It’s a terrifyingly serious question these days, with several giant corporations in deep financial trouble, a number of them with huge pension obligations that are hundreds of millions of dollars larger than their pension plan assets. Some rough facts to ponder: • Chrysler had $1.2 billion in unfunded pension liabilities at the end of 1980; International Harvester had $1 billion; Bethlehem Steel, $420 million; Braniff International, $138 million. • There are ^0 billion in unfunded vested liabilities in pension plans insured by the federal government, es- timates the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., created by Congress in 1974 to insure private industry pension plans. • Of this $20 billion in underfunding, an enormous $3 billion is in plans of companies now going through severe business hardship.

Your Money's Worth Sylvia Porter sured against termination by PbGC. But due to a rising number of pension plan ter- minations, the government insurance plan is running at a deficit — which could reach $236 million by year-end 1982 if nothing is done. . . In the past four and a half years, net claims against the PBGC’s insurance fund have increased to an annual level of $62.3 million,, against $24.7 million annually during the first two and a half years the insurance program was in existence. As initially planned, in- surance claims against the PBGC were supposed to be covered primarily by the annual premium paid by employers. Originally, this was $1 per employee partici- pant; it went to ^.60 per participant five years ago; now PBGC’s executive director, Edwin M. Jones, is requesting Congress raise it to $6 per participant. But even the premium rate won’t pay off Uie deficit and cover rising net claims unless loopholes in the guaranty legislation are plugged. One of the worst loopholes tdmpts a company with targe unfunded liabilities to terminate its pension plans or sell the business to a weak buyer, to avoid liability for the un- funded obligations. Under today’s law, PBGC can recover no more than 30 percent of the net worth of a corporate pension plan sponsor. For a company in deep trouble with a low net worth,, getting rid of hundreds of millions of dollars in unfunded V pension liabilities may appear an attractive option'. ’The situation is worse if the acquiring company does not have net worth that PBGC can recover.' A bill pending in Congress would close that “ transfer loophole” by continuing the liability of the company that originally sponsored the pension plan if the plan is ter- minated within 15 years of transfer to a new sponsor. Another proposal would make it more difficult for an eniployer to trigger the insurance coverage by .ter- minating the plan. Under this proposal, the insurance would be triggered only if the sponsoring employer goes out of business, not simply when the pension plan is terr nlinaled. ’The PBGC’s deficit must be wiped out to put the in- surance plan back on a pay-as-you-go basis and the in- ' excusable loopholes in the law must be plugged. A $6 ' employer-paid premium is reasonable. For the long range, the possibility that some-major ; corporations, with large unfunded pension obligations ; might terminate their plans is a major worry. If the - steps proposed are taken, extraordbiarily large new . claims could be handled by using assets of a plan being : terminated — while the government constructs a new salvage plan. To meet an emergency, the agency has. authority to borrow up to $100 million from the ’Treasury. “i As for you and your insured pension, for your own^ sake look hard at what you have.

Today that same share of stock is worth $11,000 in what has become one of America’s greatest business 'success stories. The syrupy liquid that flowed from the Atlanta-based company turned into billions of dollars and fortunes for thousands of investors. Through the years the stock of the conservative Southern firm also has come to mean more than just a holding in a beverage company. Today, Coke is wine, orange juice, tea, coffee, plastics and feiod products. Most recently. Coke’s business tentacles reached to Hollywood with the well- publicized purchase of Columbia Pic- tures. The backdoor operation begun with a secret formula has spread through 145 countries. Few places in the world are without the familiar red Coke signs. Coke is the same, yet very different from the dream launched by founder John Pemberton in 1886 and fostered by such strong leaders as Asa Candler and Robert Woodruff. IN THE MIDST of its takeover of Columbia earlier this year. Coke felt it was necessary to re-emphasize to its stockholders and the world that the business of making a sweet-tasting drink is still the main business of the Atlanta- based firm. With an advertising campaign based on the slogan “Coke Is It,” the leaders of Coke were carrying that message. “ We said; ‘W e’re going to be going into other industries, so let’s get a campaign that reemphasizes that we’re a softdrink company,” said Cuban-born Roberto Gohueta, who assumed the leadership of Coke in 1981 and engineered the purchase of Columbia for $700 million. Coke’s sale of the “ pleasing, sweet tasting liquid” and its balance sheet that in 1981 showed earnings of $484 million has been the envy of the business world for years. The purchase of Columbia was a well- designed plan for diversification that began in the 1960s. Goizueta said he couldn’t understand the surprise at the purchase of the movie company. “ While it may have been a surprise to the outside world, I will have to say I think the surprise was because a com- pany did what it said it was going to do,” said Goizueta in an interview from the company’s high-rise headquarters in Atlanta. . “ I dare anybody to mention an in- dustry that meshes better with the business of the CocaCola company than entertainment,” Goizueta said. “ We have always bieen on the fringes (of the UP) photo ROBERTO GOIZUETA IS PRESIDENT OF COCA-COLA . . . he engineered purchase of Columbia Pictures entertainment business). We produce a lot of one-minute television programs called commercials. So, we feel very comfortable with this industry.” GOIZUETA SAID the purchase of Columbia and other diversificatloh moves are needed to protect Opke against the “ windstorms” of depression, inflation and recession. Coke began its diversifying in the 1960s with the purchase of the -Minute Maid Corp. and followed up in 1964 by merging with Duncan Foods Co. In 1969 the firm purchased a processed water firm and in 1977 bought Taylor Wine Co. Later that same year, the company bought Sterling Vinyards and the Monterey Vineyard. In the 1950s and 1960s the company also moved into the flavored soda field with its line of Fanta drinks and forged into the sugarless drink line with Tab and Fresca. Earlier this year. Coke sought to cap- ture the lion’s share of the sugarless drink market with a new brand called “ Diet Ckike.” With the launching of “ Diet Coke” the firm was looking to exploit its well-known trademark. “The diet market is growing so fast. I think there is room for two entries from the Coca-Cola company,” Goizueta said while taking an admiring glance at his new product sitting on his desk. | He said, however, that diversification is not enough. “ By maintaining a strong balance sheet you can withstand the buffeting of poor economic conditions,” he said. “That is the one thing the Coca-Cola Company has always maintained — a financial position which allows it to withstand bad economic conditions. “LOOK AT HOW many businesses are entering Chapter 11 bankruptcy because they are so highly leveraged. ’They have borrowed so much money — and all of a sudden they have this tremendous burden of interest payments. Our debt to equity ratio is something like eight, nine percent — compared to other companies which are 50,” he said. Goizueta said Coca-Cola in thq 1960s must seek ways to increase its earnings in the United States because of the “vagaries” of the dollar in foreign coun- tries. “The Columbia acquisition is a perfectly good example. It will bring a very solid earnings base in U.S. dollars to our company. 'The profits of Columbia are not subject to the vagaries such as profits in Mexico, for example;” ' • Goizueta said. 4 “For example, in February Mexico ; devalued its currency by 50 percent. So right off the bat, from one day to the next, our profits were cut in half.” Coke currently gets about 63 percent of its earnings ffrom foreign countries. He hopes to get that down to 50 percent. THE COCA-COLA company ranks- . 56th in net sales among American inr ; dustrial corporations. ’The ranking ; Goizueta feels is more imnortant L measures net earnings. There, (kica- • Cola stood 39th in 1980. Coca-Cola is a business legend. “I’m in' favor of legends, and par- ticularly the Coca-Cola legend,” says. Goizueta. “However, I‘m even more in. ^ favor of the Coca-Cola ledger which ; shows growing profits and above- ; average return to our shareholders.” “No matter what you say, the world I has a sweet tooth — Coca-Cola Is- something that tastes good— it is kind of pleasing.” Goizueta also attributes success to a sharing of the wealth policy. “We are very careful that the profits are split properly — that we don’t take the lion’s share of the profits. In my opi- nion, that is the basic r.eason why we have been so successful,” says toe man who answered a help wanted ad in a Hiavana newspaper for a chemist ancj climbed through toe ranks to toe top position at Coke. IT ALL BEGAN, this prototype of toe “American dream,” when Pemberton perfected toe syrup that Includes in its ingredients toe coca leaf anjl toe kola nut. It’s not known If Peipberton meant toe new drink as a tonic or a medicine, but on May 8, 1886, toe first drink was- bought in Atlanta. 'The company was off and running. '' Pemberton took on four partners to market bis invention. One of them, Frank Robinson, decided to spell kola with a C to nnake It lotric better in ddver-^ tisements. - [ Legend has it that bookkeeper Robin-^ son sat down in toe backyard of an Atlan-' ta home and drew out the famous, trademark in Spencerian script in vir-, tually toe same style as it appears today.* Public Records Consolidated Cigar sole plan falls through Joins chamber ’The Carvel Ice Cream Supermarket at 335 Center St., Manchester, has Joined the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce. The shop run by Yuan-Yuan Chien, has been in business for four months. Chien makes and sells a variety of ice cream prpuucts, including soft and hard ice cream, frozen'diet ice cream, sherbet, frozen novelties and ice cream cakes. GLASTONBURY (VPD - No one is saying why, but a pending $105 million sale of (kmsolidated Cigar Co., Connec- ticut’s leading tobacco grower, to a New York-firm, has been called off. MacAndrews and Forbes Group Inc. last April announced an agreement in principal to buy (kinsoiidated from Gulf it Western Industries Inc. of New York. Negotiations have since broken down over terms of toe sale and spokesmen for both companies refused to discuss toe reasons. WilUam A. Blodgett, Gulf it Western’s vice president for corporate com- municatloos, said Friday no negotiations are schedule with other buyers. Gulf & Western said in April toe sale was proposed to streamlim toe cor- porations operations. It allowed Gulf & Western to keep a 50 percent interest in Consolidated's foreign operations, about one-third of its assests. Consolidated Cigar, the nation’s leadi^ cigar maker until this year, has 17 farms akmg toe Connecticut River Valley in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Gulf & Western bought Consolidated in 1968. It has interests in leisure-time ac- tivities, financial services, natural resources and in consumer, building and food products. MacAndrews and Forbes is toe world’s principal supplier of licorice extract and a major manufacturer of chocolate. Licorice extract is used to flavor tuid moisten tobacco. Consolidated reduced its shade tobac- co production this year from 1,660 acres to 200 acres, while increasing its broad- leaf tobacco production from. 200 to 500 acres. It aim cut back on summer employees from 4,700 last year to 5 0 0 '^ year. Tobacco production in toe Connecticut River Valley has been declining for *30 years, since cigar makers began using synthetic materials to make cigar wrappers. ' Stan Knecht, executive director of toe Connecticut Farm Bureau said there were 17,100 acres of tobacco growing in toe valley in 1963, but only 2;730 a < ^ planted this year.

U.S.-owne<d firm breaks embargo UPI photo UNION LEADERS OF DRESSER FRANCE ANNOUNCE RESUMPTION OF SALES . . . firm will continue to supply materials for Soviet pipeline Inflation moderates; annual LE HAVRE^ France (UPI) - The American-owned firm' Dresser France today bowed to French pressure in the showdown over the Soviet natural gas pipeline and resumed production of its giant compressors, union spokesmen said today. Dresser also agreed to load three 60-ton compressors onto a Soviet- bound freighter, the spokesmen said. It was the first move by an American firm defying President Reagan’s embargo on parts shipments by U.S. firms and their subsidiaries for construction of .the mammoth Soviet pipeline to Western Europe. The sanctions were imposed to protest martiai law in Poland. Leftist unions had scheduied a ral- iy for today in front of the Dresser plant in Le Havre, where a Soviet freighter is waiting to load the three 60-ton compressers built by the Dallas-based firm under a $16 million contract. “ A management representative,” one labor union spokesman said, .“ informed us this morning that work on the compressors was being resumed.” The union spokesmen said the three compressors already have been moved out of the Dresser plant to storage in Le Havre harbor. They will be loaded shortly into the Soviet freighter Borodin, bound for Riga on the Baltic ^ea. Dresser France management refused immediate comment, but was expected to publish a statement later in the day. In Washington, Dresser asked a U.S. district court to rule on which country’s law it has to comply with and to bar the Reagan administra- tion from punishing the firm if it bows to the French order based on a 1938 law. “ We’re between a rock and a hard place,” said Edward R. Luter, a senior vice president of Dresser In- dustries Inc. President Reagan believes the pipeline would make western Europe too dependent on the Soviet Union for its energy needs and would reward the Soviets with needed hard currency at a time when Poland is suffering under Soviet-backed martial law. Dresser France, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dresser Industries of Dallas, was ordered by the govern- ment of President Francois Mitterrand to deliver three com- pressors that were built before Reagan imposed sanctions against the Soviet pipeline June 18.

Prime Minister Menachem Begin, however, warned that Israel was ready to strike back if attacked by Syria or Jordan. “ We have no intention of attacking Syria or Jordan, but if we are attacked we will attack,” Israel radio quoted Begin - ‘"The stage of war is over, but I don’t in- tend to be interpreted as saying there is no other possibility,” he said.

Following the election Monday of Gemayel, a Christian militia leader backed by Israel, Palestinian officials privately expressed concern about the safety of 120,000 refugees left behind in Beirut. On Monday, guerrilla chief Yasser Arafat urged Palestinians sailing from Beirut to continue their struggle for a homeland and one of his top military aides defiantly vowed “ to liberate Palestine” with stepped up terrorist attacks. “ The world will see, in the very near future, actions in toe occupied territories that will make Begin’s hair stand on end,” said Salah Khalaf, toe No. 2 man in Arafat’s A1 Fatah force. Home-loan rate drops By Denis G. Gulino United Press International Dropping interest rates have “ thrown a life jacket” to frustrated potential homebuyers and are bringing smiles and frantic trading to Wall Street. Both the Federal Housing Authority home mortgage loans and the Veterans Administration guaranteed housing loans drop to 14 percent today, the lowest rate in 16 months, the Department of Housing and Urban Development said. Continuing declines in other interest rates, most notably the prime rate, rolled the stock market’s summer rally into high gear Monday. The Dow Jones in- dustrial average soared 21,88 points to an,(eight-month high on 110.3 million shares, the second busiest session' ' . in Wall Street’s history. Acting HUD Secretary Donald Hovdu said Monday the 1 percent drop in the FHA home loan rate “ is good news not only for the housing industry but for many American families which have been kept out of the home-buying market. While we’re not out of the woods yet, we cer- tainly are headed in the right direction.” The government-subsidized rates; which apply to about 11 percent of mortgage loans, usually are available about 1 percentage point cheaper than com- mercial mortgage loans, which have dipped to 15 per- cent in parts of the country. “The markets have thrown a life jacket to home buyers and sellers who have been under water for months,” said Mark Riedy, executive vice president of the Mortgage Bankers Associatidn, representing 1,9(X) lending institutions. The new mortgage rate, the lowest since April 13 last year, is “ a threshold number that should bring a steady stream of home buyers back into the market.” said Riedy, whose association represents mortgage lenders But Jay Shackford, spokesman for the National Association of Home Builders, the largest construction trade group, said toe latest decline in rates is good news, but will not spark a surge in home buying by itself. “ We’re hopeful that the trend continues. Obviously that’s going to be good for housing. But we don’t expect any bounce back. The economy is too weak at this stage.” On Wall Street, institutional investors, fearful of mis- sing a major move, continued to dominate the emotion- packed trading. But analysts said there were signs the little guy was beginning to buy as the paper value of all New York Stock Exchange issues increased by $25.6 billiqn Monday. State asl^©d t^iprobe Laurel Center case By Raymon4 T. DeMeo ' Herald Reponer TTie town'! director ot health has asked an official firom the state’s Oqiartihent of Aging to investigate the case of an elderly resident of [^niel'Uring Center who wande^ from the facility Wednesday and held up traffic at a busy Utmection across tourn.

POLICE RESPONDED to a report that the woman was walking in the patil of traffic near Broad and HiUiard streets. The woman reportedly resisted a police officer’s attempts to take her into custody, telUng the officer that tee was going' to w d k te Poland and Utlmania. The woman is Uthttanian-born. The woman was returned to Laur^ by amhulance at ' 5 p.m. Police said she had been away from the facility for four hours; Ttototoy (tenway, Laurel’s administrator, said he way gone for only an hour apd a half. Jaiequellne Walker, chief om- hudhroan for the Department of Aging; said the department’s regional ombudsman will ask Laurel adniinistrator for a report on the in- cident “to see what the story was.” Mm said obtaining such A rqiort is routine iwocedure in respmse to an outside compIainL Mie added tiut “it is not unique” for older persons to become lost and trips to and from A rest homes. IRENE DIPACE, a certification administrator for toe state Depart- ment of Health, said rest homes are not “locked wards. There is a move- ment afoot to make individuals func- tionally as mobile as possible . . . sometimes, this can cause problems in a community. “ But if a person is confused or dis- oriented, or can cause harm to others or to themselves, then these people should not be allowed to be wandering around,” she said. State health edde regulations state that licensed health care facilities may house people with "manageable psychiatric con- ditions.” But toe regulations forbid them to house “person who is physically and mentally incapable of making his own way without assistance to a place of safety out- side the building.” Laurel Living Ctenter is licensed as a home for toe aged. Unlike con- valescent homes, homes for toe aged are not required to employ nurses to care for their residents. Residents are assumed to be capable of taking care of themselves. In the opinion of Laurel ad- ministrator Oinway, toe woman in- volved in 'Wednesday’s incidept doesn’t fit toe latter descriptim. - “She knows where she wants to go and goes there,” he said. ;; TTie woman’s grand-niece, w|o, lives in Manchester, said her relative has “walked all over toiftn for 40 years.

What happens to your pension payments or future pen­sion rights if the company you work for goes broke or finds some other iegaily permissible reason for ter­minating your pension plan?

It ’s a terrifyingly serious question these days, with several giant corporations in deep financial trouble, a number of them with huge pension obligations that are hundreds of millions of dollars larger than their pension plan assets. Some rough facts to ponder:

• Chrysler had $1.2 billion in unfunded pension liabilities at the end of 1980; International Harvester had $1 billion; Bethlehem Steel, $420 million; Braniff International, $138 million.

• There are ^ 0 billion in unfunded vested liabilities in pension plans insured by the federal government, es­timates the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., created by Congress in 1974 to insure private industry pension plans.

• Of this $20 billion in underfunding, an enormous $3 billion is in plans of companies now going through severe business hardship.

If you work for a corporation, the odds are your pen­sion plan is covered by government insurance. There now are about 28 million people working for more than 90.000 companies with single employer pension plans in-

sured against termination by PbGC.But due to a rising number of pension plan ter­

minations, the government insurance plan is running at a deficit — which could reach $236 million by year-end 1982 if nothing is done. . .

