Wendell Ford gave the first inkling today of what he allied the alarming impact'on Kentucky of President JNixon's proposed budget cuts. most drastic reductions appeared to be in the field of education.

Ford spelled out some slashes in a speech released at Frank- fort and prepared for delivery at Washington before the Senate Government Operations Committee's subcommittee on Intergovernmental Relations. The National Governors' Con- ference is being held at Wash- ington. Although Ford listed a num- ber of programs he said would be affected under the Nixon budget, he said there is no way to determine the full impact yet. "Many changes require sub- stantive legislation which has not yet been submitted to the Congress," he said. "Also, pro- grams which are scheduled for a $500 million cutback in fiscal 1974 cannot be adequately analyzed because the proposed budget does not indicate project priorities." Ford charged the Nixon budget is and lacks "compassion for the people," that it will result in in- creased taxes and that it rejects "an orderly transition of federal responsibilities to state and local levels of government." In an addition to his speech he outlined the Kentucky pros- pects.

The governor said: --The termination of the Hill- Burl un hospital construction aid program will cost Kentucky an estimated $6.8 million next year in needed health facilities. --The elimination of eligibil- ity of adults for dental services under medicaid will mean a $243,000 loss in aid. --The omission of federal support for immuhication against measles and polio means about 150,000 Kentucky children will not receive such services next year. As the abo- lition of programs for aid for school libraries, textbooks, au- diovisual aids and laboratory remodeling will mean a $2.9 million loss. --Abolition of a federal sub- sidy to school districts for non- military employes with children who live on private property will cost Kentucky schools $3.5 million.

--Elimination of federal aid for public, local school and col- lege libraries will cost the state $2.4 million. --The stale will absorb un- determined, but drastic cuts in education revenue sharing. --There will be a potential deficit of more than $17 million in student aid funds made available through public and private colleges. --Public universities stand to lose more than $750,000 in nurse Home Rule Act Faces Opposition By SY RAMSEY Associated Press Writer FRANKFORT, Ky The running debate over the new home rule statute has come up before legislative com- mittee, with Jefferson County Judge Todd Hollenbach DENVER PARTIN Partin Will Hold Easter Seal Post Denver Partin has been named Whitley County chair- man for the 1973 Easter Seal Campaign which will begin March 1 and continue through Easter Sunday, April 22. In making the announcement, state campaign chairman Thomas "Tommy" Bell said that contributions to the campaign, which is sponsored by the Kentucky Easter Seal Society for Crippled Children and Adults, will help provide rehabilitation services for physically handicapped Ken- tuckians throughout the state.

The needs are greater than ever, he added. Partin, who calls himself "a firm Whitley countian," was born and reared on a farm near where he now lives at Louden. During World War II, he served in the U. S. Air Force as HigNt chief in North Africa, Sicily, Italy and France.

After the war he attended Cumberland College at Williamsburg and received his bachelor's degree from Union College at Barbourville. He received his M.A Degree in administration and supervision from Eastern Kentucky University. He taught commerce at Pleasant View High School for seven years, served as finance officer for the Whitley County Board of Education for eight years and has served as Superintendent of Whitley County Schools since July, im. Partin, whose wife, Marjorie, teaches English at Whitley County High School, hat nrved as Easter Seal Chairman for Whitley County since 1WT. adopting a moderate stance.

Hollenbach said that although his county, has power to pass some basic legislation for both Louisville and the county, he does not want to assume au- thority behind that stage. He also had a new suggestion for the lawmakers--that they should permit the county to ex- pand the base of its government to get closer to the people. Hollenbach said perhaps the county should operate with eight commissioners--one elected from each senatorial districts. The government now consists of the county judge and three commissioners. Hollenbach quietly launched into an assessment on the meaning and application of the 1972 home rule act, which Louisville and Jefferson County have been squabbling.

One side says the county has complete domination over all of Louisville as well as some 70 satellite communities. The oth- er contends' the bills simply gave Louisville and the county equal power to govern them- selves. Hollenbach aired a moderate view, declaring it is not his in- tent or thought that county home rule would give counties the power to nominate cities. But, he added, some problems can be solved only on a couhtywide basis--such as environmental control, social welfare, corrections and police protection.

"The impact on Kentucky is alarming to those of us who are trying to educate children, who are trying to provide sufficient medical care to who are trying to make life better for the Mind, disabled and el- derly," Ford said in his pre- pared speech. "The impact is alarming to those of us who recognize the critical need for vocational training, for industrial develop- ment."

Milwaukee Road Wins Its Dispute With LN LOUISVILLE, Trains of The Milwaukee Road will extend service to Louisville Thursday, Board Chairman William J. Qitinn announced in Chicago, in line with a federal denial Monday of a Louisville Nashville Railroad application seeking to deny the other rail- road access to its tracks. A three-judge federal panel denied fc N's application for a preliminary injunction to set aside an Interstate Commerce Commission order allowing two railroads to link up in Louisville in competition with 4 N. The two railroads are the Chicago, Milwaukee, St.

Paul and Pacific Railroad Co. (The Milwaukee Road), and the Southern Railway. The Milwaukee Road readies from port cities in Washington and Oregon to Minneapolis-Si. Paul; Milwaukee, Chicago, Omaha and Kansas City. The Southern Railway serves the Southern and Southeastern United States.

