P , Sweet-Bitter Laughter The late novelist and movie critic James Agee described a boyhood visit to a movie house with his father. They saw a Chaplin movie. The crowd's extraordinary reaction to the comic stayed with Agee for years. So did the walk home . with his father, with a long pause they made in the dark by a large rock, while they steeped in a sense of father- son bond. And so did the jarringly different attitude of his mother, who had stayed . home, stay with him. She thought the little comic \nasty.\ Just such a mixture of memory greets the return of Charlie Chaplin to America after 20 years' absence. Chaplin is remembered for his entire oeuvre, with such films as \Gold Rush\ (1925) and \Modern Times\\ (1936)- the best of their kind as satiric comedy-and for his in- stinctive understanding of the common man. Chaplin is remembered less flatteringly for some of his off- film pursuits, one 'of which was left-wing causes. - Times, of course, haye changed. The code of personal conduct that today's film and other celebrities get by with would swamp 'the Chaplin record, so that the revocation of the Britigh subject's entry permit by American authorities that occured when he was at sea in 1952 would be - unthinkable today. And of course, there can never be any official revocation where artistic achievment is concerned. Thus ift is well to have Mr. Chaplin return to America this week to receive special honors. On April 4 the Film Society of Lincoln Center will salute him. And on April 10, he will be the chief guest at the Academy Awards ceremony in Hollywood. Chaplin's return reminds us sharply that we need laughter today as much as ever before. -CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR Crangle Sees Ted Compromise BUFFALO, N. Y. (UPI)-The chairman of New York State's Democratic party predicts his party's national convention will fail to agree on a presidential nominee on the first ballot, and says Sen. Edward M. Ken- nedy may end up as a compro- mise candidate. State Democratic Chan-man Joseph F. Crangle, who did not rule out Maine's Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, said Wednesday he felt Kennedy, who is not a can- didate, was in the presidential picture. \'I'm convinced he doesn't want to be a candidate,\ Cran- gle said of Kennedy. \But he's in the picture whether he likes it or not. - \And because of the impor- tance of beating President Nix- son and the history of the Ken- nedy family in serving their country, he may be forced against his wishes to be a can- didate,\ Crangle said. \The results of the primaries reflect the mood of the na- tion,\ he said. \Andif there is this kind of unrest, it augurs well for the Democratic presi- dential nominee in November because people have traditional- ly turned to the Democratic party in times of unrest.\ Lottery NEW YORK (UPD) - The winning number picked today in New York State's weekly 50-cent lottery was 073309.

Lags, Obsolete ALBION - In a 'broadside attack on local government, Medina attorney Vincent Car- done this morning urged the Orleans County Board of Supervisors to review its posture on sales tax revenue, establish guidelines for the county's department of health and take a position on the work of the Orleans Legal Aid Bureau. _The recommendations followed approval by the board for roof repair work on the County Infirmary and Home. The go-ahead for work which one estimate places at about $9,000 in cost, was in the form of an authorization to advertise for bids. ‘ Cardone, currently embroiled in litigation with the Village of Medina on the Jim-Cor camp issue, criticized local govern- ment for needless duplication of work. . \Local government has become inefficient and inef- fective,\ Cardone said, \and people are not getting their money's worth. It is within your power to do something.\ Cardone said he was open to any recommendations including such \solutions' as a county managerial or legislative form of government. He cited the ap- pointment of two town justices in each township as unnecessary. The Medina attorney argued that the tax burden in the county has been shifted from rural to village residents. He said that as a result, it has discouraged people from moving into the county and industries from in- vesting. Cardone characterized the Welfare Work Plan Looks Like ALBANY, N. Y. (UPD) - A sampling of welfare cases by the State Department of Social Services shows that only four per cent of the recipients re- ferred for work receive jobs that last longer than four days The study of the state's requirement to put \employ- able\ recipients to work-made public Wednesday night- attributed the small percentage of successful job match-ups to the large number of persons failing to report as ordered, mistakes in referring people not capable of working, and the current high rate of unemploy- ment. The 56-page report, sent to Governor - Rockefeller, - con- cerned a three-month survey in nine welfare centers last fall. In the areas studied, 11,472 persons