Moore said Union 76 has refused to do so, and that he would "pursue aggressively" an extended contract and try to exert federal pressure to force Union 76 to continue servicing the state.

Moore's anticipated entry into the rumored court test p- parently is the result of a previous test of his budgetary veto powers in the state Supreme Court.

In that case, the attorney general, who was bringing the challenge, did not sue him but rather the clerk of the House of Delegates. "I don't want some fabricated legal effort to be made to amend the constitution of the state," Moore said. Moore said legislative officials keep saying "not yet" to his requests to appear before the two finance committees to discuss his programs, and added that the lawmakers are using the proposed court case as an excuse to "neglect the business of the state He said if they expect to use that as their excuse, they're "on thinner ice now than they were the first-60 days."

--The New York Times and the Washington Star-News reported that Jeb S. Magruder, former second-in-command at the Nixon re-election campaign, is the figure who has promised prosecutors he will plead guilty and testify against others in the case. It isn't clear what charges Magruder may face, but he has been accused informally of perjury, pressuring another to commit perjury, and planning the Watergate wire- lapping itself. --Magruder, who resigned April 26 from a policy job at the Commerce Department, was found to have been rehired last Monday by Solon Won't Accept Pay; CHARLESTON, W.

(AP) At least one member of the legislature is not going to accept pay for attending the special session because he feels all of the work should have been accomplished during the regular session. Del. John F. McCuskey, R- Harrison, said Friday he will refuse the $35 daily pay all lawmakers receive while in special session. He pointed out that all the matters now under consideration "should and could have been accomplished during the first 60-day regular session had we operated in an efficient manner." 'I was paid once by the people of the state to do my job and I cannot, in good conscience, accept double payment out of the taxpayer's pockets." He said his action was not a criticism of the leaders of the louse of Delegates but rather with the legislative system itself.

She said publicity for the program misrepresented the racial situation at Antioch. Judge Dan M. Aultman repeatedly ruled her testimony irrelevant. Other testimony Friday attempted to show procedures at the college have not been abnormally disrupted by the strike. Dean Ewell Reagin was expected to testify Friday afternoon.

Reagin and an aide were pelted with eggs Tuesday when they tried to enter several campus buildings. Striking stu- dents locked arms and barred them from the buildings. Both college officials and nonstriking students have said they would not seek police assistance in reopening the buildings. far there have been only minor scuffles and slight injuries. Small fires Monday night- caused $12,000 damage in three buildings and were labeled arson by Greene County sheriff's deputies.

About two-thirds of the 1,100 students enrolled at Antioch receive some federal or state aid. Tuition at the liberal arts college is $3,000 per year. College officials say that because of threatened cuts in federal aid they can guarantee financial assistance to low and middle income students for only two years. Strikers rejected that offer. Following the confrontation Tuesday, the college sent notices of expulsion to 20 students.

Seven faculty members also were asked to leave the school. Since the strike began, some instructors have conducted classes in homes and offices for non-striking students. Antioch, founded in 1853, is considered one of the nation's more liberal colleges. It requires each student seeking aid to borrow the first $1,000 of tuition and earn another $500 in a work-study program. The balance of tuition comes from a federal grant.
