What's particularty disgusting are their mass mailings to voters of \newsletters\ that are nothing more than re-election propaganda. A recent survey showed: that the Senate along spent $40 million of taxpayers' money for postage on newsletters mailed in 1982. Unfortunately, .the Supreme Court ruled against Common Cause the other day. So the flood of political propaganda from Capitol Hill will continue, to the benefit of incumbents, to the disad- vantage of challengers, to the pain of taxpayers, and to the detriment of the principle of fair elections. -BIRMINGHAM (Ala.) POST-HERALD 25,000 Vie For Trooper Training Class ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI) - More than 25,000 le took the state trooper tion at 26 sites statewide over the weekend, state police said. Kurt Wachenheim, a state police spokesman, said 25,49 people took the multiple choice test Saturday at schools, armories and other public buildings across the state. Of the more than 25,000, 155 will be chosen to attend the 23- week training class in October. Trainees earn $16,018 and their salary goes to about $18,000once they become troopers, Wachen- heim said. By court order, 40 percent of those chosen for the class must be members of a minority and 10 percent must be women, Wachenheim said. The previous record number of people taking the state trooper test was 22,000 set in 1975. Wachenheim said one reason for the high turnout was high unemployment in the state.

Arthur Eddy and County GOP (J R Photo) Cout Receives Lease Pal-Osals ALBION - Efforts to develop the l1-acre site in the Town of Carlton to help spur the Orleans County fishing and boating economy appear brighter after the county received three \letters of intent\ from potential developers of the site. According to Legislature chairman Dick Eddy, three Western New York firms met the May 10 deadline by sub mitting the lettersof intent to the County Planning ment. The county, including Planning Department director Patrick Rountree, will now contact each of the three in- terested firms to discuss their proposals for the park's development. \It's good news to get this far,\ Eddy said. \Now that we have three firm ideas, we will talk over the specificationsthe state and the county have drawn up for the site. Both the state and the county want to see certain things done with the land, but we are flexible.\ County officials are hopeful that a firm proposal will be submitted by one or all of the three interested firms in the next month. It will then be up to the County Legislature to decide which of the three firms will be awarded a 25-year lease for the property. Rountree said it is possible construction could start this year with the park Man Burned In Tractor Blaze ALBION -- An Albion man suffered first and secont degree burns of his hands Saturday morning in a fire which destroyed a farm tractor and caused damage to a car and a barn, Orleans County Sheriff's deputies said.

In Jerusalem, the Israeli Knesset also was expected to approve the accord today after a long debate. Israel radio said Lebanese and Israeli officials would formally signthe agree- ment Tuesday. A spokesman for Israel's opposition Labor Party said it would abstain in the vote because the agreement gave Syriaveto power over Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon. Beirut radio said the 80 membersof parliament present at the closed session voted with a \unanimous yes\ to a Cabinet policy statement on the U.S.-mediated accord calling for the withdrawal of Israel's 30,000 troops. Under Lebanese law, parlia- mentary approval was not required, but government sources said President Amin Gemayel was seeking a nation- al consensus to counter opposi- tion from Syria and the PLO. PLO Chief Yasser Arafat Sunday rejected the agreement and called for a new Arab war against Israel. \War is the only way,\ Arafat said. \The PLO will foil all U.S. schemesand say no to (President) Reagan's attempts to dominate the Arab region.\ Lebanon's parliament first listened to a governiient policy statement on the troop-with- drawalagreement, and without debate gave its unanimous approval, Beirutradio said.

Sunday's edition of the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, the organ of the Communist Youth League, said mail from Americans in every age group and every walk of life reaches the Soviet leader daily \The main thingthat alarms every one of them to take pen in hand is the continuing arms race and knowing the world stands on the brink of nuclear catastrophe,\ the newspaper said. More than a year ago, a group from the Children's Campaign for Nuclear Disar- manent brought 2,082 letters to Washington - but \their callto stop the arms race was not heard in the WhiteHouse,\ the report said. \Isn't that why Samantha Smith sent her letter to a differentaddress?\ Komsomol- skaya Pravda asked, referring to the 10-year-old Maine girl who wrote to Andropov express- ing concern about the arms Tace. She later received a letter from Andropov, assuring her that be did not want war. The youngster has accepted An- dropov's invitation to visit Moscow. \It is truly amazing to what degree Americanpropaganda is poisonous, if people have to write letters across the ocean in order to find vut if the Soviet people are for peace or not,\ the newspaper said Sunday. However, at least one corre- spondent had a complaint. \It looks like I am definitely being set upby the Russians,\ James Phelps of Minneapolis said when informed by telephone of his letter's publication in the newspaper.