were ordered to plck up their checks at State Employ- ment Service offices, and be |_ placed in jobs. Of that number, 28 per cent were reported as \failure to comply,\ but six per cent were . found to be improper referrals. Another eight per cent had valid excuses for not complying, and four per cent found jobs on their own. The remaining 10 per cent |_ had their aid payments cut off, | the report said. The study did not go into possible savings from the plan. It found that the number of cases closed during the three- . month period was only .5 per cent higher than in the preced- ing year and a half. Failure Of those who were eventually confimed as \employable per cent were referred to jobs, but only four per cent were placed. Furthermore, of those who got jobs, one-third quit or were laid off during the first »week; another one - third were gone after four weeks, and only one-third were in the same jobs after three months. Compared to the average un- employed person, the report said the welfare recipient involved ''is more apt to be male; in the prime working age group; unemployed for a longer period; and hindered in his job search by lack of formal educa- tion, and by physical and emo- tional handicaps.\ Most of the jobs taken were in services (24 per cent) pack- age handling (12 per cent) clerical and benchwork (11 per cent each). The reasons for the lay- offs were found to be \lack of work\ (39 per cent); \not qualified\ (% per cent), \absenteeism or illness\ (20 per cent), and \mis- conduct\ (4 per cent). In summary, of the 11,472 persons labelled as \employ- able\ by the local social service districts in the study, only 425 eventually found jobs lasting more than four days. While spothghtmg some pro- cedural problems in the welfare system, the report cautioned against making generalizations. '\'Extrapolation of certain sample findings in this phase to a statewide universe exceeds the accepted canons of statistical inference,\ it said. - expenditures of sales tax money on a new million, dollar jail as \an error in judgement\. He said the county is now saddled with an unwise capital debt of \con- siderable proportions\. He argued that the money could have been used to relieve the real estate tax burden. He said the tax rates in Orleans County are exceedingly higher than in neighboring counties. On the county health depart- ment, Cardone said there is no clear-cut health policy in areas affecting such businesses as restaurants. He suggested that a liaison between various interest groups in the county and the health department be established to set up some general guidelines applicable on a county-wide basis. Cardone said the board could take steps to make its position known in regard to the Orleans Legal Aid Bureau to the highest level including the Executive Branch of the federal govern- ment. \Orleans Legal Aid is out to change our government's policy, to strike at our institutions, at our school system, 'and our 34 property rights,\ Cardone said. The board was expected to go back into session this afternoon Blasts Rip Petroleum Tanker MASSENA, N. Y. (UPD) - Two explosions ripped through a hold of an unloaded petroleum tanker in the St. Lawrence Sea- way early today, killing the captain and injuring four crew- men. The first blast ripped through the No. 1 hold of the 344 - foot tanker Venus. The second tore a 50-foot hole in her port side. Heavy fog shrouded the wa- terway at the time.: The dead captain was identi- fied as Charles Stanley, 53, of Cleveland. The No. 1 hold was directly beneath his cabin. Edwin S. Marek, 38, of Stur- geon Bay, Wis., third officer of the Venus, was seriously burn- ed about the face and hands. The Venus was on the Canad- ian side of the Wilson Hill an- chorage, six miles west of here, when the explosions occurred at 2 a.m. It took tugs four hours to make their way through the dense fog to bring the injured to Eisenhower Lock, where they were removed. by ambulance to Massena General Hospital. - Rescue KELLOGG, Idaho (UPI) -A rescue team early today abandoned its efforts to get to an access shaft in the lower tunnels of. the smokefilled - Sunshine Silver Mine where 58 men remain trapped by a mysterious fire that took 24 lives. But as the graveyard shift began the gruelling three-hour trip back to the top, the day shift prepared to try to get through to Sunshine's No. 10 shaft from the tunnels of nearby Silver Summit Mine. Fresh air was pumped steadily into the shaft's hoist room, 1700 feet above the area where mine officials insist there is a \good chance\ some of the missing men may be alive. Albion Board US B PRICE 10 CENT S reaks Off Peace Talks 'Every Channel' Is Lacking Progress By ALINE MOSBY PARIS (UPI)-The United States broke off the Paris peace talks today for the second time on the ground that there had been no progress. U.S. negotiator William J. Porter told newsmen he did so because there was a \lack of progress in every available channel\\ of negotiation. He told reporters outside the