But the chances of any early Senate action appeared nil. Hennepin County Sheriff Donald Omodt and his deputies escorted four deliveries of fuel oil totaling 24,000 gallons to the City Hall Courthouse between 4 p.m.

Wednesday and 4 a.m. today. Omodt and his men, assisted by high Minneapolis police officials, forced bannering policemen and firemen to stand back while the fuel was delivered. The bannering of policemen and firemen had cut off deliveries of fuel oil to the building since Jan. 9 as part of a campaign to force the City Council to increase wages.

Natural gas is normally used to heat the building, but under a contract with Minneapolis Gas Co. a cost "penalty" is added if gas is used when temperatures dip below zero. During those periods, fuel oil usually is used. Omodt said he provided the escort at the request of the Hennepin County Board. The county rented a tank truck to make the delivery and used its own employes the Hennepin County Board, those of Norvin L.

LOUIS PARE H.O.V The City Council voted The two appointments HIGHLIGHTS OF LBJ's CIVIL RIGHTS PROPOSAL WASHINGTON, D.C. UP) Here are highlights at a glance of President Johnson's civil rights proposal submitted to Congress Wednesday. OPEN HOUSING Three stages leading to complete national ban on discrimination in sale or rental housing. Provisions would apply in 1967 only to housing insured or financed by the federal government; in 1968, to dwellings sold or offered for rent by someone other than the occupant and to buidings with five or more units; in 1969, to all housing. JURIES New safeguards to guard against discrimination in federal and state jury selection and to guarantee that juries are properly representative of the community.

EMPLOYMENT Equal Employment Opportunity Commission would be given authority to issue cease-and-desist orders against discriminatory employers. EXERCISE OF RIGHTS Legislation would specifically list activities "protected" as exercises of federal rights and would clarify and strengthen existing fedr eral laws against interference with such rights. as drivers.

The Legislative i 1 ing Commission has recommended the legislature appropriate $2.15 million for the first stage of construction of the school which is scheduled to move into its permanent quarters in the fall of 1969.

Temporary Facilities For the past two years the two-year college has been operating in temporary facilities in Osseo Junior High School. It will remain in Osseo until its new campus is built. The designation of the Brooklyn Park site answers a 1965 legislative request that the board find homes for five junior colleges in the Twin Cities area. Bloomington, Coon Rapids, Inver Grove Heights and White Bear Lake had previously been selected as sites for the colleges. Anoka-Ramsey State Junior College at Coon Rapids will open its campus this fall; Southwest State Junior College is scheduled to open in 1968 and the remaining two are to open in 1969.

Coster chief. He succeeds Elmer Hart, who retired last March 1. Capt. James Brekken is serving as acting chief. Coster will take charge of a force of 52 men and one woman about mid-March, Green said, at a salary of about $11,000 per year.

A veteran of 17 years of police work, Coster holds a degree in criminology from san mncisco Mate College He served for five years as a patrolman in San Francisco and eight years with the California Bureau of Nar struction. Apartment buildings are valued at the commercial assessment rate, 40 per cent of the assessor's full and true value. The bill has the backing of the St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority. James Hart, housing authority attorney, said the authority has been unable to persuade private developers to build apartments for middle-income families and the elderly in St.

Paul urban-. renewal areas because of high taxes. He said two federal agencies, the Federal Housing Administration and the Community Facilities Administration-will make loans at interest rates as low as 3 per cent but rents must be no higher than 20 per cent of a person's income. The developers argue that under present tax conditions, they cannot make a profit at those rates, Hart said. He said three apartment builders have indicated they will build in St Paul urban renewal areas if the proposed tax incentive bill is passed.

The two legislators, Sen. Nicholas D. Coleman, St. Paul DFLer, and Rep. Robert Johnson, St.

Paul Conservative, said they doubt if the bill could be passed un less it was limited to urban renewal areas. Coleman and Johnson agreed to try to get hearings for the bill before the taxf committees of their respective houses. cotics Enforcement.
