o, “5 T ap 10 p # The Lilies Of May May is a lily month, among other things, particularly the month of the lesser lilies of the fields. In the flower garden the domesticated lilies of the valley come to honey-sweet blossom, of course. But in the _- damp woods there are whole beds of lilies hurrying to bloom before the deep shade of full leating overhead closes in. . First are the trout lilies, also called dog-tooth violets- though they are no kinat all to true violets. Small and usually yellow, they bloom profusely and early. Soon after them, and on somewhat drier soil, come the Canada Mayflowers. Small and white and subtly fragrant, they are cousins of the tame lilies of the: valley. And on their heels come the wake-robins, those purplish red triliums that look so at- tractive and smell so rank. Those who love Canady Mayflowers hurry past the wake-robins. Before the triliums fade- and there are other, sweeter- smelling triliums that bloom in May - the Solomon's seal is in bloom. The common variety grows only three feet tail and blooms early; the great Solomon's seal grows as much as eight feet tall and looms late in May and into June. Both have tall, slender stalks with alternating pale green; spear-shaped leaves, and both bear twin white blossoms pendant from the base of the upper leaves. They come to blossom, the early lilies, while the whole army of other flowers is creating May's floral flood. After them will come the bigger, more colorful cousins, the wood lilies and the meadow lilies. But first the lesser ones, May's own lilies. -NEW YORK TIMES Board Candidate Ronald Montgomery MIDDLEPORT - Ronald E.

There were no injuries. The explosion blew about 40 feet of the wall into adjoining corri- dors, bursting water pipes and exposing electrical wires inside the large washroom. The FBI immediately sealed off the area. In a terse statement, the Pentagon duty officer said: \An explosion of unknown origin damaged a women's restroom and an adjoining area in the Pentagon at approxi- mately 1 a.m. this morning. The explosion may have been caused by a bomb. There were no injuries. The explosion took place in the vicinity of Room 4EI0W in the Pentagon. An investigation is under way. We have no further details at this time.\ A few moments later, a Pentagon investigative source said the explosion on the fourth floor had been caused by \a bomb.\ Newspaper Receives Call About the very moment the explosion ripped through the room on the inside of the Pentagon's outermost corridor, a call was received by the New York Post from a man who claimed that the Weatherman organization had \bombed the office of the secretary of the Air Force in the Pentagon ... in honor of Ho Chi Minh's birthday.\ Ho Chi Minh was the late president of North Vietnam. __. The washroom was just around the corner. from one of the Air Force's planning offices for Southeast Asia operations, and about 1,300 feet from the office of Air Force Secretary Robert C. Seamans Jr. Medinan Charges Bias ty Human Relations Commission is investigating a complaint . brought by a Medina man in connection with the termination of his employment as a con- struction supervisor with a low- income housing project in the county. Carolyn Baker, a full-time salaried employee of the four- month-old organization, told the Journal-Register her office is in the process of investigating a discrimination complaint initia- ted by Martin Mazzo. Mazzo was fired from his job - with People's Opportunity,. Inc. over a month ago. He had been . hired last November by the or- ganization at $11,000 a year. Mrs. Baker declined further comment on the complaint be- 'cause, she said it is a strictly confidential matter. She said, however, that the decision of the commission on the justifi- cation for the complaint would be made public once it is reach- ed. Mrs. Bakersaid the complaint would be brought to the com- mission's board as soon as her office's investigation is com- pleted. She said Mazzo, who has been replaced by an Elba man hired earlier this month by. People's Opportunity, could appeal the commission's decision to the State Division of Human Rights if he is not satisfied with the ruling. No official reason for Mazzo's firing has been given by the Albion-based agency, which is a delegate organization of the Community Action Committee. The agency has been involved with several Self-Help housing projects in the county including five on Horan Road in Medina. The projects are financed through the Farmers Home Ad- ministration. Deaths SCHROEDER, MRS. ROSE P. - & Ad on foot , ON THE ROAD to safety, V ietnamese refugees flee south in jammed vehicles and Shotgun Could Be The Decisive Highlands Push ALBION - A 33-year-old man is being held in lieu of $2,000 bail following his arrest in connection with the shotgun wounding of another man this morning at 102 East Avenue here in Albion. . Charged with first degree assault is James Junior Allen who Village Police say volun- tarily surrendered himself to them in an apartment house. Village Police said the wounded man, 32-year-old James Long, was transferred this morning to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester after undergoing surgery at Arnold Gregory Memorial Hospital in Albion. Officer Ronald Gilbert said the wounded man sustained a shattered right leg and was lying in the driveway of the East Avenue address when he and Albion Police Chief Francis McCabe arrived on the scene. . Gilbert said another man, Glen Anderson of-Oak Orchard Road, Carlton, was bending over the wounded man when they arrived. The officer said Anderson had applied a belt tourniquet to the wounded man's leg to stop the bleeding which they charac- terized as \profuse.