I The company I work for recently instituted a pension plan sponsored by an insurance company and based, I believe, on the Keough Act, whereby a portion of one's earnings can be set aside for one's retirement.

Although I was eligible for the scheme on an age basis, I was older than the remainder of the workers and was excluded on the grounds that it would have "skyrocketed" the cost to the company. My questions are: Is the company action within the law? From where can I get a copy of the Keough Act? J.G., Tucson. A The Keough Act, passed in 1962, provides for setting up deferred compensation plans for self-employed persons and some types of small (unincorporated) business firms. You can get a pamphlet outlining the provisions of the act at the Internal Revenue Service office at 179 S. Tucson Blvd.

Presumably you have a copy of, or access to, your company's pension plan, so you then can check its provisions with the Keough Act and if it appears you have been improperly excluded from the company plan you may have legal recourse through your own attorney. The Water from Avra Valley is flowing along Valencia Road toward the Martin Reservoir. An engineer of the water utility told me that Drexel Heights residents would enjoy soft water direct from the pumps and standpipe. I do not notice any difference in the water. Does the Palomino-Bilby Road-Drexel Heights area actually get softer water from Avra Valley, or will this area get such watpr soon? M.S., Tucson.

A Yes and no. Yes, the area will gel softer water soon. No, you're not getting it. now. Analysis of water samples taken following hookup of the new line from Avra Valley shows improvement of water quality but it is not getting to Drexel Heights because of the distance from the Martin Reservoir (about six or seven miles).

However, before summer a new connection from the Avra Valley source is to be made at Cardinal and Valencia Road to boost supply and pressure in the area; the direct, 12-inch outlet will bring you a softer as well as a stronger flow, according to the city water department. Could you tell me when the traffic lights will be installed at Plumer and Broadway. The light posts have been installed for a number of months but still no lights. E.B., Tucson. A The reason the lights were not installed when the posts were put up is because shipment of some of the materials needed was delayed.

As soon as the city receives the material the job will be completed, say traffic engineering spokesmen. Perhaps this is out of line but we have had a hospitalization policy for 17 years and we used it twice once in 1953 and again in 1954. Since then we've just paid and paid through the years. Once before the premium was raised, but only about $1.50 a month. Now I get notice it has been raised $7 a month.

We just can't afford to keep up this policy, but I am not old enough to be covered by Medicare. Is this raise legal, or is there some way I can get some of the money back we've paid in? Mrs. G. Cochise. A As a general rule an increase in the premium on an insurance policy accompanies an increase in benefits which the policyholder has the choice of taking or rejecting.

It is not likely that you can get any kind of refund if you drop the policy, but if you have reason to doubt the legality of the premium increase on your covereage you can have the provisions of the policy checked by officials at the State Department of Insurance, which has a Tucson office at 415 W. Congress St. a -id Is there, or has there been, regulating authority vested in the Pima County Board of Supervisors to require developers to pave streets that are to be included in the county road network to meet county requirements? The recorded plat for our subdivision indicates approval by the clerk of the board, but a footnote states the developer does not intend to pave in accordance with improvement district specifications, while other notes on the plat indicate easements and a prohibition against altering the drainage without approval of the board. It would appear that if the board had this definitive authority it would perhaps have regulatory authority pertaining to paving. W.R.G., Tucson.

A No, there is neither ordinance nor enabling legislation to empower the Board of Supervisors to require that streets be paved to county standards. But the county will not take gubstandard streets into the county roadway tystem for maintenance until they do meet those required standards. rf- SECTION PAGE ONE 1958, is also a native Anzonan. He grew up in Bisbee. Feelings among the rank and We at the police department are strong that the choice should be someone from the Tucson depart ment not an outsider.

The new chief of police will be selected by City Manager Roger O'Mara, following a civd service written and oral examination. O'Mara's choice will be subject to approval by mayor and council. O'Mara said yesterday that a selection of an interim chief will be made sometime next week. Garmire plans to leave for Miami about June 1. The interim chief will receive a starting salary "in the neighborhood of $15,000," according to Mayor Corbett.

There are five pay ranges for the chief's job. Guidelines for the selection of the new chief are established in the civil service department and the city charter, but O'Mara said yesterday some qualification demands could be waived if experience could be substituted. He cited the possession of a college degree as an example, saying that police experience could substitute for a degree. Only one of the candidates mentioned, Kessler, has a college degree. Mayor Corbett has proclaimed today Peac Officers Memorial Day.

Corbett, also proclaiming the week of May 11-17 as Police Week, urged "citizens of our community to join in these observances and to recognize the high caliber of the personnel of the Tucson Police Department." Corbett also said he recognized the sacrifices made by all peace officers in protecting the lives and property of their community, 2 Students Win King Fellowships Recipients To Pursue UA Graduate Degrees Two University of Arizona students have re ceived singular boosts in their pursuit of graduate degrees one in philosophy, the other in law. Mrs. Margaret Jones, of 243 E. Waverly and Richard Davis, of 424 E. Seneca, have been awarded Martin Luther King Jr.