In the past four and a half years, net claims against the PBGC’s insurance fund have increased to an annual level of $62.3 million,, against $24.7 million annually during the first two and a half years the insurance program was in existence. As initially planned, in­surance claims against the PBGC were supposed to be covered primarily by the annual premium paid by employers. Originally, this was $1 per employee partici­

pant; it went to .60 per participant five years ago; now PBG C ’s executive director, Edwin M. Jones, is requesting Congress raise it to $6 per participant.

But even the premium rate won’t pay o ff Uie deficit and cover rising net claims unless loopholes in the guaranty legislation are plugged. One of the worst loopholes tdmpts a company with targe unfunded liabilities to terminate its pension plans or sell the business to a weak buyer, to avoid liability for the un­funded obligations. Under today’s law, PBGC can recover no more than 30 percent of the net worth o f a corporate pension plan sponsor.

For a company in deep trouble with a low net w orth ,, getting rid of hundreds of millions of dollars in unfunded V pension liabilities may appear an attractive option'. ’The situation is worse if the acquiring company does not have net worth that PBGC can recover.'

A bill pending in Congress would close that “ transfer loophole” by continuing the liability o f the company that originally sponsored the pension plan if the plan is ter­minated within 15 years of transfer to a new sponsor.

Another proposal would make it more difficult for an eniployer to trigger the insurance coverage by .ter­minating the plan. Under this proposal, the insurance would be triggered only if the sponsoring employer goes

out of business, not simply when the pension plan is terr nlinaled.

’The PBGC’s deficit must be wiped out to put the in­surance plan back on a pay-as-you-go basis and the in- ' excusable loopholes in the law must be plugged. A $6 ' employer-paid premium is reasonable.

For the long range, the possibility that some-major ; corporations, with large unfunded pension obligations ; might terminate their plans is a major worry. If the - steps proposed are taken, extraordbiarily large new . claims could be handled by using assets of a plan being : terminated — while the government constructs a new salvage plan. To meet an emergency, the agency has. authority to borrow up to $100 million from the ’Treasury. “i

As for you and your insured pension, for your own^ sake look hard at what you have. Our protections are'^ being unraveled at a stunning rate.

Coca-ColaColumbia purchase only part of beverage firm's success story

ATLANTA (U P I) - When the Coca- Cola company went public in 1919, a share of its stock sold for $40. Today that same share of stock is worth $11,000 in what has become one of Am erica’s greatest business 'success stories.

The syrupy liquid that flowed from the Atlanta-based company turned into billions o f dollars and fortunes for thousands of investors. Through the years the stock of the conservative Southern firm also has come to mean more than just a holding in a beverage company.

Today, Coke is wine, orange juice, tea, coffee, plastics and feiod products. Most recently. Coke’s business tentacles reached to Hollywood with the well- publicized purchase of Columbia P ic­tures.

The backdoor operation begun with a secret formula has spread through 145 countries. Few places in the world are without the familiar red Coke signs.

Coke is the same, yet very different from the dream launched by founder John Pemberton in 1886 and fostered by such strong leaders as Asa Candler and Robert Woodruff.

IN TH E M ID ST of its takeover of Columbia earlier this year. Coke felt it was necessary to re-emphasize to its stockholders and the world that the business of making a sweet-tasting drink is still the main business of the Atlanta- based firm.

With an advertising campaign based on the slogan “Coke Is It,” the leaders of Coke were carrying that message.

“ We said; ‘W e’re going to be going into other industries, so let’s get a campaign that reemphasizes that we’re a softdrink company,” said Cuban-born Roberto Gohueta, who assumed the leadership of Coke in 1981 and engineered the purchase of Columbia for $700 million.

Coke’s sale of the “ pleasing, sweet tasting liquid” and its balance sheet that in 1981 showed earnings of $484 million has been the envy of the business world for years.

The purchase of Columbia was a well- designed plan for diversification that began in the 1960s. Goizueta said he couldn’t understand the surprise at the purchase of the movie company.

“ While it may have been a surprise to the outside world, I w ill have to say I think the surprise was because a com­pany did what it said it was going to do,” said Goizueta in an interview from the company’s high-rise headquarters in Atlanta. .

“ I dare anybody to mention an in­dustry that meshes better with the business of the CocaCola company than entertainment,” Goizueta said. “ We have always bieen on the fringes (o f the

UP) photo

ROBERTO GOIZUETA IS PRESIDENT OF CO CA -CO LA . . . he engineered purchase of Columbia Pictures

entertainment business). We produce a lot of one-minute television programs called commercials. So, we feel very comfortable with this industry.”

G O IZU ETA SAID the purchase of Columbia and other d iversificatloh moves are needed to protect Opke against the “ windstorms” of depression, inflation and recession.

Coke began its diversifying in the 1960s with the purchase of the -Minute Maid Corp. and followed up in 1964 by merging with Duncan Foods Co. In 1969 the firm purchased a processed water firm and in 1977 bought Taylor Wine Co. Later that same year, the company bought Sterling Vinyards and the Monterey Vineyard.

In the 1950s and 1960s the company also moved into the flavored soda field with its line of Fanta drinks and forged into the sugarless drink line with Tab and Fresca.

Earlier this year. Coke sought to cap­ture the lion’s share of the sugarless drink market with a new brand called “ Diet Ckike.” With the launching of “ Diet Coke” the firm was looking to exploit its well-known trademark.

“ The diet market is growing so fast. I think there is room for two entries from the Coca-Cola company,” Goizueta said while taking an admiring glance at his new product sitting on his desk. |

He said, however, that diversification

is not enough.“ By maintaining a strong balance

sheet you can withstand the buffeting of poor economic conditions,” he said. “That is the one thing the Coca-Cola Company has always maintained — a financial position which allows it to withstand bad economic conditions.

“ LO O K AT H O W many businesses are entering Chapter 11 bankruptcy because they are so highly leveraged. ’They have borrowed so much money — and all of a sudden they have this trem endous burden of interest payments. Our debt to equity ratio is something like eight, nine percent — compared to other companies which are 50,” he said.

Goizueta said Coca-Cola in thq 1960s must seek ways to increase its earnings in the United States because of the “vagaries” of the dollar in foreign coun­tries.

“ The Columbia acquisition is a perfectly good example. It will bring a

very solid earnings base in U.S. dollars to our company. 'The profits of Columbia are not subject to the vagaries such as profits in Mexico, for exam ple;” ' • Goizueta said. 4

“For example, in February Mexico ; devalued its currency by 50 percent. So right off the bat, from one day to the next, our profits were cut in half.”

Coke currently gets about 63 percent of its earnings ffrom foreign countries. He hopes to get that down to 50 percent.

THE COCA-COLA company ranks- . 56th in net sales among American inr ; dustrial corporations. ’The ranking ; Goizueta feels is more imnortant L measures net earnings. There, (kica- • Cola stood 39th in 1980.

Coca-Cola is a business legend.“I’m in' favor of legends, and par­

ticularly the Coca-Cola legend,” says. Goizueta. “However, I ‘m even more in. favor of the Coca-Cola ledger which ; shows growing profits and above- ; average return to our shareholders.”

“No matter what you say, the world I has a sweet tooth — Coca-Cola Is- something that tastes good— it is kind of pleasing.”

Goizueta also attributes success to a sharing of the wealth policy.

“We are very careful that the profits are split properly — that we don’t take the lion’s share of the profits. In my opi­nion, that is the basic r.eason why we have been so successful,” says toe man who answered a help wanted ad in a Hiavana newspaper for a chemist ancj climbed through toe ranks to toe top position at Coke.

GLASTONBURY (VPD - No one is saying why, but a pending $105 million sale of (kmsolidated Cigar Co., Connec­ticut’s leading tobacco grower, to a New York-firm, has been called off.

MacAndrews and Forbes Group Inc. last April announced an agreement in principal to buy (kinsoiidated from Gulf it Western Industries Inc. of New York.

Negotiations have since broken down over terms of toe sale and spokesmen for both companies refused to discuss toe reasons.

WilUam A. Blodgett, Gulf it Western’s vice president for corporate com- municatloos, said Friday no negotiations are schedule with other buyers.

Gulf & Western said in April toe sale was proposed to streamlim toe cor­porations operations. It allowed Gulf & Western to keep a 50 percent interest in Consolidated's foreign operations, about one-third of its assests.

Consolidated Cigar, the nation’s le ad i^ cigar maker until this year, has 17 farms akmg toe Connecticut River V a l le y in C o n n ecticu t and Massachusetts.

UNION LEADERS OF DRESSER FRANCE ANNOUNCE RESUMPTION OF SALES . . . firm will continue to supply materials for Soviet pipeline

Inflation moderates; annual

LE HAVRE^ France (U P I) - The Am erican-owned firm ' D resser France today bowed to French pressure in the showdown over the Soviet natural gas pipeline and resumed production of its giant compressors, union spokesmen said today.

Dresser also agreed to load three 60-ton compressors onto a Soviet- bound freighter, the spokesmen said.

It was the first move by an American firm defying President R e a g a n ’ s e m b a rgo on p a rts shipments by U.S. firms and their subsidiaries for construction of .the m am m oth S ov ie t p ip e lin e to Western Europe. The sanctions were imposed to protest martiai law in Poland.

Leftist unions had scheduied a ral- iy for today in front of the Dresser plant in Le Havre, where a Soviet

freighter is waiting to load the three 60-ton compressers built by the Dallas-based firm under a $16 million contract.

“ A management representative,” one labor union spokesman said, .“ informed us this morning that work on the compressors was being resumed.”

The union spokesmen said the three compressors already have been moved out of the Dresser plant to storage in Le Havre harbor. They will be loaded shortly into the Soviet freighter Borodin, bound for Riga on the Baltic ^ea.

D resser France management refused immediate comment, but was expected to publish a statement later in the day.

In Washington, Dresser asked a U.S. district court to rule on which country’s law it has to comply with and to bar the Reagan administra­

tion from punishing the firm if it bows to the French order based on a 1938 law.

“ We’re between a rock and a hard place,” said Edward R. Luter, a senior vice president of Dresser In­dustries Inc.

President Reagan believes the p ipe lin e would m ake w estern Europe too dependent on the Soviet Union for its energy needs and would reward the Soviets with needed hard currency at a time when Poland is suffering under Soviet-backed martial law.

Dresser France, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dresser Industries of Dallas, was ordered by the govern­m ent o f P r e s id e n t F ra n co is Mitterrand to deliver three com­pressors that were built before Reagan imposed sanctions against the Soviet pipeline June 18.

Home-loan rate dropsBy Denis G. Gulino United Press International

Dropping interest rates have “ thrown a life jacket” to frustrated potential homebuyers and are bringing smiles and frantic trading to Wall Street.

Both the Federal Housing Authority home mortgage loans and the Veterans Administration guaranteed housing loans drop to 14 percent today, the lowest rate in 16 months, the Department of Housing and Urban Development said.

Continuing declines in other interest rates, most notably the prime rate, rolled the stock market’s summer rally into high gear Monday. The Dow Jones in- dustrial average soared 21,88 points to an ,(eight-month high on 110.3 million shares, the second busiest session' ' . in Wall Street’s history.

Acting HUD Secretary Donald Hovdu said Monday the 1 percent drop in the FHA home loan rate “ is good news not only for the housing industry but for many American families which have been kept out of the home-buying market. While w e ’re not out of the woods yet, we cer­tainly are headed in the right direction.”

The government-subsidized rates; which apply to about 11 percent of mortgage loans, usually are available about 1 percentage point cheaper than com­mercial mortgage loans, which have dipped to 15 per­cent in parts of the country.

“ The markets have thrown a life jacket to home buyers and sellers who have been under water for months,” said Mark Riedy, executive vice president of the Mortgage Bankers Associatidn, representing 1,9(X) lending institutions.

The new mortgage rate, the lowest since April 13 last year, is “ a threshold number that should bring a steady stream of home buyers back into the market.” said Riedy, whose association represents mortgage lenders

But Jay Shackford, spokesman for the National Association o f Home Builders, the largest construction trade group, said toe latest decline in rates is good news, but w ill not spark a surge in home buying by itself.

“ W e’re hopeful that the trend continues. Obviously that’s going to be good for housing. But we don’t expect any bounce back. The economy is too weak at this stage.”

On Wall Street, institutional investors, fearful of mis­sing a major move, continued to dominate the emotion- packed trading. But analysts said there were signs the little guy was beginning to buy as the paper value of all New York Stock Exchange issues increased by $25.6 billiqn Monday.

State asl^©d t^iprobe Laurel Center caseBy Raymon4 T. DeMeo ' Herald Reponer

TTie town'! director ot health has asked an official firom the state’s Oqiartihent of Aging to investigate the case of an elderly resident of [^n iel'U ring Center who w a n d e ^ from the facility Wednesday and held up traffic at a busy Utmection across tourn.

Wednesday’s incidoit) she sounds as if she would need <me (a psy­chiatrist),” Dt; Turek said.

PO L IC E RESPO NDED to a report that the woman was walking in the patil of traffic near Broad and H iU iard streets. The woman reportedly resisted a police officer’s attempts to take her into custody, telUng the officer that tee was going' to w d k t e Poland and Utlmania. The woman is Uthttanian-born.

The woman was returned to Laur^ by amhulance at ' 5 p.m.

Police said she had been away from the facility for four hours; Ttototoy (tenway, Laurel’s administrator, said he way gone for only an hour apd a half.

Jaiequellne Walker, chief om- hudhroan for the Department of Aging; said the departm ent’s regional ombudsman will ask Laurel adniinistrator for a report on the in­cident “to see what the story was.”

“But if a person is confused or dis­oriented, or can cause harm to others or to themselves, then these people should not be allowed to be wandering around,” she said.

NewsGroup protests NU shut-offs

NEW BRITAIN (UPI) - ProtMters who claim Northeast tlUliUes is Insen­sitive to needs of the poor say they will bring their case to Gov. W ilU ^ O'Neill if state regulators do not meet their demands.

About three dozen people, organized by the Connecticut Citizen Action Group and the group “Turn to Us,” staged an orderly rally Monday outside the state Department of Public Utility Control of­fices to press their demand.

They sought out DPUC Chairman Thomas H. Fitzpatrick to ask him for regulations to prevent unfair termina­tion of service and called on state agen­cies to fulfill their obligation in providing energy assistance to welfare recipients and needy consumers.

The group, made up mostly of women and some children, made their way to Fitzpatrick's second floor office where they were told by a DPUC spokeswoman he was away on business.

Helen Johnson of Waterbury, chair­man of the CCAG’s state energy com­mittee, left a letter listing five demands by the group.

Warrant asked in slayings

RIDGEFIELD (UPI) - A felony­murder warrant has been requested by police for a 33-year-old Ridgefield man, said to be dangerous and possibly armed, sought in the shotgun slaying of. his parents.

Herbert Hermansdorfer Jr., who worked in the family’s plumbing business for several years but had been unemployed the past month, is the only suspect in the double slaying, Capt. Richard Bellagamba said Monday.

The bodies of H erbert L. Her­mansdorfer, 60, and his wife, Evelyn, were found in their second floor bedroom Sunday afternoon by the youngest of th e ir th ree sons — Bryan H er­mansdorfer, 26, of Danbury. -

The state medical examiner gave few details following autopsies except to say each victim died of a shotgun blast to the head.

Draft resIster goes on trial‘ SAN DIEGO (UPI) - A federal appeals court refused to hear an appeal by draft protester Benjamin H. Sasway, clearing the way for his trial to begin today on charges of failing to register

, with Selective Service.Sasway, 21, of Vista, Calif., the first

man in the nation to be indicted for not registering for the draft in the post- Vietnam era, had based his appeal on grounds the government singled him out for prosecution because of his outspoken views.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Monday it lacked jurisdiction in the case. Sasway will be tried before a U.S. magistrate. .

Attorneys for Sasway, a political science and philosophy student at Hum­boldt State University, had attempted to establish that he was selected for prosecution because of his anti-draft ac­tivities on campus.

66 Kings will close

NEWTON, Mass. (UPI) - KDT In­dustries Inc, has announced the closing . of 66 King’s Department Stores, in­cluding 18 in New England, in an attempt to stem losses that drove the company to seek court protection from creditors un­der federal bankruptcy laws.

The closings, representing more than a third of KDT’s domestic stores, are designed to consolidate inventories and “return to profitability” the financially beleaguered firm’s 115 remaining dis­count stores, the Newton-based firm said Monday.

After falling to secure a line of credit following an |18.9 million first quarter loss, KDT filed for reorganization under

.Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code Aug. 5.

At the time, KDT officials said no stores would close. Monday’s announce-. ment, however, offered no explanation lor the change of mind nor specifics on the number of ’employees affected.

Prior to the closings, the 181 King’s stores employed between 8,000 and 9,000 persons.

He said if Turkish authorities granted" permission an aerial search of the moun­tain would be conducted today by members of the U.S. team led by former astronaut James Irwin who walked on the moon 11 years ago.

“The expedition has revealed solid evidence the aric is lying up there,” Donmez said. “Although I cannot dis­close what we have found, I Can say that it’s pure and solid proof.”

sayoppose Bennet project

Once upon a time

By Paul Hendrie Herald Reporter

Republican directors announced this morning they will vote tonight against the conversion of a Bennet School building to elderly housing.

Instead, they said they will propose selling Uie building for com­mercial development.

The Democrats bold a 6-3 majori­ty on the Board of Directors.

For the first time during this term - of the board, the Republicans issued a minority report on an issue before the board.

Director William J. Diana, a member of the board’s real estate subcommittee, said he now opposes the conversion because the proposed rents would be too high, the nature of the project has changed since it was proposed and because commer­cial use of the building could bring the town tax revenue.

“When we first started to .think about what we were going to do about Bennet, it was rea lty exciting," said Diana. “Right now, I don't think it is feasible to convert Bennet to housing.”

DIANA SAID the p ro jec t originally was presented as a way for the Pension Board to earn a higher return on its investments, by funding the mortgage for the con­struction. But last week, the town’s consultant for the project — the Community Development Corp. — withdrew its application for Pension Board funding.

Diana said that application may have been withdrawn because backers of the project feared the Pension Board would refuse to fund it.

“The rumor I heard from a member of the Pension Board is that they (the Pension Board’s con­sultants) felt it was not a good in­vestment,” said Diana.

Pension Board chairman Fred Geyer and other board members have declined to discuss what advice they have received from their con­sultants.

Diana also said the original scheme called for the Sheltered Workshop to share Bennet with elderly housing. This, he said, would have allowed the workshop to provide some services to the tenants. But the workshop since has moved to Bentley School.

Diana proposed that the building be turned over to the Manchester Board of Realtors, to see if it can se ll it, and th a t a panel of businessmen be created to look at other uses for the building. He suggested, for example, that an in­

surance company might want to open a satellite office there.

