Droper, Mgr. 233-7212 Rep. Steiger Defends Health and Safety Act MANITOWOC (UPI) Rep. William A. Steiger THE said Sunday he is unnecessarily catching flak from both labor and management over a bill on occupational safety and health he co-sponsored in 1970.

And, Steiger said, it is all because the people criticizing don't have all the information on the bill. "There has been a lot of1 misinformation among labor and management about the applicaetion of the act," he said. He said labor accused the law of being too weak while management said it is too strong. Steiger said the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 had already resulted in 242 inspections in Wisconsin since April of 1971. He said fines for violations could be reduced up to 75 per cent depending on the size of the firm, its past record and promises to eliminate the defects.

UWM's Head to Teach Decisions Seminar MILWAUKEE (UPI) University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Chancellor J. Martin Klotsche will teach a once a week seminar at UWM this fall in the decision making process in the university. Klotsche, who has been criticized for not being accessible to students, said he got the idea from meetings with students on the UWM campus in 1971. He said the students were very curious as to how UWM officials made decisions that affected them. Venue Change Asked in Girl-Slaying Trial MENOMINEE, Mich.

(UPI) Attorneys for Gregory Leafe, 16. Menominee, who is charged with first degree murder, have asked for a change in venue because of what they term excessive pre-trial publicity. Leafe and Robert D. Powell, 29. a former Wisconsin teacher, are accused of killing Darcy Curtice, 15.

Menominee, in February and dumping her body in the Menominee River where it was found in April. Proxmire Warns Price Commission to Hold Hearings WASHINGTON UP Sen. William Proxmire (D-Wis.) said Sunday that unless the Price Commission reverses its policy of not holding public hearings on major price increases, any increase in 1973 car prices be illegal. In a letter to Commission Chairman C. Jackson Grayson, he said the Economic Stabilization Act requires public hearings to the maximum extent possible on price increases that have a significant impact on the economy.

"The Economic Stabilization Act," his letter said, "specifically authorizes an aggrieved consumer to sue for damages. Federal courts permit consumer class-action suits, hence a single law suit can result in rebates to millions of car buyers." Proxmire, chairman of the Senate-House Economic Committee, said that while "the Price Commission may arrogantly thumb its nose at the Congress," the companies it regulates may have to bear the ultimate legal cost. "Your stubborn refusal to obey the law by holding public, hearings on auto price increases can subject the auto industry to a rash of litigation and a potential liability in excess of $1-billion." Proxmire said in his letter to Grayson. Nixons Visit Pat's Ill Brother in L. A.

LOS ANGELES (P President Nixon went with his wife Sunday to visit her brother, who is recuperating at his home here after surgery.

Aides said Mrs. Nixon had planned to visit her brother and that the President decided Sunday morning he would go along. Mrs.

Nixon's brother lives in northern Los Angeles. Israelis Prepare Security for Trial in Massacre Case son. Some of Wolfe's favorite pieces are deeply endowed with religious and ethnic influence. His only "sad" work is a Cross of David candelabrum with a symbolic third missing, and his "favorite" is a swept-back, like design he calls "Israeli Air Force." But for the most part, Wolfe's metal men are whimsically created, and whimsically viewed. "I get a kick out of the kick people get from my things.

a woman comes, by, gets hysterical when she sees the bird is a shovel." LOOKING AT a group of engrossed children clustered around his moving metal men, he laughed: only the children controlled the wealth, I'd be But for now, he seems to be content as David Wolfe, a man with the magical talent of turnting hardware into art. "I like the idea, the feel of metal. the fusing of metal," he said. "I feel like I'm only in third grade as far as this thing goes. Maybe I'll never get out of grammar school, but I'm going to keep GOP's Fish Takes Lessons, Ribbing From Democrats MIAMI BEACH (UPD) The chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party, Ody Fish, is attending the Democratic National Convention to gather some data for his job as sergeant of arms at the Republican National Convention.

Fish. from Pewaukee, is learning about crowd control and how the Democrats are engineering the flow of delegates, newsmen, and assorted special status persons like Fish. Naturally a Republican on Democratic grounds is in for a bit of ribbing, like the quip he got from David Carley, Madison businessman and former Democratic National Committeeman. Carley asked Fish if he was checking the electronic bugs" in the hotel rooms, a reference to a raid on Democratic headquarters purported to have been planned by the Republicans. Fish said "We have a bug in vour room.

Y. REYKJAVIK. Iceland (UPI) Challenger Bobby Fischer's favorite chair arrived by air freight from New York Sunday to help assure the American's comfort in his match against Russian Boris Spassky for the world chess championship. The players have still to give their official approval to the playing conditions but Spassky said Saturday before leaving to go salmon fishing that he would not argue about the conditions or the picking of a board and a chess set. Fischer, who has been in the hall where the match is to be played once, complained about a number of things, including the chairs, the light, and the board.

Since he could find no chair to fit him, Fischer decided to ship his own favorite chair in from New York. It arrived aboard an Icelandic jetliner. 11 'til 8 P.M. All the LIVER Can Eat. OnIOnS and 99 Grants 2901 N.

SHERMAN SHERMAN PLAZA AVE. TEL AVIV (UPI) Israeli troops Sunday put the final security touches to a section of the Zrifin army camp grounds for the opening today of the trial of Kozo Okamoto in connection with the Lod Airport massacre. Okamoto is the sole survivor of the three -man Japanese death squad that killed 26 persons and wounded 79 others with bullets and bombs in the arrival hall of Israel's International Airport on May 30. Many of the victims were Puerto Rican Christians on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Okamoto faces four charges, three punishable by on conviction, for his part in the attack.

His trial opens two days after the assassination in Beirut of Gassan Kanafani, a leader of the Arab guerrilla group, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), that claimed "complete responsibility" for the Lod massacre. Kanafani and a 14-year-old niece were killed, by a bomb planted in his automobile. A Beirut newspaper accused Israel. Newsmen covering the trial have been issued special permits and will be submitted to rigorous body searches before entering the court compound. The three-man tribunal will hear testimony from 13 witnesses.

Another witness, Jose Abner Munos, who led the Puerto Rican pilgrims, had already testified before the court because he had to leave the country before the beginning of the trial.
