Carter briefed on Soviet power

WASHINGTON (U P I)- President­elect Jimmy Carter and his national security team met with the Joint Chiefs of Staff today for a top secret briefing on Soviet military power and threats to this country.

Carter and the beribboned military officers were joined around an oval tab le a t B lair-H ouse by Vice President-elect Walter Mondale, Carter’s cabinet nominees and other top Carter aides for a four-hour ses­sion. .

A CIA study warned Congress earlier this week that “Soviet illtary activities overall are growing and currently are significantly larger than those of the United States.”

Pentagon sources said the military chiefs, armed with thick briefing books and charts, were prepared to go into detail on every aspect of defense operations as well as a

’’th r e a t b r ie f in g ” on Soviet c a p a b ilit ie s an co m p ara tiv e strengths with the United States.

Air Force Gen. George S. Brown, chairman of the joint chiefs, carried two thick, red looseleaf binders un­der his arm as he entered Blair House.

Other members of the joint chiefs are Navy Adm. James Holloway I, MarineGen. Lewis Wilson, Air Force Gen. David C. Jones and Army Gen. Bernard Rogers.

In addition to Carter and Mondale, the session was attended by Defense Secretary-nominee Harold Brown, Secretary of State-nominee Cyrus Vance, ^igniew Brzezinski, picked by Carter to be his national security a ffa irs adv iser, and Theodore Sorensen, named to head the CIA in the new administration.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Gerald Ford, returning to his political home to give a final accounting of his brief but historic presidency, said he leaves office proud and the nation “more perfect” than he found it.

“ While we still have a long way to go, I am proud of the long way we have come together,” the President said Wednesday night in his third and final State of the Union address since becoming the first man to occupy the presidency without election.

He spoke to a joint session of Congress and on nationwide televi­sion and radio in the House chamber where he served most of his adult life as a congressman from Michigan and Republican leader.

As is custom, the Cabinet, the Supreme Court and the diplomatic corps joined the lawmakers for the annual report on the national state of health.

The House he worked with for nearly 25 years and the Senate he presided over for less than a year as the nation’s first appointed vice p residen t gave him a rousing welcome, nearly three minutes of standing applause punctuated by cheers.

Ford’s voice broke twice as he said goodbye and ended his speech with a prayer for God to “guide this wonderful country, its people and those they have chosen to lead them.”

The president-in-waiting, Jimmy Carter, missed the televised address when his defense briefing at Blair House ran longer than anticipated, according to C arter transition staffers.

Ford made his final moment in the spotlight a proud declaration of ac­complishment, and although he began by saying he would leave priority setting to Carter', he urged Congress to approve at least three major proposals he was leaving behind.

He specifically appealed for action on his recent tax proposals, his long- stalled energy program and his call for construction of new submarines, bombers and missiles.

Ford paid tribute to Congress, but

also managed to leave some barbs in the legislative hide. He lectured members against interfering with presidential foreign policy powers and made clear he blamed the law makers for foot-dragging on energy programs and government cost­cutting.

In his speech, he gave first priority to “the part I h^ve had in rebuilding confidence in the presidency, con­fidence in our free system and con­fidence in the future.” He stressed progress in the international situa­tion, noting as he did repeatedly in his campaign that American soldiers are f ig h tin g now here and u rged Republicans to give Carter “loyal

support" in foreign policy.He also claimed gains at home in

cutting inflation, slowing the rise of crime and creating jobs. But he said continued high unemployment “ is my greatest regret as 1 leave office,” and he was “dissapointed” by the lack of action toward energy in­dependence.

He came down hardest on defense spending, warning that the Soviet Union was steadily building its military strength.

“The United States would risk the most serious political consequences if the world came to believe that our adversaries have a decisive margin of superiority,” he said.

O’Neill: ‘The right man for the right time’

WASHINGTON (U PI) - Old colleagues in the club called Congress had a bipartisan and com­mon reaction to President Ford’s farewell address Wednesday—it was a moving talk by a good man.

Some lawmakers, like Sens. Barry Goldwater and Strom Thur­mond, both Republicans, and Rep. Joe Waggonner, a Democrat, said if Ford had given the same speech in the same manner during the cam­paign he would have won.

Rep. Robert McClory, R-Hl., com­pared it to Washington’s farewell ad­dress in the sense that it was “historic.”

Speaker ’Thomas O’Neill, Ford’s best friend among Democrats, all but embraced the President at the end of the speech and said later; “It was a lame duck President who is a close personal friend. It is a safe conclu­sion to say he was the right man at the right time.”

Most lawmakers used the word “moving” in their reaction, referring mainly to Ford’s closing prayer for the nation.

Vice President Nelson Rockefeller said, "It was inspiring to the nation. It had breadth, humanity and com­passion.”

House Democratic Leader Jim Wright said, “It was an appropriate and well spoken valedictory by a thoughtful, good and decent man. The spirit of it was big and good.”

Sen. Jacob Javits, R-N.Y,, said, “It was a noble speech by a noble man,” and newly e lec ted Sen. S .I. Hayakawa, R-Calif., called it “very moving.” Another freshman. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., said “it was a lovely speech. He is a great man. It is a time to be happy.”

Sen. Edmund Muskie called it “warm and human.” Sen. Hubert Humphrey said it was “splendid and upbeat,” while Sen. Henry Jackson said Ford was “at his best ... magnanimous and thou^tful.” Rep. Jack Brooks, D-Tex., sald,“It was a good evaluation of bis record and it was done graciously” and HouseRepublican leader John Rhodes “lought f i t was great.”

Sen. Warren Ufagnuson, D-Wash.,said “it was a veiy good speech,” but he also had some second thoughts. "I don’t know that everything is as bright as he said.”

Sen. Henry Bellmon, R-Okla., said "it probably was an expression of some sincere feeling of unrealized aspirations on his part.”

Guardsmen probe pond for mystery object

WAKEFIELD, N.H. (UPI) - New Hampshire National Guardsmen today began cutting holes in an-ice covered pond to recover of a mysterious object lodged on the bot­tom for three days.

“Right now they are cutting holes in the ice,” said Col. Leon Parker of the adjutant general’s office. “We know some object dropped into the farmer’s pond,” he said. The pond is on the property of William and Dorothy McCarthy.

“We have nothing definite that it is radioactive. Anything other than that is conjecture until we can get a reading on it.”

(3ov. Meldrim Thomson confirmed early today the sta te was in­vestigating the ob ject, which witnesses said fell from the sky Mon­day night. In a statement from his of­fice, ’Thomson said he had known of the incident for the last 24 hours, “but did not want to comment on it unless we know exactly what we are talking about.”

New Hampshire Deputy Attorney General ’Thomas Rath said Gregory Smith, head of the Criminal Division, was a t the scene and would be working on the case for most of the day.

Lawmakers considering broader revamp bill

HARTFORD (UPI) - Nothing i„ off limits for lawmakers considering governmental reorganization and that includes consolidation of the sprawling health and human services bureaucracy opposed by Gov. Ella T. Grasso.

L e g is la t iv e le a d e r s sa id Wednesday they will consider a proposal to consolidate the health and human services bureaucracy despite opposition from her — but cautioned at this stage they are only talking.

Sen. Waye Baker, D-Danbury, who co-chairs the Government Ad­ministration and Policy Committee, which will oversee reorganization, said his panel would draw up a bill for discussion purposes only that in­cludes reorganization in those areas.

He said that bill would serve as the basis for the extensive testimony expected to be generated by the proposed reorganization.

"The proposed areas will include all aspects of state government,” Baker said.

‘"The consensus was for as broad a bill as possible,” said Rep. Patricia Hendel, D-Groton, the House chair­man of the committee.

“They are starting fresh and nothing is off limits. Including the th ings the governor did not recommend," said Senate Majority

Leader, Joseph Lieberman, D-New Haven.

Mrs. Grasso, in her "State of the State” speech, urged lawmakers to reject the merger of the bureaucracy in those fields because it would be counterproductive.

A committee she appointed headed by Aetna Life & Casulty President John Filer recommended the state's 256 b o ard s , com m ission and departments be merged into 17 super agencies. The human and health ser­vices agencies were included in that reorganization. Last week at the their first meeting dealing with the reorganization issue the leaders said they wanted to leave options open, but they did not say if their initial proposal would propose reorganiza­tion in those areas or not.

The leaders cautioned that con­sidering reorganizalon in health and human services was a long way from legislating it and said they were well aware of the governor’s opposition to it.

“We don’t want to pass a bill the governor will veto,” Baker said.

Lt. Gov. Robert K. Killian, Mrs. Grasso’s liaison with the legislature on the reorganization, said he didn’t see much significance in the decision to consider reorganization in the sprawling health and human services bureaucracy.

Evangelist to speak

The Rev. Stefan Gulyas, an Assemblies of God missionary- evangelist to' eastern Europe, will speak at special services this weekend beginning F riday at Calvary Church, 647 E. Middle Tpke.

The services, which are open to the public, will be Friday at 8 p.m., Satui^ay at 9 a.m. and Sunday at 9:45 a.m. during the Sunday School ses­sion and at the 10:50 a.m. and 7 p.m. worship services.

The evangeiist was born in Romania of Hungarian parents and iived in Germany during World War II. For several years he lived in Austria before coming to this country in 1950. He is a graduate of the New E n g ian d B ib ie I n s t i t u te of Framingham, Mass. After gradua­tion, he served as a radio pastor in Torrington for five years.

Police have arrested two men in connection with robberies at two Cumberland Farms Stores in Oc­tober and December.

Arrested in connection with the armed robbery on Oct. 3 of the Cumberland Farms store at 151 W. Middle Tpke., were Philip C. Hansley, 24, of H artford and Benjamin Brown, 22 of Hartford. Hansley was charged with first- degree robbery and third-degree larceny. Hansley was reported to have been armed with a gun during the robbery in which 8204 was taken from the cash register, safe and the clerk's purse.

Brown was also arrested in connec­tion with another armed robbery at the Cumberland Farms Store at 210 W. Center St. on Dec. 11. He was charged with first-degree robbery and second-degree larceny in connec­tion with that robbery in which $167 was taken from the cash register.

The charges ap in s t the two men are being consoiidated with charges in other area towns, police said. The men are being held and will be presented in Superior Court in Hart- fon] on ail th charges.

The Hartford law firm that acts as Manchester's bond counsel is also representing the J.C. Penney Co., but this will present no conflict-of- interest problems, according to those involved.

"We looked at that question. We see no conflict whatsoever,” Atty. Thomas DeMille, of the firm Updike, Kelly and Spellacy, said.

U^ike, Kelly and Spellacy has served as Manchester's bond counsel for about six years. It has worked with the Penney company "for a number of months,” DeMille said.

The Penney company has pianned a two-miilion square foot catalog dis- tribution center in the town's proposed industrial park. If the park receives approval from various town and state agencies, the town would hold a referendum for a $13,730,000 bond issue to pay for park develop­ment.

DeMille said that the firm is working with the J.C. Penney Co. in legal matters connected with the park plan. These include the ob­taining of necessary permits from town and state agencies, as well as legal agreements that would have to be made between the town and the company.

For instance, the firm will make the presentation for J.C. Penney when the company goes before the local Planning and Zoning Commis­sion to obtain a special exception, which is needed for any proposed development that will cover more than four acres and include more

other arrests Wednesday included Donald P. Finch, 36, of Vernon, who was charged with breach of peace, criminal mischief and resisting arrest in connection with a dispute at a home on Oakland St. Fitch alleged­ly broke through a window into the home of his estranged girlfriend. Fitch was being held for presentation in court Friday.

Crawford Kelly, 19, of 34B Chan- ning Dr., was charged with conceal­ment or conveyance of leased proper­ty in connection with a television set

than 60 parking spaces.DeMille said th a t the bond

counsel's Job is primarily working with town officials to ensure that all requirements of a bond issue have been met.

"We ensure that the technicalities of the bohd issue are done properly,” he said.

Another lawyer with the firm, Atty. Bourke Spellacy, said that a bond counsel is responsible for “checking off” a bond Issue.

“The bonding work is to certify to bond holders that the town has satisfied requirements for the sale of the bond,” he said.

Updike, Kelly and Spellacy is one of only about five certified bond counsels in the state, Spellacy said. There is no requirement that the town use an in-state firm, however, he said.

Spellacy also said that there would be no conflict with his firm represen­ting Penney and serving the town. He said that the bond counsel work is strictly technical, and would have no affect on the bond issue.' "You’fe reviewing papers and

'determinations, but you don't actual­ly make the de te rm in a tio n s,” Speliacy said of the bond counsel's role.

