(AP Photo) Rainy, Cool June Cuts Pool Receipts ready to write off June as a loss and are now looking to July for hot days and increased receipts. Last year all the YMCA operated pools except Fordhill Pool, ended the summer with better than break even income.

The city's Liberty Park Pool fell short of breaking even with a $300 deficit. According to Burton, Liberty Park Pool will not even come close to breaking even this year unless someone turns on the heat. Operators of all Mansfield area pools go into the summer hoping to find the mercury above the 70-degree mark and the sun shining for about half the total number of swimming days. Since opening clay, Mansfield pools have been getting only half of what was expected, or one in four days of good swimming weather. al Assembly, also would lessen the department's enforcement problems.

"About 40 per cent of all our enforcement problems concern underage drinking," said department public relations director Allen Honigberg. On the election day liquor ban, Rose noted people no longer try to buy votes with liquor. "Nowdays, if anyone's going to buy votes, it won't be with liquor," he said. Rose said the committee is continuing to work on preparing a package of recommended changes for the General Assembly next January. Other changes the committee is considering, he said, include: Revising the system of issuing permits for bars, removing the quota system based on population and giving the department director greater power to deny permits.

Allowing Ohioans to import wines from abroad. They already can import whisky and beer. Allowing holders of liquor selling permits to hold promotional programs in honor of anniversaries, grand openings or civic events. Meanwhile, the department is sponsoring elementary and secondary -level school lectures to tell students why people drink and the dangers of alcoholism. "We've abandoned the old 'don't drink you'll go to jail' routine," said Honigberg, "because kids today don't seem to take threats." The department continues to look for illegal stills that cheat federal, state and local governments out of an estimated $506 million in taxes each year.

In addition to tax losses, the health risk in drinking moonshine is a reason for cracking down on bootleggers. "Ninety per cent of moonshine contains lead salts some enough to kill or blind you after one drink," Honigberg said. Press Not Exempt WASHINGTON (UPI) The Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 today that the First Amendment does not exempt newsmen from the obligation to respond to a grand jury subpena in a criminal investigation. The opinion by Justice Byron R. White came" in three test cases from California, Kentucky and Massachusetts.

The conflict between a grand jury's subpoena power and the guarantee of a free press had never before been presented to the Court. Cuts Likely In the three years since the Nixon administration started pulling out U. S. servicemen from Vietnam, it has steadily trimmed the American presence of 543,400. However, since last February and the onset of North Vietnam's big offensive, Nixon has ordered thousands of U.

S. fighting men, warships and war-planes back into the Southeast Asia area. The concentration of U. S. airpower in Thailand has raised the number of American servicemen in that country from 32.000 to about 45,000 and reinforcements of the U.

S. 7th Fleet in Vietnamese waters has boosted naval manpower there from 13,000 in January to about 42,000 now. In order to meet the immediate troop reduction goal of 49,000 by July 1, the Pentagon shifted seven squadrons of Air Force and Marine F4 Phantom fighter bombers to Thailand in recent weeks. Two additional bases in Thailand had to be reopened to accommodate the planes. There, though free of the danger of ground attack, these air crewmen and ground personnel still are in the Southeast Asia air war.

COLUMBUS (AP) A committee that is examining Ohio's 39 year old Liquor Control Act has agreed to recommend that 18 year olds be permitted to buy liquor and that the ban on election day sales be repealed.

B'red Rose, counsel in the Liquor Department and executive secretary of the study committee, said the group believes 18 year olds "are for-many purposes adults already." Many Won't Pay Ohio Income Tax By DAVID TOMLIN COLUMBUS (AP) An undetermined number of Ohioans are refusing to pay the new state income tax in the belief that a majority of their fellow citizens will vote the tax outof'exis-tence in November. A Department of Taxation spokesman said some of the professed tax delinquents are elderly persons who probably wouldn't owe much tax. But director Robert Kosydar said Wednesday that many others are doctors and "even more accountants, who should know better." Most working people in Ohio have their state income tax withheld from their paychecks and therefore have no choice in whether or not to pay it. But many are either self-employed or work in jobs where their income is not subject to withholding. These persons are required to file quarterly declarations of their estimated income and make installment payments toward their tax liability.

