Under the OCR criterion, Cincinnati high schools with black enrollments ranging from 34.36-74.3(5 would be racially balanced. Only two of seven high schools this year-Aiken (53.82 black) and Wi-throw (68.62 black fall within that range.

Only one junior high school of 16-Peoples -meets the 31.53-71.53 test for junior high schools. It has a 40.18 black enrollment. Ten of 75 elementary schools have enrollments within the racially balanced range of 29.68 black. They are: Bramble (48.68 black), Children's House (41.92), Clifton (47.80), College Hill (51.12), Creative and Performing Arts (44.06O, Linwood (33.93), Pleasant Hill (65.98 Roselawn (44.18 Swifton (56.90), Washington Park (69.54) and Win ton Place (69.25 KERRY Kl.l'Ml'F. Enquirer Reporter Kacial balance among students as defined by a federal agency exists this year in only 13 of 98 regular Cincinnati public schools, an analysis of enrollment data shows.

Five years ago, 23 of 101 regular' schools had racially balanced enrollments under the same criterion. Similarly, the number of totally segregated schools- in which all children are the same race-has also dropped, a comparison of enrollment statistics from the current academic year and the 1970-71 term indicates. U. S. Office for Civil Rights (OCR) investigators classify a school as "racially balanced" if it has an enrollment of minority children within 20 above or below the minority enrollment for all schools with similar grades.

THE STANDARD is merely a statistical indicator of racial bal Imir have all-black enrollments Sands, South Avondale and Washburn. Five years ago, no secondary schools were totally segregated. This year, Sawyer Junior High Schooi has a 100 black enrollment. In 1970-71, 12 elementary schools (and no secondary schools) had all white enrollments Bracken Woods, Carson, Carthage, Cheviot. Cove-dale, Eastern Hills, Kilgour, Linwood, McKinley, Midway, Riverside-Harrison and Westwood.

This term, only three schools (all elementaries) have 100 white enrollmentsCarson, McKinley and Riverside-Harrison. Donald Waldrip, superintendent, said Thursday he prefers to look at the number of children "receiving integrated experiences" rather than the number of buildings which OCR standards class as racially balanced. He said principals are assigning children to classrooms in ways which reflect the racial makeup of an entire school. Home-Delivery Liquor Possible In Ohio? SlIG fi EST I () DEPARTMENT: The Ohio Department of Liquor might well review its policy of refusing home delivery so that Ohio residents can have the same convenience provided by Kentucky liquor outlets. A policy of delivering liquor to the home would greatly reduce the untaxed stuff that currently comes across the Ohio River.

It would also permit the liquor agents to spend their time investigating tavern violations instead of 64 26. The 15 of 76 schools o. iirtl met it were: Bund Hill (54 01 black). Bramble (31.04), Clifton (39.17). College Hill (31.23), Eastwood (41.56i North Fairmouht (46.43 Peaslee (59.85), Pleasant Hill, (36.53).

Roll Hill (52.11), Swifton (43.72), Vine (63.67), Washington (24.33). Washington Park (34.00), Webster (42.12) and Winton Place (42.09). The 1970-71 districtwide black enrollment was 45 of 83,342 students. While the number of racially balanced schools has declined in five years, so has the number of total segregated schools. IN 1970-71, nine elementary schools had all-black enrollments-Burton, Columbian, Evanston, Hays, Millvale, Rockdale, Sands, South Avondale and Washburn.

FRICKER SAID the Ohio Department of Personnel told him in 1973 that he could make promotions by merit.

He said the local chapter of the Civil Service Employees Association agreed "that's they way they wanted it done." "Civil Service law says you must test to make promotions whenever practicable." Stewart countered. "Many state and local agencies make promotions without exams, claiming the tests are not practicable. "But (former Sheriff Dan) Tehan gave promotional exams for 24 years," Stewart said. "Fricker's trying to cop out on practicability, but he can't make that" no money from the Teamsters Union."

Tonight Enquirer (Tom HubbardJ Photo mm Eastwood Development Renovation Planned By ROLF WIEGAND Enquirer Reporter An eight-year veteran of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department has been suspended for telling The Enquirer two other officers were disciplined after suing Sheriff Paul Fricker. The latest suspension was given to Deputy Chris Lindner, Who received a written reprimand and three days without pay Tuesday. FRICKER SAID Lindner was suspended for violating a regulation against making information about the department's activities available for publication without official sanction. Lindner had confirmed that Sgt.

Bernard Henke was relieved of his county SWAT team commandership and Lt. Arthur Schearer was given a five-day suspension after they' sued Fricker. "He had no business saying that," Fricker said angrily Thursday. "That is an administrative matter." Fricker denied the actions against Henke and Schearer had anything to do with the suit. Lindner, on the advice of his lawyer, had no comment about his suspension.

FRICKER SAID he does not know the status of the suit, filed in late September by six members of his department. The suit would require him to hold promotional exams for members of the Patrol Division of his department, something he has not done in the three years he has been sheriff. tenants would pay 25 of their monthly income for rent up to the full $280-and HUD would make up the difference.

Cost of this phase is estimated at $10.2 million, to be financed through Transamerican Mortgage Cincinnati.

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has been asked to insure the loan. Approval of the mortgage insurance and the rent subsidy program is expected in four to six weeks, Mayer said. Work on the first phase is expected to begin in early 1976, and be completed within a year, Mayer said. The second phase of the project calls for construction of a $3 million, 150-bed nursing home, Mayer said. The home is to be financed with a conventional loan, he said.

Court News Lawyer Doubts Client, Begs Off; Judge Denies A young lawyer who said he cannot properly defend his client was kept on the case in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Thursday although Judge Robert S.

Kraft advised the defendant that it would be his right during the trial to present witnesses or evidence his attorney advised against. Byron Gilbert Trapp, 17, 5339 Winneste Winton Terrace, was about to go on trial on charges of rape, aggravated robbery and felonious assault involving a North College Hill United Dairy Farmer store June 22 when his lawyer asked to be removed from the case. Information just given to him, attorney George Clark said, "means that I cannot represent him and present the defense he wants." Earlier Trapp, through Clark, had offered to plead to two of the three counts but Assistant Prosecutors William Whalen and Mary Jo Bruegge-man objected and Judge Kraft refused to accept the plea. Once the trial began, Whalen gave opening arguments for the prosecu- tion, charging that both Trapp and his codefendant, James C. Smith, 21, 5441 Winneste went into the store at 1912 W.

Galbraith Rd. about 11 p.m., waving guns. A male employee was pistol-whipped and a 20-year-old employee was raped by both Trapp and Smith, Whalen said. Smith's attorney, Henry Sheldon, and Clark both withheld their right to make opening arguments at that point but then Trapp insisted he was going to give his own. The night of the holdup-rape, "I was at home with my mother," Trapp said, noting she could prove it but he is reluctant to call her because she is ill.

Elmwood Place Officials Named In Suit i A suit was filed in Hamilton County Probate Court Thursday charging that Elmwood Place Mayor Emmitt Spears, Clerk Ray Baker and Treasurer Ray Spears violated village ordinances in paying employees wages they weren't entitled to receive.

The, suit, brought by Elmwood village attorney Arthur Freedman on behalf of five residents, said that checks were issued contrary to ordinances to three different employees in July.
