i 4-THE CAPITAL TIMES. Tuesday, Dec. 23, 1969 Colder Weather Forecast Four- Inch Snowfall Clogs Area Roads (Continued from Page 1) Highway 80-81, were reported carrying one-way traffic. An estimated 8 to 10 inches of snow was reported on the ground in Grant, Iowa, Lafayette, Crawford, Sauk, Vernon and Richland Counties. Authorities were warning against driving on the highways except for extreme emergen- cies.

Highway officials reported that highways were being blown closed almost as soon as they were plowed. Winds estimated at 20 to 25 miles per hour were causing drifting throughout the area. It was predicted that two to three more inches would fall in the Platteville area before noon Money Bill OK'd (Continued from Page 1) ered the $1.6 billion added by Congress inflationary. HouseSenate conferees later trimmed $500 inillion from the bill. but the White House clearly indicated Monday that that was not enough to protect it from veto.

leaders Republican congressional met with Monday and were told that the bill still is "not acceptable." Administration officials said that while Congress had cut the HEW bill back to about the President's figure, it had done SO by adding more than $1 billion in items he considered of low priority and cutting about the same amount from his re: quests. One increase specified was $398 million for federally-: impacted area school aid which goes to rich and poor school districts alike. Assuming Congress would adjourn until January 19. Mansfield said he intended to hold the HEW bill in the Senate to prevent the President from letting the bill die while Congress was adjourned simply by withholding his signature for 10 days. If Congress were in session when he made his decision.

the President would be forced to return the bill to Congress with statement explaining why he was vetoing it. Mansfield said Congress should be in session so it could vote to override the veto. The House passed the bill. 261 to 110, Monday. That was more than the two-thirds required to override a veto.

There is considerable sentiment among House Democrats to send the bill to a White House confrontation now and repass it in January if the President lets it die. The final supplemental money bill, which contains $278 million for various agencies and the Philadelphia plan controversy, was considered a must because it also contained stop-gap spending authority for foreign aid and HEW. If the President vetoed that bill with Congress out of session, all the federal social welfare programs would run out of money within two weeks. Tax Bill Passes Passes is security boost and an $800 personal income tax exemption effective in 1971. But a House-Senate conference committee then put more muscle in the bill's tax reforms and toned down the tax cut so that the exemption rises only to $650 starting next July 1 and does not reach $750 until 1973.

a Nothing in the bill affects the taxes the average individual will pay next April 15 on income he earned this year. But taxpayers would start seeing the bill's effects reflected their first paychecks in January when the income tax surcharge, now 10 per cent, falls to per cent. After six months at that rate, it expires for good. the The surtax would die Jan. 1 if Nixon does not sign the bil one factor likely to influence him to sign the bill.

His new budget is based on the assumption that the surtax will continue for the first half of next year. The surcharge was first enacted during the Johnson administration as a weapon against inflation. Moreover, the bill ultimately recoups $3.3 billion a year for the government by killing the investment tax credit a 7 per cent tax subsidy for the expend- to litures on by expansion, businesses and equipment farmand modernization. The administration is eager to end the tax credit. Privately, members of both parties thought Nixon would sign the bill but warn he may have to ask Congress to tone down the bigger personal exemption before it fully goes into effect.

He could save considerable money, for example, by asking that it be kept at $700 in 1972 instead of going to $750 the following year. Or. if inflation proves stubborn, he could ask for yet another extension of the surcharge. Besides the tax cut and social security provisions, the bill cuts taxes for the poor, the near poor and the unmarried; continues the 7 per cent excise tax on new cars and the 10 per cent' tax on telephone service; liberalizes moving expense deduction rules; imposes a minimum tax on investment income which now escapes all taxation; cuts the 27.5 per cent oil depletion allowance to 22 per cent, the first cut ever. It also raises capital gains taxes for persons with gains of more than narrows real estate, banking and "hobby farming" loopholes; subjects foundations to a tax of 7.5 per cent of their income from investments and requires them to pay out to charity at least 6 per cent of their net worth each year and subjects businesses operated by churches to the 48 per cent corporation tax, among other things.

His lawyers contend the additional 24 years were imposed unconstitutionally, that Dennison should have been given a jury trial where he could have fought the doctors' conclusions. They told the Supreme Court during all those years Dennison "was detained among criminals degenerates of the worst sort and was on many occasions assaulted physically and sexually by his co and the attendants at Dannemora State Hospital." They added: "The money that would be awarded to Dennison is not a fine or a penalty imposed upon the people of New York -it is merely a small measure of compensation to him for the loss that he sustained." The award, until it was reversed, brought Dennison numerous proposals of marriage. He remains a bachelor, lives in a small room, a lawyer told a reporter, and was recently laid off from his janitor's job at the Glens Falls community workshop.

Dodd said there "wasn't a scintilla of truth" in reports that he would have voted for Haynsworth if his vote had been necessary to win him confirma-ling As it turned out. Dodd's vote was not needed and he opposed the nomination. Williams said he does not know whether the Internal Revenue Service has any plan institute civil proceedings against Dodd, or whether the agency will seek an adjustment of his income tax returns.

