Angry At Credentials Committee? Cook County Democrats Cancel Fund-Raising CHICAGO (AP) The Cook County Democratic Central Committee may be sitting on the sidelines this weekend as the party goes on nationwide television to solicit contributions to its campaign fund. The county organization canceled plans Thursday for installation of 175 telephones in the Sherman House hotel to take calls during tlie telethon scheduled to begin Saturday. James J. McDonough, Chicago's commissioner of streets and sanitation and one of the Democratic National Committee's 33 regional chairmen, said the cancellation came at the last minute. McDonough labeled as "speculative" the suggestion that Mayor Richard J.

Daley ordered the action because of his problems with the party's credentials committee which has unseated him and 58 other delegates. McDonough said he just had received no orders from the national level to continue with the plans. He said the mayor had not ordered a "no go." But then again, he had not said "go" either. A spokesman for the paign of Sen. George S.

McGovern said the national committee was aware of the problem but had not worked out a solution. A spokesman for the Illinois Bell Telephone Co. confirmed that McDonough had asked that the installation be held up. He said no plans were made to install the lines elsewhere. At the Sherman House, the niianagement had put up long narrow tables in a ballroom and the telephone master box was ready for the installation.

A spokesman for WLS-TV (Channel 7) in Chicago said that instructions for the national telethon arrived Thursday, but that there has been no cancellation of the Indiana and Illinois telephone numbers that were to be flashed on the screen at various intervals.

Ogilvie Thursday pledged he will not seek ifti increase in the state! income tax if he is elected to another four-year term The governor was interviewed on a panel show taped for Sun day broadcast by WICS-TV liere. Ogilvie said there are two passible sources of new federa revenue, either of which would provide enough money to make an income tax increase unnec They are, he said, fed eral welfare reform and federa welfare sharing.

Prospects for passage of revenue sharing, he said, "look very optimistic." If the program clears the U.S. house of representatives, it would provide Illinois "several hundreds of millions of dollars," with about half the total going to tlie general revenue fund, the Governor said. Tne "Percy for federal welfare reform which would freeze the states' portion of the welfare burden would provide about $300 million, Ogilvie said. Ogilvie admitted that expecting passage of both federal plans would be "looking on the optimistic side. But I'll go even I farther than that," he said.

"If neither of those plans passes, the state will pull in its belt and we will live within our means." At Peoria IRS Is After Rock Festival Organizer PEORIA, 111. (AP) The Internal Revenue Service has indicated it is seeking more than a halt million dollars in taxes from rock festival organizer Herschel Tucker but Tucker says he owes the IRS nothing. Tucker, organizer of a rock festival that was banned in Peoria County before being held July 3 near Streator in LaSalle County, said Thursday that he lost money on the venture. Martin Janes, director of the IRS office in Peoria, said he talked with Tucker about taxes during the last week but de clined further comment. Reporters, however, viewed tax levy forms at stores which sold tickets for the rock fest which indicated the IRS is seeking $585,637 in personal, entertainment and business in come taxes from Tucker.

Some store owners said IRS agents seized the ticket money from them. "They (the fans) got a rock festival, but it wasn't mine," Tucker said. "I don't know how much money I lost, but it was quite a bit." He said that about 20,000 tickets were sold. At $8 a ticket, the festival would have brought in about $160,000.