Town Manager Robert B. Weiss said that the bond counsel's work with the town is “procedural, and not a negotiating thing.”

He also said there would be no con­flict in the firm's dual roles.

New age class added to winter carnival

People who sell seeds expect a heavy demand, especially for vegetab le seeds, during the remaining months of winter and in the coming spring. Sales have been gaining for several years as people with garden space at their homes try to reduce their food expenditures by growing vegetables to eat fresh or perhaps a surplus to can and freeze.

The 1977 business is off to an early start. The first shipment of seeds arrived a t the Agway store in Buekland in December. More trucks will arrive with more seeds until probably as late as April. Retail sales have started in a small way and will build to a peak as planting time approaches.

Agway is a farmers' cooperative, formed by the merger of two older cooperatives in 1964. The Eastern S ta te s F a rm e r s ' E x ch an g e , organized to serve New England farmers from headquarters in West Springfield, merged with G-L-F, form ^ primarily to serve New York State with headquarters at Ithaca.

The initials indicated the backing of the New York State cooperative, by the State Grange, the Dairymen's League and the New York Farm Bureau Federation. Head offices were moved to Syracuse after the merger.

The West Springfield building still houses an accounting department for the New England area. Other space at West Sprlngrield has been sold. Seed distribution is handled at Elizabethtown, Pa., where seeds are tested , trea ted , package'd and shipped.Grown “ all over”

Som e seed is g rown at Elizabethtown, but the larger part of the supply is grown under contract by farmers who specialize in raising seeds. Assistant Manager John Scollo, at the Buekland store, said these growers are "all over the coun­try." Some seed is imported from Japan.

The Buekland store is one of four in Connecticut that are owned and operated by Agway, and spoken of by employes as "big stores." The others are at Willimantic, Middlefield and

North Haven. Some smaller outlets are family operated under franchise, including locations at Ellington, South Windsor and Newington.

Commercial farm ers may be members of the cooperative and name delegates to an annual meeting where directors are elected. The directors choose officers and the management. Scollo said there are 400 members in the area served from the Buekland store, but only 200 of them are active.

Supplies offered cover a wide range of m a te ria ls needed in agriculture such as fertilizer, livestock feed and chemicals for pest control. At Buekland, seed is an im­po rtan t item . Scollo said the

•Buekland store usually is among the top three in the Agway territory in seed sales. Not all supplies are physically present at Buekland. Orders for feed, for example, are filled at an Agway mill in Franklin. Agway does not carry heavy farm equipment, such as tractors, leaving this business to the machinery manufacturers.Metric system weights

Seed buyers will find this year that something new has been added on their seed packets. The weight of the seed is given in the metric system, although it may also be given in familiar ounces. A packet of endive seed that I picked up was marked 870 milligrams. Conversion tables are available if the metric weights prove puzzling. Larger growers will still find packages of seed that weigh 5,25 or 50 pounds. On special order there are some kinds of seed that can be bought in 100-pound bags. v

A whole series of operations and the work of many individuals lies behind the seed packet that a gar­dener buys, at any retail outlet or from any catalogue. Experiments to improve the quality of vegetables, or perhaps new colors in flowers, are going on all the time at both commer­cial and publicly-supported research farms.

One of Agway's introductions and still its most popular variety of sweet corn is Butter and Sugar, combining white and yellow kernels on the same

i:ik ' '

A new age classification has been added to the ice skating races scheduled for Manchester's Winter Carnival on Sunday, Jan. 30 at Union Pond Annex.

The age group includes ages 26 through 44 years of age and is called the senior group. The Senior Plus category is for those age 45 and over.

The course for all age groups will be five laps around the pond, which is a total of about a mile.

About 25 persons have signed up so far for the race events, according to Mrs. Evelyn Gregan, public relations

director for the carnival.She said that the carnival planning

committee is sending letters to all public, state and parochial schools in Manchester inviting interested students to participate.

Those wishing to enter the skating contests are asked to register at the Eighth District Firehouse, Main and Hilliard Sts. before Jan. 20.

The event is sponsored by the Eighth District Board of Directors.

For further information, call Mrs. Gregan at 643-4850.

Sales of flower seeds, Scollo said, also have been increasing, although at a slower rate than vegetable seeds.

Doug Avery of Ellington, who was away when I called, is the manager of the Buekland store. He is advised by a local committee of 11 farmers, elected by members, with Earl Reichle of Wapping, a potato grower, as chairman.

Coffee prices spur boycotting, hoarding

How to avoid the math in figuring tax deductions

B y SUSAN VAUGHNHerald Reporter

Coffee prices in local supermarkets ranged from fl.79 to |2.79 a pound today and consumer reaction to rising prices varied from hoarding to boycotting.

Most stores are selling more tea and cocoa, although prices of those substitutes are also rising, one store reported.

Coffee at Highland Park Market was "cleaned out over the weekend,” accor­ding to John Devanney, store owner. He attributes the rush on coffee to anticipa­tion of higher prices.

Devanney expects the price on coffee arriving today to be "substantially higher,” although he did not know hy how much. The last supply of Maxwell House Coffee at Highland Park sold for $2.19 a pound and a two-pound can was no bargain at H.59......... ...

Frank’s Supermarket also noticed that initial reaction to the coffee prices is an increase in buying, but the store expects that to change as the prices are going up again very shortly, according to ^ tth e w llurx , manager.

Frank’s has had signs displayed by the coffee advising consumers not to buy it. The current price on Maxwell House coffee has been $2.49 at Frank’s.

Thurz said the store has sold an unusual­ly high amount of instant tea in the past week. He completely refilled the shelves of tea which usually last all winter. ’Thurz said he expects the coffee price fight to be long and drawn out.

Finast supermarket reported coffee

selling still for under $2 a pound, but a price change could come at aiiytime, ac­cording to Ekiward Mihok, co-manager of the store. He said the store had to put a limit on bulk buying of coffee recently. The store is also running a special on tea this week. He attributes the lower prices to warehouse supplies.

Top Notch supermarket is having a dif­ficult time getting coffee. "It is worse than usual,” according to a spokesman, although it has always been difficult get­ting coffee.

’Hie tea sales at Top Notch have almost doubled and the coffee sales have been down about 10 per cent according to the spokesman. The current price is $2.79 for a one pound can.

The only coffee that is really selling at Mott’s Shop-Rite is a cheaper brand, ac­cording to Sylvia Gottlieb, vice-president of consumer relations for Shop-Rite. The current price of Maxwell House is $2.79 a pound, ^ e said.

Shop-Rite also has signs advising con­sumers not to buy coffee unless it is on sale or a person has a coupon. Ms. Gottlieh said she thinks that coffee drinkers may have coffee stored away in anticipation of the price rises.

A coalition of consumer groups in Washington Tuesday launched a "shaft coffee, switch to tea” campaign. They ad­vised consumers to cut down coffee drinking by 20 to 30 per cent.

Indications in a survey of Manchester housewives last week were that people are doing just that. It remains to be seen what affect their actions will have.

I wouldn’t go so far as to recommend renting a com­p u te r to help you in preparing your income tax return this year, but an ad­ding machine or a pocket calculator will certainly come in handy.

More m a th em a tica l op e ra tio n s than ev er before are called for this year, even on the Form 1040A, the simplest of all tax returns.

With the typical adult American’s dislike for working with percentages, decimal points and frac­tions, errors are bound, to multiply.

In th e ir a tte m p t to simplify taxes for this y e a r , h e re is w h a t Congress has done with the matter of deductions. You will not have to struggle with all the arithmetic in itemizing deduction if you want to settle for another method.

The amount to be used in th e “ o th e r m e th o d ’’ depends upon,whether you are single or the unmarried head of a household; m arried filing a Joint return, a qualifjdng widow or widower; or if you are married and are filing separate returns.

Here is the “easy” way if you are single or the un- m a r r ie d h ead of a household. You may take:

1. A minimum standard deduction of $1,700.

2.16 per cent of adjusted

gross income, if that figure is less than $19,000.

3. $2,400, if adjusted gross income is more than

$15,000.For m arried couples

filing joint returns there are these three choices;

1. Minimum standard deduction of $2,100.

2. 16 per cent of an adjusted gross income below $17,500.

3. $2,000 if adjusted gross income is more than $17,- 500.

Married persons filing

separately also have three choices, along with a very important caution:

• 1. A minimum standard deduction of $1,050.

2.16 per cent of adjusted gross, if it is less than $8,- 750.

3. $1,400, if adjusted gross income is more than $8,750.

CAUTION; H one takes the minimum standard

deduction, the other may not take the percentage standard deduction. If one itemizes deductions, the other must also itemize.

To help you with your selection, the remaining articles in the series will present some valuable tips on those Itemized deduc­tions.(NEXT: Medical and den-

Will lobbyists kill lobby federal reform?

Opinion

Forget defense cutbacksJohn F. Kennedy cam ­

paigned heavily in 1960 on the theme that a “missile gap” had been permitted to develop between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Following his election and inauguration, the gap strange­ly vanished — or rather, it was discovered that the Soviets were actually on the lower end of it.

Jimmy Carter campaigned lightly in 1976 on the theme that economies in the nation’s defense budget might save something like f5 billion out of current spending.

Since his election, but even before his inauguration, not only has the $5 b illio n evaporated but updated ver­sion of the “missle gap” has suddenly become one of the most urgent problems that the new president will face.

There has in recent weeks been a veritable deluge of reports, claims and warnings about imminent or actual Soviet military superiority in missiles and everything else.

For instance, the latest edi­tion of “Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft,” a name which is in­evitably preceded by the adjuctive “authoritive,” finds that the United States is falling so far behind the Soviets in air power that, in the event of war, we might have to resort im­mediately to nuclear weapons or face defeat.

“Jane’s” urges that produc­tion of the B-1 bomber is “ab­solutely essential” to counter the growing fleet of long-range Soviet bombers — though it is not quite clear how a plane that is designed to deliver nuclear bombs to the enemy’s homeland would be of much s e r v ic e in th e i n i t i a l , conventional-weapon stage of a war.

The quality authoritative “Jane’s Weapons Systems” warns that the Soviets may already have a counterpart to the U.S. Navy’s highly so p h istica ted Tomahawk cruise m issile that could “ th rea ten the d e lic a te strategic balance.”

Even more pessimistic is Maj. Gen. George J. Keegan Jr., who retired the other day

as Air Force chief of in­telligence.

The Soviet Union has already achieved military superiority over the United States, he believes, and its civil defense shelter, food stockpiling and m is s i le s i t e h ard en in g programs are so far advanced that the Kremlin not only has decided it could survive a nuclear war but is preparing for one.

“The greatest global conflict in history is likely to occur in the next decade or two” unless the Western alliance begins in­vesting more in the prudent modernization of its defenses, says Keegan.

Even discounting the natural tendency of military men and people connected with the milirary to overstate a poten­tial enemy’s strength, enough evidence has accumulated from other sources to support the contention that a very real gap has developed between the two superpowers, and that this time the United States is on the wrong side of it.

On this question of national security, however, it is in­teresting to note another report recently in the news. For something like a year and a half, it is said, the United States knew the position and movements of the Soviet Union’s nuclear submarine fleet, thanks to information salvaged from a sunken Soviet sub on the Pacific floor.

If so, then for this period the United States may have enjoyed greater m ilitary security than it has known since the days when it held the patent on the atom bomb. Yet it did the American people lit­tle good because they were un­aware of it.

In other words, the question is, what is real security and how do we know when we have it? Can it, indeed, ever be achieved?

The only answer is that the prudent course is to err on the side of caution. Thus at the very least, we will likely see an early Carter administration decision to go ahead with the B-1.

Certainly, we can forget about that evanescent $5 billion defense savings.

UConn branch program praisedDear sir;

Your story Eliminate branches (State brief, Wed. Jan. 5) seems to contain an important factual error. To the best of my knowledge, the Filer report does not propose the elim ination of UConn Branch programs.

The five branches are not separate two-year institutions but program of the university which deliver its first two year curriculum to commuter students. These students must have minimum 900-1000 board scores and take the identical (not merely equivalent) courses they would nor­mally take at the Storrs cam­pus. Many of the programs are extremely successful. Students save a lot of money and have the oppor­tunity to interact with an urban In- vlronment. More imporlantly, many of the programs, in particular the Hartford Branch, have the lowest cost per student ratios to be found anywhere in public higher education in the sUte. It may be that the Filer committee was ware of these facts and proceeded to look truly at restructuring not at program review of various institutions. Hence, no explicit mention of branch programs in the Filer report. On the other hand, in many minds, the Com­missioner of Higher Education has never really proved itself. Its few recommendations seem to have been polliical and personal in nature. In an

old

attem pt to change som ething, anything, it has for years decided to UConn Branch programs as some vague threat to the community colleges even though the two exist comfortably with entirely different purposes. It Is most upsetting to hear Chancellor Gould, new to the state and having left what may final­ly be a "grave mess’ in New York higher education, echo these cries.

