By CHARLES W KELLV Urban Renewal got what we think is a shot in the arm Wednesday night when the Urban Renewal Agency and the City's Planning Com- mission agreed on a preliminary plan for the city. This Wednesday night the City Council is also expected to act. We hope it is an en- dorsement of the same plan. Approvals now are only preliminary, but very important to keep the program moving. Positive action by the City Council will give the city's consult- ants, David Rosen Associates of New York City a plan to further develop for final approv- al in three to four months. There are a number of what we would term health hazards or at least attractive nuisances around our city that nobody seems to be doing anything about. One structure located in the 11)00 block of Washington St. would be a dis- grace in the slums of New York City. Why do we have to tolerate it? I would suggest thai the authorities take a little time out of their busy schedules and look around. This is not the only piece of property in the city thai needs a bit of attention. Maybe instead of photographing the nice looking properties we should photograph a few of these, and let people see how the other half lives. City San- itary Inspector Edward G. Johnson might take a ride down Washington Street and talk to a few of the neighbors. If the existing laws don't have enough teeth to gel action, new laws should be enacted. The people should have lo live in this environment. Alert volunteer firemen avoided what could have been a tragic fire at DeKalb late Friday afternoon. The fire was bad enough, but would have been a real tragedy had one of the gasoline bulk tanks explod- ed. More than 100 firemen from 11 St. Lawrence County Departments raced to the scene. The men did an excellent job. Apparently Governor Rockefeller has decided that his State Lottery isn't going to work out and needs a big push. He has hired \promoters\ for the State Lottery. If there are political \plums\ to be handed out, we are always glad to see someone from Ogdensburg and St. Lawrence Coun- ty get one. Herb Maltby, who was an aide to Bob McEwen when he was in Albany has -ibeen appointed to one of the $9,000 a year \pi; ms.\ Lisbon seems to be having school board problems. The annual school district meet- ing was held Tuesday and the outcome seems to be vague. Who was elected? In one race for a school board seat, Donald Merkiey, the incumbent, was the declared winner by one vote over Ronald Winters. But that \proved to be just the beginning, according to our reports. A later count re- portedly revealed that a mistake had been made and Mr. Winters had won by four votes. The case has been referred to Al- bany. We have received a number of calls from Lisbon residents about the matter, but we can only report what we know. Authorities should work to resolve the problem as soon as possible. Gulf Oil Company's announcement Wednesday that they had purchased the Seymour Hotel property, and three build- ings owned by Mrs. James Akin was good news. Gulf is a very respectable company, and one that will construct an attractive building on the site. We think it will brighten up what is now a dead corner. The Seymour Hotel is expected to be razed this fall. The purchase was reported in this col- umn last week. We hope the action to delay the vote on the proposed St. Lawrence County Health Department by the Board of Supervisors is only temporary. The Board tabled a reso- lution Monday by Supervisor Joseph Sovie to enact a Health Department. The motion to table was offered by Supervisor Maynard Miller of the town of Clifton. It was sec- onded by Supervisor George Swift of Col- ton, chairman of the finance committee. Personally we thought that it was a cheap delaying tactic. If the supervisors felt that they didn't have enough information to act on the resolution, they should have stood up and said so. The reason given for tabl- ing the motion was to allow the House and Grounds Committee lime to study the housing problem hat might be caused by such a depart- ment. In our opinion it was a cheap stall. After the meeting a number of supervisors told us that they wanted to delay it be- cause they didn't have enough information about the program. If the supervisors didn't have sufficient information to enact then somebody goofed and the program should have been tabled for that reason, not. for the lack of space. Space can be fur- nished in Ogdensburg, Massena, Potsdam, Gouverneur. or the village of Canton. Su- pervisor Miller would have us believe that he might vote down a worthwhile program because of the lack of space. Space can be rented if needed. Sometimes this is the bes; way. There is no doubt that the delay was spearheaded by a group that felt that they needed additional information, The doc- tors did an excellent job in presentation. The people of St. Lawrence County are not getting the health services that they should. A Health Department could reme- dy this somewhat. Surveyor I grae lj Egyptian Jc Landing CJJ i is Today As Artille PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - Scientists said today the flight of Surveyor 4, hurtling toward a Sunday night landing on the moon, apeared lo be the most accurate launch to dale. If an in-flight correction is successful, a spokesman al the Jet Propulsion Laboratory said the 2,290-pound craft probably will land 80 miles southwest, of its intended target. \This indicates extreme accu- racy.\ the spokesman said. The target on the dry bay Si- nus Medii in the center of the moon is so rugged, officials said, that Surveyor was given only a 50-50 chance of landing gently enough to carry out its job-prospecting for iron with camera, shovel and magnet. The three-legged craft, launched Friday from Cape Kennedy. Fla., carries a digging scoop for a rudimentary experi- ment in the first chemical an- alysis of moon soil. Its initial projectory aimed the moon robot at a point 120 miles southwest of the 37-mile target area, which is littered with rocks, craters and ridges so rough thai the spindly craft could be upset or damaged. The flight controllers decided Friday night to delay 24 hours the steering rocket blast de- signed to aim it more squarely at the target. The in-flight maneuver, now set for 7:30 p.m. (PDT) would come with Surveyor 4 about 173, 280 miles from earth and 65,o<;o miles still to go with its speed estimated at 2,630 miles an hour. By delaying the correction, scientists said only slightly more fuel would be used and more tracking data would be provided for use in in-pointing the landing.

