"Mother Tunnel Ridge Coal Co. at Silver Governor Martin's stream clearance program shaped up today at the first big issue before tho 1945 General Aksembly at HarrUburg. Although both Republican and Democratic leaders favor a vigorous policy to clean up Pennsylvania's strtem after the war, there were indications party lines may be broken when legislation to outlaw dumping of silt and stiffen penalties for pure stream law violations comet to a vote.

"Coal interests have thousands of dollurt to spend to defeat the bill," declared Charles H. Brun-ner, (R-Montgomery), who introduced the administration measure and is conducting a personal campaign for Its enactment "The citiwnt of Pennsylvania, many of them coal consumers, are interested in clean streams," he continued. "I feel that public opinion is a more potent factor than extensive lobbying." Brunner is a member of the Pub-lie Health and Sanitation Committee considering the measure as is Rep. William J. Stoner (R-Lack-awanna), who has already announced his opposition to the proposal.

Headed by Rep. William W. Serrill (R-Forest), the committee has been organized and was expected to get down to consideration of the stream. Majority leaders also moved to get other key administration bills to the floor of the Senate and House. Only four measures of the hundreds so far submitted were up for final action in the up-per branch and the House had three bills before it.

The Democratic minority leadership, meantime, was expected to call for no retreat on the Commonwealth's prime legislative needs, including stream clearance, education and compensation. "We retreated a little on the soldier ballot law," declared one Democratic leader who declined quotation by name, "but our forces in the House can be organized so that it will not be necessary to retreat on stream pollution, not be necessary to retreat on port development, and we will not be forced to retreat on the school program to which the leadership on the Democratic side is finally committed." Soldier vote law amendments shifting the 1945 primary to June 19 and making other election law changes were drafted in rough form for final review at a conference of legislative and party leaders from both sides before its introduction in the legislature, probably this week. The changes were agreed on at a conference of both Republican and Democratic legislators with state and county officials last week. pia.v Brook. 0n the Kadio.
