die IHE pit\ Why Not Shop For Auto Insurance? So you've decided that auto insurance is much too com- plex for shopping around? Well, it just might be that some insurance companies prefer it that way. Now, thanks to the New York State Insurance Department, shopping around is made easier. But it requures some initiative on the part of the vehicle owner. This help can come by writing the department, 123 William St., N.Y. 10038, for a free copy of a price report titled '\\Com- petition Among Auto in- syrers.“ What makes this pamphlet so useful is a price comparison section giving compulsory automobile liability insurance rates charged by 15 leading insurers and by the Assigned Risk Plan in 70 rating areas of the state. These areas include Rochester, Rochester suburbs, the balance of Monroe County and neigh- boring counties. As many may not realize, there is a wide spread in prices, as muchas 50 per cent. For example, in Rochester's. P re fer re d A d u I t Classification, the range is from $101 to $135 in annual premiums. The Assigned Risk premium is $154. The booklet reflects the higher permivms of large urban areas that seem to prevail over rural com- munities. f . We caution motorists on one point. These are comparisons . in price only and do not take into account policies and quality of service that should also enter into the choice of an insurer. ‘ Furthermore, the new in- surance rating law which inspired this report may have slowed down the rise in in- surance prices through competition. But none of this is an adequate substitute for a sound no-fault auto insurance law which the State Legislature has so far denied us. -ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT & CHRONICLE Loblaw Closing Rumored A week end rumor that Lob- law Inc. would be removing its one-year-old Medina store from Maple Ridge Plaza appeared to- day to have probable truth but company officials were silent on the matter. . It was reported that employ- ees of the market were given notice, but because of the Buf- falo headquarters decision to withhold any formal statement, few details could be learned. One spokesman indicated to Journal-Register by telephone that some change is contemplat- ed for the Medina supermarket, but he refused any additional comment. Since the Loblaw lease is thought to be for 10 years as in the case of other plaza tenants, it is most likely that the space will be sub-let to another retail- er. Rumors also cropped up in that direction, hinting that Bells IGA Market in Medina, operated by Ferri Supermarkets Inc., would take the Loblaw space. This could not be substanti- ated since Michael Ferri, presi- dent, was in Buffalo for the day and John Cromwell was 'away from Medina on a week's vacation. Bells now is located in a large facility on Orient St. The Loblaw store was opened about one year ago as one of a trio of stores which made up the first plaza tenants. W. T. Grant Co. is the largest and Rite-Aid Center occupies a center loca- tion along with a later arrival, the M&T Bank. When Loblaw opened its plaza store, its selected interior deco- rating scheme was one of the. most attractive in the entire WNY area, utilizing an Old Eng- lish decor throughout. This represented a return to Medina of Loblaw, which had originally been here since the 1930s, but then absent for sev- eral years in the late 1960s. Deaths LACEY, WALTER E.

On E Center St. Unruly Crowd Given Quick Police Control Are Smashed A disturbance on E. Center St. late Saturday night grew gradually over an hour's time to involve 100 to 150 party-goers from an upstairs hall and up- wards of 70 uniformed police officers. - Three arrests were made, but Medina Police Chief Homer Phillips emphasized today that it was a disturbance caused by abusive language and disorderly conduct by a small group on the sidewalk, and had no planned characteristics or \racial overtones\. Chief Phllhps said, \It is important that this be un- derstood because rumors spread and cause further trouble.\ The chief said the trouble first started with a group of 20 or 25 people on the sidewalk in front of the former Legion building owned by Cornelius Van den Bosch, who operates a bakery on the ground floor. At about 10:30 this group reportedly began hollering abusively at the Medina police patrol car. A complaint was also received from customers of the Maui Inn, a nearby tavern, who said language was obscene and customers were being harrassed. The upstairs hall, once the American Legion post rooms, had been sub-let for Saturday night for a dance held by a baseball team. The regular tenant of the upstairs portion is a lodge group from the black community, but the lodge had no sponsorship in the Saturday affair. The group on the sidewalk was reportedly asked to disperse and refused, continued Chief Phillips in his report, and the situation became unruly when others from upstairs joined those on the sidewalk. The committee runnmg the dance is said to have made ef- forts to get the party re- organized upstairs, but without success. Arrested first was James Brady, 20, of 520 