"The initial effort required to provide the analysis of regulations will be overwhelming at a time when tlie department, in addition to all of it.s other duties, must devote major efforts to planning for the relief of the Commonwealth's flood victims.

Shapp Monday handed out the first of some 254.000 checks to be distributed this summer under Pennsylvania's new tax rebate system for senior citizens. The lax refunds under the new Senior Citizens' Property Tax Assistance Act go to senior citizens, widows over age 50 and disabled persons from state lottery profits. Shapp said the average rebate i be $110 and will total S2G million for the first group of recipients this year. Shapp said although this tax rebate for property owners is "tax relief in action" it should to extended to cover more persons. "I am not completely satisfied with the provisions of this act," be said.

"I have announced my intention to have this act amended so that many more of our senior citizens can qualify." "One way I have suggested is (o alter the definition of family income so that it applies only to the head of household and his spouse," he said. Shapp said lax reform for the elderly should be broadened so that renters also would be eligible for refunds.

The anticipated legal action has scandal potential that could shake the foundations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. I a i a i be prepared "within a couple of weeks or so," the source said, to prove in court that two USDA officials forged federal meat inspectors' signatures on documents tlie USDA is using as proof for the need for a a a inspection in the state.

a i i authoritative source, is the story behind the brewing collision: Beginning just a day before the recent disastrous Pennsylvania floods, more than a score of a inspectors began what proved to be a two-week spat check of 173 meat processing plants in the state. Tlie federal inspectors -working for USDA were acting under provisions of the 19S7 Federal Clean Meat Act, which provides that by the end of 1970 all states had to adopt and implement inspections standards at least as rigorous as those provided in the federal act. The act also provided that where USDA officials find slate standards below the federal guidelines, a agency is empowered to take over meat i i i state. a dersecretary of A i Richard Lyng called McHale to report the federal inspection team had found federal a i a a deviations at 112 of the 173 plants. Then, without notifying Pennsylvania officials, USDA publicly announced plans to lake over meat inspection in the state based on results of the spot checks.

Last week, in reviewing the a i a i of which attacked purity, but rather concentrated on such peripheral considerations as tile size of doors in some rooms of meat processing factories), Pennsylvania officials became suspicious.

Artillery round kills general Enemy holds grip on city SAIGON (UPI)-South Vietnamese paratroopers regrouped on the outskirts of Quang Tri city Monday, temporarily leaving (he northern capital in the hands of entrenched North Vietnamese forces who appeared determined to hold it, U.S. advisers said. Far (o the south, a Communist artillery round killed U.S. Brig. Gen.

Richard J. Tallman and three other Americans as they inspected the besieged city of An l.oc, the U.S. command said. Two other Americans were wounded by the same shell. U.S.

fighter-bombers stepped up their raids over North Vietnam Sunday, the command spokesmen said. More than 300 "tactical air strikes" and four waves of heavy H52s hit the North from the Demilitarized Zone to within 70 miles of China. UPI correspondent liarney Seibert, reporting from I.a Vang, two miles south of Quang Tri, said U.S. advisers told him "the North Vietnamese are determined to hold" the city. The advisers, who were with the.

South Vietnamese airborne unit that unexpectedly pulled out of Quang Tri Sunday, said the citv was in ruins. "1 saw only one building standing," an officer said. But despite the heavy pounding by North and South Vietnamese artillery, U.S. naval gunfire and American air strikes--including a B52 raid within the city limits Sunday, about 500 Communist (roops remained in deep fortified bunkers, the advisers said. The American soldiers said (be bunkers, built since the Communists took the city May 1.

were "unbelievably" strong. "1 saw a bunker which a 500- pound bomb landed within 20 meters of," an officer told Seiberl. "It had no effect." N. Viet negotiator willing to study new peace plan A I I I 1 Wnrth i ''ll'n i tlin. PARIS (UPI)-North Vietnam's chief nego(iator, Xuan Thuy, arrived Monday for resumption of the peace talks and said the Communist side would "gladly examine" new American proposals but still considers the Viet Cong's plan the basis for any Vietnam settlement.

Presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger said Saturday he had "some reason to believe" that North Vietnam was ready for "serious negotiations" to end the war when the talks resume Thursday after a 10- week suspension. Thuy, speaking to newsmen at the airpor(, mixed tough talk with promises of good will and a serious negotiating attitude. He said Hanoi hoped a negotiated settlement in Vietnam could be reached if the Americans also displayed good will. "We consider thai the seven- point plan of the (Viet Cong) Revolutionary Provisional Government is the correct basis for a settlement," Thuy said.

"but we will gladly examine any new American proposals that may be made to us in a few days." U.S. negotiator William Porter suspended the talks May 4 on orders from President Nixon, charging the Communist delegations did not want to negotiate seriously. i agreed to restart the talks after Kissinger's recenl trip to Peking. "We come to the negotiating table with a serious attitude and good will." Thuy said. "We are sure that if (he American side shows the same attitude we can rapidly reach a peaceful settlement." Despite the promise of goodwill, Thuy gave no indication of a softer Communist line when he and Viet Cong negotiator Mine.