DIRECTOR JOAN V. Ungard said there should have been a preliminary study of all possible uses before the decision was made to convert the building to housing.

“We are not opposed to housing for the elderly,” said Minority Leader Peter P. DiRosa Jr. “We are opposed to this project on its

merits.”He said the housing was not

designed for needy elderly, but rather for upper-middle income elderly.

The Republicans tonight will vote against leasing the building to a non­profit Bennet corporation and will vote against establishment of the corporation's by-laws, they said. They e x p e c t a t l e a s t one Democratic defection to their side.

Many seeking tax-credit aid

In letter to Zinsser

Housing Authority bocks state unitThe state Department of Housing ‘

is “essential to the safety and health of our citizens” and Its structure should not be altered, Manchester Housing Authority Chairman Pascal Mastrangelo said in a letter to Sen. Carl A. Zinsser, R-Manchester.

Mastrangelo’s letter, on behalf of the Housing A uthority , was prompted by a ’’sunset” hearing on the Housing Department scheduled for today by the Legislative Program Review and Investigations

Committee, which Zinnser co­chairs.

Zinsser said today’s hearing marks the first time a state depart­ment has come up for a sunset hearing. Earlier hearings looked at commissions boards and individual programs.

Under "sunset” statutes, agencies must be renewed by the Legislature every five years or they cease to exist.

Mastrangelo’s letter said the Housing Department has been im­portant to tenants of the Housing A uthority ’s e lderly housing projects. He said the department’s help allowed tenants to move into a new project on Pascal Lane on June 1, Instead of in September as scheduled.

Mastrangelo said the Housing Department is especially important now, because high rents have made-

it tough for the elderly and poor to find homes.

His letter asked Zinsser to “give your support in keeping the Depart­ment of Housing a separate department.”

Zinsser said Mastrangelo’s letter would be read into the record at today’s hearing.

Zinsser got his start in politics as a member of the Manchester Housing Authority.

By Nancy Thompson Herald Reporter ,

Virtually every community group in Manchester is trying to get in on a new state program which would give businesses tax credits for donations.

T w enty -seven M anchester organizations — with projects totalling 85.3 million — are asking to be put on a list of groups Whose con­tributors would receive tax credits. However, only 81 million in tax credits is available statewide.

The requests range from 83.9 million for the Manchester Regional Performing Arts Center to 8500 to purchase a joiner-planer for the senior citizens’ center hobby shop.

Conspicuously absent from the list is the fund drive to restore Cheney Hail.

A public hearing will be held on the requests tonight at 8 in the Lin­coln (Center Board of Directors' room as part of the directors’ meeting.

Under the new law — which gives businesses 50 to 70 percent tax credits for donations to eligible non­profit groups and programs— towns must submit a list of groups it proposes be included to the state by Sept. 1.

At a new conference last week, Hanna Harcus, town director of Human Services, asked groups to submit their requests to her depart­ment by Aug. 20. In a memo to the Board of Directors dated Aug. 19, Mrs. Marcus listed the 27 groups and their requests.

Mrs. Marcus said in the memo, “It should bb noted that the legisla­tion provides for a maximum of only 81 million statewide in tax credits per year. However, the act does not limit the number of programs which a municipality may submit on its lis t. T herefo re , a ll e lig ib le programs may have an opportunity for consideration under this bill.”

Mrs. Marcus also said she used “a somewhat broad interpretation of community and neighborhood ser­vices” in compiling the list. To be eligible for the tax credit, groups must show that the program is needed, how it will be put into effect and that it will serve the communi­ty-

Groups that have requested the tax credit and the amounts they asked for are:

The Community Child Guidance Clinic, 8200,000 to expand current programs; The Manchester Com- mu^ty (jollege Foundation, 83.9 million, for the performing arts center; the Manchester Community

College Foundation, 850,000 to assist . MCC where state funds are un­available or inadequate; the Manchester Arts Council, 86,500, to assist program; MARCH Inc. of Manchester, 8380,000 to operate ; program for mentally retarded adults; Manchester Association of Retarded Citizens, 8100,000 to ex- . pand program; Legal Services of Manchester Inc., to reinstate legal aid; Crossroads of Manchester Inc., . 85,()00, for drug education and out­reach; Town of Manchester Recrea­tion Department/Camp Kennedy,830.000, for repairs and renovations to shelter; Manchester Bicentennial Band Shell, 85,000, to replace sound system.

Also, Town of Manchester Health Department for the Indo-CSiinese Human Services Network, 8L200, to p repare d irec to ry ; Town of Manchester Social Services Depart­ment Elderly Outreach Fh-ogram,823.000, to support program; Town of Manchester Phone - a - ride Program , 875,000 to support program; M(i:C Child Development Center, 812,000 to 815,000 for operating costs; MCC Women’s Center, 815,000 for continued opera­tion; MCC New England Relays, 85,- 000 to 87,000 for operating costs.

Also, Forest Hills Crime Watch Association, 83,600 to set up crime watch p rogram; ' Manchester Symphony Orchestra and Chorale, $2,800 to continue program; Jeffer­son House Adult Day Care Program, 825,000 to establish program; Board of Education Project Concern, 85,- T 000, for transportation costs; New Hope Manor Inc., $28,985 to refur­bish facility and expand program; Lutz (^ildren's Museum, $275,000 fo r g e n e r a l o p e r a t i o n and renovations.

Also, M a n c h e s t e r Area Conference of Churches Depart­ment of Human Needs, $77,500 to, ma inta in program; Li teracy Volunteers East of the River, $10,- 000 to hire staff; Manchester Public Health Nursing Association Inc., $60,000 to defray deficit and install com put e r sys te m; Town of Manchester Human Services Department Senior Citizens’ Center Hobby Shop, $500 to purchase joiner- planer; Town of Manchester Human Services Depar tmen t Senior Citizens’ Center Lunch Program, $6,000 to offer the program throughout the year.

Once the s t a t e a p p r o v e s Manchester organizations, officials have said they will make the list" available to local businesses so they will know where to make donations.

Architects tour Cheney

Representative from 10 architectural firms toured Cheney Hall Saturday, then subm itted their

. qualifications for review by the architect selection com- - mlttoe.

Jay J. G ile, chairman of the committee, said letters bad been wnt to about 15 architectural firms, inviting them to Apply for the job of restoring the 1867 building.

A few of the firms are already familiar with (%eney Hall, G lle said, so did not send representatives to Satunlay’s meeting.

The deadline for firms to submit qualifications is Friday, Giles said. The architect selection committee — which includes representatives from the' Cheney Hall Board of .Commissioners, the Manchester Historical Society, the Cheney Brothers National Historic Land­mark District Commission and the LitOe Theater of Manchester, the building’s tenant — is scheduled to meet Monday to begin narrowing the fieldnf applicants.

Giles said the committee will probably interview six firms. Under the procedure adopted by the Board of Comtoissioners and the Little Theater, the committee will select three finqs. The Board of Commissioners will review those three, then refer selection to the Little TbiBater.

The committee will carry out the negotiations with the architect for fees and other matters, but the actual contract will be between (be architect and LTM, the

> primary fund raiser for the project.' The timetable calls fqr toe architect to. be hired In

Sqitanber, with preliminary design work to be com­pleted by Deconber and actual construction to begin in April. ; »

Oklahoma and Alaskd hold primariesBy Clay F. Richards UPl Political Writer

Two big oil states are holding prim aries for governor, with Oklahoma Democrats expected to renominate Gov. George Nigh for an unprecendented second term while in Alaska 12 men want the right to succeed retiring GOP Gov. Jay Hammond.

Aiaska and Oklahoma, unlike most of the states which are running

deficits, have huge profits from oil, and what to do with all that money is a major factor in today’s voting.

Oklahoma voters, will be asked to approve a trust fund to put the money away for a rainy day when oil and gas run out. In Alaska, they have to decide how to give back $3 billion in oil revenues to residents and the proposals range from low in­terest ioans to build homes to just giving the money away.

No governor has ever served more

Release of youth in civil rights cose shocks the police

BOSTON (U PI) — Poiice say they are shocked by a judge’s decision to release without bail a white teenager arrested for violating the civil rights of a black family in a racially tense neighborhood.

“ 1 cannot believe that the court would treat a felony complaint so lightly,” Police Commissioner Joseph M. Jordan said after Michael Gaine, 18, was released without bond following a court appearance on charges of exposing himself in front of a black woman and her fa m ily in th e ir Hyde Park neighbophood.

Associate West Roxbury District Court Judge Augustine Gannon said he made the release Monday because he had received only a mis- deameanor complaint — not a felony as police had said.

Gaine, who had been held Sunday night in lieu of $100,000 bail, went befoi'e Gannon on the lewdness charge and was released without bail pending a hearing Sept. 7.

" I f the proper complaint has been brought before me, he (Gaine) would have been arraigned and trial date set.” Gannon said.

But a police spokesman said, "As far as we know, that’s how it went in (as a felony) and that’s why the c o m m is s io n e r m ade h is . statement.’ ’

Gaine faces up to three years for a felony lewdness conviction.

Police said Gaine and another youth, David Gilligan, 20, violated a landmark civil rights order signed by them and six other youths last week in Suffolk Superior Court.

The order, which resulted from the first use of a state’s civil rights act, banned the youths from h a ra ss in g b la ck s in the neighborhood arid specifically prohibited them from congregating in a playground across the street from the home of a black family, which has been r ep ea ted ly harassed.

Police said the two youths were spotted in the field Sunday after Bertha Brooks complained and Gaine was arrested and charged with open and gross lewdness for allegedly exposing himself and urinating in front of the woman and her child.

Bloomingdale's a4ath won't stop palimony suit

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (U P I) — A woman who claims she was mistress to Alfred Bloomingdale, a friend for 30 years and adviser. to President Reagan, will pursue her $5 million "palimony” suit against the estate of the department store heir, who died Friday of cancer. He was 66.

When informed of his death, Vicki Morgan, 29, a former actress and model who claims she was Bloomingdale’s mistress for 12 years, said she was grief stricken. She said she still loved Bloomingdale and believed he still loved her, a spokesman for her attorney, Marvin Mitehelson, said Monday.

Bloorningdale died in his sleep Friday night at St. John’s Hospitai but his death and burial were not disclosed until Monday.

Bloomingdale’s wife, Betsy, described as Mrs. Reagan’s best friend, had been with her husband Friday but was at home when he died, personal secretary M.L. Raab said.

A White House spokesman said the Reagans were told of their longtime friend’s death when they arrived at their Santa Barbara ranch Saturday, but had no public comment.

At a hearing Monday on Miss Morgan’s suit, Superior Court Commissioner Bertran Mouron granted a motion by Bloomingdale attorneys to postpone indefinitely a deposition by the widow that had been scheduled for Thursday. He denied a request for a summary judgment dismissing the ac­tion.

Attorney Harold Rhoden, an associate of Mitehelson, said he would be willing to wait several months fo r the deposition but insisted Bioomingdale’s death would not change the status of Miss Morgan’s suit. j . . .

“ The case survives the death of the defendant, he said. “ ’There’ll be only a procedural change. We’ll substitute the estate of Bloomingdale as the defendant.”

Mrs. Bloomingdale, a Los Angeles socialite, also was sued for $5 million on grounds she had broken up her husband’s relationship with Miss Morgan.

Miss Morgan’s suit stunned the upper echelons of Los Angeles society with claims she had been promised lifetime support and earned her keep by providing therapy “ to help Bloomingdale overcome his Marquis de Sade complex.”

Miss Raab said Bloomingdale, who underwent surgery for cancer about a year ago at UCLA Medical Center, had entered St. John’s several days before his death.

He was buried Saturday night at an undisclosed Los Angeles cemetery after a private service attended only by close family members.

Bloomingdale was financial backer for several Broadway shows and Hollywood movies, agent for Frank Sinatra and co-founder of the Diner’s Club.

Besides his wife, he is survived by three children, Geoffrey, Lisa and Robert, and four grandchildren, the latest of which was bom last week.

Fla. woman charged in taking,selling baby

NEW YORK (U P I) - A Florida woman was charged with kidnapping a baby who disappeared 16 months ago when her mother was murdered, then was sold to a New York City woman for $10,000, authorities said.

Gladys Villar, 47, of Jacksonville, Fla., admitted selling the child to the Manhat­tan woman but denied any knowledge of the mother's killing, said Capt. Harold Wischerth Monday,

Police suspect the baby's real mother was killed by someone who wanted the child, who was 2 months old when she disappeared.

Ms. Villar voluntarily returned to New York from Florida last Friday with city detectives to testify as a material witness in the case, police said. An assis­tant Manhattan district attorney decided Monday afternoon to charge the woman with kidnapping the baby.

The detectives went to Florida last

week in an attempt to„trace the trail of Emanuela Roman, the Manhattan woman who was raising 18-month-old Jessica Maldonado as her daughter "Barbarita.” Ms. Roman said she bought the child for $10,000.

Yudelka Maldonado, 19, the baby's mother, was found strangled in April 1981 on a street in Brooklyn. Tlie child was last seen with her mother about six hours earlier.

Police investigating the slaying developed information that led them to Ms, Roman, 52. She told police she purchased Jessica and one of “ twin” 3- year-old boys she also was raising. She has not been charged in the case.

Wischerth said Ms. Villar adthitted having JeSsica in her possession and selling the infant to Ms. Roman. He said the transaction took place in New York and Ms. Villar subsequently moved to Florida,

Dru'g pumps implanted in cancer patients

LOS ANGELES (U P I) - President Reagan, right off the ranch and among Hollywood friends, touted a fellow Republican for the ^nate with subdued praise and politial swipes at his oppo­nent.

Reagan took center stage Monday night at a milliondollar fund raiser for ,GOP Senate hopeful Pete Wilson that signals what aides describe as an active campaign schedule for the President in the weeks to come.

Reagan flew to Los Angeles from his moutaintop ranch near Santa Barbara with his wife Nancy. Mrs. Reagan, still grieving the death of her faUier last week, canceled plans to accompany the president to the Wilson fund-raiser and an event tonight for George Deukmejlan, the GOP candadiate for governor.

The $l,000-a-person “ Reagan Country Roundup;” held on a movie set at the 20th Century Fox Studios, had Hollywood glitter and Western informality.

Dressed in Western garb and sitting with such acquaintances as Roy Rogers and Dale Evansand actor Robert Stack, Reagan defended his own policies as he boosted Wilson’s candidacy.

The president lauded Wilson for his experience in the State legislature and his performace as mayor Of San Diego, “ one of the best run communities in the United States.”

However, he spent less time praising Wilson’s merits than he spent taking potshots at the Democratic candidate. Gov. Edmund Brown, Jr.

“ You send P e t e W ils o n to Washington,” Reagan told the well- heeled crowd. “ And if you can’t send him, don’t send anybody.”

The crowd responded warmly as Reagan accused "Brown of squandering state money, having little understanding of local government and campaigning on the basis of p r o m i s e s rather than achievements.

“ Will we make our choices based on carhpaign slogans and spot ads, or will we ... look at the record?” Reagan asked. “ Is there any relation between what the governor says he , will do and what he has done?

Reagan also seized the opportunity to take aim at Sen. Edward Kennedy, Mass., who is scheduled to campaign for Brown.

PROVIDENCE, R .I.(UPI) — Surgeons at Roger William.s General Hospital are im planting small pumps inside selected cancer patients to send medication directly into the site of a tumor and curb chemotherapy side effects.

Dr. Francis J. Cum­m ings, head o f the hospital's oncology and hematology division, said the $3,000 pumps are expected to be valuable in treating some types of cancers because they solve a key problem plaguing conventional methods of administering anti-cancer drugs.

Lead rule tightened

WASHINGTON (U PI) - The g o v e rn m en t is proposing rules to reduce lead emissions at gasoline refineries by 31 percent In the next eight years, a move applauded by an en­vironmental group as fair and in the public’s interest.

The regulations are expected to go into effect by Nov. 1.

In announcing the deci­sion Monday, the En­vironmental Protection Agency said the new rules would cut airborne lead 31 percent by the end of 1990.

is swallowed or injected into a vein is diluted by the patient’ s blood before reaching the tumor. The new device pumps the medication directly into a blood vessel leading to the tumor, and hits the cancer with full strength.

Cummings said the technique also allows doc­tors to give patients highef concentrations of drugs. Chemotherapy for liver cancer victim^, for exam­ple, can be 100 times stronger than normal without producing harsh side effects.

“ For some patients, it’s a better way to g ive chem otherapy,” Cum­mings said.

About a half-dozen liver

cancer patients have received the pumps over the past six months. The hospital hopes to have another half dozen im­planted by the end of September, and is training surgeons fro m oth er hospitals to use the device on patients whose cancer is confined to one part of the body. .The implant surgery takes about one hour.

"Patien ts have been extremely receptive to it,” C u m m ings to ld the P r o v id e n c e Jou rn a l Bulletin. “ They have a dis­ease no one wants to have, but this offers them a hope of getting more Intense treatment than one would get any other way.”

He said the pump is not

for everyone, only for patients whose cancers are confined to one part of the body. Its use is being restricted to cancers of the liver, the neck and the head.

The pump experiment began as doctors started getting encouraging results

with chemotherapy drugs.For example, 75 percent

of all liver cancer patients tested with chemotherapy started responding to their anti-cancer drugs. The usual response rate is 20 percent, probably because the drug is diluted in the bloodstream

MANCHESTER HERALD. Tues.. Aug. 24, 1982 -

Court: Sniffed pot evidence is admissable

HARTFORD (U P I) — The Connecticut Supreme Court has ruled the ability of a veteran state trooper to smell marijuana established probable cause for the rrest of a Plainfield man on drug charges despite lalms of improperly acquired information.The high court’s ruling Monday handed stote

prosecutors a rare victory In reversing a judge’s n-etrial dismissal of charges against the defendant.The court Meld the dismissal of charges against Fran­

cis Arpln after his arrest in 1979 was improper even hough the state obtained some information in the

search warrant “ in an unconstitutional manner.”Arpin was arrested on Oct. 23,1979, after six packages

of marijuana were delivered via United Parcel Service to his home in Plainfield. The marijuana had been shipped from Chicago under the surveillance of federal drug agents. .

He was charged with possession of marijuana, posses­sion of marijuana with intent to sell and illegal cultiva- :ion of marijuana.

At Arpin’s pretrial hearing before Judge Michael Conway In Windham County Superior Court, his public defender said the arrest warrant was faulty because state trooper Kerry B. Butler, the arresting officer, opened one of the packages before it was delivered to ^ i n .

Butker said he opened the carton after detecting a strong, familiar odor of marijuana.

Chief Justice John A. Speziale, who wrote the un­animous opinion, said the ability of Butler to smell marijuana extablished probable cause even though it was improper for him to open the package before it was delivered.

