:4 Government's Little secrets The structure of the government's security classification system provoked continuous amazement and awe. The Wall Street Journal recently illuminated one facet, now that a sweeping declass- ification - of - documents is underway. One method of declassiftying is to take samples randomly from large masses of documents, and then, if the sample is har- mlbess, automatically declassify the rest. One such sample revealed a letter to a general advocating the use of slingshot devices on U.S. planes to down rockets fired by enemy aircraft. That sample declassified 68 cubic feet of material. Another now declassified item gives taxi schedules in Malaya in 1943. What is hard to believe or accept with a straight face is that these documents have been considered World War I! secrets, locked in large vaults for the last quarter century with the vault combinations being changed every three weeks! -- MILWAUKEE JOURNAL Schools Set to Close All Medina Central School District schools will close - tomorrow at the end of the morning session for the Thanksgiving recess. Rural morning kindergarten classes will not meet on Wed- nesday. Village kindergarten children who normally attend afternoon sessions will come in the morning. This rotation of classes is scheduled to balance attendance during the half day sessions throughout the school year. Philip Distefano and Allan Gay, elementary school prin- cipals, have distributed letters to parents giving dismissal and bus pickup times for students in their buildings. District administrators stress the importance of attendance on this day - the traditional \get- away day\ for Thanksgiving vacationers - because of the link between state aid and at- tendance. voL. To_No. 206 Private Viet War By ALINE MOSBY GIF-SUR-YVETTE, - France (UPI) -White: House aide Henry A. Kissinger and North Vietnamese negotiators Le Duc Tho and Xuan Thuy met today in this village outside Paris for their second round of talks aimed at ending the Vietnam War. The Hanoi negotiators drove up in two black Citroen cars with a French plainclothed police escort at 2.40 p.m. and Kissinger arrived 15 minutes later, leading a convoy of some 30 newsmen who followed him 15 miles from Paris. The two sides entered a white stucco red-roofed villa belong- ing to the French Communist party to begin their negotia- tions. . Kissinger has said one more round of negotiations would be enough to wrap up the cease- fire agreement, but there were mounting indications from Sai- gon of President Nguyen Van Thieu's dissatisfaction with the course of events. There were hints that he might dispatch an envoy to Paris to look in on the negotiations and there were hints that he might be sending a personal letter to President Nixon once more outlining his opposition to certain terms of the agreement. Kissinger arrived in a black Cadillac embassy car and waved to some 50 newsmen gathered by the wall around the house, formerly owned by French artist Fernand Leger. The newsmen shouted ques- tions but Kissinger only smiled as he drove through nine-feet- high green metal gates. Wearing a gray suit and carring a white raincoat, he got out of his auto to shake hands with Vietnamese officials, then turned, smiling brightly, and pointed to the milling journa- lists. Kissinger had a uniformed police motor cycle escort of four men, along with the newsmen who tailed him from the Paris embassy in a cortege which broke through red traffic lights on the way here. In Saigon, Foreign Ministry press spokesman Pham Dang Sum said Kissinger is telling J-R News Analysis Talks Continue the North Vietnamese peace negotiators that South Vietnam still opposes portions of the Hanoi-Washington draft treaty, the official Vietnam press reported. The Vietnam Press said Sum \reiterated the Republic of Vietnam stand that: all North Vietnamese troops must be withdrawn to the North; the cease-fire must be realized for the whole of Indochina; the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) must be respected and the roles, activities and composition of the so-called Council of Reconciliation - and - Concord 'must be clearly defined. \'The Republic of Vietnam will not carry out any agreements which did not bear the signature of the Republic of Vietnam,'' the official paper said, Sum reported. Kissinger and the North Vietnamese met for 4% hours Monday, and the Communists said the Hanoi negotiators had briefed Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Viet Cong foreign minister on progress of the. talks. It was thought earlier the two sides would meet again this morning but instead they decided to hold the second meeting in the afternoon. + Serving The Lake Plains Country-Orleans, Nzagara, G MEDINA, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1972 WHAT NOW for John Connally, who headed Demo- crats-for-Nixon, is a question in Washington with Presi- dent Nixon picking and choosing for his new admin- istration. lcs.

