Route 83 bond plan supportedBy John F. Kirch Herald Reporter

HARTFORD - Showing legisla­tors a photograph of local residents fishing in a large puddle on state Route S3, Sen. Carl A. Zinsser, R-Manchester, asked the (leneral Assembly's Transportation Com­mittee Monday for state funds to reconstruct a part of the road that Is prone to flooding.

"A picture’s worth a thousand words," Zinsser told members of the committee during a public hearing on the bill at the Capitol. " I ’ll really tell you, we need this one and we need it bad.”

During the hearing, Zinsser and Other lawmakers from Manches­ter lobbied in favor of a bill that geeks (2.2 million in stete bonding to finance improvements to a stretch of Route (3 between Taylor Street in Manchester and Welles Road in Vernon. The section, about sixth-tenths of a mile, narrows from four lanes to two lanes and is the frequent site of flooding following rainstorms.

Town Manager Robert B. Weiss told the committee that the money was needed to “ once and for all get rid of this problem."

Zinsser laid that state funding . baa gone to improve other areas ot Route O and additional problems have been caused by traffic coming from Interstate 84, which is c u r r e n t l y u n d e r g o i n g improvements.

"The state never finished widen­ing that road,” Zinsser said. “ We really need it.”

The bonding bill was introduced by Zinsser and was co-sponsored by Rep. Elsie L. Swensson, R- Manchester, Sen. James D. Giu- lietti, R-Vernon, and Rep. Robert B. Hurd, R-Vernon.

Swenason stressed the possible tourism that could be generated fpr the state should the improve­ments be made. She said there are three hotels in the area as well Ss tourist attractions. I f the area were developed right, it could generate taxes and other revenues for the state, she said.

“ Why allow the public to fly by to Sturbridge, M ass.," Swensson said. "W e have a beautiful area where we can keep tourism right in our own state. Cars turn around and go back on the highway when they see the condition of that road."

Swensson also delivered a letter frorti about 35 business owners in the area who have asked the state for the funding. Business owners have complained about the poor drainage and have said that newer developers are being kept out of the area because the state is .requiring them to make the improvements to the road.

In October, the Konover Devel­opment Co. of West Hartford scrapped plans to build a 90,000- square-foot shopping center on iToUand Turnpike "because the ’state Department of Transporta- -tion wanted it to furnish improve­ment plans for Route 83. The

Indicators show biggest decline since April ’85

New man In StockholmSweden’s new Prime Minister, Ingvar Carlsson, makes his way to goverment headquarters Monday closely followed by a police bodyguard. Security will remain beefed up in the wake of Olof Palme's assassination on Friday. Story on page 5.

WASHINGTON (UPI)— The governm ent’ s leading economic indica­tors declined by 0.6 per­cent in January, the biggest drop in eight months, the Commerce Department said today.

The composite index of leading indicators fell from a high of 174 in December to 173, the biggest month-to-month decline since April 1985, according to the depart­ment's Bureau of Eco­nomic analysis. *

The figures, which pro­vide the broadest gauge of future economic activ­ity, reflect the overall growth of the economy since the base year of 1967, which equals 100 on the index.

Revised data showed the index increased 1.5 percent in December, the largest month-to-month gain since June 1983.

The January decline was due in large pact to a drop in plant equipment orders, analysts said.They said the decline was not suprising following a freak De­cember boom precipitated by Japan’s large-scale order of commercial air­craft to Boeing Corp. of Seattle.

A change in credit outstanding, net business formation, money supply and the average workweek also conributed to the decline, according to the report."The index, which is used to help

forecast domestic economic activity three to six months in advance, ,reflected gains in five other areas: Manufactuers’ orders for consumer goods and materials, average weekly

claims for unemployment insurance, building permits, stock prices and sensitive materials prices.

Excluding the plant and equipment orders and contracts, the index de­clined by a scant 0.06 percent in January.

‘ 'An occasional setback in the index is not unusual during expansion periods,” commented Commerce Secretary Mal­colm Baldrige. “ Even with this set­back, the index rose at an annual rate of

Religious leaders hit president over Contra aidWASHINGTON (AP) - Nearly

200 religious leaders, including bishops of some of the nation’s largest denominations, are accus­ing the Reagan administration of lying about Nicaragua to justify efforts to overthrow the Sandinista government.

“ A scaffold of deception is being constructed around Nicaragua," Catholic, Protestant and Jewish leaders said in formally declaring they will fight President Reagan over new congressional aid for

' Nicaraguan rebels.In a atatement scheduled for

delivery today and distributed to reporters Monday, they accused the administration of ignoring worthy Sandiniata peace initia­tives — seeming to prefer "the financing of terrorism to the pursuit of peace” — and of covering up reports of human rights atrocities by rebels backed by the U.S. government.

“ We refuse to allow the decep­tion to go unchallenged or to accept

Shultz continues lobbying on HillWASHINGTON (UPI) - Secretary of State

George Shultz picks up the administration’s public relations and lobbying blitz for $100 million in aid to the Nicaraguan Contras with an appearance today on Capitol Hill.

Shultz voiced support for the aid in a speech ta the Veterans of Foreign Wars this week and testifies today before the House Appropriations subcommittee of foreign operations.

The White House, which announced the proposal last week, has made the $100 million package the centerpiece of its entire $1.3 billion aid package for Latin America.

. Preaident Reagan insisted Monday that U.S. support is vital for the Contra movement to be sustained and argued defeat by Congress “ could well deliver Nicaragua permanently to the communist bloc."

"Those who would invite this strategic disaster by abandoning yet another fighting ally of this country in the field will be held fully accountable by history,” he warned.

Flanked by rebel leaders Arturo Cruz, Alfonzo Robelo and Adolfo Colero, Reagan escalated hia drive to renew a flow of military assistance halted by Congress in late 1984.

the senseless violence,” the state­ment said. “ Together we say, ‘In the name of God, stop the lies, stop the killing.'”

Signers of the statement in­cluded 21 Roman Catholic, Metho­dist, Episcopal and Lutheran bi­

shops, top officials of the United Cniurch of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the Mennonite Church, the Unitarian Universalist Association, the Na­tional (^uncil of Churches and more than a dozen Jewish rabbis.

Also today, as part of a national campaign called “ Crosses of Sor­row and Hope," organizers said that in Washington and more than 75 other cities crosses were being displayed bearing the names of Nicaraguan civilians they said had

been killed by U.S.-backed rebels since last June.

Today’s declaration came one day after Reagan, intensifying hia own drive to win $100 million in U.S. aid for the rebels, said denying the aid could lead to establishment of Soviet military bases "on America’s doorstep."

In addition to denomination heads, signers of the statement included seven seminary presi­dents and representatives of 50 religious communities or orders, organizers said.

One signer, the Rev. Jim Wallis, editor of Sojourners Magazine, said in advance of the statement:

“ Right now we are appealing to members of Congress to do what they know is right — to oppose administration plans to fund the Contras, to stop the war of terror being waged with U.S. tax dollars, to speak truth to the misinforma­tion and-outright falsehood being p r o m o te d by the R e a g a n administration!”

Arms negotiations end, but accord is eiusive

G ENEVA, Switieriand (U P I) - U.S. and Soviet negotiators today ended the latest round — and the first year — o f the new arms U lks without any breakthrough on reducing nuclear arseDBis.

They agreed to resume talks on May 8, meaning a break of nine weeks — the longest recess since talks first began on March 12last year. , J. .. j

Soviet delegation leader Viktor Karpov blamed the United States for the lack of concrete progress.

“ We cannot boast of any achlevemenU but that la not our fau lt," Karpov told reporten alter a concluding plenary meeting. "W e hoped for a cooperative U.S. spirit but unfortunately we didn't have it.”

Velvet Mill conversion is approved by zoners

TODAY’S HERALD

The Planning and Zoning Com­mission approved the conversion of the former Velvet Mill on Elm Street into 210 apartments Mon­day, 11 days after it delayed action on the plans because of concern about future traffic problems in the historic district.

Before voting at the meeting in the Lincoln Center hearing room, commission members studied four traffic reports that had been prepared by the town, the state and a private consulting group hired by the developers.

The reports were distributed last week by Planning Director Mark Pellegrini after members of the PZC and representatives of the

developer — the Velvet Mill Limited Partnership — got into a heated discussion over the impact of development in the mill area on traffic.

Stephen F. Mitchell, director of traffic engineering for Fuss It O ’Neill Consulting Engineers of Manchester, which did a traffic study for the developers in Janu­ary 19Se, attended Monday’s meet­ing to answer any questions the commission might have.

During hia presentation, Mit­chell said that a reaidential area in the historic district would generate less traffic than industry pre­viously had.

PEOPLEGrinches get older

Dr. Seuss. whose Grinch and other characters are beloved by children, has turned his attention to a new group of readers — former children.

The result, published to coincide with the author's 82nd birthday Sunday, is “ You're Only Old Once." the first adult book in almost 50 years by Theodore Seuss Geisel, whose pen name is Dr. Seuss.

But is ,it really an adult book?The outgrowth of Geisel's trips to the

hosimal for heart problems and other ailments. "Y ou 're Only Old Once" tells the woeful tale of an elderly patient's trip to a typically Seuss-like hospital, the “ Golden Years Clinic on Century Square for Spleen Readjustment and Muffler Repair."

The book adheres to the usual Dr. Seuss format, with whimsical illustrations and a cast of characters that would fit nicely in "The Cat in the Hat" or "Yertle the Turtle."

Samantha recalledActor Robert Wagner is planning to

produce a film on the life of Samantha Smith, the 13-year-old from Maine who played one of his two daughters in ABC's “ Lime Street" series before she died in a plane crash last summer.

“ It's in the preliminary stages and nothing has been done as yet." Lucille M arois of Rogers & Cowan, the firm that handles Wagner's publicity, said Monday.

She said Wagner intends to meet with Soviet officials to discuss plans for the two-hour movie, which will portray Saman­tha’sJ983 tour of the Soviet Union as a young peace advocate and her emergence as an international celebrity.

She was returning home from filming a “ Lime Street" episode last August when she. her father. Arthur Smith, and six others died in a Bar Harbor Airlines crash in Auburn.

District setivist s©6ks new vot© on fir©hous© in Buckisnd. By GMrgt Lovng - Horald Roporttr

An Eighth UUliUes District activist said Monday he plans to start a petition drive calling for a special election on whether to sell the town’s Buckland firehouse

-■because a vote last November on " the matter excluded district . residents.: E . Steve Pearl of Hollister Street■ said the decision was prompted by : the rejection of a complaint he filed ;Nov. IS with the state ElectionsEnforcement Commission about

: the November referendum. Pearl, ;who wanta district residents to ; participate in another vote, said 'that although his complaint was■ rejected Friday, he was encour- .' aged by the commission’s conclu- ;sion brcause it said the town. • violated the spirit of state law by ! excluding district residents from ; the vote.

“ As the warning of the referen­dum did not specify that resident electors of the Eighth Utilities' District would not be permitted to vote thereon, a violation of the spirit of Section 9-309, General Statutes, was committed,” the comniission said in ita decision.

The commission said it rejected Pearl’s complaint because it did not have jurisdiction over the inatter. It suggested that be file a liawsuit in either federal or state court.

However, the commission said the town had “ no authority’ ’ under state law to divide Manchester’s voting districts for the referendurti and said the town should have “ sought the advice of the Office of the l^ reta ry of the State concern­ing the procedures required for the conduct of this referendum.”

JEFFREY GARFIELD, thecommission’s executive director

and general counsel, said this morning that it was “ improper” for the town to set up separate voting machines for district resi­dents which did not include the firehouse question.

He added that the town’s deci­sion to exclude district residents from the vote was “ not based on any specific state election law.” He said current statutes do .not cover such a situation and any decision regarding the legality of the town’s action would have to be decided by the courts.

However, Town Attorney Kevin O’Brien this morning defended his opinion that the vote on the firehouse question had to be limited to voters of the town fire district.

“ I’m confident the the town will prevail if the matter goes to court,” she said.

The town attorney added that

there is no law prohibiting the town from excluding district residents, or having separate voting ma­chines for them.

O’Brien said the connmission went beyond its authority in commenting that the town violated the spirit of a section of the General Statutes in not specifying In the legal warning for the election that Eighth District voters would not be permitted to vote on the firehouse question.

PEARL SAID he will first petition for a special vote on the firehouse in which district resi­dents can participate. Under the Town Charter, 5 percent of the electorate must sign the petition in order for a referendum to be held.

Pearl warned that if the petition drive falls, he will file a lawsuit against the town. He said that attorneys with the state Elections Enforcement Commission told

him he would have a good case if he did go to court.

The longtime district activist, who heads the Connecticut Tax­payers Association, said he will speak Wednesday night at a rally teing held by the citizens’ group STEAL — Stop Tampering with the Eighth’s American Liberties — in order to build support fof the petition drive. STEAL is trying to stop attempts by majority Demo­crats on the town Board of Directors to change sections of the Town Charter In order to make it easier for consolidation to take place between the town and the district.

Pearl said he has the support of STEAL Chairman Robert Bletch- man, a Manchester attorney, and said STEAL will help with the petition drive. Pearl said he is currently working on the wording of the petition question before o««ompting to gather signatures.

Bletchman could not be reached for comment this morning.

DISTRICT RESIDENTS were excluded from last November’s referendum after O’Brien ruled they-could not vote because they did not pay to have the firehouse built.

Residents of the town fire district were asked in the referen­dum whether the town should continue to operate it* firehouse on Tolland Turnpike, which is locat^ in an area now served -by the Eighth District’s volunteer fire department. ResidenU voted by a large margin in favor of continuing to operate the firehouse.

District attorney John D. La- Belle Jr. agreed with O’Brien’s opinion that the vote should be limited to residents served by the town fire department, O’Brien said.

Shopping c©nt©r plans r©c©iv© boost.By John F. Kirch Herald Reporter

Developers Richard Hayes and Myron Kaufman were granted a special exception by the Planning and ^ning Commission Monday night that puts them one step closer to building a shopping center on Tolland Turnpike.

After a public hearing at Lincoln Center, the commission unanim­ously approved the special excep­tion, which was required because the developers want to build on more than four acres and construct more than 60 parking spaces.

Hayes and Kaufman are propos­ing to build a 156,000-square-foot

’ shopping center — called Hear- ! tland Plaza — on Tolland Turnpike ; near it* intersection with North

Main Street.Rickel Home Centers and the

: Heartland Food Warehouse have : made commitments to locate

stores in the center. Hayes has said, and a number of smaller, local stores are being sought to fill the rest of the space.

The shopping center would have a small entrance from North Main Street and a major driveway from Tolland Turnpike. It also would share an entrance with the Georgia Pacific plant, which is located just to the east of the Hayes’ site.

Manchester attorney Leonard Jacobs, who represented the devel­opers during the hearing, said there would be no major traffic imp>^ct as a result of the proposed c- nter. Jacobs said the area sees traffic from the Caldor plaza located just down the road and that traffic would move between that shopping center and Heartland Plaza without much additional impact.

But one Tolland Turnpike resi­dent said the traffic was bad and questioned the impact of a new shopping center.

in Ollier aciion, the PZC tabled a request by Donald Gliha to open a golf driving range on Hillstown Road after area residents said they opposed the idea.

Gliha, whose lawyer, Dominic J. Squatrito, said was a professional golfer, had proposed to place a driving range on about 10 acres at 460 and 460 Hillstown Road, which is zoned Rural Residence.

GUba’s parents own.the two single-family houses on the site, Sqliatrito said. The plans show 25 tees facing southwest on the site. Squatrito said that netting would be put up to catch stray golf balls, adding that there would be no night play and no food.

But residents who attended the public hearing and the planning staff opposed the driving range because they said it would consti­tute a business use in a residential zone.

Assistant Planning Director Carl A. Zebb said that a driving

range could affect the value of abutting property, much of which is not developed.

Residents said heavy traffic would make the road even more dangerous than it is now.

In other business Monday, the PZC:

• Approved a final site plan for Visions Unlimited Inc. that allows the company to place 12 residential units in two buildings at 84 Summit St. Six units would be placed in the former Gammons Hoaglund ma­nufacturing building and six in a proposed 6,000-square-foot apart­ment building. The land is zoned Planned Residence Development.

• And approved a subdivision of two lots for developer Joseph L. Swensson Jr. on 1.17 acres at the comer of Spring Street and Tam Road. Swensson plans to build two single-family houses on the site, which is zoned Residence AA. He has said that the houses would be in the $100,000 price range.

By Alex GIrelll Associate Editor

There was n^indication at a joint meeting of the Board of Education and Board of Directors Monday night that the proposed $27.7 million school budget is likely to be cut very much.

And School Superintendent James Kennedy said that budget­ing demands resulting from in­creased salaries — which account for 74 percent of the $2.86 million increase in the spending proposal for the fiscal year that begins July 1 — will carry over into the following year because the Board of Education has entered two-year contracts.

The trend for educational salary increases will continue for another year or two after that, he predicted.

Town Manager Robert Weiss, who has not yet reviewed the Board of Education budget prop­osal, said he does not think he will make any drastic cuts and may pass the request on to the Board of Directors intact as he did last year.

But Weiss said the public must be aware of what the higher school budget will mean. The increase will amount to 4.47 mills in the new tax rate, a figure that will be reduced to 3.28 mills if the state budget proposed by Gov. William O’Neill with its grants to munici­palities passes, he said.'

WEISS SAID the town is facing tremendous physicaf growth.

"We must do more to provide appropriate inspection services. My budget will addrras that problem,” he said.

Of the coming increases, Weiss said: “ The public has to realize you can’t do it with mirrors.”

During the meeting in the Manchester High School library. Mayor Barbara Weinberg called on members of the Board of Education to promote support for the increased budget among the town’s citizens.

T m not sure what the reason is, but education is on a roll,” said Deputy Mayor Peter DiRosa. However, he said the public enthusiasm for improved educa­tion may suffer a setback when the time comes to pay taxes.

“ Remember to reinforce the need for improvement with eve­ryone you talk to,” he told school board members.

Three town directors — Demo­cratic Majority Leader Slephen Penny, Kenneth Tedford, and

Stephen Cassano — did not attend the meeting. Ten members and members-elect of the Board of Education were present.

In a presentation to the Board of Directors that preceded the discus­sion, Kennedy limited his com­ments almost entirely to the the reasons for the $2,862,340 increase in the budget for next year over the current budget.

USING A PROJECTOR and computer graphics, Kennedy showed that teacher salaries ac­count for 52.69 percent of the

.increase, other salaries 21.31 per­cent, social security and health benefits 8.6 percent, utilities 4.72 percent, supplies 3.86 percent, tuition outside Manchester 2.54 percent, program improvements 3.49 percent, buiding renovations 1.08 percent, and other expenses 1.71 percent.

He said there will be no increase in pupil transportation costs.

School board Chairman Leonard Seader said the directors will also be getting a request for money to make repairs in four old elemen­tary schools. The Board o f Educa­tion and the Building Committee have been paring the costs of that work, which was orignally put at $12 million.

Joseph Camposeo, chairman of the school board finance commit­tee, urged the directors to accept the budget as presented.

Kennedy said that $27.8 million is a lot of money, biit it provides services for more than 7,000 students.

AMONG THE improvements, he said, are plans to start instruction on foreign languages in the seventh grade instead of the eighth grade, plans to continue major revisions that have been under w ay in the mathematics program and plans to make an effort to reduce class sizes in the first grade toward the ideal of 20 per class.

When Weinberg asked Kennedy if the school system is doing enough to challenge gifted stu­dents, he said the gifted program is moving forward but that it is difficult to say what is “ enough.” He said there is some philosophical question about the wisdom of pulling gifted students out of regular classes.

