Hal C.

Kuehl, head of First Wisconsin said an increase in business economy seems to invite the Legislature to increase corporation tax. "That is hardly the way to encourage economic development," he said. Kuehl made his remarks Wednesday to the fall convention of the Wisconsin Association of Manufacturers and Commerce, several of whose members have accused the Democratic-controlled state government of being unsympathetic to business development. Kuehl is a chairman of the Wisconsin Strategic Development Commission, which is being asked to make recommendations for improving Wisconsin's business climate. He said business executives are concerned about income taxes, corporate taxes and capital gains taxes.

A businessman tends to view the taxes as a consolidated burden, he said. Businessmen have not succeeded in persuading the Legislature to appreciate economic growth, and a stronger lobbying effort should be made, he said. Burnell R. Roberts, chairman of Mead Corp. of Dayton, Ohio, recommended creating an advisory committee whose members would include businessmen who could counsel state officials on economic development matters.

He said Wisconsin and Ohio are alike in that both states in 1982 elected Democratic governors who did not inspire much confidence in the business community. But in Ohio, a committee has been formed to advise the governor's office, and the move is bearing fruit, Roberts said. "Cooperation is a two-way street. I don't share every value or belief the New KC tissue on test market MADISON (AP) A University of Wisconsin-Madison researcher says a treated tissue he helped develop to curb the spread of the common cold is being test-marketed in New York. Elliot Dick, a UW Medical School preventive medicine researcher, said Wednesday the tissues, which were developed in conjunction with the Kimberly-Clark are treated with chemicals which kill cold viruses.

He said the tissues are treated with simple chemicals often found in fruit and toothpaste citric acid, malic acid and sodium lauryl sulfate and are not toxic to humans. He said at a Madison news conference that the tissues are not a cure for the common cold, but can curb the spread by killing viruses left on sick people's hands through coughing, sneezing and other means. The tissues will also kill viruses left on the hands which cause influenza and some intestinal illnesses, he said. In his study, Dick said he infected 16 volunteers with a cold virus and then had them play poker for 12 hours with 24 volunteers who did not have colds. He said the group that used regular tissues infected 52 percent of the healthy volunteers, while the group that used the treated tissues infected none of the healthy people.

Dick said about 200 separate viruses can cause a cold. The tissues will kill 99.9 percent of rhinoviruses the leading cold-producing virus in less than five seconds. They will kill 80 percent of all identified cold viruses, influenza and some intestinal viruses in less than a minute, he said. Dick reported his findings Tuesday to a national meeting of the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy in Washington D.C. Kimberly-Clark named the new tissues "Avert" and is now test-marketing them in New York state.

Wiretapping becomes issue in murder case MILWAUKEE (AP) Questions about the use of wiretaps by Fond du Lac County investigators in Waukesha County have led to selection of the Milwaukee County district attorney as a special prosecutor in a slaying case. District Attorney John E. Fryatt of Waukesha County asked Wednesday for funds for an investigation of methods reportedly used to record conversations of Bonnie R. Kethley, who is accused of helping beat, burn and strangle her ex-husband. The battered body of Barry J.

Wyderka, 28, of Milwaukee, was found in April 1983 in a ditch near Ripon, Fond du Lac County, about three months after he disappeared. Mrs. Kethley, 27, of Wauwatosa, is free on $100,000 bond with no trial date set. Her husband, Kurt Kethley, 27, is in Fond du Lac County jail, scheduled for trial Oct. 29.

Kethley's Milwaukee attorney, Philip L. Atinsky, said Fryatt and Fond du Lac County District Attorney Gary Kavanagh appeared Tuesday before Judge Eugene F. McEssey in Fond du Lac with Atinsky demanding that tape recordings be handed over to the judge. Kavanagh was then reported to have withdrawn from the Kethley prosecution, with Milwaukee County District Attorney E. Michael McCann recruited to take his place.

He was forced to have a special prosecutor take the case because of a "possible legal conflict," Kavanagh said. In Waukesha, Fryatt said he too needed a special prosecutor to handle further investigation of the taping factor. He said the tape issue has been under study since Labor Day. He said some misconduct may have been involved. Published reports say a woman who suspected a relationship between her husband and Mrs.

Kethley decided to record conservations made on her home telephone, then handed the tapes over to investigators from Fond du Lac County. "They admitted there are tapes," Atinsky said after the meeting with McEssey, Fryatt and other attorneys. Wiretaps are illegal unless authorized by a judge, he said. Police catch escaper A 35-year-old man wanted in Waupaca County for armed robbery, and wanted in Winnebago County for escaping from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute, was apprehended Monday by Winnebago County authorities when he failed to show up for the armed robbery trial scheduled for that day. John Englert escaped from WMHI June 28 after having been committed there for a 15-day competency evaluation from Waupaca County.

He was captured July 12 in Winnebago County and returned to Waupaca County. In August, he posted a $5,000 bond while awaiting a trial scheduled for this week, but he did not appear for the trial. Evelyn L. Lenz, 72, Oshkosh, died Wednesday in Mercy Medical Center. She was born Oct.

The move could be especially imto Wisconsin in view of reportant sults of a recent survey in which business executives said they perceive the state as having a negative attitude toward business in terms of taxes and bureaucratic regulations. That is poor publicity for businessmen to be peddling, and it can outweigh the merits of data which state economic developers might advertise, he said. "Perceptions of this sort have a of getting around. Those of us in way business are like anyone else; we have a habit of talking to our peers," Roberts said.

Wisconsin should encourage businesses it already has, particularly those whose corporate headquarters are in the state, he said. Mead is a forest and paper products corporation which owns a corrugated container factory in Milwaukee and acquired Gilbert Paper Co. of Menasha in 1960.
