He Kills Two, Wounds Bartender, Then Suicides Berserk Cop Turns Tavern into Death Scene Lu Ann Simms Gives Birth; Mate Dead NEW YORK (JPh-Television (singer Lu Ann Simms has given birth to a child. The singer's Dim View Of Survey, On Schools Educators' Reply To Lawrence Idea: The Same Problem HARRISBURG (Pennsylvania's education spokesmen today took a dim view of. what a proposed new statewide study of school problems will avail. In separate interviews, offi husband, Loring Buzzell, died last Oct. 20.

Doctors Hospital said today that the rhilH hnrn fhpro vctr. 3 .1 i people were talking about him behind his back. He said he was going to have to kill five people this week." Dotti leaves his widow, Jennie, 50, and four children aged 14 to 30. One daughter of the policeman told newsmen her father had been "a very sick man in the past few months." On Wednesday, she said, he had visited a physician and was given a prescription for a nervous condition. Dotti had promised his family he would see a psychiatrist but never got around to it.

Three days ago, Dotti suddenly applied for retirement. He had been on the force for 38 years, and his unmarred record included a commendation for arresting three suspicious men, two of them armed. In accordance with rules, Dotti surrendered his gun with his retirement application. Early Thursday he changed his mind, withdrew his retirement papers and retrieved his service revolver. Mrs.

Kenney, a switchboard operator at the nearby Board of Elections, had been separated from her husband for a number of years. Mega, who was childless, resided with his wife Sylvia, a teacher of handicapped children. NEW YORK (JP) A model policeman who recently became emotionally disturbed turned a lower Manhattan bar into a place of death yesterday. In a sudden burst of gunfire he killed a man and woman, wounded the bartender, and then killed himself. Dead were the police officer, Anthony Dotti, 55, who earlier had threatened to "kill five people this week;" Ann Kenney, 46, mother of two married children; and Dominick Mega, 48-year-old truck driver.

Wounded in the right leg and left hip was George Kruse, 49, the bartender. After shooting his victims, Dotti walked to an alcove in Dick's Bar and Grill near the Holland Tunnel on Sixth put bis service revolver to his head, and fired. It clicked but didn't fire. A witness said Dotti appeared puzzled, examined the 38-caliber gun, gun, raised the pistol to his head again, and fired a bullet into his brain. Kruse told authorities: "This guy had been going crazy for about a week." He had been in several times drinking and complaining that uay, anu me mouier were i.ue.

The hospital refused to reveal the sex of the child. Buzzell, a music publisher, died here of a heart attack at the age of 31. The couple married in 1954 when Miss Simms was a singer on the Arthur Godfrey show. She was fired by Godfrey in October, 1955, shortly after the birth of their first daughter. cials of the Pennsylvania State Education Association and the State School Directors' Association commented on the idea outlined by Gov.

"Study or no study, the fact Pointless Acts list Is Probably Endless By SAUL PETT NEF YORKUP) Have you ever noticed how often we human beings say and do things we don't really" want, need, mean or enjoy? r' I have in mind the act of compulsion, the uttered cliche, the compunction to fill a void that doesn't need filling, the pause that doesn't need refreshing. Think of all the little useless acts of human behavoir, of the cigarette you smoked purely out of habit, of the extra highball or coffee cup you drained without thinking or wanting. Is there anything on earth more useless than the man who asks when it's 110 in the shade, "Is it hot enough for you?" Every day, all over the world, millions of people get hair cuts but is it humanly possible to avoid the man who regards this as a miracle and must say, "See you got your ears lowered?" The list of pointless acts of human behavior is probably endless.

But can't we really do something about: The female dinner guest who can't wait to get home to her stomach pump but insists on saying, "You simply must give me that recipe." The two old college mates who couldn't stand each other back on the old campus but when they meet accidentally 15 years later insist on exchanging phone numbers and chanting, "We must get together." The mother who says automatically, "Be a good boy," whether the boy is too to solitary confinement, a monastery or a desert. The man who opens the restaurant menu and asks the waiter, "What's good here?" which is both insulting and naive. The driver who, when pulling away from a traffic light alongside another car, feels compelled to outrace the other jguy. And pretty soon we have a mobile battle of virility.
