Moyer replied that the tax program to find those that should beon the tax rolls, didn't supply any information on young children, which would help the board decide how many elementary teachers are needed. He also said state forms want information that only a new census could provide.

John C. Richardson, conducting the -meeting in the absence of President Elmer Gall, noted that any occupation information collected could not be used for a tax until next year. The di-rectors gave the go ahead for the cen- sus which could cost the district up to $4,000. In other action, the board formally adopted a resolution calling for the col- lection of real estate taxes on a quarterly basis for construction of any new building or work that increases the market value of the property by $1,000. Also receiving formal approval was a policy change which allows the district to provide transportation costs, but all other expenses, for the trip such as meals must be paid by the individu- alsparticipating in the event.

The directors also passed a motion notifying the public that they intend to act on a resolution May 11 concerning the district's residential construction tax and calling for any filing or collection costs to be paid by the delinquent party in addition to the ten percent penalty already provided for in the act. In other action, the board agreed to waive a penalty fee on taxes that were not paid on time by Beatrice Renner. She told the board that she had delayed in paying the taxes to find out how much was owed, then received word that she owed a penalty. The board also turned down a request for an exemption from a fee for use of a high school band room. Kenneth Myers, director of the newly formed Littlestown Community Band, asked for the exemption of the $2.50 per hour fee for the monthly practices by the group.

The board, however, felt that other groups comprised of former students might seek similar exemptions. In other action the board approved: --moving the date of the May-meeting forward one week to May 11. --Stauffer to seek a $300,000 tax anticipation note for the upcoming school year. --a Rolling Acres Summer Library Program to run six weeks starting June 15. --the 1981-1982 school calendar.

Reagan's budget director. In an effort to build support for his revitalization proposals. Reagan and his top advisers have spent the last few months describing the economy as being in deep trouble and in need of -quick, dramatic remedies. However, the Commerce Department reported that the real gross national product the value of all goods and services produced in the quarter after discounting for inflation grew at an annual A figure was 2 had predicted?

Weidenbaum said private economists agree that the rest the year will see "a slQw-g The consensus economy will show a slight Decline in "the second quarter and an increase.of -about 1.5 percent for all of 1981. AVeidenbaum said. He added that'the brisk economic growth of the first quarter should not overshadow the fact that inflation pnd unemployment show little sign of near-term improvement." The growth rate, helped along by strong consumer spending, showed the biggest quarterly gain since a 9 percent rise recorded in the second quarter of 1978. Real GNP rose 3.8 percent in the final three months of 1980 as the economy recovered from a severe spring recession. For all of 1980.

the economy declined 0.2 percent, the first fullyear contraction since 1975. Commerce Secretary Malcolm Baldrige acknowledged that gloomier figures might improve chances of congressional passage of tax- spending-redatiti8hpropbsals. conceded that fast economic growth could revive fears of a new surge in infiati9n that might be fueled further by the 30 percent cut in personal income tax rates Reagan is proposing for the next three years. However. Stephen, Entin.

a deputy assistant treasury secretary for economic policy, said the rapid expansion of the economy in the first quarter makes "tax cuts even more important." "We're not trying to stimulatepqn-- which could bring worse" he said. "We're tryingjo crease capacity before the economy bumps into it and the squeeze forces a to growth." The administration's tax cuts are designed to increase savings and investment needed to expand facilities and create new jobs, he said. Those who see the tax cuts as merely stimulating demand, and thus adding to inflation, "are simply wrong." Entin said. Although most private economists predict growth will slow or stop in the April-June quarter. Washington economist Michael K.

Evans said at least some gain can be expected. "The economy is not really going to be much weaker in the second quarter." he said, though neither he nor the most optimistic other analysts are forecasting anything like another 6.5 percent gain. Several economists have pointed out that the first-quarter figure was high at least partly because of strong consumer spending, which could have been influenced by heavy promotional activities such as the successful auto- rebates program. One administration economist, who asked not to be identified, said the strong growth may have been spurred by anticipation of the business and individual tax cuts proposed by Reagari. The expected cuts motivated people 16 work harder and invest more, reasoned the economist.

"If Congress delays action on the may see a real slump." he said. "People may take the fourth quarter off and go skiing." Monday's report showed seasonally adjusted personal consumption up $54.4 billion in the first quarter, almost $6 billion more than the increase in af- tertax income. Analysts say Ameri- cans.aren't likely to keep up much longer a spending pace that exceeds rising income. Lottery Fix Scandal Updated By CARL MANNING Associated Press Writer HARRISBURG (AP) A year ago. it sounded so simple: rig the Pennsylvania Lottery drawing so a few people could get rich quick and nobody would be the wiser.

As it turned out. however, nobody got rich and eight people found themselves facing an array of criminal charges. The fatal flaw, investigators say. was greed and ignorance of the lottery system's intricacies. After several months' investigation, a statewide grand jury accused the eight of rigging the April 24.1980.

Daily Number drawing at WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh. Now. six of them plan to testify for the state. Only former television emcee Nick Perry and Edward Plevel. the suspended Lottery Bureau district manager, face a Common Pleas Court trial next month.

