>**A-$*ft^':?» - NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE AUIROSDACKS DAILY UKVEKTY-FOUBTB TEAS VOL. LXXm NO. WO COIL Con Coirmittee Favors oreverWfld\ Poky, 14-9 N.Y. (AJ>) — New State's forest preserves will remain \forever wild\ if the State Constitutional Conven- tion follows the recommendation of its Committee oh Natural Re- sources and Agriculture. By a vote of 14-9 Tuesday, the committee approved a proposi-' lion that, a spokesman ex- plained, shortens but retains the basic language of the present Constitution's \forever wild\ concept. The committee $lso defeated, by margins of 13 - 10, amend- ments offered by two Republi- can-Conservative delegates that would have altered the forever vvild provision. Offered by delegates William E. Bensley of Springville and Stanley P. Spisiak of Elm a, the amendments would have dealt with the forest preserve co«m- ties outside the actual bounda- ries of the Adirondack and Cats- kill parks. The two park s are within the so-called blue-line area of the preserve. Behsley's amendment would have permitted an exception to the \forever wild\ concept in any are a outside the blue-line used by the state for purposes of forest or wildlife conserva- tion. Spisiak offered an amendment that would change from IX) to 100 acres the amount of land that could be used for any state pur- pose within tfre forest preserve outside the bine line. The first paragraph of the pro- posed new article is identical to the language in the present Con- stitution. It reads: \Forest Preserve to be kept forever wild. The lands of the state now owned or hereafter ac- quired, constituting the forest preserve a s now fixed by law, shall be forever kept a s wll d forest lands. They shall not be leased, sold ot exchanged, or be taken by any corporation, pub- lic or private, nor shall the tim- ber theron be sold, removed or destroyed.\ Cancer Society Donates $11,000 To Hospital for New \Scanner\ The Franklin County Unit of the American Cancer Society has donated $11,000 to the Gen- era] Hospital of Saranac Lake for the purchase of a \scanner\ for use with radioisotopes in the diagnosis and control of the treatment of cancer. This wa s announced today by Dr. Richard G. Gould of Sar- anac Lake, president of the Franklin County Unit, and by Dr. Daniel J. Collins of Tupper Lake, who is & member of the Board of Directors of the Fin- ance Committee of the N e w Private Companies Oppose Enlarging State Power Role ALBANY, N.Y. (AiP)—Top of- ficials of the private utility com- panies in New York State lined up solidly today against any constitutional provision aTmetT at enlarging the state's role in electric-power production. Democrats criticized the gov- ernor's plan on the ground it excluded the State Power Au- thority from participating in the development of nuclear-powered electric generating plants. ^Kennedy charged that the plan would deprive the state of a At a hearing held by the State, wouia deprive Uie state ot a ™«Htntin» a i HnnvAntinn's r^m- needed check on private utili- Constitutional Convention's Com- mittee on Economic Develop- ment, spokesmen for tt*e seven private! utilities held \there is no need whatever\ far further expansion of public power in the state. Further, the spokesmen said, on statements prepared for the hearing, the state's role in pow- er development \should not be defined by constitutional provi- sion, but should be freely deter- mined at any time by legislation based on current considera- tions.\ The utility spokesmen were among nearly a score of top- - flight electric-production leaders on the 'committee's agenda. Originally, today's hearing was thought to be the arena for reopening a battle over public- versus-private power between U. S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, the state's leading Democrat on the national scene, and Republican Gov. Rockefeller. — JKennedy T -who -has^ criticized Rockefeller's electric.. - power plans, was to have testified. Delegate Harold L. Fisher, D- ties. The bill proposed by Rockefel- ler gained approval in the Re- publican ruled Senate but was killed in the Democratic domi- nated Assembly, In a telegram to the commit- tee, today, U.S. Sen. Jacob K. Javits urged the Convention to take a flexible approach to the question of private-verpus-public power. The Republican senator said it would be \unwise to restrict either public or private develop- ment when the most efficient and least costly method is still ,to be learned.\ He noted that the State Power Authority served as * source whereby the Public Service Commission could determine the proper rates to be charged by private utilities.

