Seeks Ruling On Zoo Board State Senator Lawrence J. Lee St. Louis, has asked Attorney General John C. Danforth. for a ruling on the powers of the new Zoo-Museum District Board.

Lee, a lawyer, said he felt that the board had acted illegally in setting tax rates for the Zoo, the Art Museum and the Museum of Science and Natural History. He said also he did not think the board had the authority to set tax rates annually, but was limited to setting them once. "The bill authorizing the district was originally introduced in the House, but I handled it in the Senate," Lee said. "To that extent it is my bill and I have a direct interest in it. "The bill says that after votformation of the district approve, board shall set the tax rates to support the institutions.

It doesn't say anything about setting them annually or give the board any authority over expenditure of the funds by the three institutions." Lee said he had become aware of the controversy over the board's actions through newspaper stories. He said also that he had discussed the situation with Circuit Judge Thomas J. McGuire, president of the Zoo Board, but had asked for the opinion on his own volition. "Newspaper stories said the Zoo-Museum District Board had earmarked about $200,000 for its own use," Lee said. "The board Has Stroke On 100-Foot Tank Frame, Is Rescued A man who suffered a stroke at height more than 100 feet cn framework of a huge gas tank was rescued yesterday by other workers.

Edwin Faust, of Columbia, who had been painting the framework of a tank at the Shrewsbury plant of the Laclede Gas 4118 Shrewsbury Avenue, with about other men, was standing on a small, platform when two nearby workers noticed that he had bent over, said Walter H. Budde. Budde, one of two men next to Faust, helped place Faust in his swing seat, which is suspended by pulleys and ropes. The two men then lowered him to the crown, a flexible roof that expands or contracis with the introduction or withdrawal of gas. They followed him by sliding down vertical girders.

Joined by two other workers who were on the crown, the four men carried Faust to the steps that wind around the tank. With one manholdin Faust under the arms and another under the legs, the four men took turns carrying him down the steps. Faust was reported last night to have suffered a probably serious stroke, by Dr. David Gardner at Firmin Desloge Hospital. Gardner said Faust MARRIAGE LICENSES Steve L.

WHITESIDE Of the Po Staff The Chief Judge of Beit Din Hagadol the highest religious appeals court in Jerusalem termed the release of Russian Jews for immigration into Israel a "heavenly miracle, God's divine intervention," an interview here yesterday. yin The judge, Rabbi Bezalel Zolty, is spending two days in St.

Louis as part of a three-week visit to the United States. In the last two weeks he has conferred with prominent rabbis and laymen New York, Baltimore and Chicago in an effort to "become familiar with the Jewish people in America." His remarks, all in Hebrew, were translated to a reporter by an interpreter. Rabbi Zolty said one of his primary concerns had been to inform American Jews about the problems of immigrants into Israel. "Religious education has been our biggest problem," he said. Years of religious suppression has prevented us si a Jews from reaching the level of religious training attained by Jews in Israel, he explained.

Special classes called "ulpannim" are now being used to teach the Russians Hebrew and give them religious instruction, he said. The Israeli government distributes immigrants evenly throughout the country. Rabbi Zolty admits that the policy sometimes requires the splitting up of large groups of families arriving from Russia. "Ideally, it shouldn't be done, but sometimes it is necessary," he said. "There is no unemployment problem for the immigrants," he continued.

"Anyone with ability can find Rabbi Zolty asserted thatnews reports of immigrants wishing to return to Russia were inaccurate. "Only: very small number have said they are dissatisfied and most of them only talked about it. Any Jew with complete faith would not go back." He said American Jews have been "very, very interested and enthusiastic" about helping the more than 60,000 immigrants expected in Israel this year. "We need the economic and spiritual help of Jewish he said. "The Russian Jews must not feel that they are isolated, that no one is concerned." Rabbi Zolty, who returns to New York City tomorrow morning, is staying at the home of Rabbi Menachen H.

Eichenstein, Stratford Drive, Clayyton. Rabbi Eichenstein is leader of the Chesed Shel Emeth Congregation in Clayton. Aubrey B. Lawing Funeral Tomorrow Funeral services for Aubrey B. Lawing, a real estate dealer for 23 years with the Ruth and Lawing Agency in St.

Argonne doesn't really have anything much to do now. It has set the rates, and that was its primary duty. All it does now is pay the vouchers submitted byt the three institutions supported by the taxes.

"I don't think any of the tax rates it has set are legal. They are specified as effective for the year 1972. If the action in setting rates is legal, I think the taxes as set will have to apply permanently. I think the Museum of Science and Natural History will be stuck with a rate of one half cent, even though voters authorized one Lee said that in asking for the opinion he had sent Danforth a copy of the Zoo-Museum District Board resolution setting the rates at 4 cents each on each $100 of assessed valuation for the Zoo and Art Museum, and a half cent for the Museum of Science an Natural History. He asked Danforth for a ruling specifically as to whether the parent board had authority to set the rates each year; whether it had any regulatory authority over the subdistricts; whether it had any control over subdistrict operations and officers, and whether it had any discretionary powers in paying vouchers of subdistricts.

Lee said he had asked Danforth to issue his opinion within two weeks, if possible, in view of the controversy. have anything has set the its primary is pay the ABSOLUTELY OUR FINEST 11x14 Wall Natural Semi-life Portrait Color Size, AT AMAZING COST QUALITY LOW THIS MAY BE YOUR ONLY OPPORTUNITY FOR A COLOR WALL PORTRAIT AT THIS EXTREMELY LOW PRICE!

He said it would have been quite possible for Faust to have become ill when no one was near, and to have fallen off the platform. Budde said he was too nervous at the time to remember who helped him rescue Faust. "Most people would be nervous just being up there," he said. stereo album believes these hard to come buy!