Like DiRosa, Kennedy hailed the status of interest in improved education.

“ This is the first time I've seen gut-level politicians like governors take leadership in education at state levels,” he said.

Parking lot incident leads to drug chargesA Tolland man has been charged

with possession of one gram of cocaine after police observed him snorting the drug in a parked car at the Manchester parkade, police said Monday.

Police said Wade M. Mishler, 28. of Tolland, was charged with possession of cocaine and posses­sion of drug paraphernalia in connection with the Friday night incident.

Wade, and a Windham woman were observed by undercover officer* in the parking lot in front of a Parkade nightclub that police said “ is known to be a location where numerous narcotic viola­tion* take place.” Police said they observed the two bend over and look at something in their lap, which police said led them to believe cocaine was being snorted.

Upon approaching the two, a one-half gram packet of the drug was discovered in Mishler’s shirt, and two one-quarter gram packets of cocaine were found in the car, along with a razor blade and a short straw, police said. Mishler also admitted to purchasing the drug earlier in the evening, police said.

The woman was not charged. Mishler was released on $1,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Manchester Superior Court on Wedn^ay.

A. Center Street man has been charged with driving while intoxi­cated and following too close after he smashed into the rear of a car stopped for a light at Main and Center streets early Saturday morning, police said Monday.

Police said Joseph P. McCourt, 26. of 343 Center St., was arrested after he failed, field sobriety tests and measured .227 on the breath test. A person is considered legally drunk if his blood alcohol level measures .10, police said.

McCourt was not injured in the 2 a.m. accident, but he was “ barely understandable when he spoke" and could not say the alphabet or count satisfactorily, police said.

The driver of the other vehicle, James P. Sacks, 27. of Vernon, the managing editor of the Herald, had just left work when the accident occurred.

McCourt was released on a written promise to appear at Manchester Superior Court on March 10.

SOUTH WINDSOR — South Windsor police are investigating a

head-on collision on Buckland Road early Sunday morning in which six people were injured, police said Monday.

Police said a pickup truck with five people was traveling north­bound and collided with a car traveling southbound at about 1 a.m. One of the passengers in the truck had to be flown to Hartford Hospital by the Lifestar helicopter, police said.

Some of the victims were treated at Manchester Memorial Hospital, but police did not say who, how many, or what their injuries were. The names of the victims are not being released until their relatives are notified, police said.

Both paramedics from the town fire department and firefighters from the Eight Utilities District responded to the ac^dent.

Continued from page 1

According to Mitchell’s study, which monitored vehicle move­ment during peak hours, 219 vehicles were estimated to have entered and exited the area around the Velvet Mill during the morning when ' the site was used for industrial purposes. If it is used for housing. Mitchell said, 61 vehicles would move in and out between 7: IS and 8:15 a.m.

In the evening rush hour, Mit­chell said, an industrial site is estimated to have 214 vehicles coming in and out. Only 87 vehicles are predicted to move through the Velvet Mill area if it is a residential section.

He said that at major intersec­tions in the historic district, the level of service would not change from its present level after the building was occupied.

The level of service is measured by the average delay a vehicle experiences at an intersection, Mitchell said. An “ A” level is the lowest amount of traffic and an “ F” would be the heaviest. Most intersections in the historic district would be at “ A” level, he said, with the exception of one. That intersec­tion. at Pine Street and Hartford Road, is presently at “ D” level. Mitchell said the Velvet Mill conversion would not increase traffic at that intersection.

The town is planning to make improvements to the roads in the historic district as the area grows.

When it met 11 days ago, the PZC delayed action on the conversion of the mill at 60 Elm St. because members said they wanted more information about traffic. Three other conversions are taking place in the district, and commission members said roads in the district might not be able to handle the extra vehicle load.

The developers argued at the meeting that the commission has known for years that the former manufacturing center was being turned into a residential district.

The developers also said at that meeting that Manchester Police Chief Robert Lannan had made an extensive traffic study on the area and had given his approval to the project. But PZC member Leo Kwash said he had “ no faith" in the police chief’ s study.

Kwash retracted his comments' about the police chief Monday before the commission took a vote on the Velvet Mill site plans and added this morning that he had intended no malice.

“ My remarks about the chief of police and his authority were inaccurate,” Kwash said at the PZC meeting. Kwash had said that Lannan approves any traffic study given to him.

Route 6 opponents hit DOTs actions at strategy session Astronauts await panel’s findingsBy Gcorae Layng Herald Reporter

ANDOVER — A request for an Injunction to prevent the state from acquiring property and houses in the path of the proposed Route 6 expressway will be filed by Marcli 14 in federal court in Hartford, the attorney who repres­ents opponents of the highway said Monday.

South Windsor attorney Jon Berman said he is drafting a formal complaint arguing that the state Department of. Transporta­tion ignored alternatives to the highway and failed to await final approval of the project before attempting to take property.

“ After 15 years of its own delays ... they can’twaitsix months or one year to see if the permits can be obtained." Berman told about 60 people who gathered at the An­dover Congregational Church Monday night to map out a strategy to fight the proposed 11.8-mile highway from Bolton Notch to Columbia.

"It's hard to believe the state is behaving this way." he said.

DOT officials said in January they planned to acquire property before receiving environmental permits from the state Depart­ment of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The two permits are the last hurdles remaining before work on $170 million road can begin.

DOT OFFICIAL James Bums, who tried to attend the meeting but agreed to leave after learning that highway opponents were going to

'ghway plans shake ‘peace and quiet’ANDOVER — Francis Mullen

of Bunker Hill Road in Coventry will lose hisiiQme of 40 years, a bam and eight acres if the proposed Route 6 expressway is built.

Mullen, 76, said he moved to his farm because he thought “ out here, you’d never be bothered — peace and quiet — and lo and behold, they take it away." He said his home overlooks a hill and has “ a beautiful view — that’s what they’ re taking away."

He is one of 136 property owners who will lose all or some of their land if the first 3.3 miles of the highwayJs built. Mullen attended Monday’s meeting at the Andover Congregational Church held to organize a

strategy to fight the project.Also In attendance was his

neighbor, Larry Warren, who lives with his wife, Elizabeth, in a 175-year-old house on Bunker Hill Road in Andover, just over the border from Mullen. I f the road were built. It would run just in front of his house, which would not be taken by the state Department of Transportation.

However, Warren fears living next to the highway would be worse than being forced to move.

"M y nightmare would be during the construction of this thing,” he said. Warren said he would have to contend with possible dynamite explosions, increased traffic and other loud construction noises.

One of the other 60 or so people who went to Monday’s meeting was Edward Turn of Times Farm Road in Coventry. Al­though he would not lose any property to the project, he agreed to sign up as a plaintiff in the suit being p repar^ against the state DOT.

" I don't personally see any benefit," he said. Turn has lived at his house for 24 years. He was slated to lose his property under previous plans for the highway.

Turn said he still is fighting the highway because of the negative impact he said it will have, including more noise, greater traffic on the existing Route 6, polluted aquifers, and the destruction of farm land and open space.

Herbert Van Kruiningen lives on Parker Bridge Road in Coventry and, like Turn, does not stand to lose his home. However, he said he will be­come a plaintiff in the suit, because the highway, and its exit ramp, will curve around his home of 17 years.

“ We’ll be surrounded on three sides," he said.

Van Kruiningen said his neighbors are also opposed to the project and he is confident the road will not become a reality.

“ I don’t think they will build it," he said.

The DOT, however, is confi­dent the highway will go through.

plan their strategy, said that his agency has not yet filed for the environmental permits. The DOT is still gathering information and will probably apply for the permits later this spring, he said.

Meanwhile, he said, the DOT is continuing to appraise property in the highway’s path. Burns said he did not know when offers would be made to owners. However, James E. Lewis, director of rights of way for the DOT, said in January that sale negotiations would begin by the end of March and property would be acquired by the summer.

The DOT and other supporters of

the highway have argued that the road would revitalize the economy of Eastern Connecticut and would be safer than the existing Route 6, a two-lane highway.

One of the project’s backers, former Andover First Selectmen Russell Thompson, attacked oppo­nents of the expressway at the start of Monday’s meeting, then agreed to leave. Thompson said the people in Andover who are slated to lose their homes knew the riskjs before they purchased their property.

Area grand lists increaseThe amount of taxable property

in Andover. Bolton and Coventry increased last year by at least 4 percent in each town, according to 1985 Grand List information re­leased Monday by officials.

Bolton and Coventry’s 1985 Grand Lists showed the largest gains. Each grew 5 percent over the 1984 totals.

Coventry’s 1985 Grand List in­creased from $151,556,807 to $159,085,216. according to Town Assessor Lindell Braasch. Coven­try ’s 1984 Grand List had grown 3 percent over the previous year’s tabulation.

Braasch said this year’s in­crease was "pretty much” what she had expected.

Bolton’s Grand List totaled $83,527,069 for 1985. up 5 percent from the 1984 value of $79,376,639. The 1984 Grand List increased 4.6 percent over the 1983 assessed value of taxable property.

In Andover, the value of taxable property climbed 4 percent, from $49,598,284 to $51,599,562. accord­ing to information compiled by Assessor Frederick A. Chmura.

The growth equalled the in­crease over the 1983 Grand List, which was $47,340,384.

The Grand List for each town measured the amount of taxable property through October 1985, including vehicles, real estate and personal property.

Andover, Bolton and Coventry were supposed to have released their Grand List information Jan. 31. However, delays in receiving the state Motor Vehicle Depart­ment’s list of registered cars in each town prompted a one-month extension.

Manchester’s 1985 Grand List, which also was released a month late, showed a 3.8 percent growth rate over 1984.

Andover selectmen set vote on ambulance, bridge repairsBv George Lavng Herald Reporter

ANDOVER — The purchase of a new $65,000 ambulance is one of three items residents will have the opportunity to vote on at a town meeting scheduled for March 17, the Board of Selectmen decidi Monday.

The ambulance, requested by the Board of Fire Commissioners, will replace a 10-year-old vehicle that Andover Fire Chief Jay Liddy said is in need of repair.

‘It ’s something we’ve definitely needed for the past four years." Liddy said after the selectmen’s monthly meeting at the .Town Office Building. “ It ’s pretty old”

The current ambulance is the vehicle most used by the Andover Fire Department and is in danger of breaking down while on a call. he said. Liddy said the danger justi­fied the expense.

“ You can’t replace a life for $65,000,” he said.

The selectmen agreed." I t ’s time to replace it,” said

Selectman Peter J. Maneggia.The second item to,be voted on at

the town meeting is the purchase of four vehicles for $88,000 by the Board of Education. ’The total includes $65,000 for two new school

buses, $13,500 for a van and $7,500 for a new car.

PPROVED, the purchase of vehicles and the ambu-

funded by this year'siudget.Townspeople will also vote on

giving the Board of Selectmen the authority to apply for state grants to help repair bridges that cross the Hop River on Bunker Hill Road and Times Farm Road. The statfe requires approval by the town’s legislative body — residents in Andover’s case — before it can receive the money.

The cost of the repairs is not known, though estimates and blueprints for the work are being drawn up by the town. First Selectman Jean S. Gasper said. The state will cover 30 percent of each project’s cost, she said.

The remaining amount will be paid by the town, some with money it will receive through the state road repair program. However, the town is waiting to learn how much it will receive under the program.

Funding for the Times Farm Bridge received tentative appro­val last year from the state Department of Transportation, but the money cannot be received until

existing Route 6, as is advocated by the group that organized Monday’s meeting — the Eastern Connecticut Citizen Action Group — would mean losing a lot of valuable property, such as the Andover Congregational Church, the Andover post office and a number of houses.

The two-lane road is unsafe, he said. “ This is death row from Bolton Notch on through,” he said.

However, ECCAG spokesman Allen Ward of Hebron said reno­vating the existing Route 6 would not mean the loss of many buildings alongside it. He also

argued that renovations would have to be made even if the proposed highway is built.

Ward said the plans for the expressway have only one exit for the area, which would mean increased . local traffic on the existing Route 6.

Laurel A. Houle of Bunker Hill Road In Andover disputed Thomp­son’s claim that property owners knew the highway was going to be built before they bought their homes. She charged that three different plans have been dis­cussed over the years by the DOT, and only recently has one been

adopted. , _“ It ’s not fair for

automatically aasumc the DOT is doing the job right because they’re not," she said.

AT LEAST I t people agreed Monday to become plaintiffs in the suit being brought by Berman. Plaintiffs were urged to donate up to $250 to help cover legal fees, but a con tribu tion was not a requirement.

Among those who agreed before­hand to join in the suit was a group known as Stop 1-84 Inc. of Rhode Island. Group spokesman Ralph McDougald. who was at the meeting, said the proposed Route 6 "puts us in a very, very dangerous situation in Rhode Island.”

Iq particular, he said, the Scituate Reservoir, which supplies water to over half of Rhode Island, would face a greater risk of being contaminated from the increased traffic the highway would bring to the state.

Original plans for extending the expessway into Rhode Island were canceled in the 1970s when Rhode Island withdrew from the project because of environmental con­cerns. Current plans call for extending the existing Interstate 384 only as far as Columbia.

The ECCAG plans to meet May 5 with Gov. William O’Neili, DOT Commissioner William Bums and DEP Commissioner Stanley Pac about the highway. It also urged opponents to contact elected state and federal officials asking them to oppose the DOT’S acquisition plans.

The group said it wants to schedule press conferences at homes of highway opponents that are being appraised.

Bolton selectmen propose $1.5 million budget for townBy Susan Vaughn Herald Reporter

BOLTON — The Board of Selectmen Monday night pres­ented a proposed 1986-87 budget of $1,584,489 to the Board of Finance.

The proposal seeks a spending increase of $264,788 over the current year’s budget and does not include school funds or general highway wages, which are cur­rently under negotiation with a union.

Added to the Board of Educa­tion’s proposed budget of $2.9 million, the total proposed town budget for the coming fiscal year is $4.5 million, or $530,000 over current spending.

The increase in the Grand List figures just released amounted to $4.1 million, said Etna Dimock, finance board clerk told the selectmen and finance board members at a joint meeting at Community Hall. Finance Board Chairman Raymond Ursin esti­mated that the 5 percent increase in the Grand List would mean an increase in the tax rate of about 15 percent.

After the finance board passes a budget, the proposal will go before voters at a town meeting tenta­tively set for May 12. The finance board can make cuts in the budget before approving it.

The selectmen have proposed that the town hire a full-time town engineer to provide services to several departments and seek funding from a new state grant program for municipal infrastruc­ture improvements.

The capital improvements por­

tion of the selectmen’s budget was set at $213,040, including$73,040for school roof repairs. $58,000 for land acquisition behind Community Hall, $50,000 for asbestos removal in the schools and $32,000 for a new fire engine.

The capital im provem ents budget represents an increase of $51,748 over last year’s expendi­tures. Some $30,666 would come from the infrastructure grant.pnd $6,378 from an increase in the'town aid road ^nd. said Karen Levine, administrative assistant to the selectmen.

After deducting the two state grants. Selectman Carl Preuss said, the capital budget increase would be only $14,704, or 1 percent.

On the capital expenditures. Ursin commented, “ The capital items are fixed. We can’t change those can we? ... We’re looking for where we can cut and not hurt what we’re going to do.”

Preuss said the selectmen could have taken capital improvements out of the budget, but the projects would still have to be done later.

Finance Board member William Fehling asked Dimock to find out from the school superintendent about the status of a state grant for asbestos removal and the Center School roof payment plan. He said that only a portion of the capital improvements could be included in the budget based on the reimburse­ments from the state.

The two boards discussed the proposed hiring of a town engineer at length. Levine said that $24,000 was included in the budget for an engineer, which would represent a net increase of $7,000 to $8,000 over

what the town pays now for consulting engineering services for the different departments.' Preuss said the new full-time

engineer would eliminate the need Jo r a consulting engineer.

"W e are looking for someone to put a stamp on projects,” said First Selectman Douglas Cheney.

Selectman Michael Zizka said that the position would be approp­riate for a beginning c iv il engineer.

Fehling asked the selectmen to be more specific on the responsibil­ities for the new engineer.

When Ursin asked if the select­men had considered hiring a part-time engineer. Preuss said the board had considered a part- time position at first, but then felt there was enough work for a full-time person, o

Most town employees would receive a minimum 4 percent wage increase under the proposed budget. Preuss said. The select­men proposed adding personnel in the Parks Department because of proposed expansion of park hours and hiring a library aide.

The selectmen also proposed to do only an overlay of Williams Road at a cost of $30,000. rather than a complete reconstruction of the road which had been proposed last year. Reconstruction would cost $360,000, said Selectman Larry Converse, adding that there was no sense in doing something that no one wanted anyway.

Fehling said that the people who live on the road do not want to improve the connector between routes 85 and 44.

Finance board OKs L M ^ vote

a formal request is made by the selectmen. The bridge was listed by the state in November 1983 as needing repairs.

GASPER SAID in February that the 1935 structure is not in danger of collapse. However, she said it needs a new deck and abutment.

f

She said the town will apply for funds for the Bunker Hill Road bridge, which needs a third cul­vert, when it asks the DOT for money for the Times Farm Bridge.

In other business Monday, the selectmen approved the hiring of a Lake Road do^or to serve as the town’s Director of Health.

Dr. John Shoukiipas of 400 Lake Road, a semi-retired physician who agreed in February to accept the position after being asked by the board, will sepre a four-year term beginning March 1, at $400 per year. The position had been vacant since the term of Williman- tic physician Peter Jones expired Feb. 8.

Gasper said the decision to switch doctors was ntade because Shoukimas lives in town.

“ We have a resident in Andover who is a doctor, which hasn’t happened before,” she said.

BOLTON - The Board of Finance Monday night approved holding a townwide referendum on the proposed library and media center addition at Bolton High School.

The Board of Selectmen had previously set a date of April 10 for the $493,000 proposal.

In a joint meeting at Community Hall, finance board members questioned school board members and officials about the plan to add a 2,800-square-foot library and me­dia center and allow space for special education and computer instruction.

Finance board member Clayton Adams said he was concerned that the minimal addition would not be enough to accommodate increas­

ing enroilments in the next few years.

Ernest Shepherd, a member of a committee that reviewed plans for the library and media center, said the committee felt the plan was a good start and would be good for at least five years. He said the building was planned allowing the option for expansion.

When asked by Adams about the predicted birth rates for the town, John Muro, co-chairman of the school board’s LMC subcommit­tee, said that the birth rates depend on the community. He said the town's population is projected to be 4,400 by the year 2000.

High school Principal Joseph Fleming said that the school is now at its maximum capacity with

around 300 students.Finance board member William

Fehling questioned the school Officials’ $90,000 estimate for com­puter equipment, saying that he thought it was too high. But Fleming said the figure was determined by the software the school wants after discussions with computer m anufacturers and other school systems.

"You will need good documenta­tion to say what you are going to get for $100,000,” Fehling said.

The estimated cost of construc­tion for the library addition has been set at $292,000, with renova­tions. equipment and other ex­penses bringing the total to $493,000.

Chesler withdraws salary requestBy Jacqueline Bennett Herald Correspondent

COVENTRY — School Superin­tendent Dr. Nathan Chelser has withdrawn a request for $50,000 in 1986-87 to fund higher teachers’ salaries after members of the Board of Education said they wanted to “ avoid anything politi­cal.” Chesler said.

Chesler had requested the mo­ney to accommodate a possible state-mandated starting teacher salary of $19,300. But school board members decided that funding the request was not a good idea at a special budget meeting held Feb. 18, he said.

"The Legislature is now consid­ering the mandated salary and we don’t want to get in the middle of i^ ’ ’ Chesler said.

