The board also approved a mileage payment increase of two cents, bringing the rate up to the 10 cents per mile authorized by the state for projects it finances.

WASHINGTON (AP) Tlie Senate has voted $200 million in emergency relief funds for victims of tropical storm Agnes in the Eastern United States, doubling the amount requested by President Nixon. In a two-pronged effort to help flood- stricken areas, the White House asked Tuesday for urgent approval of $100 million in flood aid, and announced a two-day tour by Vice President Spiro Agnew of battered cities in Virginia, Maryland and New York.

The Senate acted almost immediately. The $200 million would be administered by the Office of Emergency Preparedness, which already has a disaster relief fund of $92.5 million. The House still must approve, although it was uncertain whether it would do so before recessing on Friday untilJuly 17. White House officials said the funds would be used for such things as repairing bridges, highways and other public facilities, and was "just a small portion" of the total aid available from 25 other agencies, including the Small Business Administration, which super- vises disaster loans to businessmen and homeowners. The Senate voted the funds through an Rather Ride Than Walk COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)- Three crane operators who would rather ride than walk up 26 levels have halted all steel erection at the new State Office Building here.

The three claim they are too exhausted to work after walking up to the 28th floor of the structure where the cranes are mounted. They haven't worked for two weeks. They used to take temporary elevators to the top, but a strike by elevator constructors closed the lift. A contractor spokesman said ironworkers on the job don't complain about the walk. "They run up those steps two at a time," he said.

The spokesman said the halt in steel erection hasn't dented the project's timetable. Cement for 17th level flooring now is being laid and there wont be any problem till the cement laying reaches the 26th floor. amendment offered by Sens. Hugh Scott, Richard Schweiker, R. and Charles Mathias, to a departmental appropriation bill.

It disregarded an objection from Sen. Joseph Montoya, who urged delaying action until the White House offered a more precise estimate of how much flood relief was needed. The five states suffering greatest damage from Agnes's floods were Maryland, Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania and Florida. The White House said the additional relief funds could also be used for aiding recovery from other disasters, including the recent flooding at Rapid City, S.D.
