The group known as Medina Area Business Inc., now at the level of about| 60 members, met at Medina High School to set goals,|adopt y-laws and choose officens John P. ennedy, a local clothier for} a half-century, former Medina mayor and head of the downtown parking com- mittee' which was the parent of the new organization, is the president of Medina Area Business, Inc. Glenn Sparks, local Marine Midland-Western bank manager, was élected las vice president. Donald Goodwin, pharmacy operator, wa chosen secretary Norman Wolk, also a men's clothier, was elected treasurer. _The! four officers, along with five other men comprise the board of directors. The entire board is as follows: Mr. Ken- nedy, Mr. Sparks and Vincent Carddne directors for. three years; Mr. and I bert aters, directors for motion. It is set up on a $10 per month program - of dues payments to finance studies, promotions, improvements and other activities in the central Medina area. One prime purpose, stated last night, will be to \work closely with the officials of the village to see that renewal programs are effectively carried out and in the best interests of all taxpayers.\ Mr. Kennedy, as head of the new group, said he anticipated a membership of around.75 by the end of the month. Most are business people, but he said \any person interested in the upgrading of our, central area is welcome to join.\ While last night's meeting was mamly an - organizational session, some time was devoted at the outset to the discussion of - urban renewal. Medina's public housing program, for which the federal government is expected to supply an estimated $2 million through the HUD agency, has already gone into the stage where developers are preparing bids. Public housing units are an- ticipated for low income residents and for the elderly. Separate from the public housing program, but also coming through HUD, is Medina's urban renewal program Whlch has been in Clbse Vote Seen on . Two Major ilssues» ALBANY, [N.Y.

In. the Assembly, both sponsors and opponents of re- pealing the [liberalized abortion law agreed the vote would ,be decided by less than a handful of the 150 lawmakers., And, in theSenate, Bernard Gordon, R- Peekskill, made one last bid to . pick, up the;3-4 votes needed to pass the much-amended no-fault bill sought by Governor Rocke- | feller. Both bills were certain to tngger lengthy debates before going to a olleall late today.

Officials of the HUD district office in Buffalo: have given assurance to Village of Medina officials of the availability of $750,000 in federal money for a 1972 “nelghborhood development program\. Mayor John Cobb told the business group last night that the 1972 phase would call for acquiring and removing sub- standard housing along the north side of Starr St., along the west side of Church St. in the first block, a small church building, an old coal elevator structure, the land on which the Rignel mill stood, and possibly a section of Mahar St. Much of the \leveled\ areas mentioned would be development or for open-space parks. Mayor Cobb said emphasis was being put on studies to determine ''in kind\ credits which Medina could apply toward its $130,000 share of the total NDP renewal program. He said Main St. paving, con- struction of the new police facility and other work might be applied in lieu of cash as part of Medina's contribution. Mr. Cardone, who has numerous réal estate in- volvements downtown, told the meeting, \I am for improving downtown Medina, but it is. disturbing to me that HUD is playing such a dominant role in what is going to happen and that our renewal program is tied - directly into using the taxpayers money for public housing. I am opposed to this.\\ He asked for a breakdown of cost figures on the urban renewal - program especially for property acquisition. > Other discussion was given to deteriorated curbing in the downtown area and Mayor Cobb said the cost estimate for total replacement has been put at . $100,000, or $22 per running foot. Mr. Brundage pointed out that a $2,000 study made by a Syracuse consulting firm two years ago placed new sidewalks and curbing as top priorities in upgrading and facelifting of the downtown area. He asked what had been done with copies of this study. © James DiGiulio outlined to the 50 people attending last night's meeting a program of promotions for the central business area. eTeleTs u Cob m > John -P.

