Bogin and Father Martoch voted for that; Simms voted against. Transit Authority President Thomas B. Andrews did not vote because he had left the meeting earlier after returning from a private room where St. John and Simms were talking on the telephone with St.

Fritz Journal Herald Staff Writtr The Miami Valley Regional Transit Authority (RTA) has some more bus companies to buy. It also may have some suits to settle. And it also has the first split in its hitherto unanimous board of trustees.

Yesterday's events all started, routinely enough, with a secret meeting. BUT THAT secret meeting, once uncovered, turned into a public meeting of sorts at which the transit authority agreed to "confer with Megacity, Miami Valley Transit Lines, and St. THE TERM "without prejudice" essentially means that the suits would be dropped but no determination agreement made as to the validity of the issues raised. Despite Simms position that "I just can't see going in with that suit," authority Trustee Asher Bogin "and Delegate Rev. Edward R.

Martoch voted to instruct the authority's attorney to oppose a move to dismiss the suits without prejudice. BOGIN PUT it this way: "I think what Fatter Martoch is saying, and Mrs. Lyndon Abbott (another a 1 1 a e) is agreeing to, is that we pass this resolution but then insist these John Transportation where deemed applicable with a view to negotiations, in fairness for acquisition or a reasonable basis for continued operation of existing transit service as in accordance with federal and state law." that a the authority, which has been trying for nine months now to purchase the City Transit must purchase at least that portion of those three operations, all owned by Roland E.

John would begin those negotiations Monday. But Simms was not successful in attempting to merge passage of the resolution with agreement by St. John to drop suits "without prejudice."

John operations. About negotiations, he said, "We'd be willing to discuss at some future date any taking over of Greenwich Village lines (another St. John operation), or any of them." But, he said, there had been "no agreement or offer on the subject yet." He then ended the telephone conversation because, he said, the authority was having an "informal session on negotiating (Continued on Page 3) Western diplomats throw cold water on reports published in London that Russia and China were pressuring Hanoi to make peace with South Vietnam, p. 2.

Rogers yesterday said a European security conference would take place next year and that the United States had agreed to take part in it. "We believe preparatory talks could begin in Helsinki in December this year," Rogers told an impromptu news conference at the Bucharest airport before flying on to Budapest, Hungary. At a luncheon earlier, Rogers said, "the conference next year on Security and Cooperation in Europe if it takes concrete steps to increase contacts among Europeans can aid the process toward Eruopean reconciliation." American officials said it was the first time a high-ranking U.S. official had flatly said a European security conference, originally proposed by the Russians, would take place in 1973. "We had assumed this was the case, but it has never been stated flatly," one official said.

Officials said Rogers told Romanian leaders all American preconditions for starting work on the conference had been met. One of those preconditions was the Agreement on Berlin signed last month by Russia, the United States, Britain and France. Another was the American position that it would not take part in a conference that would not achieve concrete results. "As a result of President Nixon's talks in Moscow and my discussions in Bucharest today," Rogers told the Romanian leaders, "I believe we can work out a conference that can achieve concrete results and ease tensions in Europe." By Hugh McDiarmid Journal Herald Columbus Correspondent COLUMBUS The Ohio House last night approved creation of a department-level Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to take over administration of state air and water pollution laws. The senate, which has passed its own version May 17, was expected to concur on the house bill late last night and send it to the governor for signing.

The legislation also creates an environmental reivew board to hear appeals on actions by the EPA director and establishes a power siting commission to approve the location and emission and discharge requirements of major utility facilities and power lines. THE EPA bill carried the full backing of Gov. John J. Gilli-gan, who earlier this year had urged legislators to give it "the highest priority in your consideration." Passage came just two weeks shy of a year after introduction in the Ohio senate by Sen. Ralph S.

Regular, R-Navarre, its chief sponsor. Rep. John C. Scott, R-Fair-born, who carried the bill in the house yesterday, said it falls short of satisfying all sides, but, he said, it "is such an advance over present environmental administration in the state that it ought to be approved." The senate version, which passed 20 to 9 in May, had been sent to the house, where it ran into strong opposition from industrial and public utility lobbyists. A WEAKER version that was satisfactory to those lobbyists but too weak for a number of environmentalist groups emerged from a house committee two weeks ago.

That version, whose controversial sections had been rewritten June 17 at a closed-door meeting called by Speaker Charles F. Kurfess, R-Bowiing Green, was approved yesterday evening by the house 69 to 19 after two and a half hours of debate. Yesterday's house debate was divided between environmentalists, mostly Democrats, who sought to strengthen the bill and a group of Republicans who sought to weaken it A handful of major amend- Boris first WK it.

Modern Living A i Co By Unltd Prns Inttrnational Chief Justice Warren E. Burger yesterday temporarily delayed execution of lower court decisions which awarded Sen. George S. McGovern 194 dis-p Democratic Convention delegates. But he announced no decision on whether to summon the vacationing U.S.

Supreme Court back to consider appeals by the losers in those decisions. Banning F. Whittington, the court's press officer, said some action is expected this morning.

Yesterday the low reading of 44 broke the old July 6 mark of 52 set in 1891.

The reading also was a new low for the month of July, the old low being 43 in 1898.

A warming trend is expected to start moving Into the area today, with temperatures climbing lo normal over the weekend and into the 80s on Monday. Mayor Richard J. Daley's 59-member delegation.

THE DELAY gave Burger time to consider an urgent appeal from the Democratic National Committee that he reassemble the Supreme Court from its summer recess to consider overturning the California decision. Daley's group asked, too, that the Chicago decision be reversed. McGovern stood to gain 41 delegates from the Chicago area if Daley's bid fails. Those delegates, along with the 153 from California, would assure him a first-ballot presidential nomination when the roll is called in Miami Beach Wednesday night, McGovern's aides said. It was presumed here although no announcement was made that Burger was in contact with his colleagues on the Supreme Court in pondering the requests for an extraordinary session.
