Migrant workers disappearing ring COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) A legislative committee has been told that migrant workers are disappearing from Ohio's farm fields because government regulations and labor problems. The panel, headed by Sen.

Neal F. Zimmers, D- Dayton, is investigating the living and working conditions of the seasonal, out-of-state workers. The subcommittee was told that three years ago there were almost as many migrant workers in Putnam County alone as there are in the entire state now. Paul Cunningham of Ottawa, an attorney for a group of northwest Ohio growers, said 12,000 to 14,000 migrants had been employed in the county to harvest vegetable crops. He said there are fewer than 1,500 now and also noted that the number of migrant worker camps totaled 134 in 1978, 84 last year, and about 20 this year.

Cunningham blamed overregulation by the state and federal governments for the increasing trend toward the use of machines, instead of workers, to harvest crops. He said there are so many regulations it is virtually impossible for a farmer to comply. The associate chairman of Ohio State University's Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology Department says labor disruptions have also played a role. Dr. Bernard L.

Erven said the number of migrant workers in Ohio has decreased by an estimated twothirds since the workers strike of 1977-78 because "farmers have committed themselves to mechanization." Mechanical harvesters are used exclusively in California, which produces 85 percent of the nation's tomato crop, he said. Ohio, at 8 percent, is the second largest producer. "Economically we've been forced into mechanization" to harvest tomatoes, Howard Sachs, a grower from Fremont, said Tuesday. "We have gone from approximately 140 migrant workers to the range of 15 to 20 workers." Another grower, Luther V. Schoenberger, of Forest, told Zimmers and Sen.

John K. Mahoney, D- Springfield, that most farmers cannot afford to meet demands for providing improved housing for the workers. "There's a general trend toward mechanization; it's economics," he said. Zimmers, who had invited representatives from the Heinz, Hunts, Campbell and Libby companies to testify at the hearing, said, "'The Senate subcommittee has heard testimony that the state's processing companies control the tomato industry in Ohio and therefore are involved with the financial problems being experienced by the migrants and the farmers themselves." But Zimmers said each of the processors declined to appear before the panel. Pike station operator investigated WASHINGTON (AP) Sen.

Howard Metzenbaum, D-Ohio, says his office is looking into alleged irregularities in operations of Oasis Petroleum the new operator of 16 Ohio Turnpike service stations. The senator said Oasis also is being investigated by the federal Department of Energy. The department is looking into Oasis' dealings with Research Fuels Inc. of Texas and alleged manipulation of allocations acquired from Research Fuels. DOE officials refused to discuss the case or confirm that Oasis was being investigated.

Metzenbaum, who is on the Senate Energy Committee, said the DOE was foot-dragging and questioned the Ohio Turnpike Commission's approval of Oasis as a service station operator. He said that in approving the contract for Oasis, which took over the turnpike stations today, the commission "apparently did not check DOE or anywhere else." Oasis, which underbid Standard Oil Co. (Ohio) to win the turnpike contract, has been the target of an investigation by the senator's staff for the past several months. Metzenbaum aide Roy Meyer Maintenance problem suspected Maintenance of the sewage treatment plant at Riverview School and possibly Ottawa County Riverview Nursing Home, State Route 163 east of Oak Harbor, apparently has been neglected resulting in some problems. The problems should be corrected today, according to Carl Koebel, director of environmental health for the Ottawa County Board of Health.

Meyer said Khashoggi's company, Triad, bought 25 percent of Oasis last year and has an option to buy another 24 percent. The Juvenile judge seeks $50,000 youth grant The Ottawa County Juvenile Court has submitted an application to the Ohio Youth Commission for a Youth Services Grant of $50,000 under a subsidy program of Ohio's Juvenile Courts.

Juvenile Judge Merrill B. Rudes said that this grant, if approved, will be used for a foster care program, psychological and psychiatric, diagnostic and clinical services and a probation subsidy for the probation department. Along with the application, the court was required to submit a comprehensive youth services plan which must be approved by the Ohio Youth Commission. In addition, the court is required to submit quarterly progress reports and to participate in the monitoring or evaluation of these programs. In conformity with the grant requirements, a Youth Services Advisory Board has been appointed by Judge Rudes.

Serving on the board are the following: Chairman Mrs. Sammie Yarbrough, Vice Chairman Roger Fair and Secretary Mrs. Ruth Cox. Other members are: Jere Witt and Rev. Lawrence Miller.

This grant is intended to reduce the number of permanent commitments to the Ohio Youth Commission for those offenses deemed to be of a less serious nature. Grant funds may not be used to replace any funds currently being provided by Ottawa County and may not be used for providing institutionalization in secure facilities, Judge Rudes said.
