'\Noincreaseinabnormalities was found with the method used. This suggests that no specific relationship existed between exposure to chemical agents in the Love Canal area and increased frequency of chromosomal damage,\ said a 40-page report by the Centers for Environmental Health of the national Centers for Disease Control. The finding refuted a study by the Environmental Protec tion Agency conducted in 1980 that showed chromosomal damage to some Love Canal residents. Following that study, thefederal government relocat- ed 800 families from the area. New York state earlier had relocated 237 families living closest to the canal. «Rim ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI) - Presidential candidate Sen. Ernest Hollings, D-S.C., makes no bones about the fact he wants Gov. Mario Cuomo's support for the New York primary. Hollings, theformer governor of South Carolina and a senator since 1966, began to say Monday he disagreed with state Democrats' pushfor a late May primary rather than earlier in the spring. After meeting withDemocrat- ic lawmakers, the senator said a May primary may be too late to make a difference in the race for the Democratic nomi- nation. ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI) -Gov.

D'Amato and Democratic Sen. Daniel Moynihan Monday filed their annual financial disclosure statements for 1982, and both reported being paid substantialamountsfor deliver- ing speeches to a variety .of groups across the country and abroad. Both were paid $60,663 in 1982 for representing New York in the Senate. However, in - addition, D'Amato reported receiving $56,825 for 42 speeches, while Moynihan said he received $37,500 for 26 lectures - a total of $94,325. D'Amato, who heads a Senate subcommittee .on securities, gave several of his speeches to groups involved with | inv ts, securities and insurance. Last year, he reported receiving $25,250 from speeches. Moynihan's addresses were also delivered to a wide range of organizations. The United Jewish Appeal and the Jewish National Fund his; Greater Washingtonpaid him $13,000 for seven speeches. There is no limit this year on how much senators can receive in honoraria. Moynihan also reported that his wife, Elizabeth, was paid $59 for lecture and writing fees, and that he received $900 for four articles in The New Republic, The New YorkTimes andthe Washington Post. Financial disclogure state- ments are required each year from members of Congress. Thedeadline forthe Senate was Monday night. Normally, the documents are not released for several days, but both Moyni- han and D'Amato made their statements available on the day they were due. - Moynihan, however, released more than he was required by law, including figures from his 1982 tax return which showed he and his wife had an adjusted taxable gross income of $85,175 in 1982. Not included was $8,650 in tax-free interest from New YorkStateDormitory Authority bonds. Moynihan and his wife also an overall net worth of $355,372.66. That included $591,328 in assets, of which $388,600 was for his two homes, one in Delaware County, N.Y., and the other in Washington. His reported liabilities were $235,955.34, of which $189,155.34 came in three m His office said Moynihan's 1981 net worth was $359,000, slightly more than the 1982 D'Amato was not as detail in the figires he ma available, releasing a break- down of nis speeches, but not releasing other exact figures. Instead, he followed disclo sure guidelines and listed his various earnings and liabilities according to categories of value. Because thosecategories are wide-ranging, it was impossible to determine a net worth. D'Amato's office said the senator , when asked his person- al net worth, put it \between $90,000 and $100,000,\ not including honoraria. trig was a Fomd # z 60 . » Serving The Lake Plains Country-Orleans, g Niagara, Gen - MEDINA, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, MAY 17, 1983 w TOP FUNDRAISER--The Orleans County Special Friends' program received a welcome $800 boost after a Bowl-a-Thon held recently by the Village of Albion Police Benevolent Association at Sneezy's Bowling.

Face Accusations The inter-relationship of Orleans County District At- torney Curtis L. Lyman and certain affairs of his law firm, Lyman & Lyman, have been challenged in accusations brought before the Grievance Committee of the 8th Judicial District, it was made known today. Fast-moving events of recent days led to the disclosure of the matter by the Gannett news organization this morning. District Attorney Lyman und his son, Curtis L. Lyman Jr., have been associated in the Albion law firm for some years and both are named in the ac- cusations. Documents on file with the Orleans County Clerk indicate grievances filed against the Lymans. It is indicated that Medina attorney Vincent D. Cardone, as attorney for Jeanne Motzer Samborski of Lyndonville in a child custody case, has made the accusations. The charges as they stand at present revolve around in cidents early last year at a time when Mrs. Samborski was involved in trying to gain custody of a child. It is reported that she and others of her family entered a Town of Carlton home on May 17 of 1982, taking custody of the child. On the same day, it is reported, she conferred as a client with the younger Lyman at the law firm in Albion and discussed facts of the visit to the Carlton property and the taking of the child. Lyman reportedly advised her of her legal position. & At the same time, she and her relatives were arrested on charges of second and fourth degree criminal mischief and second degree burglary. Also arrested were Mrs. Samborski's mother, Geraldine McClain Motzer, and her two sisters, Geraldine and Joan Motzer. Attorney Cardone is charging serfous conflict of interest on the part of the Lyman firtm in private dealings with the Motzers plus actions of the senior Lyman as district attorney. In addition to being a law partner of his father, the younger Lyman is an assistant district attorney. Medina School $7.8 Million By JIM HUDNUT J-R Staff Writer Residents of the Medina Central School District could be facing an increase of 85 cents per $1,000 in their property taxes ander the terms of the district's 198384 budget which was adopted by the school board in a meeting Monday. The buxiget proposes er- penditures of $7,827,168 for the 1983-84 fiscal year, an increase of $547,076 from the district's current spending plan of $7,280,092. School superin- tendent Thomas Schirmer said the increase represents a rise of 75 per cent from the previous year, a hike district officials and board members said \within the cost of living increases.\ Although the budget's total are going to state in the coming year. However, the tar levy remains schject to further changes in the coming weeks McKeever sald, \H is possHie tat our revers cocld see sane Carges in the According - to _ current estimates, the tax levy in crease will result in an average property tax hike of approximately 85 cents per $1,000. Assessment rates vary for each of the district's towns, so the amount of increase for each town will be different. \I feel very comfortable with this budget,\ M~Keever said. \It assures that we will continue to offer a good educational program and have sufficient funds to te the district.

