Plans are being made for the merger of Racine Junction Savings and Loan Association, 1601 Ave.T into Racine Savings and Loan -Association, which has its headquarters office at 400 Wisconsin Ave. An application for permission to merge, submitted jointly by the two has been approved by the state's savings and loan commissioner, R.J. McMahon.

Key approval must still come from the Federal Home Loan Bank Board before a merger could be consummated. The application pending with the federal agency may take several months to process. Racine Savings and Loan, founded in 1891 as Racine Building Loan Association, has total assets of about $60 million. In addition to its main office Downtown, Racine Savings has branches at 3911 N. Main St.

A merger would enable the combined organizations a new name, Southeastern Savings and Loan Association, is contemplated to add services neither organization can offer now because of size limitations, Lenzke said.

George Janosik, president of Racine Savings, said a merger would serve the interests "of our customers and the people of Racine with a wider range of services and policies." Janosik said there would be a "total assimilation of boards, officers and employes." He said the merger agreement is "the harmonious result of careful consideration by two healthy associations in answer to sweeping changes taking place in the industry."

Senate Democratic Leader" Mike Mansfield said today that several House members have told him "the votes are there" to impeach President Nixon and force a Senate trial later this year. Mansfield emphasized in talking to a reporter that he has no direct knowledge of what the current situation in the House is and that his evaluation is based on conversations with House members he did not name. This is the first time the Senate Democratic leader has conceded that the House might vote impeachment.

Until now, he has said he doesn't expect it. In other Watergate-related developments: Sen. Sam J. Ervin DN.C., chairman of the Senate Watergate committee, criticized Atty. Gen.

William B. Saxbe after the Justice Department filed a friend-of-the-court brief opposing the committee's suit seeking five presidential tapes. The suit now is before the U.S. Court of Appeals after it was rejected by a district court judge. Ervin also accused Saxbe of "violating his solemn agreement that he would leave all matters related to Watergate to special prosecutor Leon Jaworski." Saxbe replied through a spokesman that the brief "addressed itself to institutional issues and not to merits in the case." Sen.

Lowell P. Weicker revealed a White House memorandum to former presidential counsel John W. Dean III WASHINGTON (AP) The White House announced today it will provide special Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski with the materials he has sought by subpoena. Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler passed this word to newsmen hurriedly and without elaboration.

Neither the White House nor Jaworski have said what was sought in the subpoena. There was no immediate opportunity to question the White House spokesman as to whether all of the materials covered in the Jaworski subpoena exist. Earlier. White House lawyer James D. St.

Clair and members of the special prosecutor's office agreed to meet this afternoon as the deadline approached on the prosecutor's latest demand for presidential files. St. Clair and members of Jaworski's staff have negotiated daily since Monday, when the White House asked for a four-day exten sion of the deadline to respond to the subpoena. All that is known about the subpoena is that it does not ask for evidence on the Watergate break-in and cover-up or the 1971 White House plumbers operation that resulted in the break-in at the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist. Indictments have been returned in those two matters.

It is likely the documents sought by the grand jury through Jaworski bear on the handling of campaign funds. On another subject, White House spokesman Gerald L. Warren said Thursday it was a matter of court record that tapes do not exist of conversations sought by the House Judiciary Committee which occurred after a recorder ran out of tape. Warren did not make any estimate of how many conversations might not have been taped as a result of the machine running out of tape, but an analysis of the court documents indicated that perhaps five conversations were not taped. tifi wnaT s.

She cried. And I called my daughter in the hospital where she is recovering from an eye injury. And she cried. "Then I went home and my other 10 children cheered when I walked in. They said the cheers were pre-arranged and were ready because they knew I was innocent." Manion said his friends stuck by him throughout the ordeal and his family drew closer together than ever before.

"After living a decent life, it was tough being on the other side of the fence. Right now I'm very tired. This has taken a lot out of me." he said.

CHICAGO (AP) "The ordeal of indictment and trial taught me a lesson I'll never forget," says a former Chicago policeman found innocent of shaking down taverns for kickbacks. James Psichalinos, 31, and two other former officers found innocent of the charges talked Thursday about what it was like to live on the outer edge of the law.

"If you ever charge a man with a crime, you've got to be very, very sure the charge is justified," Psichalinos said. "I enjoyed police work, but I have serious doubts that I'll try to go back on the force." The other former officers cleared of the charges Tuesday were James Gartner, 36. and Eugene Manion. 45. the father of 11 children.

The committee would include two association members, two named by the County Board and an impartial fifth person to be chosen by the other four members with help from the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission. Lieungh said the county felt the negotiating sessions had been tough.

"The city settled in a similar manner with policemen and firemen," he said, and added that the county benefits from a two-year contract. "We look to a very strong relationship between deputies and the County Board itself," he said. Contract talks have been running on and off since December. The deputies' contract expired Dec. 31, 1973.

ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) -Alexander Solzhenitsyn and his family were joyously reunited in Zurich today 44 days after the Nobel Prize-winning author was banished from Russia. Holding a small bouquet of red and white carnations, he boarded the Swissair jet that brought them from Moscow. His wife rushed into his arms, they embraced silently for 30 seconds, then he broke away and kissed his four children and mother-in-law. Solzhenitsyn refused to speak to newsmen. But his wife.

Natalya. said she thought her husband "is looking fine. Now all is well." Solzhenitsyn appeared concerned about the massive load of old suitcases in the plane's hold, and as soon as his family was safely in the he dashed back to the plane to get two large suitcases. Chatting with an interpreter about the remaining luggage, the writer put the suitcases into the cars and flipped them open to check the books and papers jammed inside before leaving the airport for his rented home in Zurich. The remaining baggage was to follow later.

Tentative agreement on a two-year contract between Racine County and its sheriff's deputies was reached in a nine-hour session that ended at 4:30 a.m. today. The chairman of the County Board's Personnel Committee, Thor Lieungh, said key provisions call for: A 6 per cent pay boost retroactive to Jan. 1. Another 4 per cent starting July 1.

Cost of living provisions for the second vear contract starting Jan. 1. 1975. Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission Mediator Marshall Gratz, who participated in the nine-hour negotiation session, said the Cost of living provision is being patterned after the second year cost of living program being followed by the City of Racine Police Department. ft "It will be tied to a cost of living index and as the cost of living rises, the percentage will be paid quarterly." he said, adding that the County's request by petition for final and binding arbitration may be obsolete.

"The County filed a petition with the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission requesting final arbitration of the matter but that was before last night's he said, adding that since tentative agreement has been reached, the petition will probably be dropped. Lieungh said other provisions in the tentative agreement include adding another $15 per month longevity step after 20 years, effective with 1975. and increasing the pay of sergeants by $25 a month, effective this year. The agreement, subject to ratification by the deputy sheriff's association and to approval by the County Board, also calls for appointment, of a fivemember committee to make final and binding If i .4 State Woman Must Pay Husband; Child Support V' 1 I i cv i support since her husband had quit his job two years ago to stay home with the children while she worked in a factory.
