(AP)-Com- missidner of Personnel Robert Mullally Thursday replied to charges by South Dakota Auditor Alice Kundert that his office should not decide job classifications for her employes. Miss Kundert had said the persbnnel office reclassified many of her employes without special knowledge of the requirements of her office. She said the change was part of a political power grab by the administration of Gov. Richard Kneip. Mullally said all state em- pfcyes were classified under a new system that requires jobs to be assigned salary ranges based on the value of the jobs.

"If an agency has a number of auditors or accountants who are actually doing ndthing more than claims clerk he said. taxpayers are overpaying for the work. If Miss Kundert wishes to employ auditors or accountants to perform 'claims clerk work, that's fine, 'but this office will not allow her, or any other department, pay an accountant's salary to a claims clerk." Mullally said employes in the auditor's office have proce- Idures to appeal their classification. He said public hear- iings on the classification plan will be held July 25 by the Per- isonnel Policy Board, appeals can be taken at that time. Miss Kundert had questioned whether the personnel office could determine for employes of constitutional officers their classification.

"The legislature specifically insured that the new uniform pay system would apply to constitutional offices," Mullally said, "even though those offices are exempt from other provisions of the personnel law."

(AP) A federal court order halting railroad line abandonments in the absence of environmental act statements may permit outh Dakota to retain some of its existing railroad mileage, Sen.

George McGovern, said today. McGovern said a federal judge in New York has ruled that the Interstate Commerce Commission, (ICC), may not permit abandonments of railroad lines anywhere in the nation without submitting an environmental statement. The ruling will require the ICC to hold hearings on each proposed rail abandonment to determine its effect on the environment, including the impact of alternate methods of transportation, McGovern said. "An order such as this would have helped years ago, before the bulk of rail lines in South Dakota had been abandoned, but this may be helpful in preserving some of the rail service we still have," he said. Hearings were held in Sioux Falls this spring on the Chicago andi Northwestern Railway's, proposal to abandon a branch line between Wren, Iowa and Iroquois, S.D.

Most of the kidnapers have been leftist guerrillas collecting funds to finance their revolutionary activities. Thompson came to Argentina two years ago from Brazil and ihas worked for Firestone for 25 i years. He is the father of four children.

i Kidnapers freed an Italian banker and an Argentine law- Iyer on Thursday after ransom was paid, police sources said. But at least six other kidnaped persons are still missing. Meanwhile, the Argentine government, which restored relations with Cuba after the recent inauguration of President Hector J. Campora, said it would ask the Castro government to return the hijacker or hijackers who commandeered ar Argentine airliner during a domestic flight Wednesday. The plane landed in Havana Thursday morning with 26 persons aboard.

The Argentine government said Havana advised that the plane and everyone but the hijackers would return to Buenos Aires today.

"At my direction, American officials made payments of $75.000 in cash in five installments from November 1971 through March 1972, of which the first four, totaling $20,000, came from noncorporate sources and the last $55,000, paid in March 1972, came from corporate sources," Spater said. He declared he took full corporate responsibility for the decision to make the contributions. At the time the money was given, American was attempting to merge with Western Airlines, a move that required approval of both the White House and the Civil Aeronautics Board. The merger was disapproved by the CAB last summer, and didn't go through. Spater said he admitted the corporate donation to Cox "before any knowledge of these facts had reached the government from other sources." However, a spokesman indicated Spater was aware that officials of Nixon's campaign finance committee were moving to reveal lists of secret donors.

Common Cause, the self- styled citizen's, lobby, is suing the -Finance Committee to Reelect the President for ftill disclosure of its receipts and expenditures before April 7, 1972, when a new law took effect ending secret donations. Lawyers for the committee recently have promised to give such an accounting. Spater said he fully supports proposals by Common Cause to reform election laws, and called on other businessmen who have made illegal corporate gifts to come forward and admit it.
