1° fel | Ao\ if“ R P Jetport Approach It is all very well for someone to call for everybody to be \open-minded\ on the location of a jetport south of Batavia. * This is a platitudinous ap- ' proach. The thing that counts is whether it is good for the welfare and the future of Genesee County and its people. : As the matter stands now, indications are that con- sultants to the State Depart- ment of Transportation-and this is quite firm-will soon recommend this as the No. 1 site. - Their recommendations, of course, will be in terms of engineering, site develop- ment, costs and what they deem best for the traveling public and regional tran- sportation needs. Its impact on Genesee County will necessarily have low priority on their scale. It is already apparent that Erie and Niagara Counties, as represented by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, frown upon the Genesee County location and are bracing for a stiff fight. Monroe County is similarly skeptical. - It is going to take con- siderable time before the State Transportation Dept. comes forward with its final recommendation. This is fortunate because it gives Genesee County and its leaders opportunity to get down to brass tacks, engage in thorough research and analysis, come up with an answer not based on dreaming but on logical, empirical hypotheses. This means avoiding at all costs taking for granted what someone else says. -BATAVIA DAILY NEWS SYRACUSE, N. Y.

The possible move has been the subject of hurried conferen- ces and contradictory state- ments in Washington, California 'and Florida in the past week. 'The Republicans began think- ~ ing about moving the conven- tion from the planned San Diego site when convention hall construction there lagged be- hind schedule and a shortage of hotel rooms loomed. - (The Los Angeles Times reported today' it had learned that Peter Graham, operator of the privately owned San Diego Sports Arena, in recent weeks increased the GOP's rent of the hall from $49,000 to a package amounting to - more $500,000. 7 (Both California Gov. Ronald Reagan and San Diego Mayor Pete Wilson have said the negotiations between the Re- publican National Committee and the Sports Arena manage- ment were at the heart of the threatened transfer.)

Republican National Chair- man Robert Dole was expected to return to Miami today for a speech, after meeting with party and municipal officials at a temporary headquarters in the Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach Saturday and Sunday. Dole flew to San Juan for another speaking engate- ment Sunday. ' Miami Beach hosted the Republican convention that nominated Richard M. Nixon for President in 1968 and it will be the site of the 1972 Democratic convention in July. Republican convention orga- nizer Richard Herman con- ferred with Florida Gov. Reubin Askew in Tallahassee, the state capital, on Saturday, after meeting with Miami Beach officials last week. The governor promised Her- man he would try to help the Republicans bring the conven- tion to Miami Beach, according to Don Pride, Askew's news secretary. - Pride said Askew, who will be | keynote speaker for the Demo- cratic convention, told Herman he would check with a bipartisan group that raised $100,000 , for the Democratic meeting, and see if they could _ come up with the same sum for the Republicans. The group is known as the National Political Convention Committee. The Miami Beach Tourist . Development Authority already has pledged $250,000 toward GOP convention expense. CITY REALLY SPROUTED CUPERTINO, Calif. (UPI) - This city grew in population from reports the Association of Bay Area Governments. That's an increase of, 397.2 per cent. \my own home on a temporary basis'\ to the residents of the camp. _\I belive that I can come up with a whole series of alternate proposals,\ the Medina attorney said as he concluded an hour and a half talk, \that will test the sincerity of the Village of Medina, the Rev. Oscar Amos, and Henry Steinglass.\ Cardone, who has been in- volved in a year-long court battle with Orleans Legal Aid, represented by attorney Henry Steinglass whose clients, the Birds Eye Rights Coalition were organized in-part by the Rev. Oscar Amos, said he would open his house to the residents if Amos, Steinglass and Medina Mayor John Cobb do the same. \I'm prepared to meet with anyone to bring about an im- mediate solution to the problem,\ Cardone said. \I don't think I can do anymore than this.\ Responding to an. an- nouncement Thursday that he would propose several solutions to the current stalemate which has embroiled his corporation, the village, and. various com- munity leaders for over a year, the gathering heard Cardone review the legal battle which has taken place between himself and Orleans Legal Aid. As he has maintained in legal briefs on file with the office of the Orleans 'County Clerk,; Cardone said he has always considered the property which Jim-Cor ° Enterprises purchased in 1969 \a migrant labor camp and nothing else.\ Cardone charged - that Steinglass became involved in the Jim-Cor battle because the Legal Aid attorney wanted \to create issues\ and \to bring about changes that - his organization - believes - are necessary for the community that we live in.