( “How we treat middle-income fam ilies is going to be probably the most important” issue for the Senate- House conference, Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, D-111., chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, said yesterday. “I think the House bill is a bit better in that area,” Senate Majority Lead er Bob Dole, ( R-Kan., volunteered. Appearing’ with Rostenkowski on ABC-TV’s “Good Morning America” program, Dole stopped short of say ing he would like to see negotiators depart from the tax-rate structure in the Senate bill to pay for greater relief for the middle class. “Obviously, all of us want to keep the rates as low as we can,” Dole said. Rostenkowski agreed but added: “There are areas that we’re going to have to negotiate in order to keep those rates that low.” “A lot of middle-income people are going to be surprised that they will have to pay more tax under the Senate bill,” said Janice M.

Account they are going to be’hit and they haven’t really thought about it,” she said. The tax plan that the Senate ap proved Tuesday on a 97-3 vote would cut individual taxes by an average ol; 6.4 percent. Several lawmakers, in cluding some of the most vocal sup porters of the bill, said they were counting on negotiators to come up with a final plan that would be fairer to the middle class. Senior tax-writers from the House and Senate will begin working on a compromise bill around July 15. Leaders hope to get the final measure to President Reagan for his signature about Labor Day. Concerns about the middle class are based on estimates that under the Senate bill, the afte.r-tax income of people earning between $30,000 and $40,000 would be raised by 0.4 percent less than one-third the 1.4 percent boost for those making over $200,000 a year. The House plan would raise the after-tax income of the $30,000-40,000 group by 1.0 percent, and of the over s2oo,ooo group by 1.9 percent.

Investigators in the Pittsburgh suburb of Upper St. Clair Town ship at first thought that an error in judgment led to a crash at 11 p.m. Tuesday that killed two 17-year-old township girls and injured five others, said Deputy Chief Harry Fruecht. But Coroner Joshua Perper’s office said the driver, Laura Kliphouse, had a blood alcohol level of .12 percent, more than the .10 percent recognized by the law as intoxication. Kliphouse’s passenger, Kristin McMaster, had a blood alcohol level of .03 percent, well under the legal limit, Perper’s office said. Police said Kliphouse was apparently trying to cross all four lanes of U.S. 19 from a side street when her car, carrying five passengers, was struck in succession by two other cars. Her car burst into flames after the crash. Meanwhile, the coroner’s office said blood tests showed that the driver who killed himself and a passenger in a separate crash Tuesday morning had consumed nearly twice the alcohol needed to be considered drunk. John Selzer, who had turned 21 on Monday, had a blood alcohol level of .19 percent, nearly twice the legal limit. Gerald Payton, 19, one of five passengers in the compact car, had a blood alcohol level of .32, Perper said. Payton also died. 4 ' <S & Police said witnesses and skid marks indicated Selzer was driving at least twice the posted 35 mph speed limit when the car uprooted a utility pole, overturned and burned. Eric Calfo, 19, of Clairton was in serious condition at Mercy Hospital. Richard Bumford, 16, of Pittsburgh was in fair condition at Presbyterian-University Hospital. Holly Cassidy, 16, and Dana McAndrew, 14, both of Pittsburgh were in fair condition at Children’s Hospital. Kliphouse’s passengers included Joseph Thomas, 18, Jill Munns, 15, and Michael C. Sutt, 18, who were in serious condition at Allegheny General Hospital. Richard Dunham, 18, was in stable condition at St. Clair Memorial Hospital. One of the other drivers, Raymond Thomas, 24, was in critical condition at Allegheny General. ft . t 1 } :l ,h House approves Sunshine bill HARRISBURG (AP) The House approved legislation yester day that would bolster the state’s “Sunshine Law” and allow greater public access to governmental meetings. The bill would require government agencies to open meetings held “for the purpose of making a decision.” The current Sunshine Act, as interpreted by a 1977 Commonwealth Court ruling, only guarantees access to meetings when votes are to be taken. Thomas DeWall, executive director of Common Cause Pennsyl vania, said the bill was a compromise between supporters of a stronger law and local governments, which generally opposed more extensive changes. The legislation also would strengthen notification requirements for public meetings and expand what agencies and governmental units must include in the official minutes of public meetings. Under the legislation, closed “executive sessions” could still be held to discuss such topics as personnel matters, employment, labor relations, disciplinary actions or real estate transactions. In addition, it would allow public officials to associate informally without fear that they are holding an illegal governmental meeting. nation news briefs u'-;- Girl wrestler settles sex-bias suit SEATTLE (AP) A high school that refused to allow a member of a visiting varsity team to wrestle because the athlete was female has agreed to apologize and pay the young woman $5OO. “ In a settlement proposed by the state Human Rights Commis sion, Marysville-Pilchuck High School must apologize to Carey Rosenow, its own students and to the student body of Vashon Island High School. Rosenow, who pinned three opponents last season while a member of the Vashon High boys’ varsity wrestling team, was told she could not wrestle at a Marysville tournament because she was female. Her team walked out and she filed a sex discrimination com plaint with the commssion. “Apparently we were in violation of the law,” said Dean Farley, Marysville School District assistant superintendent. “If that was so, we had to handle it. I don’t think it was ever our intention to discriminate.” Rosenow, 17, finished in fourth place in her league with a 6-5 record. world news briefs Brazil renews relations with Cuba BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) The government on yesterday said it was re-establishing diplomatic relations with Cuba, severed 22 years ago by Brazil after its military staged a right-wing coup. Roberto Abreu Sodre, minister of Foreign Relations, made the announcement at a news conference at the Foreign Ministry. Moves by Brazil and by Cuban President Fidel Castro to re establish relations have been rumored for some time. Last year, the Foreign Relations Committee of Brazil’s House of Representatives unanimously approved renewed diplomatic ties with Castro’s Communist government. U.S. Embassy spokesman Bill Barr said the Reagan administra tion views the new ties with Cuba as “an internal matter of Brazil.” However, one U.S. Embassy official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Brazilian announcement might stir debate in the White House. Brazil’s diplomatic relations with Cuba were broken in 1964 shortly after the Brazilian armed forces staged a right-wing military coup that overthrew the leftist but democratically elected government of Joao Goulart. Ireland prepares for divorce vote DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) The government’s campaign to break the church-dominated mold of Irish society reaches a critical stage today when the country votes on whether to remove the ban on divorce from its constitution. The issue has split this 97-percent Roman Catholic country down the middle. The latest opinion poll forecasts a 55-45 defeat for Prime Minister Garret Fitz Gerald’s reform, keeping Ireland one of the last European countries where couples are legally bound to stay married for life. The Anti-Divorce Campaign, which has spearheaded the resis tance to legalized divorce, said the poll in yesterday’s Irish Times confirmed data it received from its branches throughout the country. The Divorce Action Group, campaigning for the amendment, has said it needs a big victory in the capital’s metropolitan area to offset rural conservatism. Joe Dennehy, spokesman for the group, said he hoped those who thought the result was sure to favor divorce would be sufficiently alarmed by the poll to vote in the referendum. If the poll is borne out, it would reflect a remarkable turnaround in Irish opinion. Just nine weeks ago, when Fitz Gerald unveiled the legislation, the pro-divorce camp seemed to be 20 percentage points ahead. But a smoothly executed campaign against divorce, backed by the Catholic Church and feeding off widespread disenchantment with Fitz Gerald’s austerity policies, has consistently fended off the pro-divorce camp. The divide opened by the debate is readily seen in the placards that festoori Dublin’s streetlamps. “Protect the Family Vote NO,” vies with “Put Compassion in the Constitution Vote YES."