Judge Robert McDowell pass- ed the sentence in Monroe County Court Friday on Ronald W. Hazeltine, 23, of Rochester, who had pleaded guilty to a second - degree manslaughter charge in the April 3 death of his son, Wayne. An autopsy disclosed the infant had suf- fered skull fractures. Looters Are Again Busy In Riot-Torn Newark; Death Toll Is Now 14 By ART EVERETT Newark. N.J. iAP)—Looters were back in action Saturday and sporadic gunfire still crack- led down rain-splattered streets as a frightened city, torn by ra- cial rebellion, braced for more Negro rioting after three terri- ble nights of violence. The death toll officially was counted ait 14, including one white policeman who was gun- ned down by a sniper as he chased looters late Friday af- ternoon. Hospitals shortly after dawn reported the riot dead number- ed 16 but then revised it down- ward by two, blaming the error \on earlier confusion.\ In the Friday rioting, from midnight to midnight, the toll was 11. in- cluding two boys, 10 and 16 years old. City Hospital said 13 Negroes died in its wards, 12 from gun- shot wounds, and the other of a skull fracture in a riot-coraiect- ed auto crash. Originally, the hospital said the victims there totalled 15. Light rain began to fall as night ended. The showers didn't seem to bother looters. On Saturdays downtown New- ark, only a mile from the riot area, normally is crowded with shoppers. Two major department stores, Bamberger's and O'hrbach's, didn't open. Many other stores followed suit. Grace Kelly Haslnformal Look At The Fair With Her Family Montreal — Expo 67 could have been the exotic setting for an Alfred Hitchcock thrill- er Friday as one of his fav- orite former stars, Grace Kelly, moved through the crowds on the arm of a suave-looking gentleman in dark glasses. It's more than a decade since Grace faced a Hitchcock camera and the former Phil- adelphia society girl was at the big fair in her capacity as Princess Grace of Monaco. The gentleman in dark glasses was her husband, Prince Rainier, of the tiny Mediterranean principality. The royal pair were on a private visit to Expo with their children Caroline, Al- bert and Stephanie. The family arrived in Montreal Wednesday aboard an ocean liner and is enjoy- ing a few days privately before going to Ottawa July IB for their official wel- come to Canada. Tuesday, they will preside over Monaco's national day at Expo. The crowded day of visits for the prince and princess Friday included stops at the pavilions of the Telephone Association, Czechoslavkia, Thailand, Monaco, Jamaica, and the Kaleidoscope and Labyrinth pavilions. After leaving Labyrinth they were to go t o Fort Ed- monton, on La Ronde, and take a minirail ride round this amusement area of the exhibition. Another face for Expo VJUP-spottcrs Friday was Earl Mountbatten of Bur- ma, who Mas winding up a three-day visit to the fair. Lord Mountbatten started off his day with an hour-long visit to a genuine bit of transplanted Britain — the Bulldog Pub in the La Ronde amusement section of St. Helen's Island. As he sipped a pint of British draught beer he was introduced to all the pub's barmaids, most of whom are English girls who had immi- grated to Canada before Expo and now live in Montreal. He had a look round the La Ronde area, then went to the National Film Board's $1,290,- 000 Labyrinth pavilion on Cite du Havre to see the un- usual film presentation. Lionel Chevrier. commis- sioner-general for state visits to Expo 67, entertained Lord Mountbatten at a private lunch in the city's exclusive St, James Club. In the evening, he was the invited dinner guest of Sir William Oliver, commission- er-general of the British pavil- ion. In the late evening he was to take off by jet for London with his daughter, Lady Paricia Clabourne, his