\ Village Police said the suspect also surrendered a 16 gauge shotgun to them when they ap- proached him in the apartment house. - Authorities did not yet have information on the addressek of either Long or Allen at press time today. Village Police said the wounding dpparently stemmed from a domestic quarrel. The suspect, arraigned in Albion Village Court this morning, is scheduled to appear at a preliminary hearing May 25 at 2 p.m. SAIGON (UPD-Five waves of North Vietnamese backed by tanks attacked Kontum City today in what a military source in Saigon said could be the \decisive stage\ of the battle for the Central Highlands. They were driven from the defense perimeter in hand-to-hand fight- ing. . B52s carried 'out record bombing attacks against the Communist troops, dropping 1,800 tons of bombs today in 20 separate attack waves by 60 planes. They had hit the area earlier with 2,500 tons of bombs. . Today is the 82nd anniversary of the birth of the late North Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh and both American and South Vietnamese military comman- bers had expected some major Communist effort to mark the event. They thought Hue might be the target, but it was Kontum, 280 miles north of Saigon. The fighting was so intense and at such close quarter that at one point the defenders lowered their artillery pieces and were firing explosive shells into the North Vietnamese at point blank range. Fisher-Price Workload Grows; F&H Moving: Employment continues to climb at Fisher-Price Toy Co. here and the general plant manager, Frank Urbaneic, confirmed today that the 750 employment level has been exceeded and summer student help numbering over 60 is due in soon. 'The plant will be adding other permanent help gradually after the 800 mark is passed, and Manager Urbancic said the plastic molding department is due to receive the balance of its massive machinery within the next several weeks. Because .of skyrocketing production, the demand for storage space is becoming more and more a concern of the plant and as a result F-P is filling more and more of the clustered buildings which make up the former Heinz complex. The total square footage of the entire complex is about a half million square feet, but Ontario Containers Inc. takes part of one building and - Heinz Co. still maintains a can production line in the same building. Expansion of Fisher-Price storage needs will, however, terminate the lease of F & H Metal Finishing, a specialty metal painting and surface treating company operated in one of the rear buildings by Clifford Fearby and Hervey Hill. They have confirmed that they now own land on Genesee St. where the Heinz Co. coal stockyard once was located. On this land they will erect a metal building as their new \home\. A late summer completion date is tentatively scheduled. Court Suspends Sentences Of Anti-War Group BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPD young anti-war activists known as \The Buffalo\ were sentenc- ed today to suspended one year prison terms on their conviction of two of three counts stemming from a raid on a federal office building here last August. ~- In issuing the suspended sen- tences, U. S. District Court Judge John T. Curtin said, \'Your love of country is above that of most other citizens. If others had the same sense of morality, the war would have been over a long time ago.\ Curtin placed the five defendants on probation for one year but said they could attend rallies, make speeches and visit with their friends during that period. - The five are. Charles Lee Darst, 22, his wife Maureen, 21, Jeremiah Horrigan, 22, and Ann Marie Masters, 26, all of Buf- falo, and James Martin of West- . phalia, Mich. | The five were found guilty by a seven-woman, five-man jury April 27 on charges of conspir- acy and intent to commit third degree burglary. They were ac- quitted of an additional charge of removing military - intelli- gence records. Maximum penalty on the charges carried 12 years in pris- on and $12,000 in fines. The five were arrested by FBI agents on Aug. 21 inside the old Post Office building in downtown Buffalo. During the two - week long. trial the five argued that they did not commit a crime and that the real crime being com- mitted was the war in Vietnam Summit Meeting Likely To Produce Agreement WASHINGTON (UPI)-Pres- ident Nixon's summit meeting with Soviet leaders next week is likely to produce - an agreement under which the Russians will buy $200 million worth of U.S. grain each year for perhaps the next decade. Last year America sold the Soviet Union $135 million worth of its corn, barley and oats- feed grains Moscow wanted to meet growing consumér de- mands for more meat. . U.S.