Gov. William O’Neill has recom­mended a starting teacher salary of $19,300 for all Connecticut teacters. The proposal is sup­p o rt^ by state Commissioner of Education Gerald Tirozzi, but has run into opposition from some Republican legislators. An alter­native of about $17,000 has been suggested.

Chesler said he would like to see the $19,300 salary approved.

“ It would make us more compet­itive with industry, eliminate teacher shortages and attract quality people. But if the $17,000 is more feasible, OK, I ’m in favor of any move to enhance the profes­sion and benefit thdkids,” he said.

The proposed school budget for the 1986-87 fiscal year, which is just over $600,000. represents a 10.21 percent increase over the current

year’s budget. It includes a 10.25 percent across-the-board salary increase for teachers and a $13,000 allocation for a merit pay plan. Current starting salaries for Cov­entry teachers are around $13,000.

The budget proposal also calls for the elimination of 3.5 teaching positions.

“ Mostly these people were sub­stituting for someone on leave, so the impact of the reduction will not affect the quality of our program," Chesler said.

After it completes its review, the school board will present the budget to the Town Council on March 10. The Council will then present the budget to the town at a public hearing on March 31. Townspeople will have the final vote on the budget at the annual town meeting in May. .

Four astronauts representing NASA’s elite corps of shuttle fliers say they are withholding judgment on whether anyone was “ truly at fault” for the decisions that led to - the Challenger disaster.

" I f there was. in fact, a flaw with the system, that’s going to get fixed before we fly again, that and any mechanical problems,” shut­tle commander Joe Engle said in an interview Monday at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

"W e're going to have a much stronger and more reliable system and the decision-making system than we had before.”

In Washington, NASA officials say it no longer is looking at just a six-month delay but is planning for a grounding lasting 12 to 18 months.

The agency also announced that its special “ replanning” task force has been instructed to consider commercial operation of one-use-

■ only rockets as a possible way to help the nation meet a growing satellite launch crisis.

Assignment of payloads to spe­cific launchers will be based on priorities given to various satel­lites "and the urgency of individ­ual payloads,” the agency said. Military satellites have top prior­ity under long-standing agree­ments between the civilian space agency and the Department of Defense.

BREAKING A MONTH of si­lence Monday by meeting with reporters to discuss Challenger’s demise, the astronauts said they would wait until the presidential commission investigating the acci­dent issues its final report before reaching any conclusions about the cause of the disaster.

Aquino set to revamp judiciaryBy United Press International

The Corazon Aquino government has begun to dismantle powerful military and internal security agencies that helped keep Ferdi­nand Marcos in power for 20 years, officials said today.

Former Sen. Jovito Salonga, chairman of the commission on good government, also announced he had formed a panel that will attempt to recover “ all ill-gotten wealth accumulated" by t^ c o s , his family, relatives and fri^ds.

After holding out for a week, five justices of the 12-member Su­preme Court submitted their resig­nations to Aquino today to give her a free hand in revamping the judiciary.

Meanwhile, in New York, attor­neys seeking wealth that "belongs to the Philippine people” have obtained a court order freezing $350 million in real estate that they claim is part of Marcos’s $7 billion in U.S. holdings.

The lawyers working for the Aquino government said Monday that State Supreme Court Justice Elliot Wilk had issued a temporary restraining order Sunday blocking the sale or transfer of the five New York properties pending a hearing Wednesday.

Lawyers at the Center for Constitutional Rights — which is representing Aquino without charge — claim Marcos has $7 billion in holdings in the United States. $350 million of which is in New York City and on Long Island.

The judicial resignations in Manila bring to six the number of justices who have heeded her call to resign to purge the high tribunal of Marcos appointees who have been criticized for their lack of independence.

Military authorities today dis­patched a battalion composed of 26 officers and S23 men to help track down communist rebels who am­bushed and killed 17 . people, including 12 policemen, near a bridge in Polangui village, Albay, 195 miles southeast of Manila.

It was the first major incident involving the rebels since Aquino took power. ,,

Armed Forces Chief Gen. Fidel Ramos told reporters after con­sulting with Aquino that the military would “ continue intensi­fying our efforts to solve the insurgency problem."

Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile said he and Ramos dis­cussed with Aquino the “ security environment both externally and internally."

Salonga told a news conference his panel would take over or sequester all business enterprises illegally acquired by Marcos and his friends, whether they were located inside the country or out.

He said the investigation, ' if ' warranted, would include retired

generals who had enriched them­selves during the Marcos years and military and defense officials who now were serving the Aquino administration.

HENRY HARTSFIELD . . . O-ring a mystery

know about long-running NASA concern about the safety of crucial O-ring seals in the shuttle’s solid- fuel booster rockets until Chal­lenger exploded. A seal failure on the right-side boo8ter rocket is a prime suspect in the shuttle disaster.

“ I had no knowledge of O-ring problems until after the accident,” said Hartsfield. “ I think there were a lot of us in the astronaut o ffice who were caught by surprise."

During two of Hartsfield’s three shuttle flights, booster 0-rlngs suffered damage.

" I guess that’s what made me angry, the O-ring problem, some­how this didn’t get to us and I don’t- know where the fault lies in that," Hartsfield said.

Public affairs officials had hoped to honor requests for inter­views with other astronauts today.

but sources said the commission expressed "displeasure” about the prospect of astronauts speculatinfi about commission actions and the plans were put on hold.

Shuttle skipper Gordon Fuller­ton said some of the testimony heard so far by the disaster commission about the O-ring seals In the booster rockets “ sounds pretty disturbing.”

“ However, the whole story’s not in,” he said in an interview. "The key is to find a cause, both technical and managerial if there is one, and the real thing the astronaut office wants to do is get them both fixed so we can start flying again.”

FULLERTON, ENGLE, Harts­field and Vance Brand were selected by chief astronaut John Young to represent the astronaut corps and to answer questions about the Challenger accident and its impact on the shuttle program. -

NASA officials in Washington said agency planners have stopped considering a six-month shuttle flight delay and are now looking at grounding the remaining three arbiters for 12 to 18 months. In addition, a “ replanning” task force has h^en . instructed to consider supplementing future shuttle flights with commercial operation of unmanned expenda­ble rockets.

All four astronauts who spoke Monday said they were unaware of long-running concern about the rocket booster seals and all four said they were withholding judg­ment on whether NASA’s decision­making process was flawed.

Challenger was destroyed Jan. 28 just 73 seconds after blastoff when a rupture in the ship’s right-hand solid-fuel booster rocket triggered an explosion of the shuttle’s external fuel tank. All seven crew members were killed

and Fullerton said, "M y own bunch is they probably didn’t know anything was really wrong until it blew.”

The rupture appears to have happened at or near a joint o connecting two fuel segments. Two-rubber O-ring seals in the joint may not have worked prop­erly to contain hot gas and flame a fte r a n ight o f fre e z in g temperature.

Engineers with Morton TJiiokol Inc., the builder of the I^story boosters, recommended a-launch delay but they were overruled by company management, possibly because of pressure from NASA engineers at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.' In any case, top NASA managers were never notified of the debate, prompting commission chairman William Rogers to charge the agency’s decision-making process "is clearly flawed.”

FULLERTO N EM PHASIZEDthe seal theory is just that, a theory, and that it was premature to speculate on where any fault might lie.

“ To me it’s not black and white clear that it was just a flat out total error and someone should be hung for it," Fullerton said. " I ’m waiting until the commission de­cides whether this was clear or should have been clearly serious enough that somebody was truly at fault.”

Engle and -Brand also flew aboard shuttles that experienced booster seal erosion.

"The astronaut office, we have a lot of individuals, all have their own emotions and range of emo­tions,” said Brand, a veteran of two shuttle missions and the joint U.S.-Soviet Apollo-Soyuz mission.

He also said. " I haven’t heard anyone say they want to get out of this business.”

Police fear assassin made border escapeBy Stephen H. Miller The Associated Press

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Po­lice hunting for the killer of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme reported they had been told of a second claim that he was shot by a West German

Two of them came from someone claiming to speak for the Holger Meins group, the third by a person claiming to be from a related West German group, the Red Army Faction.

Swedish police said Monday they bad b ^ n told of a call to a news agency in London by

terror group, and said the klller^som eone claiming, the HolgerMeins Commando group hod killed Palme, and Jater said they had learned of another call, also to a London news agency by someone purporting to be with the Holger Meins group.

Police would not comment further on either report.

The Swedish Foreign Minis­try on Monday confirmed re­ports l^at a caller claiming to represient the Red Army Fac­tion telephoned a Swedish diplo­mat in Bonn about three hours after the killing to claim credit. But West German officials questioned the authenticity of that call.

The Holger Meins group, an offshoot of the Red Army Faction, occupied West Ger­many’s embassy in Stockholm in 1975, an action which ended in violence, and its supporters later blamed Palme’s govern­ment for the subsequent death of one of the terrorists involved.

The leftist Red Army Faction, formerly known as the Baader- Meinhof Gang, has carried out assassinations, bomb attacks and robberies for nearly 15 years, but operates almost e x c lu s iv e ly w ith in W est Germany.

Ingvar Carlsson, who had been deputy premier and now is acting prime minister, wa6 chosen unanimously on Monday as the Social Democrats’ new leader. Palme had held the post since 1969.

could have slipped through border controls.

Police reported little progress in their search for the killer. The national news agency TT on Monday quoted Police Inspec­tor Jan Winner as saying; "W e stand about where we were at the beginning."

Alerts at border points and the Stockholm' airport con­tinued, but security officials said someone who planned carefully might have gotten through because the controls were not airtight. /-

Police have said that the killer apparently had stalked Palme for some time, and that the attack was meticulously planned.

Palme, the 59-year-old head of Sweden’s powerful Social Democratic party, was shot in the back with a .357 magnum revolver as he walked home from a movie with his wife, Lisbet, in central Stockholm. Mrs. Palme, 55. was slightly wounded.

Thousands o i Sw ed ish workers stood silently for five minutes Monday in honor of Palme. At Volvo automobile plants alone, 15,000 workers laid down their tools.

The disclosure of another claim of responsibility Monday from the Holger Meins Com­mando terror group brought to three the number of reported claims of responsibility. >

OPINIONTesting push an invasion of privacy

If anyone had any doubts that Americans have become complacent about threats to their rights — real or imagined — a poll released this week should dispel them.

Nearly six out of 10 state residents would not think their rights were being violated if . their employers required across-the-board drug tests, according to a poll conducted for the Hartford Courant by the Institute for Social Inquiry at the University of Connecticut.

Fifty-seven percent said they favored testing high school students, 76 percent said they favored requiring professional athletes to undergo testing, and 78 percent said members of the military should be.tested for drugs, according to the poll.

Fifty-two percent of the respondents said they favored drug testing of public employees. However, only 37 percent said they favored requiring the testing of employees in the private sector, while 5 percent they favored such testing only if an employee was suspected of using drugs, according to the p ^ i which had a margin of error of 5 percent.

Overall, the results of the poll appear to indicate that Connecticut residents regard drug use at work and in schools as a serious problem that warrants strong measures.

But in their haste to clean up America’s act, proponents of compulsory drug testing in the work place have overlooked the fact that available tests show more than whether a person is stoned at work. They can also show what he or she did over the weekend, or in the case of some drugs, weeks before.

And some subjects have claimed that the results indicated the presence of substances they had never used, calling into question the validity of the tests.

No employer has a legitimate right to know what employees do when they are not at work. Acceptance of compulsory drug testing in the work place would open the way for an employer to make wholesale inquiries into a worker’s lifestyle, including friends, sexual habits and travels.

But that hasn’t stopped more employers from turning to compulsory drug testing. Almost 40 pei'cent of the 500 la rgest companies in the United States have either started drug testing or are considering it.

As one representative of the Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, commenting on a case involving a utility that required drug screening for employees being considered for promotions, told a reporter, the acceptance of drug testing by employees is "really strange.”

"People would be outraged if Boston Edison told their employees that before a promotion they would want to search their houses," she said. “But they seem perfectly happy to allow Boston Edison to search their bodies.”

Those six out of 10 Connecticut residents cited in the poll should reconsider their positions. Their jobs and reputations — not to mention their civil rights — are at stake along with those of everyone else.

Six-year itch an ’86 phantom?By Arnold Sowlslok

WASHINGTON - This year's political straw man is called "the six-year itch.”

The six-year itch amounjs to an advance alibi for the political party that holds the White House and loses seats in Congress in the middle of its president’s second term.

This year, it will be the Republicans struggling against the dread tradition of the six- year itch in the contest for 34 Senate and 435 House seats.

The premise is that the ruling party must expect to take a bath in the midterm congressional elections. According to White House political director Mitch Daniels, since 1900 the presi­dent's party has lost an average of 40 seats in the House and seven seats in the Senate in the second midterm. Some calculations of the ravages of the “itch” place the losses as high as 47 House and nine Senate seats.

Such losses would be disas­trous for the Republicans. They would reduce the GOP to. a corporal's guard of 142 members in the House, unable to even

block a veto override, and turn control of the Senate back to the Democrats with 54 of the 100 seats.

But, as Daniels hastens to add lest GOP contributors snap shut their wallets In despair, things don’t really look that bad. In fact, he said recently, the early prospects are for the Republi­cans to hold something near their current 180-plus House seats and to lose no more than two of their 53 Senate seats.

What he did not say, but what Republican spokesmen are sure to declare if the elections turn out as Daniels estimated, is that the GOP actually won by losing so little.

The problem with the premise of the six-year itch is statistical insignificance and historical irrelevance.

For openers, it should be noted that Reagan is only the fourth president in 50 years to win a second term. It is possible to cook the figures by combining presidencies, such as Roosevelt- Truman and Nixon-Ford, into the six-year itch equation, but in fact the last president to actually occupy the White House during a second midterm election was

Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1958. Ike’s GOP lost 47 House seats and 13 Senate seats in that year.

Before that, it is necessary to returii to 1938 for FD R ’s second midtqrm, when the Democrats lost 70 seats in the House and seven Senate seats and Woodrow Wilson’s 1918 second midterm, when the Democrats lost 26 House and seven Senate seats and control of both chambers.

That gives this “ tradition” a statistical sample of three exam­ples in a period of 66 years. Your initials do not have to be IBM to sniff at predictions based on such a short record.

Furthermore, there are other plausible explanations for at least two of the second midterm washouts for the party in power.

In both 1958 and 1938 f the country was slumping into reces­sions. Unless, the economic indi­cators do an unexpected nose dive, that does not seem likely in 1986. So if someone tells you the six-year itch is coming this fall, don’t break out in a rash.

Open ForumRevenue Sharing is one big .wasteTo tiie Editor:

Revenue Sharing is when you are taxed on a federal level and the money is spent on the local level. The local politician loves this method of financing. He has the privilege of spending your money without the responsibility of raising taxes. The money is usually used on projects that could never justify a tax in­crease. The politicians believe they are getting free monejr from the federal or state government.

This method of paying for projects leads to many weak­nesses in our political system. There is a lot of waste sending tax dollars to Washington only to

have them come back to the town level shrunken and with strings attached. Many of these projects are what I call window-dressing projects. You won’t spend your own money but they feel they’re getting free money.

Secondly, it creates a Catch-22 type of situation. I remember a project a couple years ago.

The people of Manchester had voted H.U.D. out of town. How­ever, H.U.D. came into town and purchased 10 two-family houses under a new project. I went to the bid opening. After it was fin­ished, I explained to the housing authority that the job should have been gutted instead of piece-mealed. The labor cost would have saved the town a lot of money. No less than 10 contractors at the bid opening agreed with me. Nothing was changed. The nine other houses

Police-fire sharing works in KalamazooWith the loss of Revenue Sharing and other cuts

^of federal aid, how can cities deliver basic vices at less cost?

> best answer I ’ve seen is in Kalamazoo,Mich\

This^ity4?f 80.000 cut the cost escalation of police and fireprotection while substantially improving the qumty of both services.

How? \Kalamazoo has merged its police and fire

departments into a sipgie Department of Public Safety. There were 383 policemen and firemen in 1981 before the merger. Today there are only 296 "public safety officers,” most of whom have been trained to handle police and fire duties.

"Yet we have three times the number of patrol cars on duty as in 1981, averaging 28 cars on the road 24 hours a day vs. 9-11 cars four years ago,” says City Manager Sheryl Sculley.

How is that possible?“ We’ve taken people out of the fire stations, and

put them on the street as public safety officers," she said.

THAT ONE SENTENCE sums up a revolution in the delivery of city services. As this column asked when it first reported the breakthrough in 1981. "What are fireman doing most of the time? Sitting in fire stations or sleeping in them, waiting fora fire.”

In Kalamazoo, firemen who used to spend only 5 to 10 percent of their time fighting fires are no longer being underemployed. Rather, they are in patrol cars providing both police and fire protection — or they are on foot patrols, capable of responding to any emergency.

In the past, there were 185 firemen in Kalamazoo responding to less than 5,000 fire-related calls a year. And there were 218

. policemen responding to.00,000 calls for protection. Qearly, the police were overworked

by comparison.Now the city's whole manpower is addressing

the city’s whole public safety problem far more efficiently.

The result?“Our response time to both crime and to fires

has improved," said Deputy Chief Kent Cooper. “On reports of crime, our response time has been shaved from 3 minutes 40 seconds by about 30-40 seconds. In 90 percent of the cases, we are there in less than 3 minutes. And our response to fires used to take 6-8 minutes, but has been cut due to the likelihood of having an officer nearby. ’ ’

W H ATS MORE, criminals are less likely to get away with crime.

“Our apprehension rate has increased 33 percent, due to increased officers on duty and greater on-scene apprehension of criminals because more officers see offenses while they are being committed," said Cooper.

Another positive outcome is a 30 percent increase in guilty pleas and fines collected, according to local judges. Further, a greater percentage of serious crimes are being cleared due to police action — jumping from about 22 to 27 percent, which is above the national average.

However, the issue was very controversial when it was being debated in 1981 — especially with the unions. Both police and firefighters had difficulty

went out to bid the same way.The project wasted over

8100,000 of your money because no one bothered to Change thehid specs. I went to the Board of Directors with my findings and was told this was a federal project, and that I should talk to Barbara Kennelly. When I talked to her I was told that the town was in charge of this project. The

. town didn’t care; it was free m oney from the fed e ra l government.

Revenue Sharing takes away the very concept of the American dream and is taxation without representation. We have the largest deficit in history. We are selling the future of the country, and no one is willing to take the responsibility to stop the waste.

imagining themselves in a totally different job.One cop told me. " I can’t see myself on a ladder or running in a burning building. I could go after a man with a gun, but I don’t know about heights.”

Therefore, the city manager at the time, Robert Bobb (now the manager of Santa Ana, Cal.), made the deal financially attractive. Anyone who completed the 4 to 6 months of training in the other discipline got a 10 percent increase in pay, and the pensions were increased by 25 percent. Men are retiring now with 62.5 percent of salary, rather than pension at half pay.

That means some are retiring with $2,000 a month. And salaries have risen 6 percent a year, pushing the total public safety cost up from $13 million to $16 million a year. However, it would have cost another $2 million annually, if the total workforce were as big as in 1981.

NOT EVERYONE IS H A PPY with the change. "B y taking people out of the fire stations, you’ve taken away the teamwork concept,’’ said Wally Culver, president of Fire Fighters Local 894. Yet only 40 of the firefighters have refused to be cross-trained, and none of the police.

One part of the change that concerned Deputy Chief Cooper was a shift from an 8-hour, 5-day week to putting in 12 hour days, working 14 days out of 28. But it’s liked so much now that a dozen men have refused promotions to detective, a post that requires^hour shifts. Why? Every month, they get seven days off in a row. “ It’s a one-week vacation every month! ” said Cooper.

‘"rhere is no talk of going back.” adds Mike Magner, the Kalamazoo Gazette reporter who covered the story. “There are no more complaints to the City Council about the slow response time of police. And the increased visibility of police is an important thing to people.”