Kosydar said most of those who refusing to pay seem to fall into this category. He said refusing to pay the tax just because it might be repealed by the voters in November is fruitless, because all taxpayers will be liable for income tax in 1972, regardless of what happens to the tax next year. A movement is under way to put the income tax issue on the November ballot, but petitions now being circulated by anti-tax forces call for repealing the tax Jan. 1, 1973. Taxpayers with incomes not subject to withholding were supposed to submit their first quarterly statements and tax installments by April 15.

Only about half the expected number did, and Kosydar extended the deadline until June 15 and initiated a "taxpayer education" program to alert Ohioans.

Road Laborers' Strike Hits Jobs In City, County (Continued From Page 1) earlier this week, Mansfield Asphalt Paving contractor on the project, attempted to get all traffic lanes open. Richard R. Stander president of Mansfield Asphalt, said today the union decided to strike the project before the company was able to complete re- pair work and open all traffic lanes.

Stander said only one traffic lane is open on the eastboiind side of the Ex- pressway in the vicinity of Bowman St. A spokesman for the State Highway Department's Division 3 in Ashland said, as of this morning, eight of 17 highway projects in an eight county area around Mansfield have been struck. More projects in the area may be closed down by the weekend. Other major jobs scheduled to begin soon in Mansfield and Richland Coun ty which apparently will be delayed by the strike are the widening to four lanes of Lexington Springmill Rd. from West Fourth St.

to State Route 39; the widening to four lanes of West Fourth St. in Ontario between Home Rd. and the Expressway bridge; and two resurfacing jobs on Interstate Highway 71 in Richland County. A major improvement of Claremont Ave. in Ashland now faces a delay in starting.

The union struck after representatives of locals voted to reject the association's latest contract offer. The major stumbling block reportedly concerns the shifting of workers from one job to another. A I. A if Even when the swimmers are missing, pools operate on the same budget as when the water is packed with wet bodies. The water has to be circulated, filtered and chemically treated and the pool personnel are still paid.

According to Mansfield, YMCA pools have experienced additional overhead costs because of increased vandalism during the slack periods. In order to have a financially successful year, Mansfield cites $10,000 as the figure which will pay all costs plus give the some additional money for opening pools in the spring. To come close to that figure, Mansfield said he needs good weather on 75 per cent of the remaining swimming days. "Right now I'd have to admit that I'm not feeling too secure about the weather," Mansfield said. 50 per cent of his regular pay with a maximum of $57 (previously $55).

The Ohio Brass Co. is on strike. Employes at the Tappan Corp. will be getting a four-day holiday. Under terms of a union contract, the Tappan workers get Monday off.

The contract terms call for the day to be made up at a later date. As is the case with all holidays, there are the gloomy estimates of how many people will die on the highways. The Ohio Highway Safety Department predicts 39 persons will be killed in tratfic accidents in the Buckeye State between 6 p.m. Friday and midnight on Tuesday. Nationally, the prediction is between 800 and 900 persons will die on the highways during the 102-hour stretch.

Members of the Mansfield post of the Highway Patrol, the Mansfield Police Department and Richland County Sheriff's Department will be out enforce during the holiday period, with no mercy given to traffic violators, particularly those motorists who drive drunk. Pot-Possession Charge Dropped A felony charge for possession of marijuana, second offense, was thrown out of court yesterday by Judge Jerry Rader in Mansfield Municipal Court, The affidavit charging Vivian Lucille Kent, 33, of 208 Coul was ruled invalid on an technicality.

By brucp: ESTES Hot summer days mean swimming pools packed with squealing kids, but rainy, cold days like those on last week's calendar in Mansfield mean no kids, no squeals and no money for the pools. According to Harold Mansfield, YMCA general secretary, what the seven YMCA operated pools could use is a 20 to 30 day heat wave. Both Mansfield and Frank Burton, supervisor of city parks, agree that June is the month when pools make money. However the recent weather has dampened their hopes for this June and caused both to worry about their budgets.