visit. The earl is a wi- who accompanied him on dower. Free entertainment which got the Expo crowds in the sunny, 74-degree heat were a colorful concert in the Soviet pavilion of singers, musicians and dancers from Uzbekistan, a jazz concert by the Yvan Landry quintet in the Cana- dian pavilion theatre, and a tatto in Place des Nations staged by the historic Com- pagnie Franche de la Marine and the Fraser Highlanlers By ROBERT TUCKMAN Saigon—(AP)—The mighty U. S. air base at Da Nang was reeling Saturday from a Com- munist rocket attack that loft wounded and 42 airplanes 8 Americans dead. 173 crippled or wrecked at a cost of $80 million. .. It was the worst punish- ment inflicted on the U. S. base, which has been hit twice in the past five months. Earlier. 13 Americans had been reported killed, but five Marines at first presumed dead were accounted for. The sprawling 1,600-acre base on South Vietnam's northern sea coast, launching pad for many of the bombing raids on North Vietnam, was shut down immediately after the attack. Crews went out to repair one badly-cratered 10.000-foot runway and sweep debris off another. The Communisst fired for 45 minutes early Sat- urday from two positions 4.3 miles southwest of the huge base. Their deadly- aim left little doubt the roekets had been well zproed-in in advance. The attack also wrecked four Air Force enlisted men's barracks. Six F4C Phantom jets, each worth nearly $2 million, were destroyed and 10 more were heavily damaged. Two Marine F8 Crusader jets and three Air Force C130 cargo planes were wrecked in the five-min- ute Communist barrage of 140mm rocket 120mm and fire Friday. It was the third raid on the base in the last five months and, said one U. S. spokes- man, \the worst.\ Fifteen phi'ie; uarV^'j -J a corner of the fk.: ;• recieved minor damage from flying shrapnel, said Air force Col. Robery Maloy of Coral Gables, Fla.. commander of the base's 366th Tactical Fighter Wing. U. S. officers estimated that 50 rockets were fired, some 120s and some 14(ls. The 130mm rocket is the largest in the enemy ar- senal. Planes en route to Da Nang were diverted to other bases in South Vietnam and Thai- land. The Viet Cong executed a jailbreak Friday night 20 miles south of Da Nang. The guerrillas began by firing 30 cial jail at Hoi An. Then about mortar rounds at the provin- 60 of them charged the jail with satchel charges and freed 1,200 prisoners. Tn another development. the United States offered a reward of 50 taels of gold— worth ' about $5,000 in Viet- nam to any North Viet- namese who helped a downed American flier escape to free- dom. The offer was made in a drop over North Vietnam of 16 million leaflets signed by U. S. Ambassador Ells- worth Bunker rope Pay Visit To Turkey Vatican City — (AP) — Pope Paul VI said Saturday he will fly to Turkey July 25 on a two- day visit to discuss with Greek Orthodox Patriarch Athenagor- as of Istanbul ways to safe- guard the holy places of Jerusa- lem, now in Israeli control. His announcement, came after the Pope received the report of ?4sgr. Angelo Felici, the spec- ial papal ei'- • : . to the Middle EL..it who returned Friday night. from talks with Israeli author- ities in Jerusalem. •- There was no disclosure of what Msgr. Felici told the Pope, who has urged internationaliza- tion of all of Jerusalem and not just of the holy places. Israeli authorities were reported to have told the Pope's envoy they would agree only to internation- al control of the holy sites. It will be the Pope's fifth trip outside Italy in the four years of his pontificate. He said he would visit Istan- bul and then go to ancient Ephe- sus, 30 miles inland from the Agean port of Izmir, to visit the \House of the Madonna\ where the Virgin Mary is said to have spent her last year.
