State Limps Alon Without A Budeet HARIlISHUilG, Pa, (AP)- Anolher attempt at finding budget for new fiscal year is scheduled to begin today when six legislators meet to re solve what Senate and (louse could not accomplish ir threc months.

The 26 Senate Democrats approved a spending a earlier, hours into the new year, but the House voted 135-5(1, nine hours later, to reject the Senate version. Thus a joint House-Senate conference committee will attempt to work out a compromise between Gov. Shapp's $3.2 billion request and another version, $150 million smaller, backed by Republicans and a bloc of upstate House Democrats. The new fiscal year began al midnight Friday. On instructions from Gov.

Shapp, flood relief efforts have continued unabated, while slate employes have been asked to continue working even though they can't he paid until a budget is signed into iaw.

Donald M. Davis (53rd District) of Uniontown R. D. this morning issued the following statement concerning the proposed $3.2 billion slate budget, "1 object most vehemently to Mr. Shapp's charges that the upstate Democratic block of which I am a member, played politics with the current budget.

"When Gov. vShapp presented his budget to us originally back in March, there most, certainly was no hint of a flood at that time. When we Democrats chose to 'trim the a from his budget there certainly was no hint of a flood at that time either, tf anyone is playing politics with the budget, it is the senate, the governor, or both. "The Senate, as an example, placed a $66 million cut in wel- a knowing full well that there would have to be a deficiency of appropriations at the later date for this amount and they also knew a Ihe county court costs would he meager in all counties compared to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, who incidentally will receive the lion's share of the $73 million program. "I have no intention of voting for a budget containing cuts that are as phoney as a three dollar bill.

"All cuts were genuine, and should have remained as such. "The total $152 million in Hood relief that we passed is the exact amount that we upstate Democrats cut from his budget. "I believe the entire problem with our governor is the so-called 'revenue sharing item' that he is defending. "The people of Pennsylvania can rest assured that we will not cave in to the phoney budget as proposed by the Senate." JWCSDAY-COUNTHY KCHOKS IDFAWTOUNGE EXOTIC ALICE-KARIYN NEW A I Vol. Kirn Dcpt.
