Pm o ' Bangladesh Corruption - Swallowing Supplies News coming out of Bangladesh disturbingly cites not only the country's dire need of outside help but also the disposition of officials and \_ others in strategic positions on @ the inside to help themselves . at the expense of those in need. A dispatch from Dacca by New York Times correspondent James P. Sterba tells of the tremendous amount of food and relief supplies - contributed - to \i Bangladesh by other nations ; but all too often sidetracked - into the pockets and bank ' accounts of profiteers. Ac- cording to Sterba, the ~ Bangladesh government of Sheik Mujibur - Rahman cannot account for millions of dollars of such commodities, , many of which are smuggled out of the country and sold for private profit. Relief officials |_ believe as much as two million ' tons of grain are being hoarded by speculators and \ government officials. Enough food apparently is being sent in to Bangladesh, but much of it never reaches people who | are hungry. i ._. Also to be considered is the \ Bangladesh attitude toward outside donors. As of a month ago, the United States con- | fribution had reached $268- million as against the Soviet '}; Union's $62-million. But the . Russians continue to be the }} public heroes while almost }; daily the United: States In- $ formation Service library in ~' Dacca is the target for bricks t through its windows. ¢ -BUFFALO COURIER ‘ EXPRESS Smith Joins Effort for THE o RNAL- REGISTER Serving The Lake Plains Country-Orleans, Niagara, Genesée > sTUeather Clear and very cold tonight, low near 20, ex- cept in teens rural valleys. sunny, high near 40, Rain pfima-bility near Friday partly zero tonight and Friday, VOL. 70-NO. 183 SPECIAL CGUEST- Howard Samuels, at right, o off-track betting in the state, as he addressed Democrats here last Committee Chairman Sanford L.

Smith 111 RNT, hurriedly returned - to - Washington ' yesterday to vote to override the President's veto of the Omnibus Water Pollution Control Act amendments of. 1972. Nixon | vetoed the cleanup bill, but was - overruled by the Senate Tuesday ; night and yesterday by the | House. «_ As he cast his vote in \ overriding the veto, Smith said, ' \We have worked too long and | too strenuously to achieve. this | major legislatiofi and major commitment to clean water for Western New York and for the ination to start all over at the } beginning.\ Smith noted the bill would. | provide an authorized $18 billion ' Xer construction and rehabilitation of sewage plants ' throughout the nation. \Among these projects are several ; critical ones here in Orleans and Niagara Counties that will receive federal funding that has not been available to construct the sewage treatment plants necessary to combat our water pollution. Now that thg money is available we can begin the task | of cleaning up our waters here in ; Western New York,\ Smith remarked. Crime, narcotics, catering to special interest groups and general public distrust were all major issues thrust at the Nixon administration here last night when Howard Samuels, one-time aspirant for the governorship and now head of the N.Y.S. Off- Track Betting Commission, addressed a rally of Orleans Democrats. ° About 250 persons dined at Apple Grove Inn and heard from Samuels along with some of the principal area-wide candidates. Samuels brought his customary relaxed and self- assured personality for his talk and arrived as unseasonable snow flurries hit the area. He opened by citing a recent poll which caught the public's fancy, showing that among a couple dozen types - of professionals or wage earners, \only used car salesmen ranked lower on the list than politicians in the esteem of the public.\ Samuels blamed Nixon's style of administration for rising distrust of politicians and cast another share of the same blame on Gov. Rockefeller. IT WAS 25 AND WHITE- The landscape was white and glazed and the mercury was at 25 when local residents went to work today. Snow scenes like this view of rural trees might be lovely -- but 'most people think it is far too early! - Photo) \Nixon took bows for the 20 p.c. social security increase, but let's not get it wrong. It was the power of the Democratic congress that pushed this through over his objections.