Train HOUGHTON (AP) Unanimous opposition to discontinuing the Copper Country limited was voiced by some 30 witnesses at an Interstate Commerce Commission hearing Friday.

The passenger' train, which runs between Milwaukee and Calumet, is run jointly by the Milwaukee Road and Soo Line. Both railroads want to discontinue the train. The ICC has been holding hearings on the question all week. Meanwhile the train is to continue running through March 8. A representative of the Milwaukee Road told the hearing Friday that some $300,000 has been lost in one year through operation of the train.

Witnesses testified that auto, bus and air transportation were no substitute for the service provided by the train. They also argued that the train is needed for the development of Michigan Tech, Suomi College, the economy of the western Upper Peninsula and for the promotion of tourism.

State House Extends Probe Of Detroit Poverty Program By JERRY MOSKAL State Journal Capitol Bureau An investigation into Detroit's poverty program was extended Friday one the House amidst allegations of misuse of funds. "There is some hanky-panky in connection with this program and I don't care if you call it a Democratic or Republican said Rep. James Del Rio, D-Detroit. The chairman of the special investigating committee probing the poverty operations was accused of stooging for Republicans to embarrass the national Democratic war on poverty. RESOLUTION OK'D 85-9 The resolution to extend Del Rio's committee life for another year passed by an 85-9 vote after a sometimes fiery two-hour floor debate.

"When you find that only 24 cents on a dollar have been spent on the poor, yes, that's a fraud and a crime," Del Rio charged. The 1967 regular session of the House first approved the special committee investigation that has seen Del Rio clash with officials from Detroit's Total Action Against Poverty Program. Del Rio said $11 million of a $14.5 million federal grant to the program went out in salaries, wages, fringe benefits and overhead. 'SMELL OF POLITICS' "To me (the investigation) has the smell of politics," said Rep. David S.

Holmes D-Detroit, a member of the committee. "It seems to me the Republican party of this state is trying to find something to malign the Democratic Holmes claimed it is highly. unusual for the House Republican majority to place a Democrat in charge of a committee of such importance. "If he (Del Rio) has something, produce it and let the House know," Holmes said. "Wel a are entitled to it.

Jack Faxon, D-Detroit, to trim the committee's appropriation for next year from $5,000 to $500 was de- feated, 91-2. WANT EXPERTS' PROBE Faxon said that instead of the House conducting the investigation it should be handled by exnow available in state government, such as the attorney general or auditor general. "We're not detectives," Rep.

Vincent J. Petitpren, D- Wayne. "We're not accountants. We're not personnel experts. We should turn this over.

to the attorney general. We should call in the experts." Rep. Josephine D. Hunsinger, D- Detroit, questioned how the TAP program was spending its funds. "We have quite a few people come up here and twist legislators arms on open housing," she said.
