Annexation Of Benton Counly Acreage Okayed SPRINGDALE Annexation of 220 acres in Benton County vas approved by the Springdale City Council Tuesday night. The land is generally unde- and is located al he western boundary of Behel Heights, lying generally north and west of Calahan Mountain. Members of the council also discussed operating funds for he proposed Eastside Center, after discovering that vhat they believed was a one- half mill surplus in the city's mlllage levy could only be used "or retirement of Improvement xinds. The one-half mill, approved jy the voters, but not being col- 'ecled at the present time, was reed several years ago when the city re-financed a bond issue. Since il was originally dedicated lo bond retirement, it must be used for that purpose, ac cording to cily atlorney John Lisle.

The city is proceeding with Its plans for applicalion of federal funds to finance construction of the Eastside Community Center.

Senate Finance Committee With Benefit Bill WASHINGTON (AP Tho Senate Finance Committee con- ttmied 'wrestling 'today over ways lo finance a mammolh So- clnliSccflrlly bill cnifi'ylng $9 billion In benefit Increases Ihe panel has already approved. The committee struggled through twp, sessions but failed to come up with an acceptable lax formula, Sen.

John J. Williams. said It had been easy; to, gel voles lo raise Ihe monthly payments but lhal "there seems to be a reluctance now lo pay Ihe bill." However, Chairman Russell Long, said he was hopeful thai a formula would be found and Ihe: committee's task ended today. And he repealed his pledge that the measure, heavily laden with a variety of riders, would be ready for floor consideration noNt week. CLOSING OUT Senate leaders have announced, however, they plan lo close out 1970 session at Ih6 end of next week.

This led Sen. Fred R. Harris, a Finance member, lo say lhat it is doubtful the Social Security measure will be voted on by the Senate this year. fie said som6 of Ihe'riders, such as a quota-setting trade plan, were so conlroversial lhat passage in one week seemed Impossible. Backers of the trade legislation talked of trying to gel a two-thirds vote to impose clo- lure, and thus limit debate on the bill.

But it seemed unlikely tlie Senate would vole clbture almost as soon as floor debate started. The Oklahoma senator, however, said there's another'way lo salvage the Social Security increase in the current session of Congress. RIDER He said he had talked wilh Majority Leader Mike Mansfield about attaching the increase as a rider to an excise lax extension bill lhat must be acted on before final adjournment. Mansfield told a newsman the was being considered, and snld he definitely would like to ml through the Social Security ncrense before Congress quits. But, if cannol be done, Iho will have lo consider II early next year and make II retroactive lo Jan.

1, he siild. OF the Iwo financing methods rejected Tuesday, one called for 'mposing Social Security taxes next year on up to $12,000 of a person's annual wage. The current figure is $7,800. Tho other would have pulled one-lhird of nil Social Security revenues from general revenues, instead of splitting Ihe cost equally be- employers and employes Before any measure Is sent to the While House, the Senate version will have to be reconciled wilh one passed by Ihe House. Alcoa Grant Goes To University The Universily of Arkansas has received a $500 unreslrlcled grant from the Alcoa Founda- of Pittsburgh, in connection with attendance at the Universily of two Alcoa schol-.

arship recipients, Tom W. He- and Richard L. Rogers, aoth of Benton, according to Dr. David W. Mullins, president.

A two hour action show needs more an authentic 'back ground and great scenery.

the time "Break Out" moved Into the meat of the story, was perfectly obvious whai would happen. The prisoners, work gang logging on the mountain, were pressed into a hunt for a boy missing in a blizzard. Naturally Joe found the boy while trying to escapes-arid naturally took the youngster back to his par cnts and himself, presumably back to jail.

But this year, lo the surprise if everyone but themselves, the nedlcally-troubled squad blazed oan unbeaten record over eight leallhy teams in their suburban eaguft. "When Ihe going gels bad and gel loused Up. you really asthma," says Stephen iocki, a 12-year-old quarttrback rom Utlca, N.Y., who scored 10 of the team's total 223 points. NEEDED That is when the nebulizer broncodilator--a medicated iiist to aid breathing--come nto aclion. "When asthma sets in during a game," said Jim Haddinger, nslilule recrealion director, 'they come lo the sidelines to nhalfe from the nebulizer.

Usually.they go right back in." The biggest problem, is always the last-minute discovery of who will be available lo play. "Our major fear," Haddinger said, "is that on the day of a Jame our best players will be losnitalized." The players, who represent 13 states from as far away as Call- "ornla, Ohio, Massachusetts anc Jersey, live In collages al the Institute along with about 9C other girls and boys. When asthma disables them, Ihey enter hospital for treatment. Although Stephen made il jhrough the season wilhout the sideline nebulizer, he and two received their postseason trophies at bedside. But the Asthmanauts aren't yinded yet, with football pol- shed off.

They plan to take a deep breath and launch into the )asketball season. olB voters of Ihd' foyeltovlllo School Dlslrlct.