Nguyen Thi Binh actually sit down opposite Porter and the South Vietnamese Thursday. Hanoi has made resumption of weekly regular sessions a condition for renewed private meetings with representatives outside of Paris. There was speculation Tbo's return might bring new private meetings. Thuy repeated some parts of the Viet Cong peace plan, which has been rejected by bolh (he United States and South Vietnam. Among the points he mentioned were demands that the United States stop supporting a Saigon government "to which the U.S.

gave birlh, or any other one" and that the Americans withdraw all forces, including military instructors. A captured North Vietnamese soldier reported thai despite the American effort to cut (he Communist supply lines, his unit in Quang Tri was receiving both supplies and fresh troops up until at least three days ago. The U.S. command launched a total of nine waves of B52 bomber attacks within 10 miles of the city Sunday night and Monday morning, spokesmen said. Officers reported that small South Vietnamese reconnaissance learns left behind in the provincial capital 4fM miles north of Saigon were coming under sporadic attack.

Outside the city, nine separate ground battles were reported between Vietnamese troops and government paratroopers and marines. Communist shot down an American AIM Cobra helicopter 11 miles Southeast of Quang Tri Saturday, the U.S. command reported, but both crewmen were rescued unharmed. The bulk of 178 U.S. air strikes flown Sunday in the northern provinces of South Vietnam aided government ground forces in their battles, along witli (lie guns of eight U.S.

Navy sliips and 12 B52 strikes, spokesmen said. Pilots reported knocking out nine tanks, six big Communist field guns and 13 (rucks in the air strikes Sunday, Tallman, deputy adviser to Hie 11-province region around Saigon, was the first American general killed in action in Vietnam since May 12, 1970, when Maj. Gen. John Dillard, commander of U.S. Army Engineers, died in a helicopter shot down by the Viet Cong.

Unofficial records show that Tallman was the eighth general killed in the war. Orders state to buy 295 school buses Judge pushes desegregation rule DETROIT District Judge Stephen J. Roth Monday ordered the state of Michigan lo purchase 295 school buses to prepare for a possible cross-district busing program to integrate metropolitan Detroit area schools this fall. Roth also denied the stale's request to delay further action on the Detroit case pending the outcome of appeals of his ruling of last September that Detroit's predominantly black schools were segregated by official action or inaction. In ordering ilie Detroit board of education to order the buses and the state to pay for them, Roth swept aside protests from attorneys for the state who argued that there was no stale constitutional or legislative authority lo pay for the buses.

The 2S)5 buses, at about $10,000 apiece, would cost the stale nearly $3 million and could be used to transport approximately 20,000 students in an interim desegregation plan for Detroit and 62 predominantly white suburbs.

Residents of the United States--if they look (he trouble to look at the sun through smoke tinted glass--witnessed a partial eclipse as the shadow raced across the Earth's surface al more than 1,000 miles an hour. The speeding phenomenon lasted for two hours and 13 minules elapsed time, beginning at 3:32 pjn. EDT in the Orient and fading out at 5:45 EDT in the Atlantic, according to the llayden Planetarium in New York.

In Ihe continental United States, except for Alaska, the eclipse was not very dramatic. "Unless you knew about it, you'd i it was just gelling a little dark--a decrease in light from the sun," said Dr. Franklyn a 1 Hayden chairman. There was a 14 per cent blackout of the sun in San Francisco, 63 per cent in Chicago, 90 per cent in Boston, and 91 per cent in Fail-banks, Alaska. The Greek Line cruise ship Olympia set sail from New- York Saturday on an "Eclipse Cruise" thai took passengers lo Ihe path of Ihe lolal eclipse about 900 miles easl of New York.

Al ils longest, in a remote region near the Artie Circle, the moon hid the sun entirely for two minutes and 36 seconds. From land, sea and air, scientists using sophisticated instruments--including rockels carrying electronic observation gear--tracked the eclipse, An Air Force research jet the Los Alamos, N.M., Scientific Laboratory took off to intersect totality close to Fort Churchill on Hudson Bay and chase Ihe shadow for almost (our minutes. It was prepared lo check the temperature and chemical compostion of the sun's corona, Ihe halo visible as- Ihe moon blocks out Ihe body of the sun. During the eclipse, the moon's shadow traveled at an actual speed of 2,100 miles an hour. Hul since Ihe earth's rotation was in the same direction at the equator at 1,040 m.p.h.

Hoth said his order to purchase the buses was necessary at this time despite lhe- fact that his final order lo integrate (he schools has not been issued. The panel advised him that buses had to be purchased now because they would not be available later. "The panel is persuaded, as I have been, (hat if we arc to go about the business of desegregation, we are going lo have to make movement and fast lo acquire (he necessary transportation," Roth said. The panel did not recommend lhat students would be bused or from what schools in the metropolitan area.

That recommendation is not due until tin- pane! submits its final proposal to Roth July 29. Eugene Krasicky, assistant Michigan attorney general, pointed out that if the state buys the buses and Roth is reversed by a higher court, then the slate of Michigan will be stuck wilh buses il docs not need.