Butler’s act “ does provide sufficent information from which the issuing judge could find probable cause to believe that there was marijuana in the boxes to besearched.” , u,- u j

Speziale said probable cause was well established when Butler’s affinity to" smell marijuana is linked to the information from federal drug agents that six boxes of marijuana were en route to Arpin’s home.

The boxes,, marked. Royal Crown Apples, were ad­dressed to Arpin’s wife, Lorraine, and were shipped to the UPS terminal in Hartford where Butler opened one and made a positive field test for marijuana.

Butler obtained the search and seizure warrant from Superior Court Judge Harry W. Edelberg on the day of the arrest.

State prosecutors said they were pleased with the decision by the court, which dismissed Conway’s ruling and ordered further proceedings.

Avenues of appeal by the state are limited in criminal cases, and it was necessary for the state’s attorney’s of­fice to obtain permission from Conway to appeal his ruling to the Supreme Court.

The state cannot appeal ,any verdict of acquittal nor can it appeal at any point after a defendant has gone to trial.

Lab analyzes gait disorders in childrenNEWINGTON (U PI) — A computerized laboratory

doctors hope will lead to giant steps for children with walking disorders has been developed at the Newington Children’s Hospital.

The computerized system is a tracking system called a “ gait analysis laboratory,” designed and built by United Technologies Research Center, the re^arch arm of the Hartford-based United Technologies Corp.

in 15 mlnuteB, a news release from UTC said, me . system measures and analyzes a-quarter-of-a-million ] pieces of information about the way a person walks. It ' provides an assessment of the need for surgery, braces • or physical therapy, relying on biomedical date derived . from measurements made on a patient’s individual . walk:

In its first year of operation, the lab has been used on ‘ children with cerebral palsy and neuromuscular disease ' and has attracted medical visitors from throughout the . United States and Europe.■ “ I ’m really surprised at the number of visitors, though I guess I shouldn’t be because we re the only

‘ hospital in the world that has thi? kind of gait lab,” said Dr. James Gage, the hospital’s director of research.

The lab analyzes motion through the use of three computer-linked television Cameras, reflective markers and infrared light. One of the cameras has a “ Snoopy” doll perched on top to keep the attention 61 young patients as they walk down a 60-foot pathway during the hour-long test. Balance is measured by pressure- sensitive plates in the pathway.

The cameras detect and record the position of some 28 reflective markers on the patient’s b ^ y . As the patient walks, the television cameras record the markers’ posi­tion with pulsed infrared light. On a video screen a com­puter produces a stick-figure drawling of the patient.

“ It’s like tracking 28 missiles going through space at the same time and analyzing every motion they make,”

‘^ X S h a s the capabiUty of storing data on some 750 patients, to compare these patients with themselves, with different patients, or with people with no walking disordei:s,i said Gage, an orthoptic surgeon.

He said the lab is a valuable tool in the assessment of -surgical treatment, especially in cases gf cerebral I'^pato. because it allows the surgeon to evaluate which ' m iw les are overactive in planning surgery.

“ We can’t make youngsters with cerebral palsy walk normally,” he said. “ But through gait analysis we can

“one of the youngsters with cerebral palsy who is walking better because of the date obtained by the gait lab.

Tries to unite party

Bozzuto reaffirms his support of Rome

LEWIS ROME (LEFT), RICHARD BOZZUTO MEET PRESS . . Bozzuto restated backing for GOP ticket

HARTFORD (U PI) - Former GOP gubernatorial candidate Richard Boz­zuto has publicly reaffirmed his support for his one-time rival Lewis Rome, the party’s endorsed candidate, in an effort to get his supporters to unite behind the party ticket.

Bozzuto, a former GOP Senate leader, pushed his once fierce rivalry with Rome another step back Monday during the first joint appearance by the two men since Rome defeated Etozzuto for the gubernatorial nomination at the Republican State Convention in July.

“ I made it very clear the day I in­dicated I was not going to (force a) primary that I was endorsing Lewis Rome and the entire Republican ticket so there’s no question, this is just a reaf-

Communist seeks ballot slotHARTFORD (UPI) — A Communist

Party candidate for Congress whose automatic spot on the ballot was taken away by reapportionment says she has filed enough petition signatures to get herself on the ballot in November.

Joelle Fishman, speaking with reporters Monday before delivering petitions to the Secretary of the State’s office, said she had submitted more than twice the 1,600 signatures required to qualify for the ballot in the 3rd District.

Ms. Fishman, who is seeking to make her fifth consecutive run in the district, said she filed the petition signatures “ under protest” in light of her un­successful battle to be listed on the ballot.

Ms. Fishman had argued she should have been listed automatically because she received the 1 percent of the vote needed in her previous campaigns in the 3rd District to qualify for ininor party status.

However, a New Haven Superior Court judge ruled earlier this month the seat was a “ newly created office” because reapportionment changed the district boundary and thus Ms. Fishman would have to petition for the new office.

Ms. Fishman said Monday she would probably appeal the judge’s ruling, but decided to go ahead with the petition process to assure her name would be on the ballot.

She said she got more than the number of petitions necessary to avoid problems such as those the Communist Party had two years ago when local voting officials disqualified a number of the signatures on the party’s petitions.

"We got twice as many because we’ve had so many bad experiences with voters’ signatures being disqualified in the past,” she said, adding she hoped to collect a “ few hundred more” signatures for sub­mission next week.

Ms. Fishman said she filed 815 signatures with the Secretary of the State's office on Monday.

firmation of that,” Bozzuto said.Bozzuto had said he would support

Rome and the rest of the GOP ticket when he announced after the convention that he would not primary Rome for the right to battle Democratic Gov. William O’Neill in November.

Monday, Bozzuto joined Rome for the news conference in the room at the Capitol from which both had led their party’s Senate troops to reaffirm his sup­port for Rome’s gubernatorial bid.

Rome said the reaffirmation was necessary to make visible the support he had from Bozzuto, a Watertown in­surance salesman, and get the message out to people who supported Bozzuto but were not involved in politics.

Bozzuto said it would have taken time to get the party behind one candidate had he forced a primary.

Without a primary in the offing, Boz­zuto said the move toward Rome already had begun and he expected even his most loyal supporters would back the Bloom­field laywer.

“ I think I lot of people will realize the importance of electing a Republican ticket,” Bozzuto said. “ It's not going to make any difference whether you’re a Rome or Bozzuto loyalist. What counts is winning in November.”

As for his own plans, Bozzuto said he was “ getting happier” doing what he was doing out of the political arena although he pledged to help in the cam­paign and “ do whatever is asked of me” by Rome or the GOP state organization.

Rome indicated he would offer Bozzuto a position in state government if he won in November, but Bozzuto said he wasn't interested.

Reagan makes a nearWASHINGTON — Enactment

of,,the tax-increase bill, or the tax-reform bill if you prefer, is being hailed as a major victory for President Reagan. And no doubt it should be, considering how hard he personally lobbied for it.

Bu t th e e n a c tm e n t w as achieved at some considerable costs to him in terms of the con­tinuing debate over how best to put the country on the road to economic recovery.

F IR ST O F ALL , he lost the remarkable solidarity of his own party that was demonstrated in the Repubiicans’ lockstep sup­port of his budget and tax-cut legislation of last year. Some 89 Republicans voted against him, and more Democrats (123) voted with him than Republicans (103).

Furtherm ore, most o f the Republicans who broke with him very probably did so out of loyal­ty to the basic supply-side dogma adopted by his administration.

■ A J a c k G e r i n o n d

J u l e s W i t c o v e r

*1 Syndicated columnists

which has held that tax cuts are the vehicle for spurring business investm ent and, through it, economic recovery.

Many of these Republicans fear now that although Reagan says he has not changed his basic policy, that indeed he has.

Speaker Tip O’Neill, in his un­usual but politically deft direct appeal to Republicans from the well of the House just before Thursday’s vote, pointedly told the freshmen on the other side of the aisle that they were “ here because of Reagan’ ’ — that he pulled them into the House on hik

coattails — and that "h e ’s asking for a change in policy.’ ’

O ’ N e i l l underscored that reading by .adding that “ today the president has sent over a cor­rection and we have the power to make that correction.” It was, clearly, another way of saying Reagan was wrong last year in insisting on such a massive tax cut, and that now, belatedly, even Reagan realized it.

Chairman Dan Rostenkowski of the House Ways and Means Committee, made the same point more bluntly by saying the presi­dent recognized^ he had to deal with the growing federal deficit’ ’

and had to take a mid-course cor­rection."

Even House Minority Leader Bob Michel, not botherhag to dis­cuss the bill as tax reform, flatly described the results of last year’s Reagan tax cut as “ this tremradous loss of revenue all at one time,’ ’ which forced Reagan to submit a budget this year “ with an unacceptable deficit."

What the president was doing in backing this tax increase, Michel said, was, rather than “ doing a flip-flop . ■ ■ noaklng some adjustment in our excesses of last year.”

ALL TH IS WAS pretty close to a confession that the Reagan tax cut of 1981 — the heart of the “ Reaganomics” cure — was a serious mistake that need^ fixing.

There was also a lot of talk prior to the vote about the courage it took to seek a tax in­crease in an election year and to vote for one. But it should be

remembered that the n^on did not originate with Reagan, but rather with Republicans on Capitol Hill like Chairman Bob Dole of the Senate Finance Com­mittee, who authored the bill that, with House adjustments, Reagan finally embraced and lobbied like blazes for.

Republicans who reflect on that fact are likely to wonder whether Reagan really wanted the tax increase, or was taiked into It. The New Right already has expressed its view that he is being manipulated by White House chief of staff James Baker and others within the White. House. ,

As for the Democrats who bailed Reagan out on this one, they may have to take some heat from the vo ters , but the Republicans are now effectively neutralized from calling them big taxers, since Reagan asked them to vote for the bill and more than h a lf o f the H ou se Republicans went along too.

An editorial

Why does Green resist scrutiny ?

What is Arthur Green afraid of?

’The director of the state Com­mission on Human Rights and Op­portunities ' is upset that his agency, like many other agen­cies, has to submit to periodic review by the state Legislature.

The le g is la t iv e P ro g ra m Review and Investigations Com­mittee will have a public hearing Thursday on the performance of G r e e n ’ s c o m m is s io n . Th e hearing is part of the com- m itteee’s study of the commis­sion under the state “ sunset” statutes, which requ ire the Legislature to renew certain agencies every five years or let them expire.

Green, a Manchester resident, argues that racism and sexism are going to be with us next year, and it is “ ludicrous” for the state even to consider dis­banding the agency that is sup­posed to protect residents from those abuses.

He notes that the State Police don’t come under the scrutiny of the legislative committee. Why should his commission? he asks.

M a n c h e s t e r ’ s H u m an Relations Commission agrees with Green and intends to argue Thursday that his agency should be exempt from review.

But the lack of sufficient over­sight of the State Police ought not to count in the case of the CHRO.

Nobody seriously thinks the Legislature will decide to dis­band Green’s commission. I f it did citizen pressure would result in something very similar taking its place.

’I lie legislative committee, though, needs the ultim ate ’ threat of disbanding the agency,

if its recommendations'

"Lyn, you’re going to have to epruce a bit. Somehow, you keep renOndlng me of the unem- pkyment figured”

are to carry weight. And it is very much in the interests of everybody concerned about human rights that Green’s com­mission be effective.

Already the legislative review has uncovered evidence that Green’s commission isn’ t per­forming as well as Connecticut citizens have a right to expect.

The committee’s staff reports that allegations of human rights violations — mostly dealing with alleged ly unfair employm ent practices — take the commis- sjon, on average, over a year to dispose of. (Incidentally, 60 per­cent of all complaints are dis­missed for lack of evidence.)' It takes the commission an

average 898 days to deal with allegations o f c iv il liberties violations.

This may be, as Green would argue, because the commission is understaffed.

Or it may be something else. The legislative committee notes that seven o f 12 scheduled meetings of the 12-member com­mission were called o ff during fiscal year 1981-82 because o^ a lack of a quorum.

The leg is la tive com m ittee p rovided that e lec t ion -yea r politics don’t interfere, is an ap­p r o p r ia t e o r g a n iz a t io n to examine the reasons for the slow pace of the CHRO. The. com­m ittee’s recommendations need not be negative. The comm- m ittee might suggest steps that Green would favour, such as more staffing for the CHRO.

Green shouldn’t be fearfu l of the review . He should regard it as an opportunity to im prove his commission. Instead he’s acting as though he has something to hide.

On Saturday, Aug. 14, a very special event took place in East Hartford at Wickham Park.

A large group of wonderful people, a ll' residents o f Manchester, volunteered their time to play volleyball non-stop for IS hours to he lp r a is e m on ey fo r the Manchester Area Conference of Churches.

MACC a non-profit organization, help many people throughout the year by providing to those in need, food, clothing, emergency shelter, assistance in payment of heating bills In winter, and any other needs that require special attention.

’The very successful event was originated by three very thou^tful people who live In Manchester. They a re K a tr in e W a lsh , Jean Stankiewicz, and Mark Albert. ’They worked long hours organizing the entire day, collecting pledges, and managed to play voUeyball for the entire day also.

’ Ihese three good friends, all home from college for the summer, spoit one full month of- that free time creating this endeavor with one pur­pose in mind; to do something con­structive using their volleyball skills (a sport all t h ^ favorite), to raise money In order'to help as many peo­ple as possible.

Being fortunate enough to par­ticipate myself, I came to realize just how important the day really wag,. E very dollar donated by generous supporter in town will mean better days lae many In the future.

One more child will have a little more clothing to wear, one more family will have a little ifiore food to

eat, and one home will be warmer this winter.

I know as of this writing that well over a fl,(XI0 was raised, so a special thanks are in order for Katrine Jean, and Mark, who created a fine day for all who participated, and in turn a finer year for those who will benefit from their tremendous ef­fort.

Manchester will shine brigher thisyear because of these three thoughtful friends.

Good events come and go but good people like the above are rare as rainbows and should be noticed. Manchester should be happy to have these wonderful people ri|^t here in our own back yards.

We’re all very fortunate. Super job, gang! Thanks for a great day.

When you lose a brother, you lose a friend. I ’ve lost one. I ’m desperate to locate a long lost buddie of mine. For five years (1940-45) we grew up together in the Stetson Home for Boys, In Barre, Mass.

If any of your readers knows the wereabouts of James Walter Scott, age 55, formerly of Rockville and Tolland, I sore would appreciate, hearing from them. ,

One last reunion of former boys is planned for Oct. 2 In'Barre. I sure would like Jimmy to walk with me, one last time. Please write to me at 129 Tlmson Street, Lynn, 5Iass. 01902.

Loyalty counts too muchWASfflNG’TON - Eymy preSii-

dent in recent memory has felt frustrated by an inability to impose his policies on the entrenched Washington bureaucracy. Ronald Reagan is no exception. ^

At the Environmental Protection Agency, Reagan’s political myf^ midons have attempt^ to solve this perennial problem by making loyal­ty to the Republican Party an in­dispensable condition of employ­ment in key middle-echelon jobs. ’They have done this in blatant dis­regard of existing statutes and even, as one worried official warned, of the F irs t Amendment to the Constitution.

It’s perfectly legal and proper to name papty stalwarts to jobs at the policymaking Ibvel; packing the civil-service ranks with party hacks is a different story. Even for non­competitive jobs like staff at­torneys, the law forbids considera­tion of a candidate’s political affilia­tion.

YET TH IS is precisely what the administration has done in its deter­mination to stop EPA ’s enforce­ment office from putting the heat on the business community. My associates Indy Badhwar and John Dillon have obtained a confidential list of GOP faithful who were hired as EPA attorney-advisers after direct referrals from the White House and Republican stalwarts.

Sources say the coordinator of the political referra l ring is Lee Atwater, a deputy, assistant to the president. Here are some of the peo­ple EPA hired, and their sponsors;

• Bernard “ Jay” Apperson, referred by Atwater and ^n . Paula Hawkiiis, R-FIa. Apperson was -a member of Citizens tor Reagan, and of the Committee for the Re- election of the President — the notorious CREEP of Watergate in­volvement — during the Nixon era.

• Robert E. Morey, referred by Ken Cribb, a deputy assistant to toe president, and Sen. John E)ast, R- N.C. Morey is a part president of toe Y ou n g R e p u b lfc a n s and a "sustain ing m em ber’ ’ o f the Republican National Committee.

• Ken H olland ,' re fe rred by Atwater, Rep. Lawrence Coughlin, R-Pa., and Sen. Arlen Specter, R- Pa.

• Michael Murphy, referred by Reps. Stan Parris, R-Va., and G. William Whitehurst, R-Va. A note on toe list says that Murphy’s father is a “ member (o f) GOP Steering Committee for Virginia.”

• Winston Haytoe, referred by Sen. East and Rep. (iene Taylor, R- Mo. In his glowing recommendh- tlon, Taylor wrote: “ Mr. Haytoe Is a registered Republican . . . Members of his family are active, strong sup­porters of toe GOP.”

THESE PO LIT ICALLY reUable applicants were put in EPA ’s Office of Legal Enforcement Counsel, where, decisions are made on whether to prosecute corporate polluters. The office has come under increasing congresrtonal fire as a see-no-evil outfit.

The flouting o f civil-service statutes was so flapant toat a top EPA official waa moved to write a confidential protest t o ’ the recent chief o f enforcement, W ilia m SuUlyah. Referring to a meeting in March 1962, the official wrote: “ I understood you to say that an an applicant for an . , . attoniey posi­tion may not be hired unless the in­dividual was a Republican or an Independent.” The memo noted that such practice violated both toe Civil Service Iteform Act of 1718 and toe First Ammdment.

Sources said the author of the memo was EPA general counsel Robert Peny. He did not return callsfor cMtiment

. In addition to the improper politicization of the.legal office, what'bothers EPA insldm la that toe GOP faithful were hrou^t on board by E PA during a hiring freeze. ' Many were put on toe payroll as temporary consultants in IM l, when more than 100 employees Were laid off In' a reduction-in-force. , , ■ ’ "

tries to be a good father? So what?By Jeff Greenfield

A notable political commercial is running this summer in New York state, but it could just as well be running in any political season in any state in the union. The wife of a ■candidate for governor is waxing eloquent about toe q>lendid husband and father her mate is. Over footage of the good gentleman playing soft- ball with bis children, cuddling them, reveling in toe pleasures of hearth and home, his wife sighs, *‘He’s very special.”

Such dn appeal to the heartstrings of voters is and always has been a banly perennial of campaigning. We voters are supposed to believe that toe sight of an office-seeker sur­rounded by his loving family is

. testament to his sterling character, a validation of his capacity to wield toe power of office.