Church St., charged with disorderly conduct. While police were directing attention at other things, Brady was released from the patrol car by a friend and when Patrolman Dwight Hill ran after him, Hill was allegedly hit in the head. Thus, a charge of assault was also placed against Brady. At that point, outside police help was called as a safety measure and men were sent from the Niagara County Sheriff's Dept., Orleans and Genesee Sheriff's Departments, State Police units in Orleans and Niagara Counties, the Orleans Auxy. Police, and State Police from Clarkson After the incident became dangerously unruly, Medina ploice entered the upstairs hall and declared the dance closed. They also arrested Elmon L. Brady, 27, of 520 Church St., charging him with disorderly conduct, and John Brady, 19, of 811 Genesee St., on the same charge. James Brady was arraigned today in Medina before Judge B.E. Hart and is in Orleans County Jail in lieu of $1,000 bail. He has asked for counsel and will appear again next Saturday. The two other men are free on $20 and $25 bail, also to re-appear next Saturday. There was no property damage reported in the Saturday night incident. Middleport Police Engage in Pursuit: A Medina driver, Steven Robinson, 10381 Ridge Rd., was arrested by Middleport Police early Sunday morning following a high speed chase which ended when his car failed to negotiate a curve on Route 31E, one-half mile east of the Shelby Basin Road in the Town of Shelby. According to deputies of the Orleans County Sheriff's Department, Robinson, traveling east on 31E, skxdded ap- proximately 150 feet before coming to a stop 35 feet south of the edge of the highway. A passenger in his car, Richard Weader, 23, of 16201 Lynch Rd., Holley, received minor injuries and was taken to a hospital for treatment. A Rochester resident, Willie Johnson, 41, of 45 Columbia Ave., was issued a summons for failure to yield the right of way after his car collided with another vehicle Sunday afternoon at the in- »tersection between Route 18 and aha?! West Kendall Road in Ken- Deputies said Johnson was traveling south on the West Kendall Road when his car hit another vehicle driven by Chester Staub, 56, of 529 Greenleaf Meadows, Rochester, who was driving east on Rt. 18. Neither reported injuries, authorities said. A Rochester man, Lube Mitreski, 25, of 82 Sheppard St., received a summons for an expired temporary certificate of registration after he attempted to pass another vehicle traveling west on Route 104 yesterday morning near the intersection with the Horan Road in Ridgeway. The driver of the other car, Archie J. Baker, 57, of 179 Erin Rd., Medina, was attempting to make a left hand turn off Rt. 104 onto the Horan Rd. when the accident occurred. - - Although Baker declined to be taken to a hospital, authorities said he reported injuries as a result of the accident to himself, Kathleen Baker, 39, of the Erin Rd. address, and a child, Tina Baker, 2, both passengers in his car. On Sunday at. 1:30 a.m., a Medina driver, Thomas A. Boyce, Jr., 18, of 4931 Bigford Rd., was taken to Medina Memorial with cuts on his face and head after his car, traveling east othe Harrison Road one quarter; mile east of Rt. 63 in Shelby, went out of control and down a512 foot embankment antagon Bill - WASHINGTON (UPI) Charging that military spending the last six years has been the \main cause of inflation,\ Sen.

Deputies said the windshields on a car, pickup truck 'and stake truck were damaged. Authorities indicated that the Lyndonville youth had appeared before Judge Blackburn last week on another charge. Mrs. Piper Tells of Kidnapping MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UPI) -\It seemed like a very bad nightmare...unreal,\ Mrs. Vir- ginia Piper said as she described her kidnaping for a $1 million ransom -highest paid in U.S. history. More than 100 FBI agents in addition to police searched today for two husky kidnapers -and possibly a third-who abducted the silver-haired socialite from her suburban estate Thursday and left her chained to a tree but unharmed in a wilderness near Duluth Saturday. Mrs. Piper, 49, wife of H. C. Piper Jr., board chairman of a Minneapolis investment firm, said her kidnapers wore dark nylon stocking masks and were husky and nearly 6 feet tall. She estimated they were about 35-40 years old. Mrs. Piper said only two men took her in handcuffs from her colonial home in Orono Thurs- day, but one of the kidnapers indicated a third man was involved and she got the impression he was a Minneapo- lis man. Richard Held, special agent in charge of the Minneapolis FBI office, was asked if he had any indication of the kidnapers' identity. \It's not positive,\ he said, \but we're not without hope.\ Piper personally dropped off the $1 million ransom m $20 lift 1t”-—Fr1day mght He said he followed fairly complicated \instructions from the kidnapers but couldn't remember exactly where it was he delivered the money. The ransom was the biggest in U.S. history. The previous record was $600,000 paid in 1953 to kidnapers of Robert €.