“ It’s very cost-effective in providing more service to the city,” .Sculley says of the system.

Nuke truths earn officer threats, lies

WASHINGTON — As a retired Air Force ;officer, Myron M. Hnatio probably should have ; guessed what the outcome of his complaint to the government would be. *

He asked the White House for an “ independent inquiry” into the official harassment of his son, John, an Energy Department whistle blower Instead, the White House turned the matter over to the same bureaucrats the younger Hnatio had exposed.

Not surprisingly, the reply the father got tended to gloss over the mistreatment his son had received from his bosses. Here’s the story:

“ I do not have faith that an explanation by officials of the Department of Energy would be fair and accurate,” Myron Hnatio explained to President Reagan in his letter of Oct. 9,1984. He, therefore, requested an independent inquiry into the harassment of his son, which we had reported ! in this column.

John Hnatio’s offense was telling congressional investigators about security lapses at government nuclear weapons plants. Not only did his recommendations go unheeded, but Hnatio was slapped with an official reprimand and threatened with the loss of his security clearance, which would have cost him his job.

BELA ’TEDLY, Hnatio received a grudging apology from the DOE for this response.

The bulk of the criticism, first from Hnatio and then from Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., was leveled against William Hoover, director of the Energy Department’s Office of Military Applications; James W. Culpepper, former deputy assistant director for security affairs; and officials in the Office of Safeguards and Security.

Internal files of the White House Correspondence Unit, obtained by dur associate Tony Capaccio, show that the elder Hnatio’s letter to the president asking for an independent inquiry was sent to Hoover §nd company for action. In fact, the final version of the reply, to Myron Hnatio, submitted to the White House for release, was signed by Hoover.

Hoover told us he bore “ no malice aforethought toward John Hnatio.” He said the letter to Hnatio’s father was “coordinated by my staff,” and added, “ I didn’t provide any facts.” Hoover commented, “ I would have been just as happy if someone else had responded to the White House, frankly.”

The White House reply, dated Jan. 14,1985, contained no outright lies, but it hardly gave a complete version of some events.

For example, the letter said Hnatio’s reprimand was “ for what was thought at the time to be a violation of DOE regulations and procedures regarding proper handling of classified material.” It failed to note that the reprimanding official had testified: “Both my initial inquiries and discussions with Mr. Hnatio indicated to me that his actions had not resulted in the ^ compromise of classified material.”

THE LETTER DID NOTE that “due to Mr. Hnatio’s belief that the (Office of Safeguards and .security) actions were excessive, a letter of apology was issued for any misunderstanding or unwarranted actions directed to him.” It did not mention that the apology was issued under the pressure of Dingell’s investigation and an inspector general’s report criticizing the actions taken against Hnatio.

Nor did the letter to the father disclose that one of those who had “coordinated” the response had once referred to the inspector general’s report as a “piece of (excrement),” and that this official and a colleague had argued against giving John Hnatio the apology.

Footnote; Dingell’s investigators plan to review the circumstances surrounding the White House response. Because of an investigation into the harassment of John Hnatio, an Energy Department spokesperson declined comment.

Banken’blu99Back in August 1982, top Mexican officials

informed then-Secretary of the Teasury Donald Regan that their country couldn’t repay its loan from U.S. banks. New Loans were hastily arranged so interest payments could be met, and what became known as the international debt crisis limped along from one year to the next. Now Mexico and other debtor nations are making rumbling noises that sound like threats of default or bankruptcy. To the bankers, it’s like a replay of 1982, but they’re reluctant to follow Treasury Secretary James Baker’s plan to put on more Band-Aids in the form of new loans to debtor nations.

Lack of ruling may let GOP open votingBy Mark A. Dupuis United Press International

HARTFORD — The U.S. Supreme Court has denied a request to expedite its decision on whether Connecticut Republicans can open some of their primaries to unaffiliated voters.

The nation’s highest court Monday put off action in the case until at least October, casting uncertainty over whether unaffiliated voters could par­ticipate in Republican primaries that would be held In September,

State officials, who are appealing lower court rulings allowing open primaries, said they were disappointed the matter will not be resolved in the Supreme Court by this fall’s primary

date.As it now stands, the Republican

Party could allow unaffiliated voters to cast ballots in any primaries this September for governor, U.S, Senate, other statewide offices and Congress.

However, state Deputy Attorney General Clarine Nardl Riddle said the attorney general’s office Is considering asking the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for a stay to block open primaries pending a Supreme Court ruling.

“Currently the court orders would allow them to have an open primary this fall,” Mddle said. “We are now researching the whole issue of what should be our next step.”

“I think It’s (a stay) the next option that we have to consider,” she told reporters at the Capitol.

Peter Gold, executive director of the state Republican Party, said GOP officials wanted to speak with their attorneys before commenting on the Supreme Court decision not to expedite the case.

The Supreme Court agreed earlier this year to hear an appeal brought by Democratic Gov. William A. O’Neill and other state officials challenging lower court rulings giving the GOP the right to conduct open primaries.

Lawyers for the state and the Republican Party followed up with the request for an expedited hearing.

saying they were hopeful the Supreme Court could resolve the matter before Setember’s primary date.

Riddle said the Supreme Court declined to expedite the case because of appeals forced onto its spring calendar dealing with the Gramm-Rudman- Hollings law to reduce the federal budget deficit.

“There’s been a crunch of new business in the Supreme Court with the Gramm-iRudman cases,” she said.

She said she was disappointed that the Supreme Couri denied the request for an expedited hearing on the state’s appeal. “It is a disappointment. We really felt it was a very important state issue,” Riddle said.

Tax-cut bills vary widelyLawmakers split on how far to go

HARTFORD (AP) - As state fiscal officers predicted this year’s budget surplus will exceed $100 million. Senate Republican leaders said they would press ahead with plans to cut more than that in taxes in 1986-87.

“I stick by our commitment to make a $100-million-plus tax cut,” Sen. James McLaughlin, R-Woodbury, said Monday before a hearing of the Finance Committee, which he co-chairs.

“I think the room is there to do that and the economic projections that we’ve seen lead me to continue to be rather hopeful,” said McLaughlin, whose panel is considering 21 bills calling for repeal or reduction of the real estate conveyance tax.

Also before the committee are 15 bilis on succession-tax relief, nine on a sales-tax exemption for fabrics used>in homemade

■clothing; and 10 that would repeal or reduce the tax on dividend and interest income.

Seven other bills call for burial and cremation tax relief; four would exempt supplies used for the care of diabetics from the sales tax; and four would expand the sales-tax exemption on certain non­prescription medicine.

McLaughlin said the amount of tax revenue from all the proposals goes “far beyond the capacity that we have this year’ ’ for cutting taxes.

Nevertheless, the hearing drew testimony from dozens in the real estate business and advocates of the elderly in favor of tax cuts and from the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, which opposed any cuts until the legislature provi't*'" ^,-pnorty tax relief.

House Minority Leader Irving Stolberg, D-New Haven, warned the committee against cutting taxes by as much as $100 miiiion even though the state on Monday projected a $114 million surplus for the fiscal year ending June 30.

Comptroller J. Edward Caldwell said the surplus estimate jumped $9.3 million in February.

Stoiberg said the state and nationai economies may not fare as weli in the near future as they have in the recent past. He also argued against tax cuts by pointing to President Ronald Reagan’s proposed budget and the Gramm-Rudman law.

Automatic federai budget cuts under the Gramm-Rudman law would “virtually wipe out our surpius,” Stolberg said.

“ If the president's budget were to be passed intact, it wouid wipe out our surplus twice,” he said.

He cailed for relief from local property taxes, which represent “the tax crisis in the state of Connecticut,” he said.

“Democrats... are wiiling to look with you at some other tax reductions as part of a finai package,” said Stolberg, whose party is in a minority in the House and Senate.

Gov. Wiliiam A. O’Neill, a Democrat, has indicated he may use his veto power to achieve a balance between state and local tax relief.

“If the Republicans keep proposing interest and dividend tax breaks for peopie earning up to $90,000 a year, they’re going to find themselves at the end of the session with one big headache,” Stoiberg said.

Freezing spurs a protestState anti-abortion leader hits Yale

HARTFORD (UPI) - A woman who won $1.9 million in damages from police who failed to protect her from an abusive husband has launched a tearful plea for land­mark legislation to combat family violence In Connecticut.

“I think that no other woman should have to be nearly killed before she gets help,” Tracey Thurman said at a news confer­ence Monday before testifying in favor of the bill at a legislative hearing.

The bill would allocate $3.3 million for additional shelters and services for battered wives and other victims of spousal abuse while also requiring police to treat such cases as crimes.

Thurman, breaking down in tears, said she at first did not go to police when she was abused by her husband and that when she did police were not willing to respond to her complaints.

“When I did call the police, it did not help. They did not want to arrest my husband, they did not

want to take my complaints seriously,” the '2^year-old Tor­rington resident smd.

Thurman filed suit against the city of Torrington and police officers charging they ignored her repeated pleas for protection from her estranged husband, Charles Thurman, before be repeatedly stabbed and beat her in June 1983.

A jury in U.S. District Court in Hartford awarded Thurman $2.6 million in damages last June and in October she accepted $1.9 million in exchange for the withdrawal of an insurance company appeal in the case.

“You nnight not think so, but my case is not very different from thousands of other women in the state. When I was battered my ex-husband told me it was my fault, the police acted like it was my fault,” Thurman said.

“It’s too bad that it had to happen to me, but it did happen and I hope that I can help someone else. I hope no one else has to g g through it,” added Thurman.

NEW HAVEN (UPI) — The leader of a statewide pro-life organization has attacked Yale University’s experimental program of freezing human embryos, saying the life forms are sometimes killed instead of being implanted into women.

“The problem as we see it is Yale is being very callous in regards to human life,” Maryalyce Lee, executive director of the 25,000-member Connecticut Right to Life Corp., said Monday. “Their regard for human life is simply clinical.”

The program, which began at the Yale Medical School about three weeks ago. consists of freezing embryos to allow doctors several attempts at. initiating a pregnancy in non-fertile women, said Jeffrey Russell, an instructor of reproduc­tive endocrinology at Yale. t

The freezing techique allows Yale doctors to use drugs which stimulate a woman into producing more eggs, and then save some of the embryos for repeated. attempts at impregnating the woman without subject­ing her to repeated surgery for removal of more eggs, Russell said.

The technique, which is considered experimental, was first performed success­fully about two years ago, and is now practised in laboratories in Australia, England, and about three other locations in the Unit^ States, Russell said.

The procedure of in-vitro fertilization normally consists of surgically removing about four eggs from a woman, mixing it with sperm in a test tube, and implanting the

embryos into the womb ot tne woman, Russell said.

Although using four embryos sometimes produces multiple births, the average overall success rate is only about 20 percent, Russell said.

The frozen embryos which would remain unused after a woman is successfully impregnated will be kept for up to two years for. possible use by women who cannot produce eggs, Russell said.

Any frozen embryos which go unused would be destroyed after two years, since scientists do not know how long the life form can survive in that state, Russell said.

Lee said the in-vitro fertilization process itself is not “as much a problem” as the freezing, which she feels Is done as a “convenience” to the women being impregnated.

“This is really for convenience's sake. I’m not really sure that for convenience’s sake, we want to disregard life in such a callous way,” Lee said.

Lc« said she would not oppose any fertilization process “as long as there’s no attempt to destroy that life. But, I think it’s very hard to determine what the intent or the intention is of the person doing this.”

Frozen embryos have not become a major issue with other pro-life groups across the United States, mostly because the technol­ogy has not become widespread, Lee said.

Congress has prohibited the use of any federal funds for frozen embryo programs while it decides whether to take a more specific stance, she said.

MANCHESTER HERALD. Tuesday, Mar. 4. 1986 — 7

Connecticut In Brief

W insttd flr« prob« contInuMWINSTED — An autopsy has determined two

men killed in a weekend fire died of smoke inhalation in a blaze which offidals believe was probably caused by electrical wiring on the second-floor of their destroyed duplex.

Robert C. Goewey J r, 20, and Randall G. Truax, 17, roommates in the upstairs apartfnent of the North Main Street duplex gutted by Sunday afternoon's blaze, both died of smoke inhalation, a spokeswoman at the state medical examiner’s office said.

The two men originally escaped the blaze but returned to the building trying to save a woman who firefighters later rescued, officials said.

“The problem is believed to be accidental due to some electrical wiring,” said Adam Berluti, a spokesman for the state fire marshal’s office.

Patricia Perugini, 37. who lived downstairs from the victims, was pulled from the building by firefighters after the two men went back inside looking for her, fire officials said.

Groups: Suspend JudgeHARTFORD — Two anti-drunken driving

groups are calling for at least a temporary suspension of a Superior Court judge arrested last week and charged with drunken driving.

The Remove Intoxicated Drivers and Mothers Against Drunk Driving groups Monday said Windham Superior Court Judge Richard C. Noren should be suspended until his case is disposed of in court.

Noren was arrested last week and charged with drunken driving, state police said. Police said Noren refused to take a breath test or other test to determine if he was intoxicated.

“Being an educated and intelligent man who enforces enforcement of our laws, he shows very little respect for following them,” RID and MADD state leaders said in a statement.

Justices overturn convictionHARTFORD — The state Supreme Court has

thrown oiit a former cafe owner’s conviction for conspiracy in connection with an arson fire that destroyed his business in 1982.

The Supreme Couri Monday overturned the conviction of Keith Beccia in a unanimous ruling that concluded the man had been convicted of a crime that does not exist under Connecticut law.

Beccia, an owner of the Night Owl Cafe Club in Wolcott and lessee of the building housing the cafe, was originally charged with first-degree arson and conspiracy to commit first-degree arson in a March 7, 1982, fire that destoryed the club.

Defense lawyers, both unsuccessfully before GUI and then successfully before the Supreme Couri, sought to overturn the conviction arguing that there is no such crime as conspiracy to commit third-degree arson.

AIDS death feared In JailENFIELD — An Enfield state prison inmate

who died over the weekend may have been an AIDS victim, a state correction department spokeswoman said.

Spokeswoman Connie Wilks said Jose Perez, 30, of Waterbury died at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford from a cranial abscess and overall infection caused by intravenous drug abuse.

“There is a question of AIDS.” she said, adding Perez had b^n listed as an AIDS case by correction officials. There are five other known AIDS cases in the state’s prison system. '

Officials were awaiting the results of an autopsy by the state medical examiner’s office.' Perez had been serving a term for first-degr^ assault. He had been sentenced in June 1984 and was expected to be released in March 1987. In December 1984, a Branford man became the first inmate to die from acquired immune deficiency syndrome while in state custody.

State butcher facet chargesENFIELD — A local butcher has been charged

with illegal sale and possession of wildlife such as deer meat.

Anthony J. Romano, owner of Tony Romanano 4i Sons Meat Co., was arrested Monday and charged with three counts of illegal sale and possession of wildlife. Each count is punishable by a fine of $200 to $500 or 30 days to six months in prison or both.

After Romano’s arrest, authorities searched the building for deer, owl and hawk meat, according to Harry A. Csech, acting assistant director of the Department of Environmental Protection.

Possession of deer meat is illegal if the animal is not shot during the hunting season, according to another DEP official.

Antonetti wants reformatory graves marked •••••STOP TAMPERIN6 with tha EIGHTH’S AMERICAN LISERTIES*

HARTFORD (UPI) - Saying it is “a matter of simple justice,” a Meriden lawmaker is calling for the state to protect the unmarked graves of 30 young boys who died while residents of a former state reformatory.

Rep. Richard P. Antonetti urged the Legislature’s Planning and Development Committee to ap­prove a bill to preserve the grave sites and erect a marker listingthe boys buried at the former Connec­ticut School for Boys in Meriden.

The school was used as a reformatory until 1973, when it turned over to the state police and a ledger was found showing that between 30 and 40 boys bad been buried on the grounds.

Antonetti said Monday the school apparently bad a policy of burying boys who died without family or whose families were unwilling to claim their bodies on the grounds in an area that was not marked as a cemetery.

The only designation was the planting of a clump of spruce trees by the school’s last administration, Antonetti said in testimony sub-

: mitted to the planning committee on which be serves.

“I feel it’s just a matter of simple justice that is long overdue,” Antonetti said before a public bearing Monday on the bill, which be said would cost the state between $10,000 and $15,000.

“Many of these boys were forgotten in life and I feel they should not bO forgotten in death,”

he added.Antonetti said he first learned of

the unmarked graves by reading a newspaper story but didn’t think about the matter until a student in one of his American history classes brought in a book with a history of the boys school.

He said bis bill would designate the graves as a cemetery and prevent development of the site. It also calls for erecting a marker with the names of the youths known to be buried on the site.

Antonetti said he has received offers from Boy Scouts to maintain the area and also has received letters of support for his bill from boys with problems similar to those who may have been at the reformatory.

Try a little artificeBy James Jacaby

To play well, first analyse the plays you have availahle to make your con­tract Then look for some deceptive play to improve your chances. In the current deal, declarer ruffed the open­ing lead in dummy. His thoughts were that West probably held the heart king for his opening bid, but if not, perhaps Elast had the spade queen. Either way the defenders could m take two spade tricks plus the king oKhearts.

Declarer therefore R d>R-mond to his ace and led the heart jack. Blast took the king and switched to a spade, and the contract was quickly set. Did declarer really do anything wrong? That depends.

Declarer should have tried decep-v tion. I f West does have the heart it does no harm to let him win.it. Bat

when Blast holds that card, it is best that be not get on lead. Therefore, let declarer play the king of diamonds from dummy at trick two, then follow with the ace of hearts and a low heart. Can East know that South holds the heart jack? Since West is supposed to give count, his play of the heart four should signify an original three-card bolding, but in the beat of battle even expert partnerships can go wrong. If East does rise with the heart king and then p lan a spade, declarer is no worse off than before, and he at leasf has given East an opportunity for error.

It won’t help if declarer plays spades himself, since West should im­mediately shift to a heart upon win­ning the first spade. By looking at the^ dummy, the defenders can figure out where their tricks are coming from.

Pat Fiorelli of the New England Aquarium has taken in hundreds of lost sea creatures in the past 11 years. One of the latest tenants in the aquarium’s “halfway pool” is

Aquarium helps stranded sea orphansBy Jim Rattray Unlttd Press International

; BOSTON — Sea mammals beached on dunes along the New England coast may strike panic in the hearts of animal lovers, but to

' Pat Fiorelli and her animal-saving crew, they are just another mouth to feed.

Fiorelli, coordinator of the New England Aquarium 's marine mammal stranding program, has taken in hundreds of lost sea creatures in the past 11 years.

The latest tenants of the aquari­um’s "halfway pool” are Amana, an 11-month-oId hooded seal found beached Jan. 10 in Hull, Mass., and an adult male saddleback dolphin, dubbed Silver after being found Feb. 13 at Old Silver Beach in Falmouth, Mass.

Amana, who will grow to over 500 pounds, eats about 25 pounds of fish each day, 2‘A times what each of the aquarium's regular herd of^ harbor seals consumes.

“ Her appetite has been outrage­ous,” said Fiorelli, 36, who acts as mother, nurse and friend to the sea Orphans. “ She is also in her prime and growing like mad.”

THE AQUARIUM keeps several enormous walk-in freezers packed :with herring, squid, capelin, whit­ing and mackerel, she said.

Hodded seals are normally found in the ice-packed gulf of the St. Lawrence River. F iorelli has cooled the water in Amana's pool to a “ cold 50 degrees" to simulate her natural environment.

“ I'm not entirely sure what the water temperature is in the St. Lawrence, but (Amana) does fine in 50 degrees,” she said. "W e do have a special refrigerated room for our (exhibit) penguins, and we could use that if it became very necessary.”

