Thomas Har-niah, D-NeilUville, said the amendment would "destroy" the 7th District community of interest of the Wisconsin River Valley and its paper industry. Bablitch said the new bill met all the objections in the vetoed bill of Dreyfus, the League of Women Voters and Common Cause. A motion of Sen.

Walter Chilsen, R-Wauaau, Repub jority leader, told his caucus before the Senate acted that the bill should be passed because of a probable court suit over redistricting. "Right now, I think there is a pretty good chance somebody will go into federal court before we come back in January," he said. Bablitch said the courts would look first at whether redistricting bills met one person-one vote requirement and that the courts would consider a bill "even if it was passed by only one house."

David Obey, who is paranoid on this subject, and Congressman Sensenbrenner will get together," he said. "It's obvious there is not enough support here to take up reapportionment.

So I'm going to lunch," said Rep. Thomas Loft us, Sun Prairie, Democratic floor leader. on reapportionment for hearings failed 19-13.

It would have put Vilas and Forest counties in the 7th District and moved the southern parts of Wood and Lawmakers approve hike in state workers' salaries around Wisconsin )f A if 1- MADISON (AP) The Assembly and Senate overwhelmingly approved new contracts Thursday granting thousands of state employees pay increases of about 8.6 percent during each year of the 1981-83 fiscal bien-niurn. But legislators postponed action on a controversial plan to give 7 percent increases to themselves, judges and state government executives. After it became apparent that the Assembly lacked votes to pass the package, members agreed to send the plan back to the Joint Committee on Employment Relations, which had endorsed it Wednesday.

Gov. Lee Dreyfus said Thursday salary increases for legislators and judges are deserved but are "not timely." "Although I realize it is not a pile of money when you add it up, the point is that it represents a kind of statement by politicians to the people who have problems of their own," he said at his weekly news conference. He confirmed he has promised legislators not to veto increases but said he is reserving an option of letting them become law without his signature. He said he worries about a growing disparity between the income of judges and the lawyers who appear before them. Rep.

Tommy Thompson, the Republicans' assistant minority leader in the Assembly, tried to get the pay increase for state employees postponed also, arguing that the state budget is not ready to absorb the outlay. The Senate voted 30-2 in favor of contract settlements with the Wisconsin State Employees Union (WSEU), which bargains for about 24,000 public servants. There also was a contract with state engineers. Roll calls in the Assembly varied only slightly, with each contract attracting at least 83 percent of the vote. The bills now go to Dreyfus.

Between salary increases and changes in pay classifications, work-ers represented by the WSEU, Wisconsin's largest state employees union, would receive pay hikes of about 8.6 percent a year. The WSEU's agreement with the state expired July 1, and negotiators reached the new settlement last month. The pay package, which includes retroactive pay, carries a price tag of $107 .5 million for the biennium. It covers state clerical, blue collar and non-building trade, security and public safety, technical, research and social services workers represented by the WSEU's six bargaining units. Lawmakers also approved a $7.1 million contract with engineers.

Lee S. Dreyfus said Thursday.

"There is no way I can answer that until I know how deeply the recession is going to hit the total state economy," Dreyfus said when queried about the chances of a tax surcharge. "Will the paper industry, the ag' industry and the tourism industry offset enough of this recession in the industrial sector?" he said. Dreyfus said he will begin mapping his response to new revenue estimates as soon as they are completed at the end of January.