\ Legal Aid has contended from the outset that the Olney Street property constituted a residence and that the relationship between Jim-Cor Enterprises Inc. and the people living at the facility was that of a landlord tenant. In legal briefs filed with the Orleans County Clerk's office, Steinglass has argued that because a rental agreement existed between Jim-Cor and the tenants, the facility would have to meet the housing standards of the Minimum Housing Standards Ordinance of the Village of Medina. Cardone, on the other hand, has maintained that because the facility was built as a migrant labor camp, it could never meet the standards of the village code, but only the standards of the New York State Sanitary Code which regulates migrant labor camps. In his Friday night address; Cardone indicted the Village of Medina, and the Orleans County Health Department for failing to take responsibility for settling the dispute which is still tied in the State's Supreme Court. Cardone said neither of the local governmental agencies had Barricades Manned To Halt British Invasion By COLIN BAKER BELFAST, Northern Ireland (UPI)-Gunmen openly manned sandbagged fortifications around Roman Catholic areas of Londonderry today in antici- pation of a British army attempt to oust them from the strongholds. In continuing violence North- ern Ireland gunmen wounded a policeman, a civilian and a soldier in Londonderry, another soldier in Belfast and fought a 30-minute battle with militia forces troops along the Irish * Republic border. , In Londonderry UPI reporte William Carson said gunmen wearing stocking masks erected . large sandbagged fortifications at strategic points leading into the Catholic Bogside and Creggan districts during the weekend. ' A Today, the gunmen manned the emplacements with sub- machine guns and other wea- pons. They stopped and ques- tioned all motorists and pede- strians entering the districts. The emplacements bristled with barbed wire and the green, white and orange tricolor of the Irish Republic. Spokesman for the Irish Republican Army's provisional and official wings said the emplacements were erected on grounds | that _ a _ full-scale invasion by the British army to oust the IRA from the areas was imminent. ~ _- William Whitelaw, Northern Ireland's new - secretary of state, last week ruled out an outright onslaught by the army into the areas on grounds that it would cost the lives of innocent civilians. British Prime Minister Ed- ward Heath has said, however, that his government could not long tolerate continued IRA control of the areas. In the Rosemount area of Londonderry gunmen shot a policeman twice in the back and a civilian in the wrist in a sumachine ambush near a police station Sunday. In other violence Sunday, snipers shot a soldier in the leg on the edge of the: Bogside district, wounded a soldier with a single shot in Belfast and fired about 60 - rounds of ammunition at a patrol of the Ulster Defense Regiment, a part-time volunteer force, near the border town of Castledurg. with the gas system —(J-R Photos) exercised their jurisdiction in the dispute which has dragged on since a temporary injunction enjoining the corporation from terminating utility services was sought by Legal Aid on May 11, 1971.

A leading scientist predicted it will be the most important cache yet brought back from the moon. John W. Young and Charles M. Duke left on the moon a 18.4 mile web of car tracks and footprints as testimony to man's only planned expedition to the rocky central highlands. The two moonwalkers and command module pilot Thomas K. Mattingly were adding more moon photography today to their scientific harvest, and they were to deploy a small satellite before blasting out of lunar orbit at 9:16 p.m. EST: and heading back home. They are due to splash down in the Pacific Ocean Thursday, a day early and 50 pounds overweight. Their heavy load of moon samples will be rushed to the Lunar Receiving Laborato- ry at the Space Center Saturday for preliminary analy- sis by impatient scientists. Of the five-hour moon explor- ation Sunday, flight director M. Pete Frank said: \It was really Medina Man Killed By Fall in Mixer Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 10:15 a.m., from Sacred Heart Church, following prayer services at 10:00 at the Gulinski Funeral Home, 420 Eagle Street, for Walter J.

Viets Retreat After Reds Begin Offensive By ARTHUR HIGBEE SAIGON - (UPID)-Communist forces spearheaded by tanks overran three major bases in the Central Highlands today and Sunday, opening their long- expected offensive in the area 280 miles north of Saigon. The tanks rumbled into Tan Canh, forward headquarters of the South Vietnamese 22nd Division, and Dak To II, a regimental base two miles to the west, this morning. Artille- ry Bawe Zulu, four miles south of Tan Canh, was abandoned Sunday and Artillery Base Dien Binh, close to Tan Canh, early today. Field reports said the South Vietnamese troops manning the bases fled through the jungles in an d@itempt to reach other South Vietnamese bases in the area. Four Americans were killed in the fighting around Dak To today when their helicopter was shot down by groundfire, the U.S. command reported. At Da Nang, a U.S. B52 bomber hit by North Vietna- mese missile fragments made a safe emergency landing and all crewmen were uninjured. The big eight-engine plane was hit by a Soviet-built surface-to-air missile (SAM) during a raid over North Vietnam, the second B52 to take missile flak in three weeks. The U.S. command said the B5% hit the port and road complex at Thanh Hoa in North Vietnam-the third raid by the big bombers over the Commu- nist country in nine days. Thanh Hoa is a majjor port complex 22% miles north of the Demilitarized Zone and 90 miles south of Hanoi. Another Incident In another incident at Da Nang, nine U. S. airmen were wounded when eight 122mm rockets hit the base. No aircraft were damaged in the shelling. Hanoi Radio claimed in a broadcast monitored in Saigon that, North Vietnamese forces shot down two raiding U.S. warplanes Sunday and set a U. S. Navy vessel afire. It did not identify the planes or ship involved and the U. S. command had no comment. Reports from the Central Highlands said Zulu and Dien Binh were battalion-size bases with about 500 men each. UPI reporter Matt Franjola said that at Tan Canh, Communist artillery scored a direct hit on the base's tactical