PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEWS, Huntingdon and Mount Union, November 14, 1973 HARRISBURG (UPI) One of the more serious and ironic consequences of the energy crisis this winter may be a significant increase in air pollution.

Snyder and Gaulding said the variances would be in effect only as long as there is a shortage in low sulfur oil, The greatest problem, they said, could be in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, where power plants have converted to oil to meet the air quality regulations.

They said, however, that every attempt would be made to give Pittsburgh and Philadelphia priority on available low sulfur oil.

(Bud) Nearhoof, Tyrone 3, died Monday at 10:30 p.m. in the Tyrone Hospital following a brief illness. He was born Dec. 29, 1904 at Altoona, the son of Elmer L. and Carrie M.

(Goodman) Nearhoof. He was married March 10, 1926 at Tyrone, to Gertie Leister, and had been a lifelong resident of the Tyrone area. He is survived by his wife, ity of life suffer to maintain the treasured "high standard of living." President Nixon proposed programs Wednesday that would increase the use of coal in the country and allow the government to suspend air pollution control regulations. Nixon said he wants the authority to halt conversion from coal to oil immediately and that he needs the power to order energy users to convert from oil to coal where possible. Daniel J.

Snyder, regional ad- minstrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection agency in Philadelphia and Clark Gaulding director of Pennsylvania's air pollution bureau, said state and federal authorities are preparing a process variance application. burned there and have a small, er effect on overall air quality. Charles Simpson, director of Gov. Milton Shapp's Energy Task Force, said "We will have to sacrifice air quality hopefully not to an intolerable degree so that we have enough power." Simpson said a widespread increase in the use of coal, how.

ever, could lead to a severe coal shortage. "We have enough coal reserves to last us a couple of centuries, but not enough of it is being mined presently to meet increased demand," Simpson said. "Safety laws, a shortage of trained workers, environmental regulations and a possible short, age of railroad cars to carry the coal have combined to limit production." Another consideration is that it usually takes three years fore the first load of coal can be carried out of a new coal mine, Stanley G. Schaffer, presi dent of the Pennsylvania Electric Association, said none of the state's utilities have announced plans to request variances. "However," he said, "requests for such variances may be the only workable alternative If supplies are unable to meet the utilities' fuel requirements." EPA said in a publication titled "Health Effects of Environmental Pollution" that there is much to learn about the long term effect of low levels of air pollution.

But it is known, EPA said, that heavy pollution aggravates the symptoms of chronic lung diseases such a chronic bronchitis and emphasema and the frequency and severity of asthma. Children raised In areas of heavy air pollution stand a greater chance of developing chronic lung diseases as adults, EPA said. "Statistics also show that residents of communities with persistently high levels of pollution have higher death rates than residents of other communities," the publication said. There may be some benefits from the energy shortage and the potential environmental deterioration, though. As Gaulding put it: "People may realize as a result of this that we must stop our insatiable appetite for energy and become more conservation minded." two daughters, Mrs.

The state Justice Department lawsuit filed Tuesday in Commonwealth Court is designed to force the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) to open the various sports to girls.

Dilworth, Wife Listed As Satisfactory PHILADELPHIA (UPI) Former mayor, school board president and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Richardson Dilworth, and his wife, Anne, remained In Satisfactory condition today at Pennsylvania Hospital.

Dtlworth won the coveted Philadelphia Award in 1968 for "his steadfast devotion to the best interest of the complete Philadelphia community," track.

PIAA said it would fight the suit and the head of the state's athletic directors' association said he opposes it. In a six-page complaint filed by state Attorney General Is. neys General Lawrence Silver and Kathleen Herzog Larkin, the Commonwealth asked the court to: prevent PIAA sponsorship of any system of sports other than football and "which denies equality of opportunity to any athlete, male or female." strike down Article 19, Section 3D of the PIAA bylaws which reads; "girls shall not practice or compete against ties and courses of And Pittenger added: "I here, by commit the Department of ation of sexism in education a priority." The task force headed by Joseph F. Bard recommended that public schools "offer opportunities for integrated boys and girls teams in selected sports." The Commonwealth's suit carefully spelled out the powerful role the PIAA, headed by Executive Director Theodore R. (Ted) Wagner, plays in Pennsylvania's school sports.

Sunshine Bill Subject To Delicate Manuevers (EDITOR'S NOTE: The lowing represents the opinion of observers of political and governmental events at the state Capitol,) Capitol Opinion By JOHN BARRETTE HARR1SBURG (UPI) Leg.

