Robert Ray said today. The Senate last week passed the measure to require all candidates for office to disclose the amount of campaign contribu-tions they receive and the amount they spend on the campaign. That bill would also require reporting the names of people who contributed more than $25 to a local campaign, sliding to more than $100 on a statewide Urged Disclosure campaign such as for governor.

'It would also limit the amount of money that could be spent for television, radio, newspaper or billboard advertisements. "I would like to see them (the House) get it passed so everyone would operate under the same rule," Ray said. Some legislators have said that if it is not signed into law this legislative session, many contributors could make large contributions in the coming year and not have to report them. "As far as I'm concerned, the Supervisors To Seek U.S. Help on Road Problems Citing problems resulting from the operation of the Coralville Reservoir as a recreation facility, the Johnson County Board of Supervisors tentatively agreed today to seek federal help on several points.

These include reducing pool levels, reconstructing county roads and bridges and funding a water management study "for land restriction purposes." The requests were made in a report prepared by Supervisor Richard Bartel and Board Administrative Assistant John Amidon, following a review of early contracts and agreement made between the county and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The board voted to accept the report as a basis for a presentato be made 1 to Corps officials at a meeting set for June 27, pending a review by the county attorney and county engineer. The requests, made "in order to redistribute governmental exappropriate govern penses mental agencies," also include: -Reverting Old Highway 218 to the primary road system. -Converting roads on the east and west overlooks to the primary road system or the Corps.

-Compensating private landowners "harmed" by road closings resulting from reservoir construction. -Reporting on pool levels and flow rates to the supervisors on a monthly basis. Corps "operating policies." "Since the reservoir provides flood control and recreation on a nationwide basis, local gov ernment should not be required to subsidize the federal government," the report states. The report notes that the "primary justification" of the reservoir has been flood con(trol, with recreation considered a "secondary benefit." "None of the pre-contract documents maintained in the county auditor's office indicate recreation primary purpose of the reservoir, nor did any of the original contract agree-, ments recognize or consider the effects of recreation in the future operation of the reservoir. on Johnson County govern ment," it states.

The report also states that recreational use of the area has "created traffic loads on an already severely overburdened secondary road system." Although 01d Highway 218 was transferred from the state primary road system to the county after construction of the present Highway 218, recrea tional traffic on the old route now reaches nearly 6.000 vehicles per day on weekends, it notes.

But he said that if the House did not take up the bill in the remaining days of the current session, they could pass it early next year and "could put a retroactive time on it."

a "traffic division supervisor" in the county clerk's office. Dad's G2 Champ! The U.S. director, said the governor has failed to make appointments re-" quired by law to the Civil Defense Advisory Council which is supposed to help coordinate disaster planning and emergency action. Bjornson said the law requires the governor to appoint, three members of the ninemember advisory council year, but Ray made no appointments to the council in either 1971 or 1972. Bjornson was one of several local civil defense officials who testified at a public hearing before a House subcommittee on a bill which proposes to abolish the present civil defense setup and turn duties of the Iowa Civin Defense agency over to the National Guard.

All members of the group said there is a good working relationship between the state office and local civil defense organizations. They agreed that improvements could be made in state law but said the help of many civilian resources, might be lost if the civil defense effort were placed in the hands of the mliitary. "The state is at best ineffective for all areas of the state." said Mark Barnes, the Clinton County Civil Defense director. "Only isolated pockets of the population now have adequate civil defense protection." But he said the bill now proposed in the legislature would be no better and might weaken what now exists. He said the proposed new leglislation would require, each county to hire a civil defense director, but would not require county and city officials to cooperate with him in disaster planning.

action" provi-, sions must be a part of any bill it is to be effective, Barnes said. He said there must be much- more input by local agencies and better staffing at the state level if civil defense is to be improved. He recommended delaying any legislation for a year while the whole problem is studied. Stewart Shank, retired Cedar Rapids city finance director, who said he has been active in civil defense, said he has "no axe to grind with the military because they give you a good hand in an But he said "civilians who really do the work after a disaster," citing such groups as the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, ham radio operators and other groups. He said their efforts might be lost if the whole setup was turned over to the military.

The bill proposes to wipe out the single county civil defense organizations now existing in favor of regional setups in most of the state. Bjornson said the Iowa Civil Defense Directors Association has no objection to such an approach but would like a chance to work with the drafters of any bill to assure "sensible planning" for more effective multi-county units. He said the larger counties definitely need their own professional civil defense directors.
