0 too it cliools use AiDBroves A iiHOB For By LEE LEONARD L'PI Statehouse Reporter COLUMBUS (UPI) The Ohio House Wednesday passed 63 to 35 and sent to the Senate a $91 million supplemental appropriations bill allocating $40 per pupil to each of Ohio's 613 public school districts. The Democratic-sponsored bill is expected to receive the same favorable treatment in the Senate early next week, but Republican Gov. James A. Rhodes, who has an alternative school financing proposal, may veto the measure. Democrats fearing a veto received a pleasing indication from the House vote.

Five Republicans crossed over to support the bill, but only one of the 59 Democrats bolted ranks. One Republican vote would be enough for Democrats to override a veto in the House. They already have the necessary 20 votes in the Senate. retirement money. "We are saying to the school districts, 'We have confidence in you; it's up to you to use this money frugally and Shoemaker said.

Rhodes has proposed furnishing a one-shot bonus of $650 paid directly to all school teachers, $300 to professional employes and $375 to noncerti-fied employes. The Democrats received a. boost for their plan Wednesday Rep. Myrl H. Shoemaker, D-Bourneville, chief sponsor of the bill, said it would furnish prompt state aid to a number of needy school districts.

Shoemaker said 83 school districts already have been forced to borrow money to operate, 107 more will have to borrow by March 1 and 37 others may need to borrow to make it through the school year. Still others, he said, may keep operating by using bond when the Ohio Education Association (OEA), representing some 90,000 public school teachers, said it would be quicker and fairer than Rhodes' proposal. Rhodes' plan was one of three Republican amendments offered and beaten back during the two-hour debate on the bill. It was tabled on a 57-38 party-line vote. House Minority Leader Charles F.

Kurfess, R-Bowling Speaker Vernal G. Riffe D-New Boston, and Senate President Pro Tempore Oliver Ocasek, D-Akron, had called for enactment of the Democratic bill on grounds it would provide immediate aid and local control by boards of education of how the money is to be spent. They also claimed it would be more equitable than Rhodes' proposal, which they said is based on the number of Green, proposed spending $100 million on public schools but not until the next fiscalyear, which begins July 1. That amendment was tabled on a 58-39 vote Rep. Donna Pope, R-Parma, proposed using the money for a 19 per cent personal income tax cut, which she said would amount to about $24 or $25 for every taxpayer in Ohio.

Thai amendment was tabled 56 to 40 Earlier in the day, Hous( teachers in a district rather than the number of pupils. The OEA said it favored the Democratic bill for the same reasons, adding that it trusts the bulk of the money will go for increasing teachers' salaries. "This is a giant leap forward in the wrong direction," countered Rep. Norman A. Mur-dock, R-C'incinnati, during the floor debate.

"Schools that don't need it will have money to spend, literally money to burn. "It's the old bushel basket theory," continued Murdock. "Throw money at them. It won't sove the problem, but it will keep them quiet. We can wait We should wait.

We could do a better job and nobody would be hurt." Republicans have argued against an across-the-board hike in the school subsidy on grounds it would make it more difficult to equalize aid when that problem is tackled later this year. Rocky Takes Aim utz Eases Restraint On Export Grain At The Congress to comment on the disclosure Tuesday by Sen. Barry Goldwa-ter (R-Ariz.) that Nixon has a "desire to get back into the political arena not as a candidate but as a party spokesman." Rockefeller said, "I'm not going to get involved in a party squabble we Republicans have all got to stick together there's few enough of us." But Rockefeller found himself in another party dispute here. The day before he arrived a Superior Court judge in Newark placed a freeze on the receipts from the $1,000 per person cocktail party the vice president attended. other feed grains Butz said they will be restudicd later as new figures come in on southern hemisphere harvests.

In allied developments, meanwhile, the Agriculture Department said in a report that the overall condition of 1975 winter grain crops in the northern hemisphere outside the United States appears "slightly below normal." But if U.S. winter wheat production lives up to its current record prospects, it could offset the decline in other areas. It was also learned Wednesday that the Soviet Union was seeking to cancel a relatively small 3.7 million bushel order for U.S. wheat and to replace it with an equivalent quantity of corn from next fall's harvest. The disclosure came after China had canceled a 22 million bushel S.

wheat order. Butz, in announcing easing of War Protesters Resume Bombing Cambridge Strike Progress Seen In OAPSE Talks MILLBURN, N.J. (UPI) -Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller said Wednesday that Congress was interfering with President Ford's worldwide peace efforts. "Increasingly, Congress has been participating in second guessing of negotiators," Rockefeller said in a speech strongly defending both the administration's position on aid to Vietnam and the trade bill recently attacked by the Soviet Union and Latin America.

Rockefeller said the United States had a "moral obligation" to keep helping South Vietnam. "I just want to get the message across," he said, "that if we don't (provide the aid) and the Communists take over, and there's a million people going to be liquidated. I think the poeple ought to know where the responsiblity lies." Rockefeller also criticized amendments which Congress added to the bill designed to improve trade with the Soviet Union. One, requiring an increase in emigration of Soviet Jews in exchange for favorable trade privileges, was rejected by the Russians. Another, intended to restrict trade with Arab oil producers, drew anger from Peru and Venezuela two South American countries who also belong to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.