Amana, however, shows a "few funny levels in her blood samples and some kind of a metabolic problem — she tires out easier” — .complications Fiorelli expects the animal will eventually work Ithrough in time.; While Fiorelli may not have a

degree in marine biology, she says her 11 years of on-hand experience at the aquarium — where she began working as a volunteer and later a dolphin and sealion trainer — more than compensates.

"F ro m that experience, I learned a lot about animal hus­bandry — especially feeding trends,” something she said has been “ immensely important” in caring for the lost animals.

“ I really learned what a dolphin or sealion needs for good health — what vitamins to give them and what medication they need when they get sick.”

Fiorelli said treating injured seals is not all that complex. "They are partly terrestrial animals,” meaning a seal out of water is nothing to panic about.

“ You don’t need to keep them in ^water, although access to salt Water is preferable to them. If they are sick, they will stay out of water for several days. I f they are found beached for several days, usually something is wrong.”

MOST STRANDED animals are eager for Fiorelli’s help, but others can be somewhat testy.

“ You can't really pick up a seal like you do a dog. You need a cage and net if it is fierce and nasty,” she said.

The animals are placed in dry kennel areas, and, as an animal begins to feel better, Fiorelli said " it chooses to go back into the water.”

But Fiorelli admits dolphins, like Silver, can be a little tougher.

"Dolphins are extremely social and they are rarely found alone,” she said. “ We are allowing our divers to swim with him daily, and he's doing magnificently com­pared to other dolphins we’ve had here.

"H e is eating well on his own, and eating dead fish as opposed to live fish. We've won at least half the battle.”

Most of the animals are trucked back to the aquarium, but some are shipped back by boat while others — especially from Maine — are flown to Boston courtesy of Bar

; Yonkers Mayor Angelo Marti- nelli said Monday UTC’s proposed isbutdown of a Springfield, Mass., plant recalled the company’s -abandonment of the Otis Elevator O). plant in Yonkers.

About 300 people, including political and labor leaders, turned out for a rally Saturday in Springfield to protest UTC's ded- Ision to close its Diesel Systems plant this summer and lay off 900 workers.

Martinelli bad been invited to the rally but his schedule kept him from attending. In a telegram, however, Martinelli said be sup­ported the workers and noted their pU ^ t r e e le d the layoff of 1,200 Otis emidoyees — announced in 1002.

‘ "The 191,000 residents of Yonkers sympathiie and sympa­thise and understand what you are going through,” Martinelli said. "The arrogant disregard and deceit practiced by United Tech­nologies in abandoning community after conununity demonstrates that the conglomerate has no corporate conscience.”

Martinelli offered Monday to travel to Springfield in the future to meet with any interested party to aee if be'ccuM help.

illness is only phase one — returning the animal to the deep sea is another problem.

"The animal has to get used to foraging on its own,” she said. “ They have to adapt from being confined to experiencing real open space.”

. But freedom is not as simple as turning the animal loose.

"Some are just shocked. They are so used to being on the inside

•, looking out — not in the ocean looking back at us in a boat," she said. " I t ’s pretty much of an eye opener.”

Many animals suffer from shock

when beached — “ much like a person would in an automoble accident.” Silver suffers from circulatory problems and liver and muscle damage. "Those things need to be turned around before he is released.”

About six years ago, aquarium crews rescued a small Grampus whale beached on Cape Cod. She was treated and returned to full strength, but Fiorelli said aqua­rium officials were never able to release her back into the ocean.

But she is still alive, residing with a U.S. Navy detachment in Hawaii.

J O H A N N E S B U R G . South Africa — An explosion rocked police headquarters today, one day after police said they ambushed and killed seven heavily armed blacks suspected of being guerril­las in the outlawed African Na- , tional Congress.

Police cars rushed to the scene, and the area was immediately cordoned off.

Authorities said two policemen were sUglftly injured, and wit­nesses said the blast punctured a IS-foot hole in a second-story wall and shattered many windows in the large building in central Johannesburg.

The building is located 500 yards from the Anglican Cathedral where Bishop Desmond Tutu preaches.

Police refused to comment on whether the blast was caused by a bomb, but observers said it ap­peared anti-government rebels had planted a bomb — the first such attack against the station in 26 years of armed resistance by the banned ANC to white minority rule.

In the past two years, rebels have planted bombs in a police communications center and a military paramedical office unit in the Johannesburg area, with no injuries in either bombing.

The John Vorster Square police station is the main center for interrogation of dissidents, and a number of people have died in custody there. The area is ringed by high security walls and metal detector systems.

Earlier, police said two black men were found burned to death Monday in townships near the Indian Ocean city of Port Eliza­beth, apparent victims of radicals who put burning car tires around the men.

The burning tires — called "necklaces” — have been used by

black radicals against other blacks believed to be police informers or "stooges” of the white minority government.

Residents of the Ikageng ghetto said police shot and killed two black youths in a clash outside an officer’s house.

In Cape Town’s Guguletu town­ship, police killed seven black men in an ambush laid after they received a tip-off that African National Congress guerrillas planned to attack a pplice vehicle. One policeman was wounded in the operation.

The ambush was the bloodiest clash between alleged black na­tionalist rebels and security forces since South African troops killed nine guerrillas and seven civilians in a raid on ANC bases in neighboring Botswana last June.

National Police Commissioner Gen. Johan Coetzee said the seven men killed were guernllas who had been planning an attack on a police vehicle. He said they were armed with Soviet-made AK-47 rifles, pistols and grenades.

Police were tipped off about their plans and waited in ambush for four hours Monday, he said.

“ At 7:20 a.m., after the police had stopped a vehicle with black occupants, a skirmish between police and ANC terrorists ensued during which a hand grenade was hurled at police and they were fired on,” Coetzee said.

“ In the clash, seven ANC terror­ists were killed and one policeman was slightly wounded,” he said.

The men were shot and killed as they fled a minibus. Four bodies were seen lying near their vehicle and three others died in bushes alongside the road, police said.

Ten people have died in country­wide race violence since Friday and more than 1,200 have died in two years of violent opposition to apartheid, the nation’s system of legislated racial discrimination.

The union. Local 206 of the International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers, said the plant can be used for other UTC p ro^ct lines, but the company said the shutdown order is irreversible.

In Yonkers, Martinelli had been at the forefront of a city lawsuit against UTC. A UTC spokesman in Hartford, (1>nn., said Monday the firm has made a mation to have the suit dismissed and the motion is pending.

Waldheim accuseid of aiding NazisEx-U.N. leader served in paramilitary, WJC says

UPl photo

Former U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, shown in 1980 photo, was a member of the Nazi Party’s paramilitary "brown shirts” and later served in a Wehrmacht unit that sent more than 49,000 Jews to death camps during World War II, the World Jewish Congress said today.

By Spencer Sherman United Press International

Former United Nations General Secretary Kurt Waldheim was a member of the Nazi party’s paramilitary “ brown shirts" and later served in a Wehrmacht unit that shipped more than 40,000 Jews to death camps during World War II, the World Jewish Congress said today.

Waldheim, a candidate for presi­dent in Austria, has repeatedly denied any association with the Nazis.

But Eli Rosenbaum, general counsel for the World Jewish Congress, told United Press Inter­national the group had documents showing Waldheim Joined the Nazi Student Union on April 1,1938, less than three weeks after Austria was annexed by Nazi Germany.

He said the documents also showed Waldheim Joined the Stur- mabteilung — the Nazis’ "brown shirt’ ’ paramilitary organization — in November of 1938 and remained a member until he entered military service with the Wehrmacht on Aug. 15, 1939.

Rosenbaum said Waldheim served in a Wehrmacht unit that was involved with the deportation of Jews from Greece to the Auschwitz death camp in Poland

and was in Yugoslavia during Nazi massacres of civilians.

WALDHEIM COULD NOT bereached for comment today, but he told The New York Times the allegations were “ absolutely ab­surd.” The newspaper reported the new allegations — and Wald­heim ’s denials — in today’s editions. '

Waldheim, 67, has been accused in the past of having Nazi links but denied he was ever a member of any Nazi or Nazi-affiliated group.

Alois Mock, party chief of the Austrian People’s Party, of which Waldheim is candidate for presi­dent, has said Waldheim already stated he did not belong to the Nazi groups.

But the opposition Austrian Socialist Party called on Wald­heim to admit his Nazi activities.

According to the weekly Aus­trian magazine Profil, there have been rumors for six months that Waldheim belonged to the S. A. and the Nazi Party of the German Student Union.

In his memoirs, Profil said, Waldheim did not mentioned mem­bership in those organizations but emphasized his fear of the Nazis.-

According to the Vienna daily Neue AZ, Waldheim did say he took part in the activities of an S.A.

horseback riding group, but only for sport. But he said some may have taken that to mean he was a member of the Nazi Party

World Jewish Congress Presi­dent Edgar Bronfman said Wald­heim “ engaged in one of the most elaborate deceptions of our time.’' He said it was “ inconceivable that Waldheim would have been elected U.N. secretary-general had the facts been known.”

Waldheim served as U.N. secretary-general from 1972 to 1982. In 1981, a group of American Jews told Waldheim the U.N. risked losing public support in the United States because of a series of anti- Israeli resolutions under his stewardship.

Rosenbaum,' who investigated Waldheim for the World Jewish Congress, said the new allegations against Waldheim were based on documents he found in German military records and in the ar­chives of the Austrian Justice and Foreign ministries.

“ Dr. Waldheim has gone out of his way very drapnatically to conceal his past,” Rosenbaum told UPI in a telephone interview today from his New York home.

ROSENBAUM SAID campaign literature from Waldheim’s cur­rent presidential campaign and an

earlier presidential campaign in 1971 obscured his role with the Nazis.

He said Waldheim’s most blat­ant attempt to hide his past concerned the years 1942-1944. Waldheim has said that, during the period, he was recuperating from wounds suffered in December 1941 while serving on the Russian front.

But Rosenbaum said, “ We have shown that by March 1942, only three months after receiving his wounds, he was back in service in Yugoslavia and then in Greece, then back again in Yugoslavia.”

Between March and May 1943, the lawyer said, Waldheim was in Salonika, Greece, on the staff of W ehrm acht Gen. A lexan der Loehr.

Documents and testimony at the Nuremberg war-crimes trials showed Loehr directed the depor­tation of 42,830 Greek Jews to Auschwitz and two other camps, where they were exterminated, the World Jewish Congress said.

Loehr was convicted of involve­ment in the massacres of Yugoslav civilians during a Na'zi crackdown on Yugoslav' “ partisans.” He was hanged in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in 1947, for war crimes.

Rosenbaum said Waldheim was in Yugoslavia by the end of May 1943.

Arms talks end with little progress madeContinued from page 1

U.S. chief delegate Max Kampelman said, however, that "there was some progress” but that the talks had been "slow”

The Soviet negotiator dismissed President Reagan's proposal, made one week before the latest round ^nded, for the elimination of all U.S. and Soviet medium-range nuclear missiles.

“ It is an old proposal and we heard about it first in 1981 and 1982,'’ Karpov said. “ The proposal is not acceptable as a solution."

Karpov avoided a direct answer when asked if he believes there will be a new summit meeting this year without major progress on arms reductions.

“ My preference would be that there is some agreement on arms control, on the main issues of arms control, at the summit, maybe even before." he replied.

The talks first began March 12 last year and the latest, fourth round lasted seven weeks, ending with a plenary

meeting of full delegations which lasted 90 minutes.

Today’s end-of-round meeting, which began at 11 a.m. at the U.S. delegation building overlooking Lake Geneva, included members of the three separate but linked negotiating groups on each side.

These groups deal with defense and space systems, strategic long-range nuclear weapons and intermediate nuclear forces or medium-range arms.

A flurry of new proposals by both sides marked the latest, fourth round, which began Jan. 16. But recent statements by officials all the way up to President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev showed the two major powers were as stuck on major issues as when the talks first began last March 12.

Gorbachev even questioned the value of holding another summit meeting this year without concrete progress in Geneva — a link rejected by Reagan.

The two men agreed at their first summit last November to seek 50

percent cuts in strategic or long-range nuclear weapons and an interim accord on medium-range missiles.

Progress on strategic arms remained b lock^ by Moscow's condition that any reductions be accompanied by a scrapping of the U.S, Strategic Defense Initiative, or “ Star Wars” anti-missile research program.

"They Just keep repeating that line,” Sen. Ted Stevens, chairman of a Senate monitoring group, told reporters recently.

American chief delegate Max M. Kampelman said at the beginning of the fourth round that the Soviets have their own SDI program. Instead of stopping such research, he said, the two major powers should "Jointly apply” any such defensive systems if inde^ they prove feasible.

Progress on so-called Intermediate Nuclear Forces — or medium-range nuclear missiles — meanwhile, re­mained similarly blocked for other reasons.

During the fourth round, Gorbachev

dropped his previous link between “ Star Wars” and medium-range mis­siles but came up with other conditions unacceptable to the United States.

The Soviet leader called for the elimination of all superpower medium- range missiles in Europe — excluding Soviet SS-20 mobile missiles in the Asian theater which could be trans­ferred to Europe within hours.

Gorbachev also demanded a freeze on British and French nuclear arsenals and a U.S. commitment not to supply new weapons to any other country.

In a counter-proposal presented Just one week before the end of the fourth round, Reagan called for elimination of all U.S. and Soviet medium-range missiles, including the SS-20's in Asian regions.

He also rejected Gorbachev's two other conditions. U.S. senators in Geneva as observers explained Wa­shington cannot negotiate for other countries and cannot break existing weapons supply agreements with its allies.

ChariM Halleck, 85, Congreuional leader

LAFAYETTE ,' Ind. (AP) - Charles A. Halleck. whose political career spanned 34 years in Con­gress. died Monday at the age of 85.

Halleck was first elected to Copgress in 1935 and Served 16 terms in the House of Representa­tives. Halleck was majority leader in 1946-1948 and 1952-54 and then served as minority leader until 1965. He retired in 1968.

Board to consider tree-cutting pianA plan to allow the public to cut

cordwood on town forest land will be considered by the Board of Directors when it meets tonight at 8 p.m. in the hearing room of I,incoln Center.

If the directors approve the idea, it will permit people to remove cordwood from a parcel of wa­tershed land on Finley Street. After lumber trees were removed from that land, some residents protested that the land was left unkempt.

Normally the town would take bids from contractors who would pay for removing cordwood, but since the demand for'eordwood has been reduced, partially because of the drop in the price of fuel oil. George Murphy, town forestry manager, has suggested changes that would open up the the process to the public.

Changes he proposes in the permit fee system would allow anyone to remove cordwood on payment of a $20 permit fee for an unlimited number of cords.

Any person would be allowed up to four permits a year and the fw would be waived for certain low-income people.

The four-week time limit for removal of the wood would be eliminated, under Murphy's prop­osal. and a specific time limit would be set for each forest parcel.

Town Manager Robert Weiss said today that the town has discovered there is a provision in

the General Statutes that will excuse the town from liability for anyone hurt removing the cord­wood. One .o f the factors which tends to discourage bids from commercial contractors is the high cost of liability insurance that the town contracts have required.

Bonding for Route 83 is supported at hearingCOntianed from page I

ocveioper said those improve­ments were too costly and were not the responsibility of builders.

But officials of the DOT said at the time that developers should be . responsible for improvements to the road because of the added traffic that would be caused by their projects.

The revenue from the bill would be used to widen the road to four lanes and improve drainage. One businessman quoted in Swensson’s

letter said he would allow his property to be used for a drainage system.

“ You can see how desperate these businessmen are,” Swensson said. ,

After the hearing. Swensson said things "look good” for the bill. The committee was not scheduled to vote on the bill until its next meeting.

The bill would then move to the General Assembly's Finance, Re­venue and Bonding Committee before making its way to the floor.

Weiss says new car is needed

The Board of Directors tonight will consider a fund transfer of $10,675 that would allow the town to buy a new car for Town Manager Robert Weiss so that he can turn his current car over the town's park superintendent. f

In a report to the directors. Weiss said the car being used by the park and cemetery superintendent is a 1979 Dodge St. Regis that was a police cruiser. He said the car was recently in an accident and needs $1,100 in repairs. It cannot be driven at night because the headlights do not work and it will soon need transmission work, he said. Weiss suggested the car be sold for scrap.

Weiss also recommended that the car he now uses be turned over to Robert Harrison, the park superintendent.

Weiss said his car has about 75,000 miles on the odometer and is in good running condition.

Weiss said was he was prepared to recommend a new vehicle for his use in the next budget. In view of the condition of Harrison’s car, he said he decided to recommend purchase of a new car immediately.

The new car, a Plymouth Caravel, will cost $10,675. It is equipped with air conditioning and an AM-FM stereo radio. Weiss said bids were sought on cars available on the lot and most "cars already on the dealers' lots have extras.

He described the car as mid-sized.Of the $10,675, a total of $9,175 would come from the

contingency funds and $1,500 would come from the Park and Cemetery Division funds.

Indicators show drop in JanuaryContinued from page 1

5.7 percent during the past six months, compared with a 2.4 percent rate during the previous half year.

“ This pickup points toward healthy economic growth during the near term.”

White House spokesman Larry Speakes emphas­ized that with the rise in coincident indicators, "This indicates that steady growth currently is taking place, pointing to continuing growth throu^ the end of the year.

"Even though the leading indicators declined, slightly, the Reagan recovery continues at a healthy pace,” Speakes said.

Baldrige noted that the “ favorable implications” of lower oil prices and the falling dollar are not reflected directly in the index, but "w ill be reflected indirectly in various components” in the coming months.

“ 1 think the decline is an isolated incident.” agreed Allen Sinai, chief economist with Shearson Lehman Brothers. “ Of the components that were down, one of them, real money stock, is likely to be up in future months. The big decline in orders for plant and equipment ... is likely to stay weak for many more months (but) should not be repeated in coming months to the same degree.

"Certainly in the coming months the stock market component will push the index higher and so will the buiWng permit component." Sinai said.

January's decline "is not indicative of an economy that will be weaker later in the year. Indeed from all indications, the economy later in the year will be very strong,” he said.

Panel chief faces pressuresWASHINGTON — Senate Finance Committee

Chairman Robert Packwood faces growing pressure to delay action on a new package of tax reform options he has received until the budget deficit problem is resolved.

The committee staff on Monday presented Packwood, R-Ore., with options for each of the areas the committee plans to address when it writes a tax overhaul bill, a spokesman said.

A committee source said the proposals would set the top individual and corporate tax rates at 35 percent and also provide for a $2,000 personal exemption for all taxpayers, but not necessarily for dependents.

The tax overhaul bill passed by the House has a top individual rate of 38 percent, a top coiporate rate of 36 percent and a $2,000 exemption for non-itemizing taxpayers.

The spokesman said Packwood planned to meet with committee members and administration officials in the next week to see if the options should be used as a starting point for writing a measure.

Francis daclarad IncompatantNEWARK, N.J. — A Judge declared singer-

actress Connie Francis incompetent and ap­pointed a legal guardian to manage her affairs while she is a patient in a psychiatric clinic.

Court papers filed with the request for a court-appointed guardian described Francis. 47, as suffering from “ manic-depressive psychosis.”

Doctors treating the former child singing sensation and star of the 1960s film "W herethe Boys Are” said in court documents she is suffering from "an organic chemical imbalance in her brain which has caused her to become manic depressive. Francis is receiving Lithium treatments at the Carrier Foundation clinic in Belle Mead and "with proper care and treatment” may be cured, the court papers said.

Francis was committed by her father to a mental hospital in Palm Beach County. Fla., for three weeks in 1983. On Dec. 3, 1985, she was arrested after she refused orders to stop smoking on an airliner being refueled at Atlanta’s H.irtsfield International Airport.

