It would cut the city subsidy from $6,000 to $3.000 monthly, provided the city can negotiate contracts for emergency ambulance service. The would continue to pay $30 for emergency ambulance calls, and 520 for transfer cases.

Charges are higher outside city limits. To cut the subsidy cost, Braswell's plan calls for reducing the number of ambulances on duty from three to two on the daytime and night shifts.

NEW YORK (AP) For thej second time in four months, the House of Representatives faces the sticky problem of what to do with Adam Ciayton Powell, who won a lopsided election victory in absentia in his Harlem constituency Tuesday.

That is the message of State Sen. Barbara Jordan, who flew in from Washington Tuesday night to speak to 300 members of the Baytown Education Association and their guests.