Fellowships. Mrs. Jones will work toward a doctorate in philosophy and Davis a doctoral degree in law. The students received the scholarships from the Wood-row Wilson National Fellowship Foundation for outstanding black military veterans pursuing public service careers. MRS.

JONES Mrs. Jones enlisted in the Women's Army Corps in 1949 and was discharged as a corporal in 1951. Her late husband, Sgt. Richard Jones, died in a plane crash in Colorado in 1961 whils he was stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB. Davis spent four years in the Air Force after graduating from high school in Miami, in 1961.

He spent a year ana a nau of this time in Okinawa. After his discharge in 1965, he began his studies at UA. He will receive his bachelor's degree in political Sbr science at tne efld of th The scholarships will provide the students with a mini- DAVIS mum living stipend of $400 a month, including GI Bill benefits, and free tuition and fees for two years with a chance of a one-year extension. Mrs. Jones earned her bachelor's degree at UA in public administration in 1966.

She received her master's degree in social work at the University of Denver in 1968, and currently works as a sociaT worker at the Veterans Administration Hospital. Davis, who is president of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity on the UA campus, plans to work for the Legal Aid Society after getting his degree.

His classes offered by the UA educational station, were very popular not only with students but also with housewives who discovered that chemistry, properly presented, can be fascinating. TUARRC Chief Vows He Will Stay On Job The executive director of the Tucson Urban Area Regional Reviewing Committee (TUARRC) vowed yesterday to stay at work "until they run me off," despite the fact that his resignation was requested last Monday. Robert E.

Waugh reiterated a previous demand that the circumstances surrounding the resignation request be changed. In the meantime, Waugh said he has been "fulfilling my responsibilities as TUARRC's executive director." TUARRC is a local regional organization comprised of representatives of Pima County, Tucson and South Tucson. They act as a clearing agency for federal grants that affect the Greater Tucson area. On Monday, the three member governments suddenly and unexpectedly demanded Waugh's resignation. The flareup apparently came as the result of a letter which Waugh wrote and sent to federal planning officials, but which the TUARRC membership said they never authorized.

Mayor James N. Corbett Jr. said yesterday there was no change from his position on Monday, when he voted with the other two members to ask Waugh to quit. Thomas N. Jay, chairman of the Pima County Board of Supervisors he had not "heard anything" on the matter since the TUARRC meeting.

He said if Waugh had not made his move up today, he would rail on Corbett to shape a course of action. Druid Press Wins Court Battle Judge Restrains UA From Seizing Papers Hugh A. Holub, publisher of the off-campus newspaper Druid Free Press, yesterday won the first round of a federal court battle with the University of Arizona, U.S. District Court James A. Walsh ruled that the UA be temporarily restrained from seizing the publication for a period of 10 days.

Walsh set a preliminary injunction hearing for May 23 at 2 p.m. If the preliminary injunction is granted, the UA cannot confiscate the papers as it had done in the past, pending the outcome of a federal court trial. In making the ruling, Walsh said that the UA was discriminating against Holub and his paper because other off-campus publications were allowed campus distribution. The May 3 and May 12 seizures of the papers by UA officials threaten to destroy Holub's business and publication, Walsh said, and added that the action infringes on the freedom of the press. About 1,500 copies of the paper a student-oriented, publication which contains news, advertising, editorial commentary and satire on local current events were seized.

Walsh stipulated, however, that Holub could place the paper in three locations only, that they must be in a container to prevent littering and that the locations selected must be where other publications are placed. Holub put his containers out yesterday afternoon: one in front of the UA Administration another in the Student Union Arcade; and in the Park Avenue Student Center. Holub is represented in the action by attorneys Norval Jasper and Erik M. O'Dowd, who are acting on behalf of the Arizona Civil Liberties Union. Tucson has some lough competition from at least five West Coast cities when it comes to hiring a new chief of police.

One of them, San Carlos, with a population of 27,500 is advertising for a chief and ottering to pay up to $17,472 a year. Tucson Police Chief Bernard Garmire, who announced his resignation last week, has been receiving $17,160. Tucson has a population of about 243,000 and covers 76 square miles. Garmire will become chief of police in Miami, on June 1 at a salary of $24,200 a year. Miami has a population of 300,000.

The other West Coast cities looking for a chief and the salaries being offered are: Fremont, population 100,000, pay up to Huntington Beach, population 107,000, pay up to Laguna Beach, population 13,300, pay up to $15,312, and Kelso, population 11,000, pay up to $9,180. The five cities are advertising for a chief in the May issue of Western City Magazine, the official municipal publication of the Western States. Mayor James N. Corbett Jr. and the city council agreed at a council meeting Monday night that the city must review the pay scale now set for the chief of police and for other department heads.