"If the Secretary of State goes to the Middle East and isn't supported by Congress afterwards, the work of the President's emissary of peace is going to be jeopardized," said Rockefeller. Rockefeller was on a political swing through New Jersey. In Mbrristown, he avoided commenting on whether former President Richard M. Nixon should take an active role in Republican politics. "Let's not rake up the past," Rockefeller said as he arrived here for a fund raising dinner.

"This is a tragic case of where a man did many wonderful things but got involved in a situation which he said he was responsible for which contributed to the loss of confidence in government." Rockefeller made the remarks when asked by newsmen WASHINGTON (UPI) -Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz Wednesday relaxed government restraints on major export sales of wheat, soybeans, and soybean meal. Butz' order, effective immediately, doubles the amount of these products an exporter can sell without requesting advance Agriculture Department approval. The order followed several months of price declines for the commodities and strong clamor by farmer groups for complete elimination of export restrictions. At present, exporters voluntarily request prior approval on any sale of 50,000 tons or more daily or 100,000 tons and up for a single country in any week.

Under Butz' order, the prior approval system will apply to daily sales of 100,000 tons or more and weekly totals of 200,000. The daily-weekly limits will continue for the present for exports of corn and The Times Recorder THURS. JAN. 30, 1975 SECTION mmmmmmmmmmsmm statement which he said amounted to "libel." As the confirmation hearings ended after two and a half days, most committee members apparently supported Levi. There was no word on when the panel might vote and send the nomination along to the full Senate.

Another witness, Tony Chait-kin of the U. S. Labor Party, also based his opposition to Levi on his connection with Rockefeller. But whereas Rittenhouse called the vice president "a leftist," Chaitkin characterized him as "rightist." City Begins Buying Land For Park agreement with Downing Company was finalized yesterday. Participating in the transfer (from left) were Jack Downing, City Manager Frank Patrizio and City Solicitor John Roseberger.

The city intends to eventually acquire all the land along the river between Sixth Street Bridge and Jefferson street for the proposed park. Realization of a $150,000 riverfront park in Putnam area of the city by 1976 moved a step closer Wednesday with transfer of a portion of land required to the city. City Council last December authorized purchase of two parcels of land, located along Muskingum River between Sixth Street Bridge and Jefferson street, from Downing Company for $25,000.

By United Press International The "Weather Underground" has had some name changes over the years, but its tactics remain the same protest by bomb.

The radicals who claim responsibility for Wednesday's bombing of the State Department and for planting dynamite in an Oakland, induction center, started out as the Weathermen. The organization was formed on the wave of anti-Vietnam war violence in the late 1960s by radicals who broke with the Students for a Democratic Society. Like many radicals, they wanted a drastic change in the American political and economic system. But unlike most, they believed the time was ripe for bringing the revolution to the streets. The name Weatherman comes from a Bob Dylan song "Subterranean Homesick Blues," which contains the words: "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." "Bring the war Home," was one of their slogans.

Weathermen leaders went underground in 1969, splitting into isolated cells with no real headquarters. They set off bombs around the country, and gained a reputation for aimless Mrs. Higgs and James F. Moodie 23, of Steubenville, were both indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury on charges of aggravated murder in the baby's death. Moodie was also indicted on a charge of sexual imposition on the child.

Moodie was convicted in Jefferson County Common Pleas court last Nov. 30 on a lesser murder charge and on the morals charge. On Dec. 9, he was sentenced to prison but has requested a new trial. He is a half-brother of Mrs.

Higgs. Defense attorneys indicated, they plan to put Mrs. Higgs on the stand today to testify in her own behalf. Mrs. Higgs' trial was moved to Perry County due to pre-trial publicity in Jefferson County.

Retired CAMBRIDGE Negotiators reported "some progress" was made in all-day discussions Wednesday between representatives of the striking Cambridge chapter of Ohio Association of Public School Employes (OAPSE) and city board of education here. Negotiations are scheduled to resume at 9 a.m. today, according to Dr. James Clark, superintendent of city schools. Clark said schools would remain open today, "and there are no plans to present to close them." Approximately 40 to 50 teachers crossed the OAPSE picket lines Wednesday, Clark reported.

There are approximately 180 teachers in the school system. The strike of non-teaching employes, which enters it fourth day today, has been supported by Cambridge Education Association (CEA).

The city agreed to pay $36,000 for services the first year and $39,000 a second year, if an option is exercised to extend the contract.

This legislation became necessary Nov. 19 when a rental agreement for the former city-county landfill on Adamsville road was terminated, leaving the city without a landfill site. Kenneth Murphy, owner of the Adamsville road landfill, also rejected a $155,000 offer from county commissioners to purchase the site. Webb's landfill is located on County Road 6, near Five Mile Bridge. Conducted City officials Wednesday came to a tentative agreement with Webb landfill officials concerning a problem with an existing contract for landfill services, City Manager Frank Patrizio said.

Patrizio reports the agreement is expected to be finalized Friday. The city began dumping trash in a Perry County landfill Monday after the contract dispute surfaced last Friday. Patrizio said the problem concerns technical terms in contract language.