Sincerely,P.R. Fallone 27 Turnbull Rd.Manchester

WASHINGTON - The lobbying of Congress and the executive to promote, kill or change legislation Is an Integral part of America’s process of government. Railroad builders and lumber companies lobbied in the nineteenth century to open the West; in the twentieth Wayne Wheeler, counsel for the Antl-Saloon League, made himself a legend by driving prohibition through Congress.

The first amendment of the con­stitution gives any American citizen the right to petition for redress of grievance and hence the right to promote his interests.Lobbyist excesses

Recent excesses by many lob­byists, however, have given impetus to attempts at control. The Congress is certain to try to amend the present 30-year-oId federal lobby statute. It will seek to impose a wider registration of lobbyists and to demand more details of their ac­tivities, gifts and contacts.

For some, lobbying is a full-time career. The largest "interest group” organizations -- the Business Round­table, the National Association of Manufacturers, the AFL-CIO (the trade union federation) — employ people specifically for the job. Hospitality lavish

Most major companies maintain a

Senate opposes registration of agentsWashington office with the single responsibility of lobbying Congress. Expense accounts are lafge and hospitality lavish. But executive departments, cities and, more distur­bingly, foreign governments also lob­by Congress.

It is the activities of Tongsun Park, who for years pursued the interests of South Korea with large doses of cash, that have finally made reform a priority. The storm he caused still rumbles over Washington; but he was merely the most blatant among a large, generally law-abiding group lobbying for foreign governments. Ex-members

Many professional lobbyists are ex­m em bers of Congress or the executive who know the working of Capitol Hill and the characters of their colleagues.

Richard Kleindienst, an attorney- general under President Nixon, and William Fulhright, once chairman of the Senate foreign relations com­mittee, both lobby these days on behalf of Arab countries. The White House itself employs three or four full-time lobbyists and many more who are not full-time.

The case of Park did much to re­open the old argument that people

have a right to know exactly what in­fluences legislation, and how legally.

Lobbying goes on not only in Washington but in each of the state capitals; here, too, large sums of money may be in volved. The strictest law is that of California, where state officials must report all gifts from lobbyists worth over 810. In the eyes of some Washington professionals a gift ten times as large would hardly be worth men­tioning, let alone reporting.C agey

Lobbyists are cagey about their expenses. Most of them argue that money estimates are, in any case, meaningless. If arguments are not effective in themselves, there is little that simple spending can do.

The Lobby Disclosure Bill, strong­ly promoted by Common Cause (itself a lobby group for the public in­terest), was passed overwhelmingly in September by the House of Representatives, but failed to pass in the Senate because of procedural snags — in other words, lobbying.

The bill would have required an organization which spends more than $1,250 a quarter on lobbying, or which employes a person to do so for more than 20 per cent of his time, to

register as a lobbyist with the General Accounting Office. Those registered would have to report details of their activities, and gifts made to members of Congress. Vague rule

The Senate’s own version of a lobby disclosure bill, also passed last summer (although it will have to be considered afresh in the new Congress) would have allowed lob­byists to avoid registration if they made less than 12 contacts a year with congressmen, but the meaning of "contact” is nebulously broad. It may be one telephone call; or it may be a meeting with any number of peo­ple who, although not members of Congress, are influential there.

Any sort of reform is disliked by most lobbyists, and their opposition has brought together some strange bedfellows: both Ralph Nader’s Public Citizen group and the National Association of Manufacturers are fighting the reform suggestions because they threaten to ask them to disclose too much, and to spend too much time and effort doing it.

'There are also other objectors. Cbngressmen suppose that the cam­paign for full disclosure will reach them too in time, and they will have to reveal the intricacies of their relations with pressure groups.* The Economist of London

Bella Abzug served rudely but effectivelyWASHINGTON - I once bumped

into Bella Abzug in the corridors of Congress. Literally bumped. I was coming hence, she was going thence, and : Bump, sp raw l! As she recovered her papers she com­mented on the question of my ancestry, to which I replied, if I remember it right, something like: "So’s your old man."

All of this is by way of confessing a personal bias regarding Ms. Abzug’s personality, if not Ms. Abzug. She is no lady. She may be one of the driving influences in the lives of new women, perhaps new politics also, but she is deficient in restraint. Her mouth knows no subtly. Her language is an arsenal of billingsgate.

I am not alone in this assessment. She once unloaded on the floor of the House a word tha t had to be described in the morning-after prints as a synonym for "male animal manure.” And a former associate, Frances Cash, says she had to leave Abzug’s employ because ail the women seemed to do was "call everyone a dum dum” or worse; Ms. Cash, by the way, eventually got a job as a construction worker.

Tom TiedeThis is not to totally condemn the

representative from New York City on the occasion of her forced retire­ment from Capitol Hill, On the con­trary she has for the past six years aided meritoriously in the progress of numerous causes, not the least of which is the nation’s democratic process. Rude, yes; worthless, not hardly.

Until Ms. Abzug arrived in Congress the circumstances for women th e re w ere less than equitable. The appropriate job for them was on the Beauty Shop Sub­committee. On the floor, during dehate, they were always referred to as "the charming gentlewomen" by slick honorables who then proceeded to cru sh th e ir am endm ents . "Madam," as one male member is alleged to have put it, "please know your place!”

Abzug fouled the works, for the better. When they tried to bury her urban voice in the agriculture sub­committee, she declined by saying that the only plant growing in her dis-

- 0 —

trict (the Bronx) was marijuana. She agreed not to wear her hats in the chamber, but this was her one con­cession. She was there to toot, and she did.

The gentlemen were ruffled, of course. When an Abzug amendment was due for a vote, her critics would stand outside the door to remind colleagues to cast negative ballots. Once, in an unprecedented con­spiracy, the men brought an Abzug measure to the floor well before its schedule so that she would not be there to argue its merits, and so that a quick and decisive defeat would be assured.

Eventually, many of the male members came not to fear Abzug so much as to accept her. As she matured, she also mellowed; well, at least she stopped giving the bird to opposing chauvinists. New House Speaker Tip O’Neill says the first call he gets each day is still "Bella, trying to tell me how to run the place," but there is less contempt for her, and there is even concession that she's earned her spurs.

In earning them, Abzug has had to overcome two handicaps. Aside from

- 0 —

being female, she is an unrepentent radical. Indeed, she has been called a Communist sympathizer. In six years she never voted for a single military appropriation, and even during the last Captive Nations Week in a speech of commemoration, she condemned Nazism and Indira Gandhi but could not find any fault with Russia.

So far left is the gentlewoman that the Socialist Party of New York, hin­ting of national security, once refused to support her campaign. And yet Abzug has refused to play politics with her philosophy. That philosophy can be severe — she fought to keep Dick Nixon. Jerry Ford and Nelson Rockefeller from holding office — but it has helped raise the tolerance level in the democracy to new and mostly healthy levels.

And now. defeated in the last elec­tion. Bella Abzug is reportedly in­terested in a Jimmy Carter appoint­ment to the administrative branch of government. God forbid. She has served the nation well in Congress, but the idea of her in the sensitive bureaucracy is boggling. Well, maybe an ambassadorship, say to Bouvet Island, where, in the South Atlantic, her abrasiveness would be least likely to lead us into war.

Thought

"Thy word Is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105).

We certainly need guidance and direction in this life. But where or to whom shall we turn? The best and the most reliable source is the Bible. As the psalmist explains. ’Hie Word of God will lighten our path so that we will not be in the dark; we will know in what direction to go.

A minister was once asked' un­expectedly to conduct a service in a country home. He called for a Bible, but none could be found. At last, however, they found one in an old sea chest In the attic. Strange to say. on the outside of the chest were the words. "Not wanted on the voyage."

Be sure you make your voyage through life with God's word as your guide always.

"I will Instruct thee and teach thee In the way which thou shalt go; I will guide thee with mine eye" (Psalm 32:8)

HARTFORD (UPI) - Connec­ticut’s top jurist says state courts are overcrowded and the only way to alleviate the problem is to' pump more money into the judicial system.

Charles S. House, chief justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court, Wednesday also told Gov. Ella T. Grasso lawmakers must create a new appeal court or jud icial reorganization will backfire.

House said in a report the con­tinuing increase in the number of cases presentecRo the courts and the lack of personnel to handle them was creating a major problem.

"'The backlog is alarming,” he said..

“If Connecticut is to maintain the traditional quality and effectiveness of its judicial system and if we.

working within that system, are to approach the ultim ate goal of speedy, equal civil and criminal justice for the people of our state, a greater-measure of financial support is needed,” the Manchester jurist said.

’The Superior Court is the state’s major trial court. ’The Courts of Common Pleas and Juvenile 0>urts will be merged with it beginning in 1978 under a law passed last year.

House had opposed the judicial reorganization bill because he said the merging of the trial court system would create a logjam in the Supreme Court.

In his report he said he hoped law­makers "will make proper provision for the creation of an intermediate

court from which appeals may be ' taken to the Supreme Court only upon certification,' except in specific in­stances provided.”

House said the greatest number ever of new civil cases, 50,796, were filed between 1974 and 1976, while the number of criminal cases jumped 48 per cent.

House, noting a request for in-, creased staffing for the chief state’s attorneys office was ignored by the legislature last year, said the need was even greater this year.

“While the dispositions are in­creasing, the number of criminal cases awaiting disposition in the Superior Court is increasing even faster — at a staggering rate,” he said.

Grasso urges price controls on hom e heating oil supplies

. . . JHARTFORD (UPI) - Gov. Ella T.

Grasso says the federal government must impose price controls on heating^ oil immediately to alleviate "widespread hardship” in Connec­ticut.

In a letter to Federal Energy Ad­m inistrator Frank Zarb, dated Wednesday, Mrs. Grasso accused the federal government of reneging on a previous promise to the Northeast and asked Zarb to put price controls into effect immediately.

Mrs. Grasso said despite the un­expected harshness of this winter, heating oil companies have continued to raise their prices.

“You made a commitment to the (ingress and to the citizens of our northeastern states that we would not be subjected to unreasonable price increases for middle distillates (heating oil),” Mrs. Grasso said in a

letter to Zarb.“I now call upon you to honor im­

mediately that commitment to in­sure protection of the public,” she said.

She said information compiled by the state Department of Planning and Energy Policy showed heating oil prices averaged more than 46 cents per gallon in December and there have been several additional price increases since then.

She said the FEA has not taken proper notice of the rising prices. The FEA’s latest national figure puts the cost of heating oil at about 42 cents per gallon.

"The disparity in these figures is persuasive evidence that the price of home heating oil here in Connecticut and inde^ throughout New England has escalated beyond all reasonable expectations,” she said.

Price controls on home heating oil were lifted last July by Congress.

Mrs. Grasso noted that 70 per, cent of Connecticut’s residents use heating oil to keep their homes warm. To date, Mrs. Grasso said this year’s winter is 28 per cent colder than last.

’ e combination of the cold and rising prices has hit Connecticut con­sumers hard.

"I recognize the the reimposition of middle distillate controls cannot be regarded as a panacea to the economic and social dislocations caused by higher energy prices. However, the point has definitely been reached where the symptoms must be treated and we must act to protect the general public,” Mrs. Grasso said. "Many of our citizens a r e I 'e a c h in g th e p o in t of desperation.”

EPA officials again seeking annual vehicle inspection law

HARTFORD (UPI) - State en­vironmental officials are making another effort this year to convince lawmakers to require annual motor vehicle inspections to reduce air pollution.

Under the proposal, which died last year despite widespread support from environmentalists, the Depart­ment of Environmental Protection would set standards for emissions and maintenance. Also, inspection stations would be set up to make sure vehicles follow the regulations.

Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Stanley J. Pac, who presented his legislative program , Wednesday said the requirement could save up to 34

million gallons of gasoline per year, which would reduce air pollution.

Pac said a final draft bad not been written, but the preliminary one — like the one that failed last year — contained provision for charging a nominal fee for vehicle inspections to pay for the program. A related proposal, also rejected by law­makers last year, would require all gasoline-powered vehicles weighing more than 6,000 pounds to be fitted with air pollution control devices.