Indeed, in 1980 President Carter made toe connection explicit. No doubt seeking to contrast his home life with toe troubled domestic life of Sen. EMward Kennedy, Cart«' was shown in television commer­cials laboring over daughter Amy’s homework — perhaps multiplication tab*les c o n ce rn in g n u c lea r proliferation? — and telling us, “ I don’t think there’s any way you can separate the responsibilities of being a husband or father ... from that of being a good president. What I tried to do in toe White House was to maintain a good family life, which I consider^ crucial to being a good president.”

A t toe risk of being labeled a Satanic enemy o f toe home, I would like to suggest that such a connec­tion is balderdash. There is no political assertion more thoroughly contradicted by both logic and

history than toe idea that a good home life is somehow linked to per­forming political work well.

THE LOGICAL absurdity of toe Claim should be obvious. Would any

I of us want a president who, sum­moned to an emergency meeting of the National Security Council to con­sider Soviet naval maneuvers in toe Mediterranean, suddenly excuses himself to work on his daughter’s algebra problems?

Do we really want a president to put aside a decision about toxic waste in favor of making an appearance at his son’s Little League game? Indeed, the prolifera­tion of divorced or never-married poiitical figures — including the governor of California anj the mayor of New York in toe latter camp, and toe president of toe United States in toe former — is

evidence of toe electorate’s wisdom in re je c t in g a link between stereotypical family man and good public man.

Moreover, take a look back at oc­cupants of toe Oval Office and see what kind of evidence that provides on toe matter.

In toe last half-century, we have had two confirmed philanderers as presidents. Franklin D. Roosevelt carried on a notorious affair with Lucy Mercer;— provoking Eleanor Roosevelt into serious consideration of divorce — and was with Ms. Mercer at toe hour of his death.

John Kennedy’s extracurricular activities, including romps with one woman linked to an organized crime figure, have become matters of public record now.

By contrast, Herbert Hoover, Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter were all presidents whose family

l i v e s w e r e e v id e n t ly a b o v e reproach.

Yet were you to ask toe American citizenry whether they would prefer presidents like FD R and JFK or those more like Hoover, Nixon or Carter, the response would be overwhelming. TTie domestic lives of Roosevelt and Kennedy may well be deserving of censure, but toe Im­pact of their respective sins on their public lives is impossible to chart.

T H IS IS, I hasten to add, not an arugment for rotten husbands and fathers in public life. After all, Harry ’Truman was a devoted family man who is now held in high esteem by presidential historians. Warren Harding carried on an affair in a coat closet o ff the Oval Office, and is generally regarded as a horren­dous president. And voters certainly have the right to express disap­

proval of a public figure’s private ; life by voting against him.

My argument, rather, is that the claimed link between private probi­ty and public performance simply does not exist.

The matter was most rationally sum m ed up d u rin g the 1884 p res id en tia l e lec tio n betw een Grover Cleveland, who had fathered a child out of wedlock, and James G. B laine, whose public l i fe was touched with financial scandal.

Said one observer, since Blaine is a splendid public man with private sins, let us keep Cleveland in public life and retire Blaine to private life, so that each may find himself in the arena where he best functions.

Remember that the next time you see an office-seeker chucking a baby under the chin.

Do we have enough defense? k iq more fluffEditorial

Editor’s note: This is another in a series of .commentaries the Manchester Herald is run­ning on the nuclear onns race. Charls E. Walker is co-founder of the Committee on the Present. Danger and a member of the Prekident's Economic Policy Advisory" Board. .

By Dr. Charles E. Walker

Tlie rapid growth of Soviet strategic and , theater capabilities in nuclear weapons has led to an ominous political and military threat.

Beginning in toe early 1980s. and lasting at least until 1989, both toe survivability and the counter-force capability of U.S. deterrent forces will lack credibility.

If this condition is permitted to develop, the use of either conventional or nuclear forces in defense of important U.S. and Allied interests would be rendered imprudent. Preventing such a development requires substantial action and brooks no delay.

Simultaneously, toe U.S. should proceed ' steadily over the longest term to reverse the

shift toward Soviet nuclear superiority — and to '■ forestall any .Soviet notion toat it could fight,

survive and win a nuclear war.’• The survivability of U.S. strategic nuclear forces is toe bedrock of a prudent and credible

" foreign policy. A survivable strategic arsenal serves as a deterrent against Soviet use of nuclear weapons or toe threat to use those weapons, and it bolsters toe deterrent capacity of U.S. conventional forces.

THE COMMITTEE on toe Present Danger recognizes that national security and economic

, well-being are interdependent objectives.TTie committee has emphasized since its in­

itial Statement on 11 November 1976 toat a „. strong, progressive and stable economy is an es­

sential foundation for a sound and adequate program of national security.

In funding toe levels of defense effort which we believe necessary to redress toe U.S.-Soviet

, military imbalance, care to avoid exacerbating current economic difficulties is taken into ac­count, but is not or should not be determinitive.

’The requirements of national security should be determinitive.

The requirements of national security should be determinitive of toe levels of defense spen­ding — not some contrived or artific ia l budgetary formula involving non-defense spen­ding, taxes and borrowing.

There is no question that toe American economy is capable of supporting an increased

AsymbolerrorBy David E. Anderson United Press International

„ WASHlNGTriN — National policy debates are , conducted with symbols and metaphors — verbal

„. shorthand toat is toe politician’s equivalent of toe .. demonstrator’s placard.

Sometimes such metaphors stand for or sum­marize an entire administration, as in Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal. Other times they sum­marize a complex set of programs and proposals with an overarching goal, such as Richard Nixon’s Project Independence, which sought to descrihe

T his administration’s energy policy.' But as William E. Davis, director of toe " National League of d ties ’ Office of Policy

Analysis and Development, points out, not only do I,, these metaphors describe, they also “ greatly in- ' fluence the; nature and directini of our toiiddng

about public policy issues.”Davis made his comment In Introducing a re-

coit study by his colleague at toe League of " Cities, William R. Barnes, of one of the Reagan

administration’s most popular metaidiors — toe “ social safety net.”

ihie safety net metaphor was first used by top T administration in its “ Programf for Ecbnomic ’ Recovery” of Feb. 18,1981, vtolch noted a number ‘ bf economic security programs,, for the poor

already existed, and asterted:“ The President believes toat toe essential

' social safety net must be maintained.”-* p »“ lndeed,” toe plan added, “ the President’s

budget reform plan is animated by and most be understood in terms rt its motivation to preserve iuKi malntSln those social safety net ptograms that reprteent toe accrued permanent consensus

of the American people over toe past five “ decades.” ,

defense effort.The most important thing to note about the

economics of defense is also toe simplest. Defending toe nation is not free. It has its costs. But so do all the other good things. To say that defense, like other good things, has its costs does not imply that these costs are not worthwhile.

TH E ARG UM ENT is often advanced that there is something special about expenditures for defense in that they yield no product. But of course there is a product. The product is national security. That is an extremely valuable product. Without it, most of the other products would not last long or be worth very much.

During World War I I the United States devoted about 50 percent of its national output to the war effort. No one thought that was too much. No one now thinks anything like that is needed today. In the 1920s we spent less than . one-half of one percent of our national output for defense. Hardly anyone thinks that would be adequate today.

At a more general level, the effects of the defense expansion on the economy will depend on the monetary and fiscal policy that accom­panies it.

But of most significance is the fact that the economic burden of the program proposed by the Committee need not be excessive.

T H E A D M IN I S T R A T IO N ’ S d e fen se program is a minimal one. It w ill not halt the un­favorable trends in the U.S.-Soviet military baiance, let alone reverse them.■In the nuclear area, timely programs to

restore toe survivability o f U.S. strategic forces are not included in the Adm inistration’s program.

The program does seek to bolster U.S. strength in conventional forces, but the levels proposed are, in most cases, well below what is required.

(ionsequentiy, any reduction in the Ad­ministration’s proposed defense effort wouid further erode our national security.

The time for the United States to restore its defenses is fleeting. Failure to do so could tempt the Soviet Union to exploit its vast military power.

Regretfully, the conclusions reached by our Committee in its first Statement, on 11 November 1976, remain valid today:

“ Our country is in a period of danger, and toe danger is increasing. Unless decisive steps are taken to alert toe nation, and to change toe course of its policy, our economic and military capacity w ill become inadequate to assure peace with security.”

China deserves to lose its imageNEW YO R K — E ver since

Richard Nixon inaugurated U.S. relations with Red CTiina in 1971, Peking has enjoyed almost un­iform ly favorable treatment by the American media and our in­tellectual community generally. And why not? American liberals worked long and hard for U.S. recognition of the Communist regime, and it would have been asking too much of human nature to expect them to find it ob­noxious, however strenuously they had insisted that recognition would not necessarily imply ap­proval.

So, a l l d u rin g the 1970s successive U.S. administrations, leading American journalists and e n te rp r is in g businessm en fawned first over Mao (in his fina l and probably craz iest stage) and then over his dis­gusting widow and finally over the clique that overthrew her and has all but repudiated him.

Mainland (toina became the trendy p lace fo r the g lobe­trotting set to visit, and you are lucky indeed if you made it through the ’70s without being forced to watch some acquain­tance’s color slides or home movies of T ’ien-an men Square and the Great Wall.

T O H E A R such gu llib le visitors talk. Communist China was practically Paradise. Not only was everybody happier than in toe dark ages before Libera­tion (1946), but China’s entire population (minus, after 1976, Four) simply adored their Com­munist bosses. And there weren’t even any flies!

To be sure, as toe decade wore on an occasional discordant note burped out of toe lute. I saw about 1978 in toe Asian Wall

Street Journal (published in Hong Kong) a mention of a great rat one businessman had dis­covered sitting in the middle of his Peking hotel room.

And just last year a friend told me that in Peking, in October 1980, “ even before they turned on in Novem ber the little coal stoves they use for heating,” the pollution was so bad he couldn’t see across a city street.

But only within the last past few months, thanks to two big n ew b o o k s by A m e r i c a n reporters freshly back from the People’s Republic, have alert stay-at-homes been able to learn what life there is really like.

As you probably suspected if you have ever studied com­munism on the hoof , it is s t u l t i f y i n g , i n t i m i d a t i n g , degrading and dull.

“ From the Center o f the Earth: The Search for the Truth about China” is by Richard Bernstein, Time magazine’s first r e s i den t c o r r e sp ond en t in Peking.

In toe words of John Fraser, himself a former Peking cor­respondent for toe Toronto Globe and Mail; “ It is unlikely that any study of China and the Ohinese Communist Party w ill present a bleaker picture ... I f his con­clusions are unremittingly harsh — and I can’t think of a single positive thing he has written about institutional communism in China — they are also a necessary antidote to the fluff that has been served up.”

E Q U A L L Y H AR S H is the verdict of Fox Butterfield, first head of the New York Times’ bureau in Peking. He calls his book “ Oiina: A live in toe Bitter

Sea,” and when you haye read his sensitive account of the often desperate lives of the Chinese he met and befriended (he speaks the language), you will know just what he means.

Savor these lines: “ Almost every Chinese I got to know during my 20 months in Peking had a t a l e o f p o l i t i c a l persecution... From their stories it seemed as if a whole genera­tion of Chinese (and 650 million of China’s 1 billion people have been born since 1949) had known nothing but a r b i t r a r y a c ­cusations, violent swings in the political line, unjustified arrests, torture and imprisonment. Few Chinese I knew felt free from the fear of physical or psychological abuse and a pervasive sense of injustice.”

Read that to your liberal Uncle Herman the next time he starts getting teary-eyed about the situation in Chile.

Make no mistake: The Berns­tein and Butterfield books are aimed squarely at the solar plexus of American opinion on the subject of Red China, and they are bound to have a power­ful impact.

No longer, for one thing, will quite so many American tourists make it all the way to Peking and back with their id eo log ica l blinkers still firm ly in place: I t ’s wonderful what people can see when others have already noticed it.

And the next time Deng Hsiao- pin visits this country, we can hope for some better description of him than “ cute.” With a little luck, we may ever realize we are holding hands with a gang of marauders.

Off hand, it looks as if the 10 of diamonds lead com­bined with the diamond posi­tion had doomed the smm. But Pietro was equal to the occasion. He played dummy's jack. East won and led his singleton trump to dummy's queen. A heart was ruffed, three trumps were cashed to pull West's teeth, a club was led to the queen and a second heart ruffed.

Next came the play of the club king to come down to four cards. Dummy held his two aces and the jack-nine of hearts. Declarer held his last trump, the eight-four of diamonds and jack of clubs while East held ace-10 of hearts and king-seven Of diamonds.

The jack of clubs was now led to dummy's ace and East was caught in a crisscross squeeze. If he let a heart go, the nine of hearts would be led and ruffed and dummy's jack of hearts would be good. If he threw a diamond, the ace of diamonds would be played to establish the eight.

A ll East could do was throw up his hands and surrender.(NEWSPAPEn ENTERPRISE ASSN.)

JO H N FO R SY TH E U K E 8 C O M P LE X R O LE . . . “all the things 1 aspire to be"

HOLLYWOOD — Once iipoa A time, not so long ago, Jotm FVMytbe looked back liMn a career that bad brought him from the New York atage to the living rooms of America as star of "Badielor Fattm ,” “To Rome With Love” and “The John Poraythe Show — a n d iowed he’a never atar In another aerlea, ~' But then along caRne “ Dynaaty” In uao. ^ when Poraythe waa aaked to Jump Into the project aa replace- moit for Getrirge Pmturd (who was dropp^ from ^ aOlea to Ita <Mwt over "creative dlfferencea ), Por^the jw ped.

He had undergone elective heart bypaas aurgery Just alx months earucr. had regains his health, and decided “ the role of Blake Carrington was simply too a r r e s t a cbaUenge to pass up.”

HE MENTION that fact over a relaxed lunch at the Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills Hotel. He says what sold him OB the role was that "Instead of playing ai>n4h»r father of three children, or the unde of a niece who gets dropped off on his doorstep, I'd be portraying a man yyho’s powerful, manipulative, ruthless, loving, tender, virile — aU the things I aspire to be.”

He grins as be concludes statemmt, but then adds,“ Seriously, I did need a chaUenge. 1 didn’t return to TV because 1 needed money or worii. But I had decided that if 1 was going to continue as an actor, there had to be

. something for me more meaningful than ‘Charlie’s Angels’ (in wUch he was heard, but never seen, as the voice of Charlie). '

’ ’Remonber, before 1 started doing television confec­tions, 1 was a serious New York actor. Unfortunately, in the 'TV media, when yon do something, you’re expected to continue to do the same thing. I had fought being typecast in my ’^acheldr Pather’ and ’To Rome With Love’ sweet-guy mold with movie portrayals in which I could show my nasty side, in ’In Cold Blood’ and ’ ... And Jnstice for All.’ And when ’Dynasty’ came along, well, I was ready for the chaUenge of playing a complex character again.

” I said, ’What the hell, John, they’U be paying you well, ABC loves you, the producers love you, you’ll get more love at the studio than you do anywhere else.’ So I said yes — and I ’m stlU glad I did.”

He hasn’t changed his mind about the television

Marilyn BeckSyndicated Columnist

business in general. “ This is not an easy racket. It’s a tough racket. With constant deadlines and strain — and the added tension of working too often with selfish peo­ple off on terrible ego trips."

He stresses, however, that ’ ’Dynasty” is remarkably free of the displays of temperament that undermine other ’TV productions.

We Just don’t put up with that,” he says. “We have a job to do and with the large size of our cast, there’s simply no room for anyone to plSy star.”

HE MAKES THE POINT that “ on the other shows, performers — particularly young people — are often out for themselves. Quick success does spawn monsters. And I don’t like to sound lUie an old codger, but I do feel that any stow can be destroyed If performers don’t pull together as a team tod feel resopnsibllity for their product and for each other.”

He feels the attitude on the “ Dynasty” set has been perhaps helped by the fact he and co-sUrs Linda Evans and Joan Collins “ have been around for a while. And 1 think our attitude has set the proper attitude for the younger people on the series. As parents' behavior in­fluences the behavior of their children.”

Forsythe is sorry he won’t be working with a portion of the “ Dynasty” team this fall (James Farentino, A1 Corley and Heather Locklear have been dropped from the cast, and Gordon Thomson will be introduced this fall as the young man who claims to be Blake Carrington’s long-lost son). But, he says, “ that is the

nature-of our show. It’s like a sprawling novel, where characters come and go.”

His character, he reveals, is mellower than was con­ceived by “ Dynasty” creators. , , ,

“ They wanted Blake to be the guy you loved to hate — with no redeeming qualities. But I resisted. I saw him as the prototype of the big, successful businessman: powerful, money-hungry, but honest and tender with those he loves. I know a lot of guys like that, and that s how I wanted to play Blake Carrington. I simply didn t want to be another J.R. Ewing. Then, fortunately, Joan Collins joined the cast and helped take the pressure off me in that arena by playing the woman who loves to

hate.” . • . 1Though Blake Carrington remains the pivotal

character in the prime-time soap opera, Forsythe is conviced he could easily join the list of those who have written out of the drama. But he hopes that doesn’t happen.

HIS LIFE IS full. He lives the gracious life with Julie, his wife of 39 years, at the same Bel Air home where they raised their three now-grown children. He spends his summer traveling to the exotic spots he loves for filming of his “ World of Survival” series. But “ Dynasty” is still special to him.

“ Even with all the problems attendant to TV, the show is a pleasure,” says the urbane, charming actor. He adds with the brief hint of a smile, “ Being a 64-year- old sex symbol is a hell of a weight t6 carry. But I have no desire for change. At my age, I don’t want to have to start driving a truck.”

For Manchester Parkade, o deluxe Stop & Shop branch

Construction is scheduled to start within 30 days on a deluxe Stop & Shop — including a book depart­ment, florist shop and gourmet food shops — at the Manchester Parkade.

A spokesman for Wilder-Manley Associates, the Boston-based owners of the Parkade who are building the store adjacent to Bradlees, said pians have been com­pleted and only final approval is necessary before construction begins.

The new store is part of the super­market chain’s push toward larger.

more varied markets, according to Robert T. Gallivan, vice president of Wilder-Manley. Gallivan said the new store is 15,000 feet larger than most Stop & Shops and will contain a number of new departments.

A spokesman said it is expected that the store will feature a Barnes & Noble book department, a New York-style delicatessen, a gourmet cheese store, a take-out salad har where a customer makes up his or her own salad, a lobster tank and a large florist shop.

This will be the third super Stop &

Shop, the spokesman said. One is now open in Pembroke, Mass., and a second is under construction in Suf- field. >■i.-'- . J..

The Pembroke store offers 11 aisles of food and six of general m erchandise, in clu d ing toys, games, aptomotivje equipment, radios and. appliances.

