John Ollll- gan's $9.9 billion budget bill in the Senate early today in a session that lasted into (he early hours. The vote was 19-14 with five Democrats voting ves and three Republicans refusing to support the measure. Gilligan assailed the bill and called legislative changes "an outrage" at a news conference Thursday. Gilligan came in for some indirect criticism in a floor speech by Senate Minority Leader Anthony 0.

Calabrese, D-22 Cleveland, who supported it. House members milled about the halls for about six hours as a three-hour Republican caucus and 2Va hours of floor debate finally brought the bill to a vote at about 12:40 a.m. Later, they received the bill and went through the formality of refusing to concur in Senate changes. The vote not to concur was 55-30. The House vote set the stage for a joint committee to try to work out a compromise before state spending authority expires June 30.

Leaders said they wanted the committee to have at least two weeks to work on the bill so they might avoid a major standoff like the one two years ago that forced the state to operate on interim budgets for six months. The conferees were named immediately. Senate Majority Leader Theodore M. Gray, R-3 Columbus, appointed Sens. Max H.

Dennis, R-10 Wilmington; Howard C. Cook, R-l Toledo, and Oliver Ocasek, D-27 Akron. House Speaker A. G. Lancione, D-99 Bellaire, named Reps.

Myrl Shoemaker, D-88 Bourneville, Vernal G. Riffe D-89 New Boston, and Fred Young, R-38 Dayton. Calabrese announced his support of the bill in a speech describing "mixed feelings" about it. He didn't mention Gilligan by name, but said "there was a lack of prior discussion between the administration and the Democratic leadership of the Senate. The minority party in the Senate was at a substantial disadvantage." EVERYTHING FOR YOUR LAWN In a move unprecedented in recent years, Calabrese freed the Democratic caucus and told his members to vote as they pleased on the measure.

He supported it, he said, despite refusal of Republicans to go along with amendments that would have restored about half of the reductions GOP senators made in Gilligan's budget requests. "Let your conscience be your guide," he said. Joining Calabrese in voting for the bill were Sens. Douglas Applegate, D-30 Steubenville, Ronald M. Mottl, D-24 Parma, Ocasek, and Robert T.

Secrest, D-20 Cambridge. All other Democrats opposed the measure as they had been urged to do by the governor's office. Among three Republicans who refused to support the measure was Sen. Richard G. Reichel, R-29 Massillon, who deplored what he called "all this nonsense about cuts" in the budget.

Reichel said that even after the Senate action, all of the state departments still would receive substantial increases. Reichel charged there has been "runaway government spending under the Gilligan administration." For the first time in the history of Ohio, welfare spending will exceed that for elementary and secondary education. Sen. Harry Meshel, D-33 Youngstown, said Ohioans have shown that they want the services that the state income tax makes possible. Pointing to last November when a proposal to repeal the tax was defeated at the polls, Meshel said, "They elected to be taxed and to have these services which we want to improve and expand upon." Gray won voice vote approval of a floor amendment that sets aside $350,000 in the next biennium for "professional staffing" of the House.

Corts, R-13 Elyria, won approval of an amendment that put back $1 million a Senate subcommittee took from the State Library Board. The money is intended to replace federal funds which Corts said may dry up in the next two years.

The only Democratic amendment approved on the floor was one that removed a proposed freeze on state employment in the next biennium at 55,000 employes. Secrest, arguing for the amendment, said the budget provides funds to employ 2,000 or more new employes and that "it doesn't make sense to give them the money and not let them spend it." He noted that state employment already exceeds 55,000. Other amendments offered by Democrats, voted down along party lines, would have restored more than $35 million to the state departments' appropriations, including giving back $10 million to the Environmental Protection Agency. The Senate reduced its appropriation from $31 million to $15 million. The EPA amendment could have passed because one of the 17 majority Paul R.

Matia, R-25 Westlake- bolted party ranks and joined 14 Democrats to support it. However, Secrest voted against it and Sen. Douglas Applegate, D-30 Steubenville, missed the roll call. Sen. Tony P.

Hall, D-6 Dayton, offered the amendment which would have added $10 million to boost the agency's appropriations to $25 million. He noted the EPA has been under attack from industries and other polluters who think its regulations are too tough. "It's young, it's honest, and its being criticized right now because it is doing its job," Hall said. Sen. Howard C.

Cook, R-l Toledo, who led the Senate fight to scale down the EPA on grounds it may drive industry from the state, defended the reduction. He noted its $15 million appropriation still gives it an increase of about 30 per cent. "We believe they should tool up with reasonable speed and with reasonable regulations," Cook told the Senate. The bill revises a freeze the House placed on student fees at state universities. The House bill froze them at their levels as of April 1.

The Senate voted to place the freeze on fees at their current allowable limit, $180 a quarter in most instances. Senators explained that their bill would allow those stitutions now below the limit to raise their fees to that limit. The bill makes these cuts from amounts proposed by the House: Higher education, $4.5 million; Ohio Arts Council, welfare, $24 million; mental health and mental retardation, $5.4 million; system of justice, $16.9 million, general government, $23.4 million, health, $1.7 million, environmental protection. $16 million, natural resources, $4 million, capital improvements, $3.7 million. the bill makes these additions: Higher education, $13.4 million; primary and secondary education, $43 million; other education, welfare (flat rate payments to nursing homes), $6.5 million-, judicial pay increases, $4.5 million; general state government, $10.1 million, community tuberculosis programs, hemophilia study, aid to local government, $2.6 million, and income tax relief, $74.6 ANNUAL FESTIVAL At The Bolivar Firestation Saturday June 16th Serving Beginning at 5 p.m.