Contacted today in Albion, Curtis Lyman Jr. told the Journal-Register, ''We categorically deny any misconduct in this matter. Because of the canons of ethics we cannot say more at this time.\ Mr. Cardone, the Medina attornéy involved in the ac- cusations, said this morning, \It is not appropriate for me to comment any further in light of the fact that there is pending litigation and - scheduled hearings. \It is not a case of being out to get someone. There were attempts, to get this matter taken care of properly.

I Syria Condemns Accord As 'Act of Submission' United Press International Israeli and Lebanese negotia- tors today signed a historic U.S.-mediated pact designed to bring home the Jewish state's 30,000 4roops from Lebanon as \ a step towards a just and lasting peace\ nearly a year after the Israeli invasion. Syria immediately con- demned the accord as an \act of submission\ and sealed off two roads in eastern Lebanon. There have been reports that Syria would retaliate by closing its border with Lebanon, cutting Lebanon's overland trade routes with the Arab PRICE - 25° world. But Lebanese officials said the Syrian action was not critical because other, more heavily traveled highways link- ingthe two aountries remained open. The agreement, achieved in five months of arduous negotia- tions capped by a whirlwind shuttle effort by U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz, ends the state of war that has existed between Lebanon and Israel since 1948. ' Fired Teacher's Aid Kills Himself After Hostage Siege By HENRY G. LOGEMAN BRENTWOOD, N.Y. (UPI) - A psychiatric patient fired from his teacher's aide job for punching a student went on a rampage at a junior high school, wounding the boy and the principal and holding a classroom of hostages before killing himself. Robert Wickes, 24, also had threatened Cabinet members and had violent tendencies, including a previous suicide attempt, his attorney said Monday. School officials said they were unaware of his mental problems. Wickes - wore - combat fatigues and dog tags and carried a .22-caliber rifle when he took over a ninth-grade class of 20 at Brentwood Junior High about 1 p.m. EDT M \I'm not leaving here alive,\ he was quoted by one of the hostages when he barged into the room. \You kids messed up career,\ my . The stege ended nine hours later when the final hostage, Brian Lopez, who acted as the gunman's negotiator with police, ran out of the room and shouted, \He shot himself,\ after Wickes fired a bullet into his right temple. Wickes died at 11:41 p.m. EDT at a hospital. Brentwood Junior High was closed today because of the Wickes' attorney, Gerald Lotto, who was brought to the scene of the drama along with a psychiatric social worker and Wickes' mother, said his client was a - paranoid schizophrenic and was un- dergoing mental treatment.

Wickes was fired from his $20-a-day teacher's aide job after a May 4 fistfight with student Louis Burgos, 15, school officials said. The job called for Wickes to monitor classes and substitute for absent teachers. Burgos was suspended for his part in the fight and Monday was his first day back at school. With the students stretched out on the floor under his gun, witnesses told the Daily News Wickes walked up to Burgos and said, \You know me,\ then shot him in the stomach and finger. The boy, who:school officials said never had any trouble before, was in stable condition today at Squthside Hospital, - where Wickes died. Prin Steven Howland, 47, who was shot in the face by Wickes, was treated and released. Wickes initially freed Burgos and another youth, who carried the wounded boy to safety, and a boy who felt nauseated. Nine other students - taking a cue from their sick classmate -- induced vomiting and also were released. The gunman freed his eight remaining hostages gradually after a radio station broadcast his rock music requests and a statement complaining of unfair treatment and threatening to \paint the road with carnage.\ Regan Hopes For Early _ Retirement Expansion ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI) - Comptroller Edward Regan says he hopes local government workers may soon be offered an early retirement program similar to the one that prompted 8,500 applications from state workers. The comptroller Monday said there was no reason why local governments should not use a similar program to trim their work forces. However, a state budget spokesman said many details remain to be ironed out before legislation can be introduced. Gov. Mario Cuomo proposed theretirement incentive as part of a plan to cut the state work force by up to 14,000 positions. About 3,400 state workers were expected to opt for early retirement and receive three years' credit toward their pensions, but the final number of applicants was a whopping 8,500. The governor has vowed to introduce a similar plan for other public employees, such as local government workers and teachers. The early retirements are being used to partially offset some of nearly 3,800 planned employee layoffs The first 1,200 state workers were laid off May 5, and about 1,100 more are scheduled to lose their jobs May 25. Peter Lynch, a spokesman for the Budget Division, said It was not yet known how many of next week's layoffs would be canceled by the heavy response to the early retirement. He said a figure may be available late this week. Regan noted some private sector companies are using early retirement to reduce their work forces. The comptroller did not specify whether he believed local governments should use the same three-year pension credit, or some other type of incentive. But Lynch said a number of questions remained to be answered before a bill could be introduced. Local governments could be offered a number of different options, he said, but noted that some teachers' contracts already offer early retirement incentives. Since the intent of early retirement is to cut the work force, a mechanism may be needed to ensure that those jobs are not simply re-filled with new workers, Lynch said. However, such an incentive would have to be designed to avoid infringing on local decision-making.
