Friday, July 14, 1972 Philadelphia Inquirer Recess to Avoid Pay Vote Decided in Secret Caucus Corner Says that the pay rises definitely influenced the decision. "Due to the fact of the political meetings and different seminars being conducted throughout the country which many of us will be attending," Comer said, "it would be the proper way to get all of us together for sessions. "So the members felt overall, coupled with the problem of compensation, that we should recess. It was the con Bv DANIEL J. BALZ Inquirer Harrisbwg Bureau JIARRISBURG.

Democratic members of the State agreed in a secret cau-cusiast week that the best way to handle the pending 62 percent pay rise would be to adjourn until September, Rep. Harry; J. Comer said VI hat wasn't the sole reason," said during an interview, "but we took a vote and we decided that it would be the best way to handle the pay rise so that no one would have to vote on it during an election year." Comer also said he regards much of the subsequent public opposition by legislators to the raises as being "as phony as a three dollar bill." "I don't know of anyone who opposed the idea in caucus," Comer said. "I didn't hear. (Rep.

Denny) Bixler make any complaint." BIXLER Altoona) had Comer said that many members of the General Assembly "want the raise as much as those of us 'who are outspoken for it, but due to the criticism in the press and the mail back home from some of their constituents, they're scared of it." HE SAID the idea to recess until Sept. 11, three weeks after the raises become law, was based on several problems facing the members, but sensus of all of us that this would be the proper way of doing the job. We felt a recess would be better than to be in a partial session, where you'd have some of us at other meetings. Then they, could level charges of absentee legislator on us." COMER SAID a special session would not be the best way to handle flood-relief problems. "If there is any additional help needed through the Leg islature," he said, "all Gov.

A legal move to halt collection of Philadelphia's $2 airline passenger head tax at the airport here was initiated Thursday by Allegheny County. County officials, who recently vowed to consider legal means to end the collection, filed a suit in Common Pleas Court seeking to enjoin Trans World Airlines and Allegheny Airlines from collecting the tax. Calling it "a nuisance to people" who use the county-owned-and-operated Greater Pittsburgh International Airport, assistant county solictor James Voss said: "The collection of the head tax has caused a turmoil with extra lines of passengerg who cannot understand why they should paying more to go to Philadelphia than before." PHILADELPHIA'S Mayor Frank Rizzo, learning of the county's action. simply said: "There's nothing we can do about it. We won't oppose it." Philadelohia's levy was put into effect July 1, and applied to passengers arriving cr departing that city's airport.

It brought the city criticism but Rizzo had predicted that sooner or later "every city with an airport" would come up with a similar charge. EARLIER this week the Philadelphia mayor indicated the city would have to modify the charge because it could not make other cities collect. One plan under consideration was to lift the tax on arrivals but make up for it by doubling the tax on departures. And more flavor than all of them.

They said Fischer felt the arbiter had violated the rules of the International Chess federation (FIDE) and would ask the match committee to cancel the results of the game. Under the rules they have 12 hours to make a decision. Icelandic chess sources quoted Fischer as saying he was not only protesting the cameras but also the fact that "there is a conspiracy against me here." The forfeiture put Fischer, 29, two games down in his attempt to wrest the championship from Spassky. FISCHER needs 12V2 points in the 24-game match to win. Spassky, as defending champion, needs only 12 points.

Theoretically, the Russian could win now by merely earning for half a point, in each remaining gams. Judge Lothar Schmid of West Germany announced the forfeiture when Fischer, playing the white pieces, failed to show up within the allowed hour to make the first move of the second game. "Ladies and gentlemen," Schmid said, "according to Rule Five of the Amsterdam Regulations, Robert Fischer has lost the game." The announcement drew applause from Icelanders in the hall. Fischer's aides say he never signed the Amsterdam Regulator, set up prior to the match to govern its play.

She was America's own Polly Benedict and played Andy Hardy's girl friend when Mickey Rooney carved that MGM role into the longest runnirg film serial ever made. Now, 30 years later, Miss Rutherford, surrounded above by roses and in Andy's 1931 convertible, has come out of retirement and has returned to the MGM lot in Hollywood for a starring role with James Garner and Katherine Ross in "They Only Kill Their Masters." Many in the crowd who turned out to cheer her, take her picture and get her autograph weren't even born when Miss Rutherford last left the lot way back in 1942. AlsO!

Ms. Clifford, the title she prefers, says she was told "I'd be a liability because all the messengers share the Joseph DePaola feat in the opening game Wednesday that he would not play unless all television cameras were removed from the hall. Negotiations between the organizers and Fischer's representatives went on throughout the day Thursday in an effort to resolve the impasse. Representatives of Chester Fox, the firm that bought exclusive television and picture rights to the match, took part in the negotiations. They offered to compromise with Fischer's demands by removing one of their closed circuit television cameras and relocating the others so they would not disturb the challenger.

THE PROPOSED compromise was not enough.

William Proxmire Wis.) said Thursday the nation's unemployment rate would have been 8 percent in the last three months if discouraged and part-time workers were figured in the avert ges. The senator defined a discouraged worker as one who has ceased looking for work because he has no hope of finding a job.

The unemployment rate has been figured in the 5 to 6 percent range by the administration, Proxmire said, with emphasis being placed on the increasing number of workers holding jobs.