\ He cited zooming welfare rolls in the state and nation and then turned the guns again on Nixon. \I anybody is on welfare in this : ountry under President Nixon it is the special interests. Lockheed is on welfare, ITT is on welfare. Penn Central is on welfare.\ Then eycing the drug scene, and sadly admitting that heroin experimentation had trapped one ofhis own sons, Samuels said it is nonsense to try keeping heroin out of the country. \You could grow enough poppies on a couple of thousand acres in this country to supply all the U.S. demand. \The only way to treat this is as a medical problem. Take every single addict in the State of N.Y. and put him in a medical program.\ He charged that crime has risen 33 per cent \under Nixon\ and called it \one of our civil liberties not to be mugged, shot or hit on the head when we walk the streets.\ He smiled in recollection as he harked back to the Truman vs. Dewey election of 1948 when the Dewey camp believed things were wrapped up until the sur- prise upset of late returns. 'People were running away from Truman just a month before that election because they didn't think he could win.\ He likened that to McGovern and forecast a McGovern victory. \I'm proud to support Senator McGovern, as a man who wants to preserve the dignity of the individual. I cannot conceive of this nation dropping 165 pounds of bombs for every person in North and South Vietnam,\ he declared. The speaker spoke in lament of + the death of a personal friend, the late William Monacelli, who was Democratic county chair- man, and Samuels said Monacelli, together with the late John Fabrizzi, Demo chairman of Samuels' own Ontario County, were men who encouraged him at the very outset to get involved in politics. Charles R. Slack, Democratic commissioner of elections in the county, served as toastmaster last night and the: new Democratic county chairman, Sanford L. Church of Albion, Lottery NANUET, N.Y.

Among these were the two state com- mitteemen, Frank DeCarlo and Mrs. Helen Zelazny. Other candidates followed much the same pattern as their addresses to the Medina Chamber of Commerce earlier this month. Assembly candidate Paul Weiss of Batavia, soundly rapped the Rockefeller ad- ministration - for - reckless spending and a rise in the state budget from $1.8 billion when Gov. Harriman left office to $8.3 billion currently. \We've seen 50 tax measures rammed down the throat of a rubber stamp legislature in these years of Rockefeller and it is time we need independent thinking,\ he declared. \We need a guy who will go down there and say 'no' to Rockefeller and Duryea. He blasted his opponent William Knights in a special media release and said Knights and State Senate hopeful James McFarland of a neighboring district have been insulting the average voter by '\'attempting the draw party affiliations around this Assembly race\. He said it took strong Republican support for him (Weiss) to win a seat on the Batavia common council. Orleans Sheriff candidate John Capacci of Albion called for better inter-police agency cooperation in the programs for prisoners on welfare to keep tax costs down. He said, in reference to training, \We have men on the road who have never attended police school.\ Theodore - Swiereznski - of Gaines, the supervisor of that 8 Hurt in School Bus YOUNGSTOWN Eight children were injured and about 60 others shaken when a Lewiston-Porter school bus skidded and overturned off Blairville Rd., near Creek Rd., about a mile east of this village at 3:55 p.m. Wednesday. The busdriver, Mrs. Norma Caldwell, 49, of 2711 Lake Rd., Town of Wilson, was uninjured. She told deputies she was westbound in Blairville Rd. when she heard two children fighting at the rear of the bus. She said the vehicle left the shoulder of the road when she glanced into the rear view mirror to see who was causing the disturbance. The bus struck a road sign, ccossed the roadway and overturned on its right side. i 19, 1972 Coalition ne-time gubernatorial hopeful and now head of ce against the Nixon administration night.

