SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1976 Big Spenders Attacked By Republicans, Dems THE DAILY COURIER, CONNELLSVILLE, PA. United Preu International High government spending is coming under fire from both sides in the race for the White House. Jimmy Carter, the Democratic presidential nominee, told reporters in Plains, Friday that many of the social programs he has promised may be delayed, if that's what it takes to balance the budget. "There will be no new programs implemented under my administration unless we can be sure the cost of those programs is compatible with my goal of having a balanced budget at the end of my term," Carter said. "If it requires a delay in implementing welfare reform or health care in order to accomplish the goal I set of a balanced budget, then those delays will be there," Carter said.

Sen. Robert Dole, the GOP vice presidential nominee, attacked Carter for making President Ford's vetoes an issue. Dole told the National Conference of State Legislatures in Kansas City that Carter's "persistence on this point indicates a Diocese Gives Funds To Area Organizations GREENSBURG--Conn-Area Catholic School received nearly $5,600 from the Extraordinary Fund for Needy Parishes and Other Groups for the Catholic Diocese of Grecnsburg. The money was given for improvements at the school, according to Father P. Lino Ramellini of Monessen, chairman of the fund board of review.

The grants were approved by Bishop William G. Connare. Concerned of Pennsylvania, located in Dunbar, received $1,000 for its VARNISH (Volunteer Are Regularly Needed In Self- Hclp Housing) program. The interdenominational program has assisted about 100 rural families to improve housing with the help of high school volunteers. The grant will go toward the purchase of tools, insurance and cots for volunteer living quarters.

Other groups receiving part of the $21,500 disbursement were St. Joseph School in New Kensington, Monessen Catholic School, Creekside Volunteer Fire Department, Operation Up-Lift of Indiana County, Birthright of Indiana County, Meals on Wheels of Kittanning and the Newman Center of Indiana.

Dole defended Ford's S3 vetoes as "an effort to restore fiscal responsibility and taxpayers' money to taxpayers', pockets." Dole noted that Carter, as governor of Georgia, had vetoed 154 bills. The White House announced that Ford will makf; his first major campaign appearance the week beginning Sept. 12 with a speech at his alma mater, the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Carter plans to kick off his campaign one week earlier with Labor Day appearances at Warm Springs, Ga. site of Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Little White House" and the Southern 500 stock car race in Darlington, S.C. Carter noted that the Labor Department reported unemployment in August climbed to 7.9 per cent the highest this year despite Ford administration predictions it would drop below 7 per cent by December. Unemployment under Ford, Carter said, was "the highest since the Hoover Depression." He added that Ford was offering "no strong leadership in actually making proposals that would cut down on inflation and unemployment rates." Press Secretary Ron Nessen said Ford was disappointed with the jobless report but remained "firm in his belief that his policies will sharply reduce unemployment and increase employment in the Jeonnette Youth Dead In Cycle- Tractor Crash GREENSBURG--A motorcycle-farm tractor accident claimed the life of a 17- year-old Jeannette, R.

Gwynn's death marks the 41st traffic fatality in Westmoreland County in 1976. Police estimated damage to the motorcycle at $200. year ahead." Dole said Carter's programs would "take $1,000 from everyone through higher taxes if the Democratic platform is enacted." Dole said Carter may not be serious about tax reform because of the former governor's use of the investment tax credit to take more than $41,000 off his 1975 tax liability. Dole termed this a "nice little take." Connellsville Continued From Page 1 John the Baptist School of Scottdale and Uniontown Area Christian Day School.

(Courier Photo) Two Yablonski Killers Get Life Prison Terms WASHINGTON, Pa. (UPI) Two of three Cleveland men who shot and killed United Mine Workers reform leader Joseph "Jock" Yablonski, his wife and daughter on Dec. 31, 1969 have been sentenced to life terms in prison.