PRICE 10 CENTS recs IRA Strongholds By JOSEPH FLEMING BELFAST (UPT)-British ar- mored forces and troops, the largest force ever assembled in Northern Ireland smashed through \no-go\ area street barricades at dawn today and occupied all strongholds of the illegal Irish Republican Army (IRA) in the: province, the British army said. An army statement said the dawn takeover by soldiers manning bulldozers and tanks equipped with earthmoving blades was \completely suc- cessful.\ Two gunmen were shot to death and four others were hit in Londonderry, the army said. There was virtually no resis- tance elsewhere. - The 21,000 British troops, the largest British army force ever assembled in Northern Ireland, moved sflently against IRA \'no go\ areas in Londonderry and against their strongholds in Belfast, Portadown, Lurgan, Armagh, Colisland and Dungan- non. Northern Ireland Secretary William Whitelaw, British ruler of the province, said his troops were \now in occupation and control throughout Northern Ireland.\ An army statement said the operation that began at 4 a.m. \has been completed success- Two Top Dems Urge Eagleton WASHINGTON (UPT)-With top party officials apparently: on signal urging him to step down, Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton meets with Sen. George S. McGovern tonight \to make my case\ to stay on the Democra- tic ticket. The two running mates were to fly with Senate colleagues in separate Air Force planes to Louisiana for the funeral of Sen. Allen J. Ellender, D-La. After returning, they were to meet for the first time since Eagleton disclosed six days ago he has been hospitalized three times for psychiatric reasons. \It's my intention to stay in the race,\ Eagleton said Sunday. \I'm going to make my case to him, which I think is a good case.\ The vice presidential nominee said his candidacy had met with a favorable response from the people. But Democratic National Chairman Jean Westwood and Vice Chairman Basil Paterson urged Eagleton to reclgn so the campaign could focus on issues instead of personalities. Imme- diately after Mrs. Westwood, a McGovern selection as chair- man, made the statement on nationwide television, she went to the presidential nominee's home for several hours of talks. Campaign manager Gary Hart, political director Frank Mankiewiscz and adviser John Douglas also were at the McGovern home for the six hours of afternon talks. All refused to comment to repor- regs waiting outside when they eft McGovern said during his return to Washington Saturday night after two weeks in the Black Hills that a decision on whether Eagleton would remain. on the ticket would be a \mutual one.\ But he added: \He's the one that going to, in the final analysis, have to make the decision.\ Eagleton was nominated by the Democratic National Con- vention and theoretically could resist any suggestion from the McGovern camp to resign. But as a practical matter, political observers said it would be almost impossible for him to resist the pressure from a presidential candidate at the top of the ticket and from the party hierarchy. \I would have to weigh it,\ Eagleton replied when asked what he would do if McGovern asked him to leave the ticket. ''Certainly I'll listen respectful- ly and attentively to what it is, and I'll weigh his words. But I won't in advance prejudge what the result will be, or say what my predetermined, irrevocable decision will be,\ Mrs. Westwood said that if Eagleton were to decide to stay on the ticket, \we will go ahead and support him, of course.' Asked if this would be difficult, ghoerephed \yes but I will still o it.\ Paterson said the Democratic National Committee would be able to meet within 10 days to choose a successor. - At first McGovern expressed full support of Eagleton after he made his disclosure at a joint news conference in the Black Hills last Tuesday. But during. the weekend, staff members and- McGovern him- To Quit self seemed to be opening the door for a possible Eagleton withdrawal. It also seemed almost incon- ceivable that Mrs. Westwood and Paterson would urge Eagleton to step down without clearing it in advance with the McGovern camp. McGovern, in his midnight news conference aboard a jetliner, praised Eagleton as being a skillful campaigner and also one of the' best new senators in the last three or four years. But he said the issue involved \a combination of things.