Treasury Department has re- funded a $10 meal for Donny Firsching's two pet rats. The rats consumed half a $10 bill the 11-year-old boy left too near his rat cage. _The remains were sent to the Treasury Department with an explanation.

Conable Jr., who has served Orleans County for several terms under the old 37th Congressional District, will be handing over the stewardship of Orleans to Rep. Henry Smith 111 at the end of this year. Orleans County friends of the popular and influential Conable have decided not to let the oc- casion go by with a merewave of the hand. Sunday, Dec. 10, has been 'declared by a committee as \We Thank You, Barber Conable Day\ in Orleans and a public reception is arranged. 'This will be held from 2 to 5 in the afternoon at the new Fight Seen Over CAC Job By CAREY ENGLISH ALBION - Expectations are running high that a confrontation will probably take place next month within the board of directorsof this county's major anti-poverty agency over who will become director of the federally funded organization. 'The expectations appeared quite justified last Wednesday night when the Orleans Com- munity Action Committee's board of directors held its regular monthly meeting in the auditorium of the Social Services Department on Route 31 here in Albion. Although the meeting place was unfamiliar, a result of prior scheduling for use of the basement in the Orleans County Extension building on Main Street, the tensions were not. For the last year in fact, CAC board meetings have been marked by an undercurrent of hostility, sometimes pronounced but mostly kept under wraps by those currently holding the reins of power. Although they had no control over the occasional outburst, their attitude seemed to be that an appearance of unanimity would do more for the agency and its work than an outright bloodletting. CAC Director The conflict has centered around a job position -- that of CAC director, the highest paying full-time salaried slot available in the agency. Up until this year, thejob was held by Mrs. Erma Ford, a large, friendly black woman described by heradmirers as \unselfish\, \devoted\ and \remarkable\. For $10,000 a year, Mrs. Ford ran the whole show and spent a gooddeal of her time, she felt, in fighting off intrusions by the agency's board of directors. Through her last year as director, Mrs. Ford served without a deputy difector, a situation she repeatedly stressed meant that she was carrying too heavy a load. The board, of course, was I A i £ ~~ Omi « committee in locating a replacement. Into the picture came Charles Pulley, a black man who to his allies has been just as \devoted\ and \unselfish\ to CAC as Mrs. Ford. Pulley had been on the CAC board of directors for years and like the other board mem- bers, was unpaid for hisservice. According to other board members, Pulley was probably Mrs. Ford's strongest supporter on the board of directors, an ally who could be counted on to lend a hand and rally support for the entire list of items that required board approval before they could be executed. It was not surprising then, when earlierthis year as rumors began circulating that Mrs. Ford was seriously considering retirement, that Pulley secured the backing of enough CAC board members to ensure his ap- pointment as deputy director of the organization. At the time, some board members, who would disdain labels such as \reformist\ or \dissident\, let it be known that they might challenge Pulley's appointment to the job. Nothing materialized, however, that gave any indication they had seriously The wrinkle was a motion made by Eric Goodale, the ar- ticulate and vocal board member representing Orleans Welfare Rights, who suggested that CAC staff personnel have the op- portunity to meet with the candidate before the final selection is made. The motion caused something of a stir at the board meeting during which it was proposed because it was clearly the result of the on-going conflict between some staffers and the CAC office in combination with the very evident tension in the CAC board between those who supported Pulley and those who did not. In essence, it was aimed at preventing a \walkaway\ by Pulley when his application for director came up for review by the personnel committee. Last week, the forces had been marshalled for a confrontation over the personnel committee's choice but no recommendation materialized. A committee spokesman told the board that the choice had been narrowed down to two candidates and although she was not asked to name either one, it was clear, from other board members that one of the can- expected to mount a concerted Gidates was Pulley. attack on the agency powers- The committee spokesman told that-be. Within months, Mrs. Ford did in fact retire from the job and in a routine vote by the board, Pulley, the newly named deputy director was elevated to acting CAC director. Again, the board was faced with the selection of a high staff member and accordingly, the board went through the motions of asking that the personnel committee take the bull by the hoans, advertise for applicants and come up with a recom- selection 8 rel , . process. mendation after careful review.