The entire Parkade complex is being ren ovate by Wilder-Manley, the spokesman said. A ll renovation should be completed in time for the Stop & Shop opening in May 1983.

tace9 immehSe taskBEIRUT, Lebanon (U P I) - With

Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin congratulating his “ dear friend,” Lebanon's president-elect looked ahead today to his difficult task of evicting all foreign forces and uniting the country.

In Beirut Monday, delirious Christians in east Beirut celebrated the election of Beshir Gemayel as the nation’s sixth president with fusilades of gunfire, honking horns and wailing sirens.

G em aye l was scheduled to assume office on Sept. 23 from out­going President Elias Sarkis, taking

over the leadership of a nation that has been tragically divided for years between Christian and Moslem fac­tions.

” 1 pledge not to represent only one party, or group,” he told newsmen. “ I propose drawing a line between the past and the present and I urge people to put aside communal ties and instead support the legitimate central authority.”

But Moslem opposition to his elec­tion surfaced within hours of Mon­day’s vote. Unknown gunmen fired rocket-propelled grenades into the homes of three Moslem deputies

who ignored an Islamic appeal to boycott the elections.

Israeli tanks crunched along a road Monday at the village of Baab- da not far from the Lebanese military academy where Gemayel, 34, was elected by Parliament as chief of state from a slate of one.

Although Gemayel keeps his dis­tance from Israel politically, the proximity of the tanks suggested benefits reaped from his coopera­tion in recent years with Lebanon's powerful southern neighbor.

Gemayel was believed to have been Israeli Defense Minister Ariel

Sharon’s host when Sharon made a secret visit to east Beirut in January as part of the planning efforts for the invasion o f Lebanon some five months later.

“ M y w a rm , h e a r t fe l t con ­gratulations to you on your elec­tions,” Begin cabled Gemayel. "M ay God be with you, my dear friend, in fulfilling your important historical mission on behalf of the freedom of Lebanon and its in­dependence.”

'The Israeli leader signed his cable “ Your friend, Menachem Begin.” It was the sam e typ e o f w arm

language Begin had used to oeiii- municate with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat before his death last October. ;

Israe l’s state-owned television quoted unnamed Israeli officials Monday as saying the election .hgs_ improved prospects “ for a, pM(% ag reem en t to be s igned w ith Lebanon,” similar to the one signed in 1979 with Egypt. ,

G em a ye l has announced no program yet but his statements in­d ica te he desires a so v e re ig n ' Lebanon without the presence o f any foreign forces. ^ ",

Local man held on 8 counts

Police charged a 54-year-old Manchester man with eight counts of harassment in connection with obscene and harassing telephone calls made to the Meadows Convalescent Home in July.

Emil Haberern of 59 Birch St. was held on $500 cash bond after his arrest on a warrant on Monday, police say. He is charged with making the calls on July 22.

Haberern was charged with harassment on Aug. 14 in connection with another incident, in which police ac­cused him of making obscene telephone calls to the police dispatcher from a public telephone booth on Main Street. Two days later he was arrested again, this time on a disorderly conduct charge, after he allegedly threatened police officer and banged on the windows of his cruiser.

Haberern is scheduled to appear in Manchester Superior Court on Aug. 30.

Drug charges broughtA 21-year-old Manchester woman was arrested on a

warrant Saturday charging her with drug possession.Denise M. Battles was released on a $500 non-surety

bond pending a Sept. 13 appearance in Manchester Superior Court. She is charged with possession of marijuana, possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

At the time of her arrest, Ms. Battles was a passenger in a car driven by David J. Dorvee, 27, of 110 Eldridge St. Police say they stopped Dorvee at 9:30 a.m. for a speeding violation on West Middle Turnpike.

Man hospitalizedA Vernon man was sent to Norwich State Hospital for

psychiatric treatment after an apparent suicide attempt at the Manchester police lockup.

Michael T. Daly, 25, was found in his cell around 3 p.m. Sunday standing on the toilet with a sock around with his neck, poiice say. Police say he had covered the bars o f his cell with a blanket.

Daly was being held on $5,000 bond after his arrest on a warrant charghig him with second degree larceny and third degree forgery. Police say the charges stem from his allegedly cashing a $430 check at the Savings Bank of Manchester on July 13.

Early stone carver here makes new book■■ J s open air museums

4 By Adele Angle '.’ Focus Editor

Call them Manchester’s <q>en air museums. They don’t have fund drives; nor do those who visit have to pay an admission fee. And they are known for their, well, deathly quiet.

But to a North Brookfield, M ass., couple, the tow n ’ s cemeteries are a treasure trove o f one of New England’s least ap­preciated folk arts — that of stone carving.

“ Most of the burying grounds around Manchester are full of carvings from the 18th century,” says Ann Parker.

Ms. Parker knows what she’s talking about. She and her hus­band, Avon Neal, are generally considered to be the country’s forem ost stone rubbers and lead ing authorities on New England gravestones.

TH E P A IR A RE the authors of “ Early American Stone Sculp­ture Found in the Burying Grounds of New England.”

The new book, due out Sept. 1, gives Manchester more than a passing reference.

In fact, there’s a double page spread on Peter Buckland, a stone carver who lived in the area between 1738 and 1816. (See related story)

T h e a u th o rs v i s i t e d Manchester years ago as part of the 25 years’ worth of research that went into writing the book. They v is ited both the East Cemetery on East Center Street and the West Cemetery, o ff of Spencer Street.

And, they say, there’s lots to look at here.

Back in the 1700s, when transportation was extrem ely l im its , stone carvers opera te , on a simple premise — they carved w hatever stone was available.

IN M A N C H E S T E R , th a t meant sandstone, often taken from quarries in nearby Bolton.

“ Y ou fin d san dston e in Manchester rather than slate,” says Ms. Parker.

Says Neal: “ ’The style of car­ving followed the material that was available. I f you had slate, you could do very fine detail. In Manchester you tend to get a bolder carving. You couldn’t get the fine detail but you could get a massive, strong look to the car­vings.”

E x p lo r e th e B u ck la n d Cemetery, or the East or West cemeteries, and you’re likely to see sandstone gravestones with angels’ wings and open Bibles.

Winged figures and a face with wings are also typical of the 18th century gravestones the pair has studied in this area.

The trees or weeping willows or urns you’re also likely to see represent a type o f stone carving which was in vogue much later on.

Not just Manchester, but all of Connecticut, the pair . says, is filled with interesting grave stones.

SAD LY, H O W EVER, some of the sandstone graves have not held up well over time.

“ Many' of them are literally crumbling,” Neal says.

That's why, if you decide to do a gravestone rubbing, it ’s wise to know what you’re doing.

T h e ir new book, by the way, may be beyond the budgets of most Manchester residents.

The deluxe edition — which is hand bound in full marbled calf with raised ribs and two signed rubbings, sells for $650.

There are only going to be 175 copies of the i>Mk sold. The book’s extra illustrated edition, which sells for $395.00, also con­tains a signed rubbing.

HERE ARE EXAMPLES OF EARLY MANCHESTER GRAVESTONES . . . Style marked by bold oarvlng.on red sandstone

THE AUTHORS, ANN PARKER‘AND HER HUSBAND. AVON NEAL . North Brookfield, Mass., couple mentions Manchester carver In book

Rubbing it in: do it yourself

Intrigued? Want to try to make a gravestone rub­bing of your own?

The technique is simple, says Avon Neal, co­author, along with his wife, Ann Parker, of “ Early American Stone Sculpture Found in the Burying Grounds of New England.” (Sweetwater Edition)

All you need is plain paper — newsprint is perfect — masking tape and hard crayons.

“ It ’s a simple process —the same as running a pencil over a coin as we did in school,” he says.

He quickly adds words o f caution.Don’t do a rubbing of a stone that appears to be in

poor shape. You might damage it further.Don’t mark the stone. Tape the paper around the

gravestone and go over it gradually with the crayon until the impression comes through.

And, it goes without saying, leave the cemetery as clean —or cleaner —than you found it.

A recommended book for beginners; “ Elarly New England Gravestones and the Men who Made Them” by Harriet Merrifield Forbes.

There, are three public cemeteries in town; the East Cemetery on East Center Street, the West Cemetery on Spencer Street and the Buckland Cemetery, across from Caldor’s. There are also two Catholic cemeteries in town; St. James Cemetery and St. Bridget Cemetery. The Cheney fam ily’s own cemetery is located within the East Cemetery.

Buckland was par

spellerHis grave lies somewhere.in

Manchester, marked by a plain sandstone slab.

The slab is a sad irony of sorts, because during his lifetime Peter Buckland carved dozens of gravestone markers in bold angel wings and fleurs-de-lis.

“ By the time he died it was past the style to do elaborate car­ving as he did,” explains Ann Parker, co-author of “ Early American Stone Sculpture Found in the Burying Grounds of New E n g l a n d . ’ ’ ( S w e e t w a t e r Eklitions)

Peter Buckland merits a two- page spread in her book, which is due out Sept. 1. He is one of 43 New England gravestone carvers to be so honored.

Stone carvers weren’t exactly high on the social scale in the 18th century. In fact, they ranked only slightly above grave diggers — they were not considered sculptors at all.

That’s perhaps why so little is known about Peter Buckland.

The book does say he lived between 1738 and 1816. He lived the latter part of his life in Manchester and died here.

He was an early member of the prominent north end Buckland family. His father was a weaver.

The Johnstone Quarry was close to the Buckland home. Peter and his o ld fr brother, William, probably came under the influence of stone cutters who worked there. The pair shared a common workshop for years, and . at age 25 Peter Buckland went into business for himself.

He worked in red sandstone and gran ite , using schist gran ite with a lot of shiny speckles in it — probably taken from quarries in Bolton.

He liked to use double hearts and fleurs-de-lis. Faces on the crown of his stones always looked very startled.

Peter was a terrible speller.“ A lot of stone carvers made a

lot of spelling mistakes but Peter B u c k l a n d m a d e th e m frequently,” Ms. Parker says.

A sample of Peter Buckland's work can be found in the old East Glastonbury cemetery. It is the grave of Deacon Daniel House, who died in 1762.

" I t ’s spectacular because he (Buckland) emblazoned his signature on the top of the stone,” she says.

In the same cem etery is another example of his work — the grave stone of the four Holmes children, who died very close together, probably from an epidemic, she theorizes.

The grave includes a carving of a little tree with four branches cut off.

's the best way to execute someone?There’s aa argument going on in

New J e r^ y about the best way to kill a person. The governor has signed a bill that would permit the execution o f . a murderer, but the bill can’t actually go into affect until the New Joraey L^gialature decides bow a priaoner would be pot to death, i .

There are 37 states that have the death paucity now- Eighteen havd approved the electric chair aa the n l i ^ Why to hiU a murderer, nine gas thein to death, four give them lethal iqiections, four hang than by the neck from a rope,-and Idaho sboots tbem. The governor o f New Jersey says he’s leaning toward the intravenous dpath method becauae it ’s the most humane.

‘ «r-l have such a vindictive streak In me that I am surprised' to find

penalty. Some days, getting back at someone is the most fun I have and yet I do not approve o f aodety !s put­ting anyone to death. Moat o f the people in the United States who do approve think o f themselves aa Christiana. I wonder whether Jesui jCSidiR would have jra ted .fg r Jir. a g id n s tu e death penhltyi I riwuld think the peiqile who w orth y Christ would suspect that he’d be against it. '

TH O SE O F YO U who a^irove of the death penalty might be able, to give New Jersey some advice on what you think the,best way is to execute som eone. E veryon e is always tooking for the most humane method, but i f you are among the people who think the death penalty la a detm en t to crime, putting someone to death in the most humane manner isn’t the best way to ad iieve your goal. I f you want to scare criminals o ff murder, majrbe you’d want to consider a law that would call for torturing them to death.

How about burying them in sand up to their china and leaving them out in the hot tun? I ’ve read where they do it that way In some Middle Eastern countries. That would sure deter any would-be murderer who can’t take the beat, 1 should think.

Another thing you riiould consider as a deterrent is the firing squad. I t ’s dramatic, it ’s long and drawn- out, and if you also made it man- datpry fo r the television networks to show I t on the even ing news, everyone would watch and think twice or perhaps even three or four times before murdering anyone.

I W O ULD N ’T want to be In the New Jersey Legislature If I had to decide which was the best way o f ' executing somone. When I was 8 1 was playing marbles with Buddy Duffield and he asked me, if I bad to kill either m y mother or my father, which would I? I rem em ber I refused to try to decide that, and I feel the, same way now about the death penalty. Being against the whole thing, I don’t have to decide which method of execution is best.

My objection to the death penalty doesn't come out o f any sympathy I have for the murderers. What I object to is making a murderer of anyone else. My objection could be eliminated, of course, by a simple addition to the capital punishment laws. Have the executions carried out by other people on death row who are already murderers. Make them strap the victims in the elec­tric chair and throw the switch. I f death is to come by hanging, make them slip the noose over the vic­tim 's head and drop him through the trap door.

To make capital punishment a real deterrent, there are a lot of things that should be done different­ly. Why give a murderer a “ last meal” ? Traditionally, the person about to die can have what he wanta

as_ his last meal. Suddenly we're being nice to this guy? And should a doctor be present? Why the minister or priest? A doctor is a saver of life. Does the clergyman ask God's forgiveness for the murderer? Does. God give it? I f God forgives hiftl, who are Christians to take his life?

MessageNobody’s perfect.But if you.want to be the most

perfect publicity chairman you can be, then come to a 'YWCA- sponsored seminar Sept. 22.

-Titled "Getting Your Message Across,” the seminar w ill be led by Focus Eklitor Adele Angle, f i le workshop w ill take place from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at thh YWCA, 78 N. Main St.

Fashion: barometer f* of economy '

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (UPI) - Next to gazing at the Big Board on Wall Street, a peek in your closet m ay be th e m o s t a c c u r a te barometer of the nation’s economy and philosophy.

“ The most personal, intimate item is your clothing. Therefore, It reflects the whole economy and the mood of the country,” says Lorraine Howes, chairwoman of the apparel design department of the Rhode I s la ^ School of Design.

Clothing designs from m ajor fashion bouses are practical but feminine — and versatile, conser­vative and timeless in the classic sense, she said.

■‘When we are conservative, per­sonally and politically, we always have more conservative fashions,” Mrs. Howes said. “We don’t have Ronald Reagan simply because he’s conservative; it’s because we are more conservative as a nation.

“ People aren’t buying trends. They’re buying the most practical clothes that they can wear again and again. We’re wearing what I would call real clothes.”

Mrs. Howes, a fashion critic and former owner of a Boston fashion house, said designers who are doing well during the recession are those who realize “the whole country is suffering economically and the goose isn’t laying the golden eggs. We just don’t go out and spend money wildly.’’

The school’s recent annual display of fashions designed and made by apparel students featured fewer of the outrageous, new wave designs of past «years. It focused instead on more sportswear and economical mix-and-match offerings.

Versatile linen, classic stripes and bold primary colors were the norm.

Among the offbeat designs were a Q-Tip mini-dress and a jacket made from anit-static cloths for clothes dryer use.

First lady Nancy Reagan is “very typical of the times,” Mrs. Howes said.

“Well, she’s perfect, because the average national age is going up ... and this beautiful, older woman — easily described as a lady in the old- fashioned sense of the word — is the epitome of what really is admirable in an older woman.”

“She shouldn’t be criticized (for ' accepting desiger clothing) because her clothing is forever,” Mrs. Howe said.

As for “in” fashions, “American design has come into its own. There's a spedal American look ... mix and m a t^ jackets, shirts and pants. Those are perfect for now. And that’s why the houses that sell those are doing so well.

“ Clothing, like any a rt form, expresses its time.

“The more outrageous, the less conservative clothing is not of this time. Though I suppose there are still a few punks out there,” she said.

Mrs. Howes said the nation’s current mood could pay dividends for American fashion houses, which traditionally have followed the lead of European designers.

“It's sobering, and I think it’s wonderful. I think the industry will improve from it all,” she said.

THIS PICTURE IS ON THE COVER OF TH E BOW ERS AND RUDDY AUCTION . . . coins are all of purely outrageous value

Coins of outrageous value whet numismatic appetites

This picture is on the cover of the catalog for the Sept. 21-23 Bowers & Ruddy auction. It is a good time to show such a display because Manchester coin people have been stirred but of their summer doldrums by big American Numismatic Society Convention in Boston last week. Usually the ANA annual meetings are somewhere in the far-off hinterlands but here was one right in our own backyard.

At first glance this shot may seem like just a potpouri of scattered coinage, but there are actually only five items — shown front and back — all of outrageous value.

At the upper left is a Pine Tree shilling (the first ones were made in 1652 and they used the same date over and over in later years to keep it “ legal” ).

Next is a Gobrecht pattern dollar, then the quarter with no stars beneath the flying eagle. Below we have an 1871 dollar struck in aluminum and finally a choice brilliant proof trade dollar.

Local collectors in attendance at Boston found many dealers in a mood of deal, and not snoot at counter­offers. One young member of our Coin Club, with a little dickering, picked up an XF 1902 dollar for 18 bucks instead of the expected $30.

There was some extra excitement on W ^nesday because of a stock market surge that brought silver and gold up along with it.

A Manchester investor reported that he had decided to load up with some one-ounce silver ingots a t $6 in. the morning, but when he went back to get them in the afternoon they were already $7.

The ANA, now with a membership of 42,000, was founded in 1891; got a 50-year federal charter In 1912 signed by President Taft; then a permanent charter in 1962 signed by JFK. A new brochure; “Membership Ad­vantages,” shows 38 entries.

They have a hefty monthly magazine, a circulating library of 10 to 12,000 volumes, (by mail), a museum (if you ever get to Colorado), a certification and grading service (but be prepared to wait a while), insurance plans and so forth.

The cost of belonging to the ANA is $20 the first year and $15 thereafter. (Write ANA Executive Vice Presi­dent, Colorado Springs CO 80901-2366.)

Collectors'Comer

IRuss MacKendrIck

Coming back to Bowers & Ruddy; This particular catalog Is most unusual In its scope. Besides the (spected coins and paper money offerings, you get early American Mint medals, early store card tokens, metal calendars, a selection of so-called dollars, world-wide medals, political and campaign tokens and ribbons, and early election ballots (a chance to vote for Jackson, Henry Clay, Polk, et al.). More; western states souvenir spoons, gold and silver coins of the world, and two old- time rare books for detecting counterfeite. There is a state by state offering of obsolete currency — here are three bills from Goodspeed’s Landing, Conn^ticut with an estimated valuation of $25 to $40. Estimates are given for all of the off-beat material.

The photographs are excellent throughout. Many are in color. For $10 you can get a copy of this catalog in Ume for bidding (they do it competiUvely for mail bidders). When the prlces-reallzed sheet arrives, you will have yourself a pretty good up-to-date textbook on Numismatology and a smattering of that weird wing of collecting called “Exunumia.”

