campbell, a reporter for Radio Station CJCH in Halifax, Nova Scotia, reported the temperature there dropped as much as 15 degrees and birds began singing their bedtime song and heading for their nests in flocks as the grayish purple darkness moved over the area. In Fairbanks, Alaska the sun was reduced to a crescent and Its light faded as though it were about to set. Townspeople watched the phenomenon In perfect clear weather through layers of exposed film. The total eclipse across northern and eastern Canada lasted for about 126 seconds, but a partial eclipse was evident for about half an hour.

Most residents of Canada and the northern United States witnessed only the partial they bothered to look at all. Family Killed In Plane Crash BRIDGEPORT, W.Va.

Pocono Rock Fofo Draws Criticism STROUDSBURG, (UPl)- A Monroe County commissioner vowed Monday to prevent another rock concert like the one last weekend which drew about 200,000 "orrttis to the area In the largest such gathering since Woodstock. The remarks were made at the first meeting of the commissioners of this Pocono Mountain resort area since Saturday night's concert.

All three commissioners said they had received numerous complaints from residents in the area of Long Pond, where the concert was staged at the huge Pocono International Raceway track. Among the complaints, the commissioners said, were property damage, dumping of trash and residents unable to drive about because all roadways in the area were jammed with cars headed for the raceway. Commissioner William Qulnn told the meeting Monday that he would "do everything in my power to see that this won't happen again." "I do not see why local residents should have to be subject- ed to this kind of treatment," said Forrest Stbflng, the eoun- ty sheriff. "Thank God nothing serious happened." The only fatality reported during the concert was a youth who was killed in an auto accl. dent while en route.

Another youth, Wllfredo Rod- rlguet, 20, of Bronxvllle, N.J., died early Monday In Allentown General Hospital, a day after he was taken to another hospl. tal from the rock concert. Rodriguez was admitted for observation to Monroe County General Hospital and then released. Four hours later police found the youth wandering in a dazed condition In Delaware Water Gap. He died later of head Injuries.

State Police Commissioner Rocco P. Urella said that the youths attending the concert were "extremely well behaved" and that there were no arrests. Urella said there were 125 state troopers assigned to the concert but that they were mainly used for traffic control. Use the Classifieds!

Chess Federation and one of Fischer's assistants, said "Bobby is go, go, go." Fischer expressed dissatisfaction Monday with arrangements in the hall where the match was to be played. Cramer said, "Fischer does not like the lighting, the board arid the pieces, the location of the television cameras and some other minor details, including the thickness of the window drapes." The first of 24 games in the $250,000 world chess championship match was scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. (1 p.m. EDT) after two weeks of uncertainty and controversy. unofficial poll among chess experts assembled in Reykjavik showed the 29-year- old Fischer the favorite.

But most of Iceland's 210,000 chess- mad citizens were behind Spassky. Only a few weeks ago the fans of Iceland were with the unpredictable American but he losi hts popularity quickly when he demanded more money and failed to show up in time for the scheduled July 2 start of the match. While Fischer was in New York demanding more money, Spassky was walking the streets of Reykjavik patting children on the head, conversing with local chess players and piling up points in the prematch popularity contest. The prize money was raised from the original $125,000 to $250,000 through a wealthy British banker named Jim Slater who came up with more cash to save the match.