\ \'Does it in any way impair his capacity of leadership? Does it arouse anxiety in a public that is already., nervous and uptight about its national leadership? Does 'it da- mage our chances of winning the election? - \These are all things I frankly cannot: answer,” Mc- Govern said. Brem er- On Trial Today UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (UPT)-Arthur ~ Herman Bre- mer, the Milwaukee busboy accused of critically wounding Gov. George C.. Wallace, goes on trial today in a pale green Prince Georges County cour- troom. Bremer, 21, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to charges he attempted to murder Wallace, a campaign worker, a Secret Service agent, and an Alabama state: trooper. He could receive prison terms totaling 123 years if he is convicted. The shootmg incident oc- curred May 15 as Wallace completed a campaign rally at a Laurel, Md., shoppmg center parking lot. A spmal injury left Wallace paraly‘zed from the hips down, id he now is undergoing ther apy in his home state. The Maryland state trial will be presided oyer by Judge Ralph Powers in a second floor courtroom that is about 100 yards from the cell) where Bremer has been held since mid-July.. Powers is ex ted to rule today on a series of motions filed by Bremer's court- appointed attorney, Benjamin Lipsitz. - Lipsitz has asked for two separate trials-one on Bre- mer's sanity and a second on the question of guilt. The attorney also has asked that Bremer \not be surrounded by or accompamed. by guards or other security personnel but simply seated in the courtroom as any other spectator.\ In another motion, Lipsitz has asked that jurors be allowed to enter the courtroom without being searched. Both Lipsitz and the prosecu- tor, Arthur A. Marshall, have submitted lists of questions they wish the judge to ask prospective . jurors. # fully. The security forces now dommate all areas. of the province.\ The object was to crush the IRA and help end violence that has claimed 483 lives since August, 1969, when the army first moved into battles be- tween the Protestant majorxty and the Roman Catholic minori- ty. The statement said six gunmen were shot, two of them fatally, and troops firing rubber bullets dispersed a crowd of youths in Londonderry. He said there were no military casual- ties. The British moved in with 50- ton Cénturion tanks fitted with buildozer blades, in Saracen and Saladin armored cars and in Ferret armored scout cars. \We didn't even hear a whistle,\ said a commander in Belfast. UPI Correspondent Colin Baker said the Londonderry operation was almost soundless -until - IRA *warning sirens wailed to tell IRA supporters of the army action. There was no shooting for a full hour after the army moved, and then only scattered shots were heard Baker reported. By mid-morning some of the Army's heavier equipment was being moved out of Londonder- ry, its job of dismantling barricades-some of which have been in place for two years-finished. The move against the barri- caded sections of Northern Ireland cities came after repeated warnings by Prote- stant militants that they would make open war on the Irish Republican Army's Provisional Wing if British troops failed to take action. Nearly 400 persons have been killed in three years of violence in Northern Ireland strife caused partly by the contention of the Roman Catholic minority that the Protestant majority . discriminates against Catholics, particularly in jobs, housing and voting. Javits Airs Views on Eagleton WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Republican Senator who vocif- erously urged President Nixon to dump Vice President Spiro Com. Agnew from the GOP \ticket this year says Agnew's opponent Democratic Sen. Thomas Eagle- ton is a \first rate senator\ and says the controversy over the Democrat's health could lead to greater public awareness of the < problems of mental illness. In a broadcast interview Sun- day Sen. Jacob K. Javits, R- N.Y: said if Eagleton remamed on the ticket a test of public attitudes on mental illness might 'be the end result. Javits said \the 'public should \accept .and have confidence in any indivi- dual who doctors certify has been cured of emotional prob- lems.\ ‘ \I think we ought to have some faith in the modern thera- pies,\ the liberal Republican said. . Javits said if Eagleton is not dropped as the vice presidential nominee, \it may be a test of the Amerzcan people on the ques- tion of mental illness,\ if he had any.\ The question of whether Sen. George McGovern will retain Eagleton has been raised with the disclosure that Eagleton had undergone electric shock therapy, for treatment of de- pression and fatigue. Concerning the forthcoming Republican National Conention, - Javits, a leader of the GOP 11h- eral wing, said events there might be a portent for control of the party in 1976. He said the contending forces could be a generally conserva- tive wing, of which Vice Presi- dent Agnew is a member, and a progressive wing, with which tehde senator said he sympathiz- Having already committed himself . to backmg Nixon al- though expressing reservations over the vice president, Javits said he hoped Agnew will wage a constructive campaign. \I hope he will have learned from his experience,\ Javits said. \The President will keep him on the mark.\ Pnovil interviewed on AVE (Ole
