O'Brien of South Burlington, the state's Democratic National Committeeman, was named to the Vermont Liquor Control Board by Gov. Salmon on Tuesday. Norman James, Salmon's spokesman, said the appointment is effective immediately, and was announced after Salmon had met with O'Brien, a fellow Democrat.

Earlier, former Rutland County Probate Judge Henry Battles, also a Democrat, withdrew his candidacy for the job. Battles said growing personal and professional responsibilities in his law practice led him to withdraw from consideration. During the weekend, several prominent Chittenden County Democrats said Salmon had decided to appoint Battles contrary to the advice of members of his administration. plumbers. According to Chrisman.

the committee will review the licensing procedures and set standards for procedures and the amount of work done by the boards. He said the disparity of licensing fees doctors pay $2.50 for their licenses while plumbers pay $15 as well as the frequency of board meetings will be included in the investigation. Committee members said the failure of some boards to meet for several months might be leading to fewer licensed professionals in the state. This, they said, possibly could increase costs in fields since MONTPELIER A committee started a study Tuesday to see if any of the 148 boards and commissions in Vermont state government can be eliminated. The study was initiated by the Committee on Administrative Coordination, made up of members of the executive and legislative branches who met Tuesday with Budget and Management Director Ronald Chrisman.

Chrisman said the study could take as long as two years. At the top of the committee's list are about 24 examining and licensing boards which issue professional certification to everyone from doctors to The committee also will study a request from Gov. Salmon to see if his membership on some 12 state committees also could be reduced. Chrisman said Salmon, who sits as a semiofficial member on a range of committees and boards, has called those positions "time consuming" and has questioned whether the governor should be a part of legislative type decisions.

By DANIEL BEEGAN MONTPELIER (AP) The vocabulary is changing in Vermont's annual battle whether to enact a state land use plan. Democratic Gov. Salmon has concluded that land use is an inflamtory phrase, raising ire in the hearts of men. Salmon said recently he may ban the words from his administration, substituting "growth policy" for them. The change appeared to be more than cosmetic, for Salmon has given growth policy a broader definition that his administration and the one preceding it gave to land use planning.

A growth policy, says Salmon, would include legislation and administrative regulations about such things as electrical rates and energy conservation, financial incentives to industry and state aid to education. He says a land use plan could be part of the package. Salmon, rebuffed twice by the General Assembly in attempts to get a plan passed, says he still supports its enactment. But, his planning office is not preparing a new draft for submission to the legislature in January. The last attempt at a land use planning law is resting in the Vermont House Ways and Means Committee, where Chairman Peter Giuliani, R-Montpelier, says it will need a complete rewrite.

The land use planning concept was developed for Vermont during the administration of Republican former Gov. Deane C. Davis. It was designed to spell out through laws and maps where development should be restricted, preserving fragile natural areas and prime agricultural land. The concept won opposition from groups such as the Northeast Kingdom Landowners' Steering Committee, which felt a land use plan would amount to illegal confiscation of their property rights without compensation.

Proponents have said a land use plan is a legitimate exercise of the state's police power, and compensation was not required. When the plan was first proposed, Vermont was in a developmental boom, with vacation homes sprouting up especially in southern Vermont where tney were easily accessible from metropolitan New York and Boston. The vacation home industry has cooled considerably as the national economy coupled inflation with recession and dried up many of the sources of capital for developers. Some of the initial pressure is off, but proponents of the plan say they are concerned unplanned development will begin anew if the economy revives. ai(0)W Group Seeks CPB Funds To Establish Noncommercial FM Station in Area fife fa wAooo wAwA Wig local sources.

The data also will provide information for making final decisions regarding programming, facilities and staffing, Smyle added. Estimates are that the station would require an operating budget of approximately $175,000 a year. Smyle said program offerings under consideration include: a variety of classical, jazz, big band and other musical art forms; in-depth news and analysis, perhaps including portions of newscasts from other countries received here via short-wave and re-broadcast by CVERA; farming and gardening news; weather; and on-the-spot or taped reports of local news and cultural events of significant interest. Affiliation would be sought with National Public Radio for live coverage of significant national news and cultural events. Area schools could be served by broadcasting curriculum materials on a separate channel which would not interfere with simultaneous broadcasts directed to the general public, Smyle declared.

This special service also could be available for continuing education courses, he said, providing "Talking Book" services for the blind or partially-sighted and other uses determined by listener needs and desires. Smyle said the association welcomes the reactions and suggestions of interested persons concerning programming and ongoing funding for the proposed project. The names of other persons associated with the proposal' will be announced at a later date, he added. A group of nine broadcasters, educators and area residents is seeking a $25,000 planning grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to establish a noncommercial stereo FM radio station in the Burlington area. The application for a Phase I planning grant was filed by the Champlain Valley Educational Radio Association (CVERA) which hopes to widen the variety of entertainment, information and public affairs programming in the area and to expand the service throughout the state within five years.

The CPB administers and distributes funds derived from both the federal government and private sources to further public broadcasting. Bernhardt Smyle, of 13 Scottsdale South Burlington, project director, said CVERA and CPB representatives have met to discuss the proposal. A decision by the CPB is expected by early September. If the CPB approves the grant, public meetings will be held in communities which would receive the broadcast signal. Smyle said most of the planning funds would be used to make detailed audience studies, to conduct necessary technical surveys and tc keep the public informed.

At the conclusion of Phase the necessary data will be available to apply for a construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission and grant funds from both the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare and from regional and U.S. 7 Compromise Bill Expected t'Jt Ml -rTliViif 1 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge James L.
