An unofficial count indicated 19 of the he 20 Democrats and six of the 29 Republican senators would vote for the Democratic tax package making 25 votes or just enough to pass.

Sheer weight of unsettled legislation, however, was expected to keep lawmakers working Thursday for fourth day of overtime. LATEST TALLIES showed about 75 bills and resolutions still hanging in conference committees or awaiting concurrence by one chamber to amendments made by the other. Mere mechanics of dealing with the pending measures made it unlikely that the session, supposed to have ended last Saturday, would wind up Wednesday. In addition to taxation, the legislature was faced with the touchy issues of reapportionment. Five times the Senate and House have passed realignment plans but never "the same one in both chambers.

Although more reapportionment votes were expected before adjournment, many lawmakers voiced doubt they could agree on a solution. A panel of three federal judges has ordered the current legislature to reapportion both houses on a population basis, but the feeling grew that the court itself would have to do the job. The Senate and House Wednesday worked on an alternating schedule which called for floor sessions one hour and conference committee meetings for the next hour. enabling members to try reaching compromises on pending legislation. WHILE LAWMAKERS were struggling with the tax problem, Robert P.

McCarney, Bismarck businessman, said he was waiting only for the final wording of the measure before starting petitions to refer the tax program. Seven thousand signatures would be required on petitions which would have to be filed with the secretary of state within 90 days of the adjournment of the legislature. McCarney said Wednesday he was certain that the Senate would pass out the administration's tax program sometime Wednesday. "It's an impossibility to amend it and the senators said they were ready to get it out of the Senate and down to the governor," McCarney said. HE SAID he would refer the entire tax program as offered by the Democrats and at the same time offer voters initiated measures which would increase the sales tax from cent on the present base, raise local bonding limits and' eliminate all of the personal property tax as of Jan.

25, 1966. said that his measure on the personal property taxes would enumerate the specific items which would be eliminated SO that railroad and utility property could be kept on the tax rolls. "We'll eliminate all of the personal property tax but those utilities items mentioned last fall." McCarney said. His effort to remove personal property taxes last November failed and one of the criticisms was that the utility property would also go by the board. UNCHANGED in any major respect.

the Democratic program calls for federalization and increase of income taxes with a general withholding system starting July 1, abolishing of all personal property taxes starting in 1966 and a boost in sales taxes from to 3 per cent to replace abolished personal property taxes. Tuesday's action came on adoption of a third conference committee report recommending passage of the new act for tax simplification and -a title bestowed by the Democratic house majority. Seven Republic Lawrence Bowman of Bowman, Frances Froeschle of Fargo. Brynhild Haugland of Minot. Peter Hilleboe of Fargo, Albert Rivinius of Elgin, Earl Rundle of New England Jacque Stockman of Fargo- -voted for the bill.

No Democrats voted against it, and Democratic Rep. Patrick Ruddy of Grand Forks and GOP Rep. John Whittles of Fargo were absent. House Republicans bombarded Democratic Rep. Herbert L.

Meschke of Minot with questions after he explained latest amendments and added. "I believe we are about to act upon the most memorable legislation it the state's history." Rep. Vernon Wagner, R- Bismarck, said the income tax withholding provision an undue burden the wage earners of this state, because we are placing on them two years of tax in one year." Meschke replied the withholding provision would begin July 1 and create a one-half year overlap bringing in about $1.1 million. REP. RUSSELL Duncan, Agency for Labor Gets Senate Okay By The Associated Press The North Dakota Senate passed bills Tuesday to create separate state departments of labor and employment security.

Both bills were returned to the House of Representatives for agreement to major amendments. The measure creating a state labor commissioner passed 40-8 but not in the form long demanded by Democrats and many laboring groups. It would elect the labor com- Fargo, questioned what assurance there is that real estate taxes would not rise under provisions of the bill. The Minot lawmaker answered there are no provisions in the bill for real estate mill levy increases. But he said various taxing districts would, as they can now, be able to increase levies if they are not at the present limits.

Meschke also explained the bill would require taxing districts to lower general fund operating levies by the amount the bill allows an increase in bonding levies. Bonding mill must be allowed to increase, he explained, because personal property valuations no longer would exist. GOP MINORITY Leader Bryce Streibel of Fessenden. said Republicans were in what taxpayers will say of the impact this tax measure will have on their He said the appealing feature of the bill is elimination of personal property taxes, and the Republicans are on record in favor of this. "But we are sorry a tax reform plan like this is contained in one measure we feel this was too large a reform to expedite in the short amount of time we have had." Streibel asserted.

