Budge! GOP Stands By as Shapp, Salons Try To Settle Dispute By JACK MOORE New Era Staff Writer HARRISBURG-As Republicans see it, this could be a long week in Harrisburg if the Democrats cant get together on what the state budget should look like. Its a three-cornered fight among Democrats, one Lancaster County House Republican declared today. We Republicans are merely sitting on the sidelines watching and waiting until the Democrats can decide what they want to do. 3-CORNERED FIGHT Rep. Harry Gring of Reinholds then explained what he meant by the three-cornered fight.

First, theres Gov. Shapp. He want a $3.2 billion budget with record spending. Make that a $3.3 billion budget, with the $150 million added for flood relief. Second, the rural, or upstate, Democrats in the House say thats too much and insist that it can be cut by $150 million.

We Republicans solidly agreed with them, and Shapps original $3 2 billion budget was cut by that much and passed and sent to the Senate. THIRD VIEW But the Senate Democrats have a third view on what the budget should be. Senator Benjamin Donolow, head of Appropriations, cut $96 million more from the House version but most of those cuts were in areas where, eventually, the money would have to be put back in later, by way of deficiency appropriations. One House liberal Democrat called Donoiows Senate version of the budget, as phony as a $3 bill. That was Rep.

Max Homer of McKees Rock, and his comment came late Saturday night on the House floor, just minutes before the House rejected it, 135-50, to throw the budget and the -Sea '3 SIDED' Page IS Sen. McGovern Backers Sue For Calif. Seals Judge Questions Whether Constitution Issue Is Involved WASHINGTON (AP) -A a 1 judge questioned today whether a constitutional issue was involved in the Democratic Credential Committees action stripping away more than half Sen. George S. McGoverns California delegates.

District Judge George L. Hart Jr. said It might not be cricket, it might even be dirty pool, but is it unconstitutional? SEES CLEAR ISSUE Attorney Joseph L. Rauh Jr. seeking an injunction against the committees action, maintained that a clear issue of due process of law as well as equal protection of the laws was at stake.

The request for a restraining order by the court was brought by McGovern supporters in California just a week before the Democratic National Convention to convene in Miami Beach. The Credentials Committee threw out the states winner-take-all primary and ordered the California delegates divided proportionately to the popular vote among the rival candidates, Hubert H. Humphrey, George C. Wallace and others. Judge Hart said that if there was a provision of constitutional rights, surely the court will step in.

POLITICAL THICKET However, he told Rauh that there had to be a clear constitutional issue or otherwise the courts will get so far into the political thicket we could never get out. Rauh said the Credentials Committee not only had changed the rules on which everyone relied but had done so discriminatorily in barring California alone from having a winner-take-all primary. Why should California be singled out as the only state that cant have winner-take-all? he asked, contending this was a denial of equal protection of the laws. A court recess was taken before Joseph A. Califano Jr.

counsel for the Democratic National Committee, presented his arguments in support of the Credentials Committees action. 120 VOTES McGovern would retain 120 votes, but the loss of the 151 delegates posed a major setback in his hopes to win the Democratic presidential nomination on the first ballot. Stephen Reinhardt, Democratic national committeeman from California who announced the suit, accused the Credential Committee of acting solely from political considerations in taking the delegates from McGovern.

The trailer camp will be administered by the Lancaster Redevelopment Authority for HUD in providing tem- for occupancy because of structural damage caused by the flood. Owners of these homes are expected to be given first consideration in the trailer park. According to Kulman, those who live in the HUD trailers, will not pay rent, but will pay utility bills. At the end of one year, the trailers must be removed from the War Memorial Park. Trailer occupants will be given the opportunity to buy the trailers un-d lease-purchase agreements.

He had been under the care of a physician but was not a hospital patient at the time of his death. COATESVILLE VA Dr. Holt had come to Lancaster in 1957 from Veterans Administration Hospital in Coates ville, where he had served for nine years. He set up a private psy- chiatric practice in Lancaster and also headed the psychiatric staff at General Hos-pital. What we are striving for Is to take the stigma from mental care, and trying to solve mental health problems as medical problems, he once told an interviewer.

In his position at General Dr. Holt was overseer of a program which administers to patients with mental ills on an outpatient basis. The program also has placed patients- with shortterm mental disorders in the same rooms with medical patients instead 6f in separate psychiatric wards.

He graduated from Mer-cersburg Academy, and took both premedical and medical degrees from the University of Pennsylvania.

At Coatesviile Veterans Administration Hospital he was on the staff and also was chief of continued treatment service and chief of womens service. He was certified in psychiatry in 1951. Dr. Holt was affiliated with St. Thomas Episcopal Church and was a member of Elks -Sea DR.

HOLT-Page 2 REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) The world chess championship was threatened with collapse today 24 hours before Bobby Fischers deadline to show up or forfeit his match with Boris Spassky of Russia. Fischer, the American chess champion, was reported sticking to his demand for more money. He told the New York Daily News he wouldnt yield. OPPOSED The six-man board of the sponsoring Icelandic Chess Federation was reported unanimously opposed to paying Fischer the extra money. Meanwhile in London, a British banker today offered Fischer a deal worth 50,000 pounds $130,000 at official parity to entice Fischer to play his Soviet rival for the world chess title.

James D. Slater, an investment banker, said in making the offer, Fischer has said that money is the problem. Well, here it is. What I am saying to Fischer now is, Come out and play Slater's offer was made through Dr. Max Euwe, presi- dent of the International Chess Federation, and was 1 DETROIT (AP) General Motors Corp.

announced today the recall of 500,000 of its Chevrolet Vega minicars for inspection and possible replacement of defective rear axle shafts. The recall, GM said. Involves virtually ail 1971 and 1972 Vegas built prior to last May 5. Only models with so-called Positraction rear axles are excluded. Chevrolet said 59 shaft failures have been reported thus far, but that no injuries have been reported because of them.

It said two failures have resulted in minor body damage to vehicles. Somewhat similar rear axle failures resulted earlier this year in Ford Motor Co.s recall of more than 400,000 1972 Ford Torinos and Mercury Montegos. Excessive end play in the defective shafts, GM said, could cause a lock ring to disengage, permitting the shaft and wheel to move outward. If that should occur, the rear brakes may become inoperative wheel and axle could separate from the car, permitting the car to drop down onto the rear suspension. GM said, however, that if rear braking were lost front brakes would continue to work.

The company said actual inspection would take less than 10 minutes and that axle replacements, if needed, could be completed in approximately an hour. Inspection and replacements will be at company expense. match of the century expressed a belief that Fischer, in the end, would sabotage the championship. MORE OPTIMISTIC Among the more optimistic was Larry Evans, a former American champion who knows Fischer well. He said, Id say there was a 50-50 chance he will come.
