(AP Wirephoto) Brown County United Way has set Its 1973 campaign goal at $670,000 the same goal it attempted to achieve in the 1972 campaign. 'The 1972 goal was not attained, with a total of about $607,000 being donated.

How-ever, United Way officials are hopeful that improved economic conditions will be more conducive to success. The $670,000 figure represents an increase of about 10.3 per cent over the $607,000 raised In the 1972 campaign. Generally, the Increase Is due lo United Way not having additional funds to use as it did last year when a Medicare refund to the Visiting Nurse agency saved United Way a substantial sum and natural rising operational costs for I he agencies. However, Roger Fitzsi-m general campaign chairman, said the current goal "Is no expansion goal," indicating the agencies will be allocated only what they need to operate without expanding programs. It was pointed out that several agencies which had expansion in mind when they submitted a precampaign allocation request will not get the money to do it from United Way.

For example, a Family Ser-vice Association funding request for seed money to capture a federal grant for I'ounseling of residents at the Brown County Youth Home, was not included in its precampaign tentative allocation. The same holds true for the Legal Aid Society, which had originally requested additional funding to secure a federal grant for a public defender's office. The Green Bay Nursery tentative allocation does not include funding for an addition-it! day nursery in the city. And Curative Workshop will probably be unable to fill some of the positions it had reflected in Its precampaign request, since its tentative allocation was cut substantially. One of the reductions in the United Community Council allocation is illustrated in the fact that the position of planning director, recently vacated of Mrs.

Marry Ann Pa- rott. will not be immediately filled. Fitzsimonds said he felt the 6 70, 00 0 mark could be achieved this year because trends indicate that fall of this year and 1973 will be economically more strong and secure. Officials decided that the failure of last year's campaign was due to the fact the community, was not economically prepared to meet the goal at that time.

The Democratic party hierarchy and forces of Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley are both fighting a- U.S. appeals court ruling but for different reasons.

The party hierarchy asked Burger to suspend the effect of the appeals court ruling, which and will have subpoena powers to summon witnesses and records, Lucey said. GEORGE CURRIE Among the agencies probed will be the state Investment overrode the party Credentials Committee to allow McGovern to recover 151 California convention delegates. The party brief claimed that the appeals court has "thrown the country into a constitutional crisis" by dabbling in the selection of delegates to the political convention.

The Supreme Court, Kester said, is being asked, "to restore the judiciary to its proper place." ion, apologized for his "disrespectful behavior." Fischer, whose delayed arrival doubled the prize money for both him and Spassky but also started an.

avalanche of confusion, asked the Russian to "accept my sincerest apology." "I simply became carried away by my petty dispute over money with the Icelandic chess organizers," he WTote. The written apology from the American challenger was one of the chief conditions posed by the Russians before Spassky would sit down at the chess board with Fischer. Fischer told Spassky: "I have offended you and your country, the Soviet Union, where chess has a prestigious position." The temperamental American also apologized to Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, the Icelanders, "the thousands of fans around the world and especially to the millions of fans and the many friends I have in 2 Hijackers, Passenger Die as FBI Storms Jet his hands on his head, and the second came up shooting, blasting away with a shotgun." hijacker "crumpled to the floor," said Alvarez. The FBI said the gunman had an automatic in each hand but did not open fire.

In the rear of the plane, the other hijacker had another automatic and fired at least three shots, the FBI said. The second hijacker went down almost immediately from FBI gunfire, Gebhardt said, and like the other, was dead on arrival at the hospital. The hijackers also held the plane's five crew members. In previous U.S. hijackings no attempt has been made to board a hijacked airliner while the passengers were still aboard.

"I know you to be a sportsman and a gentleman, and I am looking forward to some exciting chess games with you," Fischer concluded.

PRESS-GAZETTE MAOISON BUREAU MADISON Former State Supreme Court Chief Justice George Currie was named today by Gov.

Patrick J. Lucey to head a five-member commission investigating state real estate and building transactions. Lucey named Currie to the post at a press conference here, saying that the commission will have free reign to investigate all state building policies including questionable real estate transactions uncovered by the press. The governor asked that the commission complete its work by the end of the year so that HHH Hints Wallace Favors Him WAVERLY, Minn. (AP) -Sen.

Hubert H. Humphrey says he believes Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace would support him for president if he is Democratic nominee. "He could be an active spokesman for some of us," Humphrey said Wednesday.

"I believe he could and would give me support." Humphrey also said he thinks Wallace, would support Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington if Jackson is the nominee, and possibly Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, but not Sen.

