There are many old Heart Disease Again Leads Death Cause Steplienson County Coroner Gene Burke investigated more deaths in 1970 than the year before but fewer than he had in 1968, his annual report shows. As has been the case since 1955, heart disease of all types accounted for more deaths in the county than any other single cause. In 1970 the heart disease deaths investigated by the coroner, 47, numbered more than half of the total of 95 deaths investigated. The number of suicides doubled to 10, the number of motor vehicle accident deaths remained at 21, about the same as 1969's 19; the number of deaths due to fire decreased to one from 5, and the number of homicides remained the same as in 1969.

Burke conducted 37 inquests, 56 inquiries and has 2 inquests pending, making 95 cases for the year. His official report for 1970 shows the number of deaths by each cause: Heart diseases (all types) 47 Motor vehicle accidents .........21 Respiratory failure 3 Falls Death due to fire 1 Suicide 10 Freeporter Becomes Consul To Frankfurt ROBERT H.

Frazier Recovering From Slashed Wrist SANTA CRUZ, Calif (AP) John Linley Frazier, awaiting trial for the Ohta family murders, is recovering today from a wrist slash, officials say. "He's in no danger," said San- fa Cruz County Dist. Atty. Peter Chang Jr. "He made a very superficial cut on one wrist.

By DUNCAN BIRDSELL Journal-Standard City Editor The only area legislator to support a sharply increased and controversial pay hike for Illinois lawmakers justifies his vote on the basis of a burgeoning workload for the General Assembly, the change to annual sessions, and the anticipation that higher salaries will attract and hold quality legislators. Rep. Robert Brinkmeier of Forreston made these observations Friday after both houses in Springfield approved Wednesday a pay raise from $12,000 to $17,500 annually for senators Frazier, accused slayer of Dr. Victor M. Ohta, his wife, two sons and a secretary, used a razor blade to slash his wrist Chang said.

and representatives in the whirlwind windup to the 76th General Assembly. Brinkmeier voted yes on the 45 per cent salary increase measure, which also included sizable raises for state directors. Sen. Everett Laughlin of Freeport cast a no vote, while the area's other two representatives, Merle Anderson of Durand and Dr. David Shapiro of Amboy did not vote.

In analyzing his thinking hi support of the new pay level, Brinkmeier that the newly adopted state Constitution commits the legislature to annual sessions. Longer Sessions "They anticipate 8,000 to 10,000 bills in the new session. We probably won't finish by July 1 so there'll be an adjournment to later in the summer or fall. We'll be in Springfield longer than other sessions and this pattern should continue in years to come," Brinkmeier said. At the start of sessions the legislative week runs Tuesday through Thursday, but expands to a four or five day week as the session builds up momentum.

Brinkmeier did not support a pay increase to $15,000 in a special session of the Assembly In 1970, but felt the fiscal health of the state government is better now. "At that time I didn't think there had been enough money allocated for mental health and aid to public schools, but this was done," Brinkmeier said. Figure surprised Brinkmeier said the $17,500 figure "surprised me" when it was presented this week. "I knew the salary increase would be brought up again, but assumed the figure would be employed on the Aquin High School faculty as a guidance director and coach. He anticipates increased commitments in Springfield could alter his setup here.

Commission Proposal One innovation that Brinkmeier would like to see on the legislator pay matter is the establishment of a commission that would determine and make recommendations to the governor on salaries. The commission would have no legislative members. Such a commission would give an independent look to salary matters, Brinkmeier foresees. "It's a bad situation now. If you vote against a pay raise you say in effect you're not earning this.

If you vote for one you say I'm a little different and can vote a pay raise for myself." Brinkmeier speculates that even those legislators that voted against salary increases for themselves probably supported them and cast a negative vote "as a matter of political expediency." Chicago Teachers Approve Strike CHICAGO (AP) Chicago's public school teachers voted overwhelmingly Friday to go on strike Tuesday unless the Board of Education makes a 1971 contract offer acceptable to the union's house of representatives. The union has slated a special meeting Monday to examine any contract offers proposed during the negotiations which are expected to continue through the weekend. A strike would affect some 24,500 teachers and 577,900 students enrolled in the city's elementary and high schools. The union contract expired at midnight Dec. 31.

