Report Bormann Alive LONDON (UPI) -A London newspaper said today Martin Bormann, the object of one of the world's most intense hunts for Nazi criminals, is alive and hiding in South America.

It said he was last seen Oct. 5 on the border between Argentina and Chile. The article, the first of a fivepart series written for the London Daily Express by American writer Ladislas Farago and Express reporter Stewart Steven, was illustrated by three pictures reportedly showing Bormann as he appeared Oct. 5. Bormann, deputy to Adolf Hitler, was sentenced to die by the Nuernberg tribunal, which tried him in absentia after World War II.

Some experts believe he died with Hilter as the Third Reich collapsed. But the Daily Express said he is living under the names of Ricardo Bauer and Juan Gomez and when last known, he lived on an Argentine ranch owned by a member of the Krupp family, which was instrumental in arming Hitter's forces. "His last refuge, to which the Argentine secret service traced him only a few weeks ago, was in the province of Salta," the newspaper said. was staying in a cottage on the Rancho Grande, the vast estate of Arndt von Bohlen und Halbach, last scion of the Krupp family." Daily Express said it would offer "incontrovertible evidence" that Bormann did not die as many believe in 1945, but is instead a prosperous businessman with high ranking friends in several South American governments. According to Farago and Steven, Bormann fled in 1948 to Argentina by way of Genoa, Italy, to join a treasure he had sent on earlier.

They said he was under the personal protection of Argentine dictator Juan Peron until Peron's ouster in 1955. "The documents show his astounding metamorphosis from a Nazi potentate into a man without a country, and then into a successful investor of the smuggled Nazi funds with a financial wizardry that has made him an important factor in the economic life of South America," the Express said. However, one of the world's top Nazi hunters, based i in Vienna, discounted a London newspaper report today that Martin Bormann is alive and living in South America. Arrest Driver After Accident A local driver was charged Sunday after a four-car accident. Police said Dale F.

Smith, 25, of 417 15th was charged with driving an unsafe vehicle after his car hit a parked auto in the 1500 block of High Street at 2:05 a.m. Sunday.

Nichols, of 1504 High St. The impact pushed the Nichols auto into another owned by Michael F.

Leonard, of 1508 High which in turn damaged another auto, also owned by Leonard. Smith escaped injury in the mixup.

Judge Requests Air Con Conditioning, Elevator In Rochester Courthouse ROCHESTER-Fulton County Circuit Court Judge Wendell Tombaugh presented a 15-point program for complete modernization of the courthouse to county commissioners and councilmen Monday. Before outlining each point, Judge Tombaugh pointed out that he has made only four requests for courthouse maintenance during the last six years: repairs to the 'deputy clerk's office, repairs to the conference room, intercom telephones, and a new tile roof.

Judge Tombaugh emphasized that these repairs to the 76-yearold building were necessary, as he believes the 15-point program to be. "My policy has been, and will continue to be, to make only requests for those things which I -firmly believe are needed by the court," Judge Tombaugh stated. The first of his 15 requests was for central air conditioning, necessitated by the increased case load, 526 cases filed in 1967 compared to 770 cases filed in. 1972, which requires -round operation of the court. Along with central air conditioning, the courthouse needs an entirely new heating system, Judge Tombaugh said, complete with separate controls for each room, The present heating system was installed in 1896 when the courthouse was built.

It has one pump and, Tombaugh said, "If one area needs heat, the pump is made to run and everyone gets heat. It is not uncommon for us to open windows in January to make it bearable in the courtroom." Judge Tombaugh's third request was for modern window frames and thermopane glass. "To get the most out of air conditioning and heat, the (present) windows and frames should be replaced with double glass which can de removed from the inside and washed Tombaugh stated. The fourth request was for an elevator. Judge Tombaugh said prospective jurors, parties to suits and some lawyers have been physically unable to get up the stairs, adding, "Our duty of furnishing court facilities is unfulfilled if those facilities are inaccessible to anyone." Also necessary.

Judge Graveside Rites For Holt Infant Who, Me? The name on the card is read and the look on one face tells the story. Melissa Marie Galbraith is "Miss Teenage America" for 1972. She was crowned Saturday night. (UPI) Tombaugh told county officials, is additional vault storage for the increased volume of records that must be kept, a library room for a complete law library, and an auxiliary courtroom for depositions, juvenile cases and, if approved by the legislature, the proposed county court system that would replace justice of the peace courts. Additional requests include a second conference room, modern public rest rooms, a private rest room for the judge, a security cell for prisoners awaiting arraignment or trial, complete utilization of the third floor of the courthouse, and provisions for a hall for the judge to travel from his office to the courtroom.

The fourteenth request Judge Tombaugh made was for custodial service for the court, which he said was "desperately" needed. Request number 15 was for repairs to damage caused by. water and age, together with what Judge Tombaugh called "tasteful decorations in conformity with the architecture of the building." "These 15 requests are of equal Judge Tombaugh stated. "They are all needed, and needed now. Economy would dictate they be provided simultaneously, not piecemeal." "Court needs are so unique that no judge or architect could possibly advise you unless he has had specialized training in this field," Judge Tombaugh added.

"To my knowledge, there are only two people in the entire United States who are qualified to advise you." These two men are Dr. Michael Wong, described by the Institute for Court Management, University of Denver, as "undoubtedly the most outstanding expert in courthouse design and renovation," and Walter Sobel, who was recommended to Judge Tombaugh by the American Bar Association.