"We know of no civil litigation." Williams said. But he said the tax years involved the inquiry, 1961 to 1965, are still open for action if the IRS chooses. Williams said he did not know whether the IRS had recommended to the Justice Department that Dodd be prosecuted. Dodd said the department action has not altered his political plans for 1970: "They're the same as they've been. I plan run." His Senate term is expiring with the current Congress.

Dodd wrily added that he will not use the fund raising dinner system to finance his re-election bid. "I wish I'd never had he added. Dodd faces at least one rival for the Democratic nomination. Joseph Duffy, national chairman of the Americans for Democratic Action. has declared he plans to run.

Fritz) A Least Temporarily Manson Lets Judge Name Lawyer to Defend Him By DIAL TORGERSON (L.A. Times- -Capital Times Service) LOS ANGELES Hippie clan leader Charles M. Manson, fighting for permission to defend himself in court, reluctantly agreed Monday to accept what he didn't want: a court-appointed attorney.

But only temporarily. "I have no other chance but to represent myself," said Manson, charged with murder for seven Tate and La Bianca killings. "There is no other person in the world who can represent me." But Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge William B. Keene, over vociferous protests of three want to help Manson defend himself, appointed one of the nation's top attorneys to serve as his interim counsel. Atty.

Joseph A. Ball, past president of the state bar association and a legal counsel to the Warren Commission, it was 14 Others Injured 11 Killed as Navy Jet Hits Hangar By RAYMOND C. MEANS SAN DIEGO. Calif. (UPI) A pilotless F8 Crusader jet smashed into a hangar at Miramar Naval Air Station Monday, killing 11 men and injuring 14 others as it exploded in a ball of fire.

Navy Lt. Cyrus M. Riddell, 27, of San Diego, was bringing the jet in for a landing when he lost oil pressure. He radioed for emergency fire standby and a few moments later ejected about half a mile from a huge hangar on the base. The $3 million aircraft, travelat about 225 miles an hour, ploughed through the north doors of the repair hangar and hurtled halfway down the hangar's length through a tangle of workers and aircraft.

The Navy said at least $25 million damage was done to the giant structure and six jets inside. P. 0. 3C Gary R. Miller, who was servicing a jet at the south lend of the hangar, watched the jet slam through the doors.

Throughout Monday's court and again, that hearing Manson insisted, again represent himself with attorneys to advise him if he needed help.

And Judge Keene insisted, again and again, that he could appoint an attorney to discuss the idea with him before he makes his final decision. Finally Manson agreed to Judge Keene's plan. "I'll accept his offer." he said. The judge released the public defender as Manson's attorney of record and later appointed Ball, who was to confer with the defendant today. Manson is to return to Judge Keene's court at 11 a.m.

Wednesday for a further hearing on his motion to be permitted to represent himself. The three attorneys who had hoped to be allowed to assist Manson in his defense were infuriated with Keene's action. One, George Shibley, told the judge Manson had heard Keene "wants to become district attorney, and he's afraid a person appointed by the trial judge might want to convict him." Another, Luke McKissack, told newsmen outside the court, what he thought of Keene's terim-attorney plan: "It's illegal, unconstitutional, and damnable! He (Manson) has this run down his throat!" He added: "The court has been playing with this man's mind." One of the former members of Manson's hippie clan, Susan Denise Atkins, 21, claimed that he maintained an almost hypnotic dominance over her and others in the group. The legal issue now revolves around Manson's mind--and whether he is capable of defending himself. The law says he can do so if he is mentally competent.

Judge Keene in deciding whether to grant Manson's wish, has in mind conflicting legal decisions. Recent cases have been reversed by higher courts both when judges have permitted defendants to represent themselves--and when they have refused to honor such requests. Manson adamantly demanded such permission. For time to trim the tree MADISON'S AUTOMOBILE DEALERS WILL CLOSE both sales service AT 12 NOON WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 24th, 1969 A Merry Christmas To All (Continued from Page 1) members from each county "affected by Indian The Inter-Tribal Council resolution pointed out that the proposed committee does not limit the number of non-Indian committee members and "fails to consider that many Wisconsin tribes and band also have a substantial number of Indians in more than one county." Representative of eight of the ten tribes and bands still under federal supervision voted in favor of the resolution. Representatives of Red Cliff and Mole Lake Indians were absent.

Voting in opposition to the La Fave bill were representatives of the Potawatomi, St. Croix, Oneida, Stockbridge-Munsee, Lac Court Oreilles, Bad River, Lac du Flambeau and Winnebago. The full text of the resolution follows: Whereas Senate Bill 765 has been introduced in the Wiscon(sin Legislature by Senators LaFave, Cirilli, Terry, Krueger, Chilsen and Johnson. Whereas Great Lakes InterTribal Council, Inc. represents the ten existing non-terminated tribes and bands of Indians in the State of Wisconsin.

