Last year about 300 poeple showed up at an April "1g Protest the fee schedule then being considered by the board. That schedule did not exempt persons on schedule with pollution abatement, and the main protesters weie officials of Vermont's small towns who felt the law wouid bankrupt them. Due to the protest, the 1971 legislature put off implementation of the fees for a year, and the 1972 legislation moved to exempt those on schedule from having to pay them. Environmental Conservation Secretary Robert Williams and Water Resources Commissioner Martin Johnson recommended the waters near a treatment plant be put in the "Class category the lowest water quality classification The two state officials made the recommendation because Class is a category included in Vermont law, and mixing zone is not.

Johnson told the board at its Wednesday hearing that the use of existing classifications would be less confusing and would certainly be legal. The Wednesday hearing, where eight people to pay pollution charges based on the "per person equivalent" of waste they are discharging into the waters of the state. The per person equivalent, as defined in the new rules, is the estimated amount of waste one person discharges into state water in a year. One per person equivalent would come to slightly over $4, Will Irwin, the board's executive officer, explained. The major change in the rules from those discussed at a public hearing earlier this'week was the elimination of the mixing zone classification for water near a sewage treatment plant.

The amendment in 1972 removed the major opposition to the law. The law, as originally passed in 1970, would have required persons to "pay-to-pollute." At the time, the pay-to-pollute concept was considered an incentive to towns and industries to clean up the waters. The Agency of Environmental Conservation reported last month about 67 per cent of polluters have already ceased. Secretary Williams has said he hopes the waters of the state will be cleaned up without anyone having to pay pollution fees. By DANIEL BEEGAN Free Press Capitol Bureau MONTPELIER The state Water Resources Board Friday formally adopted its pollution fee regulations.

The rules have been filed with the secretary of state and will take effect in 20 days. The new regulations, as required by 1972 legislation, exempt from the fees any municipality, person, or industry on a pollution abatement i schedule worked out with the Department of Water Resources.

Of the 59 challenged Illinois delegates, 12 are black. 8 are young people and 6 are women.

Chicago attorney Wayne W. Whalen, who presented the challengers' case said the manner in which the Daley delegation was put together flagrantly violated the guidelines. "The Chicago credentials challenge is the test for the Democratic Party in 1972," Whalen told the committee. "The integrity of the guidelines and of the Democratic Party itself, the most hopeful movement in American politics, is clearly at stake here today." Jerome Torshen, representing the Daley delegation, said it was chosen in a free, open election in accordance with Illinois laws. "Don't void the election process," said Torshen.

"Don't try to open the party by closing off the right to vote." while most of those committed to other candidates supported Daley. The Daley forces vowed to take their fight to retain their seats to the full convention and also to go into federal court in an effort to overturn the Credentials Committee decision. They won a U.S. District Court ruling two weeks ago that the Democratic party's guidelines for selecting convention delegates violated Illinois election laws. A federal appellate court declined to hear the case until the committee had acted.

Daley attorneys said they would petition for a hearing in the Circuit Court of Appeals. The challenge to the Daley delegation was based on the party's new delegate-selection rules, which require states to provide adequate representation for women, youths and minority interests on their delegations. The vote was 71 to 61 defeating the Daley Unlike the frenzied floor action that marked the California contest, there was little huddling of delegates and no sign of key political operatives from the presidential candidates during debate on the Chicago challenge. Any hopes of a compromise on the Illinois dispute vanished when McGovern lost his California delegates Thursday. With the 10 California delegates who had been ineligible to vote in their own contest back on the voting roster and the anti-McGovern Illinois delegates unable to vote, the McGovern forces were in charge from the beginning and were in no mood to bargain.

In an earlier contest, McGovern picked up eight convention votes when the Credentials Committee upheld another challenge brought against the regularly elected delegates of four downstate Illinois districts. WASHINGTON (AP) The DemocraUc convention Credentials Committee voted Friday to unseat Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and 58 other uncommitted Illinois delegates to the national convention. The committee's action was a victory for Sen. George McGovern who is expected to get at least 41 of the 59 delegates if the ruling is upheld by the convention in Miami Beach July 10.

But like the credentials committee vote Thursday stripping McGovern of more than half the 271 California delegates, the Illinois seating fight further widened the split in the convention between the McGovern forces and those opposing him. McGovern delegates on the credentials committee voted solidly with the challengers i'f I Congress OKs 20 Per Cent Increase in Social Security Longest Minute It would amount to an $8.5 billion annual boost, by far the largest in the 37-year history of the system, and would bring the yearly payout close to $50 billion. Under the Church amendment, the average payment for an individual, now $129 a month, would be raised to $158. For a couple, the average would go from $223 to $271. The present $70.40 minimum would be increased to $84.50.

