I drove past a downtown location and noticed two men sprawled in lawn chairs drinking beer. It made me wonder. R.C.B. Decatur Larry Harper, vice president URW Local 713, currently on strike, read me a list of local regulations for their picketers, which included a ban on alcoholic beverages and littering. Those on picket duty are also encouraged to stand rather than sit.

The union enforces its rules through a system of shift captains, who check the picket points several times a day. Violators can be denied picket pay. The local regulations are based on guidelines and suggestions from the national office of the union. Labor law does get very involved and complicated. The federal Taft-Hartley Act covers many, specific aspects of strikes; court cases have added to the interpretation.

As for city ordinances, strikers and picketers would be subject to the general regulations on disorderly conduct, but labor strikes are not regulated 9s such.

A bill that would ban the lottery game was voted down by a House committee Tuesday, after Illinois' top lottery official testified that it could cost the state up to $40 million in revenue next year. "If the state of Illinois is in such sad shape that we have to rely on an instant lottery to finance it, then God help us," Rep. Dwight P. Friedrich, R-Centralia, sponsor of the measure, said Tuesday. But the House Revenue Committee voted 8 to 7 against the bill, and also against another nonbinding resolution urging the state to end the instant game.

The instant lottery issue was one of a series of gambling measures taken up by the Revenue Committee, which has found itself hard pressed to balance state revenue needs with increasing demands for spending. Friedrich said the instant lottery, where players know immediately if they win by scratching numbers on their ticket, is encouraging people to throw away their income on gambling. But state Lottery Supt. Ralph Batch said that the instant lottery will provide up to $40 million of the $75 million the state expects to get from the lottery in the fiscal year beginning July 1. "It is my judgment that in the event the instant lottery is not implemented there will be a loss of some $35 to $40 million as a consequence," said Batch.

The state has had one instant lottery game, which began last October and ran for about 14 weeks. Batch said another such game is planned.

Rep. Wyvetter Younnge, D-East St. Louis, also voted present.

She voted last year to override the veto. Only one central or Southern Illinois legislator apparently voted for the measure. Rep. Monroe Flinn, D-Cahokia, switched from present to a yes vote just before the roll call was washed out by Berman's move to postpone consideration. Berman angrily told Downstate critics that many of the changes they wanted in the formula were accepted last year by Chicago Democrats but were "scuttled" by "your Downstate'rs" in the Senate.

MLC, Decatur Staff members in the offices of the city corporation counsel and the county state's attorney provided the answers. First, the City Code does not contain any regulations about bodies of water.

Second, trespassers can be arrested, prosecuted and convicted of a Class misdemeanor. Clearly posted signs and verbal requests are adequate notice that trespassing is prohibited. The police department would conduct the investigation. called him and demanded to know if there was enough evidence to warrant the action using these words: "I hope you have the evidence to support the suspension." Edelman said that "I just felt I wasn't going to get the up-port and backing from the governor's office to go after the medical vendors." Kamin denied the allegation, saying: "It's outrageous. I don't even recall discussing Ziperstein with Edelman." Edelman's comments followed disclosure of a report charging that an extensive medical care network operated by Ziperstein's son continues to get massive Medicaid payments, despite the irregularities found in the Pharmacy in 1974.

The legislative investigation report said the elder Ziperstein once bragged to friends that he made more than $10 million in a year from his chain of Medicaid-supported clinics. The Ziperstein operation also now may be coming under the influence of people with links to organized crime, the report said. The confidential report was distributed this week to the Legislative Advisory Committee on Public Aid. It was prepared by the investigative unit of the advisory committee, a bipartisan legislative group that monitors the state's welfare program.

NBC Finally Reaches Top Spot New York (AP) NBC, which has failed to come out No. 1 in the weekly ratings since 1976 began, finally did it last week with eight of its shows among the nation's 20 highest-rating evening programs. According to A. C. Nielsen audience estimates for the week ending May 16, the nation's most-watched program that week was NBC's Sunday broadcast of a movie, "The Parent Trap." It wen an estimated 45 per cent of the national audience in its time period.

The nation's least-watched pTogram, according to Nielsen figures, was a competing ABC sports show called "Olympic Trials." According to Nielsen estimates, the 19 most popular programs after "Parent Trap" were "Miss U.S.A. Pageant," "All in the Family" and "M-A-S-H," all CBS; "Starsky and Hutch," ABC; "The Quest" and "Joe Forrester," both NBC: "Happy Days," "Laverne and Shirley" and "Baretta," all ABC; "Maude" and "One Day at a Time," both CBS; "Columbo" and "Police Story," both NBC; "America Junior Miss Pageant," CBS; "Bionic Woman," ABC; "Saturday Movie," "Rockford Files" and "Gemini Man," all NBC and "Mary Tyler Moore," CBS. 'Barry Lyndon' Wins Worst Film Award Cambridge, Mass. (AP) The movie "Barry Lyndon" has won the least coveted entertainment award: the Harvard Lampoon's selection as the worst film of 1975. The movie's male elad, Ryan O'Neal, won the Kirk Douglas Award for worst actor.

