Backed by a favorable Supreme Court decision, Richmond, Sarasota-Bradenton, Huntsville, and Saginaw, are placing a $1 dollar departure tax on each airline passenger. The court has ruled that the Keystone Cente a Lebanon based chain of 78 retail stores was recently commended for its contributions to the flood stricken area of northeastern Pennsylvania. A letter sent to Frank J. Dixon, president of Keystone Centers, from Brig.

Gen. Harry J. Mier, acting adjutant gneeral at indiantown Gap Military Reservation reads in part: On behalf of the Governor, I would like to express the gratitude of the people of Wilkes-Barre for your generous gift of assorted toilet articles valued at approximately $25,000. This is precisely the kind of supplies that this stricken aera needs. Keystone Centers, operating under th enames of Keystone, Bargiantown and Sterling stores, was itself a victim, of the flood.

The chain suffered major losses in four of their stores but the awareness of the critical need for soaps, cleansers, antiseptics, disinfectants and similar items prompted officials of Keystone to donate the much needed supplies to the citizens of the ravaged area. Arrangements for pickup and distribution of the goods were made with the Penna. National Guard Emergency Operations Center at Indiantown Gap.

Daleys supporters said they too were going to the Supreme Court. Burger has several choices: He can convene the court (four of the nine justices are not in Washington) to hear the appeal; he can refuse to hear the appeal, or he can grant a stay of the order as the Supreme Court Justice assigned to the District of Columbia. Joseph A.

Califano, the national committees counsel, argued that the Supreme Court has met in emergency sessions for cases not as compelling and said there was time enough for the high tribunal to rule before the convention opens, Asked at a brieifing for reporters what would happen if the Supreme Court let the Circuit Court of Appeals decision stand, Califano said, obviously nobody controls the Democratic convention. But he added that the partys leadership would strongly urge delegates to abide by the law of the land. If the Supreme Court should rule against McGovern and strip him of 153 of Californias delegates and the judgment is sustained by the convention, the front-runner for the nomination would still lead on the first and second ballots but his chances for going over the top would be severely damaged. McGovern has threatened not to support the partys presiden tial candidate if that candidate won the nomination in an undemocratic manner. That could leave the Democratic presidential nomination with badly divided and bitter party going into the fall campaign cities can put the money into a fund to be used for construction and i mprovements of their airports.

But a sixth city Philadelphia; has carried its head tax program a step farther. It is) taxing passengers $2 on arrival; and $2 for departures. And the money will not go into an airport fund, but will be used as part of the citys general revenues. According to the Air Transport Association (ATA), a trade organization representing the major domestic airlines, 12 other cities have enacted head tax proposals, but are not implementing them as yet. Another 24 cities are considering levying a head tax on airline passengers, the spokesman said.

But the taxpayer is not taking kindly to the idea of buying an airline ticket and then paying to land or depart from an airport. Philadelphia began enforcing the tax this week, triggering long delays at airport terminals and irritating passengers to the point where they refused to pay the tax. According to ATA, 2,092 passengers boarded flights at Philadelphia International airport July 1, the date the went into effect. Some 757 passengers flatly refused to pay. On July 2, 1,450 boarded flights and 609 declined to pay the added tax.

Philadelphia officials, however, have accused the airlines of trying to sabotage the city tax by allowing passengers to sign waivers asserting their refusal to pay the tax. According to the airlines, once a passenger signs the waiver the airline cannot refuse to allow him to board the plane. But Philadelphia officials said passengers who refuse to pay passengers who refuse to pay the tax will be warned that they are subject to fines ranging up to $300 and ould face jail terms up to 90 days. But the airline industry is hopeful Congress will act to head off the confrontation. Under a bill before the Senate Aviation subcommittee, state and local head taxes would be barred even if the money is used for airport improvements and construction.

In the House, a bill calls for an 18-month moratorium on the head taxes give he Civil Aeronautics Board time to study the controversy. Eight Property Transfers Are Recorded Here REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) The president of the. World Chess Federation (FIDE) said today the 1 much postponed match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky may finally get underway Sunday. Another chess official warned, however, that things can still go wrong. Dr.

Max Euwe, president of FIDE, said the match will start on Sunday or at the latest Tuesday. He said he felt the major outstanding differences had been settled at a meeting between FIDE, the Icelandic organizers and Spasskys advisers early today. Lothar Schmid, the FIDE referee for the match, wasnt so optimistic. This is if everything goes according to plan, he said. Things can still go wrong.