Harry. Butler, Orleans Demo vice chairman, spoke on behalf of Senate candidate James McGinnis, who could not be present because of other ap- pearances. \Send a person like yourself to the Senate,\ he said in reference to a McGinnis campaign slogan which charges that many legislators are \privileged characters\. County Chairman Church told the crowd:; \We are looking forward to a victory rally in this county in about a month.\ New Type High School Proposed NEW YORK (UPD-A new kind of high school that would provide programs from 8 a.m. to 6 pm. was proposed today at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Pedia- trices. Dr. Graham B. Blaine Jr., formerly chief of psychiatry, Harvard University Health Ser- vices, told the nation's pedia- tricians that this new high school \with a split curriculum\ would \go a long way toward solving both the dropout and the drug problems.\ The split curriculum recom- mended by Blaine would in- clude one that was academic and another that emphasized social action. \The social action curriculum in the early years would teach students about the problem of environmental protection, con- servation and crime,\ - said Blaine. The addition of the social ac- tion curriculum and stretching out the school day also would go a long way toward removing boredom from the high school student's life in the hours he is out of school. \In the high school years, the social action portion of the cur- riculum would involve these stu- dents directly as active partici- pants in the hospitals, clinics, schools for the handicapped, jails and - social agencies,\ Blaine said. Fire Call A fire call at 12:15 p.m. today took apparatus to the home of Mrs. Georgia Coon, 205 William. St., where a porch rug was burn- ing. Firemen said scorching of the porch floor was the extent of damage. ' Statement Made d; Kissinger Talks By TRACY WOOD : SAIGON (UPI) -Presidential adviser Henry Kissinger held two rounds of private talks with President Nguyen Van Thieu on ending the Vietnam war today and as they met, the Saigon government rejected a coalition with the Communists as a peace condition. The South Vietnamese Infor- mation Ministry issued an unprecedented statement reaf- firming Thieu's opposition to the Communist-proposed three- part coalition. Normally, offi- cial statements on talks be- tween representatives of the allies are issued jointly at the conclusion of the conferences. The statement was delivered to the Vietnamese press before the end of Kissinger's 3%%-hour morning session - at - Indepen- dence Palace. Kissinger, Thieu and U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth -C. Bunker held a second 1%- hour conference later today. No statements were given to newsmen by participants in the discussions after either of the meetings. Kissinger returned to Bunker's villa after the after- noon session. Kissinger arrived in Saigon Wednesday, a day after his latest round of secret peace talks in Paris with North Vietnamese negotiators. The unexpected second trip to Saigon within two months heightened speculation in South Vietnam - that major - new developments had occurred at his private Paris talks. But High level officials in Washington told UPI reporter Stewart Hensley that Thieu was \highly suspicious\ of Ameri- can contentions that \signifi- cant'' progress at the Paris talks had been made that could head at least to an interim peace pact. . The Washington officials told Hensley that Thieu doubted the sincerity of Hanoi's concession on a coalition government and said it was not adequate even if true. The officials indicated the Communists have dropped the demand that Thieu be barred from - any interim - coalition pending elections. | The statement issued by the South Vietnamese Information Farm Women Make Plans The Orleans Chapter of The Women - for - Survival - of Agriculture held a meeting in Albion at the Orleans County ‘Coopera‘tive Extension Association building Wednesday and elected officers. Mrs. Janet Kirby was elected chairman; Mrs. Joan Herman, secretary; Mrs. Evelyn Kast, treasurer; Mrs. Arlene Searls and Mrs. Catherine Blackburn in charge of publicity. Mike Muscarella, head of Farm Bureau Marketing in Orleans County, spoke to the women about \present weakness in the procedures of bargaining and marketing farm produce, especially the short comings of the Agricultural Fair Practices Act of 1967.\ Certain necessary provisions to protect all in- terested - parties in - this bargaining process are-not provided for in this act, he stated. ' \Handlers of farm produce, on which the entire population depend, .are not required to bargain in good faith with associations representing a substantial part of the farm products and is hoped that new legislation to be presented to our law makers will correct some of these weak areas and protect all segments of the industry, in- cluding consumers,\ it was stated during the meeting. The women agreed that they would encourage passage of such . legislation. After their wor- thwhile efforts in effecting a more fair price for processing apples this fall in Western New York, they recognize the \work is only started.\ The next scheduled meeting will be at the Orleans County Cooperative Extension Building in Albion, Nov. 15 at 8 p.m..

