Top Treasury Officials Hail Tax Reform Bill (Continued A hint that some tighter treatment might be in the administration's mind was voiced by Assistant Secretary Edwin S.

Cohen, who said the Treasury's aim was "to make sure the nation gets its money's worth" from the incentives, in the form of preferred tax treatment, that are given the mining industries. Neither Cohen nor Walker would say, however, whether the administration intended to recommend a change in the committee's decision to cut the oil depletion allowance from to 20 per cent. "Depletion has become too much of a symbol of a tax loophole," Walker said. He explained how outer, provisions of the tax law enable oil operators to reduce their taxable income to zero, even if the depletion allowance is reduced. Among other items in the bill that the Treasury would like to see changed are the provisions dealing with financial institutions and with taxation of on municipal bonds.

On the latter point, the Treasdissatisfaction is not so much with the tax provisions themselves as with the federal subsidy that would be used to help state and local governments that chose to market taxable bonds, the subsidy provisions "need more work," Walker said, indicating that he foresaw no particular difficulty on the matter. As for the changes affecting the taxes of banks, mutual savings banks and saving and loans, Walker said he thought these changes should be considered only i in conjunction with the results of a study that is currently going on concerning regulation of the interest rates charged and paid by these institutions, their investment powers, and so on.

Conder said the contracts and tenures of teachers and other school personnel in the former system will be honored in the merged system. He added that the city school superintendent, Joe Duke, will given a administrative position" in the merged system. The consolidation abolished the city school board and the position of city school superintendent.

State Law permits the merger of the two systems with the independent or city system a part of the county system. The completion of the consolidation cannot be done without approval of both boards. Planning for the merger began in April, 1966 with a survey made by the state department of education. The survey, made at the request of both boards, advocated the consolidation of the two systems. The county system levied an occupational tax last September to provide funds for construction of new schools and upgrading of existing schools.

Conder has estimated nual revenues to exceed 000. The tax amounts to onehalf of one per cent of a person's income. Under the consolidated plan, there will be one central high school, which is expected to be constructed within three years. The new high school will replace the North and South Marshall high schools and the High School. Elementary schools will be set up in the North and South Marshall High School complexes with the Benton High School becoming a part of the Benton Elementary School, which is undergoing remodeling to be completed by In addition "there' will be an elementary school in Calvert City, which was completed in January.

United Airlines sought pet mission to raise fares an average of about 6.6 per cent and there were indications that er domestic carriers will be asking similar rate boosts within a few days. Pan American World Airways proposed reductions of as much as 23 per cent to be made possible by its inauguration of a Great Circle route between New York and Tokyo, via Fairbanks, Alaska.

A Trans World Airlines spokesman in New York said his company will seek a fare increase within a few days and it is known that other major air trunk lines are preparing requests for boosts.

Liberalizations yoted by the committee in the administration's proposals to crack down on individuals who farm as hobby and deduct their losses from their incomes were also criticized by Cohen.

Overall, however, he described the bill as one that "goes a long way toward closing most of the glaring loopholes in the law or else minimizing their effects." Walker echoed this theme by calling the bill "a major piece of highly constructive tax legislation" and emphasizing what he described as the nonpartisan manner in which the committee worked it out. The present plan is to bring the bill to the House floor for debate on Wednesday and a vote on Thursday.

The contracts with both domestic and foreign organizations are part of a program which began Jan.

1, 1969. The projection of $848 million was based on contracts signed so far, according to the AEC. Toll enrichment is an AEC service to enrich privately owned uranium in the fissionable isotopes U-235. The service is performed here, at Oak Ridge and Portsmouth, Ohio. Under the program the custo tomer furnished the uranium feed material and pays an enriching charge to AEC, receivling enriched enriched uranium in return.

material is used as fuel in nuclear power plants. The total revenue involved in the 23 contracts includes $400 million from overseas mers, providing a favorable impact on U.S. balance of payments, the AEC pointed out. During the first seven months of the toll program the commission has signed 16 contracts with organizations in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Japan, Sweden Switzerland. Union Carbide Corp -Nuclear Division is operator of the gaseous diffusion plant here which was built in 1950-54 at a cost of $750 million and now employs about 1,100 people.

Since the first of the year, the commission also signed seven contracts with domestic organizations totaling nearly $448 million. The contracts are with Kerr McGee Corporation ($9.4 million); Westinghouse Electric ($10.1 million); General Electric ($21 million); Philadelphia Electric ($187 million); Babco*ck and Wilcox ($5.3 million) and Commonwealth Edison, two contracts ($110 million and $105 million). The enriched uranium resulting from the services and destined for overseas applications is distributed abroad in accordlance with intergovernmental Agreements for Cooperation with appropriate safeguards "against use of the material for anything other than peaceful applications. Toll enrichment was provided for in the Private Ownership of Special Nuclear Materials Act of 1964 and is part of a program providing for a transition from government ownership of nuclear material to ownership by private enterprise. All nuclear fuel being used in U.S.

power owned reactors must be privately by July 1, 1973. The Act prohibits AEC from distributing enriched uranium by lease for U.S., power reactor use after December 31, 1970, and also specifies that such material previously acquired by reactor operators from AEC may not remain on lease after June 30, 1973., Kirby Rushing, Fredonia, Dies; Services Today EDDYVILLE, Aug. 1- Kirby Rushing, 78, of Fredonia, died Thursday in a rest home in Kuttawa.

Davids said Collins had been under surveillance even before Miss Beineman's body was discovered. The State Police director was ordered to head the probe by Gov. William Milliken on Wednesday. The director said Collins resembles a composite sketch prepared with the help of two clerks who reported seeing Miss Beineman ride away from an Ypsilanti wig shop last week behind a young man driving a motorcycle.

Davids said Collins had access to motorcycles, but the director gave no details. Collins stood mute at a pretrial hearing in District Court, and an innocent plea was entered for him. His attorney, who accompanied him at the time of arrest, demanded access to evidence but Washtenaw County authorities said they preferred to wait until the next court hearling to reveal it. Collins was taken to nearby Ann Arbor and held without bond. Eastern Michigan University records indicated Collins went to high high school in Center Line, a Detroit suburb, and attended Central Michigan University at Mount Pleasant in 1965 and 1966.

He transferred to Eastern and is listed as a student in good standing. He was enrolled in a curriculumn for elementary school teachers and was specialiizng in English, speech and social science. He was scheduled to graduate in January, Eastern Michigan said.

Three, including Miss Beineman, were Eastern students. Two attended the University of Michigan at old high school dropout Ann Arbor. One was a 16-year-city other a 13-year-old junior high school pupil who lived near the Eastern campus.

He called the Park Board system a "disastrous mistake," adding that when it was disbanded, it was comprised mainly of Democrats. "Such a step would be a giant step backward," Gable said.