While it is too early to predict the board that a recom- mendation would probably be available at the next board meeting and it was at this time that Goodale reminded the board that the staff, according to the earlier motion, would want to arrange a meeting with the candidates before a final recommendation was rendered. As a sidelight to the story, it appears that a vacancy on the personnel committee and its filling last week by the board may drastically affect the entire where the doctor stands on some of the major issues which the agency may face head-on once it appoints a new director, he has shown a definite preference, in contrast to some other board members, of getting involved in CAC problems. Careful and dexterous in his speech, Dr. Glidden goes about examining an issue before the board much as a layman would expect a good surgeon to do...quickly but cautiously. It remains to be seen whether in the short space of time bet- ween now and the next board meeting he can have a major impact on the selection of a new director but if the confidence of some members of the board was any indication last week, he just may. .At the very end of the meeting, it became clear that those op- posed to Pulley being appointed director may try to scuttle the two personnel committee selections and urge that a whole new review begin again. For these members, an at- tempt last week to get a proposed CAC btziget for the coming year approved --a budget that called for the elimination of the deputy director's job and a possible hike in salary from $10,000 to $12,000 for the new director=« was only one more indication that some changes must be made in the way the agency is being run. Had the board approved this (which, by the way, it did not), before the personnel committee recommendation, Pulley's job would have been eliminated, a move that ac- cording to Pulley, was being done to use the money for better purposes---primarily the creation of a full-time aide on the staff who would serve as an \outreach\ worker. Pulley's opposition, however, saw it as a move to force sym- pathetic board members to approve him as director because, otherwise, they alleged, Pulley, - who left one job in Albion to become deputy director but kept another part-time position as a school bus driver there--would be out of work.

(UPI) -- An aide to President Nixon says the Chief Executive ordered a reorganization of the government because he feared his administration might stag- nate unless it was infused with new ideas. \There is a tendency after a landslide victory for an admi- nistration to go 'downhill if there are not new ideas,\ Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said Monday. There may be familiar faces in new settings in Nixon's second term as a result of the shake-up Nixon is planning in the relative seclusion of his Camp David retreat. Ziegler said that although some Cabinet members-he cited only Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird as an example -plan to leave government, others would prefer to stay but change to other jobs. \The President has some imaginative ideas on how to use these good men who do not want to leave public service but desire a change in responsibili- ty,\ Ziegler told newsmen Monday. Nixon summoned another group of top government officials plus Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York to Camp David today for indivi- dual talks on reorganization planning. . ‘ Although Rockefeller, a one- time Nixon rival who was the President's campaign chairman in New York this year, has figured prominently in specula- tion about a Cabinet appoint- ment, Ziegler said, \he's not coming up to talk about a Cabinet post.\ - ‘ Ziegler said | Nixon called Rockefeller to Camp David to \discuss reorganization mat- ters, particularly domestic.\ Administration officials sum- moned for meetings with the President included Chairman Herbert Stein of the Council of Economic Advisors, communi- cations director Herbert G. Klein, Chairman James Schie- Contempt Order Is | Sought Against Fill ALBION -A show cause order will be sent this week to Buffalo asking why the operators of a Town of Murray landfill should not be held in contempt of court, a Rochester attorney said this morning. Duncan W. O'Dwyer, attorney for the eastern Orleans County municipality, told the Journal- register legal papers will be submitted toward the latter part of this week to the \Part I\ judge in Buffalo asking for the court's signature. The action follows an Oct. 6 decision by State Supreme Court Justice Norman A. Stiller granting a permanent injunction to the Town of Murray enjoining two men from continuing their landfill operation on the West Kendall Road. A O'Dwyer, speaking by telephone