The grand jury concluded Perry, who hosted the nightly drawing, was the mastermind and Plevel was the inside man in the scheme which resulted in a record $3.5 million payout when the number Wj-6 popped up in the air machines used in the drawing. They are charged with theft by deception, rigging a publicly exhibited contest, criminal mischief, criminal conspiracy and perjury. Plevel also is charged with unsworn falsification. President Works To Rekindle Momentum On Economic Pkg. By DAVID ESPO Anociated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) A recuperating President Reagan, not yet ready to appear in public, is relymg on private meetings and telephone calls to help rekindle momentum in Congress for his proposed tax and spend- ingcuts.

The president invited seven governors to a private session in the living quarters of the White House today. and aides said he also was making his way gradually down a list of about two-dozen telephone calls to wavering members of Congress. The governors were Democrat Forrest James of Alabama and Republicans David Treen of Louisiana, Richard Thomburgh of Pennsylvania. James Rhodes of Ohio. Bill Clements of Texas, Robert Orr of Indiana and Pierre du Pont of Delaware They were described by White House officials as supporters of the administration's program and represented the outside group to meet with Reagan since he was wounded in an assassination attempt March X.

In addition, deputy White House press secretary Larry Speakes said the president his jotted down a few thoughts for a nationally br economic speech he intends to make in the new-future. No date has been set. but some aides say the address could come next week, when Congress returns from a two-week recess. Meanwhile. Speakes said Reagan now is spending about five hours a day working on official business.

On Monday, for example, he had two meetings with top aides Edwin Meese HI, James A. bbaker HI and Michael Deaver, received a written national security briefing, made a few phone callsto members of Congress and looked over paperwork. But he remained upstairs while his wife, Nancy, represented the first family at the annual Easter Egg Roll on file South Lawn, an event attended by thousands of children accompanied by Speakes indicated security concerns dictated that the president not attend, Reagan has not been seen by reporters or the public since he returned to the White House from the hospital on April 11. although his aides report he is making a strong recovery from a gunshot wound to his left lung. Speakes said he did not anticipate Reagan would return to the Oval Office this week.

"We're not pushing him. the doctors aren't pushing him and hell be his own judge," Speakes added. "If he wants to come he'll come." In the interim, administration officials concede that the momentum behind Reagan's economic package has slowed since the assassination attempt last month. Commerce Secretary Malcolm Baldrige also said he felt Reagan's recuperation has stowed the push on getting the administration's economic recovery program through the Congress. The president is asking for massive budget cots and a 3D percent, across-the-board cut in personal income taxes over (nree years to help revitalize the economy.

Investigators say il betting had been limited to about $100.000 every six months, the scheme perhaps could have gone undetected. But somewhere along the line, the grand jury says. Perry issued the order to "bet heavy" and that's exactly what happened. The grand jury said Peter Maragos. his brother James and wife Jean, purchased more than 10.000 Lottery tickets of various combinations of 6" fromatlcasta dozen locations.

Another brother. Jack Maragos. also purchased winning tickets, the panel said. So great was the ticket purchase, the grand jury said, that people were paid to cast part of the $1.2 million in winning tickets. During one court appearance.

Peter Maragos testified he borrowed $32.000 from a bank to buy tickets. Along with his brother. Jack, he was a partner with Perry in a food vending business. Peter Maragos also testified he and Perry discussed the scheme over the telephone and at the church they both attended. He said after the drawing, he delivered $35.000 to Perry at two meetings --one at a cemetary and the olher behind a shopping center Investigators also note tire accused apparently weren't aware the Lottery Bureau's computer system recorded the sales for that day revealing unusually heavy betting patterns on the numbers "4" and 6" the Philadelphia area In return for their testimony, Peter and Jack Maragos pleaded guilty to reduced charges in the hope of gaining a five-year probation sentence Under a similar agreement, charges against James and Jean Maragos will be dropped after they testify for the state.

U.S. Aid To El Salvador Tops Soviet WASHINGTON A With the bulk of U.S. military aid still to be sent. American arms shipments 'to El Salvador already have topped the tonnage of weapons that the Reagan administration contends Sovietbloc countries smuggled to leftist guerrillas. The Defense Department said Tuesday that the United States has sent 343.2 tons of military supplies to El Salvador since Jan.

1. That compares with an earlier State Department estimate of 200 tons of Soviet-bloc weapons in the hands of the guerrillas. U-S. charges that sophisticated Soviet-bloc weapons were being shipped to the guerrillas led to the Reagan administration's decision to increase arms shipments and dispatch 20 more military advisers to the strife-torn Centra) American nation. The flow of U.S.

weapons-and a reported drop in supplies to the guerrillas -appear to be having an impact on the civil war. Government troops have been on the offensive recently and the guerrillas have fallen bade to their mountain strongholds. American aid already in El Salvador is also only a fraction of the assistance in the pipeline for the ruling civilian-military junta. U.S military aid ranges from helicopters to M-16 automatic riftes. BLACK SCHOLARS VISIT--Michael J.
