OMVI Jay Lewis McDole, no age listed in court records, By Associated Press Thousands of central and eastern Iowans received an unplanned day off work Monday, but many spent the free time hoisting heavy shovels full of snow to dig out from the state's latest mammoth winter storm. The storm, spinning out of a low pressure system in western Illinois, forced the closing of schools, businesses and industry at many central and eastern Iowa locations. The respite from snow promised by weather forecasters for Monday night and Tuesday was of little immediate consolation because one to two inches more snow was due in the afternoon. That meant some points could be buried under as much as 16 inches of fresh, but heavy snow. Snowfall amounts measured 14 inches at Cascade; at Brighton 12; Keokuk, Augusta Davenport, Fort Madison, Oelwein, Burlington and Donnelson 10.

As if the snow was not bad enough, strong north to northwesterly winds gusted to re-dieted speeds of nearly sO miles per hour in some places, piling drifts to insurmountable heights. The storm apparently caused no deaths in Iowa, but Clyde Stapleton, 47, Rock Island, 111., died of an apparent heart attack in 'that community while on his way to work. Authorities said Stapleton had to park his car a considerable distance from his job, and died while walking from the vehicle. When the snow reached a depth of seven inches, Cedar Rapids Mayor Don Canney imposed a snow emergency and urged all nonessential business to cease and travel be kept to necessary journeys. Even city buses were ordered off thoroughfares.

Iowa legislators who customarily return to Des Moines on Sunday nights for Monday sessions were on hand even though the storm severely hampered travel. But many of those who return on Mondays found their way impeded by the thick covering of snow. By noon, the House numbered 64 members on hand, the Senate 40. House committee meetings were cancelled because of a lack of a quorum. The Senate went into session in the afternoon.

Many senators spent the morning in OAKLAND, Iowa (AP) -The Oakand plant of American Beef Packers, re-opened Monday with loan money from General Electric Credit Corp. The plant closed in early January when ABP, of Omaha, sought relief from creditors under the federal Bankruptcy Act. The closing idled about 300 workers, and sources at the plant said most of them were on the job Monday. But some others reportedly had found other permanent employment during the layoff. A spokesman at the plant said work progressed smoothly during the first day of operation after the layoff.

He said the company had all production gangs it needed. He said enough cattle were available for the first day, and he believed an adequate supply had been arranged for Tuesday and Wednesday. Buyers had been dispatched to farms to purchase cattle, the spokesman said. The plant re-opened under a loan of about $7 million from the credit firm. Officials said they plan to reopen American Beef's Western Iowa Pork plant at nearby Harlan, but the target date was uncertain.

Rep. Floyd Millen, R-Farmington, said the Democrats' proposal would result in the Iowa Legislature becoming a full-time budgeting legislature and he said other programs would fall by the wayside. Millen also said the cost of state government would increase with annual budgeting. The floor manager of the bill, Rep. William Griffee, D-Nashua, said the Democrats did not intend to go through an entire budgeting process next year.

Rather, he said, the legislature would vote on appropriations in the second year of the biennium. If money was tight, he said the appropriations could be withheld. The measure is likely to be revived when the Democratic majority is back in DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) House Republicans took advantage of Democratic absences Monday to defeat two of the majority party's priority bills. Absences were many because of severe snow storm but both the Senate and the House had enough for a quorum. After passing two noncontroversial bills, the House defeated a bill to fund several state regulatory boards, 44-18.

The measure was the first annual appropriations bill to meet a House floor vote this session. Another measure to increase the size of the State Historical Board was defeated, 41-23 and Majority Leader Jerry Fitzgerald, D-Fort Dodge, then moved to adjourn. The Democrats want the legislature to go to annual appropriations.

Area Watershed Waits on Spring Iowa Beef Processors (IBP) has filed a $44,178 suit against Beatrice Foods Co. of Philadelphia, for failure to complete a contract purchase. The petition, filed Monday in Woodbury County District Court, says that the defendant's Convenience Foods Division made a contract March 12, 1974, to purchase 516,000 pounds of beef trimmings from IBP for 39.25 cents a pound. The first shipment of 550 boxes was made and $15,097 was received in payment, the petition states.

IBP says that Beatrice Foods made notification on March 19, 1974, that the defendant wouldn't exercise its option for the remainder of the order. In the IBP claims that there was no option provision in the order and that the defendant defaulted on the contract and the meat processor asks $44,178 damages. period allowed.

Earl Kizzier and Lee White of the Soil Conservation Service reported on the project Monday to the Woodbury County Board of Supervisors. Kizzier said that the watershed will drain 6,416 acres ot land through 10 grade stabilization structures. The area, which currently is losing 10 acres of land a year to erosion, will have 20 acres of cropland and 5.2 acres of pastureland taken out of production.

The project will cost $656,000, none of which will come out of county funds. One of the grade stabilization structures in the watershed will be a county road bridge, which after construction will become county property.

The committee states in the recommendation that the Iowa Department of Public Instruction places on equal value in local in-service credits and college credits and accepts them for certificate renewal, and that the Sioux City schools likewise should accept such credit for advancement on the salary schedule. The board also will consider continuation of the Police School Liaison Officer program in the schools. The Northwest Iowa Area Crime Commission prepared applications for continuing the program, and the board will decide on the length of the program wanted.

Wine Sale Measure Introduced The Machinists Union, Lodge 162 has filed a suit against Sioux Tools Inc. for alleged violation of their labor contract. The petition, filed Monday in Woodbury County District Court, says that a federal arbitrator ruled Aug. 23, 1973, that the current labor contract doesn't allow one worker to operate two machines at the same time at the Sioux Tools plant. The machinists' petition states that Sioux Tools complied with that contract provision from Aug.

13, 1973, to Feb. 19, 1975, when one person again was required to operate two machines. The machinists are asking that an injunction be issued to prevent violation of the contract. They also are asking actual damages and $40,000 punitive damages.