Pac’s legislative proposals omitted draft legislation for banning non- returnable beverage containers and he explained that bill was still being worked on.

He did ask for a law that would force the ’Transportation Department

to be bound by a.DEP finding that a particu lar construction project violated air quality standards.

Among the other proposals, Pac asked the Environment Committee for plans that would:

— Force the D EP to adopt regulations that would implement the Connecticut Environm ental Policy Act. Environmentalists claim the act is meaningless without regulations implementing it.

— Conform the state statute for water pollution public hearings to the procedures required by federal law.

— Establish a program to set am­bient air quality standards and define the health problems associated with specific airborne chemical sub­stances.

SST restriction bill hearing setU A D ' T C ’ r \ D r v z f T n T x m u - 1__1 J .HARTFORD (U P I) - The

legislature’s ’Transportation Com­mittee has set a public hearing on a bill to ban landing of the supersonic Concorde at Bradley International Airport.

’liie committee Wednesday set a Jan. 24 hearing for the proposal ad­vanced by the state Department of ’Transportation that would set noise

level standards for the airport.“ In effect these regulations would

keep the Concorde out of Bradley,” said State DOT Commissioner James F. Shugrue testifying before the com­mittee.

“’This could be a very popular bill,” said the committee’s Senate chair­man, Howard Owens, D-Bridgeport.

Federal officials have allowed the

Concorde to land on a test basis only in New York and Washington. Op­ponents of the giant airplane have blocked its landing in New York.

The com m ittee also called a hearing on a proposal allowing some right and lefthand turns after a full stop at a red light.

By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.

DEAR DR. LAMB - I am being trea ted for arthritis and have been told that Motrin, a relative­ly new medicine from England, is a cure. I am wondering if it is a cure or just something to relieve the pain. Can you please tell me something about this?

DEAR REA D ER - Motrin is used to relieve pain. It does not cure a r th r i t i s or stop its progress in any way. It is similar to aspirin in its ac­tions for osteoarthritis. In many patients it is no better. Patients often turn up their noses at aspirin bMause it is so readily available. I guess the old saying that fam iliarity breeds contempt could apply here. Nevertheless, it is hard to find another medicine as effective in treating the aches and pains of osteoarthritis.

Many cures have been p ro p o ^ for osteoarthritis but the only available treatment is still relief of pain and m easures to m aintain function and mobility.

DEAR DR. LAM B-My husband is about to pay 1600 for a hairpiece Which Is only good for four years. Then he’ll have to purchase

another one. Just last week I heard on the radio that a doctor in New York had discovered a way to grow hair. Could you please find out if this is true? My hus­band and I can’t afford the money for a hairpiece.

DEAR R EA D ER - ’There was a story in the New York papers of a doc­tor using an experimental procedure to grow hair. His experiement consists of rubbing an ointment con­taining female hormone over the areas where hair is falling out. According to the report he claims to have had considerable success in stopping the falling of hair and in some instances some improve­ment in growth of hair. The doctor acknowledges that it is still experimental and there is nothing available

perspective, it was not too many years ago that other doctors were experimen­ting by rubbing an oint­ment on the scalp which contained male hormone. This caused a flap for a while but has quietly dis­appeared. Apparently it was only good for a few headlines.

There is not much that can be offered for the treatment of baldness. ’The on ly s u c c e s s fu l revolutionary idea to date has been hair transplants. These are done by taking small punched out areas of hair from the side of the head where hair growth is abundant and transplanting them into the bald areas.

qualified to do it, the procedure provides con­siderable cosmetic im­provement. The reason the follicles are taken from the side of the head is that this is where the follicles appear to have the longest life and are most abundant. That’s why you see men and some women with abundant hair on the side of the head but a bald pate on top.

MANCHESTER EVENING HERALD, Manchester. Conn.. Thurs., Jan. 13, 1977 — PAGE NINE-A

Joys of seniorhood prove very private’The voice on the phone was friendly. “I’m not going to

tell you my name. I’m a pretty loyal reader. Mostly I agree with your column.”

I interrupted. “'That sounds like there’s a big ’but’ com­ing up. What’s your gripe?”

“My gripe is that you never get off your soap box." •Can you explain that a little?” I asked.

"Sure. Almost every piece of you write takes up the un­pleasant situations that we seniors are up against. You’re I always urging us to bug politicians; write, wire or phone your congressman, senator, health departments,' dog catcher or tax officials."

“So I’m a ’pointer-with-alarm’,’’ I agreed. “What’s wrong with that?” 1

“Look, I’m not criticizing,’’ he said critically. “I don’t say it’s wrong. But you keep pressing us all the time!”

I interrupted him. ’’And do you write, wire or phone as suggested?” '

’’That’s just it,” he said. “I do what you say when I agree with you. So do other seniors I know. Can’t you do a few columns about the special joyful or pleasant things that result from our old age and our life In retirement?”

“You’ve got a point there,” I admitted. “I’ll think about it. Thanks for calling.”

Quickly, I ran into trouble. ’The special joyful or plea­sant experiences that my critic speaks of are generally I personal matters. What is pleasant and joyful for one senior may be quite the opposite for another or for many others. The a g ^ and retired are as varied in their likes and dislikes as are the young.

It would be presumptuous for a writer, therefore, to suggest that his own areas of satisfaction are in some way equally satisfying to many.

My own great and continuous source of deep content­ment is the time between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., Monday through Friday. The quiet heart of the night is my time for self-renewal. ’Those hours are completely my own. The world is asleep. But I am excitedly awake. I am totally alone. My fancies take on bright or somber colors. My memories of good times glow with warmth. The memories of past difficulties and pains suffered long ago are diffused.

Only my present age and my retirement from a steady job make these two blessed hours of selfdom possible. When young, I sang with others:

It’s three o’clock in the morning We’ve danced the whole night trough But, except for Saturday night, the time did not belong

to me. Always, there was the sense of guilt. “I’ll ^ pooped and unable to do a day’s work tomorrow.” Usual­ly, there was the feeling of doing something basically wrong.

Such carousing was generally unacceptable among serious hard-working people in our day. Those of us who are now elderly went to sleep at a normal hour. “On time” was when the office, the factory or the shop opened. And the boss or foreman was there to check us in.

In retirement, I make my own “on time” rules. Most television bores me. I doze off after the seven o’clock news. Within minutes, I am soundly sawing wood (no pun intended). Awake between 1 and 2 a.m., I freshen up. I sip a glass of milk. I read a book. I search for music ap­propriate to the mood of that moment.

It comes to 2 a.m. and I am Mr. Free-and-Elasy, making the deep night my very own. Who needs the dreams which come with sleep? The fantasies of wakefulness are ever so much more rewarding.

Now, I come back to the friendly voice on the phone which sparked this small confession. ’The pleasures of retirement and aging are not universal. Neither are the sorrows.

Time is what we have. Each of us according to our per­sonal desires seeks out those parts of “ time” that our non-employed conditions permits us to enjoy. None of those private pleasures belong in a column. Terrible things are being done to us older Americans. All of us are involved in and share the responsibility of fighting for im­provements of our lot. ’That struggle makes good newspaper columns.

Please, Mr. Tehephone Caller, don’t ask me to share my dreams with you.

The Board of Education began its in-depth looks at the preliminary school budget Wednesday night with several questions for Supt. James P. Kennedy regarding his list of 15 im­provement priorities.

Only three members of the public responded to Kennedy’s invitation Monday night, when he released his reconunended budget, to attend the series of five budget workshops. The th r e e p e rs o n s w e re J a m e s Morancey, co^hairman of the P.T.A. Council’s school budget study com­mittee and James McCauley and Larry Noone of the Robertson School P.T.A.

Saying that the budget was made as tight as possible, Dn Kennedy explained his delineations in the im­provement priorities to point up their importance. He said the priorities are usually the first items which are cut in the budget, so this year he listed three items as "reallocation priorities.” ’The reallocations were made from three staff reductions of a total of eight which are being recommended for next year.

’The savings from the other five of the reductions were used to decrease the requested appropriation.

Dr. Kennedy said he sees the situa­tion of the com m unity facing declining school enrollments as an opportunity to cut back in some areas of the budget and to make im­provements in other areas.

The top three items listed as reallocation priorities include es­tablishing the position of coordinator of volunteers at a cost of $4,000, ad­ding a reading specialist for $11,000 and adding a vocal music teacher for elementary schools for $11,(KX).

T h ree o th e r im p ro v em en t priorities items are recommended for funding in the superintendent’s budget. ’They are expansion of the

ROTC students by 30 at a cost of $35,- 000, expansion of the early childhood program with the addition by in­creasing social worker aide time, at a cost of $4,000 and developing a new program for gifted students for $14,- 000. The remaining 11 items are not recommended for funding but con­sidered important.

M orancey com m ended the recommendation for a volunteers coordinator, saying he has been such a position used very successfully in New Haven and Springfield. Several board members also spoke in favor of the position. Dr. Kennedy called it a ‘‘sm all in v es tm en t w ith big rewards.”

Noone questioned the position of the gifted program as last in the list of funded priorities. He said he is one of about 50 parents who are in­terested in teh gifted program. Noone told Dr. Kennedy that if the item were higher on the list he would get more support from those parents who organized last year as the Manchester Association for the Gifted.

He indicated that support would in­clude speaking out in public meetings for the budget. Kennedy said that the priorities list had been shifted around considerably in previous years by the board.

John Yavis, chairman of the per­sonnel and finance committee, noted that several of the board members felt that several of the improvement priorities were not where they felt they should be on the list.

Board m em ber E a r l Odom questioned the funding of the reading and music teachers ahead of art, in­strumental music and gym teachers for the elementary schools. He said funding the reading teacher would be a “ m arg in a l im p ro v em en t,’’ whereas adding an art or gym teacher would be a "substantive im­provement.” He noted that an art

teacher would make it possible for students in grades 3-6 and pre­primary to have art more often. 'They now have it only for 40 minutes every other week.

The addition of a physical-educa­tion teacher might mean that first and second grade students could have gym under a physical education in­structor, Odom said. Gym is taught by the classroom teachers In those grades.

Dr. Alfred Tychsen, assistant school superintendent in charge of curriculum, said that the reading program is always a number one priority. Addition to the reading specialist would mean that the five

. largest schools could have a full-time reading specialist, which he in­dicated they need.

Board member Verna Hublard expressed concern that there are only four art teachers on the elemen­tary level. Noting that art is required for all seventh graders, she said. "If they don’t develop art Interest in the earlier years, they don’t suddenly get it in 7th grade.”

The board will continue their workshop at 8 p.m. in the Board of Education meeting rooms at 45 N. School St. on Monday and Wednesday of next week and Jan. 31. A regular board meeting allowing public com­ment will be Jan. 24 at Verplanck School.

ConaultanVs error

Penney complex site once rejected by firm

By GREG PEARSONHerald Reporter

’Through the work of local officials, the J.C. Penney Co. became in­terested in the Manchester site for its catalog distribution center, a site it had first rejected, because of an error by a real estate consultant.

Sources from the Town of Manchester and the Greater Hart­ford Chamber of Commerce con­firmed that in early 1976 the J.C. Penney Co, had passed over the Buckland location for its distribution center. A real estate consultant hired by the company had apparently mis­taken the tract as property to be used for the Buckland Commons project, the sources said.

Penney became Interested in the site again after the town learned in June that the company was seeking a 150-acre area with proximity to rail lines and highways.

Town officials felt that the tract, located in Buckland and now being proposed as the center site, would meet the Penney needs. Manchester officials notified the Greater Hart­ford Chamber of the site, and the chamber investigated the property.

even though Penney had already looked at, and rejected, it.

The J.C. Penney Co. had a list of 26 items it sought for its. catalog dis­tribution center site, the chamber source said.

By early summer, many Hartford- area sites had been examined, but “every one was failing the test,” he said.

“ It became very difficult and frustrating,” he said. “We had to stop and say, ‘Let’s get back to basics’.”

’The chamber began re-examining sites that had already been rejected by Penney.

“Quite frankly, we were grasping at straws,” the chamber source said.

A re - e x a m in a t io n of th e Manchester site revealed that It was a "feasible one,” he said. "It met most of Penney’s criteria.”

The site was presented to the com­pany for a second look, and this time the interest blossomed.

The Penney center is the major te­nant of the town’s proposed in­dustrial park, which is planned for a site directly off 1-86 and between Tolland Tpke. and Burnham St.

’The Manchester library board ap­p roved i ts p ro p o sed budge t Wednesday night of $482,606 for 1977- 78, a 12.2 per cent increase over last year’s budget.

