Rockefeller, in an attempt to replace a plan struck down as unconstitutional, introduced a bill Saturday that would provide $30.75 million in aid to nonpublic schools.

The plan would provide health and safety grants for maintenance and repair programs along with special grants for poverty area schools. Rockefeller's proposal would replace one that was held unconstitutional in January a few days before checks were to be mailed. A special three-judge federal court held that the law enacted in 1971 violated the constitutional ban on laws respecting the establishment of religion. The governor's new proposal would provide three types of The previous program would have provided funds for such things as teacher salaries and textbooks. A unanimous three-judge federal court ruled in January, however, that the funds violated the separation between church and state.

Rockefeller, in a memorandum accompanying his new plan, said, however, that the state has "a prime responsibility" to ensure the health and safety of its citizens under the state constitution. "A fiscal crisis now exists in nonpublic primary and secondary schools in this state," he said, "which can be expected to cause a suspension of necessary maintenance and repair programs in these schools. aid for the current 1971-72 school years. Health and safety grants of $30 per enrolled student. Annual assistance of $12 per student enrolled in schools serving high concentrations of pupils from low-income families.

One-time grants of $10 per student for deferred maintenance and repairs required because of the "fiscal crisis now confronting nonpublic schools." The funds would be based on an estimated nonpublic school enrollment of 734,000 students, of whom an estimated 106,000 are in the poverty area schools and would be eligible for aid under Title IV of the Federal Higher Education Act. "Such maintenance and repair programs are essential to ensure the health and safety of the children attending nonpublic schools and the state has a strong interest in providing these health and safety grants to ensure that the necessary maintenance and repair programs are carried out," the governor said. Rockefeller said that such health and safety grants are permitted under the "neutral, nonideological services, facilities, and materials" guidelines contained in recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions. Under the plan, payments of one-half of the aid would be made on or before May 15 of each year.

(AP) Democratic rivals in Florida's presidential primary free-for-all hunted votes at picnics, rallies and shopping centers Saturday, with Sen.

Edmund S. Muskie declaring that a victory for favored Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace would be a message that "this is the state where the New South died." The embattled Muskie, campaigning for a good showing in Tuesday's primary to prove himself as the front runner in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, said he doesn't believe Florida wants to send the rest of the nation that kind of message. "I don't believe Florida wants to hear the party of John Kennedy speaking with the voice of George Wallace," he told some 200 people after a picnic in a South Miami park.

Nonetheless, the major White House contenders are struggling for second place Tuesday while Wallace rides his antibusing bandwagon as the favorite in an 10-way race. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, meanwhile, was telling a mock convention of high school students from around the state that, as president he would create a cabinet rank office of youth affairs. He promised "the full involvement of youth in solving America's problems." He then moved on to an apartment house for senior citizens, and told about 150 people there that he sponsored Medicare, housing for the elderly, Social Security increases and an assortment of other programs for the aging.

"I have given some years to this country, and I have more to give," he said. When you get into a storm in an airplane, you'd better have a pilot with a little gray in his hair." Sen. George S. McGovern of South Dakota was in Orlando, where he told the families of American prisoners in North Vietnam, that as president, he would announce an immediate withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Indochina within 90 days, end support of the current Saigon government, and then press for release of the POWs.

Wallace, favored in the Florida public opinion polls, did his Saturday campaigning at rallies in towns like Palatka and Lake City, in the conservative north. He urged the voters, as he does at each stop, to send Washington a message by electing him, claiming that a Florida victory for him would mean action by the administration to end school busing. Florida's primary Tuesday is the second test of voter preferences in a presidential primary season that will cover 23 states before the national political convention next-summer. "Last week we won in New Hampshire," said Muskie. "This week we must win in Florida." (See stories Pages 4A and IE) An emergency meeting attended by 60-65 Conelec Inc.

Messuro, sales manager for Metropolitan Life Insurance Rochester branch office, was named escrow agent and opened an escrow account at Lincoln Rochester Trust Co. Another provision under which stockholders are being asked to contribute money is that Messuro will be authorized to loan the money to Conelec if they (Conelec) can obtain confirmation of a plan under which all administration expenses, taxes, priority portions of wages, certificates of indebtedness and secured claims of Marine Midland Bank-Southern, Chemung Canal Trust Co. are paid and discharge of Gillett Tool Inc. claims to patents once held by Conelec.

Can Muskie Survive Florida Test? ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Minority Democrats in the legislature proposed Saturday that the state spend $47.7 million more for education to meet two goals: to help cut local property taxes and to "halt the decline in our educational system." Their proposed increase would be on top of Republican Gov. Rockefeller's proposal to add $117 million in fiscal 1972-73 for state aid to local schools. "The governor's idea is just to stand still," one Democratic source said. "Our idea is to help the schools move ahead." As outlined in a joint statement by the minority leaders of the two houses, Sen.

Joseph Za-retzki of Manhattan and Assemblyman Stanley Steingut of Brooklyn, the plan calls for raising the ceiling on state aid payments from $860 per student to $935. This would figure out to an average increase of about $37 a year in the state's share of a local district's operating costs. appeared to have agreed to an election-eve debate, then to have backed out at the last minute. And his handling of the campaign financing disclosure controversy has diluted the strength of his "politics of trust" appeal. Thus, the consensus of the politically knowledgeable here is that he will finish third to Wallace and Humphrey.

The opinion polls agree, but none of them here seems highly regarded by the campaign strategists. By JACK W. GERMOND Washington Bureau Chief Gannett News Service MIAMI The operative question in the Florida primary Tuesday is this one Is the campaign of Sen. Edmund S. Muskie coming apart at the seams? Everyone here answers the usual question who's winning? with the same words: George Wallace.

Indeed, not a single professional in the camp of any of the other 10 candidates contends Wallace can Muskie's problem here is based only partially on his performance in New Hampshire last week. After all, he did win there, even not by the kind of plurality he might have been expected to achieve. More serious is the feeling of political professionals, including some of his own, that his support here is "soft" meaning that he has not given voters adquate ground for a full commitment to him: Muskie got himself into a position, for example, where he place finish would be devastating for Muskie. Coming on the heels of his unimpressive 48 per cent in New Hampshire, it would be taken by Democratic leaders as evidence Muskie's appeal to the electorate has been grossly overrated. And such a reading in the party would change the whole shape of the campaign, perhaps moving Humphrey into the man-to-beat position and almost certainly inspiring a serious movement for Sen.

Edward M. Kennedy. be overtaken. The argument instead is over whether he will get 25 or 30 per cent of the vote. For Muskie, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination for more than a year, the pressure is on to finish second or, at worst, a close third to Sen.

Hubert H. Humphrey. The latter would hurt but not necessarily cripple him for the four months of competition ahead. But anything less than a strong third such as a fourth.
