The administration applied in March for the transfer of funds originally designated for the interstate highways to mass transit this March. The transfer is allowed under the amendment to the US Highway Trust fund passed in August, 1973. The amendment was a compromise between opening the whole trust fund to transit purposes and continuing to use it exclusively for highways. said.

"He was recommended to me by many in the New Bedford area and had long experience. I didn't know he'd play games," Sargent said. Although Sargent said he has appointed a few judges not approved by a separate ad hoc committee, set up in 1972, to help him fill the vacancies created by the amendment to the state constitution to require retirement of judges at age 70, all were approved by the bar association. Sargent said he had heard "few people who haven't said the appointments have been fine, quality appointments." to revamp state DPU By Jonathan Fuerbringer Globe Staff The Government Regulations Committee today unveiled a plan for the reorganization of the Dept. of Public Utilities which scraps both the present structure and Gov.

Francis W. Sargent's proposal for an administrative court. Under the committee's proposal, the current seven-member commission (one chairman and six part-time commissioners) would be replaced by five full-time, well-paid commissioners. The new chairman would get $37,500 more than some of the present state Cabinet secretaries while the four other commissioners would be paid $34,000. The chairman is now paid $20,010 and each commissioner $14,483.

In addition, the committee plan requires the DPU to submit to the Legisla-. ture a request for staffing that would "achieve a qualitative improvement in its capability to more effectively regulate the utility interest in the public interest." There is no price tag on this part of the reorganization. The report accompanying the reorg proposal says the DPU has never responded to the committee's request for details of its staffing needs. Sargent's DPU reorg proposal would split the current department into an Administrative Court and a new Public Utilities Administration. The three-judge court would decide the rates for gas, electric and telephone companies in the state.

The Utilities Administration, with a beefed-up staff, would analyize rate hike requests and appear before the court as an advocate for the consumer. Sargent also requested $750,000 for better DPU Staffing. "The real problem with the DPU has been known for a long time," said committee chairman Rep. Robert Ambler (D-Wey-mouth). "It is underfunded, understaffed and run by part-time, political appointees."

Transportation Secretary Alan Altshuler said that certain details of the Federal decision will be worked out in the next 30 days. These include provisions for repaying certain expenditures made on the withdrawn segments of the interstate highways funds in earlier years. Sargent and Altshuler said they were confident that after repayment of these expenditures the statte would be left with $670 million.

The governor said his plan could eventually expand to be "much more inclusive" without putting" all the compulsion on low income families." Sargent repeated a claim made by two of his staff members that last year he approached Senate President Kevin B. Harrington and House Speaker David M. Bartley with a plan similar to the one filed this week. "But they did not seem willing to accept any alternatives" -the governor said. Bartley and Harrington have denied any meetings took place."

Among them is the sale by Judge Young of certain furniture already owned by him to the county to furnish his office when he becomes a judge. It is against the law to use a public office for private gain. Sargent said Judge Young was involved in "business transactions surprising for a member of the judiciary." He said that his (Sargent's) counsel, William Young, made the determination that Judge Young had violated the "code of ethics."

Sargent told a State House press briefing that passage of his imbalance package is his top priority for the legislative session.

He claimed the US Department of Health, Education and Welfare HEW would "regard as innovative and tend to applaud" his plan for open enrollment, expanded Metco, the bonus plan and several promotion and recruitment programs. HEW officials have withheld Federal school aid from Boston because it operates a segregated school system. They rejected the state court-ordered busing plan for Boston because it i did not provide sufficient integration to meet Federal standards. Sargent admitted his plan would "provide fewer integrated schools and involve fewer schools" than the court plan. antss Wil Mon MBTA directors have awarded a $366,000 contract to S.