Court tightens union feetWASHINGTON — The Supreme Court made it

harder today for unions to collect dues from non-members, ruling that unions must explain the fees, set up systems to challenge the collections and place the disputed amounts in escrow.

The unanimous decision affirms a federal appeals court ruling that struck down certain provisions of an "agency shop” agreement between the Chicago Board of Education and the CJiicago Teachers Union.

The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in 1984 the agreement violated the rights of non-union teachers because it did not set up a grievance procedure for employees who believed their agency shop fees were being misused.

In an agency shop, workers who do not belong to the union are required to pay an amount equivalent to all or some portion of the dues paid by members in order to compensate the union foir its collective bargaining activities on their behalf. Such agreements have been upheld by the Supreme Court as long as the money does not go to political lobbying activities or to advance "ideological causes.”

Japan honors McAuliffaTOKYO — Japan is presenting $100,600

collected in a nationwide scholarship drive in honor of New Hampshire schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe to the high school where she tpught before her death in the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, officials said ’Tuesday.

A statement from the Science and Technology Agency, which ran the donation campaign, said that Sadakazu Taniguchi, Consul-General of Japan in Boston, was to make the presentation Wednesday to authorities at Concord High School, where McAuliffe taught history.

Science and Technology Minister Yohei Kono said in a statement, " ’This fund will help future studente of Concord High School continue to pursue Mrs. McAuliffe's ideals.”

The fund was financed by donations from all over Japan from schoolchildren, government officials and private companies, the statement said.

’The newspaper advertisement campaign, which kicked off with a goal of $100,000 two weeks ago, amassed some $110,000, the Kyodo news agency reported.

Art can be fun. This is the reason Agnes Luby paints pictures and makes other works of art. It also is the reason she is learning to be a Wadsworth Atheneum docent who will prepare and give tours of the museum’s regular and special exhibits.

“ So many have been turned off by their first visit to a museum,” she said. “ I ’ll plan each tour

individually and be ready to answer questions. Next fall I ’ ll probably give one or two tours a week,” she added, as she paused from her charcoal drawing in her 519 E. Center St. home.

Her interest in art is reflected in many rooms of her home as well as her activities. She is taking lessons with Alan ’Thompkins in the West Hartford Art League. An art history course at the University of Connecticut led her to the training on Tuesday mornings that she

started in October, plus special lectures at the atheneum.

“ It’s a wonderful opportunity,” she said, praising the many works of art and the staff of the museum. Many of the items previously stored in the basement have been brought up for <t)splay in the $5 million Project Iceberg. She be­lieves her training as a docent will help bring appreciation of these items to museum visitors.

“ I ’ ll elicit questions,” she said. This will be one of her methods of

getting children and other visitors to look more closely at the art. She hopes to make her tours as pleasant as possible to they can enjoy tearing more about art. She added that many people do not know about the many activities, such as live performances held in conjuction with special exhibits.

Luby is a wife, mother of five grown or nearly grown children, and a former history teacher. In the past several years she has

This pair of men’s gloves dates from the 17th century. The gloves are part of a lavish French exhibit opening Sunday at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford.

French art in forms ranging from lace to rock music, and from films to mime, will be featured at Hartford’s Wadsworth Athenuem from Saturday through May 25.

“ The Splendor of French Style: Textiles from Joan of Arc to Napoleon I I I ” is the name of the major international exhibit of weavings, embroideries, printed textiles and lace produced in

France from the 15th century to 1870. The exhibit , will run from Sunday through May 25. Related activities, such as weaving and embroidery workshops, films, per­formances and lectures, will be offered.

The research for the programs took four years, said Claudia B e ll ' of the museum’s public relations office.

A gala on Saturday will give guests a preview of the exhibit. Half the exhibit’s contents are from the museum’s seldom-shown collection of French textiles. ’The rest is fromvther museums.

To introduce the series of events and programs, the Atheneum wiii hoid a gaia, “ La Grande Fete du Textile,” Saturday from 8 p.m. to midnight, starting in the Austin

A party note is struck by a busy LTM crew

Allen Coe dismentles an antiqua coal cook stove during the strike party Saturday at East Catholic High School.

ptioto by Swwart

The Little Theater of Manchester had just ended its production of “Da.”

N o , a ' ‘ s t r i k* e party” is nota faction in a labor dispute.A “ s t r i k e party” takes place a fter the final per­formance of an amateur show, whenthe cast and crew dismantle the set and put it away, and then eiijoy teemselves while doing a post-mortem on the production.

The curtain had hardly rung down on the stage of East Catholic High School on Satur­day evening when the stage was swarming with members of the Little Theater of Man­chester putting away the lower-middle-class Irish home, circa 1968, that had been the setting for “ Da.” All was done with military, even surgical precision. No asking what to do next. Brian LataUlegottowork on the proscenium lights. Ar­lene Mann picked up the brooms, not to sweep but because they were a prop. Kathy Mika and ’Toni Fogarty wrapped little things in paper and put them in boxes. Allen Coe took a claw hammer and attacked the door jamb. The continental platforms were folded away.

The big coal stove that played a large role in the play was dismantled by Anne Wle- die and Jeff Hinea. That stove had aroused much comment. In the audience, Jeaeph Sack told his wife Sandy, “Jffe had a

stove like that years ago when we lived on Windsor Street. ’Then we moved to Kennedy Street and got one in the same style, only gray metal. Then Dad had it converted to oil.” Another in the audience, Ar- tkar Stewart, recalled his family^s stove and thought the brand name was “ Glenwood.” Onstage, he discovered he was right.

The owner and lender, Jackie Smith, was telling how the stove used to heat her summer place at Hampton Beach, and now reposes in her basement. Fred BUak planned to return to his basement a cabinet of indeterminate age. “ We had to take out a lot of things we store in it.”

Also waxing nostalgic was Ralpk Loadberg as he and his son Eric carried off a gateleg table. “ I have had lots of meals on thi$.” ’Toai Fogarty was not quite so sentimental about a large oval picture. “ l bought this years ago for the frame, but I got to like the picture, and now it has been in three shows.”

Everything not immediately reclaimed by an owner was loaded into a tiruck for trans­

portation to the Little Theat­er’s workshop at 210 Pine St. And there arrangements were under way for the party that would begin as soon as the truck a r r iv ed and was unloaded.

Jane Newirth and Anne Miller had coordinated a re­past from the kitchens of various, members. In defer­ence to the Irish setting of “ Ba,” the menu included Irish bread, Irish stew,and corned beef and cabbage. The napkins were green. Caroljm Rnye French, one of the cast, put on a big green blow tie. Shamrocks appeared here and there.

Betty'Nigri, Anne Steinman, Betty Hnbert and Jack Hibsh- man sat at a table discussing the show. Then the truck arrived and people dashed in with things to put away, knowing exactly where every­thing went. Dr. Joe KomfeM, a microbiologist, and Stephn Deverean, a carpenter, made good use of a park bench that had seen emotional encounters in “ Da,” and discussed calmly their respective roles. Andrea Clancy and Fred Andette, two teacher members of the stage crew, made trips to and from tte truck. So did a crew that seemed sufficient for a Cedi B. De Mille production.

Finally enough had been accomplished to justify remov­ing the foil from the food, and the feast began.

North End memories include circus, Hibbard’s HardwareBy Grace E. White Wrlpht

It is difficult to place the buildings in proper perspective since there have been so many drastic changes in the North End.

The Willis Lumber & Coal Co. was where Farr's is now. Coal was delivered by truck. A chute went from the truck through a basement window connected to the coal bin. The coal created a lot of dust as it slid down.

The railroad depot was located where the driveway to the shop­ping plaza is now, off Main Street. It was a favorite spot of mine. I took my first train from there to Hartford. The train also went t h r ough Bo j t on No t ch to Willimantic.

When thie circus came to town, we children would get up early in the morning to see the animals being unloaded at this depot. Later, a circus parade would come down Main Street, with the anim­als in their brightly colored cages, the elephants holding the tail of each preceding one, right down to the baby. Music from the calliope accompanied the parade. Such memories.

There was a small green next to the depot, where our flag always flew. I really think the depot should have been spared or moved to another location.

Opposite the green was a rail­road watchman’s shed, where he dropped down the bars so the cars and horses couldn’t cross when the

trains were coming. He told us children when to cross.

The stores were on the opposite side. There was a lovely old water trough for horses in front of Pagani's ice cream store. Down the street in a building with twin pointed towers was Nichols’ paper and candy store. I spent many pennies in there for Boston Baked Beans, which were red sugar- coated nuts. I still have a small red clay pot that was used for measur­ing a penny's worth.

The first street beyond this was North School Street, where Tom­mie Smith had a meat market and grocery store, one of my favorite memories. Mother would go there to shop with the other ladies. Mr. Smith would give them all a milk

cracker with a slice of raw tripe on it. Crackers, pickles etc. were in large barrels and you Just helped yourself, just as you did with the cookies in square tin boxes with glass tops. Of course, 1 had a cookie while they had the tripe.

Mark Holmes opened his first funeral parlor on the comer of North School and North Main streets. I remember the building as I attended my first funeral there.

The Second Congregational Church was in the same spot as it is today. I grew up in that church, and even brought my husband there from St. Mary’s Episcopal.

Further down North Street to Kerry Street, I went to the bakery for jelly doughnuts. Sometimes the

owner would allow me to fill them myself with a hand pump. You may be sure my jelly doughnuts were filled! I loved them and can almost taste that red jelly now.

Back to North Main Street and on the opposite side of the street, across from the present housing for the elderly, was Hibbard's Hardware Store, where I went for kerosene for the lamps. Mr. Hibbard always pushed a potato on the spigot of the gallon can to prevent me from getting splashed.

The trolley track ran all the way from Rockville to Manchester and on to Hartford. At that time, it was our only means of transportation to downtown Hartford. We got on near the railroad watchman’s shed.

Where the farmers’ co-op now stands was the Checkerboard Grain Store. Bags of grain, com, and mash were delivered here by rail and resold, by the bag, to the farmers. There was no processing done then as there is today, and the area was much cleaner.

Sometimes I wonder why every­thing has to change. The memories are so dear. BuJ "that’s progress,” they say.

Stamps mark special occasionThe best of

th e M a r c h stamps will be these five fish in a booklet. Theu n d e r s i z e d ______b I a c'k - a n d - whi t e photo from the U.S.Postal Service d o e s n ’ t do much for them, but a color pic­ture in Linn’s Stamp News has them in full commemorative size and looking good. Even the cover of the booklet is embellished in blue and brown.

The booklet with two panes like this will be released on March 21 at Seattle, Wash., during the 50th anniversary convention of the National Wildlife Federation. The very first Conservation issue was the wild turkey in flight stamp that was issued May 5, 1956.

The swimmer a-gape at the top of the photo here is a muskellunge, also called a muskie, or, if you want to one-up somebody, an Esox masquinongy. It is a popular game fish something like a pike.

The next stamp down shows a couple of Atlantic cod. The third is a large-mouth bass, as you can see.

Continuing the biology lesson: The fourth stamp displays exam­ples of the largest of the tuna tribe, the northern bluefin. These might grow as long as 10 feet and weigh a

Final ly, the catfish . The whiskers hanging free are called barbels. The thing also has spines that get revenge by sticking the angler when he tries to get the fish off the hook.

The first issue for one month came on Sunday to celebrate the 150th year of the Republic Of Texas. It is 22-cent stamp and will doubtless serve to carry mail. Aside from that, it will be a prime candidate for the worst design of the year. It might have been contrived with scissors and paste by the same type of person who won the "worst” with the crayon- scratch "LO VE” stamp for 1985.

Next to be released will be a $2 Great American for William Jen­nings Bryan on March 19 at his birthplace in Salem, III. Bryan had much to do with establishing our Federal Reserve system, the popu­

Doubts about artificial heart continue BooksDoctors balk at implants but Jarvik defends invention Whitoh Library

By Ralph Waklov United Pro$i International

SALT LAKE C ITY - The world’s top heart experts are backing away from permanent artificial heart implants at a time when the inventor of tbe most famous man-made blood pump. — the Jarvik-7 — says more use is needed.

Only five patients have received permanent Jarvik-7 implants since Dr. Barney Clark became the first recipient more than three years ago. Concerned surgeons claim further long-term implants could expose more patients to the strokes that plagued Clark and the others.

But Dr. Robert Jarvik, who designed the heart that bears his name and several other experi­mental devices, said, “ It ’s a very good piece of equipment and we’re making progress on improve­ments to so lve the stroke problem.”

During a week-long symposium, Jarvik said, “ We need a lot more controlled experimentation in hu­mans and we need the experiences of many more medical centers.”

Researchers from the major U.S. heart transplant centers — in California, Kentucky, Pennsylva­nia and Texas — and from England, Japan; Sweden and West Germany said they believe artifi­cial hearts can best be used as “ a bridge,” to keep a patient alive untii a compatible donor heart is located.

Dr. 0. Howard Frazier of the Texas Heart Institute said, “ With

. use, the stroke problem will truly be resolved over the years. But we must conclude that the artificial heart will have an impact in the United States in the immediate future as a temporary device.”

FIVE PATIENTS have received permanent artificial hearts, one in Sweden. That patient lived nearly seven months before suffering a fatal stroke. Five others have had a Jarvik implanted on a temporary basis.

One, Bernadette Chayrez, is the first to receive two artificial heart implants. The pump was first implanted Feb. 3, then replaced by

human heart Feb. 7. The transplant failed and she was put back on a Jarvik.

In December, a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel heard testimony from Jarvik, Dr. William DeVries — the only U.S. surgeon with permission to im­plant the device permanently —

U P I p h o to

Dr. William DeVries talks to the media in Louisville, Ky„ on April 25, 1985, one day after the death of artificial heart patient Jack C. Burnham. DeVries is the only U.S. surgeon with permission to implant the device permanently, but even be has to get case-by-case approval from a Food and Drug Adrhinistration advisory panel.

and others before deciding the permanent implant program should continue.

The panel recommended, how­ever, and the FDA agreed, that some changes were needed. One was that DeVries would have to receive approval for each implant on a case-by-case basis. Another was that more experts would be called in, and patient care regi­mens wouid be somewhat modified.

Jarvik reiterated his views be­fore a congressional committee recently, but others disagreed.

George Annas, a professor of health law at Boston University, said the program should be sus­

pended because of damage to past patients and their families and because it makes humans into guinea pigs.

While agreeing with Jarvik that the stroke problems will probably be solved through modifications to the mechanical pump and im­proved treatment with anticoagu­lants, many surgeons at the Salt Lake City symposium questioned the quality of fife available to recipients.

Three Jarvik-7 recipients died within one year of the implant, although William Schroeder has lived for 14 months with a mechani­cal heart at Humana Heart Insti- tqte, Louisville. Ky.

Another patient, Michael Drum­mond, underwent a human heart transplant after nine days on the Jarvik-7 at thd University of Arizona medical center and has been discharged from the Tucson hospital.

Una Loy Clark, whose husband lived on a Jarvik-7 heart for 112 days, said the device should be available to more critically ill patients because "w e have an individual need to fight to save our life — God’s greatest gift to us.”

“ It ’s time for investigators to be allowed to resolve the problems,” she said.

DEVRIES GAVE Clark, a Des Moines, Wash., dentist, the world’s first permanent man-made heart on Dec. 2,1982, at the University of Utah.

DeVries left Utah following the Clark operation in a dispute with university officials over their demands for stricter patient selec­tion guidelines. He is now at the Humana Heart Institute where he perfoijmed four other implants.

“ The qualify of life question is one of the most important things we have to consider,” DeVries said.' before giving a patient a man-made heart.

“ The results thus far are not what we had hoped for,” he said, " bu t i t ' s be t t e r than the alternative.”

DeVries said improvements in anticoagulants given Murray Hay- don. who has had a Jarvik-7 for 11 months and has not had a stroke for nine months, “ is a fantastic test” of the theory that drug treatment can reduce the problem.

And the research to solve the artificial heart-stroke problems could result in better treatment for "the many thousands of people who suffer strokes today,” DeV­ries said.

Dr. Mark Levinson, a University of Arizona surgeon who assisted in th e D r u m m o n d i m p l a n t - transplant, said that case "indi­cates" the “ bridge” use of the Jarvik-7 could be a successful application.

Artificial hearts, said Levinson, "should only be used as a perman­ent implant when the patient is near terminal and a donor search is unsuccessful."

DR. JOHN BUNKER, a profes­sor of anesthesiology and a member of the heart transplant team at California's Stanford University, said more experimen­tation is needed because "w e ’ve got to find out what works and what doesn’t.”

It was through the National Retired Teachers’ Association, under the leadership of Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus in 1958, that a sister organization, the American Asso­ciation of Retired Persons, was created. At the outset, the two groups operated independently of one another. In 1982, the two groups merged. There is still an NRTA division, but it exists under the AARP.

Opinions changing on unwed mothers

NEW YORK (AP ) - In a survey by Woman’s Day on the subject of unmarried mothers and the prob­lems they face, 42 percent of the responding readers disapproved of single women deliberately having children out of wedlock. But 37 percent did approve — provided that the woman could afford to raise the child.

Though almost two-thirds of the readers surveyed feel it is psycho­logically damaging for a child to grow up without a father, close to a third of the 1,400 women polled said they would consider having a baby themselves without a husband.

But of those with a more traditional view, 52 percent would advise a single woman who is over 35 and childless to adopt a hard-to-place child. And 26 percent believe she should accept being childless.

The criminals who raped Randy- are in custody, but they were not charged with rape — only assault and battery, even though the officers know they raped my son.

Randy is a fine young man who never associated with people of questionable character. He had never seen these men before; they just forced him off the street and did this terrible thing to him. He was so upset he wasn't able to tell me about it; the chaplain at the hospital where he was treated told me.

Almost every city has a rape crisis facility where female rape victims can go for counseling, but there's no help in our town for male rape victims.

Please print this. The public needs to know

CONCERNED MOTHER

DEAR MOtHER: Because rape is as much a violation for a male as a female, male victims should be as entitled to care, treatment and counseling as female victims.

Unfortunately, because male rape victims are more reluctant to report the crime, the general

Dear AbbyAbigail Van Buren

public is not aware ol their numbers.

Some, but not nearly enough, rape crisis centers are equipped to handle male victims. This is a plea to male rape victims; Report the crime. It is also a plea to rape crisis centers to provide services for males as well as females.

DEAR ABBY; In response to the letter from the man who had gotten bald; It's not always vanity or the desire to look younger that makes a man buy a hairpiece. My husband is a minister who became bald. He's out in the cold without a hat. at funerals, visiting, etc. After preaching, his head is wet from perspiration. He'd get colds, sinus headaches and earaches, all be­cause his bald head was exposed to the cold. He bought a hairpiece to keep his head warm, and he hasn’t had a cold, a sinus headache or earache since.

The hairpiece is the same color as his own hair used to be and it looks nice. People compliment him on his new look.and he loves it. He's not trying to fool anybody. Once when it was hot outside, he took it off.

HIS WIFE

DEAR WIFE: Now that’s a hair-raising story.

DEAR ABBY: The reason many older women are no longer inter­ested in marryng is as follows: When eligible men in their early 60s and 70s are out there playing the field, having a great time, they rarely think of marrying and sharing those good years with a wife.

As soon as the doctor gives them the news that they have a serious health problem, such as an en­larged prostate or a heart condi­tion, they start shopping fora wife.

They aren’t even subtle. I ’ve had men suddenly ask me what my blood pressure is, if I have any health problems and what my approximate income is. Once they are assured of my health and finances, they ask if I have ever thought of getting married.