Mansfield estimates the pools income is about 50 per cent behind what it was last year at this time. This is a crucial pinch, Mansfield explained, because June produces about 50 per cent of the pools' summer income. Although unable to pinpoint figures, Burton said Liberty Park Pool has been closed as much as it has been open so far and receipts "are way behind." Both Burton and Mansfield are Death Penalty Struck Down (Continued From Page 1) electrocutions and hangings. But it would have wiped out the most consistent argument against capital punishment that it is too cruel to be constitutional. The three cases before the court involved William H.

Furman, convicted of murdering a Savannah, man during a household burglary; Lucious Jackson convicted of rape also in Chatham County, and Elmer Branch, convicted of rape in Wilbarger County, Tex. Both rape victims are while. All three inmates whose appeals are before the court are black. The death penalty is legal in 39 states and the District of Columbia, but eight of these have no prisoners condemned to execution. Of the 600, all but two are men.

The women under death sentences are Marie Dean Ar-rington of Flqrida and Marylin Dobro-lenski of Pennsylvania. Of the 600, a total of 517 were convicted of murder, 79 of rape and four of armed robbery. There are 329 blacks, 257 whites and 14 of other racial and ethnic backgrounds. A year ago the court rejected. 6 to 3 challenges to death penalty procedures.

The ruling said that leaving to the jury's discretion the power to decide between life and death in capital cases does not violate the Constitution. Secondly, the court held then, the Constitution does not require separating the penalty phase of capital trials from the body of the trial. versy despite the spotlight attention given California. Hawaii, for example, was targeted for a McGovern blitz designed to increase representation of women, who now occupy four of the state's convention seats. McGovern's California challengers were asking for 151 of his 271 delegates.

They claim the state's winner -take all primary disenfranchised the 55 per cent of the electorate which voted against him. Moreover, they contend that the primary' violated at least in spirit a prohibition by McGovern's own reform commission against a unit rule. Humphrey has said the challenge is vital to party unity. Invoking the memory of 1968, he commented to panel members that "I above all other men, know the dangers that a presidential A $2 to $3 per week boost in unemployment compensation claims checks will go into effect Monday in Ohio. The hike, which represents a 3.4 per cent increase in compensation pay-' menls as a result of an increase in the cost of living, was announced today by William Games, administrator of the Bureau of Employment Services in Columbus.

Ohio is the first state to write an automatic cost of living provision into its unemployment compensation law, Games said. The law, passed last year, boosted benefits 20 per cent across the board. Garncs said the increase which becomes effective for new applicants Monday resulted from an April calculation by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics which set the cost of living increase at 3.4 per cent for the preceding 12 months.

New applications for jobless pay now average 8,500 a week in Ohio, Games said. Last week, the total num ber on the rolls was 54.458. Officials of the Mansfield OBES office, which serves Ashland and Richland counties, reported a total of 1.146 claims currently filed.

McGovern forces predicted the committee's California decision would have strong impact on another controversial case that against Mayor Richard Daley and 58 other uncommitted delegates from Chicago. "If we win California." said one high McGovern official. "I would think Daley will find his position untenable and will want to do some negotiating." Daley's delegates are being contested on grounds Ihey under represent women, youth and blacks and were elected through unfair campaign practices. The challengers include several McGovern supporters in Illinois, although the candidate himself has yet to take a firm position. California Delegate Ruling Due Today WASHINGTON (AP) George McGovern's hope for a first ballot presidential nomination lay precariously in the hands of the Democratic Credentials Committee today, as the panel neared a decision over the challenge to his 271 delegates from California.

Despite furious lobbying throughout the night and morning, McGovern strategists conceded the vote, expected about noon, could be "very, very close." A spokesman for Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, one of four contenders attempting to slash McGovern's California strength by more than half, agreed the battle was nip and tuck. Also on the agenda of the 150-mem-ber committee were delegate disputes from Hawaii, Missouri and Tennessee, each a matter of considerable contro.