C a lled c o n s e r v a t iv e , and reasonable but on the lean side by board members, the budget reflects mostly inflationary increases.

There are, however. Increases allowed for resumption of Sunday openings for $4,000. Head librarian John Jackson said there have been several requests for Sunday library openings which were canceled last year as a budget conservation measure.

Also, there is a $2,000 item for necessary repairs to the Bookmobile. Another ^1,110 item accounts for an additional payroll period made necessary by the town’s conversion to a payroll computer system.

Jackson said that if the Board of Directors should cut the library

budget too heavily, he may have to cut some of the library’s services.

’The board voted to say "no, thank you” to the Manchester Civitan Club for a drinking fountain. A year ago, the club offered a drinking fountain to Mary Cheney Library. B^ause the library does not have a convenient location for the fountain, and because it would cost between $2% and $300 to install the board felt it would not be feasible to accept Civitan’s generous offer.

In other business, the board decided to take action at its next meeting on Feb. 14 on guidelines for g ra n t in g th e use of W biton Auditorium in the Whiton Memorial Library to public and civic groups.

Also, the board approved proposed plans for a ramp to be built at Mary Cheney and Whiton libraries for use by the handicapped. A cost survey of the project will be requested.

Meeting dates were changed from the former second Wednesday of the month to the second Monday of the month effective in February.

The St. Patrick’s dance committee of St. Bridget’s Social Oub will meet Friday at 8:30 p.m. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kennedy, 67 Brent Rd.

Jehovah’s Witnesses will have a theocra tic school and service meeting tonight at 7:30 at Kingdom Hall.

Al-Anon family groups will meet tonight at 8 at the Pathfinders (^ub, 102 Norman St., with the beginners group meeting at 7:30, and Friday at 10 a.m. at the South United Methodist Church campus Alateen for the 12- to 20-year-old children of problem drinkers will meet tonight at 8 at the Pathfinders Club. ’The family groups are open to those affected by someone with a drinking problem.

The executive board of the Democratic Town Committee began formulating plans Wednesday night for appointing a successor to John Thompson on the Board of Directors.

’Thompson, a former mayor and present deputy mayor, has not yet announced his resl^ation from the board, but has indicated that a recent job promotion will force him to step down before his term expires in November.

“We recognize fully that we have to find someone to replace him,” ’Ted Cummings, Democratic town chair­man, said today. “We’ve embarked on a search for the best person to replace this most extraordinary per­son — Mr. ’Thompson,” Cummings said.

HRC will study rent subsidiesRent subsidies to low income

families in East Hartford is the topic of a special meeting of the East Hart­ford Human Rights Commission Wednesday at the Town Hall at 8 p.m., said Mrs. Marcella Fahey of the HRC.

A spokesman from the federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) office in Hartford will discuss Section 8 Housing, a fairly new federal program.

"It looks like it might be a good thing for East Hartford to have,” said Mrs. Fahey .

"Most of us, however, do not know too much about it. So far, all we un­derstand is that the government will pay part of the rent of a family in order for them to have decent housing.

“For example, if a family finds a decent rent which costs $200 per month but it can only afford $125, HUD will pay the $75 difference.

"This gives a family its dignity. It does not have to be segregated into slums because of its income.”

If the program sounds good for the town, she said the HRC will probably push for it here.

Hearing set Friday on CDA application

Because of the poor weather Mon­day night. Mayor Richard Blackstone has scheduled a third hearing on the Community Development Act (CDA) application for Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall.

Few spoke at the first hearing in December. A total of nine people, in­cluding four young children of the Hans DePold family, attended Mon­day’s hearing.

Mayor Blackstone said he is anxious to get as much citizen input into the application process as possi­ble.

He will have his staff present to answer any questions about the CDA program.

The town’s first application for

$440,000 in 1975 was effectively blocked by a law suit filed by the City of Hartford. ’The issue in the case, the determination of how many low- income people should be expected to reside in East Hartford, was cited by the office of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to turn down the town’s second year application for another $440,000.

The town is appealing court decisions against it in connection with these applications.

In the meantime, the town is preparing to file a third application for $440,000, said Mayor Blackstone.

’The Town Council will hold a CDA hearing of its own ’Tuesday, Jan. 25 at 7:30 p.m. at the Town Hall.

Mayor Richard Blackstone listens carefully to men urging that Weiner, center, of the Institute of Public Service of the Universi- East Hartford adopt a new data system during a meeting tyof Connecticut; and Leonard Tolisano, senior planner with the Wednesday afternoon in the mayor’s office. The men are Myron Capital Region Council of Governments.

DIME data system explained to town

Applications okayed

Mayor Richard Blackstone and five members of his staff listened Wednesday to the arguments of data experts that East Hartford tie into a new data system.

TTie system is the Dual Indepen­dent Map and Encoding system called DIME.

DIME was developed after the 1970 census as a way of using computers and a town’s and region’s current data to help planning and increase understanding of problems as they develop.

Michael Valuk, the mayor’s assis­tant, said the system is like “a huge

fish net placed over the town.” Data is hung on the net wherever it belongs.

'The computer can then be asked for any type of answers by region, by town, and even by each hole in the net.

For example, DIME could tell the town police chief how much crime of a ce rta in type was com m ited between Carroll Rd. and Garvan St. on Main St. in a certain period. ’The answer might tell him how much police coverage to assign to this block and when.

Urging the system for the town

were Leonard Tolisano, senior planner for the Capital Region Coun­cil of Governments; and Myron Weiner, a computer expert with the Institute of Public Service of the University of Connecticut.

Hearing the DIME story with the mayor and Valuk were Town Planner David Juliano, Fhiblic Works Direc­tor Arthur Mulligan, Town Engineer Charles, Sheehan, and John Shemo, member of the D epartm ent of Development staff.The system has been approved for use in Hartford, West Hartford and

Manchester, said Shemo. East Hart­ford would complete a four-town system. Valuk said other towns joining DIME later would be tacked onto this system.

The cost to East Hartford would come in the form of four or five weeks of clerical work preparing the data for the system. ’This might be about $5,000. Federal funds would pay 75 per cent of other costs, said Shemo.

Several town staff members will attend a Friday meeting at CRCOG’s Hartford office to study “the nuts and bolts” of DIME, said Valuk.

The East Hartford Inland Wetlands Commission Tuesday approved two applications.

Denny’s Inc., a West Coast restaurant franchise firm, won ap­proval for a grading plan at a proposed Denny’s Restaurant to be in Charter Oak Plaza off Silver Lane. ’The plan was prepared by A.E. Miles, an archit^t.

The restaurant firm must now go before the Planning and Zoning Com­

mission at its Feb. 9 meeting, said Town Planner David Juliano.

Richard W. Strong won Inland Wetlands Commission approval to improve part of his property off 876 Oak St. He plans to put in piping to improve drainage to make a garden, he said. He will also put in a foot bridge across a brook on his land.

Strong’s plans do not Include a building, said Town Engineer Charles Sheehan.

Brown Gold!East Hartford Public Works people

are calling the sand they are dispen­sing "brown gold,” said William Hutt, administrative assistant to Arthur Mulligan, director.

The demand for the department’s sand is so great, he said Wednesday, the department’s crews find it hard to keep pickup locations fully stocked.

Mulligan said Wednesday sand will be stocked and available at special places in addition to the sand boxes.

The places are: North End Park near the Senior Citizens building, Highview St. at the top of the hill. Great Hill Rd. near the Mayberry School, Penney Dr., Gorman Park, Maple St. at Broad St., Wickham Dr., Smart St., the rear of Firehouse 6 on Forbes St., and Maple St. at the rear entrance to Goodwin Playground.

Sand is always available at the Street Division Town Yard on Ecology Dr. off Burnside Ave., he said.

Mulligan said he is sorry about the poor plowing done on some streets due to parked cars. The police could not tow the cars away as quickly as in the past due to a new state law governing towing cars.

The new state law passed by the General Assembly in the last session requires that police make every attempt possible to locate the owner of a vehicle before towing.

The new law Includes an appeal procedure by car owners whose cars are towed. The appeal is made to a panel or person appointed by the highest governing authority in a town.

’There are also situations in which a ear is towed if police determine that a car is blocking emergency vehicles or potential hazard for further ac­cidents.

So the plowing crews have merely plowed around the cars while police place parking tickets on them. Even after the car is removed, the snow buildup makes car passage on some streets difficult.

M ulligan sa id th is y e a r ’s snowstorms requiring work of his crews is 11. At the same time last year it was four.

HARTFORD (UPI) - State Poliv. Commissioner Ekiward P. Leonard said today owners of the proposed Milford jai alai arena have stalled on providing vital financial Information needed before their license could be approved.

Leonard said he had sent a letter to the owners, Dania Jai Alai Corp., saying that unless the information is provided he would not recommend they be given a license.

’Die Milford fronton is scheduled to open in May if the paperwork can be resolved.

He said that after a great deal of prodding company officials, had opened the firm’s books to the state police, but had not provided some ad­ditional financial information. He would not say exactly what that needed Information was.

“I feel they haven’t provided all the Information we need,” Leonard said.

‘"They haven’t refused, they’re just hedging. Until we get all the informa­tion, my report will not be complete. Until my report is complete, I am not going to sanction a license for ' anyone.”

Leonard, noting the problems caused by insufficient original in­v e s tig a tio n of ow ners of the Bridgeport jai alai arena, said he was determined a repeat of that situation would not occur again.

’The gaming commission revoked a license granted to the original owners of the Bridgeport arena after subsequently being unsatisfied with those running the facility.

In that incident the original promoter, David Friend, has been charged with perjury and larceny in connection with his role heading the enterprise before the license was revoked. The state police is charged with doing a security check for the gaming commission on owners of legalized gambling facilities before a license can be issued.

Leonard said he is not upset by the problems in getting records from Dania, but was being especially careful because of the previous experience.

Vernon charter unit delays big decisionBy BARBARA RICHMOND

Herald ReporterThe newly formed Charter Revi­

sion Commission probabiy won’t reconunend changing Vernon’s form of government — at least not until it has considered all aspects of the charter.

A 6-4 vote at the commission’s first meeting Wednesday night killed the idea of considering the change "up front.”

Seymour Lavitt, a strong propo­nent of consolidation and a member of past revision commissions, was elected chairman; Fred McKone, vice chairman; and Ruth Ventura, secretary.

Lavitt, who voted for considering the government change right away, said he did so “because I can’t wait to kill the idea. It wouldn’t stand a chance of passing,’’ he said.

Thomas Dooley, a member of the Town Council, said he would- be against discussing a change before the other aspects of the charter had

' been considered.“What we’re saying is that 12 of us

are going to make a decision about the government before we talk with any officials, and I find that in- c r^ b ie ," Dooiey said.

At the start of the meeting. Mayor Thomas Benoit said the last charter revision was approved Nov. 3,1970.

“In the six years since then, the town has grown and the charter must be updated and revised to reflect this growth,” the mayor said.

He said he will have some recommendations to make about areas to be studied and said he and his department and commission heads will be available when needed.

The mayor asked the commission to encourage public participation, particularly by such groups as the League of Women Voters and the Chamber of Commerce.

“Without input from the public our work may be in vain. I can’t stress strongly enough the importance of contributions from the public,” he said.

“The main purpose of this commis­sion is to revise our charter to im­prove our town for the present and for future years,” be said.

On a motion by Thomas Wolff, the commission set a target date of ^ p t. 15 to come in with its recommen­dations. It hopes to bring them to a public vote in the next municipal elections, Nov. 8.

Town officials feel the voter tur­nout would not be large enough to pass the revisions unless the questions are on an election ballot. It also saves the town money on a special referendum.

It was also agreed to have meetings each Monday and to have various department h ^d s come to give their opinions about changes in their departments.

The meetings will be at 8 p.m. in the Council C ham ber of the Memorial Building.

Stanley Roesler, the director of ad­ministration, and former director Richard Borden, former director, will be contact^ concerning any suggestions for changes for the government.

At the next meeting commission members will make recommen­dations about how to divide the charter for study.

The two commission members representing the League of Women Voters, Mary Glenn and Christine Lutts, said they feel the form of government should be studied and experts should be brought in from other towns to discuss oUier forms.

Lavitt said forms of government don’t change on recommendation, they change on the basis of crisis and this doesn’t exist in Vernon. He said the odds are against any change being approved and questioned whether ^ e commission has the time to discuss this.

Wolff said he would also like to hear what former Mayor Frank McCoy has to say about the charter. McCoy served as mayor for six years before Benoit was elected.