Some actually admit that they need someone to take care of them. I tell them to check into a retirement home, as that is what I plan to do when I need care.

When they could travel, dance and enjoy life, they weren’t willing to share those years with a wife. Now they’re looking for an unpaid nurse.

Tips on treating inflammationDE A R DR.

GOTT: Could you please give me some infor­mation on ar­thritis called "tailor’s seat” ? It is in both cheeks of the buttocks. What can be done about it?

DEAR READER: Tailor’s seat (or "weaver’s bottom” ) is a form of irritation involving the bursae (joing coverings) of the hips. It is found in people who tend to sit for long periods in one position. Treatment consists of anti­inflammatory drugs and. ob­viously. avoidance of prolonged sitting.

DEAR DR. GOTT: How long after one’s periods stop can one get pregnant? How long do hot flashes last?

DEAR READER; .Most experts believe that a woman can no longer become pregnant after she has missed 12 consecutive menstrual periods. Unfortunately, hot flashes can last longer than a year and may require treatment long after the menses have stopped

DEAR DR. GOTT: I am a

Dr. GottPeter Gott, M.D.

woman who is 66. My blood pressure has been 200/100. I went to a doctor for it and he gave me samples of Maxide and Capoten. I ’ve taken them for two months and am so dizzy that one would think I ’m intoxicated. Who needs all these free samples? I feel the doctor doesn't care. Where can I go for help?

DEAR READER: I think the doctor was trying to be thoughtful and save you money by giving you free samples. However, he cer­tainly should have insisted on frequent follow-up visits to make sure that your blood pressure was controlled and you were not having adverse reactions to the drugs. Your dizziness may mean that the medicine was too strong for you; your blood pressure may have fallen to an unacceptably low level. Look for a doctor who is both thoughtful about your needs and

willing to check your blood pres­sure until it stabilizes.

DEAR DR. GOTT: My son (32) was told he has polycythemia and was advised to give blood. How does one get this and what is the treatment?

DEAR READER; Polycythe­mia means "too many red blood cells," the exact opposite of anemia. It can be a primary disorder or it can be secondary to other conditions. like lung or heart disease. Polycythemia is a normal result of living at high altitudes, where there is less oxygen and the body must compensate by produc­ing more red corpuscles.

Polycythemia may cause; the blood to become overly thick. Phlebotomy (blood-letting) is one way of temporarily treating the disorder, because blood cells are withdrawn and discarded: the remaining blood is less viscous. There are more effective ways of treating primary polycythemia, using drugs that inhibit red blood­cell production.

Secondary polycythemia is usu­ally treated by attempting to correct the underlying disorder — that is. improving heart and lung function. High-altitude polycythe­mia needs no treatment; it is a normal physiological adaptive mechanism.

Lower thermostat eases billD F A R

PO LLY; Howlow should one turn one’s wa­ter heater ther­mostat for sig­nificant savings on the hot water bill? - IDA

DEAR IDA:How low you go is really up to you. However, guidelines:

Lowering your thermostat from 140 degrees (standard) to 110 degrees will save you 20 percent on your annual hot water bill. How­ever, if you have a dishwasher, 110 degrees may not get your dishes as clean as you like. Many newer models of dishwasher have auto-

PointersPolly Fisher

here are some matic water heaters: they usually recommend that your hot water be set at 120 degrees (the dishwasher then heats the water to 140.) Lowering the thermostat further (say. to 110) may lengthen the dishwasher cycle (because the water takes longer to heat to 140) or may result in less clean dishes.

If you feel that you need very hot

Thoughts

water to do your laundry, you may not be happy with 110 degree water, either. I would say this would be a problem only iPyou wash many heavily soiled white cottons or wash diapers or the clothing and linens of someone with a contagious disease. How­ever, there are laundry sanitizers available for these purposes (ordi­nary hot wash water won't kill all germs, anyway). Chlorine bleach can also be used as a germ-ktiler. For regular laundry, less-hot wa­ter is fine. In fact, I do all my general laundry in cold water and I think the results are quite good.

A lower water temperature is a plus if you have small children in the house; there's much less chance of their being accidentally scalded from the hot tap water.

The forty days of Lent in the Christian Church are grounded in the forty days that Jesus spent in the wilderness after his baptism. The Gospel of Luke tells the story (Luke 4 : 1-15), which serves as the basis for the "Thoughts" column each day this week.

The aloneness of the wilderness can be a wonderfully healthy thing. But it can be threatening too. Being apart for too.long a tinie can lead to loneliness. And sometimes we are apart through no choice of our own: we live by ourselves, or we can’t get out. Or, we may feel apart, separated from others by fears,' insecurities, and all the other inner doubts that seem to rise up inside us. Times of sadness, times when we must make hard

decisions, times of alienation be­cause of anger or jealousy, times of personal turmoil or temptation — these times leave us alone too.

So the wilderness has a darker side too. But even here, remember two things. The first is that every one of us has times like that; we all find ourselves in the wilderness often in our lives. So don’t be dismayed. The second is that Jesus was there too. That month and half that Jeifus spent alone in the desert was real. Those temptations were real. And the Lord knows how it is when the darker side of aloneness assaults and tempts us.

S P O R TSCollege basketball roundup

Fairfield earns trip to N C A A tourneyBy Ken Rappoport The Associated Press

After finishing last In the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference last year, the Fairfield basketball team had nowhere to go but up.

That’s exactly what they did, climbing from last to first in the short space of one season.

"It ’s Just been a tremendous year,” Coach Mitch Buonagura said after his Fairfield team defeated Holy Cross 67-64 Monday night to win the MAAC basketball tournament and advance to the NCAA playoffs. "When the season started, we never expected to go to the NCAAs.”

The Stags started out the season with only two wins in five games, then won 21 of the last 24 en route to their first NCAA- tournament berth.

The Stags were one of four

college baiketball teami Monday night to earn berths In the NCAA tournament. St. Joieph’s ad­vanced with a 72-64 victory over West Virginia in the finals of the Atlantic 10 tournament, Drexel won the East Coast Conference playoffs by defeating Hofstra 80-76 and Arizona nailed down a berth by winning a Pacific-10 battle from UCLA, 88-70.

In other league playoffs, ninth- ranked Bradley beat West Texas State' 61-55, IHnois State held off Wichita State 78-70, Drake routed Creighton 02-56 and Tulsa stopped Indiana State 68-50 in the first round of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.

In first-round play of the Ohio Valley Conference tournament, Tennessee Tech edged Young­stown State 71-68, Murray State turned back Austin Peay 78-80 and Middle Tennessee trimmed East-

Hyde involved in tennis game

“Tennis has been the ulti­mate sport in my lifetime.”Phil Hyde said as he took a few mi nu t e s of f from his busy schedu l e as manager of the M a n c h e s t e r Racquet Club.

“ Tennis hastaken me places that I would never have been'and it has enabled me to meet many people that I would not have come into contact with if I wasn’t involved in tennis," he added.

Hyde, 57, who retired from his teaching position at Manchester High School in January after a 33-year career, has been involved in sport.s for better than four decades.

Coming out of Winchester, N.H.. Hyde went on to Keene State College where he won 13 letters in baseball, basketball, soccer and tennis, graduating in 1952.

The next year he was on the faculty at Manchester High School and his first coaching experience came not as a tennis coach, but as track and cross country coach for two years.

Next came five years as fresh­man basketball coach and then seven as the Indians varsity hoop mentor. During 15 of his 33 years on the staff, Hyde coached the varsity tennis squad, having success with both a number of top individual players and with winning records.

Officiating also played a part in his life and for 19 years he worked soccer games in the Central Connecticut area and also spent six years as the trainer for all athletic

teams at Manchester High.As could be expected, because of

his interest in tennis, a sport he played competitively for years, and successively in both singles and doubles, he played a major role in helping organize the highly successful Neipsic Tennis Club.

One of his major roles at the racquet club has been in the teaching and clinic programs with Tom Rodden and Cherie Dow Baker his first lieutenants. The threesome has been responsible for an increase in numbers for both lessons and clinics on all levels of play from beginners to advanced categories. Seventy four boys and girls, ages 7-17, are enrolled .

"Right now, "Hyde said, "our main issue is to develop more programs to fill in some of the open time slots.

.’-’Our drill clinics for adults have gone over very well. These are aimed at conditioning, instruction and strategy. They run better than one hour for each of four weeks.’’

The club ladders for men and women have always been popular. Singles and doubles play is offered in both groups as well as mixed doubles, plus team tehnis on the weekends.

"W e are all encouraged by the support and play. Tom, Cherie and I are all working hard to get as many local and area tennis players involved in our program,’’ Hyde said.

Long-range plans are focused on an open women’s tournament for club members plus a stepped up program for seniors, the latter phase getting off the mark at mid-season with a lot of success.

The tennis boom of a decade ago has slowed down to a certain extent but the future looks brighter with Hyde passing along his valued skills in the sport that has meant so much to him.

No one in the town of Manchester has contributed more to keeping tennis alive and healthy since the end of World War II than Phil Hyde.

For 40 years, plus, he has been passing along tips to players on the local scene, including a decade as tennis instructor for the Recrea­tion Department.

" I love the game of tennis,’’ he says.

Former Manchester Herald sports editor Ejarl Yost has always had a great deal of pride in his

I- tennis game. He’s taken on asmany challengers as possible, and says he backs down to no one.

He even would like to play some of the world’s best — men and women — just to see how he would do.'

Yost took part in the first Seniors’ Tournament at the Man­chester Racquet Club, held from Feb. 24 through Monday, and came out not only as the singles champ, but as half of the doubles’ cham­pionship team as well.

Yost won the singles crown with a 0-1, 6-1 victory over Jim LeSure. H j then teamed with LeSure to top

In other action, No. 12 Notre Dame cruised past the University of New Orleans 75-87 and Okla­homa State iipset No. 15 Oklahoma 87-84.

Tony George, the MAAC player of the year, scored 27 points to pace Fairfieltl. 'The Stags had to hold off a furious second-lialf rally by Holy Cross led by Jim McCaffrey, who scored 24 of his 25 points in the second half.

" I decided to take charge myself in the second half," George said. ’‘I knew it was just a matter of time before McCaffery caught fire.”

Maurice Martin scored 22 points and Rodney Blake added 17 as top-seeded St. Joseph’s defeated West Virginia for the Atlantic 10 championship. Blake scored seven of his points in the final 4:41 when the Hawks broke a 59-59 tie, outscoring the Mountaineers 13-5 down the stretch.

Michael Anderson, the ECC’s most valuable player, scored 21 points and had eight rebounds to lead Drexel over Hofstra.

Sean Elliott scored 28 points and Arizona used a strong finish to whip UCLA and clinch at least a tie for the Pacific-10 Conference championship.

Led by Mike Williams’ 18 points and 10 rebounds, Bradley extended its winning streak to 21 games by beating a deliberate West Texas State team in the MVC playoffs. Bradley improved its record to a glittering 30-1.

Duke No. 1 before post-season playBy Joe llluzziUnited Press International

NEW YORK - Before Duke focuses on the NCAA Tournament, it must contend with a tournament that will shape its assault on the Final Four in Dallas.

The Blue Devils, selected today as the nation’s top team by the UPI Board of Coaches for the second straight week, are preparing for the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, which starts Friday at Greensboro, N.C. This tourna­ment, which traditionally produ­ces an upset or two, could be dangerous for Duke.

A loss during the tournament could have a pyschological effect on the players and will determine

NBA roundup

wtieie and how high the Blue Devils are seeded in the NCAAs.

Duke, which closed the regular season at 29-2 with victories over Clemson and North Carolina, collected 39 of the 40 first-place votes today for 599 points. Kansas, which retained its No. 2 ranking, received the other first-place vote and 544 points.

Total points are based on 15 points for first place. 14 for second, etc. Next week’s UP I rating will be the final one this season.

Filling out the top 10 were: No. 3 North Carolina; No. 4 Kentucky; No. 5 St. John’s, which climbed five places following its victory over Syracuse; No. 6 Georgia Tech, which fell from Its co-No. 3 spot with North Carolina; No. 7 Michi­gan. which improved four places;

No. 8 Syracuse, which dropped two; Bradley, which held at No. 9; and No. 10 Memphis State, which slipped two notches after its loss to Louisville.

Three ACC teams — Duke, North Carolina and Georgia Tech — were in the top 10. The Tar Heels face a tough opening test in the ACC tournament, going against Mary­land, one of four teams to beat them this season. A consolation for NorthCarolina is it may have starting guard Steve Hale, side­lined for three games with a partially collapsed lung, and for­ward Warren Martin (sprained foot) in the lineup.

Duke opens against Wake Forest, winless in the ACC, while Georgia Tech plays Clemson.

The rest of the top 20 were: No. 11

Nevada-Las Vegas, No. 12 Louis­ville, No. 13 Notre Dame, No. 14 Indiana, No. 15 (Georgetown, No. 16 Oklahoma. No. 17 Texas-EI Paso, No. 18 Michigan State. No. 19 Illinois, and No. 20 Pepperdine.

Texas El-Paso returned to the rankings after a one-week absence and Illinois, which knocked off Georgia Tech Saturday, made it back to the top 20 after being out for seven weeks.

North Carolina State, ranked 18th last week, dropped out after four weeks in the ratings and Alabama, No. 19 last week, disap­peared after three weeks in the top 20.

The Big Ten placed four teams in the top 20 while the ACC and Big E)ast each bad three.

Mark Aguirre scored 42 points. giWng him 02 in his last two games, and Rolando Blackman added six of his 32 points in the second overtime Monday night as the Mavericks edged the Suns 139-133.

“ Rolando did more than we asked him to do,’’ Mavericks Coach Dick Motta said. "W e had a great two-man going with Ro and Mark.’’

Motta said Blackman made the ■ decisive basket despite being

fouled on the play.“ Ro was hit in the eye on the

winning drive," Motta said. “We thought be should have gotten a foul-shot. He didn’t, but we hung on to win it anyway.”

In other NBA games, it was Seattle 118, Houston 105; Los Angeles Lakers 127, (R>Iden State 117; and Milwaukee IIS, New York 100. .

Spring training roundup

Heman<fez lone dissenter to decision by Ueberroth

Com bined W ire Services

Keith Hernandez of the New York MeU is the only major- leaguer who has said he plans to appeal a decision that imposed penalties against 11 players in lieu of suspension for drug use.

Dave Parker of the Cincinnati Reds said Monday he would pay 10 percent of his salary to drug rehabilitation programs, accept periodic drug testing and perform 100 hours of public service work. The penalty, in lieu of a one-year suspension, was handed down Friday by (Commissioner Peter Ueberroth.

Hernandez announced last wee­kend that he would fight Ueber­roth’s decision.

“ A grievance will be filed through the players association,” Hernandez said. "When a decision is made by the arbitrator, I will make my decision on what I do.”

Parker, Jeff Leonard of the San Francisco Giants, Dale Berra of the New York Yankees and Enos Cabell of the Los Angeles Dodgers, have opted for compliance with Ueberroth’s ruling.

Joaquin Andujar of the Oaka- land A ’s and Lonnie Smith of the Kansas City Royals have not said what they will do.

At the Reds' spring training camp in Tampa, Fla.. Parker, wearing a handband that said. “ Ueberroth,” said he plans to play this year and would leave any challenges to the commissioner's decision to the Major League Players’ Association.

Parker, who hit .312 last year with 34 homers and 125 runs batted in, testified in a federal drug trial in Pittsburgh last year that he used cocaine while with the Pirates. He said he stopped using the drug before signing with the Reds in December 1983.

At tbe New York Yankees’ training camp in Fort Lauderdale. Fla., pitcher Al Holland said he would accept Ueberroth’s penal­ties as an alternative to a 60-day suspension.

Holland was one of four players who faced a two-month suspension under the commissioner’s action on drug involvement. Lfie Lacy of Baltimore also agreed to donate five percent of his 1986 salary to a drug prevention facility or pro­gram. be tested at random for drugs for the remainder of his career and perform 50 hours of drug-related community service this year.

*T accept tbe commissioner’s ruling,” the 32-year-old Holland

said. “ I'm not going to appeal or file a grievance.”

“ I had mixed emotions about it,” Holland said of the commissioner’s decision. “ I thought the parts about the drug testing and com­munity service were very fair. Anyone would accept that. Tbe money thing is something differ­ent. That’s bothering a lot of people.”

“ I wanted to wait until I had all the ins and out of it,” Holland said. "Now, I have a grasp of everything that happened. I feel part of it isn’t fair, but you can’t have your cake and eat it, too. The most important thing is we want to put it behind us. We were wrong.”

Atlanta's Claudell Washington and Larry Sorensen of the Chicago Cubs, also facing possible two- month suspensions, have not an­nounced their intentions.

Also at Fort Lauderdale, Phil Niekro, Tommy John and John Montefusco may not be with the New York Yankees this year, but Yankees owner George Stein- brenner saw to it Monday they will all appear in the official team picture.

Steinbrenner, standing in the dugout and observing the Yankees’ annual spring photo day activities, was angered when he suddenly spotted John, Niekro and Monte­fusco standing on the sidelines with all the Yankee rookies and non- roster players as the rest of the team was posing.

He ordered the photographer to stop and include the three non- roster players in the official team picture.

At Miami. Baltimore Orioles owner Edward Bennett Williams announced his support of Ueber­roth’s penalties for players linked to illegal drug use.

Two Baltimore players effected by ruling were outfielder Lee Lacy and second baseman Alan Wig­gins. The Orioles voted as a team last week to accept drug testing.

” I think you have to look at it from the perspective of whether its going to be a deterrent,” Williams said of the commissioner’s deci­sion. ” I think it is. I think he handled, it well. He has been innovative and fair.”

M eanwhile M anager E arl Weaver announced the pitchers for tbe Orioles exhibition opener Sat­urday against the Yankees. Scott McGregor will start and be fol­lowed by Mike Boddicker and Don Aase.

Herzog has named Rick Own- bey, non-roster pitcher Greg Mat­thews. John Tudor and Danny Cox as the starting pitchers for the first four exhibition games.

At St. Petersburg, Fla., New York Met pitchers Bruce Berenyi and Doug Sisk, who both under­went off-season surgery, will get their first game- situation tests Wednesday in an intra-squad game. Ron Darling will start the team's first exhibition game Fri­day against the White Sox in Sarasota.

At Winter Haven, Fla., Roger Clemens, who underwent arthros­copic surgei7 on his right shoulder last September, was named the starter of Boston’s third exhibition game. Bruce Hurst and AI Nipper get tbe call in the first two games.

” He threw yesterday and he’s fine today,” anager John McNam­ara said. ” f checked with Dr. (Arthur) Pappas (the team physi­cian) and there’s no reason why he can’t keep going.”

At Kissimmee, Fla., Houston first baseman Glenn Davis, who led the Astros with 20 home runs last season, signed a one-year contract, officials said. Team officials did not announce tbe terms, but Davis, 24, said he signed for $120,000. Last season, Davis bit .271 and drove in 64 nins after being called up from the team's Triple A team in Tucson, Ariz..

At Arlington, Texas, four play­ers, including third baseman Steve Buechele, signed one-year con­tracts with the Texas Rangers. 'The signings of Buechele and rookie pitchers Ed Correa, Jose Guzman and Dwayne Henry left the Rangers with six unsigned players on their 39-man roster. Buechele hit .219 with 6 homers and 21 RBI after being called up in mid-July last season.

Minnesota clinches a playoff berthCombined W ire Services

Tbe Minnesota North Stars veri­fied they will be in the playoffs Monday night while tbe Toronto Maple Leaf* moved closer to finalizing their post- season participation.

At Detroit, Dino Ciccarelli scored three second-period goals and Brian Lairton bad two to power the North Stars to an S-5 victory over tbe Red Wings. Minnesota won its third straight game to jump into second place in tbe Norris Division and clincta a playoff berth for tbe seventh straight season.

