MacKAYE Minneapolis Star Staff Writer WINONA, Minn. The convention of the League of Minnesota Municipalities Friday rejected a proposal that the league lobby for eventual consolidation of police and firemen's pensions with the Public Employes Retirement association (PERA).

In a lopsided voice vote, the plank in the league's proposed legislative platform was returned to committee. Commissioner Milton Rosen, St. Paul, who said police, firemen and the council were opposed to the plank, led the floor fight against it. Representatives of fire and police groups lobbied actively against the resolution at the convention. The resolution would have asked legislative approval of a "plan whereby local municipal councils could bring the pensions of public safety workers under PERA.

One section of the defeated policy statement suggested public safety pension plans should pay no more than half salary after 25 years service and payments should not begin before the retired man reached age 58. Also stricken from the league's legislative platform at the convention's closing session was a proposal which would have restricted state electrical standards to no more than the minimum prescribed by the National Electrical code. Rosen urged the plank be returned to committee as did Alderman George Martens of Minneapolis. Martens said electrical contractors asked the proposal be given further study. 'Proponents of the proposal argued privately that the trade-dominated state board of electricity sometimes requires standards considerably in excess of national standards under the present loosely organized inspection system.

The league registered support of: "AMENDMENT No. 2, which would empower the legislature to pass a law giving voting privileges to persons who move from one precinct to another within 30 days of election day. Navy Goes All Out to Find Balloon POINT ARGUELLO, Calif. (UPI) The navy today deployed a small armada to find its lost 40-story balloon. After an unsuccessful search of coastal waters where the research balloon was reported to have strayed the navy ordered two destroyers to aid in the hunt.

UP Ten-year-old Paul Gulliver was listed by police today as missing since June 2.

It was the 19th time he was reported missing from home, police said. and Raven Industries, a Sioux Falls, S. balloon firm. Hovland, a lean six feet, three inches, believes he has done more balloon tracking than any other pilot. "It's tense work," he says, "but interesting because of the scientific importance of the upper atmosphere.

I wouldn't trade it for any other type of flying." One of the tricks is to keep the airplane operating smoothly at low speeds and greatly reduced power, when the engine would ordinarily tend to become fouled," Hovland comments. "During trips like this, my wife and family wonder when I'll get home, because it's so uncertain." The seven Hovland chil ports. Each working day began at 4 a.m. and didn't end until dark. Whenever Hovland was on the ground, he said, the balloon was tracked by radar.

"There's no time up there for anything but following the balloon and keeping in touch with all the people down below," Hovland said. "We're in contact with the truck crews, radar stations, the transport plane with scientific people, weather bureau and air traffic controllers. "On top of that there are signals to and from the balloon on a special radio frequency, and we have to record an exact fix (location) every half hour." Failure of the dropping mechanism was probably due to freezing, according to Hovland. The night of June 8, Cdr. Malcolm Ross, the navy's No.

1 balloonist and director of the project, called all the crews to a conference in the operations room at Randolph field, Texas. They decided to keep following the balloon because its photo record of nuclear bombardment became more valuable by the hour as it stayed up. They tried, but failed, to shoot the balloon down with cannon fire from jet fighter planes. The 10-day mission kept Hovland in the air longer than most transport pilots fly in an entire month. His main regret is that the chase had to be abandoned at the coast.

The navy, however, took up the vigil with radar ships. Hovland, a wartime pilot and former manager of the Austin municipal airport, began tracking balloons when he went to work for Winzen 10 years ago. Because this area has become a balloon center, he also made tracking flights for General Mills, Special to the Minneapolis Star AUSTIN, Minn. Glenn Hovland was home today in time to spend Father's day with his seven children after writing off Skyhook Glynco as the most frustrating job in 10 years of chasing balloons. Skyhook Glynco is the crazy giant of scientific research balloons that has drifted across the southern states for two weeks instead of coming down in three days.

Hovland, a pilot for Minnesota Airmotive flying service at Wold Chamberlain field, is perhaps the nation's most experienced balloon tracker. He was hired to follow Skyhook Glynco and send the signal that would drop its photographic plates at a spot where recovery would be easy. "But nothing happened when we pressed the come-d button Wednesday (June 8) and the chase was on," Hovland said in recounting the bizarre odyssey that took him across the country. He was forced to give up his part of the chase when the balloon soared over the Pacific, heading for Hawaii. he said, "being so young.

That was over 20 years ago. And for Shavers the thrill continues. On stage at Herb's bar where his quartet is appearing for two weeks, Shavers sparks the entire room with his enthusiasm. He twists and cavorts on Navy officials doubted that the mammoth plastic bag was off the coast after all. They said that if the radar sightings announced Thursday to be the balloon were incorrect, it was lost.