operations center, - forcing a - retreat because communications were out. - The Communists apparently bypassed the isolated base of Ben Het, a former Green Beret camp no defended by Montag- nard border rangers, which is 10 miles west of Tan Canh and Dak To. The area involved is where the Vietnamese, Cambo- dian and Laotian frontiers come together. Other Outposts Bombarded Other outposts in the string of government bases around Tan Canh were heavily bombarded during the night and Americans retaliated with air strikes, which reportedly wiped out nine of 2D Communist tanks. Fighting continued both at An Loc, 60 miles north of Saigon, and in Cambodia. Few details - were available on the continu- ing clashes at An Loc, but a spokesman in Saigon said 4,000 rounds of Communist mortar and rockets have been dumped on the town in three days. In Phnom Penh, the Cambo- dian high command said fierce hand-to-hand combat was under way today in an isolated government outpost at Spean Tram, six miles west of the besieged provincial capital of Svay Rieng. _ It said the Communists pumped more than 500 rounds of 82mm mortar into the Cambodia position, which is on: a 60-mile stretch of strategic Highway 1 which now is under Communist control. The Com- munists followed the mortar barrage with a ground attack and the battle was continuing, the high command said. OEO Offers Plan Sure To Provoke WASHINGTON (UPI) -The Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), which has rocked few boats lately, has decided to go ahead with a controversial educational experiment that seems sure to cause high winds and hot words. The OEO today chose Alum Rock Union Elementary School District in San Jose, Calif., to receive its first educational voucher grant. . The basic purpose of the plan is to try to improve the education of children from poor families by making it possible for their parents to choose the schools their youngsters will attend. This would be done by giving the parents \vouchers\ backed by government funds to be used as tuition in public, private or church-related schools participating in the program. - By giving the poor as well as the afffuent an educational choice. at Sacred Heart Cemetery. Mr. Kozody accidently fell into a mixer which he was cleaning at the Thomas J. Lipton Plant, Albion, where he had been em- ployed for the past 15 years. According to a report of Coroner Ruth Barrett, Mr. Kozody died of a fractured neck. He also re- ceived fractures of his arms and severe cuts about the face. He apparently fell head first into the mixer his head strik- ing the sharp blades of the ma- chine which was not operating at the time. Harry Bailey, a fellow employee, told Albion po- lice that he was about 10 feet away at the time and that Ko- zody did not call for help and it is believed that he must have blacked out prior to his fall. Edward Wielgosz, who was in charge of the clean-up opera- tion, and several other employ- ees in the crew were also un- able to account for the accident. Mr. Kozody was pronounced dead upon arrival at Arnold Gregory Hospital. A native of Medina he was a veteran of World War II and a member of Sacred Heart Church. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Helen Sledzik Kozody; two step-sons, Mark and Paul Wen- grzycki at home; four sisters, Mrs. Adolph (Julia) Budynski of Waterport, Mrs. Leo (Bernice) Lucas and Mrs. Michael (Jose- phine) Wisnock of Medina, and Mrs. Walter (Sophie) Mann of Brockport; six brothers, An- thony, Joseph, Stanley and Hen- ry of Medina, and Andrew and William of Middleport. the crowning achievement for the Apollo 16 crew. I just don't know what could have been done better, or done more.\ Launch Still Operating Young and Duke rocketed off Descartes Base in full view of a television camera and rejoined Mattingly in- the command ship Casper at 10:35 p.m. Sunday. The camera that showed the launch still is operating and engineers hope it will last until - the sun sets over Descartes. Once docked to Casper, Young and Duke transferred 111 moon rocks and soil samples and 1,745 frames of film from Orion to Casper's storage lockers. The samples were coated with dust and at one point, Duke said: \Looks like a dust storm in this cockpit.\ The two astronauts finally glided through the manhole: sized tunnel linking the two docked craft about 2 a.m. today and retired for most of the morning. \As the sun sinks slowly in the west, we bid a fond farewell ° to old MCC (Mission Control Center),\ Young said after controllers bade them good night. . In roaming ° the - heavily cratered, boulder-littered sur- face, Young and Duke produced four moon exploration records. The Records Their 71-hour, 2-minute stay on the surface was four hours ronger than the mark set by Apollo 15 last summer, and they also spent. more time out of their spacecraft-20 hours and 15 minutes-than did their predecessors. They drove farth- er than Apollo 15, and Apollo 16's. haul of lunar samples is 75 pounds heavier than Apollo 15's, and 50 pounds more than originally planned for this mission. The greatest success of Young and Duke came Sunday when they drove their moon buggy ' up the slopes of the largest crater man has ever visited on the: moon. They sampled rocks as big as houses; found soil in a \gopher hole\ that had been shielded from the sun for millions of years; and measured the strongest magnet yet found on the moon. While Young and Duke were investigating the surface, Mat- tingly was mapping the moon from : Casper in orbit scientists said the results of the ship's radiation sensors were excellent. The Apollo program will end in December with the flight of Apollo 17 to the foot of the Taurus Mountains on the eastern edge of the Sea of Serenity. Like Apollo 16, Apollo 17 is planned as a 12-day mission, with three days spent on the lunar surface.
