LXl PENNSYLVANIA ST By MASON DENISON, Editor Pennsylvania News Service HARRISBURG Something new and unquestionably a bit Unique has been added to Pennsylvania's fiscal watchdog agency. It was last October that 1 endently-elected State Auditor General Robert P. Casey and the audit agency of the federal Department Health, Education and Welfare began exploring the possibility of some sort of inter-governmental cooperative working arrangement. Those explorations culminated recently in the assignment of Harry Ostrow a member of the HEW Audit Agency to Mr. Casey's staff for a one-year period, under provisions of the I nter-governmental Personnel Act of 1970 (Public Law 01-648).

Under the terms of this act, Mr. Ostrow will remain a federal employe on full-time assignment to the State Department of the Auditor General. He will be assigned to work with the other professionals hired by Mr. Casey within (he past year or so. Mr.

Ostrow has a broad background for this assignment the first of its type negotiated between the federal government and the Auditor General's Department. He is a graduate of Foreign Comment Military At Odds With Business On Red China Trade By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst For many years there has been a continuing argument as to whether the United States did itself more harm than good in restricting its trade with Communist nations. In the most extreme example, for 21 years not a spool of thread changed hands legally between the United States and Communist China until this spring when the Nixon administration relaxed its total ban on trade with the Chinese mainland. Within the government, natural antagonists have been the Commerce Department anxious to promote U.S. trade on the one hand and the Pentagon fearful of building up the war- the University of Baltimore and has had a total of 14 years accounting experience.

LIKE THE professionals now on the Auditor General's staff, including a dozen CPA's, with whom he'll chiefly be working, Mr. Ostrow is a Certified Public Accountant who has had five years of public accounting experience, along with extensive background with the U.S. Army Audit Agency, the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Social Security Administration, and HEW's Audit-Agency. With HEW, he has been involved in writing and revising audit policies, standards and procedures, as well as handling staff recruitment and training programs. Mr.

Casey believes that background will be useful to his department and that Mr. Os trow, in turn, will benefit from the exposure to state problems and procedures that will relate to his continuing work with the HEW Audit Agency when he returns to it 12 months from now. The Auditor General looks upon this first assignment as a challenge to make inter-governmental cooperation a real and effective working tool and not simply a well-meaning phrase.

In the past year or so, his goal as Auditor General also has been to introduce new ideas and approaches in the performance of his responsibilities particularly aimed at finding ways of increasing the flow of dollars into Pennsylvania's treasury without imposing additional taxes on the state's citizens. THAT IS why the Auditor General's Department has been emphasizing ways and means of collecting more efficiently and fairly the taxes now on the books and to generate new ways of producing revenues without saddling taxpayers with even higher taxes. The steady professionalization of his staff unquestionably has been a major factor in his efforts to make the function of his Department more dynamic and flexible so it can respond to the constant changes occurring in the way the Commonwealth spends its funds.

Zeiger, Campbelltown; Mary Grace Loose, 129 E. Locust Annville; Carlin Arnold, 242 Lehman George H. Merkel, By JOHN CUNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK (AP) Some of those unofficial but widely publicized statistical goals for the 1970s are already being cast aside as sober reflection suggests that they were spurious to jegin with or unattainable now. Most revered of these was the goal of reducing unemployment to four per cent without market inflation. It was upheld by both Republicans and Democrats, by researchers and decision makers until this month.

In his first public statement since being named chief eco nomic spokesman for the administration, Treasury Secretary John B. Counally scored the goal as a "myth" never achieved "except in wartime." At the time Connally dismissed the 4 per cent goal, the jobless rate was somewhere between 5.6 per cent and 6.2 per cent, figures conceded by the administration to be disappointingly high. The 4 per cent goal, had, in fact, already been ignored by the administration some months earlier. The 1971 Eco nomic Report specified a goa of 4.5 per cent by the middle of next year: The most controversial goa to go was the one calling for a Gross National Product $1.065 trillion for 1971. Private economists contended fo months that this was impos sible.

