F. David Mathews, nominated to be secretary of health, education and welfare, says he hopes the public realizes "what a hard and often thankless task this post has become." Mathews, 39-year-old president of the University of Alabama, made the comment at a news conference shortly after President Ford sent his name to the Senate for confirmation. He would succeed Caspar W. Weinberger, who resigned, reportedly to return to California because of his wife's health. Weinberger has been mentioned as a possible GOP gubernatorial candidate in that state.

Mathews, who would be the seventh Cabinet member chosen in Ford's 10-month-old administration, said he hoped it was clear that he did not seek the nomination "It is rather a draft to assume an extremely difficult assignment, and it should be remembered that the nomination must be confirmed by the Senate." But Mathews also said, "I am honored by President Ford's personal confidence in me and pleased that he himself brought my name into this matter." Seeing-Eye Dog Walkers May Be Breaking IaiwI MILWAUKEE (AP) -Walking their seeing-eye dogs may be an exercise in law-breaking this weekend for delegates to a state convention of the American Council for the Blind. No arrests are expected, however. About 200 blind persons and 15 or 20 guide dogs are expected for the meeting in a downtown hotel that's at least two blocks from the nearest grassy area. Hotel officials sought county permission to turn the grass, located under a freeway, into a walking area for the dogs, but learned it would cost $10 for a permit and $100 for a deposit. "A deposit for the deposits," as H.B.

Wildschut, county public works director, put it. The permit plan was dropped, but a hotel spokesman says he'll suggest that conventioneers walk their dogs on the grass anyway. To do that, they'll have to cross a street where signs say: "No Pedestrian Crossing."

Although Justice V. R.

Krishna Iyer ruled that she could continue in the prime minister's office, he said she could not vote in Parliament, and her foes contended this constituted a stigma which required her resignation. Glen E. Thompson OLATHE, Kan. (AP) The Rev. Glen E.

Thompson, the new district superintendent of the Kansas City, United Methodist Conference, took his own life Thursday by crawling under the wheels of a moving cement truck, police said. The Rev. Mr. Thompson, 47, was recently elected to the church's general conference, its national policy-making body. may HEW, which spends one out of every three federal dollars, is beset by money problems.

Colleges and universities are seeking more aid, health costs are soaring and welfare rolls are at an all time high. Mathews, who has been president of the university since 1969, said he would seek a leave of absence from. the school's board of trustees while serving in the Ford administration. Mathews and his wife, Mary, are both from Grove Hill, a hamlet in southwest Alabama, and he credits his growing up in a small town for his success in life. "I'm not quite sure what it is, but maybe it's just being surrounded by people who have confidence in you and will support you out of proportion," he said.

Mathews attracted the President's attention and had been appointed in recent months to the Bicentennial Commission and the President's Advisory Committee on Refugees. The Jaycees picked Mathews as one of the 10 outstanding young men in the nation in 1969, and he is active in a number of civil and academic bodies. Fellberg Death Not A Suicide, Coroner Rules The death of a 28-year-old Sheboygan man reported by police last week as an apparent suicide, was not a suicide but rather resulted from an illness, according to a death report signed by Sheboygan County Coroner Andrew J. Cyrus. Reported as a suicide was the death of LeRoy R.

Fellberg who died June 16. The body was found the next day by a relative. Police had told The Press that an investigation revealed that the man had been despondent and that half empty containers of pills made it appear to have been a suicide, resulting from an overdose of medication. The coroner, however, has listed Fellberg's death as caused by epilepsy. From Page 1 Shooting tails about the deaths of the FBI agents.

However, Sen. James Abou-rezk, told The Associated Press the FBI told him the trouble started when the two agents attempted to serve warrants on a man wanted in connection with an alleged kidnaping. Abourezk said the FBI told him that on Wednesday it had identified five Indians who had allegedly kidnaped a white man and his son who lived on the reservation. The senator said the FBI also told him that there appeared to be bunkers near the house, but it was unclear whether they were man-made or natural. Mm 1 i Vv that they have life women SHU NEW YORK (AP) Some passengers who perished in the fiery crash of an Eastern Airlines jet might still be alive if their seats had faced the rear, says Dr.

Michael M. Baden, the city's deputy chief medical examiner. He said Thursday that preliminary autopsies showed that most of the 110 victims of Tuesday's crash died TIT T7i Pay Hike "which doesn't even match the cost of living." "We should be setting the example" of austerity, he said. "I do not intend to sit idly by and watch this pay grab go through." Vote For Package Committeemen who voted for the pay package were Democratic Reps. Dennis Conta of Milwaukee, Terry Willkom of Chippewa Falls and Anderson, Republican Rep.

John Shabaz of New Berlin, and Democratic Sens. Wayne Whittow of Milwaukee and Henry Dorman of Racine. Voting against it were GOP Sen. Clifford Krueger of Merrill and Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison.

It was Willkom's proposal to subtract from the $2,165 increase which stalled Thursday on the 4-4 tie vote. Voting for it were Willkom, Shabaz, Anderson and Conta. The senators voting to retain the full increase were Risser, Dorman, Krueger and Whittow. Anderson said he had been unaware a week ago that he was voting for a legislative increase greater than that being provided for other public employees, including judges and statehouse executives. Willkom Amendment Whittow insisted the committee need not amend its plan, at least immediately.

"There is time for the legislature to address the salaries of elected officials later," he said, noting that wage levels for most state employees are to go into effect Tuesday at the start of the 1975-76 fiscal year. Willkom's amendment would have trimmed the increases proposed for all elected officials, including judges, Supreme Court justices, the governor and other constitutional executives. Democratic Gov. Patrick J. Lucey has said he finds the new executive salary proposed by the committee somewhat embarrassing.

Anderson and Risser accused the Administration Department of having failed to get the plan to the committee with enough time for thorough review. But the department said committee members attended closed-door meetings on the plan as long ago as April, and have had copies of the plan since June 4. Meanwhile, the Assembly approved a bill providing a new form of distribution for $3.2 million worth of merit pay raises to state employees.

"I need a little take-off power," were the last words of pilot John W. Kleven, according to a tape of the conversation between Kleven and the Kennedy tower. The Federal Aviation Administration said the entire tape and transcript would be made public Monday.
