Supervisors To Keep Tab On Recipients Of Welfare Two of the 13 resolutions aimed at combatting public welfare problems in County were adopted by the County Board Wednesday afternoon. By action of the board: Supervisors are now officially urged to review the fare rolls on a monthly basis, find out who in their district is on welfare, and work toward making those persons become "productive independent citizens." The law enforcement committee has been designated as the liaison committee between the district attorney and the board. The two measures were passed on a voice vote after having, been favorably, reported committees. out The resolution urging board members to review the welfare rolls was amended before passage to say that review was "subject to limitations of state statutes." Communication with D.A. County Corporation Counsel Alex Hopp explained that supervisors will be able to get a list of who receives welfare checks and how much they're getting.

But individual caseworker's reports may not be examined just by going to the Social Services Department and paging through the records, he pointed out. Arthur C. Sebald, Town of Lima, welfare board chairman, said that if a supervisor wants to find out more about a particular case, he can do so on an individual basis by talking to Social Services Director Anthony Baron. The second resolution is not so much of a welfare reform as it is a measure to provide District Attorney Lance B. Jones with a means of communication with the County Board.

Other welfare reform measures are expected to be reported out of committee and acted on by the board within the next three days of the five-day session. The board will meet again on Monday and Wednesday of next week, and the following Tuesday, Nov. 10. Davies Elected HEBOYGAN PRESS, Thursday, Oct. 29, 1970 ager for the Social Security ministration, was elected over Eric W.

Nehrling, former Plymouth supervisor, whose term expired. The vote was 19 for Davies and 17 for Nehrling. Supervisors also elected another member to the County Guidance Center board to replace the Rev. Robert H. Bernhardt who is accepting a call to another church.

The Rev. Howard Johnson, Catholic chaplain at the Kettle Moraine Boys School was named to fill the post for an unexpired three-year term which ends in 1971. The election of Father Johnson recommended to the Guidance Center bardeen administrator Robert Matzek. Change of Name The name of the Guidance Center was also, officially changed Wednesday. Supervisors adopted an ordinance which decrees that the center shall now be called "Sheboygan County Mental Health Center." Sheboygan Supervisor Fred Kuether explained that the trend throughout the now to call such centers that name.

country, The center's task is to help people with mental health problems, and that is what it should be called, he said. Although the report of the library study committee was held ove until the ordinance is submitted, supervisors did hear several opinions on the subject. Petition for Library A petition with 734 signatures was submitted to the board. It favored countywide library service and urged supervisors to adopt it. The issue has been a matter of debate in the past several weeks, and is expected to come up for board action before the end of the fall session.

The study committee has proposed that the county contract with the existing county libraries to give free access to all county residents. Cost of that proposal has been estimated at nearly $148,000. It would add about 47 cents per $1,000 of equalized valuation to the county tax rate next year. The board also received letters from village boards of Koh- FROM PAGE 1 Nixon tic presidential candidate and U.N. ambassador.

An even tougher task was ahead--a stop in Rochester, to 'campaign against Humphrey on behalf of Nixon's handpicked Republican candidate for the senate, Rep. Clark MacGregor. They were hard assignments. Both Illinois and Minnesota polls showed Stevenson and Humphrey well ahead. But Nixon was determined in his mission to press on in pleading for the election of a Senate which will stand by his major programs.

There was less than a week left between election day and Nixon's schedule Thursday. He crammed in an appearance at Omaha, on his schedule before planning to fly on to California. Appeals In Dixie In four Dixie stops Wednesday, Nixon asked voters to support Republican Senate candidates who, he said, would back him in his fight for peace and prosperity and against "permissiveness pollution." Addressing friendly crowd of perhaps 15,000 people in Longview, he paid respects to Johnson. "He, too, was devoted to peace," Nixon said. "We in the Republican party are showing him the respect he deserves far more than the people in his own party." He told a similar-sized crowd in Dallas that he had telephoned Johnson evening and told him, "I knew he tried just as I am trying to bring peace to this country." Everywhere, Nixon's message was the same: forget about party affiliations and back his efforts to end the war in Vietnam, curb irresponsible spending by Congress, stem crime and preserve the environment.

In Florida, he stood by while Gov. Claude Kirk, running for reelection, damned "bombers, radicals, Fulbrights and wild-eyed liberals on the Supreme Court." FROM PAGE 1. Wausau from the hotel, searched it and removed another unclaimed suitcase as a precaution. The depot explosion caused surprisingly little damage to the suitcase in which police said a bomb had been placed. But the force of the blast shattered a plate glass window, hurling glass fragments across a parking lot and into a street.

The explosion occurred in a storage area between a garage and a waiting room. Officials said black powder rather than dynamite evidently had been used. Price Elected To Head Quarry Recreation Unit A Sheboygan bank executive has been elected president of the Sheboygan Quarry SummerWinter Recreation Area for 1970-71. He is S. Price, 627 S.

