"And I almost forgot to bow." The king got a lesson on the ways of the American press when he suggested that reporters thrusting micro phones at him after the tour get together and use one microphone. "Are you all from the same television station?" he asked. When a radio reporter explained the news media were very competitive in Philadelphia, King Carl Gustaf replied, "That's very good."

V 1 C i Proposed b udget OKi'-' HARRISBURG (AP) A House- Senate 'conference committee has ap proved a new version of the state budget for next year which cuts $26 million'from earlier proposed increases for welfare and education grants to local school districts. The committee voted 4-2 last night to send the $4.7 billion package to the House floor for a yes or no vote. The new bill still is funded without any tax in creases. The Senate plans to vote on the measure today. . Both chambers are trying to complete the budget before the primary, a record pace. ~.,, The new budget bill is " $32 million under the original Senate version, $4 million under the House proposal, and $49 million under what Gov. Shapp wanted. Most state operations would , be given about three or four per cent more than they received this year. - Welfare recipients would get $502,6 million in grants, $19.9 million less than what Shapp had requested. Individual grants would not be cut. Rep. Stephen Wodjak, chairman of the committee, indicated that the lower figure still would be enough to adequately fund welfare grants.

"We are transferring our function to a conference committee ... We should stop this abominable' process of . making a state budget," Butera said. ~ • 1 Rep.

"You will only have an opportunity to vote yes or no when it comes befoie you," Seltzer told lawmakers:\ But Wojdak, the budget's chief sponsor in the House, hailed the spend ing plan as a "very tight but, very humane state budget."