conference hall he had refused to agree to attend a session next Thursday because both North Vietnam and the Viet Cong refused to discuss a halt to the North Vietnamese invasion of South Vietnam. Instead, both Communist teams scoffed at use of the word '\invasion and said the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) was not an international boundary and therefore there could have been no invasion. Porter told the Communist groups last week that he would give them one week to reply to U.S. demands for a halt in their offensive. The United States broke off the talks last March 23 because there were no serious negotia- tions and the Communists were using the talks only as a propaganda forum.. Porter returned to the conference table last week with a demand the North Vietnam and Viet Cong comply with his demands they discuss ways of halting the current Communist offensive. Walking from the conference hall today wearing a serious expression Porter said the South Vietnamese negotiator, Pham Dan Lam, \speaking for our side, told them we did not agree to set a date for the next meeting.” \Now don't get the idea that this is the result purely of this meeting held here today,\ Porter said. \It represents also a complete lack of progress in every available channel:\ , Veteran observers of the deadlocked conference took Porter's reference to \every available channel\ to include any secret talks between Hanoi and Washington. Moscow reports said the talks were resumed last Thursday after a five-week hiatus at insistence of Soviet Communist party leader Leonid I. Brezhnev during talks with Presidential Area Schools Entered In Wave of Spring has brought a new series of school break-ins, which have been reported to the Orleans Sheriff's Dept. and missing items so far include tools, typewriters, recorders and cash. Reports were received today from Lyndonville and Kendall and on Tuesday from BOCES Vocational School in Medina. A janitor at Lyndonville's Webber High School discovered .the break-in there when he arrived just before 6 a.m. and he notified the Sheriff's Dept. Many rooms were entered and numerous doors had glass broken to permit unlocking. Entry to the building was through a window on the south side. Desires To Limit Water Lines ALBION-Moving on requests by five Route 31 businessmen, the Albion Town Board last night expressed a desire to limit a proposed water district in the township to an area running from the terminus of the village water line to the Gaines Basin Road. Last month, merchants from the area appeared at a board meeting to urge the development of a water district to serve their needs. At that time, -the possibility ofestablishing a town- wide water district was raised. Meeting for the first time in their new quarters on West Bank Street in the Coffey Brothers building, the board questioned the wisdom of tying establish- ment of a restricted district to a more encompassing district in light of past sympathies in the town. Six years ago, the town tried to set-up a district with Barre Center but the referendum went down to defeat. Another try, this time limited to Albion, also was defeated by voters. Albion attorney Curtis Lyman, acting in an advisory capacity to the board, told them he believed the tide had turned in the town and people might be willing to go for a town-wide water district. ''From what I've seen and been able to gather,\ Lyman said, \I think that if you went out W1th petitions, you could get a town-wide water district.\ Albion Supervisor Maynard Reed, however, said he is afraid the town would reject it. He said this would be especially true in the heavily agricultural areas. Town Justice Lee Parker, supported by other members of the board, said 'his personal preference was for a district limited to the area where the requests came from. Lyman advised the board a planwlll haveto 'be prepared and submitted to the board for consideration. A second petition will then have to be presented to the board asking it to create the district. Once a public hearing is held,. Lyman said, and the validity of the petitions checked the district could be created by an order from te town board. Lyman said no referendum would be necessary in this situation because the only requirement facing the board is that 50 p.c. of the rmldent property owners in the pro district with 50 p.c. of the total assessed valuation file the petition. The board will meet next week with a Rochester consultant firm, Kohl & Kohl Assoc., to explore the details of a study for the water district. The board also got a progress report on a proposed mobile home trailer park which the owner of about 14 acres of land between Phipps Road and Route 31 wants to construct. The tentative plans call for a 32 trailer court on a 450x900 foot area owned by Ralph Buck, of RD 2, Albion. Buck said last night he needs a . signed approval for the trailer park from the board. He then will be able to present detailed plans. In other action, the board agreed to hold its June