Head Start Looks For Medina Class ALBION - An effort to decentralize the major pre-school program in Orleans County couldlead to the location of a federally funded agency's third classroom in Medina, the Orleans Community Action Committee's board of directors was told last night. Patricia McCormick, director of Orleans County's Head Start program, said her agency is attempting to find a building in. Medina suitable for classroom use. She said that several locations are under con- sideration. - Her comments were contained in an oral report made last night to the CAC board prior to their approval of her agency's proposed budget for next year. Head Start, locally a $100,000- a-year project funded sub- stantially by the federal government, - is geared to pre-school children from low- income backgrounds. .

Two of those classrooms are situated in Albionwith children from Medina taught in one and children from Albion in the other. program .- follows Each of the classrooms holds 15 youngsters. Last night, the Head Start director said that as part of an attempt recently begun to branch the program out so it will better serve the entire county, her office is planning to relocate the \Medina'' classroom in Medina. She said talks with various school officials in Medina in- dicated they were receptive to the move. Children participating in the Head Start project, described by its director as a \comprehensive child | development program\ attend from 9 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Besides their classroom in- struction, the children's physical and psychological development is monitored. Nutritional, medical and dental needs are cared for in conjunction with the intellectual part of the program. In addition, children, who must reach the age of four by December 1 of the year priorto their eligibility for kindergarten in their district, are served a hot lunch and 'a snack in the af- ternoon. Although eligibility for the federal guidelines, - other - factors determined by an interview with the program's director are CODSiered; . Deputies, Jailers OK Four Percent Raise ALBION-Jailers and deputies of the Orleans County Sheriff's Department have ratified a new two-year contract with the county calling for a four per cent across-the-board salary in- crease, a union negotiator said this morning. Thomas M. Pomidoro, a field representative of the Civil Service Employees Association, told the Journal-Register the deputies and jailers will also be getting a new Blue Cross-Blue Shield plan. '* Speaking from his Rochester office, Pomidoro said that in addition to the four per cent salary hike for the department employees, jailers will be receiving another two per cent wage increase. - Salaries for sheriff's deputies this year ranged from $8,497.50 to $8,997.50 while wages for jailers ranged from a low of $6,533 to a high of $7,233. Pomidoro said today the extra two per cent for jailers in the two year contract was negotiated because their wages were not in line with the kind of work they have been doing in relation to the . deputies. Reached this morning in Albion, County Attorney Sanford Church told the Journal-Register the jailers will be getting a flat $125 increase on top of the four per cent hike. ~ «I think this works out to two ~ per cent,\ Church said. \That's probably what he .(Pomidoro) was talking about.\ Church said the terms of the Have A Chuckle contract have been agreed upon by the county's bargaining team .of which he is a member. Board of Supervisors Chairman George Batchellor of Barre makes up the other half of the team. Church' also indicated the contract terms have met with approval from the budget and - public safety committees of the board of supervisors. He said the contract will be submitted to the full board for its approval at the November meeting. Meanwhile, contract talks between union representatives for Social Services Department employees. and the county are continuing. C Raymond Nowakowski, a field representative - with _ the American Federation of State, Municipal and County Em- ployees, told the Journal- Register this morning no final action has been taken by the parties involved in - the negotiations on their new con- tract. | . _ 7 \I expect to call Church this week to set up another meeting,\ Nowakowski said in a telephone interview from his Buffalo office. Nowakowski and Mrs. Jean Bistoff, a> social welfare examiner who represents the federation's local on the bargaining team, met last week with Church and Batchellor at the Court House here in Albion. Nowakowski said then no final contract had been worked out and declined all comment, as did the county negotiators, on what the union was seeking in the agreement. & PITTSBURGH (UPI) - The sight of John K.