He warned Democrats: "This will leave an impact in the lower income groups that could have a disastrous effect." DEMOCRATIC Rep. L. C. Loerch of Harvey said in his business and others, repeal of personal property levies would allow carrying larger inventories, more sales and a larger profit margin. This, he said, allow employers to pay higher salaries that would "more than offset" the increased income taxes wage earners will have to pay under the bill.

In a blunt attack, Republican Rep. John A. Coles of Bismarck told the House: bill takes one hand of the state out of the businessman and farmer's pocket and allows it to stick both hands in the wage earner's pocket." Meschke answered Coles by saying the income tax increases, at their greatest, are only $32 up to a salary of $12,000 a year.

Long Wagon Journey Delayed for Supplies ALTUS. Okla. (AP) Don Cunningham, his wife and two children delayed their Texas-toCanada wagon trip Wednesday long enough to earn money for supplies. Cunningham, 33; his wife, Shirley, 30; and their children. Anna, 3, and Will, 5, plodded into this city 2 Tuesday in their wagon, pulled alternately by a horse and a mule.

The family left Spring Creek, three weeks ago, bound for their homestead at McBride, B.C.. 3.000 miles away. They left Canada sometime ago to go to Texas and buy cattle. But in Texas, medical bills ate up their savings and they left for Canada with only $5. supplies and a registered heifer which Cunningham hopes will be the start of a herd on his Canadian farm.

They expect to arrive at their destination in late August or early September. General Denies Viet Equipment Is Shoddy WASHINGTON (AP) Gen. William C. Westmoreland. U.S.

Westmoreland issued a report in which he said an Associated Press story on complaints of shoddy equipment being issued U.S. troops in South Viet Nam "is a compilation of statements taken out of context." assure you that our can forces there are getting adeequipment," he said. quate missioner to terms on a no-party ballot starting next year year.

As it had passed the House, the commissioner would have been appointed by the governor. At present the labor commissioner is an appointed deputy under the commissioner of agriculture and labor, the latter a party elected official. Before passage, the Senate dropped a section which would have the new commissioner named by the agriculture commissioner until the 1966 election. The Senate approved 25-23 a bill creating a separate employment security division, including unemployment compensation. BOTH DIVISIONS now are under the Workmen's Compensation Bureau, and the House version would have placed them under the separate labor commissioner.

Six Republicans and two Democrats voted against the labor commissioner bill, while 22 GOP senators and one Democrat opposed the employment service measure. Passed 63-40 in the House were conference committee amendments to the bill that would allow continued operation of the state hail insurance department. Generally the bill gives Insurance Commissioner K. 0. Nygaard authority to establish a new program based on township and range districts.

AMENDMENTS require the insurance commissioner to make the new insurance rates public in advance and make the bill effective beginning Jan. 1 of next year. Hail insurance will be sold under the present program this year a program that has continually cost the state money. In other action, the House voted 104-0 to pass a Senateamended bill setting the Jamestown State Hospital budget at just over $8 million. That's an increase of about $100,000 from what the House approved originally and just over $200,000 higher than the budget board recommendations.

Three proposed legislative research committee studies were indefinitely postponed by the House. They would have required studies of vocational training and retraining programs, establishment of a state department of commerce and bonding procedures for public improvements in cities and villages. TUESDAY NIGHT the Senate passed 40-9 a bill transferring Jamestown State Hospital from control of the Board of Administration to the State Health Department. It was returned to the House for concurrence in amendments. The measure was all the legislature salvaged from bills originally aimed at abolishing the board of administration' or transferring at least Jamestown Hospital, Grafton State School and San Haven Tuberculosis Sanitarium to the Health Department.

Grafton and San Haven were dropped from the measure, which had failed by one vote to pass the Senate Monday. The Senate also dropped resolutions urging that bandleader Lawrence Welk receive an honorary degree from a state college or university and mourning the death of Earl C. Reineke of Fargo, one of the founders of radio station WDAY. THE HOUSE in its Tuesday night session agreed with Senate amendments and passed 76- 16 a constitutional amendment allowing issuance of up to some $30 million in general obligation bonds to help construct buildings and finance other projects. The amendment would have to be approved by voters next year.

Thrown into conference committee was a Senate resolution urging construction of a scenic route connecting units of Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park in the western North Dakota Badlands. As passed by the House, the National Park Service would be urged to build the road. Senators amended it to urge construction by the U.S. Forest Service. THE HOUSE concurred with Senate amendments and passed a resolution ordering a state audit and investigation of funds spent by the now defunct Dakota Territorial Centennial Commission.

Also tossed into conference committee was an amended version of the House-passed bill allowing compulsory unitization of oil fields. The House tabled an amended bill which originally was designed to authorize law enforcement officers to arrest a person when they had reasonable cause to believe an offense had been committed or attempted. indefinitely postponed was another highly amended bill requiring employers to give empioyes time off to vote in elections.