from his Rochester office, said the show cause order, once it is signed, would then have to be served on the operators of the landfill - Lynn Leastman and James Dugan. O'Dwyer said he does not expect the matter will be brought before a special term of State Supreme Court before mid- December at the earliest. On Oct. 10, O'Dwyer told the Journal-Register his office was sending a legal motion requesting execution of the in- junction to Justice Stiller later that week. - At that time, O'Dwyer noted that once that document had been signed and filed with the office of the Orleans County Court, the defendants in the action would then have 30 days to appeal. On Oct. 30, an appeal was in fact recorded in the clerk's of- fice, according to records examined by the Journal- Register. However, O'Dwyer said this morning that a notice of appeal does not \stay\ the injunction which barred further operations at the landfill. - O'Dwyer said to the best of his office's knowledge, the landfill is still operating in apparent violation of the injunction thus necessitating the show cause order for contempt. ' The landfill has been the center : of a sometimes emotional dispute between the landfill operators and the Town of Murray ever since the town passed a dumping ordinance in October, 1970, that prohibitedéthe use of the town as a dumping ground. Beeton Says Farmers Setting Firm Policies LaVerne Beeton, Orleans County delegate to the annual meeting of the New York State Farm Bureau, recently held at Syracuse, today stated that considerable progress was made in resolving a policy stand on state and federal issues. From the time State Farm Bureau president Richard McGuire brought down his gavel on the first session Monday af- ternoon until he rapped the close of the . resolutions session of Wednesday, farmers debated legislative issues and shared ideas on how to make Farm Bureau programs more ef- fective. Acting on resolutions sub- mitted by a state committee after months of investigation and debate at the local level, the farm delegation adopted Farm Buyeau policy for 1973 which will guide the organization's efforts in the halls of Congress and the State Legislature. They adopted a formal resolution in which they said they will exert \strong opposition'' to proposals for including agricultural em- ployment under the provisions of the State Labor Relations Act. \One of the principle dif- ferences between agriculture and other industrial production is the perishability of farm crops. Other differences include the - influence of the weather. ..and the unpredictable hours that may be involved, especially at har- vest time.\ The farm leaders called for passage of a proposal similar to the National Agricultural Marketing and Bargaining Act which failed in the last session of Congress. This legislation would insure a more orderly marketing process whereby farmers would be guaranteed equity in their bargaining position with processors. In their recommendation on auto insurance, the delegates called for New York Farm Bureau to work with other in- terested individuals, groups and legislators in the draft of a revised and workable auto reparations insurance proposal. Don J. Wickham, who stepped down from his post this year as New York State Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets was presented with the 1972 Distinguished Service to Agriculture Award. Richard McGuire of Cam- bridge was re-elected to a third year term as State Farm Bureau President. Succeeding Harold Hawley of Weedsport, who retired as the organization's Vice-President, will be Allen Child of Malone. Mrs. Richard Schoonmaker, Wallkill, was re- elected to head the State Women's committee and Tom a Lee of Dexter was tapped for chairmanship of the State Young: Farmers Committee. Saratoga County was cited as the top county Farm Bureau in' the state. The other county Farm Bureaus making up the top ten in the state were Chemung, Chenango, Erie, Ontario, Ren- sselaer, Seneca, Steuben, Washington and Wyoming. A Wyoming county man, Gary Van Slyke of Pike, was honored. the State's Outstanding Young Farmer. He will represent New York in national competition this December. - Have A Chuckle . singer of the Atomic Energy Commission, Chairman William Casey of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and .

This is used to provide toys, food and clothing to needy families at Christmas, according to Rev. Burton Entrekin, fund leader this season. > Also, flowers, fruit and candy are sent to nursing homes, and the Long Term Care Unit at Medina Memorial Hospital and to people in the area who live alone. Gifts are also purchased for Iroquois Rehabilitation Center. - Last year the fund benefited over 600 people, he said.
