He was committed to the county jail in lieu of and remained there late this morning. HARRISBURG (UPI) A move is underway in the Pennsylvania Senate to give top state officials, legislators and judges a 10 per cent pay hike. A bill with a $110 million price tag would give automatic annual increases based on the rising consumer price index was tabled at the last minute Wednesday by the Senate State Government Committee. However, sources said an attempt could be made next week to revive the idea. Many legislators and the state's trial judges are lobbying for the proposal.

The chief sponsor of the bill considered Wednesday was Sen. Henry Cianfrani. D- Philadelphia. His office estimated the hike would be 10 per cent and cost $110 million. At a State Government Committee meeting Wednesday morning.

Chairman Thomas Nolan, D-Allegheny, said amendments were being prepared to cut out all state workers from the bill except judges. But Cianfrani and other committee members complained legislators were treated as "third-class citizens." unable to raise their salaries because of the outcry from the press and the public. "We ought to bite the bullet and do what we've got to said Cianfrani. "But I want to tell you guys, if you run this bill as is, some hero will get up on the floor and try to take us out and you guys better be there to vote against The committee voted 104 to table the bill, but members continued to discuss it. "You know what we've done.

We've killed a pay increase for two years," complained Sen. Robert Mellow, Lackawanna. "After all, when you talk about judges and all state employes, we might not catch much heat (for including legislators)," Mellow said. The committee then voted 10-5 to take the bill off the table, but turned down a motion by Sen. Austin Murphy.

D- Washington, to approve the measure. Instead, it recessed until some six hours later, when, at a brief meeting after the full Senate met, the committee by a voice vote tabled the measure again. Both parties apparently discussed the measure during their closed-door caucuses. Some legislators said they feared the House would not go along with the pay increase bill. Complete Study Of County Soil A "last acre" ceremony today completed the soil survey of Lebanon County, The Lebanon County Conservation District hosted the ceremony at noon at the Mt.

Zion fire hall. Philip H. Feather, chairman for the last acre ceremony: George Wolff, chairman of the conservation district, and other district officials and representatives of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service officiated. Wolff said the soil survey has been a major goal of the Lebanon County Conservation for many years.

This soil information, marked on aerial photos, will permit land- users to determine soil conditions for any parcel of land in the county and assist them in better evaluating land-use decisions. Complete Inventories Soil surveys are complete inventories of soil resources. They are made by soil scientists and are based on field. laboratory and research studies. Different kinds of soils are noted in the field.

classified, mapped on aerial photographs and sampled for laboratory analysis. These laboratory results and field observations provide basic information for many people who are involved in making sound land-use decisions, decisions which are vital to the economic and ecologic future of the area. 23 Out of 67 Soil survey reports have been published for 23 of the 67 Pennsylvania counties. Interim reports, which provide soil information for use until a soil survey is published for an area, nave been printed for 35 additional counties. Soil survey mapping has been completed in 20 counties and is in progress in all other counties.

The soil survey here is part of the national cooperative survey being made by the Soil Conservation Service. U.S. Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania State University and State Conservation Commission. Department Environmental Resources. of Senate Majority Leader Thomas Lamb.

D-Allegheny, said some kind of pay increase for legislators and judges could be revived next week. "The idea of an annual cost- of-living increase based on a formula would appear to be dead," Lamb said. "But the idea of a cost-of-living increase based on a dollar amount is still alive." The state constitution forbids legislators to increase their own salaries during their current terms of office. However, the 158th session officially ends Nov. 30 and the pay hikes could go into effect when the new session begins in January.

But the Constitution "apparently also forbids pay increases approved after an election. The bill seeks to get around this by including language which says the hike is not a pay increase, but an "adjustment in compensation rates" needed to offset inflation. The bill has the support of the state Conference of Trial Judges, which sent a letter to all legislators asking, "Why should we elected officials be excluded from annual adjustments?" "Since it (the increase) is an allowance to an expense allowance believe that it does not amount to a salary increase under the Constitution and can be adjusted each year," the letter said. Legislators currently make $15,500 a year and get $5,000 for expenses. Accident Two Annville persons were admitted to the Hershey Medical Center last evening after the car in which they were riding failed to negotiate a curve on North Forge Road, in the Coffeetown Hill area in South Londonderry Township, and struck an embankment.

Audrey Weaver, 18, Annville RD 3, a passenger, is listed in serious condition with neck injuries, according to a medical center spokesman. Officer Richard Wilson, township police, said she reportedly suffered a broken neck. The driver, Thomas R. Birch, 17, 130 E.

The Airport at Middletown. (Daily News Photo) STEAM GENERATOR THE SYSTEM REACTOR PRIMARY LOOP FEEDWATER HEATER The operation of a nuclear power plant is simple. The main difference between it and the coal-fired plant is the heat source. The nuclear plant relies on the splitting of atoms in the reactor for its heat. Uranium lowered into a chemical substance creates this reaction.