Fischer, a 29-year-old chess genius from Brooklyn, is challenging Spassky, a Russian, for the world championship Spassky now holds. The match originally was to have started last Sunday but Fischer failed to show up in time, touching off a furor. Schmid said the draw of lots to decide who ist play white in the first of the 24 games in the $250,000 match will be held tonight (4 p.m. EDT). Euwe said a new meeting, also involving Fischers advisers, will be held today.

He said he felt the Soviet demand for a penalty for the American challenger for showing up late for the start of the match might be settled later1 at the FIDE congress in Skopje, Yugoslavia. But Schmid said the Soviet demand that Fischer forfeit the first game and a crucial point in the battle for the world ittle was still not completely solved. Chess sources said Gudmun-dur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic chess organization, was communicating with the Soviet Chess Federation in Moscow concerning the demand. One other point to be settled was Spasskys demand for a signed apology from Fischer. No such document has yet been presented to the Russian world champion but Euwe said he was satisfied that it would be forthcoming.

Fischer presented an apology of sorts when he broke his silence with a statement regretting the delay of the match. Fischer said it was not Spasskys fault that the match had been delayed and said he respected grandmaster Spassky asa player and man. Russian officials said the statement was expected to satisfy Spassky if delivered to him with Fischers signature attached. Euwe already fulfilled two other Soviet demands Wednesday night when he issued a condemnation of Fischers behavior in failing to turn up in time and also admitted that he himself had violated FIDE rules by granting a postponement of the first match. Fischer has not yet visited the hall to inspect the Eight recent county property transfers have been recorded in deeds filed here.

Democrats, on the other hand have an entirely different problem to cope with in political terms. For one thing, the Democrats are the majority party in both the House and Senate and the obligation to make the government function is squarely theirs.

One lesson Democrats should have learned in their long history as the minority party in the legislative halls is that its really no fun to be the majority. A majority has to get things done if it wants to remain a majority. Trust-Fund Income Is Paid To School District Officials of the Hershey Trust trustees for the Milton S.

HARRISBURG The pleasant thing about observing budget fights as unfold each year on Capitol Hill is that more often than not, they are highly predictable. They are highly predictable because they are highly repetitious. If you have been subjected to the rhetoric once, youre quite likely to be subjected to the same thing again and again and again and again, ad infinitum, so long as you remain in the confines of the Capitol. Seldom if ever does the dialogue change in its fundamental thrust. Only the voices who utter the lines and the numbers they kick around.

What services to distinguish 1972 from 1971, is the one undisputed fact in all this oratory: 1972 is an election year where 1971 was not. That fact alone makes this debate so important in political terms for what is at stake in this war of words and numbers is political control of the General Assembly. One should not scoff lightly at the importance of political control in government because political control carries with it a political philosophy and a government without a philosophy is really no government at all. IT IS not our intention here as a matter of primary importance to delve in any depth into the substantive merits of the argu ments being waged over the $3:6 billion budget request unveiled by Governor Shapp two months ago. Boiled down to its most elementary terms, the budget as submitted by His Excellency is some $440 million higher than that of the current fiscal year.

The Republican minority in the General Assembly is predictably against it while the Democratic majority, by and large, has not yet been heard from. To fully grasp the meaning of the rhetoric, one must first fully understand the posture of the combatants. One fact central to this understanding is that it is to the long-range political interest of the Republican Party to extend this confrantation for so long as possible. The longer the debate wages on, the better the opportunity for the Grand Old Party to establish itself and in the process, its candidates for the General Assembly as the political party in Pennsylvania in favor of tax cuts and against higher government spending. That, if public attitudes are correctly assessed, is not exactly a bad tune to be humming right now throughout the land.

Heavy Rains Trigger New Slides In Japan TOKYO (UPI) Heavy rains sweeping over Western Japan since Tuesday triggered new landslides in central Kyushu Island today. Police said gl persons in 21 houses' were buried alive in Ebino city of Miyazaki prefecture (state) when the slide hit.

Police said rescue work by a team of -some 50 policemen was still underway. 11 THE philosophical split, in the House and Senate Democratic caucuses is well known.

A bloc of some 20-to-30 upstate and-or rural Democrats in the House and five-to-six in the Senate is a mighty force, indeed, to win over. This is not to suggest that it is impossible since it was done a little over a year ago when Republicans unrelentingly held out any support for the first Shapp tax program. It is to suggest that it will be exceeding-ing difficult and take an agonizing amount of time. Republicans are quite familiar with the experience. They suffered through similar ordeals of tax increases and higher budgets in 1963-64 and 1967-68 with Messrs.
