FAGE NEWS (PWW.J WfttnPsdfiy, NOV. 1M9 Central Charge Lack Of Cooperation Tor City Redevelopment WATER BUR Edward D. Borgin refused to appoint an administrative assistant to coordinate municipal redevelopment plans yesterday. He told a delegation from the Citizens for Greater Waterbury Committee that 'he could not 1m- me-diately give them an answer on the proposal to increase the Plan Commission budget. He refused to appoint the administrative assistant to work out of his office because he said that "I can see no logic to it." Last night R.

'Nelson Jolliffee. vice-president and secretary of IMPACT, R.I., said that one of the major obstacles to urban renewal in Waterbury is the "lack of cooperation from City Hall." He spoke before about 95 people at the fifth annual officers-directors dinner of the Water- burv Clearing House Association at rhe Waterbury Club. AvcollieHits (Continued from Page 1) First Telephone Exchange Is Featured In SNET Exhibition A colorful historical exhibit, featuring a life-size re-creation of the world's first commercial telephone exchange, was opened to the public yesterday in New Haven by The Southern New England Telephone Company. Representatives of Con- necticut's principal historical soci- ities joined company official at informal opening ceremonies. Among the honored guests was George A.

Coy of Milfprd. whose father George W. Coy was a partner in opening the world's first telephone exchange in New Haven on January 2S, 1878. Coy's, father invented the switchboard which connected 21 New Haven customers. He built it from teapot cover handles, wires from ladies' bustles and carriage bolts.

The partners began the'business with this crude switchboard and S600 in borrowed capital. A replica of the early switchboard is a highlight of the exhibit, along with the only known existing copy of the world's first telephone directory printed in New Haven on February 21, 1878. Japanese People Vote To Keep Close Ties With United States By PHIL DPI Foreign Editor As 'expected, but not without a twist of irony, the Japanese people have to retain their close ties with the United States. Irony, because all four of Japan's major political parties made foreign policy the- chief issue of the campaign. This policy has as its keystone the United States- Japan "mutual security treaty.

And it was this pact which led lo last spring's violent demonstrations which in turn led to cancellation of President Eisenhower's visit to Japan. Now the Japanese people have endorsed the pact and returned Premier Hayato Ikeda's Liberal- Democratic party to power with an -wen greater majority than before. It is good news for the United States, for without Japan its whole system of Pacific defenses would have to be revised. Notes of Warning There also were notes of warning, for the opposition Socialists gained 23 seats With a campaign which relied heavily on slogans and demanded neutrality and closer ties with Red China. The Communists running a full slate of parliamentary candidates went from one seat to three.

The neutrality issue has increased in direct proportion to the intensity of the arms race between the United States and Soviet Russia. It is a shuddering emotional withdrawal from the knowledge that inter-continental, nuclear tipped missiles can reach any place or any people on earth. Therefore, it is a tribute to the Japanese people, on the doorstep of Red China and Soviet Siberia, that they can reject it so overwhelmingly. There are, of course, other issues that may have weighed just as heavily with the Japanese peo- voters leaned naturally to Ike-da's Liberal-Democrats. Japan Prosperous Further aiding Ikeda's forces was Japan's current prosperity, and the promise of the Liberal- Democrats to double Japan's income in 10 years.

This was a campaign promise never clearly outlined. Presumably it would be achieved through expansion of Japanese foreign trade throughout Asia, and particularly with Red The Japanese expect the new U.S. Kennedy administration may lake a more flexible view toward Red China, and Ikeda himself is on record as saying Japan should trade with Red China "if it is profitable for us." Ikeda. now comfortably back in office with a good majority, is a blunt-spoken man who gained his early reputation as a financial expert. The Japanese voters decided he was the man who could keep them the crest of peace and prosperity.

This is an unmitigated falsehood, to put it mildly. "Aside from all of this buck passing, the Self Help group is ready, willing rind quite able to report on the exact status of their plans to date. Anyone who walks down Church Street can see that we have done more in four months than Redevelopment has done in four years.

Church-Water after conferences with members of the self- lielp group, plans, to be finalized for submission to the New York office, then returned to the borough for the same action as the first two. Citing the Androphy store as an example of what could be expected if the Church St.

group proceeded wich their refurbish- ng plans, the mayor noted that after remodeling, upon -the recommendation of the Redevelopment Agency, which 'had made no prior committment, the store was exempted from the R-ll project. Mr. Houlihan stated that this was a possibility with any of the other Church St. stores if they followed the statement ol "ntent as submitted in July. These matters are expected to be thrashed out at -the Dec.

6 meeting of the Borough Board, and following that the hope was expressed by the mayor that the complete redevelopment set-up would be ironed out by the first of the year. At the meeting last night, Albert Kievman, a leader of the self-help agreed that the Dec. 6 deadline for a final statement dence there of will the possibilities be parking. To. date there has been no action by the borough on this subject.

"I had hoped that the cooperation would move both ways with regards to the Self Help and the Redevelopment Agency. Apparently this is too much to hope for, because it is certainly unfair for Mr. Houlihan to sit in his office day after day, and never say a work to anyone about wanting to sit with Self Help, and then coming out and blaming this group of merchants for delaying Urban Renewal. At any rate we will once again take the initiative, and give Mr. Houlihan plenty to keep him busy."

Stating his reasons for ing an three projects to ibe considered together, Mayor Men- ga'cci said, "As it is now, taken by itself, I would not go along with the South Main St. project.

Houlihan replied that there were none, that much of the area was flood be used only for parking while the remainder would 'house commercial establishments. It was pointed out that the South Main St. land could be used only for parking or recreation purposes, and Mr. Rite asked if it might be a convenient parking spot for employes of the U. S.

Rubber Co. Footwear Plant. Frank Hayden, a member of Mr. Rice's group and president of Local 45, URW, said he did not think it would have much value for that purpose. a Mr.

Scully noted that at this stage two factors were working against redevelopment. The cost to the taxpayer, and the ever- present red tape and apparent lack of progress. Mayor Mengacci also pointed out 'that one of the prime needs of the South Church St. area is adequate parking facilities. These can be had by one of two means, he continued, through redevelopment or through a parking authority.

In early summer, the mavor appointed a Parking Authority Committee of the Borougti Board to study the possibilities of establishing such a group. This committee had yet to report back its findings.
