The statement indicated that "further action will be taken to gain the sympathy of county residents," pointed out that "over 15 per cent of the voters in Dutchess County are public employees" and maintained that "an absolute minimum of 50 per cent of the voters of Dutchess County support the Public Health nurses in their right to gain fair and just sal aries."

says It has stooned all advertlslnc that would stimulate demands for new phones, in the wake of a 200 per cent increase In complaints over three years, mainly be cause of overloaded facilities. William G.Sharwell. the com pany's vice president for operations, in disclosing the' advertis ing curtailment Thursday, said New York Telephone was pre pared to spend $10 billion over' the next 10 years to improve service. Sherwell testified to'the com pany's plans for Improving its equipment when he appeared at a state Public Service Commission hearing to consider the company's request for a $175 million rate Increase. The PSC simultaneously is probing the company's recent service difficulties in the New York City and 1,047 the previous1 year.

Sharweil testified that New York Telephone was completing new or expanded services every dicates that something must be day and that by the end of 1970 "An Increase of more than 200 per cent in a three year period in (downstate) complaints relat Ivwt ttija AAtnnfiif'a mU la 6 wv vvuiauj crct ur drastically wrong," said PSC Commissioner James L.

He disclosed last month that the PSC received 4,317 com plaints about downstate phone service in the first 200 days of this year, compared to 1,316 such complaints in all of 1968 he foresaw no requirements in excess of the company's capacity. "The company has suspended all advertising designed to stim ulate demands for its services," Sharweil said. This means the company is consumer protection services rather than selling telephones; he added.

Delayed dial tones, caused by overloaded switching facilities in central offices have prompted many of the customer com plaints in the last few months, Sharweil conceded. He said call handling capacity was being expanded in 59 per cent of the downstate central offices this year, and would reach 73 advertising Its information and, per cent by the end of 1970, B52s Continue Heavy Bombing Spackenkill (CONTINUfO PROM PAOI ONE) dents, who spoke previously, she declared, "Listen to these students. I don't think there is anything wrong in Poughkeep sie that human beings can't change." Kenneth Parker, son of the Rev. Richard S.

Kathy Will, who identified herself as a Poughkeepsle High School senior, claimed "going to Foughkeepsie made us grow intellectually by meeting differ ent kinds and levels of people." Speaking against "isolating ourselves," she said "when we went there (to Poughkeepsle) they thought of us as snobs I think their opinion of us has changed as us of them." But those speaking for the school referendum were just as vocal and about equally divided with he opposition of the approximately 175 persons that attended the hearing.

Board President Doublas Knight was adament in stating that "the size of the district and quality education is the is sue. "You make up your mind on the moral issues," he added.

Earlier Saslaw had claimed the state master plan calling for the merger was defended by the state because they felt was better." He said the master plan was developed in order to reduce the number of school districts in upper New York State "and the bureaucratic institution has become ossified in its opinion." Harry Cochrane, a Negro, said his two young sons would now be proud of him voting for a nign school in spackenkill "but later when they realize the issues, they'd say I was a Tom if I voted for it. "Students throughout the world ere speaking out against inequities," he added, "and they're disrespecting the sys tem which is us." The board president replied that to meet "the moral and so cial responsibilities we could do better as a strong, independ ent district ratner than as a diluted district." Noting that many Spackenkill students do well at Poughkeep sle High School, board spokes man Orville Todd said, "You may hang your hat on a good secondary program in this dis trict." No State Aid While the most heat genera ted at the two hour meeting was over the moral and social overtones of the move for independence, some spoke out against the lack of state aid available (or construction of the high school.

SAIGON (AP) The U.S. Command today reported only light scattered ground fighting in Vietnam, but American B52 bombers dropped 1,200 tons of bombs along the Cambodian border northwest of Saigon. The new raids came on the heels of a report from U.S. officials in Washington mat the Nixon administration is prepared to negotiate' an end to the B52 raids in South Vietnam if the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong de escalate the war. camps in an area three by seven miles located 100 miles north northeast of Saigon.

Part U.S. headquarters said eight waves of the big bombers attacked North Vietnamese base of the target was within a mile of the border. In the ground war, a Viet Cong force upset a U.S. Marine ambush early today, then attacked the patrol after it retreated, killing two Marines and wounding 11. Headquarters said, "Enemy losses are unknown at this time." The fight took place 26 miles south of Da Nang.

Alluding to the opposition, one man suggested to appiuase and laughter, that the district build a larger high school "and invite them to our school.

Corbetta said the trustees did not need to solicit architects for the project." He reported that 31 firms expressed an in terest and 25 were interviewed.

Six of these were local archi tects. The developer of Poughkeep sle Kiverview urban renewal project added: "None of the local architects. except Gulamerian, were informed, has ever designed com munity college facilities. None of the local architects has had any experience working throueh requirements and pro cedures, except Gulamerian. No architect anywhere has had the benefit of in depty discussion ana review with the faculty and SUNY as to the expansion pro gram, except uuiamerian.

"The number of regular employes of all the local archi tects combined appears to be about one half of the total staff existing in the White Plains of fice of Perkins and Will. "In view of the tremendous increase in costs of construc tion, me question or developing the greatest amount of structural utilization within the present bond issue is subject to study." Corbetta said 245,000 square feet of space are needed to properly accommodate 3,150 students. Conceivably, he re marked, this space could be contained in one high rise building or in a number of one story buildings. "To divide the responsibility for effectively developing this space is not in the best interests ot the taxpayer," he asserted. urbetta concluded: "The college trustees recom mend experience and acknowl edged expertise to save time in view of the continuing increased construction costs, which are spiraling at the rate of 15 per cent a year.

Three clergymen who live in the Spackenkill School District contend the district "is moving in precisely the wrong direc tion" in seeking to build its own high school. The statement was signed by the Rev. Johannes J. Meester, associate pastor of the Reform ed cnurcn, the itev.

What happens to Poughkeepsie will directly af fect us in the suburbs, Poughkeepsie has increasing difficulty in meeting urban educational needs we too will eventually share in paying for the consequences.

"Instead of expressing con cern only for our suburban ed ucational needs we should be preparing to share our leader ship and resources to neip meet the educational needs of the en tire area." The ministers pointed out that a presidential commission's re port on civil disorders warned the nation was moving toward two societies, one and one white. They asserted: "We see far too many fright ening signs that we in the Poughkeepsie area are rushing headlong toward tnat disaster.