Now the administration agrees. Late last week Paul W. McCracken, chairman of the ouncil of Economic Advisers, leclared it "would be irrespon- ible" to try to push the economy hard enough to achieve that igure. It would have meant more inflation. And, with prices maintaining hot pace the wholesale price ndex rose at a rate of 4-10ths of one per cent last month com- with 3-10ths of one per cent in is less talk now of "controlling" inflation.

Another widely accepted goal was that of 2.6 million new lousing units a year for the 1970s. As the rate of housing starts remains just under 2 mil- ion, there is a tendency for goal to fade. Where did the 2.6-nullion goal come from? Before leaving of fice, President Lyndon B. John son said a program was nee clod provide 20 million new units in the 1970s, in addition to rehabilitating six million. The two figures eventually were combined by others into 26 million new units, and the resulting average of 2,6 million a year was used even by government spokesmen.

Analysis shows that the aims might have been set loo high, a tendency understandable enough when you consider that goals wouldn't be goals if they were easily achievable. But there is enough evidence around also to suggest that a host of goals are being forgotten today not because they were set too high but because the slow economic recovery makes them too painful to think about, Lebanon, Pa.

He is 94 and 4-feet-lt Sometimes he ROCS for a walk carrying hundreds of dollars. But the nonagenarian also carries a sawed-off broomstick and he can be a menace, a two would-be robbers found ou Tuesday.

They jumped the retired machinist as he walked toward a city lax office. Hidden in his clothing was $243 in cash for his school taxes. The robbers snatched 80 cents from his pocket as he lay on the ground. Before they could act close to the tax money, he began flailing away with his broomstick. "I really gave one of them a good shot he isn't likely to forget," Van Buskirk said after Ihe two had fled.

He was treated for two cuts on his forearm at a nearby hospital. Van Buskirk has been at tacked eight times in the last four years. "The only thing I have to do to pass the time is take a walk," he said. "But you just can't take the chance too often." Will Challenge USAF's Ban On Demonstrations LAKENHEATH, England (AP) Capt.

It was the first time an American serviceman was tried in Britain on charges of demonstrating. Servicemen abroad are banned from taking part in such demonstrations although they may do so in the United States while out of uniform and off duty. Culver said he would appeal his conviction and would take the case all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary.

Kurtz i £ft Sears there have been suggestions that the Soviets also are interested in the purchase of other items ranging from electrical appliances to pillows worth up to another SI billion. The Mack truck deal alone could more than double the annual trade between the two nations. Last year the United States sold $118 million worth of goods to the Soviets while purchasing some $72 million worth, mostly in raw materials. Through the United States gradually has reduced the list of items rated strategic and therefore banned from sale to the Communists, although not nearly at a pace as fast as that of its allies.

Casey was elected to the statewide office of Auditor General as a Democrat, the political affiliation seemingly has not watered down his determination to run his department as an "independent" agency regardless of who's in the front office as witness the several instances already when he has not hesitated to blow the whistle on the theoretically "fellow" Democratic administration of Governor Shapp. Sihanouk's Sons Go On Trial For Political Murder PHNOM PENH sons of deposed former chief of state Prince Norodom Sihanouk went on trial today on charges of political murder and helping the enemy.

Even though strongly opposed by the Pentagon, recent government action suggests ultimate approval of the Mack contract. In June it became known the government had decided to license shipment to the Soviet Union, of more than $50 million in equipment designed primarily for manufacture of light trucks, in itself a reversal of past policy. Recent Commerce Department figures show Soviet purchases of $144 million from the United Slates as against a total of $3.9 billion from the West as a whole.

An important part of the argument in favor of expanded U.S.-Soviet trade and with the remainder of the Communist bloc is that if the U.S. does not it to them, they can always get it somewhere else. among 13 persons on trial before a military court. The royal children were accused of helping terrorists in Phnom Penh, including an attack last year that destroyed a locomotive and freight car. Naradipo is already serving a five year sentence on conviction of high treason.

Sihanouk himself was sentenced to death for treason in his trial in absentia last July. He heads a Cambodian government-in-exile in Peking. Ranarith, a former university law student was arrested at his home Dec. 21 and has been under house detention since. At Naradipo's trial on treason charges there were no witnesses testifying he helped terrorists but he was sentenced on the basis of letters found in his home.