The triumph also helped To­ronto. The Maple Leafs, getting two goals from rookie Wendel Clark, defeated tbe Winnipeg Jets 6-P to nnove 15 points abead of Detroit for tbe final Norris playoff positioa.

(Hark set tbe Maple Leafs' rookie

scoring record with his 2Sth goal, propelling him ahead of team­mates Walt Poddubny and Peter Ihnacak.

" I t ’s great breaking the record but we can't stop here.” Clark said.

Clark has bran one of the key figures as the Maple Leafs have turned a tight race in fourth place into a laugher.

The 19-year-old left wing was the star in a game dubbed by Leafs Coach Dan Maloney as ’ ’probably tbe best 60 minutes we’ve played this year.”

"You ’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg,” said Maloney of (Hark. "H e ’s only going to get better. You’re going to see a great, great hockey player,.”

At Toronto, Clark’s first goal, at 12; 12 of the second period, came off assists from Russ Courtnall and Brad Smith. The 29tb goal came off a tbree-way passing play from Smith and Courtnall at 2:31 of tbe

third period to extend Toronto’s lead to 5-1.

(Hiris Kotsopoulos, Tom Fergus and Poddubny also scored for the Maple Leafs. Bengt Lundholm got Winnipeg’s lone goal.

The North Stars have won nine of their last 12 games and Ciccarelli has 10 goals in that span, giving him 31 for the season, 'hie veteran right wing got off to a slow start after his 9-month-otd daughter. Jenna, was severely burned in a housetold accident.

“ My daughter got hurt after about four games.” Ciccarelli said. "The team was fair about it and gave me as much time as I needed, but I came back too early.

“ I was thinking about it. It was in the back of my mind all of tbe time. Once she started feeling a lot better, I started getting more comfortable. When I knew she was going to be OK, .1 started concen­trating and just went out and

played hockey.”Detroit fell to 13-46-5 with its 10th

defeat in 11 games. The loss was the 22nd at home for Detroit, equalling the team record set in 1975-76.

Minnesota's Brian Lawton says can’t figure out what the Wings are doing wrong.

” I don’t know what their prob­lem is,” said Lawton, who has scored seven goals in his last six games, including two during a five-goal second period against Detroit. "W e all know they have a talented team. They came into our building and beat us (Dec. 17).”

His boss said be might have some idea.

‘Both games I can think of we’ve scored in spurts.” said Minnesota Coach Lorne Henning. "W e 've got up and then it would be a gride-open game. When you’re down a little, a team has to take chances. That’s what happened tonight.”

Latest protege of Bela Karolyl

Phillips has all the tools for successBy W ill Dunham Unitgd Press Intem otlonol

FAIRFAX. Va. - Coach Bela Karotyi, tbe man who molded Nadia Comaneci and Mary Lou RetUM into Olympic gold medal­ists, says bis latest protege, IS-year-oM Kristie Phillips, “ has all the eiemciits” for the same kind of gymnastics super-stardom.

The 4-foot-9, 78-pound straw­berry blonde dynamo fought off a cballenfe from Bulgaria’s Bor- jana Stojaoova to grin tbe Ameri­can (jnp competition Sunday. It wag tbe first true internatiaaal field in gdiicta tbe Baton Rouge, La., eigbtb-grader has competed.

Both Comaneci, tbe Romanian grbo captured tbe 1976 Olympics, and Retton, tbe 19B4 (Msrmpic champion, used first place tri­umphs in tbe American Cup as tbe launrhhig pad for their careers.

Karoiyi, tbe former Romanian now baaed in Houston, said Phillips is actnally one-up on Retton in her

preparation for the 1988 Olympics.” Sbe has tbe potential to be tbe

next Mary Lou. She's in very good shape and she’s technically ahead of Mary Lou at this stage. I have already coacbed her for Vh years and I have more time to polish her technique than I did with Mary Lou,” Karoiyi said.

- Phillips, who started in gymnas­tics as a 5-year-old, grabbed tbe vauH (9.85), balance beam (9.67S) and floor excercise (9.8) competi­tions, grtaile placing fourth in the uneven bars (9.45) to edge out Stojanova and tbe Soviet Union’s Irina Baraksanova.

"Kristie is very consistent. She doesn’t rely on a spark in one event, but tlw balance beam is her best event. Kristie bas ail tbe elements — flexibility, coordina­tion, strengtb and she’s a great dancer,” Karoiyi added.

Phillips, tbe U.S. national junior (dumpiOT, won the 1985 all-around titles in the Junior USA Champion­ships in Salt Lake City tbe U.S.

Classic in Atlanta. Rut those titles may be only a prelude to greatness.

” I was under a lot of pressure,” Phillips said. ” I never competed against tbe Soviet Union and East Germany before. I just wanted to do my best.”

Phillips’ favorite and most elec­trifying performances have come in the floor excercise. In fact, in tbe American Cup she needed a 9.7' heading into tbe fi(>or excercise, tbe final event, to secure tbe title. Iie.r rousing performance drew shrieks of appreciation from the sell-out crowd of about 19,g00 and a 9.8 from tbe judges.

“ I bad no earthly idea of what I needed to grin, but I knew it was dose,” Phillips said.

Like Retton did in tbe years before tbe Loo Angeles Games, Phillips now lives in Houston for full-time training at Karolyi's gsrmnastics dub in preparation for tbe U8S Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea.

BUSINESSBank can refuse money market withdrawal

QUESTION: M y husband and I are thinking of putting $76,000 in a new "money market plus account' ’ offered by our bankxThe interest on this account fluctuates, but it has been averaging about 7.2 percent. We do not want to have our money in a six- or U-month certificate of deposit, since we would like to have access to our funds more often.

Enclosed is a brochure explaining the account. Do you think this is right for us?

ANSWER: Not unless you’re willing to tie your money up for three-month periods. The literature you sent along states that withdrawals can be made only during the first seven days of each calendar quarter —January, April. Ju ly and October.

That strict withdrawal restriction makes the account similar to a three-month C D , which is renewed every time it matures.

The interest is a good deal higher than the 5.5 percent on old-fashioned savings accounts. However, it’s not that much greater than what is available on bank money market deposit accounts, which have been averaging about 6.7 percent lately. You can make withdrawals from M M D As any time you like.

When you tie your money up for any period of time — even three months — you’re entitled to higher

William A.^Doyle

interest than M M D As pay. By shopping around, you should be able to find banks and savings and loan associations with three-month CDs paying higher rates than that account you’re considering.

Summed up. I ’d give that bank’s "m oney market plus account” a "m inus” rating. In this new era of deregulated banking, you can do better elsewhere.

Q U E S T IO N : Having an immediate need for money, I went to m y bank to cash a certificate of deposit. I fully expected to pay an early withdrawal penalty for cashing that C D before its maturity.

But what a shock I got. The bank refused to cash the C D . I spoke to the teller, the branch manager and to a vice president. A ll said, “ It is the bank’s policy not to redeem CDs before m aturity.” Can they get away with this?

A N S W E R : Yes, indeed! A C D isaco ntractbetw ena depositor and a depository institution. You agreed to leave your money on deposit for the length of time specified. The bank agreed to pay a specified rate of interest. The contract can’t be broken unilaterally.

Most banks and savings and loan associations allow depositors to redeem CDs before m aturity and charge early withdrawal penalties, but some flat-out refuse to do so and insist that the money remain in CDs until m aturity.

OQ U E S T IO N : Who determines the size of early

/withdrawal) penalties on certificates of deposit redeemed before their maturities?

A N S W E R : Federal regulations set the “ m inim um ” early withdrawal penalties, which vary depending on when each C D was issued. F o r those issued since Oct. 1,1983, the m inim um penalty is the loss of one month’s interest for CDs with maturities of up to one year and

the loss of three months’ interest for CDs with maturities-of more than a year. M inim um penalties are higher for CDs issued before Oct. 1,1983.

However, each bank and savings and loan association is free to levy penalties higher than the federal minimums. Many do. It ’s wise to check the penalty before obtaining a CD.

QUESTION: I have some certificates of deposit in m y name and m y wife’s name. M y wife is now deceased. When the CDs mature, can I reinvest them and put someone else’s name on them?

ANSWER: Certainly. When your wife died, you became the sole owner of those CDs. They are yours to do with them as you like. When they mature, you can get CDs in your name alone, or jointly in your name and some other person’s name

You can redeem the CDs right now, without penalty. When one of the owners of a jointly owned C D dies, the survivor can cash it and the bank or savings and loan association is prohibited, by federal regulation, from charging any early withdrawal penalty.

Doyle welcomes written questions, but he can provide answers only through the column.

(B R ID G E P O R T — Business E x ­

press airlines plans to restore commuter service between Con- nectioit and Washington. D.C.. but clain . .. have no designs on new routes following its purchase of a controlling interest in Groton- based Pilgrim Airlines.

” We do not anticipate going beyond the merged airlines' routes,” James McManus, presi­dent of Business Express said at a news conference Monday, when he announced ■.■■at his company had bought 80 percent of Pilgrim 's stock and that negotiations were underway for the purchase of the remaining 20 percent.

The outstanding stock is cur­rently owned by New Air, a New Haven airline that merged with Pilgrim last spring.

P ilgrim ’s founder and largest shareholder. Joseph M. Fugere. said Friday that he sold control of his airline to Business Express, but neither he nor Business Express officials would reveal details prior to the news conference.

Even in making the announce­ment, McManus would not divulge the purchase price. Pilgrim and Business Express are both private companies not required to release financial data, he said. Addition­ally, he said Fugere did not wish the price disclosed.

McManus said Business Express immediately would restore Pil­g rim ’s former routes from Groton.

Stocks show new gains

N E W Y O R K (A P ) - The stock market moved higher in early trading today, lifting the Dow Jones industrial average back up above the 1,700 level.

The Dow Jones average of 30 blue chip issues rose 5.44 to 1.702.11 by 10:30 a.m. on Wall Street.

Gainers outnumbered losers by about 7 to 4 in the early tally of issues listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The N Y S E composite index was up 0.24 to 130.33.

New Haven and' Bridgeport to Washington, replace P ilg rim ’s fleet of what he called "slow, old and unpressurized” planes and improve the airline’s on-time performance and the quality of its staff.

" F o r one thing, passengers will see happy employees,” McManus ' said in a reference to a frequent criticism of P ilgrim ’s employees as disgruntled.

Pilgrim has had other problems of late, including significant debt and the recent seizure by the state of a Pilgrim plane in a dispute over $11,000 the airline owes Connecti­cut in fuel taxes.

“ It ’s no secret Pilgrim h a s ^ d some troubled times of late,” McManus said. "T h e ir financial condition has been deteriorating rapidly.”

Neither McManus nor Fugere would supply earnings figures.

James J . Rice, chief of the aeronautics bureau of the Connec­ticut Department of Transporta­tion. estimated P ilg rim ’s worth at between $10 m illion and $12 million.

McManus said the purchase of P ilgrim will include the airline’s debt, most of which relates to equipment financing. McManus said the extent of P ilgrim ’s debt was unknown, but that an audit was underway to determine the amount. "Th e debt I am aware of ... is quite reasonable, not oner­ous.” he said.

F o r the time being. Pilgrim will be operated separately under the name Business Express-Pilgrim , but McManus said the operations likely would be combined under the name Business Express in 12 to 18 months.

Using current figures, the com­bined companies have 32 aircraft and 450 employees and estimated annual revenues of about $35 million. McManus said the airlines carried a total of about 375,000 passengers in 1985.

McManus, who is chairman of Business Express' parent, the W estport-bas^ Marketing Corp. of Am erica, said it was "too early to tell” how many of Pilgrim 's 325 workers would be laid off. Never­theless, he said “ there will be some consolidation" of employees, par­ticularly of ticket-counter and maintenance personnel.

Market woes keep farmers guessingBy Don Kendall The Associated Press

W A S H IN G TO N — Farm ers and ranchers who put meat and poultry on supermarket shelves are hav­ing more problems than usual tp^ing to plan their operations and financing for this spring.

It ’s also a tough time for Agriculture Department econo­mists. who by now usually have a fairly good idea of feed supplies, prices and the attitudes of lives­tock producers. I t ’s different this time.

"Th e whole total picture is a lot

of uncertainty,” U S D A economist . John Nalivka said Monday. "A nd it has a lot of things that we’ve never dealt with before.”

N alivka said the depressed agrarian economy is a factor as cow-calf operators decide whether to hold onto heifers and add to their breeding herds, or to use them as replacements and m ark time for another year or so. If it’s too tough financially, more heifers and cows will be sent to market.

Even for those producers not in a serious financial bind, it’s a tricky

’ time for making decisions, the

economist said.

Last week, the department’s Economic Research Service re­ported that the usual agency forecasts "a re clouded by the new farm b ill” and the G ra m m - Rudm an balanced-budget law, which is forcing the U S D A to cut back on many of its programs.

Crop producers were supposed to begin signing up Monday for 1986 programs, including programs for corn and other feed grains that bear heavily on livestoci’ produc­tion. But the signup was p. stponed

several days because of a legisla­tive snarl in Congress, adding to the uncertainties.

Another unknown is the "whole herd buyout” program aimed at sending surplus dairy cows to slaughter over an 18-month period. The effect of tha* program on 1986-87 beef supplies and prices is anybody’s guess.

Meanwhile, the U.S. cattle in­ventory as of Jan. 1 was reported at 105.5 million head, the lowest for that date since 1963, according to the agency’s report.

The legislators said they would not push one program or another at the forum, but rather wanted to listen to what the people had to say.

“ We’re here, honestly, to listen,’ ’ Zinsser told the crowd Jammed into the school auditorium. “ We’re here to gather information.”

5Nursing home owners agree to begin taiks

to ' ■ T’Rwr

By John F. Kirch Herald Reporter

' .The owners of the Crestfield- Fenwood nursing home have agreed to abide by a federal order and begin contract negotiations with the union that represents service employees, ending more than a year of struggle that has involved a bitter strike and a number of legal disputes.

The National Labor Relations Board in Hartford and attorney Alan I. Scheer, who represents the owners of the Vernon Street nursing home, contacted represen­tatives of the New England Health Cere Employees Union. District IIM , late this morning and in­formed them of the decision to bargain, .a union spokesman said today.- .B ill Meyerson, District 1199's communications director, said the union was not surprised by the decision. He contended that the owners were faced with “ judg­ment day” without a case and had no choice but to bargain.' Meyerson was referring to a

March 13 hearing scheduled before }h e Second Circuit Court of Ap-

:i>eals in New York City. The hearing was set after the owners refused to recognize the union and the NLRB sought federal court enforcement of its order that they come to the bargaining table.

The owners' decision means that the case will not go before the federal court.

“ We've been saying all along that they didn’t have a case,” Meyerson said. “ I think that faced with going before a federal judge with nonsense, they decided not to prolong the agony.”

Scheer. who confirmed that the case would not go to court, said today that the key to the decision ^aa a ruling last week by the U.S. ;^upreme (taurt that affected ^ ovm en’ position on why the union Bid not deserve recognition. The court decision "had the effect of making our case a moot point," he said.

What the court overturned was a 1932 NLRB ruling saying that unions were not allowed to limit voting in affiliation or disaffilia­tion elections to union members. The decision affected the Crest- field situation because the owners were alleging that District 1199's parent union had illegally severed its ties with another union, leaving workers confused in a December 1934 union election at the facility.

Union spokesman Meyerson said that a meeting will be held soon to work out a contract proposal for about 60 nurse's aides, kitchen helpers and other service em­ployees.

He said he did not know when contract negotiations would begin or what the union's proposals would be.

Meyerson was unaware of whether the Crestfield-Fenwood employees who were on strike from Oct. 21 to Jan. 28 knew about the owners' decision.

The employees walked off their jobs to protest the owners’ refusal to recognize the union or negotiate. The NLRB in Washington had certified District 1199 as the legal bargaining agent Oct. 1 and on Dec. 31 ordered the owners to begin talks.

The owners — Vernon social worker Howard Dickstein and Manchester attorneys Holland Castleman and Josiah Lessner — had refused to bargain because they said that District 1199 did not represent an “ uncoerced major­ity ” of the service employees at the 155-bed nursing home.

The owners charged workers were confused when they voted 46-40 in December 1984 to allow District 1199 to represent them.

The strike, which led to vandal­ism and other incidents against both the strikers and workers crossing the picket line, ended in January when union and manage­ment representatives reached an agreement with the federal court in New York. The court said it would expedite the NLRB ’s case if the strikers went back to work.

Contra aid faces first test on HiiiBy Matthew C. Quinn United Press international

WASHINGTON - A group of House Democrats said today Pres­ident Reagan's policy of military pressure against Nicaragua is a failure and urged the White House to pursue fresh negotiations with the Sandinistas.

In a policy statement, the 20-member Democratic Caucus Task Force on Central America urged defeat of Reagan’s proposal to provide $70 million in military aid and $30 million in non-military aid to the Contra rebels battling the M a r x i s t - l e d S a n d i n i s t a government.

Defense Secretary Caspar Wein­berger defended the request before the House Armed Services Com­mittee, one of eight congressional

com m ittees considering the proposal.

The Democrats, chaired by Rep. Mel Levine. D-Clalif., said the United States has legitimate secur­ity interests in Central America and should make it clear that it will not permit the establishment of “ Soviet bloc military bases or the deployment of troops" in the region.

But the group said “ five years of a policy centered on the use of military force have fliiled'' to produce peace and the administra­tion should seek direct negotia­tions with Managua to stop the arms buildup in the region a ^ the spread of subversion.

“ We do not believe that it should be the policy of the United States to seek the overthrow of the Nicara­guan government, or to provide

military assistance to insurgents fighting against it," the group stated.

“ Military pressure on Nicara­gua has not worked. Diplomatic measures have not been tried with sufficient commitment. We be­lieve that a new energetic effort at negotiations is urgently required."

Secretary of State G ^ rge Shultz fielded tough questions on the proposal Tuesday from House Democrats. As he did last week, he argued the Contras are the “ good guys” and called the Sandinsta government a “ cancer" threaten­ing the stability of the hemisphere.

Defense Secretary Caspar Wein­berger appears before the House Armed Services Committee today, and the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Western Hemis­phere Affairs also opens hearings

on the aid request.In a related development, a

General Accounting Office official . says that millions of dollars in U.S. aid already given to the Contras cannot be accounted for by the State Department, The Washing­ton Post reported today.

The missing money is part of the $27 million in humanitarian aid approved by Congress last fall.

Frank C. Conahan, director of the GAO'S national security and international affairs division, said in testimony prepared for delivery before Congress today that the Department is unable to trace the fate of the funds.

Department audit controls “ can­not verify actual delivery or receipt of items” in the field by the

Measure guarantees job leave for parents

T O D A Y ’S H E R A L D

WASHINGTON (AP ) — Com- , panies would have to give workers ' time off to care for newborn, sick or newly adopted children, and- provide leaves for employees with serious illnesses under a bill proposed in Confess.

The bill was introduced in the House on Tuesday and is to be introduced later this week in the Senate.

The bill would require compan­ies to give parents up to four months off every two years to care for children and would require that leaves of up to six months a year be provided for workers with health problems.

Companies, however, would not

be required to pay employees taking the time off.

Rep. Stewart B. McKinney. R-Conn., a co-sponsor of the bill, said, “ It's simply saying the federal government is going to recognize the changing" definition of a fam ily."

McKinney said the bill recog­nizes there are more women in the workforce and provides that either mothers or fathers.could take time off to be with a new or sick child.

Sen. Christopher J. Dodd. D- Conn.. who is sponsoring the bill in the Senate, said women now make up 44 percent of the nation's labor force. I
