Duryea and Brydges, along with Assembly Minority Leader Stanley Steingut, D-Brooklyn, insisted that the compromise plan was still intact. Designed to meet a budget deficit of over the next 15 months, the plan contains tax increases including a 2Vi per cent surcharge on the state income tax and boosts in the levies on cigarettes, liquor and gasoline. Meanwhile, two Democratic lawmakers took the legislature's Republican leaders to court in an attempt to halt proceedings in the special session. Assemblymen Herbert Posner of Far Rockaway and Eli Wager of Woodmere contend that the state constitution forbids the legislature to consider any revenue plan for the next fiscal year beginning April 1 until Gov.

Rockefeller submits his budget showing how the money is to be spent. Posner argued before Supreme Court Justice Russell G. Hunt that the governor's revenue plan would produce only about $43 million in ready cash, which could be provided from the "rainy-day" fund the legislature had created. That fund, the Tax Revenue Stabilization Reserve Fund, was designed to provide cash for just such emergencies. Posner subpoenaed records on the fund from the state comptroller's office.

Deputy Comptroller Theodore Spatz presented a balance sheet showing, a he explained it, "Zero is the amount that's in there at the present time" because all the money has been loaned to the General Fund. ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -After hours of fruitless haggling, the leaders of the legislature Monday night postponed again a vote on a compromise fiscal plan containing $407 million in tax increases. The Senate and Assembly were called into session about 9 p.m. and the members were told to report back this morning for possible debate.

It meant that the legislature would go into a seventh day of a special session. The lawmakers returned to Albany Monday after failing to endorse a fiscal plan in five days of meetings last week. The main issue Monday appeared to hinge on the Long Khanh Province, one of the weakest government areas in the 3rd Military Region that includes Saigon and 11 surrounding provinces.

"We're ready to go," he told reporters, "I'm just waiting for the Assembly." Assembly Speaker Perry B.

The vote came after 11 persons addressed the board on 'the issue. Dr.

Harry Q. Packer, schools superintendent, then recommended to the board that Horigan be replaced because he "did not exercise leadership and good judgement" in allowing an article describing a drug experience to be printed in the paper. Gary A. Yoggy, board member, questioned Dr. Packer's recommendation.

Since Dr. Packer based his decision to dismiss Horigan on the basis that the adviser violated guidelines he had agreed to follow in operating the newspaper, Yoggy asked who had drawn up the guidelines. The guidelines were issued by Horigan and submitted to the school board last fall in connection with Horigan's appointment as adviser, Dr. Packer said. The guidelines had been drawn up to avoid the reoccurence of an incident which occurred in the last year school year.

Dr. Packer said that last year an article containing false statements and inaccurate information was published in the Hegelian, the school newspaper. The article was later retracted. One of the six guidelines said "no words or terms presented in bad taste will be tolerated," Dr. Packer explained.

The article in question, Dr. Packer continued, "In my opinion, was indecent, vulgar and in poor taste." Dr. Packer said he also objected to the ending of the article which "closed with the thought that perhaps the drug world 'was, indeed, the best of all possible worlds'." Yoggy countered that since Horigan had drawn up the guidelines, he might not have believed that The GAO auditors blamed an inadequate staff in the Office of Education and lack of forceful collection action for the mounting repayment failure. The loans from banks and other private lenders are negotiated by students, but payment is guaranteed if the student defaults under the Guaranteed Student Loan Program established by Congress in 1965. The federal obligation of $13.3 million by Sept.

30 was on defaulted or canceled loans, the GAO report said. It said of these had not been processed by the Office of Education and no collection action had been taken on 3,049 of them. In response to the report, the Office of Education said it has asked to expand its three-man collection staff to 55. It also said it agreed with the recommendation that it take tougher action to collect the unpaid loans. Index Gannett News Service Special WASHINGTON A government survey indicated Monday that erroneous welfare payments are going to one fourth of the nation's welfare families and to one-sixth of the aged, blind and disabled on the rolls.