The heat produced by the fissioning of the atoms in the reactor raises the water temperature in the primary loop to 600 degrees under 2,185 pounds per square inch of pressure. The pressure keeps the water from boiling. The water then is pumped into the steam generator where it is converted into steam. The secondary loop sends the steam surging through the turbine generator causing the blades to spin at the rate of 1,800 per minute. This turns the connecting generator, producing electricity at 19,000 volts in Unit One.

Unit Two when completed will have an output of 22,000 volts. Transformers at substations step this up to 230,000 volts and 500,000 volts for instantaneous transmission. COOLING TOWER After expending most of its heat and pressure in the turbine the steam is pushed down to the condenser located under the generator. Here it is cooled and converted back into hot water. This in turn is fed back into the secondary loop to be used again.

Reducing the steam to hot water in the turbine takes a lot of cold water. This is fed into a system of its own to the right of the generator. This water must be cooled before it can be used again so it is sent into the system which is tied in with giant towers. These structures are so huge you could place a football field inside of them. They can be seen for miles because they are 372 feet high.

The closed circuit operation of this cooling system permits the unit to operate at maximum efficiency with a minimum of heat transfer to the Susquehanna River. It also causes huge plumes of vapor to pour from the high stacks. Farm Economy Outlook Less U. S. Milk Predicted The U.S.

Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service has predicted lower U.S. milk production for 1974, according to Henry Royer, chairman of the Lebanon County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee.

Sun. 9 to 6 WE HONOR FOOD STAMPS NEWMASTEITS WASHINGTON (UPI) Charles G. "Bebe" Rebozo, one of Richard M. Nixon's closest friends, apparently was the willing if unwitting donor of $25,000 to help meet the demands of the Watergate burglars just before the 1972 election. Another $25.000 obtained from Rebozo on a rush trip to his Key Biscayne, bank the same day was funneled on the orders of John N.

Mitchell into aid for an unidentified political hopeful who had been pressuring Nixon's reelection campaign for money. Rebozo's alleged" role was spelled out Wednesday by Frederick C. LaRue at the Watergate cover-up trial, where Mitchell and four other aides to the former President are charged with conspiracy to conceal the bugging scandal. Rebozo has been under investigation by Watergate prosecutors for various finan- cial dealings on Nixon's behalf though the prosecution brought out "in fairness to Mr. Rebozo" that he didn't know his $25.000 was destined for covert payments to the bugging team.

LaRue. a close friend and former associate of Mitchell's who himself has pleaded guilty to conspiracy in the cover-up, was to be back on the witness stand today as one of the last major prosecution witnesses. Lt, Gen. Vernon A. Walters, deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency, was expected to be called next for cross-examination on whether the CIA caved in to White House pressure to curtail the Watergate investigation in the early days of the scandal.

Neatly avoiding a constitutional confrontation that threatened to pit Congress against the courts, the prosecutors announced they had obtained "through he good offices of someone" subpoena testimony given by former CIA chief Richard Helms about the agency's role in the affair. U.S." District.Judge John J. Sirica, informed that the prosecution may wrap up its case by Thanksgiving, meanwhile named three doctors to study Nixon's case and examine the former President if necessary to determine if he is well enough to testify for the def aise. LaRue, a trouble-shooter for Mitchell in the Nixon campaign, testified about discussions among the high command almost immediately after the June 17,1972. bugging arrests, about paying the defendants for legal fees and family support.

He said he was ordered by Mitchell, the former attorney general and campaign manager, to work on these "commitments" to the men involved. costs in coming months, the service reported that dairy farmers will likely cut back on grain and concentrate feeding, thus limiting milk output per cow. The lowered production is expected to last into 1975. Just how far into 1975 the decrease may last will depend on next year's crop developments and subsequent feed prices, as well as upon milk prices and the market for cull dairy cows, Royer said. Could Increase Production could increase in the second half of 1975 should U.S.

agriculture experience larger expected crop acreage and normal weather conditions. Even with possible second half increases, total 1975 milk production could slightly trail this year's level. The ERS report, "The Dairy Situation," noted that while prices paid to farmers for all milk this October are down about 11 cents from a year ago. they are up 64 cents from July of this year. Farm milk prices are likely to be rising seasonably during the rest of 1974 and continue rising early next year.

For all of 1974. dairy cash receipts should total close to up from S8.1-billion last year. Could Be Weakened However, it was pointed out that demand for dairy products could be weakened by strong inflationary pressures, declining real consumer purchasing power and higher unemployment rates. But, dairy prices will likely rise, though more "slowly than last winter and more slowly than food prices generally. Import levels for dairy products have slackened to more normal levels after an emergency increase in the import quotas earlier in the year.

January through September, dairy product imports were equivalent to 2.3 billion pounds of milk, up from 1.3 billion pounds a year earlier. Almost all the increase occurred during the first quarter of the year when an increase in the import quota for cheddar cheese was authorized. All of the temporary increases of import quotas had expired by midyear. The full report is available through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C., Royer said.
