Monday, July 3, 1972 3 STAR-GAZETTE Elmlra, N.Y. Pennsy Lacks Money for Payro the sick, the disabled and those who depend on the state to help them out," Shapp said. Separate bills providing $150 million for flood relief reamin in a Senate committee, where they will stay until the budget is passed, according to Shapp. House Majority Leader K. Leroy Irvis, D-Allegheny, said the leadership had lined up nearly 90 House votes in favor of the Senate budget version, much like Gov.

Shapp's proposal. But when members saw the bill going down despite their support, they deserted in droves, to tack another anti-spending vote onto their elec tion-year records. Passage of the budget would require 102 votes. Upstate Democrats and all but four Republicans stood firm in their quest for budget reductions. The major objection to Shapp's proposal remains a $73 million program of state aid to local courts, child welfare programs, prison costs, mental helath services and community colleges.

The governor's budget would send two-thirds of the amount to Philadelphia and Allegheny counties, leaving the remainder for the other 65 counties. Irvis said that during meetings Saturday with the rural Democratic bloc, there had been "some change" in their position. They remained opposed to a $47 million program to aid county courts, Irvis said, but might be won over to child welfare and mental health programs.

(AP) -Gov. Shapp has directed flood relief activities to continue and asked state employes to remain at their posts, even though the legislature has left him without the money to pay for it. The House voted overwhelmingly late Saturday, the U. S. to Mark 196th Year first day of the new fiscal year, to reject a $3.2 billion budget proposal rammed through the Senate earlier.

A joint House-Senate conference committee, including three lawmakers from each chamber, will have to work out a final budget. The 26 Senate Democrats passed their spending plan against solid Republican opposition, but the party's strength broke down in the House, where an upstate Democratic bloc refused to give way. The Senate version failed in the House, 135-50. All checks from the state, including emergency assistance to flood victims, have been stopped. The state's vendors have been asked to continue supplying materials with the bill "to be honored later."

Students of Bar-Dan University, located near a Tel Aviv crossroad haunted by hitchhiking prostitutes, announced they would clandestinely photograph driver-clients and mail the pictures to them after identifying them through license plates. Letters will be attached, asking the drivers to change their mending session this week with AFL-CIO president George Meany. But the South Dakota senator and leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination would not close the door on the possibility he will refuse to support the nominee if he is someone other than himself.

Refugee Finds Lost Daughter SAN FRANCISCO (AP)-A Santa Clara, woman has been reunited with the daughter she lost in Germany 27 years ago after escaping from a Nazi prison camp. The reunion came Saturday at San Francisco International Airport when Mrs.

Henry Morita met her daughter Elizabeth Bartfai. It was the 25th anniversary of Mrs. Morita's second marriage. Mrs. Bartfai, who now lives in Budapest, Hungary, was accompanied by her husband, Bela, an engineer.

The stage for the meeting was set a year ago when Mrs. Bartfai located her mother through an uncle in Yugoslavia. An exchange of letters followed and in December Mrs. Morita placed a telephone call to her daughter. The call cost $97 and "all we did was cry for five minutes," Mrs.

Morita said Saturday. Mrs. Morita gave birth to Elizabeth, who is now 27, while still a prisoner at a Nazi child labor center at Wiener Neustadt, Germany. Her first husband died earlier in a separate prison camp. When Nazi guards fled before advancing U.S.

and Russian troops, Mrs. Morita and Elizabeth escaped to the Danube River community of Passau, Germany, near the Austrian border. Mother and child became separated when Mrs. Morita was shot in both legs while foraging for food and clothing. The baby had been left in the care of fellow refugees and when Mrs.

Morita returned six weeks later, Elizabeth, then nine months old, and the friends had disappeared without a trace. Mrs. Morita married her present husband in Europe while he was serving with the U.S. military and then came to the U.S. in 1947.

