Bill (Cont'd from Pagel) Assembly as "an amoebic, spineless body" on the subject of tax "reform." A bill sponsored by Senate Majority Whip John Stauffer, R-Chester, to wipe out property taxes by hiking the state's personal income tax rate from 2.2 to 3.2 percent and permitting local income tax rates of up to 2.5 percent is under consideration in the Senate.

Wilson said his bills require school districts, counties and municipalities to use any additional revenues derived from personal income taxes to lower property taxes. Al Unger, executive director of the Pennsylvania School Boards Association, said his group opposed the legislation because it limited school districts' options in raising revenues. 'It's really not getting at the problem," said Unger. "It's just shifting the burden from some taxes to others, in this case to a personal income tax. It's attacking the problem in the wrong way." Unger suggested a more long-range sqlution would be to allow school districts to get out from under state mandated programs by permitting them to.

keep programs they want and can afford while eliminating others. The committee; also unanimously approved a measure doubling the interest penalty from 6 to 12 percent on late corporate net income tax payments made by state businesses. Tht HunHnatot (UIP1 Ptnn Itrttt. HwMlnjtion, H. IMS.

A defense psychiatrist In whom Hinckley confided about the pills notified medical officials at Butner, and Hinckley was given an antidote. Later he was returned to his prison area. "Apparently he tried to harm himself," said Justice Department spokesman Tom DeCair. But he declined to characterize the episode as a suicide attempt and said, "It is not a life-threatening situation." Hinckley apparently had saved up the' Tylenol he had been receiving for headaches, DeCair said, The number of pills Tie swallowed was not disclosed.

(UPI) The nuclear carrier USS Nimitz steamed to its home port today while Navy swabbies cleared the twisted wreckage of fighter jets from the flight deck where 14 crewmen died and 48 were injured in the fiery crash of a Prowler counter-spy plane. A team of Navy Safety Center investigators will determine why the Marine EA-6B jet missed its landing on the mammoth carrier late Tuesday, hurtled into 19 parked jets and set fires that caused an estimated $100 million in damages to of the Navy's most sophisticated warplanes. Lt. Cmdr. Bill McLoughlin of the Atlantic Fleet headquarters said the senior official aboard the Nimitz probably had already reviewed videotapes of the Prowler's landing during a nighttime "electronic warfare exercise." All landings aboard the carrier are recorded, he said.

The Nimitz, which was headed for the Caribbean before Tuesday's accident off the coast of Florida, was expected to return to Norfolk Naval Base this afternoon for two to five days of repairs. Damage to the carrier, one of the world's two largest warships, and its steel flight deck was described as "minimal." Until the Navy began releasing names of the dead and injured today, families of the 6,000 Navy and Marine personnel on the ship jammed a special telephone line, routed through Washington, to the ship. Twenty-one of the most seriously injured crewmen were taken to hospitals in Jacksonville, for treatment of burns and broken limbs, and late Wednesday four seriously burned crewmen were airlifted to Brooks Army Hospital outside San Antonio, Texas. The other 27 injured crew members stayed on board for treatment in the ship's hospital, but Navy officials said some might be transported today by helicopter to a hospital in Portsmouth as the ship neared its home port, Three crewmen were aboard the Prowler when it landed but it was not known if any survived, Navy Cmdr. Jim Lois said.

Atlantic Fleet Capt, Larry Hamilton said the Prowler a sophisticated Marine jet nicknamed for its ability to jam enemy signals apparently missed the runway's well-lit center line during a landing exercise and skidded out of control on the (tight deck, veering into planes parked on the edge of the runway. Capt. Sam Flynn, an Atlantic Fleet expert on carrier landings; said any number of problems coulfl have sparked the accident, GENE'S GARAGE ttb St. (lormtr losotlon of Qtli'i Tlrt GENE SHADE own.r tatp 1GM factory Trolntd 7 Yten porltnct with OM eon, truckt I Jttpi Gvorqntttd ntpoiri on all QM I Jttp repglri on GM automatic trantnilfiloni WtNtint to ell Kty Bulck Cadillac cuitomtn Opening June 1ft 643-2734 to $11,50, as well as improved health and accident benefits', 1 Savilsky said the ratification vote would be scheduled for Saturday or Sunday. including mechanical failure, inability to determine horizon, control problems or wind, across the deck "but that's unlikely because the carrier can turn with the wind." Naval officials said reports of pilot error were "premature." The crash was the worst accident ever suffered by a nuclear-powered carrier and the worst on any aircraft carrier since 1963.

Four aircraft were destroyed, five planes suffered "major damage" and 11 others had lesser damage. None of the aircraft involved was armed with nuclear weapons, Navy officials said, but they declined to disclose if any nuclear warheads were aboard the Nimitz. Thirteen other aircraft in the air when the crash occurred were unable to land and diverted to Charleston, After the crash, the Nimitz crew was mustered to "general quarters," sending all crewmen to. battle stations to control damage, help the injured and extinguish the fires, Navy firefighters battled the blazes, apparently spawned by spilled fuel, for 70 minutes before extinguishing them with a chemical foam. Nimitz crew members worked today to clear from the deck burned pieces of the Prowler, which was meshed with two mangled F-14 Tomcat fighters.

The Nimitz's most recent role in U.S. defense was its 144-day patrol off the coast of Iran during hostage crisis the longest deployment of an. American vessel since World War II. It was from the Nimitz that eight helicopters launched the unsuccessful and tragic mission to rescue the American hostages.

Reagan said last October's 11.7 percent raise In military pay was "a step in the right direction." He noted he is seeking further pay hikes 5.3 percent on July and 9.1 percent in October 1982. "1 don't suppose we could put an exact price on the sacrifice we ask of those who guarantee our safety, but one thing is certain, they deserve better than a bare subsistence said. Reagan, blaming the fall-off in enlistments and re- enlistments during the 1970s on "a widespread lack of respect for the uniform born perhaps of what has been called the Vietnam syndrome," he said this was only a "temporary aberration." EXCALIBtJR USB? Heinz (Cont'd from Pagel) J'The board would only release the $300 million if its members were convinced that Conrail is making adequate progress in reducing its costs and making itself profitable," Heinz said Conrail has estimated that liquidating its property within two years as proposed by Lewis would mean a total loss of rail service to shippers who now account for 42 percent of Conrail's traffic.

"This is just unacceptable," he said. "If labor and management make the necessary sacrifices, Conrail must be preserved." However, the administration's continued insistence oh dismantling Conrail makes it impossible for labor. and, management reach any ''Thelonger this uncertainty persists, the longer Conrail will continue its deficit-ridden, 'business-as-usual' approach," Heinz said. "This will only cost taxpayers more in the end."

Today, visitors must sign up and get a bus shuttle at Gettysburg's National Park Service Information Center, which also handles the famous Battle of Gettysburg site which adjoins the 1770 Eisenhower farm.

In its first year as a historic site, 200,000 people visted the Eisenhower Farm. It's an especially interesting site, since the Eisenhower's were very private about their farm and it was not often in the public eye. Laurie Coughlan, chief spokesman for the historic site, said the tour handles the maximum 1,100 people almost every day, and warned would-be visitors to sign up early in the day. "About 80 percent of the visitors seem to be senior citizens," she said. "The parents and the grandparents, they remember Ike- as a president or the conquering hero of World War II.

"Quite a few," she added with a grin, "are willing to volunteer that they served under Ike in the war."
