In action over the weekend: Dr. Walter H. Baer, chairman of the Peoria mental hospital site committee and a member of the governor's mental health advisory committee, resigned with a parting shot at what he called the "spoils politics" of Kerner and Dr. Francis Gerty, head of the Illinois Department of Mental Health. Former Republican Gov.

Stratton expressed dismay at Kerner's mental health program and called it a "shame." Raymond Hilliard, Cook County welfare director, claimed there was a move under way to discredit the Illinois Public Aid Com mission, which has battled Kerner over a proposed 10 per cent cut in relief checks. And Republican State Rep. Bernard McDevitt charged the dispute between Kerner and the IPAC "was getting out of hand." AS IF THIS weren't enough, the resignation of IPAC Chairman C. Virgil Martin takes effect Tuesday. Samuel Goldsmith, who will serve as presiding officer of the commission, said he will press for a meeting with Kerner in an attempt to set straight the issues of the welfare squabble.

i The resignation of Baer raised new problems for Kerner, already at an impasse with the IPAC over how to meet public id costs. Baer said the programs of the mental health department are "fantasy-fringed, unrealistic and impractical." He said Illinois hospitals for the mentally ill and retarded offer substandard patient care. He charged the state has failed to recruit qaulified personnel and has not provided promised salary increases and promotions. Baer, who campaigned for Kerner, said, "Now I'm discouraged and disappointed." STRATTON, defeated by Kerner in the gubernatorial race, said Kerner's mental health program "kind of burns me up." "It's a shame that it's all twisted," he said. Stratton said the Kerner administration was misusing the $150 million mental health bond issue by allocating $47 million for construction of mental health clinics.

Expect to OIL HEAT DEALER OR A MPUTAIli Help in Vou Can't The Police Thera is one form of "robbery" in which a home owner must protect himself when a crooked firm talks you out of a perfectly good OIL HEAT system, in favor of switching to another fuel you can't call the police.

Be sure before you leap into a "deal" with some "operator" who gets into your home via the telephone call, or the door-to-door approach.