Offocials said these errors may be costing the taxpayers half a billion dollars a year. The Health, Education and Welfare Department said that of the 2.7 million welfare families with children, it peared that 14 per cent are being overpaid, 9 per cent are being underpaid and 5.6 per cent or about 160,000 families are ineligible for any payment. Similar errors occur in payments to one-sixth of the 3.1 million aged, blind and disabled welfare recipients, the survey indicated. Of the 3.1 million, 4.9 per cent or about 155,000 persons appear to be ineligible for any payment. HEW conducted the survey in 41 states.

It said more than one-half of the erroneous payments resulted from "honest mistakes" by state and local welfare offices. Most of the other wrong payments, it said, were due to honest mistakes by recipients. Fraud accounted for only a small fraction of the total, according to HEW. If all of the errors could be corrected, officials said, there might be a net taxpayer savings of 1500 million in welfare costs, which are now running $9.6 billion a year. But they told a news conference there was no hope of correcting the errors without a massive overhaul of welfare management.

The officials said the survey documented that the management of welfare now handled by 1,152 state and local offices is breaking down under a TV Replacement For Duel Named HOLLYWOOD (AP) Television actor Roger Davis will replace the late Peter Duel as costar of the "Alias Smith and Jones" series, Universal Studios and the ABC network announced Monday.

Yanks Mauled in Vietnam J. MICHAEL HORIGAN the article violated them. Yoggy added that after reading the article he had come to a different conclusion from Dr. Packer. He thought the article pointed out what a horrible experience a drug trip could be, Yoggy said.

In addition, Yoggy said the worst word he could find the article was "prophylactic" which the dictionary defines as a "device for protecting health." "It's also the brand name of a toothbrush," Yoggy said. Ben E. Lynch, board member, then said if only the person who draws up guidelines is able to follow them, there would be no room for communication. Board member Norman E. Heyman also disagreed strongly with Yoggy.

Heyman said he would follow the superintendent's recommendation. The article wasn't in the "best of taste," Heyman said, and as a representative of the public, he was voting to replace Horigan. Although the persons present in the audience who spoke against the article called for better "policing" of the newspaper and a tempering of objective material, several specifically said they weren't asking that the teacher "lose his job." "That's probably an overreaction," one man said who added he did want the newspaper to show good taste. The board then moved to appoint Mrs. Nancy Jeziorski, a Horseheads High Latin as the new paper adviser at an annual stipend of $350.

Yoggy asked if Mrs. Jeziorski has received tenure. When told she doesn't yet have tenure, Yoggy noted that any teacher taking on the newspaper advisory job without tenure "is at the mercy of the board." The board members began to exchange words until Mrs. Karol Johnson, board president, called for order. After the vote dismissing Horigan, most of the young people, attending the meeting ieft grumbling.

Another contingent of people, many of whom had stood up early as representatives of various churches, clapped vigorously after the vote. Heyman who had told board members at the beginning of the meeting he would leave after the vote, got up and left while still trading verbal thrusts with Yoggy. Aerospace Pay Boost Cut Sought WASHINGTON (AP) A business member of the Pay Board said Monday it will cut down somewhat a 12 per cent pay raise for aerospace workers, then begin living by its 5.5 per cent rule. The business member, General Electric Co. Vice President Virgil Day, said he and the other four business members want the aerospace raise cut at least to 8 per cent, and the five public members also want them trimmed by an unspecified amount.

Such a line-up would mean that the five labor members, who want the full 12 per cent raise, would be outvoted. The board takes up the aerospace raise today. Even an 8 per cent raise would exceed the board's rules, which say raises in new contracts generally may not exceed 5.5 per cent a year, and even in special cases can't go over 7 per cent. jettison the existing "non-system" of management and erect in its stead a national uniform automated system of income maintenance, such as that embodied in, President Nixon's welfare reform bill. place Monday.