It was also reported that the painting of the exterior and interior of the quarry bathhouse is nearing completion. State Flouts Abortion Ruling: Judge Kerner MILWAUKEE (AP) A federal judge expressed annoyance Wednesday with what he said appears to be a refusal of Wisconsin officials to honor a rulthat declared the state's abortion law to be unconstitutional. Judge Otto Kerner of the 7th U.S.

Circuit Court of Appeals, Chicago, said the March decision by a three-judge U.S. District panel evidently "means nothing" to Wisconsin Atty. Gen. and Milwaukee County's district attorney, Michael McCann. Kerner was one of the three judges who ruled Wisconsin cannot violate a woman's right to have an abortion in the early months of pregnancy.

"It preserves the legislature's power to keep its chambers inviolable and aids in keeping a legislature from being overrun again."

John Taylor, Wichita Grid Player, Dies The son of a former Sheboygan woman, injured Oct. 3 in the Wichita State University football plane crash which took 29 lives, Wednesday evening at Brooks Army Hospital at San Antonio, Texas. He was John Taylor, the son of Mr.

and Mrs. Raymond Taylor of Sherman, Tex. Mrs. Taylor is the former Emily Hermann of Sheboygan who graduated from Central High School in 1939. She has four brothers, Jake, Herbert, Clarence, Henry, Walter and Kenneth Hermann, and a sister, Mrs.

Ernest (Clara) Fischer, living here. Thirteen members of the Wichita football team, its top athletic officials and some of its most loyal fans were killed outright when their Utah-bound plane crashed into a mountainside while trying to cross the Continental Divide in Colorado.

Snowmobile Ordinance A regulation ordinance snowmobile, the board by Supervisor Clarence Kwekkeboom who represents the southern portion of the Town of Sheboygan. The ordinance, if adopted, would prohibit the operation of snowmobiles after 9 at night and before 8 in the morning. Other clauses in the ordinance would prohibit excessive noise from snowmobiles, prohibit their operation on private property, unless permission was granted, and prohibit destruction of property. The penalty for violators would be $10 to $20 fine for the first offense and a $25 to $50 fine for subsequent offenses.

The proposed ordinance was referred to the law enforcement committee for study. UWS Addition A building project at the University of Wis Wisconsin-Sheboygan was proposed by the board's education committee. It is a onestory addition to the fine arts building that would cost an estimated $28,000. According to the resolution, a gas-fired kiln may not be set up now because it is necessary to have a room with a four-hour fire rating. To convert the present area would cost about $9,000 and if it were converted, space would be limited, the resolution claims.

In addition, drawing classes cannot be held in the drawing studio now because it is occupied by machines, work benches and storage facilities. The resolution was referred to the finance committee for study. The Board heard a first reading of a resolution that would add the Plymouth school district to the program for training men -tally retarded children operated by the Sheboygan County Handicapped Children's Education Board. School district electors and the school board itself have both voted to be included in the program. The Board gave final approval to a resolution to petition the U.S.

The airline designates Manitowoc as Manitou boygan on its schedule, but the stop is served through the Manitowoc airport.

Female pigs seem to have a more acute sense of smell than males, according to National Geographic. Edmond Hou-Seye and his followers do not have official title to the Sheboygan County American Party, it was claimed here today. "We're not Johnny-comelatelies; we were the American Party here in 1968," Paul W. Zimmerman, chairman of the Sheboygan County group which filed organizational papers Monday claiming piority to the American Party title. Zimmerman's group beat the better-known American Party contingent here ed by U.S.

Senate candidate Hou-Seye in filing its papers with the county clerk, thereby adding legality to its claim. Zimmerman, of 1217 N. 13th an employe at Wigwam Mills, said he headed the Sheboygan County committee supporting Alabama Gov. George Wallace's American Party candidacy for President in 1968. He also represents the Sixth Congressional District on the state party central committee, he said today.

Although he declined to say how many members the Sheboygan County American Party has, he told The Press all have carried party memberships for at least two years and are recognized by the state party's central committee. Hou-Seye, who with his sonin-law Andrew Tripoli, joined the American Party last spring, has been involved in recent weeks in a squabble with the state party's statutory chairman Joseph Birkenstock of Two Rivers over the group's leadership. Hou-Seye will appear on next Tuesday's ballot as the American Party candidate for the U.S. Senate seat now held by William Proxmire, a Democrat. On Tuesday Tripoli filed papers with County Clerk Schomberg declaring that he was elected chairman of the Sheboygan County American Party with Hou-Seye as "chief strategy officer." Tripoli also announced in a Tuesday news release that his American Party unit was endorsing the party's full slate of candidates next Tuesday, and, in addition, the Democratic candidacy of Robert A.

