SATURDAY, MARCH 1977 THE DAILY COURIER, CONNELLSVILLE, PA. Fund Reporting Unresolved HARRISBURG (UPI) The questions about how the members of the Houae and Senate spend public money are far from settled. True, the lawmakers in both houses recently adopted new rules requiring more detailed disclosure than ever before of how they spend our money and who they nave on the payroll. But the senators and representatives still should clean up their self-imposed guidelines over how that money can be spent. And they should also provide for more effective auditing of the accounts.

Legislative expenses are governed by a book of regulations known as the counting manual. This manual basically outlines legitimate expenditures for which lawmakers can be reimbursed. It all sounds very proper. But don't be fooled, because it's a kind of Catch 22 which says that legislators can only be reimbursed for expenditures allowed by the accounting manual, which is written by the legislators. A recent Philadelphia Inquirer story on Senate expenses since last July 1 shows Continued From Page 1 special meeting Friday said they will lose 12 to 14 days pay because of the change.

Many bus drivers have other jobs and some work their own farms. The revised run schedules will throw their schedules out of kilter, Pritts said. In the meantime another meeting is being set up for board members to discuss the problem with bus contractors. No time or date for that session has been set i because some school directors were out of town when the question arose and could not be contacted. "So we'll have to call that session just as soon as possibly can," Pritts said Friday afternoon.

Some teachers preferred running to June 22. But supporters of the longer day plan won out at the ratification meeting. Pritts said now the only problem remaining is getting the bus drivers-approximately 75 of them--to agree to the earlier morning starts and later afternoon return runs. The lengthy meeting late Friday morning that ran until well past noon was attended by contractors and some drivers and wound up with a meeting between administrators and contractors. The special board committee meeting being arranged by Pritts will be for board members and contractors.

Parents have been notified of the earlier starts and later returns, Pritts said. Murphy Continued From Page 1 ment chauffeurs. A check with federal agencies shows that three of the four license plate numbers copied by Murphy were assigned to three different departments. The fourth was a car leased by the Chrysler Corporation. The three government cars were assigned to the U.S.

Navy and the Departments of State and Transportation. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and the director of the Transportation Department's Federal Railroad Administration were among officials testifying in the Rayburn Building that day. Secretary of Defense Harold Brown and a number of Navy officials were also giving testimony. "I did the same thing to (Pennsylvania) State Police cars," Murphy said of his anti-idling days in the state legislature. Murphy wrote to the governor but saw no improvement.

He has yet to hear from Carter. "I think what they (chauffeured officials) should do is instruct their drivers to turn the motor off and go inside and wait for them if it is cold out," Murphy said. just how liberal the accounting manual is. "Legitimate" ways in which they spent tax money included: $181,626 on "freebies," including maps, calendars, pens, pamphlets and American Flag lapel pins for handing out to constituents. These are items that have nothing to do with making laws but could have something to do with getting them re-elected.

Committee meetings and dinners at expensive restaurants and then plenty of Alka Seltzer and Brioschi to settle their stomachs. They also bought gallons of Queen Helene Mint Shampoo and Youth Hair Conditioner for the Senate barbershop. The hiring of interior decorators to "do" their offices plus the essential equipment the decorators recommend, including lavish carpets, oil paintings and credenzas. Gifts from the leadership to their colleagues. One senator reportedly gave his colleagues 110,000 matchbooks with their names embossed on the covers.

(At the same time, one House member complained recently that he couldn't get extra copies of a bill printed because -Service Station Robbed by Armed Man Near City An undetermined amount of cash was taken by an armed bandit from the Mobil Service Station on Rte. 119, near Richard Chevrolet at 5:30 a.m. today, according to State Police at Gaddis Crossroads station. Troopers said a black man, appearing to be in his twenties, walked into the station, brandished a chrome .32 cal. revolver and demanded the money.

according to the printing clerk "we can't afford The freebies and gifts can hardly be considered necessary expenses. But they're considered legitimate because the accounting manual says they art. And when Price-Waterhouse, independent auditors hired to check the legislative books, challenge an expenditure as improper, the lawmakers have a way of handling that. They simply change the accounting manual. The legislators have delegated the authority and responsibility for writing the expense regulations to a separate legislative audit committee.

That should be changed. One worthy suggestion is that the lawmakers be required to vote on the provisions of the accounting manual, Just as they vote on the rules. The legislators would not only be accountable to the public for the provisions of the manual, but they would also have the opportunity to vote down or amend any expenses that seem improper. It also would be worth considering the idea of giving the auditor general's department the authority to audit the legislative accounts, just as it checks the books of the state departments and agencies. Under an attorney general's ruling, the auditor general cannot audit legislative accounts unless the legislature specifically gives him the power to do so.

It would be, in effect, one branch of government checking up on another an example of how our system of checks and balances should operate. And if the legislative expenses are proper, they would have nothing to fear.

Rose Pujia. PAGE THREE Pakistan Expecting Violence ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (UPI) Police and army troops girded for renewed bloody violence during a nationwide general strike called today to protest the opening session of a parliament allegedly elected through vote rigging. Some of the bloodiest rioting in Pakistan's history has swept nearly the entire nation, led by government opponents protesting the elections won overwhelmingly by Prime Minister Zulfikar Bhutto's Pakistan People's party. The opposition Pakistan National Alliance has claimed government troops have killed at least 60 persons in clashes with protesters who defied a government ban on demonstrations. The government has not released casualty figures.

Two persons were killed and three injured Friday when police opened fire on a crowd of demonstrators in the town of Mult'an, 265 miles southwest of Islamabad, sources said. In Lahore, the main office of the nine- party National Alliance said police arrested six of the party's nine leaders early Friday, including its president, Maulana Mufti Mehmood. The arrests apparently stemmed from the coalition's call for a nationwide general strike today to protest the opening session of the parliament elected in the March 17 balloting. Army troops were sent to occupy Hyderabad, the major city in Bhutto's home province of Sind, which has been torn by rioting for more than a week. Details of the trouble in Hyderabad were sketchy and a government spokesman said only that troops would maintain order.

Police used massive clouds of tear gas and charged with clubs to disperse protesters in Sialkot, Bahawalpur and several other cities in Punjab province. In Karachi, army tanks and troops enforced a curfew imposed by the government a week ago following clashes with demonstrators that the Alliance says killed more than 50 persons and injured hundreds. The Alliance has charged the new parliament is not a legitimate body because of "massive rigging" in the elections, and has demanded Bhutto's resignation and new elections under. military and judicial supervision.
