Cities would be exempt

Panel wants guidelines changed

By DANIEL BEEGAN Associated Press Writers INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Federal anti-inflation guidelines should be changed so cities could use local cost-of-living figures, rather than a flat 7 percent limit, in deciding on pay raises for municipal workers, a subcommittee of the National League of Cities has recommended. The subcommittee voted Tuesday to ask the federal Council on Wage and Price Stability to exempt cities from the

Senate okays bill providing penalities for safety violations

WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., said construction discrepancies at the Marble Hill nuclear plant near Madison, Ind., prompted his proposal Tuesday to impose heavy criminal penalties for violations of safety regulations at nuclear plants. The proposed amendment to the 1980 Nuclear Regulatory Commission authorization bill passed the Senate. 60-32. ;If enacted, the amendment would levy fines up to $25,000 a day and two years imprisonment for violations of safety regulations relating to construction and operation of nuclear power plants, uranium enrichment facilities or processing plants. Second offenses could result in maximum fines of $50,000 a day and two years imprisonment under the proposal. Bayh told the Senate, “The basic question we must answer Threat spurs evacuation INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -Sev enty-eight passengers aboard a Delta Airlines plane were evacauted at Indianapolis International Airport and their departure delayed more than two hours Tuesday night because of a telephoned bomb threat, officials said. -They said no explosives were found.

guideline which now attempts to limit wage increases to 7 percent. Panel members said that guideline makes it difficult for cities to compete with private industry in attracting and retaining qualified workers. Instead, the panel said, cities should be allowed to give raises up to 80 percent of the cost of living in a specific geographic area. But the subcommittee also recommended that a 10 percent maximum be placed on pay raises. Under such a plan, if federal figures showed that the cost of

It seems to me if it’s going to play a role, then we must be certain nuclear generating plants are going to be as safe as humanly possible. “I have been quietly investigating the matter at Marble Hill ever since the first disclosures of the construction defects, and in so doing have become increasingly worried we might be sitting on a time bomb down there.”

living in a given city rose by 12 percent, city workers would be entitled to a maximum raise of 9.6 percent. The subcommittee also recommended that any increases in health care insurance premiums be figured separately from other wage and fringe benefit increases and be excluded from the limitation. That exclusion would not apply to increases because of new insurance benefits, however. Susan Clark, a league staff member, told the subcommittee of city personnel officials and elected officials from throughout the nation that the federal government would be announcing changes in the guidelines next month. President Carter has indicated he is considering changes in the 7 percent guideline to make it fairer to workers who have been losing ground to inflation.

Osco could lose liquor license

ABC questions definition of drugstore

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The definition of the term drug store dominated opening arguments by lawyers at an Indiana Alcoholic Beverage Commission hearing to determine whether Osco Drug Inc.’s eight Indianapolis stores have the right to a liquor license. Earlier this year, the Marion County Liquor Board recommended unanimously that Osco’s licenses for the eight stores not be renewed, claiming their businesses did not qualify them as drugstores.

Children of migrant workers file suit

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) A clas*s action suit was filed in federal court Tuesday on behalf of children of migrant farm workers who have been denied participation in CETA programs because their parents are unregistered aliens. The suit, filed on behalf of

At Tuesday’s meeting. Lewis Taylor, personnel director for the city of Philadelphia, warned against recommending too great a change in the guidelines. “The only way to stop inflation is to stop giving raises,” Taylor said. Another subcommittee member, Birmingham, Ala., City Council President Nina Miglionico, warned that even without federal inflation guidelines, salary increases are limited by how much taxpayers are willing to pay. Ms. Clark also said federal officials should make it clear that the guidelines represent the maximum raise a worker can expect, and is not a guaranteed pay increase. The subcommittee meeting was part of a two-day NLC session here on labor relations, which ended Tuesday.

“The evidence is clearly going to show that for want of a better term, Osco is a variety store,” attorney Gordon L. Harper argued in his opening statement to the commission on Tuesdays. Harper, who is also a state representative, is the lawyer for the Marion County chapter of the Indiana Liquor Stores Association, which has opposed continued licensing of Osco. But attorney J.B. King, who represents Osco, argued that his client had been singled out

for special treatment and that a regulation on sales has been applied in no other area of the state to disqualify a drugstore from obtaining a liquor license. Under state law, drugstores are the only businesses, other than package stores, taverns and restaurants, which may sell hard liquor. Beer and wine may be sold in grocery stores. King also argued that the move by the Marion County board was an attempt to stifle competition between Osco and package stores, and that it

State law and ABC regulations require that a substantial portion of a drugstore’s business be the sale of drugs and related items in order to qualify for a liquor permit. At a news conference before the ABC hearing, Warren Spangle, executive vice president of the Liquor Stores Association, argued that without the regulation that drugstores have 50 percent of sales from drugs and related items, virtually any

He elso argued that competition was not the reason for. his association’s involvement in the case. Spangle said that a> survey of alcoholic beverage ads in newspapers throughout-,. Indiana showed that package., store prices for liquor are competitive with those charged by Osco. Further hearings are sched- , uled in the case and an ABC; decision is not expected until next month. Most of Tuesday’s hearing was concerned with the introduction of written evidence.