Establishes Day Powell News Heavy The news had been heavy about the finding of $800,000 in cash in the hotel room of the late Secretary of State Paul Powell. Friday, Ogilvie said he will reveal his income tax return voluntarily. Lt. Gov. Paul Simon regularly discloses income of himself and his family, and requires his aides to do the same.

"Illinois has the strongest (ethics) legislation on the books of any of the states," Blair told newsmen Friday. "We are going to take another look and see if we can't beef it up. "The public demands we operate state government in a fashion above reproach." Taking hold of the reins of his new office, Blair fired the leftovers of the staff of the previous speakers office and began hiring replacements to carry out his policies. Blair said that ethics are "very difficult to legislate on" but noted the legislators had enacted the existing disclosure law. We acted responsibly before." Required Now $15,000 plained.

the legislator ex- For Dr. King In St. Louis ST. LOUIS (AP) Mayor A. J.

Cervantes signed Thursday a bill establishing Jan. 15 a city holiday in memory of the birth date of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Cervantes said he approved He said there had been no political muscle exerted on him by Democratic leaders to back the pay raise. Both the Democratic and Republican hierarchies of the Assembly, as well as Gov.

Richard Ogilvie, endorsed the raises. Brinkmeier said he had received little comment locally on the salary issue either before or since the vote, but added "I realize many people feel it was not justified." The Forreston legislator is the bill, passed last month by city aldermen, because it is fitting for St. Louis as a city of racial harmony to memorialize King. The holiday, he said, should serve as a symbol of racial harmony vital to the solution of city problems. CORRECTION Mrs.

Max (Irene) Polowy of Polo, who died Thursday morning, was born Jan. 11, 1897. Her birth date was incorrectly reported to the Freeport Journal- Standard Friday. In 1967, a law was enacted to require statements by lawmakers, state officials and candidates of economic interests and relationships likely to create conflicts of interest. The 1970 Constitution effective July 1 will require candidates or holders of state offices and all members of a commission or board created by the Constitution to file a verified statement of their economic interest as provided by law.

The Constitution empowers the legislature to extend this downward to local governments, including school districts, and to set the penalty at forfeiture o) office. The Constitution may require 1,500 to 2,000 bills above the 4,000 or so usually filed in a legislative session. Blair made this estimate and said it may force meeting eight to ten months each year for two years, instead of what is considered a normal six months each year. Blair said a special committee will be created for constitutional implementation. More Working Days "We'll be spending more working days getting the job done," the Republican speaker said.

Instead of meeting only two days a week, and then extending the two days into nights, Blair said he intends to extend the legislative week to thrte or four full days to meet the heavier load. One handicap for most lawmakers is their lack of adequate office space and the absence of state assistance. Plans have been announced for building a $22 million underground office and parking area between the Capitol and the state office building nearby. Completion is expected in two years. Blair said it would be "putting the cart before tht horse" to attempt to provide additional staff assistance before the space were created.

Blair said he hoped for a 90 per cent increase in efficiency through his plan to meet in the morning before every legislative session with Democratic House leaders to iron out differing attitudes and to discuss conflicts. Most sessions are interrupted by demands of one party or the other for caucuses. Caucuses are held to secretly determine how to react to unexpected crises brought on by surprise proposals of the other party.

(AP) A driverless car, circling backwards at 20 miles an hour, blocked the main street of this small town for 45 minutes while five policemen tried to capture it. Cora J. Hathcock, 52, of nearby Antioch, left the car running Friday to warm it up and it somehow slipped into reverse, police said.

Every few moments it hit a parked pickup truck, bounced off, circled and hit the truck again. Patrolman James Alcorn said police vainly tried throwing objects in the way to deflect the course, and "we thought of shooting the tires, but it would just have kept going on the flats. It had a full tank of gas." The driver's door was banging back and forth. The locked passenger door was on the inside of the orbit, but an officer with a spare key finally made a run for it and halted the vehicle. Employes Take Pay Cut; Plant Stays In Texas SAN ANTONIO, Tex.

(AP) The Swift Co. meat packing plant here, scheduled to close in April, made plans Thursday to continue operations after em- ployes offered to take a pay cut.