Dreselly gets two ideas on use of old libraryB olton

Bolton First Selectman David Dreselly said today he has received a couple of suggestions on how the old library can be used.

Harold Smith has expressed an in­terest in purchasing the building.

Resident State Trooper Robert Peterson has suggested it be used for a constabulary force.

Dreselly said the matter will be d is c u s s e d by th e B o a rd of Selectmen’s Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Community Hall.Check is received

D reselly said the town has received a 31,600 check for the se­cond quarter of Title II funding. Recently the town received a check for 32,000 for the first quarter. At the same time it received a letter saying it would not receive any funding.

Dreselly said the town has six

months to allocate the funds. He said they will probably be used for road repair or construction.

Town M eeting a p p ro v a l is necessary for the allocation. The item will be on the agenda of the next Town Meeting, probably later this month.

Bulletin boardThe Bolton Ecumenical Council

will meet Jan. 20 at 8 p.m. at the St. Maurice Church Parish Center.

The Bolton Lions Gub recently provided eyeglasses for a needy youngster in the area. Proceeds from the club’s horse show and chicken barbecue are being used for such needs. Anyone who no longer needs a pair of glasses may donate them to the club by leaving them at England Hardware, Bolton.

Coventry’s Democratic Town Com­mittee has decided to support the town manager form of government, to strengthen this form of govern­ment through charter revision, and to oppose the strong mayor form of government advocate by elected Republicans in their campaign promises.

The D em ocra ts m ade th e ir decisions Tuesday night after Town Manager Frank Connolly spoke about the town types of government.

Connolly clearly supported the town manager form, saying he has favored that type of government for a long time.

Connolly said the major difference between the two forms is the power structure. In the town manager form, the town manager has ad­ministrative powers and answers to the Town Council; in the strong mayor form, the mayor has all the power and answers only to the elec­tors, he said.

Connolly said the strong mayor form is most popular in larger municipalities and the town manager form is popular in smaller com­munities.

Cohnolly said the Coventry town charter should better define the power and authority of the town manager. The administrative and

budgetary responsibilities aren’t well defined, he said.

A charter revision commission formed by the Town Council recently had to be disbanded because more than one third of its members were town officials. The Council is now forming a new commission.

In other action Tuesday night, the Democratic Town Committee urged the Town Council to place local responsibility for the Coventry-to- Hartford commuter bus program with the Conservation Commission, instead of the Eiconomlc Develop­ment Commission.

Daniel Manley said the Conserva­tion Commission supported the town committee in initiating the bus idea and bringing it to the Windham Regional Planning Agency (WRPA).

Just as the WRPA was on thd brink of establishing the project, the Town Council tu rn ^ the program over to the development commission, which put the project on its inactive list, Manley said.

The Conservation Commission has a strong interest in the project, Manley said.

“It should be in their hands,” Manley said. “We need a strong group which will push this project with the s ta te D epartm ent of Transportation and the WRPA.”

Andover needs building for firemen's generator

Rockville chamber gives $$ to CRCOGBy BARBARA RICHMOND

Herald ReporterDirectors of the Rockville Area

Chamber of Commerce voted Wednesday to appropriate 3500 to the C a p ito l R eg io n C o u n c il of Governments (CRCOG) to help finance programs for which there are no federal funds.

The request for the money came from the Greater Hartford Chamber of (Commerce, and Steven Lamont, board chairman for the Rockville chamber, set up a subcommittee to recommend action.

Lamont said he called Vernon, Ellington and Tolland officials to get their reaction to the request. He said Vernon and Tolland officials were in favor of giving the money, but Ellington officials, while generally in favor, wanted to give it more con­sideration.

One of the conditions of giving the 3500 is that a review will be made later to see how the money is being spent. Another condition is to take the money from the chamber’s mis­cellaneous projects fund and contact cham ber m em bers asking for donations to offset the amount.

The Town of Vernon had been asked to contribute 33,000 to CRCOG. CRCOG officials told the Town Coun­cil that federal and state funding this year requires an increased amount of local match.

Vernon officials, while sym­pathetic to CRCOG’s needs, asked the organization to come back and make its request during budget deliberations.• The chamber directors also passed

a resolution concerning a proposal to consolidate the m aternity and

pediatrics units of Rockville General Hospital with Manchester Memorial Hospital.

The recommendation to con­solidate was made by the Commis­sion on Hospitals and Health Care. Rockville hospital officials asked for the endorsement of the chamber’s executive board to keep its facilities here.

The chamber resolution endorses the hospital’s position as well as further expansion of the facilities.

The chamber executive committee agreed* that to move the units to another town would be detrimental both economically and 'from a general public standpoint.

Andrew Trlcarico also told the chamber board it should proceed with planning legislation to give proponents of the proposal an oppor­tunity to speak wkh area legislators.

He said health agencies are proposing legislation which would given them more authority and power to take away services.

In other chamber business, La­mont told the board that the rate structure for chamber members will be revised. He said rates are based on the size of an organization and some may be paying too much while some may be paying too little.

Howard Wolfanger reported on the Department On Aging. He said he has a part-time person working on the job bank program and there have been 27 persons seeking jobs. He said the department’s bus service has 172 members who pay by the year. He said 155 of these are over 60 and 17 others are handicapped. He said the bus has traveled 9M miles over the past six months.

Andover fire commissioners are seeking a small portable building to house a generator at the fire station.

One was donated, but before It could be moved to the firehouse. It was “destroyed by a fire of an un­determined origin,” said J. Russell Thompson, chairman.

The building was donated by Manchester Sand and Gravel. It had been used as an office.

The town has four portab le generators. One Is now used when there is a power failure but, accor­ding to Thompson, “it takes time to hitch it up.”

Anyone having such a building to donate should call Thompson.

No PZC actionThe Andover Planning and Zoning

Commission took no action on the numbering of houses at its meeting Monday.

“We need more information on the need for such a system,” said Mary Keenan, chairman.

The commission also took no action on a re-application for an excavation permit by the Balf Co. More informa­tion is needed.

Mrs. Keenan was re-elected chair­man of the commission for the third time. Eva LaBaron was elected secretary and Thomas Larivere was appointed the commission’s agent to the Wetlands Commission.

Bolton first selectman won’t seek re-election

Hebron zone lines still not set

Bolton First Selectman David Dreselly said today he will not seek re-election as first selectman in the May town election.

Dreselly said he won’t seek any elected position for at least two years. He said he “will take a two- year breather from politics and devote the time to a professional designation.”

Dreselly, a Republican, is serving his first term as first selectman. Before taking office in July 1975, he served as a selectman for one term and as a member of the Planning

Commission in an unexpired term.Dreselly is employed by the

Richard Barry appraisal firm in Manchester.

Norman Preuss, a Republican, will be the lone member of the present Board of Selectmen seeking re- election. He said he hopes to remain on the board as a selectman.

Leon Rivers, a Democratic select­man, will not seek re-election. He is now a classified state employe at Somers prison and may not hold an elected position.

Drafted zone descriptions are still in the preliminary stages despite a four-hour meeting of the Hebron Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) Tuesday night. A final decision is expected to be made at the PZC’s Jan. 25 meeting.

Some residents attended the lengthy meeting to oppose changes in zone descrip­tions of their areas.

Donald Robinson of Rt. 85 questioned the PZC’s decision to delete the neighborhood business zone originally proposed for his Rt. 85 and Rham Rd. property.

The business zone was made effective Dec. 1 and Robinson had planned to build both business structures and duplex homes along his property.

The commission, however, proposed to withdraw the business district classification in the new zoning descriptions. Robinson told the PZC that if the proposal stands, he will have no choice but to build all duplex apartments on the property.

Robinson had previously received court per­mission to build duplex housing mingled with business structures.

PZC Chairman Salvatore Mastandrea ac­cused Robinson of trying to intimidate the commission with the threat of duplex housing. Robinson said it wasn’t a threat but “a fact.”

Duplex housing is no longer allowed in the town, but Robinson, who presented a preliminary subdivision plan just before the PZC action which prohibited duplex housing.

won a court decision allowing him to build two-family homes. The court action is valid for five years.

PZC Secretary Wilbur Dennis said that when new regulations were first discussed, he told Robinson he would try to obtain a business zone for the property if Robinson did not pur­sue his plans for duplex housing.

Most PZC members, however, stood firm on the decision to delete the business zone.

Several members of the Barrasso family protested the deletion of the business zone that was to encompass the Joseph Barrasso family homestead on Gilead St., Rt. 85.

Charles Barrasso said the family wanted the property to remain business zone. He said ef­forts have been made to develop a Colonial restaurant in the Barrasso home.

Barrasso said he could not understand why the zone was deleted in the Dec. 1 map. He said the family would prefer to see the zone enlarged, not deleted.

PZC members indicated they would favor retaining a neighborhood business zone en­compassing much of the Barrasso property The family was asked to provide the PZC with a plan for the property.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stula protested the change on Rt. 66 from what was general business to a neighborhood business zone. The rezoning would restrict the types of businesses that could be operated in that area.

Stula said they would be unable to expand their business, now on Rt. 66, and he

questioned the resale of the business even un­der a neighborhood zone.

PZC members seemed to agree that the area should be a neighborhood business zone and problems of permitted uses could be e lim in a ted by am ending the zoning regulations. It was felt that any other action would require amendment of the town plan itself.

Sol Ellenberg asked the PZC to consider deepening the neighborhood business zone on his property west of Rt. 85. He suggested a depth of 950 feet rather than 400 feet.

The preliminary draft of the zone was amended to provide a 600-foot depth for the business zone there. It was also agreed to in­crease the depth of the business zone on the south side of the intersections of Rts. 85 and 94 to 600 feet rather than 300 feet.

In other business, member ^ y Wirth sub­mitted his resignaUon effective Feb. 9.

Wirth was recently elected along with Mastandrea to the Rham District 8 Board of Education.

Library drops film fees Area bulletin board

South W indsorThe South Windsor Library board of direc­

tors has voted to remove the 32 transaction charge for borrowing films at the library, effective immediately.

The fee was used to help defray postage and handling charges. With the implementation of the State Library’s Connecticar service, the board felt that there was less cost involved in the handling of films.

Connecticar is a statewide interlibrary courier service which picks up and delivers library materials to virtually all public libraries and to some special and university, libraries.

The service was begun in conjunction with Connecticard, the statewide acceptance of local library cards in out-of-town libraries.

The South Windsor Public Library is a member of the Film Cooperative of Connec­ticut and also has access to the new Connec­ticut State Film Service. Both of these film

(U P I Pho to)

Dave Cotoena (right) ready to come hackCeltic GM Red Auerbach in relaxed mood

Thoughts ApLENty

Gettin 'jobbed''Having not done it in a long while,

after promising myself it wouldn’t happen again, the passions were tempted after witnessing East Catholic’s basketball game Tuesday night in Waterbury and the fingers responded in regard to a favorite topic — officials. Specifically — western Connecticut style.

The Eagles lost, and the coaches readily admit that was their fate, but no way was it a 20-point game as it turned out. You couldn’t call it out­right larceny, but a judge and jury would have to deliberate hours to come up with a verdict. Even the local reporter from a Waterbury p a p e r , i t ’s u n d e rs to o d , was wondering what his eyes had seen.

Yes, folks. East got the yee olde fashion “job" put to it, which ap- parehtly is a specialty of downstate officials. Don’t misunderstand. Holy Cross has a good team. But the Crusaders get far more assistance than they need.

Holy Cross has a long, very long, home winning streak and while of­ficials there wouldn’t cite exact figures one did state, “Yes, we haven’t lost too many here.” Isn’t that a joke?

Three years ago, when Joe Whelton was performing his magic for East, the Eagles had a 15-point lead over Holy Cross with five minutes left. The Crusaders hacked away and won by two, with East having not

scored down the stretch run. Former UConn assistant coach Steve Bell at the time had a keen observation afterwards stating, “You somehow get to expect it on the road." He could’ve added especially at Holy Cross.

Hartford Public, either last year or the year before, lost a one-point deci­sion to Cross on two technical fouls on coach John Cuyler. Guess how many T’s the veteran Public coach had previously (or since)? Don’t want to press you but you get three guesses and the first four don’t count.

Couple of plays come to mind. Mark Dumals driving the baseline got whapped by one and slam dunked by another Crusader landing, in some discomfort, out of bounds. The ruling. East ball out of bounds. Late in the game, Dumais was the recipient of a flying elbow, un­detected of course, and he was madder than a wet hornet. A console- ment attempt by the elbower went unappreciated with Blast coach Stan Ogrodnlk somewhat irate and Cross coach Tim McDonald commenting, “Come on Stan, what’s the matter?"

