32-WAUSAU DAILY RECORD-HERALD MERRILL DAILY HERALD MONDAY, JULY 3, 1972 Nixon has had little success in bid to reshape government Thi legislation still awaits action by the full House, then, if approved, by the Senate. a new spirit of creativity to the federal system. Ways and Means Committee chairman Wilbur D. Mills, termed the bill, which has been revised to his satisfaction, "a landmark in federal-state-local fiscal relations." Meantime, the President's call for comprehensive reorganization of the executive branch of federal government has attracted little enthusiasm in Congress. The problem came under extensive review by the House Government Operations WASHINGTON (AP) Nearly three years after President Nixon planted seeds of his New Federalism, he's still waiting for the harvest from Capitol Hill.

Depending on willingness of Democratic hands, he may get revenue sharing and welfare reform two prize crops In an election year. But most of his 16-montn-old bid to reshape the executive branch is dying on the vine. "After a third of a century of power flowing from the people and the states to Washington," Nixon told the nation on Aug. 8, 1969, "it is time for a New Federalism In which power, funds and responsibility will flow from Washington to the states and to the people." With this first formal reference to his New Federalism concept, Nixon urged welfare reforms and a start on sharing federal tax revenues with the states. Nixon expanded on his plans when he told the nation's governors on Sept.

1, 1969, his strategy involved reforming the government's structure by "pruning out those programs that troversy centered on how the system should be reformed. Nixon's plugs in early days of New Federalism formation were for abolishing what he called "the discredited aid to families with dependent children program" and for launching "in its place a new system that for the first time would insure a minimum income for every family with dependent children." Conflict developed in Congress. The House-passed administration plan would guarantee a $2,400 annual income for a family of four, with bene have failed or that have outlived their time." In March 1971 came Nixon's plan to revamp the executive branch as "a natural complement to my proposals for revenue sharing." In Congress, meanwhile, many approached his concept with applause for the design. The House displayed the most interest in Nixon's ideas. But trouble developed in the Senate.

For Instance, over conservative opposition, the House in April 1970 passed welfare revisions in a family assistance bill. The measure died in the to sharing some $30 billion with states and local governments over the span of five years. Opponents of revenue-sharing legislation described it as dealing with a fiscal ailment by recommending an overdose of spending. "It contains potentially the biggest giveaway program ever enacted by Congress," said Rep. John W.

Byrnes of Wisconsin, ranking Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee. But Nixon maintained that revenue sharing would bring a new sense of accountability and fits for the "working poor." But the Senate committee voted for a new welfare plan for families with dependent children, stressing tough work requirements for heads of families. Republicans say they remain hopeful the major conflicts can be resolved so some sort of welfare reform bill will be sent to Nixon this year. After twice passing Nixon's welfare reform plan, the House approved his revenue sharing measure. The House passed it June.

22, and the Senate is expected to go along with this administration-endorsed approach Senate adjournment pile-up. Then H.B. officially the first House bill introduced when the new Congress met in 1971, contained essentially the same welfare reform concepts with some revised details. The House passed it in June 1971. A year later, the Senate Fi nance Committee, with its own version, scrapped key features of the House-passed bill and agreed on a sharply different approach.

The arguments were not so much about the need for reform, since most agreed the system isn't working. The con FOR SALE! 443' Frontage on Like Alice, near Tomahawk. Whole piece or 3 lots. Blacktop road, buried telephone cable. Terms, $50.

They don't know many of their neighbors any more. "That used to be part of it, knowing people," Schreiber said. "If you went in to get a haircut or buy something at the store, you'd know everyone." The burly, tanned Schreiber fingered his overalls. "Now you go in and you feel if you're not dressed up, they're looking at you," he said. Their farm is walled by apartment complexes.

"This is good potato ground here," the 48-year-old farmer said. "It's silly to take good producing land and build apartments on it." More and more restrictions, complaints from adjacent apartments and an increase in property taxes from $960 to in 1970 have forced the Schreibers from the family homestead They are going to move. It will be another farm, the Schreibers say, but away from people. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (Ar1) Jim Schreiber and his wife had planned to work their rich potato farm until they died.

It was homsteaded by Schreiber's great-grandfather and it's home. It's still a farm but Schreiber says you wouldn't know it. His Norweigian elkhound can't run because of a city ordinance. He and his wife can't sit on their front porch comfortably because of the noise from traffic. When the telephone rings, it's likely the police with another complaint from an apartment resident about the noise of an irrigating motor.

Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, meant a twoday postponement of Fischer's encounter with world champion Boris Spassky of Russia. The match was to have started at 5 p.m. Sunday 12 p.m. CDT. Euwe said a friend of the American challenger was leaving for New York "to talk with him." "He will try to convince him to appear.

I can't say who it is," he added. Fischer refused to play the match after officials of the Icelandic Chess Federation balked at his last-minute demands for more money, in addition to a record purse already contracted for. Fischer and Spassky were to have a guaranteed share of $125,000 the winner taking five-eighths plus 30 per cent each of income from the sale of film and television rights.
