That all serves me very well, and the lieutenant governor after all is the number two position in state government and should be experienced in state government," Flynn said.

Frank has stressed his being a full-time Milwaukee alderman "which is like being mayor of a city of 40.000." Flynn, 37, has degrees in economics and law from Marquette University. He was elected to the Senate in 1972, re-elected in 1976 and 1980 and is in the middle of a four-year term. Frank, 40, was elected to the Milwaukee City Council in 1973 and reelected in 1976 and 1980. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a major in English. He served with the Peace HERALD MADISON BUREAU MADISON It has been said that the major function of Wisconsin's lieutenant governor is check-" on the health of the governor.

The three Democratic candidates for lieutenant governor in the Sept. 14 primary propose to change that. are the ideas for the office have advanced in their campaigns for the nomination: State Sen. James Flynn of West Allis said the lieutenant gov- ernor should get Cabinet rank to head a department in the executive branch. His choice would be to head the Department of Development.

Milwaukee Alderman Wayne Frank said the lieutenant governor should be the Wisconsin lobbyist in dealings with the federal govern- ment and an ombudsman to represent citizens in dealing with the state bureaucracy. Jack Gleason of Milwaukee racy, Frank said, "That means being out of Madison on almost a daily basis." Gleason said Wisconsin needs selling and promotion. "Let's keep plants in Wisconsin. We should form an executive Council of plant managers and work managers. We are losing not only the tax base of plants but the tax base from people who work in them.

In other words, let's guard our turf. We have a lot of good things to remind people of thanks to our vocational school system," he said. Gleason said Wisconsin has fallen behind other states in promotion of tourism and that more promotion is needed for milk sales. Flynn has stressed his experience in state government "as a distinction among the candidates" in the primary. "I have the most significant experience.

I have been in the Legis "The result is a dual capacity. The lieutenant governor has day to day responsibilities and also heads a department of the executive branch. I would like to serve that way and would ask the governor for that kind of responsibility. "I would be interested in Wisconsin's lieutenant governor, myself in particular, to serve as head of the Department of Development. I have a degree in economics.

I have been on the Joint Finance Committee dealing in economic policy formation with the Department of Development," Flynn said. Frank said there is a void in representation of state government needs in Washington. "Right now, we are 46th among the states in dollars returned from the federal government," he said. Of his idea to have the lieutenant governor be a go-between for citizen dealings with state bureauc nor. That ended the major constitutional function of the office, and the job has become one of special assignments from the governor and minding the store when the governor is out of the state.

Flynn notes that California, Florida and Indiana have their lieutenant governors heading departments for development, commerce or administration. Cost estimate for Portage prison questioned BUYING State digest inflation as long as it is delayed, and that Kahn's clients are in part responsible for delay. Interests represented by Kahn and attorney Kevin Lyons, and by Milwaukee County District Attorney E. Michael McCann, persuaded Judge Patrick T. Sheedy to issue an injunction against the Portage site, saying the state had not adequately prepared an environmental impact statement.

In Madison, meanwhile, Gov. Lee S. Dreyfus suggested to the State Building Commission that the Legislature can exempt the Portage site from environmental protection rules. MILWAUKEE (AP) The lawyers who want the state to build its newest penitentiary near Milwaukee instead of Portage say state officials have been too conservative about guessing the project's cost. They say it could cost between $72 million and $100 million, compared with the $36 million authorized by the Legislature and the $50 million estimate submitted this week by the project's architects.

The State Building Commission, having been reminded that architects' fees are geared to a project's over-all price, has told the designers to return in 30 days with a plan that reduces the cost to $40 million. Charles Kahn, an attorney representing Milwaukee-site petitioners, said the state's cost estimates are unreliable because they do not include the interest which loans would accrue. "It looks like it will cost $100 million, double the stated price when debt service is considered," he told an interviewer Wednesday. "I am being conservative," he said. "The $50 million figure completely ignores the cost of borrowing money." Ironically, the state complains that the project's cost is being increased by ALUMINUM CANS at TWO Convenient Locations Every Friday at Shopko Parking Lot (Behind Ponderosa Restaurant) 3-7 p.m.

Officials identified the victims as Judy Staves, 26, who had been due to have a baby Wednesday or today, and her son, Ryan. Two other children 5-year-old Becky and 3-year-old Rayne (ray-nee) were rescued by the Prairie Farm Fire Department.

Authorities said the husband and father of the victims, Roland Staves, discovered the fire on returning home about 8:45 a.m. and called the fire department. Dunn County Sheriff Richard Rissler said an explosion in a television set was believed to have ignited a chair in the living room of the home. The deaths of the victims, who were in a nearby bedroom, were blamed on smoke inhalation. Tax increase cuts cigarette sales in state Wisconsin Trails $2.50 Sept.Oct.

Zellner said Wisconsin collected $13.5 million funds Inqu lnes on Mil Iff MflTTdEL LCTRQniC5 TM MADISON (AP) The state has received more than 3,000 inquiries since Wisconsin newspapers published names of 6,000 persons due to recover over $3 million in unclaimed funds, State Treasurer Charles Smith said Wednesday. Every two years newspapers publish a list of names the state gets from banks, insurance companies, savings and loan associations, credit unions and other businesses for accounts at those institutions that have shown no activity in the past 10 years, Smith said. His office then provides respondents with details on how to go about contacting the institution and claiming the funds. He said if the funds are not claimed within 65 days of the newspaper publications, the money is forwarded to the state, which holds it so the owner or heir can claim it.

The unclaimed funds are deposited in the Wisconsin School Fund which is used to make low interest loans to cities and school districts. Su aSrcr Srvrfl CXilrfT D. C.