George McGovern of South Dakota. Humphrey, who lately has adopted a conciliatory stance toward Wallace on issues other than civil rights, said he believes that if the Democratic National Convention faifs to choose a nominee on the first or second ballot, up to 75 per cent of Wallace's delegates would support Humphrey. Humphrey once said tlatly ne couldn't accept Wallace as a vice presidential running mate, but dropped that stance after losing the California primary to McGovern. He has encouraged" fellow Democrats to make Wallace welcome at the convention, which begins Monday in Miami Beach, Fla. Humphrey was interviewed Wednesday at his lakeside home here, where he is resting before flying to Miami on Friday.

"I think that Wallace is going to stay in the party," Humphrey said. "I've said that from the beginning and everything I've said or done has been directed toward that objective because I believe that if he, even in his present physical condition, were to bolt the party, it would be very Injurious to us." If McGovern is the nominee, Humphrey said, "the question is would Wallace come out for Nixon. After my visit with him, I think it's less likely." Humphrey visited Wallace last week in the Maryland hospital where Wallace is recuperating from gunshot wounds suffered several weeks ago at a campaign rally. During the interview. Humphrey said he will stay in the race for the nomination even if it means a walkout by McGovern supporters.

Humphrey said he thinks McGovern has hurt his chances for the nomination by threatening to run as an independent candidate if the Democrats deny him the nomination in a way he feels is unfair. Humphrey also said he doesn't take that threat entirely seriously. "Maybe the wish is father of the thought, but I tend to discount it," Humphrey said. He added that such a threat won't influence his decision to stay in the race. "I surely would not submit to political blackmail," he said.

Humphrey couldn't explain the reason for the attraction he claims to have for Wallace delegates. "It's really a subjective thing. I can't put my finger to it, but I know it's a fact," he said. Wallace Prepares SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) George C.

"Certainly we're not pleased that three passengers were wounded," said Robert Gebhardt, FBI special agent in charge. He made the comment before learning that one of the passengers had died. "But," he said in response to a reporter's question, "somebody had to make a decision." Three FBI men who had sneaked up under the fuselage of the plane rushed aboard after the hijackers refused to into consideration the worst allowable operating conditions, including a situation where individual fuel elements in the nuclear reactor would be defective and no dilution with lake water would occur.

Tomb to Honor Unknown Soldier From Viet Planned Just in Case An environmental study just completed indicates that radioactivity will not build up to hazardous levels in the water and Invertebrates of Lake Michigan from nuclear power plants now operating or under construction. The study was conducted by Environmental Research Group, Inc. (ERG), of Ann Arbor, Mich. It involved samples of photoplankton, zoo-plankton, benthos, water and sediment collected from Lake Michigan In 1969-70 by the Great Lakes Research Division of the University of Michigan. (Examples of photoplankton include small algae such as diatoms; of zooplankton, water fleas; of benthos, Insect larvae and The on-going study of lake conditions is believed to be-the first of Its kind and magnitude.

Funding came from six electric power utilities operating in the four states bordering on the lake, Including the Wisconsin Public Service Green Bay. The total outlay will exceed $380,000. Dr. Richard A. Copeland, president of ERG, was the study director.

He pointed out the organisms studied are at the lower end of the food -chain and constitute a major, source of nutrition for fish, "As a condition of their license, the utilities are required to operate within present or proposed Atomic Energy Commission standards," Copeland said. "We have determined that their radioactive discharges pose no threat to Like Mich- jean." Copeland said the study took President Eisenhower buried unknown soldiers from World War II and Korea. "Soon," Nixon said, "another unknown may come to resf on this hallowed ground. We pray he will be the last." The tomb area, adjacent to the cemetery's amphitheatre, is a popular attraction for tourists, more than 4,000 of whom come each day to watch the changing of the honor guard. Congress has approved $2 million for the renovation which is intended to provide better access to the area and a better view of the ceremonies.

Beller said the amphitheater and tomb area will be closed for 18 months during the construction work. Visitors still will be able to view the guard change, but from a greater distance. It has been nearly 11 years since the first American died in combat in Vietnam, on Dec. 22, 1961. Since then, 45,791 GIs have been killed in action, all Identified.

Cemetery planners say they have decided to go ahead anyhow, In the event one is found.

"We hope there won't be one," said Bobble R. Beller, Arlington's project engineer. "But with the number of fatalities and the number of missing in action it's possible one will be found in a final sweep of the battlefield. "If not," Beller said, "the tomb will not be used." The tomb, a sunken crypt marked by a pink marble slab, will be placed between similar tombs honoring unknown dead from World War II and the Korean war and near the first tomb housing an unknown soldier from World War I. Beller said the Army wants to build the fourth tomb now because the tomb area Is scheduled for major renovation and because of President Nixon's call for such a memorial.