At that time CorMt announced that Garmire was making $16,380 instead of the actual figure of $17,160 which includes a raise since the last budget. City Manager Roger O'Mara said yesterday the $16,380 figure was taken from the budget for the current fiscal year and did not reflect the raise that went to most city workers. Speculation on the choice of an interim police chief continued among police personnel yesterday, and anxieties over the choice are apparent. The man whose name is mentioned most frequently is Clarence W. Dupnik, captain of the detective division.

Lt. George Robles, who is in charge of community relations, is running a close second. But other names crop up in conversations among police officers. These include Capt. Arthur W.

Barleycorn, commander of the service division, and Capt. Francis Kessler, commander of the uniform division. Dupnik appears to be the frontrunner among personnel at the police station, and there was talk yesterday among patrolmen of drawing up a petition backing him for the job of acting chief. Robles, a popular figure in Tucson, has been with the department since 1950 and was born and raised in the city. Dupnik, a member of the department since still life' the ward, agrees with Kettel that the emphysema ward medical team must use a great deal of psychology, encouragement and some definite firmness in persuading patients to try.

"We teach them to use their muscles efficiently," said the doctors. "We measure the amount of oxygen they can get in their lungs, then show them the most efficient (oxygen-conserving) ways to use it." A physiotherapist and an inhalation therapist are assigned to the ward, to help increase the patient's breathing yapacity as much as possible and to prepare them for life at home. The Veterans Hospital, now a Dean's Committee Hospital affiliated with the University of Arizona College of Medicine, is enlarging the pulmonary diseases department under the direction of Dr. Benjamin Burrows, head of the medical school's pulmonary diseases i S3tsfc! itffil we tone. Dr.

Reuben G. Gustavson, a chemist, educator and administrator who has earned international recognition, will speak at the 74th University of Arizona commencement May 31 at 7:30 p.m. in Arizona Stadium. Dr. Gustavson has served as president of two large American universities, vice president of another and president and executive director of Resources for the Future, an autonomous research organization financed by the Ford Foundation.

Gustavson serves the UA as adviser on television and science education and also holds the title of professor of history. GUSTAVSON A native of Denver, Gustavson received his bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Denver. His teaching career started in 1917 at what is now Colorado State University. By the time he earned the doctor of philosophy degree in 1925, he had gained scientific recognition for biochemical studies of the female sex hormone. He was president of the University of Colorado from 1943 to 1945, vice president of the University of Chicago from 1945 to 1946, and chancellor of the University of Nebraska from 1943 to 1946.

Gustavson's long career of public service has included such assignments as member of the National Commission for Infantile Paralysis; member of the advisory committee of the U.S. Public Health Service; delegate to the first meeting of the International Conference on Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy in Geneva, Switzerland; and member of the advisory committee of the American Cancer Society. A six-page list of his scientific publications is evidence that teaching and administrative duties did not hamper the busy chemist's research activities. These publications range from hormone studies and a new method for the determination of cobalt to the "Story Behind the Atom Bomb." Soon after joining the UA faculty in 19o9. he Emphysema, Kettel theorizes, may be a disease of aging.

Individuals age at different paces and the disease may appear spontaneously in younger persons, with cigarette smoking accelerating the process, but not causing it. Bronchitis, resulting from irritation to the bronchial tubes, can be caused from almost any irritant, from cigarettes to air pollution or upper respiratory infection even colds. Asthma, which causes the muscles about the bronchi (the windpipe divides into two main bronchi, one for each lung) to tighten to the point where the patient has difficulty in breathing in or out, can be caused by allergies and complicated by anxiety or tension. Small wonder then, that a patient beset by a pulmonary disease is reluctant to strain himself physically. He knows from experience that Meefs Badly Felt Need VA Hospital Opens Emphysema Ward he may find it nearly impossible in draw another breath.

We have to give the emphysema patient confidence in his ability to do things again." said Kettel, "and to do that, we retrain them, almost as you would train an athlete." "We take them one step at a time," said Mrs. Betty Longstaff, R.N., chief nurse on the emphysema ward. She means actual too. The ward, located on the top floor of one hospital wing, connects with a walled roof area where patients may enjoy the sun and a spectacular view of the city. To get there, they learn to climb nine steps, one step a day, perhaps, until they are confident of their ability to breathe during this exercise.

By MARILYN DRAGO Star Medical Writer Relief from the crippling effects of emphysema is obtained, literally, one step at a time. Tucson's Veterans Administration Hospital has just opened a 22-bed ward for emphysema patients, part of the hospital's 80-bed unit for pulmonary diseases and the severely limiting physical effects resulting from a prolonged struggle to breathe. Louis J.