RAIN and rain showers are in store for much of the southeast section of the country and the western Great Lakes region, Monday. Warm air will push north from the Gulf of Mexico while cool air will be dropping from the Northern Great Lakes. High temperatures are predicted throughout the country. (AP Wirephoto Map). Chance of Showers What McGovern did do in an interview on ABC's "Issues and Answers" and an impromptu news conference afterwards was repeatedly predict the convention in Miami Beach next week will be run according to the party's reform rules.

He said again he expects to win back the 151 California delegates that he lost in a Credentials Committee action last week and go on to win the nomination. McGovern has termed the committee's action "an incredible, cynical, rotten political steal." He said at the time that he "couldn't possibly support a convention that would sustain this kind of shabby, back-room dealing. I wouldn't have any part of any convention nominee who would support this." But Sunday McGovern refused to use language quite so threatening, saying "I would be inclined to support the nominee if he is supported by an honorable legal process according to the rules of our party. "I don't think there's going to be any third party. I never have." But McGovern would not rule out his own walkout or third-party move if the Credentials Committee were upheld by the full convention and he were to lose the nomination as a result.

"That's too iffy i question," he said at one point. "He's been a good chairman," McGovern said of O'Brien. "I think he's a fair man. I think he's one of the ablest men in our party. He's generally accepted by all elements in our party." McGovern said later that he had not had a chance to talk to O'Brien for several days "so I thought I might as well tell him on television.

This'll be a little surprise to formalize it." AFL-CIO leader Meany has remained officially uncommitted in the race for the Democratic nomination but is considered a supporter of Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota or Maine Sen. Edmund S. Muskie.

Asked if he would seek an accommodation with Meany, McGovern said "I'm going to see him if President Meany will see me I welcome and need his help." The body of the 233rd victim of the June 9 Rapid City, S.D. flood was found Saturday by searchers in the Keystone area.

Pakistan, India Sign Agreement SIMLA, India (AP) Prime Minister Indira Gandhi of India and President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of Pakistan signed an agreement early Monday calling for partial troop withdrawal all along their common border, including the explosive ceasefire line in Kashmir. The pact was signed at a hastily arranged ceremony nine hours before Bhutto was scheduled to return to Pakistan, culminating five days of tough summit bargaining in this Himalayan hill station resort.

Indian sources said other points of the agreement were renunciation of force to settle disputes and the settling of mutual problems bilaterally without calling in third parties.

Quote POTTSTOWN, Pa. (AP) Federal officials mopping up the oil-smeared banks of the Schuylkill River just north of Philadelphia were still undecided Sunday on how to get rid of what they predicted could be as much as 50,000 tons of sludge-soaked absorbent material. Peter Clapper, a spokesman for the Environmental Protection Agency, said the material had been spead along the river's banks over the weekend. But he said the officials are not yet sure how they will finally dispose of it once it has done its job of soaking up what officials have called the nation's worst inland oil spill in history. Rising flood waters from Tropical Storm Agnes lifted more than six million tons of oil sludge from the lagoo's of an oil reclamation plant.

The sludge now sits, thick and grimy, blackening plants and shrubs, and dripping from trees, all along a 16-mile stretch of the river. Clapper said federal state and local officials had given permission to burn the material, which is called "sorbent." He said that even though the proposed bonfire would not cause undue air pollution, officials feared a strong public reaction against it. The spokesman said a massive fan would be used to keep the level of smoke low and to foster complete combustion. "This is a tradeoff in which a serious water contamination problem is to be corrected at the cost of an acceptable amount of air pollution," Clapper said. "Whatever I might say about what the Republicans did, or what the Democrats did, or what the Humphreyites did or McGovernites did would be sure to offend some of our members Roy Wilkins of the NAACP Sunday.

Although accusing the Nixon administration of being unfriendly toward blacks, Wilkins said Sunday President Nixon will be tough to beat in the November election because of "fumbling in the Democratic party. However, the executive director of the civil riehts group would not specify who in the Democratic party was guilty of fumbling. And he said the NAACP, being nonpartisan, would not as an organization deliver its support to any candidate. 1.