Zimmerman (with one Now, with the addition of a third Zimmerman Paul also with one the confusion has been magnified. Paul Zimmerman today released his Sheboygan County American Party list of endorsements for next Tuesday's election. Only American Party candidates endorsed were those not connected with the Hou-Seye faction.

In fact, the opponents of Hou-Seye's group all were pledged support. Hou-Seye's Democratic opponent Proxmire, headed the endorsement list, along with Republican Secretary of State Robert C. Zimmerman. Statewide, the local party unit endorsed American Party candidates Leo McDonald, governor; Theodore Kothe, lieutenant governor; George Hunt, treasurer and John Couture, attorney general. Rani Davidson, American Party candidate for Congress and Neal Wellmann, American Party candidate for county coroner, also were endorsed.

Others endorsed were Democrats Carl Otte and Vernon Boeckmann, the incumbent First and Second district assembly men, and Roland Schomberg, county clerk; Republicans Lance Jones for district attorney and Carl Richter for county treasurer, and Robert Frewert, the independent candidate for sheriff. In other action, the board elected Phil Davies to a threeyear term on the County Hospital board of trustees. who is Sheboygan district man- FROM PAGE 1 UPI UPI and eight others have been captured and released. Sawada had been captured by the Viet Cong not far from the same spot in May, but by sheer courage and determination talked his way out of captivity after eight hours and also saved then Phnom Penh bureau manager Robert Miller from captivity. The usually reticent Sawada defied his captors, saying if he were to be captured for the duration of the Indochina War he would prefer to be dead.

The Communists, apparently taken aback by such a statement, released both. The road they were on is one of the most dangerous in Cambodia, and the point of was eight miles from the point at Chambak where the road has been cut by the Communists for almost six months. Frosch and Sawada were checking to see if the government had begun its promised operations to clear the road. Other UPI men killed in Indochina were photographers Charles Eggleston and Hiromichi Mine, both of whom died in South Vietnam. Eggleston, 23, Philadelphia, was killed in street fighting in the Cholon area of Saigon May 6, 1968, Mine, of Japan, died March 5, 1968, when an armored personnel carrier in which he was riding hit a mine on the road between Da Nang and Phu Bai on South Vietnam's northern coast.

More than a dozen UPI correspondents and photographers have been wounded. FROM PAGE 1 Cambodians few miles to the west of Phnom Penh but government forces drove them back. "Our forces were on top of a hill and that is why the Communists could inflict no damage or casualties," Am Rong said. Cambodian spokesmen said seven North Vietnamese troops were killed in a clash along Highway 4 at a point 45 miles southwest of Phnom Penh. One Cambodian soldier was killed and another wounded in the fighting.

Communiques from Saigon said the South Vietnamese force that moved into Communist border sanctuaries around the rubber plantation town of Snuol in Cambodia killed 44 Viet Cong Wednesday. South Vietnamese troops reported killing 41 guerrillas in two other actions inside South Vietnam. FROM PAGE 1 When the U.S. Supreme Court subsequently declined to hear the state's appeal, Wisconsin officials had declared the constitutional issue remained unsettled. Kerner said and McCann seem to don't Warren, have to obey anything the federal courts do if we don't agree with it." Kerner made his remarks during a hearing on the panel's order that McCann show cause why the county should not be prevented from prosecuting Dr.

Sidney G. Babbitz of Hallandale, Fla. Babbitz, 59, formerly of Milwaukee, faces trial Nov. 30 on a charge of performing an abortion in violation of the statute. Babbit had appealed, setting up the March ruling which the state appealed to the Chicago appellate court and the Supreme Court.

The matter of the Babbitz trial was taken under advisement after Wednesday's hearing. Attorney Joseph Nellis of Washington, D.C., representing Babbitz, told the hearing: "We cannot understand why the State of Wisconsin refuses to acknowledge it is a fact of life -the abortion statute is unconstitutional." Nellis noted the Supreme Court had suggested Warren appeal to the Chicago federal court before taking the issue to Washington. "Then the state has the audacity, virtually in contempt of this court, to contend Dr. Babbitz should have appealed properly," Nellis complained. "There's nothing more appalling than the state using an innocent man," the lawyer said.

"It looks like a vendetta. Warren, seeking re-election, filed an appeal in Chicago April 3, but the state has done nothing since, Babbitz' attorneys' said. Attorney Roy Lucas of New York, speaking for the Wisconsin Committee for Legalized Abortion, told the hearing that Warren's Justice Department memorandum of April 7 warned physicians they still could be prosecuted if the federal panel's March ruling were overturned. Kerner directed that Warren's, memorandum be introduced into the record. FROM PAGE 1 Drugs day by Atty Gen.

One person was arrested as a result of that search, he said, and warrants will be sought for the arrests of two others.

She's the next thing to him.