After Lebanon OKs Pact Saturday, ends the state of war between Lebanon and Israel and outlines details of security arrangements in southern. Lebanon. Lebanese officials said the agreement did not bind Leba- non to diplomatic commit- ments, and was in no way a peace treaty like that signed betweenEgyptand Israel. ''It is just a step further than the 1949 Armistice agreement which other Arab states have also signed at the time,\ a government official said. \Foreign Minister ElleSalem read out the government's policy statement outlining the withdrawal agreement. After the statement was read, Beirut parliamentarian Saeb Salam took the floor and tabled a motion of confidence. A vote was taken and it was unani- mous,\ Beirut radio said. Parliament's vote of confi- dence was expected to further strengthenGemayel'sattempts to counter Syrian opposition and get Israeli troops out of the country.

Security was extremely tight in Beirut because of the battles and assassinations that have plagued the capital over the past decade. Tanks guarded Beirut's Mansour palace and police and army troops were deployed on steets outside. The Israeli Knesset vote also was not legally binding. The deputies technically were voting only on Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir's statement last week on the government's decision to accept the agree- mentin principle. | Arafat vehemently rejected the agreement in a speech in Damascus Sunday to field commanders of his Al Fatah guerrilla group. 1984 Bydget Tops By IRA R. ALLEN WASHINGTON (UPI) - The much-debatedbutstillunpassed 1984 budget tops the congres- sional agenda this week, with the Senate hoping to come up with a version that can win approval. Sen. Bob Dole, RKan., Sunday expressed hope Demo- crats and Republicans in the Senate can be coaxed to put together \a fairly conservative budget resolution.\ In addition to taking up the budget, the Senate is expected toconfirm William Ruckelshaus as Environmental Protection Agency chief, debate immigra- tion legislation and may take up the MX missile. The House is expected to vote to repeal tax withholding on interest and dividends and vote on raising the nation's debt cefling. Dole, appearing on ABC's \This Week with David Brink- ley,\ called on President Reagan to get more involved in the debate. Dole said he expects the deficit over the next three years will be \550 to 650 billion dollars any way you slice it. But we still haven't had ... that full-court press by the presi- dent.\ \That's why ... I hope the president might indicate he'd like to be a party to the budget process, even though it's a congressional discipline. It'snot a spectator sport.\ The Senate rejected two 1964 budget plans last Thursday, one backed by Reagan and Republi- can leaders and the other by moderate Republicans, and ordered its Budget Committee to have a new spending plan ready by Wednesday. GOP leader Howard Baker, Budget Committee Chairman Pete Domenici, R-N.M., and Sen. Charles Mathias. R-Md. a Congressional Agenda leading GOP moderate, all have expressed confidence a new budget proposal will pass the full Senate by midweek. Several moderate Republi- cans on the Budget Committee said taxes will have to be raised by at least $9 billion - $6.4 billion more than Reagan would accept - for any budget to have a chance of passage; 'To win Senate approval, Republican leaders acknowl- edge they must move more toward their own moderate members and Democrats. They held all of their conservatives in line last week and still lost. Reagan probably will suffer another defeat this week when the House takes up a Ways and Means Committee bill to repeal withholding of 10 percent of income from savings accounts and investments. The Senate previously bowed to intense pressure from the nation's bankers and brokers, and voted to put off the July 1 start of withholding for four years. But the House commit- tee rejected that proposal and sent a plan to simply repeal withholding to the full House. The Senate is expected to go along, and Reagan has dropped his earlier threats to veto the measure. The Senate will debate Reagan'snomination of Rucke} shaus to head the embattled EPA. Little opposition is expected on the vote, set for Tuesday. Ruckelshaus has won the - unanimous _ recom- mendation of a Senate com- mittee.