primary elections in the old polling booths scattered throughout the town rather than in the new voting location at the County Highway garage. The board said they would hold the November general elections at the new consolidated site. A contract for town highway employees on working conditions was tabled for further study. The board has already approved 'a pay hike for town highway department employees. The new wage is $3.15 per hour. Looting Deputies said power tools are missing from the shop and a tape recorder from the office. Some desks were \rifled\ in search of money. - Kendall Elem. School had the same type of entry, through a door after glass was broken. The safe combination wheel was broken but the safe was not opened. A typewriter was taken from the office and some small change from a soft drink machine. The entry was discovered about 7 a.m. Tuesday morning it was discovered that the BOCES School in Medina was entered through a rear door, apparently forced. A cabinet was broken open in the principal's office and about $500 appears to be missing. adviser Henry A. Kissinger who made a secret trip to Moscow. Kissinger had held 13 secret talks last year with Le Duc ~Tho, a high-ranking member of the Hanoi Politburo, but they got nowhere. XX SAIGON (UPI) . Communist forces threatened Hue from three directions today while South Vietnamese author- ities set up control points to try to stop retreating government troops and regroup them to defend the city. North Vietnamese soldiers were reported within 18 miles of Hue on the northwest, within 15 miles on the west and within 10 miles on the southwest, where artillery bases Bastogne and Checkmate were overrun Saturday. Refugees and soldiers conti- nued to stream out of Hue, the old imperial capital 400 miles north of Saigon. Kleindienst Barred From Post ALBION - Orleans District Attorney Hamilton Doherty said this morning he has relieved Carl J. Kleindienst of his duties as -a confidential investigator with the DA's office, a post he was appointed to last Friday. The district attorney appeared at the County Board of Supervi- sors meeting this morning and said that he had been informed by the county's economic coor- dinator, Raymond Pahura, that Mr. Klemdlenst was not ehglble for the job because of his age. Doherty explained to the board he had originally appointed Kleindienst in order to secure the position for Orleans County. He said he had, fully expected to appoint someone else later this year. Doherty said he would be look- ing for a man to fill the position immediately. He said he hopes the job will be filled by June 1 at the latest. The position carries a $9,000 salary and requires 10 years of experience with. an accredited law enforcement agency. Parochial Aid in Approved ALBANY,N -¥. UPD) -A proposed new $33 million parochial aid plan needed only. Assembly approval today be- fore passmg into law to replace last year's plan, which was in- validated by a federal court. 'The proposal, drawn up by Senate Major Leader Earl W. Brydges with Governor Rocke- feller's apparent consent, provides a three-pronged method of aiding non-public schools and the parents of public pupils. The \scattergun' approach may let some parts of the law survive a new court challenge. One has already been promised by the committee for Public Education And Religious Liberty (PEARL), which has success- fully attacked previous 'parochi- aid' plans. One new aspect of the plan gives public schools aid for absorbing former parochial stu- dents, and for buying abandoned parochial schools. The bill easily cleared the Have A Chuckle Form Senate, 48 - 9 Wednesday, with opposition from liberal Demo- crats questioning its constltu-\ tionality. Sen. John Caemmerer, R-East Williston, the floor sponsor, said \\ the bill was aimed at avertmg a f“precmltous decline\ in parochial school enrollment. He noted non-public enrollment has dropped from 819,000 in 1966 to 760,000 this year. \I haven't seen any movement by anybody who opposes this to come up with the $1 billion it would cost to educate these extra 750,000 kids,\ he said. Sen. Waldaba Stewart, D- Brooklyn, argued that the bill was a \hoax on the people\ because schools would continue closing even with it. But Stewart voted for the measure because of the '\impacted areas\ aid to public schools. The program fills the gap left when federal courts invalidated the $33 million \secular educa- tional services'' plan enacted last year. & ® bd WUPPERTAL, Germany (UP!) - A man won a $3.10 bet with friends Wednesday by successfully scaling a local church tower. - Unfortunately, he could not get down from the 110- foot high spire and firemen had to be called to rescue him. A police spokesman said that cost the man $68 in charges from the fire department. SKELDERGATE, England (UPI) - Bill Long, 65, ap- . plied for his old age pension by the government told him he was really 64. \It seems that ever since I was a lad I have been a year younger than I thought I was,\ Long and Wed- nesday.
