Oh, No, Not The Bridge Is it true that the French 'Government, intends to pull down the Pont des Arts in Paris-the irom footbridge linking the Institut de France he Seine's Left Bank with the courtyard of the Louvre on : the Right Bank? -__ We hope not. We couldn't visualize the Seine without it. One of the delights of Paris is to linger on the Pont des Arts and savor the city's beauty, away from the crowded, traffic-laden streets. It is the oldest iron bridge in France and has been much loved by artists over the years, par- ticularly the Impressionists. Apparently the government wants to scrap the bridge to make way for a planned new expressway adliong the Left Bank quais. There is talk of replacing it by another footbridge, but would things ever be the same? We were muted in our . reaction to the decision last year - to pull down the 1i9th- century iron and glass pavilions that used to house - Les Halles. We felt there was some. justification for the government's argument that the pavilions should go under an overall project for im- proving. a shabby dustnct of Paris. But. if it IS intended to sacrifice one of the city's historic bridges just to make it easier for motorists to speed along the Seine banks, then we must cry: '\Arrdtez!

Shortly before World War IL. he shifted the firm's production from merry -go- round organs and coin-operated pianos to that of the \Mighty Wurlitzer,\ that was used in major theaters around the country. When the demand for the pipe organs dropped, he built the firm into the nation's major jukebox manufacturer. The memorial service was ~ scheduled for 11 a.m. at St. Mark's Episcopal Church.

(UPT)-An 18-month project aimed at de- termining the effect of exces- sive phosphates on the prema- ture aging of lakes and streams was kicked off officially here to- day. The U. S. Environmental Pro- tection Agency (EPA) chose Onondaga Lake on the outskirts of this Central New York State city as its pilot in what is to be a survey of ~%,200 bodies of water that will be checked in the next 1% yedrs. The aerial survey will provide information to determine if a lake can be improved by reduc- ing municipal phosphates before a decision is reached to invest large sums of money in municipal treatment plants to remove phosphates. The program could save the. cost of phosphate removal facili- ties at some treatment plants, where the amount removed might be insignificant because of phosphorus from natural run- off, and from other sources such as animal wastes ~ and over - fertilization of crops, an EPA statement said. . Two Huey helicopters and two fixed-wing aircraft used in the project will be equipped with remote and contact sensors. Airborne gcientists will use a device called a differential radiometer to detect chlorophyll levels in the water and a thermal radiometer to measure surface temperatures. A pontoon-equipment aircraft will land on the lake and probes will be lowered into the water to measure dissolved oxygen, conductivity, the acid -alkaline balance of the water, tempera- ture and turbidity. | Samples of water from various depths will be collected, examined for algae and con- centration -of chlorophyll, 'and then sent to EPA's research lab in Las Vegas for phosphate and nitrate analysis. The EPA, working with the U. S. Geological Survey, will study aerial maps to determine land uses of areas surrounding the lake: They will calculate the amount of phosphates coming from other sources, such as farmer's corn fields, to deter- mine -what phosphate control strategy to use on a particular lake. The federal survey, which will - cost $3 million overall, will complement a five - year pro- gram now under way by New York State which will study 60 lakes. The EPA study will sample each lake four times during the growing season. Thirty - eight lakes in New York will be sampled this year. A total of 400 lakes in New England, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and New York will be inspected during 1972, and 800 more next year. Driver 'Critical' Accident reports were still in- complete this morning on two Niagara County men who re- main in Medina Memorial Hos- pital, one listed as critical and the other fair, following a one car accident Friday night in the 1100 block on South Main Street here in Medina!

