MARTIN The year lOu 'O was the year when . . . The Demot-ratic Party swept the elections on a national scale and the Republican Party made a sweeping comeback in Suffolk. Hurricane Donna visited here , leaving behind a trail of uprooted trees and damaged homes . Special Prosecutor Edwyn Silberling ' s investigation of alleged corruption in Suffolk came to an end because of lack of funds. However , District Attorney John P. Cohalan , Jr., and a three-man detective team this week were preparing to con- tinue as necessary the probe. The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen called a strike against the Long Island Rail Road. Construction took great new jumps . . . fires took their toll of lives and property . . . automobile accident fatalities reached a now record high . . . and the population of Suffolk went up. Up, UP. Suffolk had its share of prominent visitors during the. past year , including Senator John F. Kennedy and the man he so narrowly out-raced in the presidential election, Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Their campaign trails ' touched Suffolk along with those of the vice president candidates , Lyndon B. Johnson and Henry Cabot Lodge. And , lest wc forget , there was also Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller , who helped break ground at the new State University College site in Stony Brook and, prior to the election , campaigned here for Mr. Nixon. The quiet little hamlet of Brookhaven made headlines in August when some of Hollywood' s top stars journeyed there for on location shots for the upcoming film , \Splendor in the Grass. \' Starring in the film are lovel y Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty, the handsome brother of actress Shirley MacLaii.e. Dur- ing the course of the shooting, Miss Wood was accompanied by her equally-famous husband , Robert Wagner , and young Beatty was paid a surprise visit by his beautiful fiancee , Joan Collins. And there was also the noted playwright , William Inge , famed director-producer Ella Kazan , and a supporting vast of actors and actresses , some of whom have starred in previous films and on Broadway. When Hurricane Donna took a swing at us here September 12 , wo were so well braced for the onslaught that damage was confined to trees , cars and an insignificant number of homes. Advance warning by the weatherman and plenty of publicity on how to go about \battening down the hatches \ tempered Donna ' s fury, which at times reached gusts of 00 miles an hour. Unlike past hurricanes , there were few reported injuries due to the storm and no deaths. Suffolk is ending its first year under the charte r form of Continued on page 6 , this section N.

RIVERHEAD — The Democrats this week will lose their majority on the Suffolk Board of Supervis- ors , as the Republican Southold Town Board meets tomorrow to appoint a supervisor to succeed Henry H. Tuthill , killed Friday nig ht in an auto ac- cident. Mr. Tuthill, a Democrat , was instantly killed in an auto crash in Ridge. The Republican Southold Town Board is certain to appoint a Republican to rep lace Mr. Tut- hill. Several peop le are being con- sidered , including Town Council- man Leste r Albertson and Austin Burt , defeated by Mr. Tuthill in 1959. The board is almost certain to appoint Mr. Albertson when it meets this weekend. Then it will have to appoint a councilman to replace Mr. Albertson. The Board of Supervisors will stand 5-to-5 after the appoint- ment , giving County Executive H. Lee Dennison the power of a lie- breaking vote. However, the Re- publicans can stop that vote by having one Republican supervisor abstain from voting on a key reso- lution. It then would not be a tie so Mr. Dennison couldn 't vote , but still the required majority of six- yes votes would not. be reached. All bills must be passed with at least six affirmative votes , except those requiring financial outlays which require seven affirmative votes. Mr. Dennison said he ' s study ing the possibility of legislation to amend the county charter so that whenever there are five affirma- tive votes he would have the right to cast the sixth vote. Yesterday, Mr. Dennison had bee n expected to face the first test with an effort to appoint Assistant County Attorney George W. Percy, Jr., to the county attorney ' s posi- tion , vacated by Henry M. Zale ski , who has resigned to become a Supreme Court justice. Mr. Den- nison decided to hold off , however, to await the organizational meet- ing of the Board of Supervisors, January 4.

The Long Island Rail Road this week requested of the Brookhaven Town Board permission to cross Brookhaven Township with buses as part of its proposed bus-rail transportation service. The board also received a letter from Long Island Transit S ystems, Inc., of Greenport , comp laining of the proposal. The town fathers reserved any decision and requested representatives from both Long Island I ransit S ystems , Inc. , and the LIRR to meet with them at 2 p. m.

He said that there would be three round tri ps per day on each route Monday through Friday. On Saturday, Sunday and holidays , he exp lained, there would be one round tri p from Hunting ton to Creenport via Riverhead and a re- turn trip from (Ireenport via Kiv- erhead to Konkonkoma. Mr. Buerger said: \The lAlttl will discontinue tbe operation of one train eastbound , one train westbound dail y between Konkon- kumn ami (ireenport although it is contemplated that additional rai ! service will still be made avail- able when the demand justifies it . such as on Summer weekends. \ The proposal , which was charac- terized as \ public convenience and necessity \ and as an \ economy \ measure b y Mr. Buerger , would call for fare rates as follows; (ireenport to Huntington , $l.f> ( i; Riverhead to Huntington , .$1. 0(1 ; (ireenport to Honkonkoiua. * . !»•]; and Rivcrhond to Honkonkoiua. $.11.