It was the state Finance Com- mittee that £ av e approval for the donation to the Sar a n a c Lake hospital. These funds will be supple- mented by approximately $5,000 from the Eilee riMae Neale Fund at the hospital and thus make the purchase possible. Dr. Gould stated, \This 111,000 is made up of funds left to the Franklin County Unit of the American Cancer Society under the wills of the late Chri- stina M; Grdway, Frances w. McCrae, Jesse $. B. Jackson and Elsie Davis Stehr. The Board of Directors feels these funds will provide the most good for the most people if used for trjis vital equipment. With the presence of this equipment within Franklin County, the funds should save many sick persons long trips out of the county, or even the state, to re- ceive the same benefits. We feel this was the intent of these generous donors.\ It is not normally the policy of the American Cancer Socie- ty to donate funds for equip- ment; however, these funds were left to the local unit to best serve county and local cancer patients and rather than have them serve only a few peo- ple each year, the local oBard felt this was the most adequate use of the bequests.

Otto Kemer ordered National Guardsmen early today to put down the outbreak. Sporadic sniping and some hurling of fir e bombs was re- ported by police Tuesday night and early today in the stnaL Midwest town which had racial trouble Sunday night. The commanding officer of the 50 National Gu a rdsmen, Lt. Jerry Lebo, said his men cor- doned off an all-Negro public housing project and would re- turn any sniper fire. The home of a Negro woman in West Baton Rouge, La., was the target of an explosion late Tuesday night. The blast dam- aged the lawn and the front of the home of Viola Logan, a re- tired school principal and an active member of the ail-Negro West Baton Rouge Improve- ment Association. Negro youths reported they saw white persons throw some- thing on the lawn and then speed away. In Erie, Pa., racial disturb- ances again led to fire out- breaks as they had -last week. Police said two fires were set Tuesday night in the same Ne- gro section as the previous out- breaks. Destroyed by one of the blazes was a rag processing plant. Its owner estimated damages at 1150,000. In Greensboro, N.C., a white man has been charged with burning a cross in the yard of a Negro minister, the Rev. Frank Williams, who recently moved into an all-white neighborhood. Arrested was J.R. McBride, a resident in the neighborhood. He and Clyde Webster, Identified as a Ku Klux Klan leader when he, too, was arrested, have been charged under state antiterror- ism laws. Both were released on 1300 bonds. A rock-throwing battle oc- curred Sunday night between a group of Negroes and whites in the neighborhood. The trouble was halted by more than 100 policemen rushed to the scene. Pol|ce since then have sealed off the area nightly to outsiders. Despite a few shots Tuesday night in PJainfield, N.J., the cities in that state where racial turmoil has been the worst in many years are calmer. Newark, which had nearly a week of bloody battles, had a tjuiet night ~as Negroes prepared\ to bury the first of their riot dead today.

Just .a month from today a new exchange student from the American Field Service- will ar- rive in Saranac Lake, and from a country never befor c repre- d w* in the 12 years the program has been operating. She is Lale Duran from Istan- bul, Turkey and she will be staying with the family of Dr. and Mrs. Alvin Volkman on Rockledge Road. Lale's parents are Prof, and Mrs. Lufti ( witrf*a couple oi dots over the u) Duran, and her father is a professor of admin- istrative law at the University of Istanbul. , , Lale should have no trouble with the language here. Aside from studying English for five years in school, she spent a full year in Cambridge, England (J959-60). Since she will be only 17 years just nine <iays after arriving here . she must have been about nine or ten during her stay in England, making it all the easier to learn the lan- guage. Lale's father was lectur- ing at Cambridge University during that year. 1 Lale indicates that her maj- or sports are swimming, volley ball and basket ball. Her other interests include non-classical music and modern painting and she is to continue her studies in political science. Since both of her parents are lawyers ( although her mother doesn't practice), there seems to be a legal-political science tendency in the family. Lale will; like all AFSers, be a member of the senior class at the Sarauac Lake Ceuiml High School. At home she has two more years at her school (Lise, like lycee in French, more advanced than our high school) before going to the uni- versity. A warning to our high school English teachers: Lale's fayor- it* authors are Willa Cather, Charlotte Bronte and T. S. Eliot. In the Volkman family here she will have three \sisters\ at home: the twins, Becky and Gretchen, 15, and Debby, 13. In - addition, during vacation periods she will have two \bro- thers\ Fred who goes to Col- umbia and Nick who will start his eollegfate career at Union College in Schenectady.