It’s not only the quantity of calls but the quality. Many of the fouls, 29 in all, against East came early while Cross without fear crashed the offen­sive backboards. If you’re a Crusader and you know you’re not going to get c a ll^ for smashing someone, sen­ding them Into hitherland, why not— simple logic tells you that.

I hope this column finds its way down to Waterbury and McDonald because If I was he. I’d be em­barrassed. I surely wouldn’t be proud of the home winning streak. Is it for real, or abetted? And if I was East

Surprise; Cowens returnsMANCHESTER EVENING HERALD, Manchester. Conn.. Thurs., Jan. 13, 1977— PAGE FIVE-B

BOSTON (UPI) - Just as suddenly as cen te r Dave Cowens rejoined the Boston Celtics, guard Charlie Scott was lost for the season.

Cowens, changing his opinion of a day earlier to stay out of basketball until next season, arrived at Boston Garden Wednesday afternoon and told General Manager Red Auer­bach he was ready to play again.

The 28-year-old pivotman, saying 'people are following me everywhere I go,” planned to rejoin the team’s practice today.

But five hours after Cowens ended his tw o-m onth, self-im posed absence, Scott suffered a double break in his left forearm in a 112-101 loss to the Indiana Pacers. Doctors

say he will be lost for 12-14 weeks, but could return for the playoffs — if the defending champions can reach post season play.

Earlier in the day, owner Irv Levin, Auerbach and coach Tom Heinsohn were smiling as they hadn’t smiled since Nov. 10, when Cowens left the team because he had lost his enthusiasm for basketball.

“Yeah, the enthusiasm is back and I won’t lose it again," Cowens told reporters after discussing his return with Auerbach, ‘"rhat’s one of the things I learned while I was away. I didn’t do much during that time but I -learned a lot about basketball and the media.”

“People were following me around (the past two months), seeing what I was doing,” he said. "I didn’t want to come back so soon; I would have liked to stay out the whole year. But it was more hectic not playing than It was playing. So I’m just going to play

the first minute of play Wednesday night, collided in midair with In­diana’s Dan Roundfield. Scott fell hard on the floor, bracing himself with the same arm that had been broken two seasons earlier while he was with Phoenix.

Scott, who had a plate and 11 screws removed from the forearm after the Celtics won the playoffs last June, broke both bones in his left forearm and will be lost from 12-14 weeks, according to team physician. Dr. ’Thomas A. Silva.

He underwent successful surgery early today at Boston’s University Hospital.

“We’re not expecting to see him again this season,” said coach Tom

Catholic, the only answer to a Holy Cross inquiry about a game in Water­bury is ‘are you kidding?’ Call me stupid but don’t take me for a fool. After seeing Tuesday night’s tilt, and hearing too much about other con­tests, the only reply to Holy Cross is either at my place, at a neutral site or ‘fella, it’s been nice knowing you.’

Or as a scout for Ansonia High at the half Tuesday deftly put it, “If you do happen to get in a close game here, forget it.”

Big gameJust a couple of short years ago,

respect for Manchester High basket­ball was not exactly at a peak. It was no big deal playing the Silk Towners, but times have changed. Manchester in just two short years under coach Doug Pearson has become ‘"rhe Big Game” for the opposition. The In­dians have progressed so, now teams sit back and wait and get mentally “psyched” for the locals.

Enfield High coach Fran Aniello after a 34-point loss to the Indians stated, “We hustled and scrapped but M anchester was very tough, probably the best team we’ve faced all season.” Fermi coach Tom Snipe after his team got into the win column last Friday said, “I’m glad the kids got a taste of victory before we went into the Manchester game. Now they’re excited about playing Manchester.” Words unheard of until recently.

F e rm i considered its gam e Tuesday night versus Manchester as its ’The Game’ of the season and the o n e-po in t se tb a c k could be devastating to the Falcons the rest of the year. Hopefully it won’t be as Fermi is far better than its 1-7 record indicates. ’The Enfield-based five has lost four by two points or less.

Telling signYou can tell an ongoing successful

hoop program when it starts to turn out college material year after year. Manchester High after a seemingly long (maybe it’s not seemingly) dry spell is getting to that point. Bob Healy is playing at Ithaca College, Jim McNickle has made the Central Connecticut State (Allege jayvee club and prep schooler Mike Quesnel, an MHS grad, will soon join the ranks.

Quesnel was slighted by some college coaches a year ago because they felt he was too skinny to take the grind and also because some just looked at the scoring column. Now Quesnel, who Is doing post-graduate work at Suffleld Academy, has gained the attention of University of Hartford coach Gary Palladlno along with overtures from Fairfield and Brown.

Fairfield University had a scout In attendance Tuesday night and while he came looking at Jeff Kleman, 6-7, center and potential college forward, he went away impressed by him and John Pisch. ’The Stags, along with the rest, better not look just at the scoring stats for Manchester is not geared having someone throw in 35 points a game. It’s a team game here and the birddogs better realize that.

Heinsohn Wednesday night. “It is possible he could be ready for the playoffs, but we’ll have to see.”

’The Celtics learned during the evening that center Dave Cowens will return from his personal leave of absence.

Scott had been Boston’s second- leading scorer, behind backcourt mate Jo Jo White, with a 19.3 average. In the absence of Cowens, the two guards and swingman John Havlicek had to pick up the scoring slack.

Now Havlicek, 36 years of age and with a cranky left knee, must move back to guard at a time when he is more suited to play forward.

“ Yeah, I ’m a g u a rd ,” said Havlicek Wednesday night after Scott’s injury had left Boston with two regular backcourt players. “Playing guard doesn’t give me the freedom I have when I’m playing forward.

‘"rhe miracle-workers will have to column Tuesday, 1-6 Cheney Tech find another guard for us.” will go after its second baskeihall Coach Tom Heinsohn sat down with victory of the 1976-77 campaign General Manager Red Auerbach late tonight at home against Bacon Wednesday to discuss the backcourt Academy in a C h a rte r Oak problem.

Revolving door in Celts’ camp

Cheney homeHaving broken into the win

NEW YORK (U P I)-E n te r: Dave Cowens. Exit; Charlie Scott.

In a theatrical turn of events worthy of Ibsen, the Boston Celtics welcomed the return of their 6-foot-8 center from voluntary retirement only to have their standout guard lost for the rest of the season with a broken forearm.

And as an a fte rth o u g h t to W e d n e sd a y ’s d r a m a t ic developments, the Celtics dropped a 112-101 decision to Indiana for the Pacers’ sixth straight victory.

“We’re trying to hold it together with baling wire,” said Boston Coach Tom Heinsohn of the quick-changing scenery.

After nine weeks of retirement for personal reasons and an abbreviated career as a harness racing executive, Cowens is rejoining the team he led to two NBA championships.

“I decided to play for the rest of the season and forevermore,” the 28- year-old pivotman said after dis­cussions Wednesday with General Manager Red Auerbach.

He is expected to be in uniform for Friday night’s home game against Portland.

“A lot of things have happened to me over the course of not playing that I felt It was better to play,” Cowens added’ “ People were following me around, seeing what I’m doing. So I’m just going to play basketball again. It’s easier.”

Meanwhile, Scott, averaging more than 19 points a game, broke his forearm in two places when he fell to the floor after colliding w i^ In-- diana’s Dan Roundfield.

Billy Knight scored 33 points for In­diana, which reached the .500 mark for the first tim e since early November. Boston, which had to open the game without starters Sidney Wicks and Curtis Rowe, who were caught in heavy traffic, got 30 points from Jo Jo White and a career- high 22 from Tom Boswell. Round- field had 18 points and Wil Jones 15 for the Pacers.

basketball. It's easier.”Cowens is expected to see very

limited action Friday night against Portland, then he worked gradually back into game shape with in­creasing playing time.

But with Scott out of the lineup, John Havlicek must move back to a guard position and the Celtics must come up with another high-scoring player. It is possible Cowens Oould be thrown into action more quickly than he would like.

“I saw Dave today and he looked in shape to me,” said coach Tom Hein­sohn, “but we’ll just have to work with him In practice and see what he can do. But I sure am pleSsed he Is back with us.”

Cowens’ teammates, holding no grudges because of his sudden depar- tu r e and ju s t a s su d d en reappearance, also were pleased with the center’s return.

"Dave’s his own man,” said Jo Jo

White, who had made a critical remark when Cowens attended a Celtics game last month as a visitor. “He’s back and we welcome him back with open arms. We need him.”

-Havlicek added, “I was surprised when he left and I was surprised when he came back. We need him and look forward to having him.”

Cowens had expected such remarks because, “ they’re aways happy to have a guy around who can pass.”

It had been announced previously by New Harness Raceway that ciwens would work for them while he was on a leave from the Celtics. However, (?owens said Wednesday he 'did not take a job with the track.

Eddie Andelman, part owner of the raceway, said Wednesday Cowens was “an assistant general manager” and was receiving a moderate salary.

MGC quintet wins, snaps losing skein

By DAVE ROBACKCorrespondent

It was not a heart stopper, and it was not your classic runaway. It was hard to classify but It turned out to be a Manchester Community College basketball victory over a sloppy Hartford UConn squad, 76-57, last night at East Catholic.

The win was the second in nine starts for the Cougars, who broke a six-game losing streak, and they’ll return to action Saturday night at Elast against South Central Com­munity College.

The game got off to a slow start but soon progressed in MCC’s favor mainly because of the accurate out­side shooting of Craig Wilson and the inside play of 6-4 forward Mike Robinson. The pair combined for 14 points as the 6>ugars took a 24-10 edge with 8:55 left in the opening half.

With the likes of 6-6 center Steve Zocco and backup Mark Bolasivich,

GeorgeScott inRSox fold

BOSTON (UPI) - George Scott has agreed to terms with the Red Sox, as most expected even when the first baseman had balked after being trad ed back to Boston from Milwaukee.

What was more surprising in Boston’s announcement of nine new signees Wednesday was that veteran Rico Petrocelli was in the list.

The 12-year veteran, used very lit­tle last year after rookie Butch Hob­son was given the third base job in mid-season, had hoped to be taken by the S ea ttle M arin ers In the November expansion draft. But he was passed over and faced with a decision to retire or sign as a utility player for Boston.

The other players to sign with Boston recently were infielders Ted Cox, Jack Baker and Hobson, out­fielder Dave Coleman, catcher Andy Merchant and pitchers Bob Stanley and Jim Vosk.

with 6-2 forward Steve Faulkner, the Cougars had no trouble controlling the offensive boards while building a 44-25 halftime bulge.

Wilson continued his hot hand early in the second half but he was forced to the sideline, saddled with four per­sonal fouls. Returning late, after sit­ting out most of the quarter, Wilson still led the Cougars with 16 points.

Nick DeMarco picked up where Wilson left off as MCC built its lead to a whopping 71-42 with 8:43 left. Hartford UConn staged a mild com­eback but it fell far short.

DeMarco had 15 points, Robinson 14 and Faulkner 12 as the Cougars put four men in double figures. Dave Carter with 10 markers was the lone double digit scorer for 2-4 Hartford UConn.

MCC (76) - DeMarco 6 3-3 15, Zocco 3 0-0 6, Faulkner 6 0-0 12, Cheney 4 0-0 8, Robinson 7 0-0 14, Nolen 0 0-2 0, Wilson 8 0-0 16, Bolasivich 2 1-2 5, Henderson 0 0-0 0. Totals 36 4-7 76.

“ I am looking forward to a successful 1976-77 season. Our added depth should make the bench stronger, and I would say that at this stage we are ahead of last year.

Skiers like slopes, mostly white onlyBOSTON (U P D -Is

skiing a lilly-white ac­tivity? Whether by h a p p e n s t a n c e or design, precious few

blacks actively par­t a k e in one of A m erica’s biggest rec rea tio n a l past- times.

Bias Stimac

Honorable mention

Stimac honored again by soccer association

Blaz S tim ac of E ast Stroudsberg State College has been chosen as a repeat selection on the 1976 All-American soccer team as selected by the National Soccer Coaches' Associa­tion.

Stimac was one of 55 players recognized at the annual Coaches' Associa­tion All-American banquet last Saturday in San Fran­cisco.

T he s e n io r f ro mManchester, Conn, was an' honorable mention choice as a back for the second straight year. The All- American team includes 11 players on the first team, 11 on the second team and 33 receiving honorable mention.

