The base, now permanently fixed at $9,000, would go to $10.800 next year and $12.000 starting in 1974. After that, it could be adjusted upwards to pay for cost-of-living increases. The rate. now 5.2 per cent each for the employer and worker. would go up to 5.5 per cent next vear These changes would boost the maximum tax, now $468.

to $594 in 1973 for a person earning $10.800 or more, and to $660 in 1974 for one earning $12,000 or more. However, a worker earning $9.000 or less actually would pay a smaller tax in 1973 and subsequent years than he would under present law. The reason is that the rates prescribed by the law now are higher than those in the Church proposal. For example, under present law the 1973 rate will be 5.65 per cent compared with 5.5 per cent under the amendment. The Social Security Administration estimates about 80 per cent of all workers would pay lower taxes in the next 25 years under the Church provision than under present law The Senate Finance Committee previously approved a 10 per cent increase in a welfare reform bill But that bill is in trouble in Congress and also would probably take longer to put into effect The Senate also added to the debt limit bill a tax provision to help sufferers from the recent widespread floods.

It would permit persons and businesses with flood losses to file amended tax returns, claim the losses against 1971 income, and get immediate refunds. Without this provision, they would have to wait until next year when they filed their 1972 returns. United Press International -Recognize this fellow?

The original delegation had been totally pledged to Sen. George McGovern of South Dakota, the frontrunning candidate for the party's presidential nomination.

The credentials move was seen as a victory for other candidates seeking to derail McGovern's bid. Lightner, who said he had not made up his mind whom he will back for the presidential nomination, said his vote was not a "stop McGovern" move. but was based on a belief that winner-take-all principle should be Lightner said he thought party reform required that each candidate receive delegate votes in proportion to the popular vote in primaries, rather than in blocs.

PHILADELPHIA (UPI) Federal officials helpessly watched six million gallons of oil spread through the Schuylkill River basin Friday.

Caused by Tropical Storm Agnes. was called "the worst inland oil spill in U. S. history. Could permanently damage fish and plant life in the area.

The oil spill, which officials feared would inflict permanent fish and plant life damage and raise a pollution threat to the nation's fourth largest city, followed massive Pennsylvania flooding last weekend by Agnes. The Coast Guard termed it "the worst inland oil spill in S. history." As Philadelphia's problems compounded Friday, other Pennsylvania localities began feeling some relief from the weekend flooding that left 44 known dead, another 250.000 homeless and more than billion in damages. The federal government also moved Friday to allay some of the flood misery by declaring all of Pennsylvania's 67 counties a disaster area. The designation had previously been extended to just 35 counties.

The oil spill was caused when the floods Agnes dislodged an estimated six million gallons of crankcase oil from storage lagooons at Berks Associates, a chemical firm located 14 miles upstream at Douglassville Pa. Resultant pollution of the Schuylkill River jeopardized water supplies throughout a five-county region, including Philadelphia. Peter Clapper of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency said it was the first time "we've had deposited oil in great quantities on high foilage.

Some of this stuff is on the tops of trees. "We could keep skimming it off the water, but we'd be doing that for years," said Clapper. "We've got to get to the source on the banks before they become a permanent oil spill He said environmentalists were particularly concerned because the oil contained lead additives, which "isn't good for fish, plants or In Harrisburg, EPA administrator William Ruckelshaus said he found no evidence of industrial negligence since Agnes drenched the area with SO much rain that it litterally siphoned the oil over the tops of restraining lagoons. Ruckelshaus discussed the spillage problem Friday with Gov. Milton J.

Shapp. Berks Associates kept the used crankcase oil in the lagoons prior to refining it for reuse. The Coast Guard set up booms and filters to contain the slick, but Clapper said once most of the oil is skimmed there are "massive problems of disposal and we have to find landfills for this oil." the mountains. ranging to the mid 60s along the southeast coast.
