"I'm delighted that Shriver has been named," said Duller County Democratic Party chief David Smith of Middlclown. "1 not only an excellent man but he's very well liked by everybody." "I don't think it (the dropping of Eagleton) hurt anything. It would have had it lasted much longer.

This is the time you spend to get your campaign going anyway," Smith mused. Vice chairman A. Dan Hamilton, breathing a sigh of relief that the ticket has.finaily been settled, said he believes "Shriver will jidd strength to the ticket." "It's a good ticket; I hope it worksout fine." Congressional candidate James Ruppert, Franklin, for whom Shriver spoke in 1970, said he finds the new Vice i i a nominee "very impressive" and adds "lie's probably going to help." i i Eight McGovern a a i manager a i Shrivcr's good media image is only half of what he offers the ticket.

By ERCEL EATON Journal News Writer "There I was trying to keep the hand crank going with one hand and dial the telephone with the other," said Mrs. Ray Hinkel. She was explaining her fright during the recent thunderstorm which knocked out an electric transformer near the Hinkel home while her husband was undergoing dialysis on a kidney machine.

Hinkel, who was bom with only one kidney, had lost the kidney because of cancer last and has been undergoing the dialysis treat- ment three times a week, six hours at time. On the day of the storm his "run" was scheduled to end at 6 m.Thestormstruckat4. "It was pitch black in here," Hinkel said, "and I.can't afford to lose the pint of blood that is in the machine at any given time while I'm on it." A pint of blood circulates through the cleansing processes of the machine, reentering the body in a purified form. The danger of i or stopping the machine was that of clotting and the subsequent loss of the blood outside the body. With his free hand Hinkel held a flashlight on the telephone number of the Williamsdale Fire.Department, while Mrs.

Hinkel cranked the machine with her right hand and dialed with her left. That was a tot of (there is quite a distance between the machine's crank and the telephone). i a i Bubemyre, James Brown and a Hobbs carrie i a a lo keep the machine operating, she said. "We' just can't enough." The department has a portable generator installed in a jeep.

Specializing in corporate Ihe Ohio Council of Kelall Clerks, indicated vigorously his organization will baltie Ihe Senate version. "We have been for the House version," said Kadlec, "II docs not accelerate as far or as quickly." He labeled the Senate bill "Inflationary" and said it would hurt "Main Street" business. Several other opponents of the Senate bill claim it will hurt the teenagers' chances of rising from the job doldrums.

Give the teenager the minimum wage and the employer will not be able to afford him, they contend. William Sheehan, executive secretary of the Cincinnati council, disagreed pointedly and firmly. "We had pushed for a $2.50 minimum wage all along," he affirmed, "The Senate bill itself is only a compromise. But we will accept it." "If a job is worth doing at all, it should offer a i i wage, no matter what," he argues, "And every job should offer and provide a decenl standard of living." He calls the House's aid to a i a i a deceptive. "If a teenager will work for less than the minimum wage, why should an employer hire an adult for $2.207 It's the breadwinners who will suffer if the House version goes through.

The employers aren't going to make work for teenagers just (o be charitable," he continued. Nettie Manley, public information director of the Ohio Bureau of Employment, said the minimum wage in either version will have little or no effect on job hunting for her agency. "We deal in referring applicants with proper skills lo Ihc proper employers, not in salaries." How it will affect business on High rather than Main Hamilton's last baslion of small and independent businesses depends, logically'enough, on whether the particular business makes more than $250,000 a year. A random sampling by the Journal News indicated the wage increase may have less effect -than anticipated. Only one major department store said the proposed wage hike would hurt.

A a great deal ol indecision as to jusl who would make the "official" comment, Ihe store spokesman concluded the new minimum wage would raise retail prices. Mrs. Murphy Services for Mrs. Agnes M. Murphy, 70, 1302 Dayton who died Saturday morning in Mercy Hospital will be nl 2p.m.

m. "The $2,20 minimum wage would raise our payroll co-sis ten to 15 per cent, and that's inflation," said the spokesman, "Where else could the cost be passed on bill in prices?" Most restaurants in the chain store calagory said the proposed Increase would not affect prices of food, but would in a cases in employment ait-backs and just a i longer hours for the owners. A major chain drug outlet i i a the a i i a prices and refused further comment, as did all other drug chains contacted, Most small and Independent druggists were anything but a i and man took Ihe opportunity to vent their dislike and distrust for the larger chains. Most of the druggists employ about five persons, including one or two pharmacists. Most said about 60 per cent of small drug stores would be exempt from the minimum wage law, making under $250,000 a year.

One East Ave, pharmisl said he would count his blessings and be glad he was exempt, In most cases, he said, any higher wages would simply drive a i i i druggists out of business, "How can we compete now, even without a $2,20 minimum? The large chains arc selling at retail cheaper than we can buy wholesale," he said. "There would be no possible way to get profits up enough to pay more wages." Another long established druggist agreed that independents are hard pressed to compete, but emphasized hat peopl will "always get what they pay for, even in drugs." He said a small druggist would have to make over $350,000 in a year to recoup wage hikes," and that doesn't happen too often." Nearly all druggists contacted already pay on or near the proposed i i wage. "You'll find most of us pay around $2 an hour right now." said one. Most gas stations in the Hamilton and southwestern Ohio area are also exempt under the proposal. One said he could never get "bigenough" to pay the $2,20 minimum.

"We just wouldn't be competitive," he said. "Customers can't understand why we can't pay more than $1.60 or so. (most gas stations pay the present minimum wage, barely) They think we should be able to pay more but we can't do it. And that is true for all oorner businesses." Mike Kuhnen, head of the Greater Cincinnati Gasoline Dealers Association, echoed the thoughts. "We would like to be able to pay a man $100 or $120 a week.

That's a decent living a minimum is about all we can pay, even though we don't have to." "A guy can't make a good living working for us, so we have to hire kids in high We have to pay the mechanics at least $2 to $2.50 an because they are skilled. That; in itself cuts down our profit margin." Kunnen said most stations in- Ihe association employ about' two persons, some as many as ten. He said very few would covered or make over $250,00 in- a year. Mel Schaengold, president of; Downtown Area Retail Enterprises (Dare) said at least a i organization in Hamilton would be covered by the Senate ver- i i passed. a businesses may be hurt, he added, since wage increases will be necessary to compete with the larger slorc.s.

He believes prices would nol be grcnllv affected by passage of the bill as mosl slorcs are paying ticnr the minimum wage now He added the House's $2 i i a would require less adjustment. A High St. jeweler and local bakery supported Schncngold's Ihcorv and said businesses mosl affected would lie between $250.000 and $300.000 in yearly a i favored the less liberal House bill.