S t im a c led E a s tStroudsburg to a 10-6-1 record and the school's

fo u r th P e n n s y lv a n ia Conference soccer cham­pionship in eight years. He was the team 's leading scorer with six goals and five assists from his half­back position.

During his four-year collegiate soccer career, S t im a c w a s a n A ll- Pennsylvania Conference choice all four years, an All-District selection three times and an All-American twice.

He was team captain as a junior and senior. His career scoring totals were 21 goals and 20 assists with three years as a halfback and one as a fullback. During this period, the Warriors won 41 games, lost 21 and tied three.

Stimac is the third E^st Stroudsburg player to gain All-American honors more than once.

Some possible answers seem to revolve around economics and culture.

Like it or not, skiing is a sport of the middle-to- upper classes. During its fo rm ative s tag es as a rec rea tio n , few blacks w ere in th a t econom ic bracket.

Secondly, skiing has no d irect link to the Afro tradition of physical activi­ty’

Bom fi^m the need by N orthern E uropeans — particularly Scandinavians — to traverse snowbound m ountainsides, m odern recreational skiing in this country first blossomed in New England, spreading gradually West. Most of its earliest proponents were of Nordic origin.

Afro-America’s recreational traditions — as documented in Jam es E. M ichener’s latest book, “Sports in America” — sprung more than a cen­tury ago in slave days from torrid African climate ac­tivities revolving around hunting or running, virtual­ly to the exclusion of winter sports.

Despite three centuries of cultural melding, the twains have apparently not met.

And until only the past two decades, recreational skiing was economically prohibitive to even most white Americans, mostly because of the travel in­volved.

“ I really don’t know why more blacks don’t ski, but there’s no doubt it is quite expensive for any average person — of any color,” offered Basil Bantimiba, to whom skiing came as a cultural shock two years ago as a high school foreign exchange student in Cape Cod, Nbss.

“Sking was a word we lea rn ed ou t of a d ic ­tionary,” said Bantimiba, 22, remembering his first ski experience fresh to this country from his native Uganda.

“ I thought it was crazy to go so fast on your feet,” he re c a lle d la s t week during a ski break from his freshman studies at Brad­ford College in Haverhill, Mass.

There seems to be no evidence of overt racial d i s c r i m i n a t i o n in recreational skiing.

By M IL T RICH M A N NEW YORK (UPI) - La

belle France should hide her eyes in shame. Not only are her skirts dirty, her hands are, too.

What the French government has done by arbitrarily releasing Palesti- n ian t e r r o r i s t Abu D aoud is demonstrate to the rest of the world not only how spineless and mindless that government is, but also how con­veniently It forgot this is the human monster who premeditated, planned and im plem ented the Infam ous massacre of 11 Israeli athletes a t the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich.

One of the reasons given for Daoud’s release was that the French police had no concrete proof of his guilt.

Good Lord, they must've been looking down the wrong sewer!

Daoud was so proud of his Munich m urders, he went on television several years ago and boasted about them.

The French didn’t fool anybody w ith th e ir sh am efu l c h a ra d e . Everybody was fully aware of the way France was doing a knee-jerk for the Arab countries, obsequiously kowtowing to them, hoping to be paid back in oil.

Under their own law, they could’ve held him for two weeks on extradi­tion requests by Israel and West Ger­many.

The French court, however, said the Israeli request did not apply and ruled that the West German request was incomplete and was not filed in time.

(In Bonn, the West G erm any Foreign Ministry said that while extradition treaties formally require action within two days in such cases, accepted international practice nor­mally allows more flexibility.)

So, the French quickly hustled Daoud onto a plane to Algeria. They were so considerate, they even bought him a first-class ticket.

One of the myths perpetuated down through the years is that sports and politics don’t mix. Like hell they don't. Sports and politics go together as naturally as lettuce and tomatoes, only they never seem to come out as well.

The action by the French in turning Dauod loose so he’ll be free to plot how to kill more people was so un­speakably outrageous that It drew condemnation even from the French press. Le Figaro called the entire p ro ceed in g “ a p uppet sh o w .” Another newspaper, France-Soir, said the Arabs will show “neither respect nor consideration” for what the French did for them.

From my own personal experience with the Arabs, I have to buy that. At the same time, I have to wonder at how narrow minded the French could've been In letting Daoud go. I t’s one thing for them to have burled their heads in the sand over the atrocity a t Munich five years ago. After all, those weren’t Frenchmen who lost their lives, but didn’t they pay any attention to the markings on the plane Arab terrorists hijacked to Entebbe only seven months ago? That was an Air France plane.

No m atter how long I ’m on this earth, 1 don’t think I ’ll ever forget that black September day in Munich, Sept, 5. 1972.

Daoud had planned well. It was about four o'clock in the morning when Arab terrorists climbed over a fence into the Olympic Village, and a short time later, anfted with sub­machine guns, they broke into the

Israeli compound and killed two of the Israeli coaches.

For the next 22 hours, they held nearly two dozen Israeli athletes hostage. One of the terrorists in the Israeli compound paraded a hostage in front of him at gunpoint for the West German officials to see. The hostage’s hands were tied behind his back and his eyes were blindfolded. The terro ris t kept prodding the hostage with his submachine gun, continually poking it in his back.

I didn't read this; I saw it with my own eyes, from the balcony of a near­by compound in wnlch the Puerto R ican O lym pic a th le te s w ere quartered. I remember the endless negotiations that went on that day and how it ail ended In a shootout with nine more Israelis dying a t a military airport 15 miles away.

Back in 1894, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, called the “ Founder of the Modern Olympic Games,” felt the games would be instrumental in “creating international respect” and thus “help construct a better and more peaceful world.”

Baron Pierre de Coubertin was a Frenchman. He has been gone 40 years now, but 1 doubt he’d feel proud over his country’s release of an avowed terrorist who openly boasted of masterminding such a horror as the Munich massacre.

Cup races remainNEWPORT, R.I. (UPI) — America's Cup is in Newport to stay, according

to Robert McCullough, commodore of the New York Yacht Club, who scotched rumors the club, sponsor of the prestigious international event, was thinking of going elsewhere.

“The club has developed a very close relationship with Newport over the years and we’d rather stay in Newport than go anywhere else,” McCullough said.

The competition opens in July, con­tinuing through September with 12- m eter yachts from the United States, Sweden, F ran ce , A ustra lia and possibly Great Britain.

July and August trials will be held to select one defender and one foreign challenger to be matched up

in a best-of-seven series off Newport beginning Sept. 13.

King Carl XVI Gustaf and his bride, Silvia, plan to spend part of the sum m er in N ew port w atch ing Sweden's first entry, Sverige, in the international series.

Yacht club officials said Sweden's royal couple will live in a restored windmill a t Hammersmith Farm , former estate of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ stepm other, Mrs. Hugh Auchincloss.

MVD INFO

(]. I’ve been told that batteries can blow up when you "jump, start” a car, with a “dead” battery on cold winter mornings. What is the proper and safe way to “jump start.”

A. Improper “jump star­t in g ” or c a re le ssn ess around a battery can be hazardous to the motorists and can cause damage to the vehicle’s electrical system. It’s also possible, though not too likely, that the battery can explode, which could cause serious eye and skin injuries from flying battery particles and the acid in the battery.

E ach b a tte ry has a “positive” and “ negative” terminal. It is extremely important that these ter­m in a ls a re not m is ­matched from one battery to another when attemp­ting to jump start a vehi­cle. Positive connections are Identified by a red co lo r, ” p ,” or“ POS.” Negative connec­tions can be identified by a black color, "N ,” or “NEG.”

There are a few more things to keep in mind to do th e jo b p ro p e rly and safety;

1. Position the vehicles close enough together so that the jumper cables will reach both batteries, but do not allow the vehicles to touch. While th is may seem lik e a c h ild ish precaution, it is extremely important. If the vehicles to u c h , th e y w i l l be “grounded,” one with the o t h e r . I f c e r t a i n differences exist in the wiring of the two vehicles, ju m p s t a r t i n g w h ile touching could be hazar­dous.

2. Turn off everything tliat is operated electrical­ly, set the parking brakes, and p la c e a u to m a t ic transmission in PARK and manual transm ission in NEUTRAL.

3. Remove end caps from both batteries and cover the openings wiUi a cloth.

4. With Ibe engine off on the nondisabled vehicle, connect one end of a jumper cable (red handle) to the positive terminal of the weak battery, and the other end of the same cable to the positive terminal of the booster battery.

5. Connect the o ther jumper cable (black han­dle) to the negative ter­m in a l of th e b o o s te r b a tte ry and then to a ground on the disabled vehicle such as the engine block. DO NOT connect this cable to the negative post of the disabled car because an ex cessiv e charging ra te re leases hydrogen gas, and when there is insufficient ven­tilation around the battery, a spark can ignite this gas.

8. Start the engine of the vehicle with the booster battery and turn on the ig­nition of the disabled vehi­cle.

7. When the disabled vehiqje’s engine s ta rts , reverse the procedure to disconnect the jumpers.

R em em ber, hydrogen gas which is lighter than air and highly explosive, is com m only d isch arg ed from the recently dead and now suddenly charging battery. For this reason, k6ep any sparks or open flames from the area, and DO NOT SMOKE.

If for some reason you get battery acid in your eyes or on your skin, im­mediately flush with water. For your eyes, seek medical help as soon as possible and continue to flush with water for at least 15 minutes, or until medical help arrives. Keep wet-charge batteries and acid out of the reach of chiidren.

Dear AbbyBy Abigail Van Buren

the father who molestedhis daughter has given me the courage to write.

Quite a few years ago, when m y ^ u g h te r was 12. I leariwd that her fa^ er had been bothering her. (She

happened over severalW in'tK 'ofephiy. w t I felt It wouldlead to the final act sooner or later.

Iconfronted her father, and he admitted it. I told him he was si^, and he had to either see a doctor or leave. He

any ton^r*** * “ y- h® ia not with us

I should h ave reaUzed something was wrong soonerhfm w«nted to be left Mone w ith 'him. She Iniggea to go with me everywhere I went.

My daughter feels thpt I did the right thing In giving her my _ doctor told me I

door.I would like your comments on this.

NO NAME, NO CITY

DEAR NO: I th ink you handled it exactly right. I dlsapee with your doctor. Your husband ia SICK! Ajid for you to have let It go," or simply put a lock on your djiughters door, instead of InsIsUng that your h u a ^ either g *t help or get out, would have made you as goOty •• he, had his molesting continued.

DEAR A BBY: My husband and I ju st returned from Laa VegaS’ where we married off our 17-year-oId daughter to h®r boyfrl®nd of two years. (No, she’s not pregnant.)

Our daughter had been the ward of the court for two ^ S “*® f^® ,'’®P«*ledly run away from home,

one had been placed m I don t know how many places, but ®he manag®d to escape from all of them.

The court released her to marry because they ran out of places to put her.

My question; Should I give her a reception, send out marriage announcements or ju st forget it?

MOTIffiR OF THE BRID E

DEAR MOTHER: Disregard her hectic record and treat her as you would a loving daughter who had Just married. But consult her first.

DEAR ABBY; How would you define old age?GETTING TH ERE

DEAR GETTING: To recycle an old cliche, old age, like beauty, Ues in the mind of the beholder.

But I would say that you’ve reached it when;You need your glasses to find your glasses.

Here is a hand (hat decided a team m atch when the declarer at one table and a defender at the other went wrong.

Both South playqj’s arrived at the normal thiree-notnimp contract. Both Wests opened the seven of spades and both declarers won with the jack.

At table one South promptly planked down the queen of clubs. West played low and East was in with the king. East led his last spade to clear the suit and declarer could only come to eight tricks.

Priacllla’s Pop — Al Varmoer

At the oUier table SouUi led his jack of hearts to dummy’s queen and played Uie deuce of clubs. East played low and South’s queen took care of West’s ace. This' left West with no way to bring home his last two spades. South ran off with his game contract with Uiree diamonds and two tricks in each of the other suits.

East criUcized his partner’s opening lead and it is quite trae that if West had open^ any suit except spades SouUi’s contract would almost surely have wound up in the ashcan, but East was the real culprit. Ail he had to do was to hop up with his king of clubs when the suit was led and knock out Uie ace of spades while West was sUIl in control of the club suit.

Here is another quesUon about a revoke. This reader wants to know if Uic .lenalty must be claimed at the first opportunity.

The answer is Uiat it may be claimed at any Ume before Uie score for Uie hand has been agreed on. On Uie oUier hand, it is best to establish your claim immediately since otherwise there may be an argument about wheUier or not a revoke has actually been committed.