-Russian trade talks which concluded in Washington Thursday laid the groundwork for that aspect of the summit and left the impression that the firmest trade announcement to emerge from next week's meetings would most likely be that the Russians have decided to buy a 'little more grain this year. That announcement, however, is expected to be coupled with a statement of agreement under which the two sides will work toward a long-term pact of five to 10 years calling for the sale of about $200 million in U.S. feed grains each year. Total U.S. exports to Russia last year amounted to about $375 million-a relatively small part of the overall American trade picture. Before trade could increase, Russia would 'Fly-Over' For Senate Candidate By Carey English LOCKPORT - Streams of cold, forced air circulated in the cabin of the twin-engine Piper Aztec as Curtis Lyman leaned over the back of his seat. \Take a look at that,\ he said. The 46-year-old candidate for the New York. State Senate in the 60th District adjusted his glasses and peered through the side window. ' \What can you see?\ he asked. A gray mass was slowly closing in from the right cutting off visibility. \Nothing he said answering his own question, as the pilot banked the plane to the left. . Cruising along at 190 MPH, the area 2500 feet below. was disappearing from sight. Joseph Davis State Park with its huge swimming pool trailed off to the west. Haze moved off Lake Ontario near Ft. Niagara. An hour and a half later, the plane, carrying Lyman, pilot James Knight, who works for Barden Homes of Middleport, Elroy \Red\ Powley, the can- didate's campaign manager in Lockport and two newspaper reporters would set down and Lyman would explain why he had just taken the time to cruise high over Western New York. \I had never seen the district from one end to the other,\ Lyman said. \I think we've got it all here -- from agriculture to industry. Whoever gets it has a very great responsibility to. do. what is good for the district amd the State of New York.\ The afternoon sun 'continued to bake 1 \ the Lockport airport. Over Grand Island and North Tonawanda, two small portions of. Erie County lying within the 60th, Lyman dirécted the pilot to circle the area twice. \There's your problem,\ he said looking down at an immense expanse of factories. \How to reconcile those smoke stacks 'down there with people's jobs and livelihoods. \People want to live near to where they work,\ he said. ''The problem is keeping where they, want to live livable.\ Just above the Tonawanda Creek, the boundary line bet- ween Niagara and Erie counties, Lyman pointed to a speckled area of farmland where old junked autos had been piled. \'That's one of my pet peeves,\ he said. \The farmer who pulls three or four cars off the road and parks them on pastureland. I think it's one of the terrible disasters happening constantly to our countryside. . \I read the other day where 'one town authorized the pur- chase.of a crusher for old cars,\ Lyman said. The constant 'hum of the engines groaned on. \Maybe every town should have something like that.\ . 'We're at the eastern ex- tremity of the district,\ the candidate said as the plane neared\ the Orleans-Monroe county line. The plane veered south, then headed west again circling over Albion, the can- didate's home.: _ 20 By 3:30 yesterday afternoon, the plane * : was passing over . - ° Middleport. 'The: pilot - turned . south, then north and west again -- as the plane's shadow crossed Main Street. Five minutes later, the plane slowed and coasted in for a landing in Lockport. Lyman got out and stretched his legs. \I was impressed by the overall beauty of the area,\ Lyman said. \I love the sym- metry of plowed fields.\ The two reporters, ties at half mast, continued to write furiously as Lyman spoke. \Any preference on the location of a nuclear power plant in the district?\ Mark Francis of the Niagara Falls Gazette asked. \I think there's more op- position to it in Wilson,\ Lyman . though.\ said. \I think everyone is asking 'Why?' They'll ask it until the first brownout. I do believe we have the technology now to safely handle nuclear power, \I recognize I'm not well known;\ Lyman said in response to a question from another reporter, \but I'm better known now than I was two weeks ago.\ In the background, the plane was lifting up into the air. The candidate's tie blew over his shoulder in the downdraft and the reporters packed away their cameras and notebooks. Curt Lyman's campaign was off the ground. A Feu \ a .

At Camp David, Md., Thurs- day, he met secretly for about one hour with Soviet Ambassa- dor Anatoly F. Dobrynin .to - make final arrangements for the visit. Dobrynin later left for Moscow to complete groundwork at the other end. _ Drivers Collide - 'Two Middleport drivers col-. lided last night on Route 31, one quarter mile west of the Shelby Basin Road but Orleans County | Sheriff's deputies said neither reported any injuries. Involved in the accident were. Leo J. Shepard, 57, of 5-Mech- - anic St. and Marion L. Lep- koske, 32, of $464 Rochester Rd. Authorities said both had been traveling west on Route 31 when the. Lepkoske auto attempted to pass the other vehicle. # Workman Is Given Oxygen A workman installing a sprin- kler system in the new S. A. Cook -& Co. warehouse building on East Ave. was over- come by carbon monoxide fumes this morning, and the municipal ambulance was called at 11:20 a.m. . _It was reported that Charles Hofmeister of Elma, N.Y., was regaining consciousness as the emergency vehicle arrived, but he was given oxygen in the am- bulance and for a time at Me- dina Memorial Hospital. He was reported in good condition. The fumes reportedly came from trucks working inside an en-, closed area.
