Two Top Merger Posts Unfilled MADISON (AP) Two of the top posts overseeing major mergers of state agencies remained unfilled Tuesday as the Kellett plan to streamline government came to life.

The board officiating the stormy marriage of conservation and water agencies planned to meet Thursday to debate its choice for secretary of natural resources. Gov. Warren P. Knowles named a temporary secretary of transportation, but said an advisory group would be set up to sift prospects for a permanent secretary. The new department involves highways, motor vehicles and aeronautics.

Knowles tapped Eau Claire city manager Douglas Weiford, 44, to guide the newly created Department of Local Affairs and Development in his most important appointment of the plan's first day. Weiford will take over Sept 1. The Kellett plan, taking effect on the first day of August, repackaged 87 state agencies into 28 major boards and departments. A quiet battle for the natural resources post was taking shape between Lester Voigt, state conservation director, and Freeman Holmer, director of the Department of Kesource Development. Knowles is considered allied with flolmer, a top official in Oregon until summoned to Wisconsin last year to run the war on water pollution.

But the Conservation Commission captured 4-3 control of the new Natural Resources Board as the price of compromise on the merger. The Health and Social Services Board, by contrast, conducted Its first formal meeting quietly and smoothly Tuesday. -'It officially approved its earlier choice of state welfare director Wilbur Schmidt to head the new department.