1 slatlon to open government meetings at the state and local levels In Pennsylvania Is In limbo but delicate maneuvers toward passage dire Imminent Rep. James Knepper, R.Alleg. heny, the bill's prime sponsor, said he plans to make a tlve peace offering to the chairman of the House committee which has the measure. And Rep. Guy Klstler, R-Cumberland, the chairman of that State Government Committee, said the legislation would be turned to the floor if cert a 1 amendments are Inserted.

The two have feuded about the form the bill should take. In general, the bill would force state and local government bodies and agencies to hold open meetings or members would be subject to a fine and court costs. Current state law does not en. compass all state and local government bodies and calls for a token penalty a fine of $10 to $25. The bill would boost that fine to $100.

The penalty isKistler's; Knepper originally proposed a $500 fine and six months in jail. Knepper since has abandoned his quest for the stiff penalty provision in hopes of getting the measure passed, but refused to compromise on language con- earning executive sessions. Kistler and Rep. Stanley Kes. ter, Delaware, want to allow executive sessions In midst of any government meeting should an emergency arise.

They also want a provision for emergency meetings. Knepper, who saw the bill returned to Kistler's committee af. ter he balked at such an ment, now admits he may have to compromise. "I may have to temper it a bit," he said. "1 have come to accept the fact that we will have to ease the executive session situation," he said, "but It would have to have strict limitations." He said he will offer a revised bill for committee consideration soon and is willing to work with the members "to arrive at mutually acceptable ments." But he warned he will not accept any compromise he thinks would make the bill weak and Ineffective.

He cited national political scandals as evidence such a bill is needed to protect the public. Klstler said the bill will not be returned to the House floor unless the amendments he antf Kester wants are added because "this is a no good, bill In present form." But he said he wants the bill on the floor and doesn't oppose it If It is written with language that protects government bod- les so they can hold executive sessions In private when neces. sary. "I can assure you, however, that It will be burled deeper than the bottom of the Ocean if the amendments aren't added," he said. "We will have assurances from the committee that they (the amendments) will be acceptable to them or it will never get on the agenda again." Kistler and Knepper are miles apart in philosophy on the que's- tion of open meetings.

But they should find common ground get the bill out of committee and through the House. Whether Knepper is right or wrong about the wording of the bill, there is one thing about which he is right: The public needs the protection provided in this legislation to make sure their governmental officials are acting responsibly and to be informed on significant issues. Elderly Folks Target For Special Type Con Man James Madison was the first president to wear trousers instead of knee breeches. HARRISBURG (UPI) A special type of con man robs elderly Pennsylvanians two or three times a month. State Police reports are the facts tell sad stories.

SUMMARY: Oct. 23, 1973. A 70-year-old Adams County man gets a telephone call from a person who says he is a bank official. The official says a crooked teller has been stealing money from the old man's savings account. He asks the man's help to catch the teller.

The old man agrees to help, and the official praises him for his concern and public interest. TTie official says more people like the old man are needed to stop criminals. The old man is told to withdraw $6,000 from his account and give it to a State Police officer who will meet him at home later In the day. The bank officer tells the old man the money will be marked with special Ink, then placed back into the account and used to catch the teller. So the elderly man takes the money from the bank, and gives it to a clean-cut "State Policeman" who flashes an impressive badge when they meet later in the day.

"You will be rewarded for the help you are giving us," the policeman tells the old man. "you will hear from the bank in a few days." The days turn into sometimes the elderly man never hears from the "bank official." That is because the "official" and the "State Policeman" are con the old man is their victim. "You get kind of callous to most crimes after you have been an investigator for a while," says Maj. John Yaglen- ski of the State Police. "But whenever you investigate one of these, all you can say is "I want to get that son of a Yaglenski and the detectives in the criminal investigation section have little luck capturing the bunko artists.

"Sometimes elderly people don't report the incidents to us because they are embarassed, lor too proud to admit that they 'have been cheated" he said. The same team that bilked the Adams County man took $2,400 from a Clearfield man Oct. 31, according to State Police reports. Yaglenski said another team stole $5,000 from a Harrisburg minister who was asked to help catch a crooked bank teller. "These people prey on the elderly because they trust the banks and the police," Yaglenski said.

"They are smooth and cunning operators." According to Yaglenski State Police are contacting banks across the state to warn them jof local fraud teams. He said the department also has a "public education" effort that reaches senior citizens groups and associations, outlining the business of the bunko artist. Yaglenski said anyone receiving calls from people identifying themselves as "bank officials" involved in investigation should contact the State Police.
