Near Quang Tri City S. Vietnamese Push Attaek On Red Units gf A A A IP vv ASV New Bid Sel To Resolve Pa. Biidgel HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) Another attempt at finding a budget for the new fiscal year is scheduled to begin today when six legislators meet to resolve w'hat the full Senate and House could not accomplish in three months. The earliest a budget can he passed is Wednesday and in the meantime, the state limps along with no authorization to spend any money.

better pass it darn soon or the cries of anguish of the people will be heard said Gov. Shapp after the House refused Saturday to go along with a Senate budget version. Separate bills providing $150 million for flood relief remain in a Senate committee, where they will sty until the budget is passed; according to Shap The 26 Senate Democrats approved a spending plan earlier, 14 hours into the new year, but the House voted 135-50, nine hours lat to reject the Senate version. Thus a House Senate conference committee will attempt to work out a compromise between Gov. $3.2 billion request and another version, $150 million smaller, backed by Republicans and a bloc of upstate House Democrats.

The new fiscal year began at midnight Friday. On instructions from Gov. Shapp, flood relief efforts have continued unabated, while state employes have been asked to continue working even though they be paid until a budget is signed into law. All checks from the state, including emergency assistance to flood victims, have been stopped. The vendors have been asked to continue supplying materials wdth the bill he honored as soon as main people who will he hurt the most are the elderly, the sick, disabled and those who depend on the state to help them said Shapp.

House Majority Leader K. Leroy Irvis, D-AUegheny, said the leadership had lined up nearly 90 House votes in favor of the Senate budget version, much like Gov. proiws- al. But when saw the bill going down despite their support, they deserted in droves. to tack another anti-spending vote onto their election- year records.

Passage of the budget would require 102 votes. Upstate Democrats and all but four Republicans stood firm in their quest for budget reductions. The major objection to proposal remains a $73 million program of state aid to local courts, child welfare programs, prison costs, mentl health services and community colleges. The budget would send two thirds of the amount to Philadelphia and Allegheny counties, leaving the remainder for the other 65 counties. Irvis said that during meetings Saturday with the rural Democratic bloc, there had been in their position.

They remained opposed to a $47 million program to aid county courts, Irvis said, but might be won over to child w'elfare and mentl health programs.
