Knowles Pledges to Defend Budget How to Raise New Taxes Big Issue, He Says 15 Lives Lost in Weekend Road Crashes State's Traffic Toll Hits 314; 365 Year Ago (By Th Associated Prtss) Fifteen persons died in accidents on Wisconsin highways during the weekend as the ttate'a traffic tail for the vear DTOG1 Helps Form Barricade in Front ot Bus Group Protests Transferring of Negro Children MILWAUKEE (AP) A state HURLEY (AP) About 250 men set out to paint the town today by daylight. Squads of volunteers stroked cream, grey and white paint on about 17 homes and other build ings as the start of a 90-day pro ject to retouch the face of this 80-year-old city. Hurley, a state-line town with tawdry past, launched the drive to dress up its appear ance and redirect its siren song toward industry. Paint Donated About 2,000 gallons of paint and equipment, donated by the Wisconsin Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association, will be given to owners of 602 of the city's 790 homes in the next three months.

Volunteers began today by painting town eyesores, service club buildings, and homes of persons who are blind or other wise unable to do the work themselves. Gov. Warren P. Knowles was scheduled to visit Hurley to add the state's blessing to the pro ject. A parade kicked off the painting pageant.

Some of Hurley's streets, un Brazilian Heads Peace Command swept for 18 yean, were cleaned last week and again to day. The Hurley Garden Club placed flower containers and plants along Silver the tar- nished-looking main thorough fare. Beset by unemployment. Hur ley suffers a lack of local in dustry and its condition deteri orated with recent closing of the 250-worker Cary iron mine. But a Milwaukee electronics firm, to employ about 14 per sons, has already decided to build at Hurley.

Sliver of Sin The city of 2,500, on the Mlchi- igan state line opposed Iron- wood, has long been a mecca for midnight revelers, formerly in the mining era and more recently in hunting and fishing seasons. Mayor Paul Santini expressed optimism, however, that the past would not leave an indelible scar as a barrier to new industry. "We all have to live with our past history," he said, "but we can do much to improve our selves. If there is sin here, it is hardly more than a sliver and some day that will be gone." Brig. Gen.

Antonio Imbert Bar- rera, had agreed not to open fire unless attacked. The cease-fire seemed to be working, and Sunday was one of the quietest days in Santo Dora ingo since the outbreak of the revolt that toppled the govern ment of Donald Reid Cabral War in Politics The military situation reached a stalemate last week after jun ta troops broke rebel resistance in the city's northern suburbs. This left the rebels in control of a downtown area 12 city blocks long and 8 blocks wide cordoned off by U.S. troops. The United btates has ordered its troops not to allow either side across its lines.

"The military civil war Is over," said one diplomat here, "but the civil war will continue in politics." Imbert said in a radio speech that the rebels were facing "rapid exhaustion." U.S. and OAS negotiators were still trying to get agreement from the rebel and junta leaders for a government repre senting all political factions ex cept Communists and right-wing extremists. iwIjmi SOVIET'S 'OLDEST' MAN Muslimov, described as the oldest man, celebrated his Sunday, according to Tass, Agency.

Knowles said today he thought the main difficulties in reaching a fiscal settlement would be on how to raise new taxes, not how much to spend. He repeated his offer to sit down and discuss differences with legislators of both parties because "it appears to me to be the thing that has to be done." He also said a combination budget-tax bill was the "respon sible way" to settle the fiscal problems.

"I support my budget," Knowles told a news conference. "I also know there are going to be areas of differences. But they are not in agreeing on a budget, but on how to finance it." Against Salary Cut When asked about the Senate Republican budget proposal which lowered the Joint Fiance Committee recommendations by more than $20 million, he said he supported the reduction of property tax relief for the aged. But he said he didn't want salaries of university faculties "cut to the point where it is going to hurt the universities." "I want to obtain a competi tive salary scale with our neigh boring states," he said. The Republican governor also said a fair housing bill intro duced in the Assembly last week with bipartisan sponsorship has his "wholehearted support." "It is a responsible and realistic approach which incopo- rates features that will be ac ceptable to a majority of legis lators," be said.

He added that the bill should have the support of "all organ izations that want to move ahead in fair housing." The bill would outlaw the dis crimination in selling, renting and leasing of housing, but would exempt private homes, rooimng.houses, jndpartmentsJ with less than four An equal opportunities agency cre ated within the Industrial Com mission would enforce tne pro visions.

Bennett, head of California's Public Utilities Commission, suggested that tax incentives be provided to produce a nationwide system of underground utilities. If the government can spend an estimated $2 billion a year on depletion allowances to spur the search for oil and gas, he sug- gested the same thing might be done to help pay the cost of put ting unsightly power lines un derground. There were similar tax-incen tive suggestions to hasten the flow of abandoned automobiles to the new giant crushing and grinding machines.

White took part. The government contended the law served two basic pur poses: It protected American citizens, especially those of re cent foreign origin, from ha rassment; it denied foreign powers the service of having the United States deliver their propaganda to people who did not want it. Contradictory The law was attacked as con tradictory to a free and open society and as an unwarranted invasion of privacy. The law provided that mailed matter except sealed letters that originated in a foreign country and was determined bv tne secretary of the treasury to De communist political propa ganda was to be held up by the postmaster general With certain exceptions this mail could be delivered onlv upon the addressee's reouest. If there was nor equest the mail was destroyed.

Douglas said thee ourt had to conclude "that the act as con strued and applied is unconsti tutional because it requires an official act (viz. returning a reply card) as a limitation on the unfettered exercise of the ad dressee's First Amendment right," Unconstitutional Douglas said the court had rested its decision "on the nar row ground that the addressee in order to receive his mall must request in writing that it; be delivered. "This amounts in our judg ment to an unconstitutional abridgement of the addressee's First Amendment rights." he said. "The addressee carries an affirmative obligation which we do not think the government may impose on htm. The re quirement is almost certain to nave a deterrent effect, espe cially as respects those who have sensitive positions.