Center Street Ex- tension is believed by Sheriff's Dept. investigators and by the restaurant owner, Walter Hilger, to haveELen the work of \highly professional\ and \very cool\ thieves. Despite the fact that there were two all-night employees, including a baker, working at the restaurant next door, thieves broke into the front door of the office annex, immediately to the west of the inn. They moved a small safe into a back office, laid it on pillows to muffle the noise, and proceeded to systematically open it. While the exact loss is not known, something less than $1,000 is believed gone. While other valuable items were in the office, only the money was gone and only the safe was attacked, according to Chief Sheriff's Deputy Howard Lake. First, he said, rivets were “popped off\ the safe door with a special instrument, then in- sulation was broken and the tumblers were tripped. 'The break-in sometime between 1:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. and was discovered by Mr. Hilger when he arrived at the office this morning. A full investigation is under way. ' Alblon Burglaries Large Quantity of ALBION - A massive haul of loot was taken by burglars from the Western Auto Store, East Bank St., and the break-in was discovered between 8 and 9 a.m. this morning at the time of opening. At least 29 guns ranging - from shotguns to handgunswere among items stolen, according to Albion Police Dept. Chief Francis McCabe said this morning that Richard Overholt, operatorofthe store, is making a total inventory, but a lengthy list . of missing items is already in police hands, along with serial numbers of some merchandise.. Entry was made, police said, by the breaking of a window on the east side, leading into the office. Exit was made by breaking a lock on a rear overhead door. On the list of missingitemsare atleast 2 guns of all descrip- tions, a large quantity of various cartridges, two bow and arrow sets, three sewing machines, one stereo set, two television sets, and gun cleaning kits..

Investigations are contmumg and descriptions of the stolen items in each case have been teletyped to other police agen- cies. occurred; Government Considers Subsidy Plan WASHINGTON (UPD)-The government is considering a plan that would pay subsidies to black school teachers in the South so they can be re- educated, relocated or given a chance to fight in court when they lose their jobs because of desegregation. Many teachers and ' school principals in southern and border states -some estimates range as high -as 20,000 -have been fired or assrgned out of their fields in recenf years when formerly all-black schools were combined with white schools. ' \'Should the present rate of displacement continue, it is conceivable that black educa- tors could become extinct in Southern and Border State school systems,\ said one confidential memorandum on the subject. The government currently has a program which was aimed at retraining 1,500 black teachers and administrators; but William C. Young, deputy commissioner in the Office of Education, said it has reached only 176 persons so far and its financial life is due to expire June 30. Young said the administration plans a $6. million budget, “compared with present spend- ing of $4.9 million, that would give a dismissed black educator three choices, all at govern- ment expense: return to college, fight in court to regain his job or move elsewhere. Court Upholds Village In Jim-Cor Action | Jim Cor Camp, the cement block apartment complex on Olney St. which has been much in the headlines in the past year, was the object of three new developments today. First, Supreme Court Justice Gaughan today issued a memorandum - upholding the petition of the Village of Medina to evict 22 residents of Jim-Cor on the basis that for heaith and other reasons the property does not meet the standards of the Minimum Housing Standards Ordinance of Medina. Second, it was reported that the New York State Electric and Gas Corp. discontinued gas service to the dwellings within the past week because of failure to pay back service bills. Third, it was also reported that the Niagrar~MohaWk Power Corp. has given residents, represented by the so-called Birdseye Coalition, until Wed- nesday of this week to pay overdue electric bills or face discontinuance of service. - ._In the eourt platter Justice that the Village of Medina petition for enjoining occupancy of the Jim-Cor residents alleges \deplorable unsanitary con- ditions which create an extreme health hazard and render the . dwelling units unfit for: human a habitation.\ 'This was essentially the same . wording asusedin the findings of the Orleans County Health Dept. following an inspection. .On April 5 the residents were served with \show-cause\ or- ders and Justice Gaughan points out that the action should have been in the form of summonses. However, the judge states that this does not invalidate the action and the motion of the residents of Jim-Cor to dismiss it is “demed in all respects\. =. The memo does not brmg a degree of finality to the situation, however, since the Jim-Cor residents, through their coalition and legal counsel, are given 10 days to file answers to Justice Gaughan's memorandum. Village - Attorney. Norris Webster said this morning that after the 10 days have elapsed \then there will be an issue joined and it will be in the form that a judge and a jury could try 973 He pointed out, however, that the next term of Supreme Court in Orleans County is not until May 30, under Justice Stiller, and it is not known now whether the action of the Village of Medina would be placed on the court. calendar at an early date or be delayed.

There: was no - immediate word on what new courses the President was considering to back his public promise of taking 'all necessary mea- sures\ against the continuing communist offensive. But there was speculation the possibilities included: -A South Vietnamese counter- invasion into the North, backed by American airpower, attempt to relieve some of the pressure on the South -An allied seaborne invasion south of the Demilitarized Zone for the same purpose. -A quarantine on.