The maximum which could be received by an individual retiring this year would go to it now is $216.10. The amendment also would put into the system for the first time automatic increases to meet inflation. Every time the price index advances 3 per cent or more, benefits would be adjusted accordingly. The first such change would come in 1975. employed in 1973 and again in 1974 to pay for the increase.

The Social Security boost, sponsored by Sen. Frank Church, was added to a bill extending for four months the present $450-billion national debt ceiling. The full bill passed 78 to 3. The ceiling was to drop to $400 billion at midnight Friday, unless the extension was signed into law by then. Since the debt is about $427 billion, this could cause the government some embarrassment.

During the debate, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Russell Long, declared: "The government is now only 9Vz hours from bankruptcy." The 20 per cent Social Security increase would be paid to the 27.8 million recipients of retirement, family survivor and disability benefits. WASHINGTON (AP)-The government's fiscal year, ending at midnight Friday, was to be extended by a single second as the whole world observed history's first "Leap-Second Day" by adding an extra second to all clocks. The change in the world's master clocks was to occur at 8 p.m. EDT midnight Greenwich Mean Time. The idea was to correct a discrepancy in conventional timekeeping due to tiny changes in the earth's rotation.

They were discovered in 1958 with the development of non-conventional atomic clocks so accurate it would take 50,000 years for one of them to gain or lose a second. Thus, with the possible exception of China, the world was to mark June 30 as a day having 86,401 seconds in it, compared with the monotonous 86,400 seconds of every other day. Put another way, the day would mark the world's first 61-second minute. WASHINGTON (AP) The House joined the Senate Friday in approving a 20 per cent Social Security increase and pushed toward a final vote to send the bill containing it to President Nixon. The House acted despite warnings from two Republican spokesman Rep.

John W. Byrnes of Wisconsin and Under Secretary John G. Bene-man of the Health, Education and Welfare considering vetoing an increase of that magnitude. The 824 Senate vote for the Social Security boost came despite a warning from President Nixon it would strain the economy or raise the tax load on business and workers. The 20 per cent increase, if it becomes law, will be effective Sept.

(UPI Telephoto) Chess Match Is Negotiated North Vietnam Build Pipeline Border From Hanoi to Chin Vs7 laborers have gone to North Vietnam to help work on the pipeline or repair bombed-out railroads and bridges. During the 1965-1968 phase of the air war, an estimated 50,000 Chinese railroad troops worked on this type of repair inside North Vietnam. Friedheim described the laying of the new pipeline toward the Chinese border as a "methodical military operation." The pipeline roughly parallels a rail line extending northeastward from the North Vietnamese capital toward Ping-hsiang in southern China. According to Friedheim, there is no sign that the Chinese are building a pipeline of their own from south Chinese ports toward their border with North Vietnam to meet the section moving up from Hanoi. WASHINGTON (AP) North Vietnam's military engineers have "very nearly completed" a new oil pipeline from Hanoi to the Communist Chinese border in an effort to sidestep the U.S.

mining of its ports, the Pentagon reported Friday. Once in operation, this pipeline could enable North Vietnam to replenish its stocks of motor fuel, needed to run supply trucks and tanks supporting Hanoi's troops fighting in South Vietnam, a Pentagon spokesman said. The flow of petroleum products into North Vietnam has been cut off since North Vietnam's ports were sealed by U.S. minefields May 8, it is believed. Pentagon spokesman Jerry W.

Friedheim indicated the new pipeline extending northeastward from Hanoi has not yet been struck by U.S. bombers. Air raids have cut other sections of North Vietnam's pipeline system extending southward from Hanoi and the port city of Haiphong toward the battlefields in South Vietnam and Laos. U.S. warplanes constantly range along that southbound pipeline and strike it again whenever the North Vietnamese repair it, forcing the North Vietnamese to move petroleum and gasoline in steel drums carried by trucks which also are attacked along the roads, Friedheim said.

Defense officials have estimated that North Vietnam has enough petroleum products in its stockpile to last several months. Friedheim said there is no evidence that any Chinese engineer troops or up the flight for more than two hours. What Davis and officials of the Icelandic Chess Federation had to sort out was a fresh demand by Fischer for 30 per cent of the gate receipts collected during the match. Without the extra money, he threatened to boycott the match scheduled to begin Sunday. It was learned that Gutmun-der Thorarisson, the federation president, spent most of the night in sometimes heated telephone conversation with Fischer's representatives.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Organizers of the world chess championship said Friday the "whole match" depends on eleventh hour negotiations between them and Bobby Fischer's lawyer on a new demand for more money by the American challenger. Andrew Davis, Fischer's lawyer, arrived on a flight from New York. The plane was to have carried the 29-year-old chess star to the site of his 24-game match with champion Boris Spassky of Russia. Fischer had booked a ticket and checked his bags on the plane, but then he hesitated.