"Facial paralysis has proved to be no stumbling block to his career from Peyton Place ingenu to Harvard student to simpering 18th Century conman with an Irish accent that wouldn't fool Fernando Lamas," the Lampoon said Tuesday. The annual Natalie Wood Award for worst actress went to Diana Ross for "Mahogany." On her citation, the Lampoon pleaded: "Stop, in the name of love," the title of one of her songs when she was one of The Supremes. The movies ranked after "Barry Lyndon" on the 10 worst list included: "The Hindenburg," because "the only impressive special effect was getting it off the which "should have stayed in the and "Once Is Not Enough," about which the Lampoon commented, "We beg to Associated Press Wirephoro managed to save Mrs. Carter after she had been severely mauled.

"I think there's" a determination to get some figures that read "better" 'for Downstate schools," said Rep. Rolland Tipsword, D-Taylorville, another who voted present.

Tipsword voted last year to support Walker's override. "It's a reflection to have our views be considered (by the leadership) in the determination of a lot of things in the session." Despite denials by Chicago Democrats, many Downstate legislators of both parties believe a tax increase program has been prepared for introduction late in the session by House Majority Leader Gerald Shea, the leader of the Daley forces. All the Republicans from central and Southern Illinois voted against the supplemental appropriation. Most agreed, with Rep. John Hirschfeld, R-Champaign, that a vote for the deficiency aid was tantamount to a vote for an increase in income tax rates.

By January 1972, when he made the $8,000 payment, he said, he had been informed by a Material Service official of "details of how the $8,000 was to be handled, and I assumed the money was not for a legitimate purpose." Crown said he paid the $8,009 with the understanding it would be returned if the bill increasing concrete load limits did not become law. The second payment of $15,000 was to be used "for the same purpose as before in hopes of either overriding the veto or new legislation," he said. On trial are Reps. Robert Craig, D-Danville; John F.

Icen Lindsay-Schaub News Service Springfield A $67.5 million supplemental appropriation to fully fund the school aid formula for the current fiscal year fell 17 votes short of passage Tuesday in the Illinois House- when1 approximately 20 Central and Southern Illinois Democrats voted present or did not vote. Rep. Arthur Berman, D-Chicago, then postponed consideration of the bill which provides money Chicago Democrats need to partially fund a contract negotiated last year between the Chicago Teachers Union and the Chicago Board of Education.

Among those who declined to vote on the unofficial roll call were several Downstate Democrats, among them members who voted last year to override the veto of school aid funds by Gov. Daniel Walker. Former Democratic floor leader Clyde Chaote of Anna indicated after the vote that non-voters hoped to improve the Downstate bargaining position not only on school aid funds and changes in the formula but on other issues as well. Choate declined to be specific. But a number of Downstate Democrats, particularly those who represent school districts with declining student enrollment, have been upset about the failure of the legislature to provide assistance.

"I'm voting no today because of the way the money we're voting for is distributed inequitably," said Rep. Douglas Kane, D-Springfield, one of those with ties to Choate who voted last year to override Walker's veto. I vote for the defeat of this bill at this time." Many of the Downstate legislators want such changes in the formula as the inclusion of transportation costs and allowing districts with declining student population to use higher enrollment figures for a period of time after the decline begins. They also want adjustments on the qualifying rates. Among the others in the loosely aligned group known as Choate's raiders who voted present Tuesday but supported the override last year were Reps.

Vincent Birchler, D-Chester, Bruce Richmond, D-Murphysboro, Charles F. Keller, D-Effingham, Joe Luc-co, D-Edwardsville, Sam Wolf, D-Granite City, and Don Brummet, D-Vandalia. There were, in addition, some Bribes 'Assumed' Crown Tells of Giving $23,000 Springfield (AP) A former Illinois public aid director has accused Gov. Daniel Walker's office of "pressuring" him to curtail an investigation into the activities of a Chicago Medicaid vendor two years ago. Joel Edelman, now executive director of the Legislative Advisory Committee on Public Aid, said Tuesday he believed that a Walker aide had interfered with a public aid investigation of druggist Allen Ziperstein.

Ziperstein operated a string of pharmacies and medical clinics until he was murdered in one of his own clinics in August 1974. Edelman said he suspended the Ziperstein-operated Pharmacy in 1974, after a public aid investigation produced evidence of irregularities in its Medicaid operations. He said Chester Kamin, then a special assistant to Walker, Harris Says He Paid for Vacations Chicago (AP) State Sen. William C. Harris, Republican candidate for secretary of state, says reports that he got free vacations from a ready-mix concrete lobbyist are "yellow journalism," 'shabby treatment" and "an outrage." The Senate minority leader told a news conference that a lobbyist for Vulcan Materials, a Birmingham, ready-mix company, did pick up the lodge bill on three fishing trips to Canada.

But Harris said he reimbursed him. "I might have been more careful, but I'm a guy who believes in people," Harris said. U.S. Atty. Samuel Skinner said Monday that Harris received free vacations from an executive of Material Service the largest ready-mix supplier in Illinois.

Skinner was a government witness in the trial of four legislators, two former lawmakers and two lobbyists.

Crown, president of Material Service the largest ready-mix company in Illinois, testified in federal court Tuesday that "it was my assumption that the money would be used that way." Crown, testifying under a grant of immunity from prosecution, was a key witness in the bribe-conspiracy trial of four General Assembly members, two former lawmakers and two other men. They are accused of plotting to split up a $30,000 slush fund to secure legislative passage of a bill easing weight limits on ready-mix trucks. Crown testified that he was first approached in late 1971 abcut contributing to a ready-mix fund but believed the money would be used for "legitimate lobbying purposes'.