The first Soviet reaction. came from the Tass news agency. It carried an angry tone but contained no imme- diate threat of military or diplomatic retaliation. Nonetheless, the President's decision to mine the North Vietnamese ports and bomb Hanoi's rail links with China was viewed as posing the greatest threat of a major, power confrontation since the Cuban missile crisis 10 years ago. The first phase of the mining operation was carried out without loss 'of any planes, said, and Defense Secretary Melvin -R. Laird wired congratulations to his admirals. . Nixon Relying on Mines The mines which will be activated Thursday at 6 a.m. EDT were sewn by U.S. Navy planes, with the port of Haiphong the major target. The ports of Hongai, Thanhhoa, and Campha also were to be mined. An estimated three-fourths of North Vietnam's imports enter through Haiphong and U.S. officials estimated 25 ships are there most of the time -many. of them\ Soviet vessels. In an American raid on Haiphong last month, the Russians charged, some Russian ships were damaged. Nixon did not use the term blockade to describe his actlon the ©19605, ' unmistakeable challenge to the to deny the Communist North \the weapons and supplies it needs to continue its aggres- sion.\ But U.S. officials did not quarrel with use of the term by reporters. One major difference between \Nixon's strategy and that used by President Kennedy in 1962 was that the latter directed U.S. naval ships to stop and search Soviet vessels as they approached Cuba. Nixon, at this point, . was relying on the mining operation to choke off supplies and arms to the Communists. ummit Visit Rlsked One of the major speculations that arose immediately after Nixon's Monday night television and radio speech to the nation was whether the blockade action might prompt the Soviets to call off 'his long-herailded summit visit to Moscow begin- ning 13 days from now. The Tass report from Wash- ington made no mention of it but the dispatch accused Nixon of \undisguised aggressive ac- tions which mean the deepening of the American interference in Vietnam and the violation of the norms of international law.\ The President also ordered bombing of rail lines between Hanoi and China. By taking a step that former President Lyndon B. Johnson rejected as too risky during the long escalation of the war in Nixon. issued an Soviet- Union and to -China, the chief suppliers of weapons to Hanoi. ©The President, in effect, offered the Soviet Union the chorce of welcommg him to N Vlet Ports Mmed Red Offensive Continues SAIGON (UPD)-U.S. Navy planes dropped powerful under- water mines around entrances to Haiphong and five other North Vietnamese ports today to try to cut off Communist war supplies and strangle a 41- day-old offensive in the South. The mines will not be activated until Thursday so foreignships will have a chance to leave the ports. In ground action, Communist troops overran the 'last South Vienamese base on the western edge of Kontum, took over one- third of a base to the north of the city and grabbed control of 90 per cent of the Phu My district in Binh Dinh province on the central coast. The attacks in the Central High- lands and central coast are part of a Communist plan to cut South Vietnam in half. No U.S. planes were lost in the mine-laying operation al- though a military spokesman said one Communist MIG fighter was shot down trying to stop the American planes. Nixon also ordered attacks on road,. and rail lines bringing supphos from China. The Navy lost its first admiral of the Vietnam War Monday in a helicopter crash in the Gulf of Tonkin. Killed was Rear Adm. Rembrandt C. Robinson, commander of cruis- er-destroyer Flotilla 11, a fleet: of 25 ships. The helicopter was Drivers Collide Two Holley youths were in- volved in a two-car collision yesterday afternoon on Route 237 at the intersection with Route 31A. Neither reported injuries. Orleans County Sheriff's Department deputies said a car driven by 16-year-old William F. Reynolds, 4703 Hall Road collided with a car traveling south on Rt. 237 driven by Thomas J.

