James A. office today with legislative ears still ringing from one of the hottest fights of the session. Minority Democrats and a handful of Republicans waged the battle Wednesday afternoon and night but failed in their efforts to increase state spending for the Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) program. When the smoke cleared, the big spending bill was unchanged from the way it came out of the Senate Finance Committee. In other developments Wednesday, the legislature put on a burst of speed and passed an emergency bill reimbursing cities $3.5 million for maintenance and lighting of freeways inside their borders.

The Senate Ways and Means Committee opened hearings in crow'ded chambers on the administration bill to increase taxes for education. The room was filled with retail merchants, education, and other lobbyists as sponsoring Senate Majority Leader Theodore M. Gray R-3 Miami explained the measure. It calls for a tax on gross receipts and extension of the 3 per cent sales tax to several new areas, among other things. Senators debated for about an hour before the House-approved budget bill received a 26-7 vote.

Three Democrats Sens. Oliver Ocasek D-27 Northfield, Summit; M. Morris Jackson D-21 Cleveland, and Bishop Kilpatrick D-32 Trumbull joined all 23 Republicans in voting yes. As amended by the Senate Finance Committee, the bill calls for the state to put up half of a $35 million ADC allocation in the bill and make it available to counties on a 90-10 matching basis. That means counties would put up one dollar to every nine by the state.

The boost would raise ADC benefits from the present 78 per cent of recommended standards to about per cent. The other million also would be available on a matching basis to raise benefits to 100 per cent of standards but counties this time would have to furnish 66.3 per cent of the additional cost and the state 33.7. House members held a 10 p.m. session to receive the budget bill back from the Senate for a vote on whether to concur on the ADC and 15 other less controversial Senate amendments. The vote to concur was 53-40.

In other developments, the House voted 85-5 to permit jail or workhouse inmates to accept outside employment. Only those serving less than a year for misdeameanors would be eligible. The House passed and sent to the Senate a bill requiring that the prosecutor of the most populous county in a joint vocational school district serve as legal adviser. A new bill introduced by Rep.