WASHINGTON (U P I) - A laboratory-made love potion is bringing cotton bollworms and tobacco budworms together like never before but the “sexual chaos” of the mismatched romance is killing them. Farmers and scientists say the tragic ending is wonderful.

A griculture D epartm ent en­tomologists lured male cotton bollworms and female tobacco budworms together in testing fields in Texas with powerful laboratory sex a t t r a c t a n t s , know n as pheromones. But the potion left them unable — because of severely incompatible genitalia — to go their separate ways and they died locked together.

Researchers predicted the cross- mating might lead to new methods of natural pest control by disrupting the mating habits of the budworms, which attack tobacco, cotton and tomato plants.

“Such sexual chaos may open another avenue of natural pest con­trol,” the Agriculture D e^rtm ent said in a statement.

Researchers sprayed two types of p h e ro m o n e s on f ie ld s n e a r Brownsville, Texas and discovered the substances attracted male cot­ton bollworms to female tobacco budwmms, the departpaent said in a . statement Thursday.

The Insects’ problems began and ended w ^ they tried to mate.

Many hours, much patience are needed to train a dog

The number of 'zeros in a quin- UUion is 18. ,

Editor’s note; Joe Garman’s dog. Beau, celebrates his first birthday this week.

Since I’ve been working Beau, my fellow Labrador pup, with Tom Quinn supervising the training. I’ve sure learned a lot.

F irst of all, when it came to dog training, I know ab­solutely zilch. After getting Beau as a 4-month-old pup, I bought a book on training Labs and started boning up. The book, “Training Your Retriever,” by Jam es Lamb Free is a fountain of knowledge. From all I can gather It is and has been a classic for more than SO yeaps, and after reading it over and over I can see Why.

When you’ve hunted with the "finished product,” you realize that a lot of work has gone into training these hunting dogs. But until you start yourself, and work with someone who really knows what they are doing, a per­son really cannot appreciate the hours and the patience that goes toward making a dog just “yard broke” or_ obedience trained.

One of the most important tenets that Lamb Free and Tom Quinn stress over and over again is “repetition and memory.” I’ve also learned that each step in a dog’s training is like a piece of a Jigsaw puzsle, and as you put all the pieces together, building one on the other, you start to complete t|ie picture. But the road to covnple- tion can a l^ be rocky.

Each dog Is an indiviiM . and has hla or her o ro idiosyncrasies. The JigMw concept, ds preadied by, Tom, should produce a . good^ worWng somewhere along the line, some “bump to c ro M set the training back. Sometimes m o m e ^ rlly , sometimes showing up as a trait that cannot or will not be corrected.

BiU AspinaU, who also trains doge with Quto, with whom I’ve also worked, remarked Just the other day how frustrating some of the training cm get.

“You work with a dog and bring I to alcMi •baddng, pointing, and retrieving beautih^.

And that’s what we’ve been doing. It’s repetition and memory once again.

Rlght-to-lifers blast letter from Child on abortion

DEAR READERS! Recently a letter from Julia Child on the pnn life movement appeared in my column. Yesterday we heard from readers who support Julia’s com­ments. . Today the Ript-to-Lifers have their say.

DEAR ABBYt I am toe mother of an unwed, pregnant, 15year-oId d au p te r who decided to carry her > baby to term and offer it as a ^ to a very fortunate couple we know who cannot have a baby of their own.

My d au p te r realizes that as dif­ficult as it may he to give up her child a t hirth, it would be far more traumatic to spend toe rest of her life knowing that she killed hhr child because she didn’t want to accept the responsihility for her own ac­tions.

B ecause.of our situation, our family became heavily involved with the Right-to-Life organization. In fact, our daughter is now going out and sp ik in g to groups against abortion and giving h e r own testimony to support her views.

To Julia Child: Have you ever seen pictures of an actual abortion? If you could see those tiny arm s and legs being tom apart hy the suction process, or those little purple bodies lying lifeless after having been pulled from their mothers, you would change your mind about abor­tion. If you were the mother of a pregnant teen-ager, you would be moved to tears wondering if that in­nocent baby had inherited your daughter’s dimple or smile. And you allowed it to be killed because it m ip t embarrass the family!

It does my heart good to know that someone who has prayed for years to hold a baby in her arm s is going to receive a precious gift from my daup ter. I am proud that she did

not choose abortion. It may set her back a bit, but it will soon be over, and she will have learned a valuable lesson.MRS. T ., GARDEN GROVE,

CAUF.

DEAR ABBY: Regarding the letter from Julia Child, I submit an item from a Catholic publication:

“A professor of the UCLA Medical School asked his students this ques­tion. ‘Here is the family history: The father has syphilis. The mother, has TB. They already have had four children. The first is blind. The se­cond has died. The third is deaf. The fourth has TB. The mother is preg­nant. The parents are willing to have an abortion if you decide they should. What do you think?

“ Most of the students decided on an abortion.

“ ‘C ongratulations,’ said the professor. ‘You have just murdered Beethoven.’”JOICE IN CLEVELAND HEIGHTS,

OHIO

DEAR ABBY: This is for Julia C hild; I have never been in Memphis, so I was not one of those p ro -life rs who p icketed your demonstration for the benefit of Planned Parenthood. However, as one Smith graduate (B.A. ’66, Ph.D. ’75) to another, may I respond to

your letter in Dear Abby’s column:From the point of view qf a

healthy, wealthy, respected public figure like you, Julia, perhaps the child of a 15yearold retarded p i , whose mother was a syphilitic whore, or a child who happened to be the seventh offspring of a tuber­cular, abandoned welfare mother, ought to be killed for everyone’s convenience. But, if God forbid, you* should ever become inconveniently old or sick yourself, you may be glad that the R iptto-Lifers are still ac­tive.

Your questiqn as to who will provide sounds a little mean, since you certainly can afford to, but the answer is yes, the pro-life people — most of them — do provide. Just look in this newspaper’s classified section under “abortion clinics.”

And as for assuming responsibili­ty for these children’s lives, it may not be necessary. Example: The child of a promiscuous mother and an insane, syphilitic father assumed responsibility for an entire nation in World War II. His name was Winston ChurchillD IAN E dc A V A LLE-A R C E,

DURHAM, N.C.

I>E;AK AllltV: Julia Child is solidly pro-life when it comes to preparing good food, but a teacher of human morality, she is not!

Julia’s compassion for abused women and children is commen­dable, but to kill innocent children is an abominable punishment imposed on the wrong parties! In .socioiogy, .Julia should apply the same sense she u.ses in the.kitchen. Work with God to improve the quality of life in­stead of destroying it.

Walking is the key to losing weight without starving

DEAR DR. LAMB: I am a 45 year-old female with an overactive heart that sometimes beats too fast unless I continue to take heart medicine. I ’m on Jnderal three times a day. I’m also told to stay on a diet. I w e i^ 155 and am supposed to be down to 137.1 cannot seem to get there because I can’t exercise, I can only walk. I need to know whiat to \eat to keep from getting so hungry and weak.

DEAR READER: Your letter s trikes th a t fam iliar chord of weakness and dieting. I hope your story will help to warn people of the d a ^ e r of overdoing dieting, if they want to feel good.

You should be happy that you can walk. It is yourJtey to getting your w e ig h t dow n a n d p e r h a p s decreasing your tendency to have a fast heartbrat. Walking is ope of the safest exercises and it is a very good exercise.

At your present weight, if you could just walk four miles a day you would use the calories in a half pound of body fat every week. In 38 weeks you would be a t 137 pounds. A

four miles an hour you will use the same number of calories per mile regardless of speed. Remember you are interested in using calories, not training for the 105yard dash.

You could start with a half mile a day and build up. And you can break your four-mile walk into four one- mile walks and get the same results

Your d iet should be a well- balanced diet and you can probably consume as much as 1,800 calories a day and still lose weight if you walk. If not, you can c u t ' down your calories a bit more.

DEAR DR. LAMB: What is it that makes you itch? Not only the little ones but also the massive ones that won’t let you get to sleep until you scratch your whole back until it’s satisfied.

DEAR READER: Itching is caused by stimulation of nerve fibers, and the fibers are the same ones that carry pain sensation. An itch can progress in intensity until it causes pain.

The fibers can be stimulated by many things, including the swelling and chemical reaction in the tissues to an allergy, or rash from any' cause. It can be a response to dry skin, peeling skin as from a sunburn or a tissue toxin from a sting or bite. In other instances it is caused by chemicals or dusts or parasites in the skin or even fungus. Even ner- vious disorders can cause it.

There are many home remedies including a bath in oatmeal extract, applications of sodium bicarbonate, menthol dissolved in alcohol, witch hazel and Burow’s solution, to men­tion a few.

ThoughtsOur culture continues to imply

and sometimes state boldly that we no longer need the family. This column is an inquiry into what the family would look like in truly Chris­tian experience.' In the early church Christian con­

gregations met in every building available including private homes as the churches had no buildings of their own. The New Testament also reports many instances in the life of Jesus when He turned a house into a

church with his presence. All of those persons had a church in his or her house. We would want the same.

Christian life is natural to the fam ily . If the gospel can be proclaimed anywhere by word and deed it is in the family. The family moves people to seek first the welfare of others. The family is a place where members can be dis­ciplined by patience and forgiveness and without violence.

It is in the family that people dis­

cover giving one’s self away leads to life. The greatest person in the fami­ly is he who serves the most, unlike the standards of society. In the family happiness is living respon­sibility.

What we have said about the fami­ly applies to the church. To the ex­tent these values are realized, there is a church in the homes.T h e Rev. R ic h a rd W. D u pee North United Methodist Church

positive as you reach out to other people.

It may be that you never learned to express loving feelings to others. Your mother had problems in this area and perhaps there were no o ther role models for you to emulate.

I t is never too late to change but this Is going to take a lot of effort and courage — because you are going to have to change your view of the world from a place that is hostile and to rea ten i^ to one that has toe potential of being safe and loving.

You will most likely need to seek professional counseling to nnake that kind of shUt.

NCPAC denies it's out to getBy Richard Cody Herald Reporter

Dem ocratic U.S. Rep. Sam Gejdenson said Monday the National Conservative Political Ac­tion Committee and the Republican National Committee are out to get him in this election and either have been or will be tunneling money into his opponent's campaign.

In an in te rv iew w ith the Manchester Herald, Gejdenson con­firmed charges made in a fund­raising letter his office issued last week saying that both Washington- based “extremist” groups have targeted him for “political extinc­tion,”

A spokesman from the RNC said Republican, Anthony Guglielmo, Gejdenson's opponent, has been receiving help from the committee.

However, NCPAC, the group that has been criticized for “negative advertising" when targeting certain liberal elected officials, has denied any involvement in the 2nd District congressional race. Us spokesman said it appears Gejdenson is making the charge as a ploy to raise money

by attracting sympathy from the constituency.

“ HIS NAME has been tossed around here for some tim e,” NCPAC spokesman Joseph Steffan said Monday about Gedjenson. “But there’s been no targeting in that race. To me it sounds like a rally cry — ‘Help, the big bad NCPAC is going to get me, so I need money.’”

Gejdenson, meanwhile, has been receiving help from a liberal organization based in Washington, the National Committee for an Effective Congress. Its spokesman said Monday the committee has given just less than the maximum to Gejdenson’s campaign, $5,000, and has been assisting the freshman con­gressman with other facets of the race.

He said the committee on Gedjen- son’s behalf has also been soliciting political action committees in Washington for campaign donations.

Guglielmo's campaign director, Diane Locke, said today the RNC has given somewhere between $4,- 000 and $7,000 into the campaign to date. But she affirmed NCPAC’s stance and said Guglielmo has no in-

**There'$ been no targeting in that race. To m e it sounds like a rally cry: *Help, the big had NCPAC is going to get me, so I need themoney.

— Joseph S teffan

terest in taking money from any “extreme right” groups like the Moral Majority or NCPAC.

GEJDENSON SAID in the inter­view he is seeking television adver­tising since Guglielmo has taken that route.

Guglielmo ran advertising earlier this month criticizing Gejdenson's work, claiming the focus of con­gressman’s interests are not in the 2nd District. The ads emphasize Gedjenson’s involvement in passing resolutions like the “Day of the Seal,” and “Day of the Peach Week” implying that that’s the ex­tent of the congressman’s work.

his work beyond recognition with “negative advertising.” He said he helped improve relationships between the biggest business in the 2nd District, Electric Boat, and Washington officials.

Gejdenson said he had no evidence off NCPAC involvement in the 2nd District, but said the group acts covertly and will probably drop money into the camf^gn In the last few weeks before November, so the extent of the help won’t be known to the voters until just before the elec­tion.

He charged that Guglielmo was using the television advertising to attract money from the RNC. Re said after the Republican’s office takes a poll on the impact of the advertising, Guglielmo will then “go back to the RNC and say ‘Look, we spent $50,000 on negative adver­tising, and we were able to get Gejdenson down two points. Give us half a million dollars so we can knock him off.”

Ms. Locke said Guglielmo had no intention of taking the money late, and said Gejdenson uses the NCPAC issue “as a campaign tool. And it works. It gets him money.”

Council votes to increase officials' pay

COVENTRY — The Town Council voted Monday to adopt a proposed pay plan which would mean salary hikes for the town’s top administrators.

The plan, adopted by a vote of 4 to 1, would mean pay raises for the positions of police chief, town engineer, superintendent of streets, buildings official, town planner, and town clerk.

The proposal, drafted by John Thompson, former mayor of Manchester and now head of Public ^nd Private Management Consultants, indicated that current salaries of town administrators are not com­petitive with those in other towns.

“Salaries for Coventry administrators are below the average level,” said Town Council Chairwoman Joan Lewis. “In the future, our salaries will be competitive with other towns.”

Mrs. Lewis indicated that the positions of town manager, police chief, and town engineer were par- . ticularly underpaid. For instance, the study recommended that the position of police chief should pay a minimum of $22,400 per year. This would mean a salary increase of $2,690, up from a yearly salary of $19,- 710.

Former Police Chief Gary Sousa left the department early this summer after requesting a salary increase to a similar level, which was denied by the council.

“Gary knew that the study was being done when he left,” said Mrs. Lewis. “We couldn’t pull him out of con­text and give him alone a raise.”

Town Manager Charles W. McCarthy didn't recom­mend a salary hike for himself after reading the proposal. The report indicated that the town manager should make a minimum of $27,000 per year, McCarthy currently makes $26,650 per year. The council will con­sider the matter at the next meeting.

The council also voted to bring up the question of refurbishing fire engine No. 108 at a town meeting scheduled for Oct. 1.

The purchasing of a new compacter for the dump will also be discussed at that meeting. Such an appropria­tion, if exceeding $100,000, would go to a referendum.

Rivals face off for defense $

HARTFORD (UPI) — The fierce competition for federal defense dollars has sparked a letter-writing campaign to congressional leaders by rival contractors General Electric Co. and Pratt & Whitney Group, published reports today said.

General Electric accused its competitor of trying to circumvent the system which awards defense contracts.A spokesman for Pratt & Whitney denied the charge.

The letters are part of what members of Congress call “The Great Engine War of 1982” — an Air Force plan to open up the competition in January for an estimated $10 billion worth of fighter engine contracts over the next decade.

The Pratt & Whitney Division of United Technologies Corp. won the original contract for fighter engines ' several years ago. Its engine, the FlOO, faces a tough test against a new 28,000-pound-thrust GE engine, the FlOl DFE. .

Coventry PZC sets public forum

COVENTRY — The Planning and Zoning Commission • has scheduled a public hearing for Oct. 12 on a zoning' alteration making it possible for professionals to set up shop at home.

Current laws prevent such a situation in residential zones. If adopted, the change could be a precedent for the town, officials have said.

The commission also made no decision on a five-lot' subdivision on Judd Road applied for by Boud Associates on behalf of Selma Shimelman. It also made , no decision on the issue on discontinuing a portion o f ' Brigham Tavern Road.

BOSTON’S GLENN HOFFMAN SLIDES BACK SAFELY . . . Seattle first baseman Gary Gray awaits late throw

Nichols upstaged by Perry, umpire

SEATTLE (UPI) - Reid Nichols played some very good baseball but went virtually unnoticed amidst the controversy generated by Gaylord Perry.' The Boston outfielder smacked a

two-run homer in the eighth inning to lift the Red Sox to a 4-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners, then preserved the victory by throwing

'.out Dave Henderson at ^ e plate in the bottom of the eighth,

Nichols’ heroics, however, were lost in the storm when Perry, the 43 year-old Mariner, was ejected for the first time in his career for throwing a spitball.

Nichols started the controversy in the fifth inning when he asked home plate umpire David Phillips to check the ball. Phillips issued a warning to Perry and then in the seventh, with Rick Miller at the plate, Phillips tossed Perry from the game.

“He was warned for having a ' foreign substance on the ball and I t^ld him if it happened again — I don’t care how it got there — he would be ejected,” said Phillips.

“The question is, the flight of the ball by ifty judgmept. It was an il­legal pitch and it wasn’t only my judgment by the judgment of anybody out there who knows

baseball. It. was an obvious illegal pitch.”

Perry sharply disagreed.“Dave Phillips is a crusader and

he was out to get us,” Perry said. “He just wanted to stick it to us and he did — it’s as simple as th a t... no other umpire is as bad as Dave Phillips.”

Asked what Phillips said at the time of the ejection. Perry replied, “He said the ball did something. It was a fork ball. Bruce Sutter’s fork ball does that, too. Are you going to throw him out? He (Phillips) made bad calls all night.”

In between all the arguments, Seattle and Boston played an exciting game. The Red Sox broke a scoreless tie in the sixth when Miller walked and scored on a triple by Ckirqey Lansford.

Four teams remain alive in the annual Town Slow Pitch Softball Double Elimination Tournament as play resumes tonight at Charter Oak Park’s Fitzgerald Field with a doubleheader.

Only one of the four teams boasts a perfect record in the pqst-season play, Moriarty Fuel at 3-0. Farr’s, Main Pub and Washington Social Club all sport 3-1 won-lost records.

Last night at Fitzgerald, Farr’s posted two triumphs to stay alive. The Charter Oak League regular

. season winners defeated Tierney’s, second place entry from the same loop, 14-3, and then downed Nassiff Arms, 7-5. The Arms were second best in the Rec League’s regular

campaign.Ken Roback and Rick Burnett

each lashed out three hits in the romp over Tierney’s. John Fuller, Rick Burnett, Tom' Natalie, Ron Roy, Rob M igliore and Ray Fr^ericksen each collected two hits. Fuller slammed the only homer.

Kevin Keena homered and singled twice for the losers.

Roy, Roback and Migliore each were in the two-hit class against the Arms while Steve Cianci, Ron Frenette, Tom Perkowski and George Hanlon each collected two hits for the losers who led after one inning, 4-0.