Whereas The Menominee termination procedure which has been guided and assisted by the Menominee study committee has proved to be a momentous failure. Whereas the committee established by Senate Bill 765 would operate similarly to the Menominee study committee in that the committee created by S. 765 would "develop" specific recommendations and legislative proposals relating to the transiof the Wisconsin Indians from Federal control to local self-government." Whereas Senate Bill 765 does not limit the numbers of non-Indian committee members in that the Bill fails to define what is a county "affected by Wisconsin Indian questions" or fails to that many Wisconsin tribes and bands have "substantial number of Indians" in more than one county. Whereas a committee with the number of members proposed would be too large, and would attempt to study too broad a spectrum of problems. Whereas it is the privilege and prerogative of the Wisconsin Indian represented by the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council to petition the legislation when it is necessary.

Whereas all state and federal services now available can be through the legal entity of the Great Lakes InterTribal Council. Therefore be it resolved that the Great Lakes Inter Tribal Council, the representative governing body of the ten non-terminated Wisconsin tribes and bands of Indians, opposes Senlate Bill 765 as drafted and proposed because the creation of a committee as proposed in S. 765 would merely duplicate the momentous failures of the existing Menominee study committee in that the Wisconsin Indian Committee as proposed would be too large, making it unworkable, and indefinite in size, and indefinite in which counties would and could be represented and indefinite in the scope of problems to be studied. Be it further resolved that when and if a Wisconsin Indian Committee is deemed necessary by the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council, the Wisconsin Indians represented by the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council, would and could so petition the Wisconsin Legislature.

If Congress adjourns this week as planned and returns Jan. 19. Nixon has 10 days from when the bill actually reaches him to decide its fate. If he does nothing, the bill would die, the victim of a pocket veto. It would require a two-thirds vote by each House to enact the bill into law over a veto.

Mon-1 day's votes were big enough to override a veto, but the President could convert some Republicans to his side if he rejects the bill. In his last news conference, 5 Nixon said be would veto the bill if it came to him the way it first emerged from the Senate with the 15 per cent social Olson Asks Fast Action on Air Pollution Bill Lt. Gov. Jack Olson today issued a plea to members of the Assembly Conservation m- mittee for prompt action on Senate Bill 747 to beef up the state's air pollution control program. The air pollution bill was introduced in the Senate at 01- son's request, and passed unani-, mously in November.

The bill appropriates $120,000 for the 1969-71 biennium for environmental protection by the Department of Natural Resources. The money would be used to hire professional experts needed to collect air quality data and set up high standards. "In some cities around the world, people are dying daily because of the poisoned atmosphere around said Olson. "Fortunately, we don't have as severe a problem here in Wisconsin, but we need constant vigilance to keep it from getting worse." Olson told the Conservation Committee members that this particular bill was an important step in the fight to protect our environment, No Mail Service Christmas Day The Main Office, East Side.

Wimmer today announced the appointment of a top-drawer Party Development Commission to study the operation and organization of the party at "all levels." David Carley, Madison businessman, will head the commission. Wimmer said the commission will recommend plans for broadening participation, developing issues, and increasing the scope and distribution of party funds.

While prospective candidates for top state offices are absent from the commission panel, it contains the name of representatives of nearly all segments the party, including the New Democratic Coalition. "In appointing the membership of this commission, I have sought to insure representation of all areas of the state and all segments of the liberal movement," Wimmer said. "I am particularly grateful that Dave Carley has agreed to direct the commission's 'Wimmer said, pointing to Carley's experience as a state director of Resource Development, and his academic background in political science. Les Aspin, Racine, and Mrs. Helen Sigmund, Stevens Point, will serve as deputy chairmen.

Then people started coming out of the hangar with giant flames and smoke immediately Multiple explosions followed the fire in the hangar, one of three repair facilities at the air base. Richard Haight, editor of the Miramar base newspaper, was a block from the structure when the crash occurred.

"There was lots of heroism," he said. "There was plenty of smoke billowing frem both ends of the hangar, but there was no panic. I saw men rushing to the assistance of their squadron mates with no fear whatsoever. Even when there were more explosions it didn't stop them," Haight said. All of the injured and killed men and all but one of the were victims was believed to be Navy personnel.

Riddell, picked up in an isolated area near the base, was taken to the base dispensary and later released. "I feel OK," he told newsmen later. "My neck is stiff and I had it X-rayed. I lost oil pressure and had to eject." A Navy spokesman said Riddell ejected from the plane over Interstate 395, which runs about one-half mile from the base's runway. The spokesman said there was a "flame out" and the jet lost power.

"The plane veered to the right of the runway and crashed into the hangar," civilian Fire Chief Bill Knight said. Wimmer noted that the Administrative Committee had authorized the creation of the commission at its August meeting in Bailey's Harbor. He said the action stemmed from a request by National Party Chairman Fred Harris that state parties create parallel groups to the national party's McGovern Commission.