Certain terms under which The Milwaukee Road will oper- ate over tracks and those of the Kentucky Indiana Terminal Railroad remain to be decided by the court The legal fray dates back to the N's acquisition of the Motion Railroad Co, which served Louisville, Indianapolis and Chicago. In 1968, when the asked the ICC's permission to acquire the Monon, the Milwaukee intervened. The Milwaukee asked that it be allowed to use the tracks from Bedford, to New Albany, and IT tracks from New Albany to Louisville, where it could join with the Southern Railway. The ft is a one-third owner of the IT. An ft attorney, Fred Bir- kholz, has said the ICC ap- proved the Milwaukee's request on the condition that the Mil- waukee purchase a one-fourth interest in the ft Tt.

The Milwaukee did not pur- chase the one-fourth interest. Instead, it asked the ICC to or- der the ft to permit the Milwaukee to operate over the ft IT tracks as a tenant rather than an owner, a request ap- proved by the ICC. The argues that by not living up to the original condi- tion of buying one-fourth of the IT, the Milwaukee is vio- lating the terms of the entire agreement. ICC attorney Raymond M. Zimmet dismissed the ft argument Monday as "foolish- ness," saying the ft was involved in "sleight-of-hand, le- galistic argument" aimed at covering "the fact that it is trying to stifle He said "the critical point" of the ICC, "the real object, has always been to start com- petition against the 1st Christian Choir Cancels Practice The choir of First Christian church will not hold a practice session Wednesday night, Director Loren Hooker an- nounced.

By GKORGE ESPER Associated Press Writer SAIGON (AP) The United States called on North Vietnam and, the Viet Cong today to go immedSatdy with lease of U.S: prisoners of war- North Vietnahi announced earlier today that it was-sus- pending the release of Ameri- can POWs until the United Stales and South Vietnam hon- ored all parts of the cease-fire agreement. Bui Tin, the spokesman for the North Vietnamese delega- tion in Saigon, indicated that the Communists particularly wanted the release of civilian prisoners held by the South Vietnamese and an end to ha- rassment of the North Vietna- mese and Viet Cong members of the Joint Military Commission. The U.S. delegation to the commission said the 'North Vietnamese had told it "the ob- stacle to the release of POWs on time is a technical one related to the availability of flights between Saigon and Hanoi." The North Vietnamese and Viet Cong have released 163 American prisoners, but 422 others are still captives in North and South Vietnam and Laos.

The United States had expected about iw to be released today, the halfway point between the cease-fire Jan. a and the March deadline for release of all American POWs and with- drawal of all American forces from Vietnam. A four-page statement from the U. S. delegation called on North Vietnam and the Viet Cong's Provisional Revolution- ary Government "to implement the obligations they have ac- cepted in the Paris agreement and protocols and to take im- mediate action to fulfill their commitment to release U.S.

POWs in accordance with the withdrawal rate of US. and free world forces. "This withdrawal has now reached over SO per cent of which were in on when the agreement came into effect. It is time for the Demo- cratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Government delegations to ful- fill their commitment to release U.S. POWs." The US.

This year, for the first time, the FAA is requiring that air- carrier airports be certified, and wilt forbid commercial air- liners from landing at airports without certification. Certification will require that airports have crash and fire rescue equipment and crews with the amount and type of equipment to depend on the, number and size of aircraft that use the field. Airports also will be faced with new FAA security require-' menls, including fences and guards. The London-Corbin has told the FAA it will meet the May 21 deadline, but the other five air-carrier airports in.the slate have asked that the deadline be extended.

CtMa and ettt Deaths Mary BswMa By BILL NEIKIRK Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The Nixon administration has sig- naled more-flexible enforce- ment of its 5.5-per-cent wage guideline during this year's heavy calendar of labor nego- tiations. The White House announced Monday that, white the S.S-per- cent standard will remain on the books, it also wiO use as a wage-behavior guide a broadly worded statement issued by an advisory panel of top labor and butiiMM leaders. Nowhere in the statement was there any mention of 5.5 per cent as a standard for pay in- this year.

The Labor-Management Advisory a 10- member panel that includes AFL-CIO President George' Meany, called for the average rale of pay this year to be "consistent with the goal set by the President of getting the rate of inflation down to 2.5 per cent or less by the end of the years" The panel added that. no single standard wage settle- ment "can be equally appli- cable at one time to all parties in an economy to Urge, de- centralized and dynamic." Treasury Secretary George P. Shulu and John Dunlop, di- rector of the Cost of Living Council, praised the panel's work but denied it meant an end to the 5.5-per-cent standard. Shultz said in an interview that he regards the committee's carefully worded document as "a very strong statement." He said the government will use it as a basic glide in looking at wage contracts this year. But neither Shultz nor Dunlop would give much detail on now the administration would use the committee's statement in conjunction with the 5.5 stand- ard in enforcing wsge controls this year.

Dunlop said there had always been flexibility in administering wage controls, noting that some boosts during the past year topped 7 per cent while others were below 5 per cent. He said the administration would be no more flexible in Phase 3 than it was in Phase 2. In Miami Beach, Meany said he was not surprised at the ad- ministration's decision to retain the 5.5-per-cent standard. But the vetm-an. tabor leader added, "We eventually hope to get away from the ceiling.

If we're going to have figure, it should be par cent or per cent." The fact that Meany dM not denounce the administration's decision to stay with the stand- ard, added credence to reports of greater enforcement flexibil- ity- The advisory committee said i recognizes food price spiral as a major problem to economic StabiUzation "and to responsible collective bergahv ing in the year ahead."
