Shapp Claims Worth Money He's Paid HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP)An angry legislator and Pulli- zer Prize winning columnist notwithstanding; Gov'. Milton J. Shapp says it is'worth year to keep his former campaign publicist on the stale payroll as a "consultant" in Washington. The controversy is over Oscar Jager, a-59-year old public relations specialist and Washington lobbyist whose pasl clients have included embattled United Mine-Workers president W.A.

"Tony" Boyle. Jager was also Milton J. Shapp's press secretary during Shapp's and unsuccessful campaign in 1966. le worked for the governor's 1970 campaign for a time. And now he's receiving a year in slate funds to lobby in he nation's capital for more ederal funds for Pennsylvania.

The salary was guaranteed in a contract signed with Jager in April, 1971, and only recently revealed. "Let me tell you it's a bar gain," said Jager Wednesday. "Other consultants get twice as much." Agreed Gov. Shapp: "I'm sure 'when (he facts are revealed lo the legislature and a in Pennsylvania they'll realize they're getting Spending Cuts Call Unrealistic Shapp HARRISBURG, Pa. The Chamber of Commerce and lawmakers are completely unrealistic in pushing for a smaller state budget and tax reductions', Gov.

Milton Shapp says. "We could abolish the income tax and the sales tax totally, right now, if the state would get out of the of subsidizing education, "Shapp told a press conference Wednesday. 3 Americans ('Continued Iron' Ona) lice reported no injuries, both explosions wrecked lavatories in which they been planled. A group calling itself but the had the "But think what would happen on the local level-property taxes would rise by intolerable rales, wage (axes would in crease, other local nuisance levies would skyrocket." The slate and local chamber? have b.een running newspapei ads urging legislators to cul the budget by $440 million. "Asl your legislator to cul the budg et and lower taxes," are their appeals to citizens.

Shapp termed the tactic "the most misleading public relations in the history of Pennsylvania." He also said the latest csti- male of a revenue surplus for Ihis fiscal year ending June 30 is $32.4 million. The administration has been projecting I I 1 I I 1IH!

The Shapp-Jager comments ollowed a call by Rep. Frank O'Connell, R-Luzerne, for an in- 'estigation oE Jager's "consulting" contract with the Com- nomveallh.

O'Connell backed up his request by citing a syndicated column last Sunday Jack The column 'Ja ger's election campaign work in 1969 for Boyle, whose elec lion as UMW president has since been nullified. O'Connel said the article accused Jage of getting his salary from union treasury, funds. The column, however, madi no mention of Jager's salary i from the unioi treasury. The column was crifi cal of Jager's work for Boyle and the contracl. Jager resigned as Shapp'i campaign press secretary ii 1970 to avoid emhrrrassing thi governor after Anderson ac cused him of fabricating cam paign stories for Boyle.

Jager said' as Shapp's con siillant he tries to obtain feder al funds for Pennsylvania, sug gests new legislation in Penn sylvania's interest and ar ranges meetings between slat and federal officials.

"I'm sure that Ihe technology and Ihe ingenuity exist within our industry to accomplish Ihis, but our efforts will he in vain if we do not have new and helpful government altitudes toward our export problems," Golt said.
