The award was presented by State Highway Safety Coordinator John Radcliffe, right, to Police Safety Education Officer Sgt. Robert Graves, Police Inspector George Schiro, and Mayor William D. Dyke at a luncheon Friday in the Park Motor Inn.

Madison was one of only four cities to receive the award. The city placed first among 221 cities in the class and was cited particularly for its school traffic safety program and its police and civic safety programs. There were three pedestrian fatalities and 115 injuries on city streets during 1970.

Dyke to enact a $9 wheel tax. On most issues Dries has been a staunch ally of the mayor, and his continued opposition to the wheel tax poses a formidable obstacle to Dyke. EARLIER this week the mayor requested the Finance Dept.

to analyze the potential revenue the city would get from the car tax. Dyke stopped short of formally proposing the measure but said it would help pay for the mounting bus deficit and would be a distasteful but better alternative to raising property taxes. state.

to 4 p.m. By STEVEN L. RAYMER Of The State Journal Staff Gov. Patrick J. Lucey's health care task force began work Friday amid suggestions that neither Republican nor Democratic state budget pro posals meet the needs of finan cially hard-pressed medical schools.

The 43-member panel headed by Madison industrialist David Carley was told that a 1971-73 "no tax increase" budget aut hored by Senate Republicans would hand medical schools a "disastrous setback." Lucey's spending proposals also were criticized. The charges were leveled by retired Milwaukee insurance ex ecutive Donald Slichter, who chaired GOP Gov. Warren Knowies' I9b7 task lorce on medical education. Slichter called for a bipartisan legisla tive push to give "top priority" to medical school funding. Slichter charged that the GOP budget would leave the Univer sity of Wisconsin Medical School and Milwaukee's Medical College of Wisconsin "withering and demoralized institutions.

Carley said earlier this week the GOP budget substitute of fered a "tragic lack of financial support" to meet state health care needs. Lucey's $1.98 billion budget carries with it a $190 million tax hike. The chief executive's proposal and the Senate's "no-tax increase" substitute will be ne gotiated later this summer by a legislative compromise committee. The GOP budget proposal eliminates $10 million for the first phase of a new UW Medi cal School at the west end of the Madison campus. Construction of the new medical school with a price tag expected to reach $45 million has been billed by supporters as the best way to train more doctors.

"I can't overemphasize the importance of proper funding for our medical schools," Slich ter a i "If the people of Wisconsin are to have proper health care." Slichter also labeled Lucey's proposed $3.7 million appropriation for the Medical College of Wisconsin a "discouraging."

Echoing Slichter, Dr. Robert D. Coye of the UW Medical School said the state now had 121 doctors for every 100,000 persons, compared to a national average of 155 physicians per 100,000 population. In 1967, Wis consin had 119 doctors for every 100,000 residents.

Coye, however, said the state's two medical schools were making "slow, painful progress" in a i the sizes of freshman classes.

However, Dries said, those who would benefit would be large property owners. For these people, Dries said, paying a $9 tax on one or two cars would be preferable to a prop erty tax increase. Dries conceded that the wheel tax would benefit small homeowners who might be too poor or too old to own a car.

But, he said, this does not outweigh the overall fact that "the wheel tax reflects ability-to-pay even less than the property tax." DRIES SAID that, if Dyke proposes the measure, it would face a bleak prospect before the council. The measure was passed in 1967, but a technical slipup forced a second vote, by which time enough votes had changed to defeat it. Former Mayor Otto Festge proposed it again in 1968, and again it was defeated. Dyke included the tax in his 1969 budget, and for a third straight year it was rejected. Diseased Elms' Removal to Close Arboretum Road The three-mile stretch of Ar boretum Dr.

between Seminole Highway and Wingra Dr. will be closed to traffic Tuesday to allow workmen to remove dis eased elm trees, the University of Wisconsin said Friday. Arboretum Director Roger C. Anderson said nine elms contaminated with Dutch elm dis ease would be removed. Another 50 elms in the preserve show signs of the dis ease.

The drive will be closed from 7:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. How ever, police will allow residents to enter the drive, Anderson said. Anderson said that elms are not dominant in the Arboretum, and thus none of the scenic wooded areas is threatened with extinction. Brief in Draft Course Cited Madison Public Schools' draft education program for high school seniors was cited as one of the few such programs in the nation in the July issue of Na tion's Schools magazine.

The program will begin this fall as an elective course in all four Madison high schools. Ma terials for the course were de veloped by a committee which included teachers, school administrators, students, parents, clergymen, and Selective Serv ice representatives. The article cites the Madison and Santa Clara County, school systems as among the few in the country which have developed their own curriculum materials on the draft.

DRIES SAID the wheel tax: which would create about $600,000 minus administration by Wardell Pomeroy, reportedly the School Administration Build libraries have the material they use in their family life curriculum and that duplicate copies rarely are kept in the center.

He also said that new material screened earlier this spring by the board for possible use this fall is not available because1 it was obtained on loan from its publishers. Material available at the center include texts, films, tapes, and recordings. The board's Education Committee will review the proposed family life sex education curriculum model at a 6 p.m. meeting Monday in the Administration Building. Action on the proposed model may come at the board meeting at 7:45 p.m.

A former alderman charged at a hearing on a proposed curriculum model for family life that the "Boys and Sex" book contained explicit a i 1 on sexual practices. A school official later said the book had been missing since January, 1970, but a sex education opponent later claimed it was among books available at a Board of Education vi earlier this year of sex education material. SAPONE SAID any family life including sex education material in the Instructional Materials Center may be previewed by the public. He said that individual school only ruling.

Both the Eagles and Elks received their liquor licenses in Madison. Elmer W. Schmidt, a member of the Milwaukee Eagles Club, said it would be unfair to take away the Eagles' license because the bar and bowling alley at the Milwaukee club are open to the public. "The parts of the club that are for members only the sauna, steam room, pool have nothing to do with the liquor license." said Schmidt. Pierce said that the Elks facilities are not open to the public except for guests of members.

He said that if a member brought a black person in as a guest the club would not object. "As a matter of fact it's done quite often. It's a weekly occurence," said Pierce. Rep. Lloyd Barbee, (D-Mil-waukee), sponsor of the bill, said that by granting liquor licenses to discriminatory organizations "the powers of the state are used to aid and abet dis crimination on racial grounds." Referring to the Madison ordi nance, Kep.

tan Mcfcssy (K-Fond du Lac) said, "If local municipalities have the power now to restrict liquor licenses we don't need this law."

Madison has a city ordinance prohibiting the granting of liquor licenses to establishments which discriminate.

The local Moose Lodge lost its license July 1 because of its whites-only membership policy. The national Eagles Club in the summer of 1970 gave all its local lodges the option of keeping the whites-only policy or dis regarding it and the local Elks group issued a statement in June saying it would not be bound by the national whites- Frail Synagogue Must Wait a Bit Before Moving The fragile condition of the Gates of Heaven Synagogue means that the building won't be moved until Monday or Tues day, according to William Bak- ken of the City Building Inspec tion Division. "That baby is in real crumbly shape," Bakken said Friday, but he added that he expects the move to James Madison Park to come off with only a "few stones" lost. Bakken said the firm moving the building has decided that extra precautions are neces sary, lhe structure originally had been scheduled to be moved on Thursday. Bakken said the building will be banded on the outside with aircraft cable.

He compared to the structure of the building to two boxes leaning against each other. The banded building will be rolled to the park on a frame supported by 96 aircraft wheels.