Convicted triggerman Paul E. Gilly was given three concurrent life sentences and fellow assassin Claude E. Vealey a single life term Friday by Washington County Court Judge Charles G. Sweet. The third triggerman, Aubran "Buddy" Martin, fired his attorney and will not be sentenced until November.

Sweet accepted a recommendation by special prosecutor Richard Sprague for leniency since Vealey and Gilly cooperated in the conviction of others in the case, notablv one-time UMW president W.A. "Tony" Boyle, now behind bars for life. "I do not hesitate to say that but for the cooperation of this witness (Vealey), the other prosecutions may not have occurred," Sprague told Sweel in praising Vealey's "willingness to tell the truth." Sprague also said the testimony of Gilly led to the convictons of the other UMW officials who conspired in the murders -William J. Prater and Albert Pass, both of the UMW's Kentucky-Tennessee district. After his trial, Gilly originally was sentenced to death by the jury.

The sentence was reduced Friday because of Gilly's cooperation and because of court rulings over the constitutionality of the death penalty. As with Boyle, Sweet could have sentenced Vealey, 33, and Gilly, 43, to three consecutive life terms with little chance for parole. Standing before the bench, each defendent expressed penitence. "I'm sorry for any part I had and for everything I Gilly said. "I'm sorry I took part in this crime," Vealey said.

"I cooperated the best that I could" Yablonski, his wife, Margaret, and their daughter, Charlotte, were shot to death in their Clarksville, farmhouse three weeks after Yablonski lost a bitterly contested UMW presidential election race to Boyle. Yablonski had vowed to go to federal court to have the election overturned. 'Legionnaire' Victim Brings Total To 29 Gospel Music Program DUNBAR--A gospel music program featuring the Messengers will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the Bible Truth Tabernacle. The program will be open to the public.

PHILADELPHIA (UPI) Scientists, looking for more clues to the cause of the mysterious "Legionnaires' Disease," today examined specimens from the 29th victim. The latest victim, J. Bruce Rogers, 60, manager of four Philadelphia Holiday Inns, died Friday afternoon at the Burlington County, N.J. Memorial Hospital. State Health Department spokesman Robert Costello said Rogers "was on the list" of legion disease victims, though an autopsy revealed he died of a blood clot on the left side of his brain and displayed no visible signs of pneumonia.

Symptoms of the Legionnaires' Disease closely resemble those of pneumonia. Rogers, of Moorestown, N.J., had visited the Bellevue Stratford Hotel on at least two ocassions last July while the state American Legion Convention was in progress, Costello said. The cause of the mysterious ailment so far has been traced to the legion convention and to the Bellevue Stratford. Rogers was stricken with the disease last Aug. 15 and was admitted to Burlington County, N.J.

Memorial Hospital in critical condition Aug. 23. Costello said doctors performing the autopsy we 'e instructed to use non- contaminated, nonmetal instruments. There had been reports that tests performed on the other legion disease victims were inconclusive because the instruments were contaminated. Costello said specimens would be sent to the state laboratory in Philadelphia, the national Center for Disease Control in Atlanta and to the University of Connecticut Medical School where nickel carbonyi poisioning is being studied as a possible cause of the illness.

The CDC said Friday initial tests have ruled out food or drinks as the cause of the illness. In a publication called the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the CDC said a series of complicated medical tests have shown what didn't cause the disease. It indicated that so far, analysis of the extensive questionnaires answered by persons who had the disease has shown no patterns that could help unravel the mystery. It said extensive analysis of lung, kidney, liver and other tissues and tests for viruses, bacteria and other microorganisms have turned up nothing abnormal. Tests for toxic substances have eliminated poisonous metals, the report said.

The list of persons who meet the disease criteria totals 179. According to the CDC, 148 were American Legion conventioneers. Of the 142 that required hospitalization, seven are still in hospitals and one of them is critical. Women's Scream Foils Camper Theft Attempt RENO, Nev. (UPI) Mrs.