The NSA got brickbats trom its members for accepting money agency from that a government spies and in- fluences; the CIA blushed like an undercover agent who drops Jus badge at a Mafia meeting. But the student association still has its national headquar- ters in two expensive intercon- nected townhouses, and it is paying nothing for them under an agreement with the Inde- pendence Foundation of Boston. The foundation, the NSA pres- ident says, i s a CIA conduit, or way to pass things like money without revealing the real source. W. Eugene Groves, president of the NSA, says the foundation is not trying to collect rent. It simply wants to be rid of its ten- ant. The students want to keep their headquarters, but they don't want the CIA to pay for it. \They are in the hot seat a nd want us out of the building,\ says Groves. \We had one meeting with the attorney for the__CJA 1 Jte_was rather nasty, using a lot\ of bluff7tfirea!s~ThaT we punctured very easily.\ What kind of threats? \One is drying up the Inde- pendence Foundation in order that the leasor would no longer own the building.\ The CIA, being in the secrecy business, won't comment one way or another. But a source familiar with CIA operations says any thoughts of threats would be ridiculous. The Independence Foundation in the year s 1962 through 1964 listed contributions to the NSA of $50,5«.52, $55,010.15 and $48,- 988.09 in its income tax rec- ords. Records for later year* were not on file at the Founda- tion 7 Library in Washington. Ef- forts to reach a spokesman for the Independence Foundation were not successful. Groves s ays the independence Foundation and two other foundations now are submitting bills not connected with the rent. The third foundation named Chief nations at that time were Depu-j A s of ty Chief John Moody, who ser- •'-••- ved 23 years on the force, and Patrolman Wallace Gay, who had a combined total of Jiine this Bill morning Wallace ed that he was personally con- tacting every man in his de- partment to ask them to recon- sider their resignations and to return to work as \a personal favor\ to him. He said that he had already spoken to all but two memfoer s of the force and that they had agreed to stay on the job. Chief, Wallace added that his plea to his men to withdraw their resignations was made in the hope that a cooling off per- iod would permit negotiations with the Village Board and would lead to a final salary agreement for an increase in next year's budget. The police are requesting an increase of $17,993.12 for their twelve-man department (Editor's 'Note; The following statement was issued thi« morn- ing by Mayor Howard Hiley at therequestoftheVillage Board.) To correct an erroneous im- pression created in a letter to Saranac Lake residents signed by six Saranac Lake policemen and printed in yesterday's En- terprise, the Village Board herewith presents the taxpay- er's side of the issue. In an emotional appeal the policemen's letter said one man was trying to support a wife and baby on $56 a week and another man was trying to support a wife and four child- ren on $70 a week.

The man who resigned knew the salary scale when he join- ed the force. The Village Board worked many weeks on a police salary schedule in 19©. It was approv- ed by the police and the top six Police} approx imatc raise of $1000. These six men are now making stat- over $100 a week. The policemen's letter men- tioned benefits. On top of each salary, the village, through the taxpayers, pays nearly $1000 more a year fpr /e ach man in benefits. Policemen work a 40- hour week and receive three weeks vacation after five yean. The letter also said that six men resigned after the Bo*rd meeting on Monday night. la fact, by 5 p . m. Tuesday only two men had resigned and tfiese resignations were accepted at a special board meeting. Giving this impression that six men, or half oC the force, had resigned brought large headlines on some city papers and a story carried ttatewide toy the Associated Press. Since the headlines and sev- eral aspects of the story were untrue, Saranac Lake received much unfavorable publicity. The Village Board was hand- ed a conditional resignation signed by nine men and ac- companiett^by a salary sched- ule from the Police Depart- ment in Lake Placid. The Lake Placid schedule has not yet gone into effect,. Two of the police- men present said they wanted a yes-or-no answer to their re- quest. The increase asked for total- ed 517,993.12 covering 12 men. for a year. The twelfth man on the force is assigned for the summer months only. Presently the Police Depart- ment share of the budget is -H»J51—plug—1&796 in benefits- for a total of $78,547. if the raise asked for in the request were granted the police budget would go to $87,285.12 plus $H,05&99 for a total of $98,336.11 . This would be approximately one- third of the total amount in the budget to be raised by taxes. The police budget at present is one-quarter of tti e total amount 40 be raised through taxe*.