Two runs in the sixth frame snapped a 5-5 tie and gave the North Enders their margin of victory.

Twin triumph was also achieved by the Socials at Robertson Park.

Washington had on its hitting shoes in the opener with a 12-2 troun­

cing of MMH/Main Pub. and followed up the 19-hit showing with a 24-hit effort in trimming Buckland Manufacturing in the nightcap, 17-3.

Swinging potent bats in the opener were Bill Wilson, Kevin Kelley and Steve Deyette, each with three hits, and John Jenkins, Jim Clifford, Bill Tomlinson and John De Angelis each added two safeties.

Dennis Wirtalla’s homer was one of six hits for Pub.

Second game offense for the Socials was led by Jenkins with four hits. Kelley add^ three more and Bill Currie, Wilson, A1 Robb, Tomlinson, DeAngelis and Don McAllister each stroked two blows.

Home run was produced by Jim McAuIey for Buckland. He also singled and Rick Krajewski lashed out three hits.

The Socials are the Nike League champs.

after singles by Gary Allenson and Glen Hoffman and another Miller walk, which came on Perry’s last two pitches and was finished by reliever Ed Vandeberg. Mike Stan­ton then came on for the Mariners and and walked Dwight Evans to force in a run and make it 2-0 Boston.

Seattle came back to take a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Manny Costillo and a two-run homer by A1 Cowens, his 17th of the season.

In the eighth, Dave Stapleton walked and Bill Caudill came in to face Nichols, who belted his third home run of the year into the left field seats.

In the bottom of the inning, Henderson walked and stole second and then attempted to score on a single by Paul Serna.

Tennis tourneys postponed^his weekend were

the annual Town Men’s and Women’s Singles Ten- nis Tournaments...but neither will get off the mark: there haven’t been enough entries.

Debbie Hebron of the Recreation uepamiiem said the scheduled first round action this weekend had been postponed but efforts would be made to set up new dates in late September and early Otober.

There are good reasons why fewer than 10 entries were received, Hebron said. It’s hot just that tennis interest among paricipants is on the decline.

No notices of the annual events were placed at stragetic points - the town’s recently completely, renovated tennis courts at Memorial Field, Charter Oak Perk and Robertson Park, and at Manchester Community College, which gets perhaps the heaviest use of any surface.

Flyers were not left at the Neipsic Tennis Club, whose membership includes a majority of members from Manchester, plus the Manchester Racquet Club,

In fact, no flyers were printed.Only adults, 18 and over, are eligible to par­

ticipate. This ruling eliminates a number of top­flight youngsters who may be the best in town.

Recreation membership cards were also required. This means every entrant must buy a $10 membership in order to take part.

A Rec card is good for one year and allows a player to be eligible to participate in any recreational program offered, such as softball,

‘basketball, volleyball.There is also a $3 entry fee, which is reasonable.But to have to pay $13 just to play in a tennis tour­

nament is questionable. The $3 isn’t scaring away tennis players but they will think twice before paying an additional $10.

Hebron said plans were being made to drop the mandatory Rec membership for a participant.

There’s some question of a tourney in late September. It won’t attract the young college students who have returned to the campus and are unable to get home on weekends to participate.

Advice from pros, like Jack Redmond at Neipsic and Dan Kennedy at the Racquet Club, on running a

Shinn then teamed with Steve Hadge of Manchester and the team was defeated in the Men’s Doubles finals by Vic Cruse and Jerry Fort in the East Hartford play. Mike Murray, former Manchester Community College star, copped the Men’s Singles crown. . .Mike Custer, town men’s singles tennis champ, has been on the instructional staff this summer at the Amherst Tennis Camp...Touring tennis pros Dick Stockton and JoAnne Russell will offer a free clinic Saturday at Elizabeth Park in Hartford (or youngsters at 10 followed by an exhibition at 11 of mixed doubles.

“They pulled everything and the ball just went,” said Leal, who entered the game 4-0 lifetime against New York. “The pitch to Nettles was a high slidw.’’

Reliever Dave LaRoebe earned the vietory with Rich Gossage notching his 28th' save. I

Toronto took a 1-0 lead in the first. Damaso Garcia hit a broken-bat single to left-center and Ranee Mullinlks followed with a hit-and- run single to right. Ernie Whitt’s groundnut scored Garcia, but New York tied it 1-1 in the third on a dou­ble by Koi Griffey and singles by Cerone and Mazzilli.

farfetched but they might make you sym pathize a bit with John McEnroe when a linesman makes an error. And you can be sure there will be some shenanigans next week at the U.S. Open.

That’s because tennis allows itself and its rules to be implemented by those who have no la s t ing professional relationship with the sport.

Tennis trumpets itself as a gentlemen’s (and ladies’) sport and attacks on the game aren’t taken lightly. The players are expected to behave like ambassadors of their sport and anything other than total subservience and obeisance to the game’s traditions and to its officials is viewed as treason.

But tennis is a sport of in­dividuals, not univacs, and there is much money and prestige at stake almost every week somewhere on the planet. But while the sport is p l ay ed and p r o m o te d by professionals, the milieu where the money is made, the court, is con­trolled by rank amateurs.

So how can you really blame a player for getting upset at a call? His ability to make a living is being decided by a lawyer, accountant or other tradesman who shows up at a match and tries to keep his eye on a line. In other words, someone total­ly disassociated from the game on the professional level makes the crucial decisions during a match. And all he or she has to do is miss one call.

This year, as every year it seems, there are problems with calls. Every time a player disputes a call, he or she normally does one thing before requesting a change: the

player goes to the spot and points out where the ball landed. '

The message is clear: The players know whether a ball is in or out. So why don’t they make the calls?

Tennis is played by millions of people every day and they do it quite nicely without linesmen and um­pires. If there’s a problem with a point, it is simply re-played. Why can’t the pros do the same?

“We should let the players call their own lines and if there’s a problem, let them beat the hell out of each other,” Jimmy Connors said recently at the Canadian Open. His first point makes sense.

Tenn i s is a ga m e of sp o r t sm an sh ip . Yet having amateurs make the key- decisions breeds unsportsmanlike conduct because they are going to make mis­takes and the players, justifiably, are going to geta mad. All the tan­trums McEnroe has thrown over the years cannot be defended, but how many would have occurred had the players been making the calls?

In no other major sport can such a scenario be drawn. Baseball, basketball and hockey ail have paid, fulltime officials. Football, a one- day-a-week sport, doesn’t, but its of­ficials are constantly lastructed on the rules of the game. In golf, theother major sport of indlvhtoals, theplayers police themselves.

What is the need for a linesmen in tennis? Are they are there to facilitate matters? If so, their mere presence invites controversy.Is their eye keener than that of an experienced player?

There is nothing so deflating as to have a brilliantly contMted match . marred by a controversial call.

TUMBLING SLIDE SCORES FOR CARDINALS Gene Tenace eludes tag of Dodgers' Steve Yeager

Braves in lead by single point

ATLANTA (UPI) - It Ukes a mathematician to figure it out but the Atlanta Braves have retaken first place in the National League West. >»

Chris Chambliss' RBI double in the ninth inning gave Atlanta a 4-3 victory over Philadephia Monday night and a 68-56 record for a .5484 winning percentage. Los Angeles, which bowed to St. Louis 11-3, fell to 69-57 or .5476.

Rounded off to three figures, however, both come out to ,548.

That still represents quite a com­eback for the Braves, who dropped 19 of 21 games and fell four games behind the Dodgers last week.

"We are showinga lot of class by coming back,” said slugger Bob Horner, who had two hits and drove in two runs against the Philiies. “We could have easily rolled over and died and gone into oblivion.

"We've got a good ballclub. If we keep playing like we've played the last five days, we should win this thing. But we cannot afford any more lulls like we've had.”

The last five days have seen the Braves take five straight one-run victories and Horner said that is the key to the pennant race.

“I think it will be the team that wins these one-run games that will take it,” he said.

Chambliss said the fact the Braves have played so many (they are 23-17 in one-run games this season) is a plus.

“We've been through those games before so we know what we have to do,” said the veteran first baseman. "This team as a lot of character. It's good to be back in first place but we have another tough game tomorrow.”

Atlanta held a 3-1 lead until the eighth inning when ex-Brave Gary

Matthews slammed a long two-run homer off Rick Camp, 9-7, to tie the score.

“I got that ball up and out over the plate about belt high,” said Camp. "You can’t make a pitch like that to Sweet (Matthews). He's a great hitter.”

With one out in the ninth, Homer hammered a single off the right field wall off Phils' reliever Ron Reed (3-4), another ex-Brave. Horner had to hold at first when righ tfie lder George Vuckovlch played the carom perfectly.

Chambliss then doubled over centerfielder Garry Maddox's head to score pinch runner Brett Butler from first with the winning run.

"I hit a fastball up and out over the late,” said Chambliss. “I wasn’t really seeing home run when I hit it, but it look^ like it was at least going to reach the fence.”

Camp, who had straggled recently while hampered by a stiff elbow, said the game was "probably the biggest I’ve pitched. The last two games I haven't pitched that well and I wanted to get a redeemer.”

It was only the second complete game of the season for Camp, who scttered nine hits, struck out two and walked two.

The loss dropped the Phillies three games behind the Cardinals in the NL East and Matthews, who had two hits includng his 18th home run, was looking forward to ending the current 14-game road trip which has two more games to go.

“We have a job to do and that’s to win,” said Matthews. “St. Louis is going on a long road trip. We have a

TORRINGTON, Conn. (UPI) - Raymond W. “Ducky” Pond, a retired Yaie University footbaii coach who gave former President Ford his first job during the Depres­sion, has died.

Pond died at his home Monday. He was 80.

Ford, during the 150th anniver­sary of Yale Law School in 1975, digressed from his talk to recall when Pond hired him in 1935 as junior varsity coach and chief scout on the Yale football coaching staff.

“Ducky gave me my first job after graduating from Michigan in June of 1935 during the depth of the Depression and I was darn glad to have a job,” Ford said at the time.“I worked for Ducky for five fopt- bail seasons and we developed a very warm and longstanding friendship.”

'Shotgun' out with ClevelandBy United Press International

Because Cleveland quarterback Brian Sipe came under much fire last year. Browns’. Coach Sam Rutigliano has decided to load the “shotgun.”

“We got an unusual amount of blitzing last year,” said Rutigliano, who was opposed to the formation in which the quarterback lines up several yards behind the center. “ This gives us an advantage because the quarterback can see the blitz coming. It also prevents the blind-side sack.

“The disadvantages are that a quarterback can’t focus upfield because he has to concentrate on catching the snap. It alsq takes away a large part of our running game.

“We may use it this Saturday against New Orleans, but we’ll deflntely work on it in the' last (exhibition game) against the Raiders.”

Sipe’s protection broke down last year as the Browns quarterbacks hit the dirt 40 times.

In other news:Free-agent Ken Stabler could join

the New Orleans Saints as a badcup quarterback. “If we signed Ken on Friday, he could play for us Satur­day,” Coach Bum Phillips said.

Stabler won approval from NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle to hook up with an NFL team, despite an in­vestigation of his alleged associa­tion with gamblers.

St. Louis rookie defensive lineman David Galloway will miss the nest six weeks because of a dislocated right elbow.

“I admired him as one of the most decent, nicest people I ever met,” Ford said. “He was extremely serious in his dedicaUon to a good footbaU program and was a good organizer. It was a great, great experience for me to be associated with such a fine person.”

Ford also rem em bered the coach’s lighter side.

“He was a fun loving guy and real practical jokester and loved to nee­dle his assistants,” Ford said. “You had to be on your guard aU the time.”

Pond, a native of Torrington, was captain of the Yale baseball team in 1925 and an outstanding back on the

university’s football teams in' 1924> and 1925. He joined Yale’s footbalT coaching staff in 1928 and was ap­poin t^ head coach six years later.

Braves capable o f comebackNEW YORK (UPI) — Bobby Cox, fired by them

last fall, was talkiifj; about the Atlanta Braves’ terrible slide like so many other people are. Somewhere in the middle of his remarks he came up with what has to be a minority opinion.

“ I think they’re capable of bouncing back and winning,” offered the best manager the Toronto Blue Jays have ever had, or at least the one who has given them some respectability even through they’re still trying to get out of the basement in the American League East.

With the Los Angeles Dodgers leading the National League West now after having trailed the then front-running Braves by 10V4 games only a few weeks ago, nobody really is giving Joe Torre’s bunch much chance of ever getting the lead back, but Cox doesn’t see why not. .

"There are 60 games left, aren’t there?” Cox said. “Do you know how many different things can happen in a stretch like that? The Braves have a good ball club. I know because I was over there four years. They’re completely capable of turning it around and winning it all. I’m rooting for them.”. Atlanta fans deserve a pennant winner, Cox said.

“Those people have suffered so much with clubs that just weren’t good,” he said. “The BraveS’ plan was to keep bringing up kids and let them develop and that's what happened.

“Ted Turner spent a lot of money on the farm • system. Now it’s beginning to pay off. Here’s my

view of the National League West: You can see some of the power teams like Cincinnati and Houston starting to crumble. Age has something to do with that and so has free agency. Then you’ll always get some established players who won’t play well in any given year.

“When the Braves started off the year winning their first 13 in a row, I honestly was happy for them,” Cox continued. “Pennants sometimes are won by doing things like that. Then when they hit that slump and couldn't get out of it no matter what Joe Torre tried, I was suffering along with him.”

Cox is tremendously enthusiastic about his Blue Jays even though they dropped a 3-1 decision to the Yankees Sunday and have lost ’.three out of four to them. What he’s so enthusiastic about is the un­mistakable signs they’re showing of finally coming together as a unit for the first time in their history after six consecutive last-place finishes, including two of them in last year’s split season.

“I’m really proud of our club,” he said. “We’ve got some players who you’re going to hear a whole

SportsParadeMilt RIchman

lot about for a long time to come. I’m talking about Damaso Garcia, Willie Upshaw, Lloyd Moseby, Barry Bonnell and Jesse Barfield, just to name a few.

“Right now, Garcia is in a class with Willie Ran­dolph and he gets better all the time. He’s got 45 stolen bases, makes plays around second base you can’t believe and has been over .300 all season long. Only once this season has he gone two games in a row without getting a hit.”

The Blue Jays’ primary objective is to get out of last place. Right now, they’re iVi games behind the sixth-place Indians and 5Vi behind the fifth-place Yankees.

Cox vigorously disagrees with those who believe the National League is superior to the American.

“The players over here in this league are every bit as good as those over in the National regardless of what keeps happening in the All-Star games," he insisted.

“There are some great ones here in this league. On one club alone like Milwaukee you’ve got guys like Cecil Cooper, Robin Yount, Paul Molitor and Gorman Thomas. And how about fellows like Geroge Brett. Hal McRae, Willie Wilson and Rickey Henderson? I can name you a lot more.”

Cox said it’s “more fun” managing in the National League because a manager has to make far more moves without the designated hitter.

“But I’m used to the designated hitter now,” he said. “It’s part of the American League and I think it’ll be here forever. They’d be crazy to vote it out because they’d only be hurting themselves.

“Now when a ‘position player’ no longer can play a position, they can move him to DH and he’s still an asset to the club, so I can’t picture the owners looking to do away with it. Having the DH also helps finding a place for players with long-term contracts.”

Soto gets disturbed by bench jockeyingBy Milt RIchman UPI Sporis Editor

NEW YORK — Someone who has been around awhile should tell Mario Soto the story of Juan Fizarro.

And when Soto finishes hearing it, he should listen to the one about Ivy Olson.

Those stories could help the Cin­cinnati Reds’ 26-year-old hard- throwing Dominican.

Emspecially this coming Friday night udien he’s due to make his next s t ^ in Philadelphia. Every time Soto goes against the Phillies, it’s trouble.

Dave Bristol, the Phillies’ third base coach, is as much responsible

. for tiiat as anyone else.Bristol really got to Soto in Sun­

day’s gam e In Cincinnati. He n e ^ e d and agitated him so much from the bench and the coaching box, Soto wanted to take him apart after the Phillies knocked him out in the fourth inning.

Soto's next start will be against ' ’the Phillies. He can bank on bearing ' inm e more from Bristol,' ' “We’rs trying to win a pennant,” “Bristol said when I spoke with him '‘- Moiday in Atlanta. ‘'Look, Soto is •^one of the best five pitchers ip the

league... if you don’t disturb him.” “Bench jockeying is part of the

'“gam e,” Bristol went on. “Or ifused ^ to be. Yog. should’ve heard Maueb, -Purodier and smne of those other

"guys get on m e when 1 first started, '“managing with Cincinnati. They -could tourii you up pretty good.”

Bristol has enormous respect for “Gene Mauch as a b«ich jockey.

though. That’s where that story about Pizzarro comes in.

“This all happened while Gene was still managing Minneapolis in the American Association,” Bristol said. “They were playing Louisville, a farm club for the Milwaukee Braves, and Pizarro wps pitching for Louisville. He had a two-hit shutout into the eighth inning.

“Mauch was coaching at third and going out there in the eighth, he happened to pass Pizarro. ‘I can’t understand why Charlie Dressen ever sent you down here,’ Gene said to him. He must have said to himself ‘What am I doing here in the minor leagues?’ He never got another hitter out and Minneapolis came on to win.”

Soto must be wondering what he can do now.

Maybe he should try Ivy Olson’s solution.

Olson played shortstop for the old Brooklyn D ^gers in the ‘20s and the fans at Ebbets Field used to ride him unmercifully because they would see they were getting to h|m. One day, Olson went to the drug store, got himself some cotton and stuck it in his ears. He never had any trouble again.

Bristol doesn’t see any great harm in what he’s doing, and I think I’d have to go along with that. Bench jockeying has always been part of the game although it can get rough at times.

State gaming officials checking ticket refunds

PLAINFIELD (U PI) - State gaming officials will investigate ticket refunds stemming from a switch of blanket numbers at the PlOirfield dog track last week which had dogs No. 6 and No. 6 running un­der each other’s numbers.

Neither dog won the KHb race Friday night when they w ere dressed in the wrong numbers by paddock workers, but the Division of Special Revenue will investigate the episode today.

The trade the next day offered to refund money to anyone holding tickets for the 10th race,.but by then m ost patrons bad thrown their

tickets away.N orm an DesCoteaux., who

oversees the Plainfield track for the gaming division said maintenance workers swept up discarded tickets — some worth as mUch as 870 for exotic or combination bets — and later obtained refunds.

Louis Fiocchi, the division’s gambling regulation chief, said he found it hard to believe anyone swept up tickets to be refunded, but said the agency would check out the report anyway,

“I’ve long passed the stage of dis­believing anything,” he said Mon­day.
