Police charge mother, boyfriend with abuse By Scot Lehigh GLOBE STAFF In an extraordinary appeal for a raise, the 29 top-ranking members of the Massachusetts judiciary, including all seven members of the state's Supreme Judical Court, have written Gov. Weld to warn that the state could see an exodus of judges unless their pay is hiked. Their appeal to Weld, contained in a sternly worded, five-page letter dated yesterday, immediately was caught up in politics on Beacon Hill as the governor indicated the raise was the Legislature's call and legislative leaders said Weld would have to give his support before they act. The justices complain that inflation has reduced their pay by 26.5 percent, or by more than $20,000, since their last raise, which came in 1988.

I Currently, SJC justices receive $90,400, Appeals Courts judges $83,708, and Trial Court judges $80,360, with the chief justices making about $3,000 more. in their appeal to Weld, the judges contend Massachusetts has let its judicial pay slide from first-tier status to that of a backwater state and may suffer a judicial disrobing as a result. 1 "Massachusetts already has lost and will continue to lose judges driven by personal economic needs to reenter the more lucrative private practice of law or to seek service in the more highly compensated federal judiciary," they warned. They added that eroded pay levels would also make it difficult to attract talented attorneys to the judicidary. "We urge you to address this problem immediately before our fears for the Massachusetts judicial system become reality," they concluded.

In addition to the seven members of the SJC, all 14 justices of the state Appeals Court and the eight chief justices of the state Trial Court signed the letter.

The problem with the crime bill, as some enlightened people have been trying to tell Congress and the president, is that it focuses on the results of not tackling the problems at their source. As government officials are stressing the need for more police and prisons, more community activists and social scientists are seeing the need for more programs that reach children at a very early age before they grow up with attitudes and values, or lack of them, that will land them in the hands of the police and later in jail.

In fact, if more attention was focused on how to raise children to be law-abiding citizens, the federal, state and local governments could save millions of dollars in taxpayers' money that is now being spent to contain burgeoning crime in our society. As more community activists who know and talk to teen-agers in the urban centers are urging, society must find a way to return to the basics of teaching young children ethics, morals, values and responsibilities and help them maintain these choices as they reach adulthood. After a recent talk with gang members and former gang members in Boston, a community activist noted that none of them talked about racism, the "system," or schools. The only thing they talked about was the fact that their fathers were not around. Many of these children feel they have to learn about life, and survive on their own.

And many decide that the only option for them is to sell drugs, orguns, or both, to buy their clothes, their cars, and pay their rent Some of them get caught and end up in jail. As more get caught, more jails are built at the expense of taxpayers. Many critics are saying this punitive approach to such local problems is the most costly, and most ineffective approach. As one community activist familiar with the court system pointed out, a few young children who have been arrested may have required the services of social workers, probation officers, other court-related peisonnel before being incarcerated in jails built to accomodate more offenders who are like them. In essence, more and more taxpayers' money is being poured into the wrong end of the problem when teen-agers, lacking the right values, have already developed the attitudes that lead to these arrests.

More national and local activists now appear to be calling for a return to the roots of family upbringing. And there appears to be an increasing call for religious leaders to open their church doors to families that do not and often don't know how to properly raise their children. They know the federal and state governments, with their limited social service programs, cannot handle the overload of needy children and families. While much government attention is being focused on dealing with young children who have already developed the attitudes that contribute to teen-age pregnancy, teen-age violence, and teenage incarceration, there is growing community support to reach these youths before their views and attitudes about life have hardened. On a national level, there is a realization among nationally known African-Americans to hold a meeting on urban violence that focuses on prevention at an early age.

Onlocal levels, such as in Boston, there is a need for a summit on urban crime. By bringing the religious, political, educational, law enforcement and other elements of various communities together, there may be an opportunity to determine the most effective, as well as the least costly, approach to saving a generation of youths and raising children who will be crime-free, drug-free, and prison-free. It's time, for example, for Boston's urban religious community to come together. Ministers and preachers need to decide how they can pool their resources, and utilize other resources, in a major effort to turn today's teen-agers around and help tomorrow's children become responsible adults. It's time, then, for local communities to return to their roots a fresh new approach with old-fashioned ideals.

ft A A note dropped from the window of a Roslindale apartment yesterday proved to be a cry for. help from a teen-age girl whose mother, police said, had chained her to a radiator inside their apartment Jeannie Malone, 15, had been chained to the radiator for close to two hours before police arrived, according to Thomas Santry, a police spokesman. Also found in the second-floor apartment were the girl's younger brother and sister; Elina Juan, 3, and Eric, 13. Police said Jeannie was chained by the waist to a bedroom radiator. The chain was secured by a padlock.

When police arrived, Eric Malone answered the door and told them his sister was locked in the bedroom, according to police. She was found sitting on a nightstand next to the bed in the room. Lucille Malone, 37, and her boyfriend, Desiderio Galan, 67, returned home minutes after police arrived at the apartment. The mother unlocked the padlock, releasing the girl, and police arrested the mother and Galan. Lucille Malone was held without bail last night at the Nashua Street Jail.

Galan was held in lieu of bail. They will be arraigned Monday in West Roxbury District Court on charges of family abuse and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, Santry said. Lucille Malone said she chained her daughter to the radiator because she was threatening to run away from home, according to police.

She had rubbed some type of hand lotion around the area of the chain, trying to slip out of it, according to Santry. The boy and two girls were taken to Children's Hospital and were found to be uninjured, police said. Malone had apparently written a note and dropped it from the window of the Archdale Road housing complex, Santry said. The note read: "Get someone up here. Emergency," according to Santry.

A friend passing below the window found the note and brought it to her father, a Boston Housing Authority employee. The friend's father contacted the building manager, who contacted Boston and Housing Authority police, Santry said, adding that both responded at about 4:40 p.m. "This was a situation where all agencies involved responded quickly," Santry said. "Unfortunately, you never know that someone would actually do something like chain their child to a radiator."

"I understood very well that you don't go on in math unless you devote yourself 100 percent to it" she said.

When push comes to shove, many of even the most talented female students veer away from that total commitment to a profession that tends to be solitary, almost cloistered and so male-dominated that only about 10 percent of tenured PhDs are women, says Susan Friedlander, a visiting math professor at Brown University. Friedlander is the organizer of "A Celebration of Women in Mathematics," an unusual symposium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this weekend featuring Birman and eight other top women mathematicians. It's unusual because not only does it honor the contributions of women in math research, but it inevitably draws atten-) MATH, Page 24 according to Naval historians, never relinquishes ownership of its property unless it is by an act of Congress. The Navy is not happy with the quality of the museum's salvage job.

"If the Navy can't muster the courage to put its foot down when a case of unauthorized salvage is this clear, then how are we going to protect the wrecks of 1,000 ships and 5,000 aircraft within reach of the diving community? said William Dudley, AIRPLANE, Page 24 In one camp is the fledgling Quonset Air Museum of North Kingstown, R.I., which salvaged the wreck of Frankwitz's Hellcat last December in just 20 feet of water. A helicopter spotted it in August during a security sweep of the area prior to President Clinton's vacation. The airplane the teeth of American aircraft carrier air wings 50 years ago is an F6-5, a rare version of the Grumman-made fighter with additional windows behind the cockpit The Quonset Air Museum hopes to someday bring the airplane back to exhibit condition.

Frankwitz bailed out, but drowned. The Hellcat, however, came to life with a roar yesterday in US District Court in Providence as the Navy and a private museum engaged in a custody battle that could squeeze the relative freedom with which dozens of private marine salvage organizations repair, collect and trade historic artifacts..
