PAGE FOUR THE DAILY COURIER, CONNELLSVILLE, PA. THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1975 Butz Unhappy With Retaining Of Private Grain Inspector System By BERNARD BRENNER WASHINGTON (UPI) Opposition from White House budget officials apparently has doomed a recommendation by Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz that private inspectors be eliminated from the scandal-plagued grain inspection system, Agriculture Department sources say. Butz himself, in a Voice of America interview recorded Wednesday for broadcast this week, predicted the administration probably would propose a more limited reform in which private inspectors are retained but placed under more intense federal supervision. Butz last month indicated he was leaning toward proposing creation of a Agents Relate Summer Recreation Swim Meet at CAHS The annual summer recreation playground swim meet was -held Wednesday at the Connellsville Area High School swimming pool. South Connellsville playground emerged the winner for the second consecutive year.

This is a view of swimmers starting one of the events. The meet was supervised by Thomas Dolde and Samuel Beeghley. South Connellsville compiled 45 Connellsville Continued From Page 1 teachers, five substitute nurses, and one librarian were approved along with 32 secondary school teacher substitutes, four nurese and one librarian. Two teacher aides resigned: Mrs. Betty Vaughn, Connellsville Area High School and Mrs.

Deborah A. Knopsnider, Saltlick Elementary School. Mrs, Patricia R. Tinkey was elected an aide at Saltlick Elementary School. Mrs.

Lorraine Taylor, a high school cafeteria employe retired. The hourly wage rates schedule for the district building aides and personnel were approved as were salary schedules for board secretary, supervisor of maintenance and custodial services, plant engineer, maintenance supervisors and school superintendent. Conventions Board approval was given for members to attend meetings of Pennsylvania -School Boards Association Oct. 15-17 and the National School Boards Association, 'April 10-13, 1976. Auction The school district wants to get rid of some of its unused equipment, but doesn't intend to give it away.

I Board members authorized school administrators to proceed with setting up a time and place for the auction and contact Samuel Glassburn of Bullskin Township to serve as auctioneer. Authorization was given to advertise for bids on the sale of a 1954 pickup truck and transportation costs only were authorized for the high school band to participate in three festivals: Thomas Jefferson Marching Band Festival, Pleasant Hills, Saturday, Sept. 13; Waynesburg College pre-game and half-time performance, Saturday, Oct. 4 and Indiana University of Pennsylvania homecoming parade Saturday, Oct. 18.

A supplemtntal salary schedule for school activities responsibilities was given approval. Purchasing Milk supply contracts were awarded to Westland Dairy of Greensburg to supply milk to Junior High East, Bullskin Township, Dunbar Township, Saltlick, South Side, Springfield, South Connellsville, Dunbar Borough, Crawford and Connellsville Township Elementary Schools and Quality Dairy of Connellsville to supply Connellsville Area High School, Junior High West, Zachariah Connell and Dawson-Vanderbilt Elementary Schools. Gasoline, oil and fuel oil bids were tabled for further study and action to be taken at the September board meeting. Directors noted most of the bids included the wording, "subject to price changes," several made their offering's at amounts "off posted retail price." Since the district does not have its own bulk gasoline storage tank, school-owned vehicles have to go to the service station to have their tanks filled. After looking at the quoted prices in each category, belief it would be wiser to recheck all offerings before taking definite action.

The advisability of installing a bulk gasoline storage tank was also discussed, but no decision was made. Laurel Ford was awarded the contract for a new pickup truck at $3,240. It was the only bid received. No bids were received on coal.

By LCB PITTSBURGH (UPI) Three Liquor Control Board agents testified Wednesday their former supervisor ordered them to falsify reports and omit violations against a beer distibutor and punished them by keeping them sitting aU day in the office without any work to do. The agents testified at a Civil Service Commission hearing on an appeal by Alex Konick of his dismissal as former head of the LCB's regional enforcement office in Pittsburgh. Konick was fired by the LCB July 14 on charges he used a double standard in enforcing liquor laws. Testifying at the hearing were LCB agents Edward M. Fatla, Richard Turzai and Sam Cangey Jr.

Falta said Konick ordered him to falsely submit daily activity reports on days Falta was off. Turzai testified he was threatened by Konick when he requested permission to conduct a spinoff investigation of a Dravosburg tavern to include a beer distributor who was selling beer on credit, a state liquor law violation. Cangey testified he reported five violations against the same distributor but Konick refused to accept the report, which Cangey said should have been sent to Harrisburg. All three agents said that as punishment Konick had them sit in the office at various times without any assignments. They used the time to read magazines and play cards, they said.

Wildcat Strikers Face Added Fines For Defying Order LOGAN, W. Va. (UPI) --Southern West Virginia coal miners faced the possibility of additional fines today by ignoring a federal court order to end a wildcat strike which started Monday in Logan County. About 4,000 miners were off the job on the third day of the walkout after pickets spread into neighboring Boone and Kanawha counties. In U.

S. District Court at Charleston, Judge K. K. Hall levied a $6,000 fine Wednesday against United Mine Workers Ixxral 1302. That local, along with Locals 5854 and 8454, were also ordered to appear before Hall Friday to explain why they shouldn't be held in contempt of the judge's order to halt the walkout.

The strike began in protest of the dismissal of local union leader Roger Thompson, fired for picketing when Amherst Coal Co. closed two deep mines and opened a strip mine instead to fill a large order of coal for power companies. Amherst went to court after accusing the strikers of not following UMW contract procedures dealing with a worker's dismissal. Some of the picketing reportedly stemmed from a dispute over a delay in setting up a 10-member arbitration panel to hear greivances. That issue and other' complaints were aired last Sunday when about 700 miners met at Marmet with UMW President Arnold Miller.

Officials said Bute's idea has been turned down by the White House Office of Management and Budget because it would mean hiring 900 federal employes, although much of the cost would be covered by grain inspection fees. Officials said USDA planners are drafting a proposal under which about 200 to 300 additional federal supervisors would be hired to check on the private and state inspectors.

Conflict of interest rules for the private inspection agencies would be tightened. The rules would be designed to take care of cases in which inspection is handled by a board of trade whose members include grain companies that get their shipments inspected, a source said. Under existing law, grain inspection is handled by about 2,800 federally licensed employes of private and state inspection agencies. Their work is spot-checked by a small force of about 226 supervisors (I Obituaries MRS. GEORGE MICHER Mrs.