''The initial phases of the mining operation have been successfully accomplished, the U.S. command said. The mines will be activated automatically at '6 p.m. (6 a.m. EDT) Thursday. = - The next step of the operation -presumably naval interdiction of supplies-will 'also begin Thursday, but not in interna- tional waters, according to military sources. Both Russian and Chinese ships frequently use North Vietnamese ' ports, especially the nation's largest at Hai- phong. , (A Pentagon announcement listed the mine-seeded ports as Haiphong, Cam Pha, Hon Gai, Thanh Hoa, Vinh and Dong Hoi.) |, Both Haiphong and Vinh were attacked earlier by American bombers and one Soviet ship was damaged in the raid on Haiphong on April 16. The U.S. command refused to say if railway lines from China to Hanoi were bombed but Nixon said in a speech Monday night overland supply routes: would also be cut. He did not elaborate. In other action, U.S. jets shot down three MiGs over North Vietnam. Two MiG19s were downed 70 miles northwest of Hanoi Monday, and a slower MiG17 was downed over the U.S. prisoner of war camp at Son Tay, 25 miles northwest of Hanoi. The MiGs were shot down while U.S. fighter bombers struck within 15 miles of Hanoi. In ground action, Communist troops backed by tanks overran a key base'guarding the Central Highlands provincial capital of Kontum.

We are on the threshhold of a new relatlonshlp that can serve not only the interests of our two countrres but the cause of world peace. In his nationally broadcast speech, the somber-faced Nixon said the mining of ports had | already begun and in addition U.S. forces had been directed to \interdict the delivery supplies'\ and to cut off rail traffic into North Vietnam. ''These actions are not directed against any . other nation,\ Nixon said. \Countries with shlps presently in North Vietnamese ports have been notified .that their ships will | #lave three daylight periods to leave in safety. After that time, - the mines 'will become active and any ships attempting to leave or enter these ports will ° 'do so at their own risk.\ The White House smtchboardl ' was jammed with calls as soon . as Nixon left the air. Deputy Press Secretary Gerald L. Warren said the callers were overwhelming in their support for the President. Opposition Cited Sen,. George S. McGovern, D- S.D., termed Nixon's actlons a \flirtation with World War III\ while Sen. Hubert H. Hum- phrey, D-Minn., said it was a \serious escalation of the war.\ McGovern and Humphrey both cut off their presidential campaigning to fly to Washing- ton and oppose Nixon's latest. maneuvers. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy called it \a futile military gesture taken in desperation.\ The Pentagon said the mines, already being dropped into the harbor by U.S. aircraft, will _ become lethal at of: 4 igon sday. 6 p.m. time (6 am.

This was confirmed today to -the Journal-Register by the New York State Atomic and Space 'Development Authority in New York City. It was stated that a special meeting will be held to- night with various Orleans Coun- ty officials to give them advance brlefmg on what the agency is doing in the Town of Yates along Lake Ontario as far as site studies are concerned. , Later this month an open' public meeting will discuss some of the same information to ac- - quaint the general public with the lengthy studies needed to pick an atomic generating site. I was two years ago that the matter of a nuclear. \breeder\. reactor plant in' this area first came up. A delegation of mem- bers of the Atomic and Space Development Authority met with area officials at the Apple Grove Inn. ‘ At that time they indicated - that \a location somewhere be- tween Wilson in Niagara Coun- ty and western Monroe County\ along Lake Ontario would be studied for the potential of a reactor generating plant. Now, after passage of time, Have A Chuckle . . . 1t has been confirmed that three sites along Lake Ontario are , 'being studied in depth, One is in the Wilson area, one is in Cayuga County and the other is what is referred to as the \Morrison . site\ in Town of Yates, Orleans County. . These three sites are known as the Wilson site, the Morrison site .and the Sterling site. The purpose of \siting reports\ by the state agenty is to do all of the multi-faceted study work needed so that private enterprise can go ahead and construct nu- clear generating plants. The sites are seledoted near large bodies of water because of the capacities needed for reactors. Studies involve hydrology, meteorology, skismotechnology, aquatic environment, and almost a half dozen other phases. Atten- tion is given to the factors need- ed to preserve) the natural en- vironment of the location. It has been expected that once a state approved site is Chosén, a nuclear power plant would be constructed by either a single private power corporation or a group of power producers co- operatively. The plant could be, either a conventional power generator using a nuclear reactor, or could be a \breeder\ reactor type which reproduc es its own fuel.
