December 2, 1985 Johnson Continued from BI As a result, Johnson faces Lynch, who received 47.65 percent of the bailots, in the city's Dec. 10 runoff election. "This is my second time through here," Johnson said as his pace slowed along the steepening grade. "But I'm trying to catch people that weren't home the first The El Domingo Precinct is typical of the 3rd District. From the steps of fashionable homes built on a hillside, Johnson will walk two blocks to a home where derelict cars peep through a broken-down wooden fence around the back yard.

"I see this situation a lot," he said. "I would work for increased zoning enforcement. People who take care of their property shouldn't be subjected to this. Johnson, owner and president of Johnson Construction believes that by walking the district, he can win it. If he does, he says he will relinquish his post with his firm and live off the $18,000 salary the council seat pays annually.

A banner draped across a wall in his campaign headquarters says that he will need 300 volunteers on election day to get out the vote. Sixty of the slots have been filled Lynch Continued from B1 for teachers and staff members to whom she could make an appeal. Lynch, 43, literally has taken her campaign to the streets in the remaining days before the election. At least four hours each day are devoted to door-to-door campaigning, usually teaming up with one or more volunteers. "On weekends, we have teams of people and blitz an entire precinct," she said as she clutched a clipboard and the campaign fliers she would leave in doors where no one answered.

She also carried a computerized printout listing the names of residents in the precinct, their addresses, their political-party affiliations and whether or not they voted in the primary election. She had outpolled Johnson, a Democrat, in the predominately Republican Sunny High Precinct in the primary, but not by much. The precinct traditionally has produced Obituaries Obituaries published by The Ar zona Republic in its news columns are provided free of charge as a public service. Parties desiring specifically worded obituaries may place them through their mortuaries in the paid classified advertising section. BROSKA, James M.

on Nov. 15, a Friday. Johnson is 10-minutes late for an interview with a reporter and another of the daily walks with his wife through part of the 27-squaremile district. Johnson holds a computer printout listing the names, addresses and ZIP codes of residents in the precinct. He takes notes on the computerized list and says that it is part of one of his most effective campaign strategies.

Each night, Johnson says, he checks the names of the people with whom he has talked that day and sends them handwritten post cards thanking them for their time. That night, he would write Dick Balnis, who didn't hold back when Johnson asked him if there were any problems in the district he wanted to talk about. "Boy, do I have things to ask you," Balnis said when he opened his front door to find Johnson greeting him with a campaign flier. "How do you like the stray dogs running along the streets? "I called a guy at the city, and he said we don't have enough funds to pick them "It doesn't do much good now to run polls. You conduct polls to determine if you need to make a change in your strategy.

There's not enough time for that now." Lynch was challenged by Johnson recently to a series of debates, and she worries that debates take away time for campaigning. Lynch said that she would debate her opponent but that his proposal that they conduct debates on four consecutive days appeared to be unnecessary. The candidates debated twice in the primary paign. One of the issues in that carpaign was Johnson's endorsement by Mayor Terry Goddard, whose support for his fellow Democrat drew public complaints from Lynch that Goddard was injecting partisanship into the non-partisan city election. Lynch, however, has received the backing of Republican notables, including Sen.

Survivors include his wife, Margaret and sister, Vita Transu. Funeral services were held Saturday at Kubier A Apache Junction Mortuary Chapel. ALL EDITIONS B5 by members of his immediate. family and other relatives. His younger brother, John, was granted a leave from the Marines in Hawaii to help.

"This is the first time for (the relatives) to get into politics, ever," Paul Johnson said. "When it was so close on election night, it whetted their appetites. It's good to bring new people into the process." Except for Rick DeGraw, a hired hand who is managing the campaign, Johnson's 11 full-time staff members are relatives. Ten of them' are in their early to mid-20s. One is 19.

Johnson is 26. The walls also are lined with cardboard posters and the boards that prop them up. Campaign literature, junk food, telephones, a coffee maker and a computer clutter rows of tables.

Paperboard posters used by winning council members in the primary election were nailed to wooden stakes by a workman.

Their unfinished backs will be painted with Johnson slogans. Johnson won in 24 of the district's 40 precincts on Nov. 5, and Lynch was victorious in 16, includ- a high turnout among its 1,200 registered voters, and Lynch wanted to make sure nobody would forget the runoff. Marlene Terry, who lives in the 300 block of East Royal Palm Road, said she wouldn't forget. The two candidates appeared to share similar views on most of the major issues, she told Lynch, and the contest had boiled down to who was the most decisive on them.

"Unfortunately, many people are impressed with campaign posters and images," Terry said. "That seems to work well." Even though Lynch is accustomed to corporate-board rooms at Mountain Bell, where is the public-affairs director, she realizes that -district elections are won on the streets. She said she has not intensified her door-to-door efforts because of criticism that she had failed to work as hard as her opponent in the primary election. "There's really no way to assess that," she said. "I know he worked hard.

And I worked hard, and I'm continuing to work that way until election day.

Swindler Continued from B1 Phoenix from his part-time residence in Rockville, to stand trial. Law-enforcement authorities, including state Attorney General Bob Corbin, consider Dattilo's case to be a textbook example of how some criminals thwart the legal system by pleading a physical disability. In a Nov. 18 ruling, Noyes said, "The uncontradicted evidence i is that defendant (Dattilo) is temporarily incompetent to stand trial because of his heart condition." His ruling indefinitely postpones the trial until Dattilo undergoes heart surgery. Noyes said that if Dattilo is forced to stand trial now, "he would assuredly pose an extreme and expensive medical problem for the authorities of this state, a and one which could well result in the taxpayers of Arizona paying for Dattilo's heart surgery." Last week, Corbin said, "If that's what it takes to bring him to justice, we're willing to risk having to pay his medical bill." Dattilo's trial in Superior Court had been postponed seven times before Noyes postponed it indefinitely.

In May, Dattilo was admitted to a hospital in Dallas, and tests showed he has a diseased heart valve. Earlier this year, Dr. Thasana Nivatpumin of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles said that Dattilo should have open-heart surgery "without delay," according to William O. Bittman, Dattilo's attorney in Washington, D.C. That diagnosis was confirmed by V.H.

Vohra, a cardiology internist in Chicago, who is quoted in court records as saying he examined Dattilo on Oct. 25. Bittman, engaged by Dattilo after two previous lawyers quit, recently sought to dump Dattilo's case on grounds that his client is "mentally incompetent." Noyes denied that request. Court records disclose that in 1970, Dattilo failed in an attempt to use his bad heart to escape being tried on a federal charge of transportation of forged securities. After his conviction in Maryland, he served five years in the federal prison in Danbury, Conn.

Among Dattilo's reasons for not being able to come to Phoenix for Robert P. Sampson Robert P. Sampson, 69, a custodian for 8 printing shop, died Nov. 25, 1985, at his Phoenix residence. Mr.

Tuesday at his church, 1954 N. 24th St. trial is that he has been too ill to fly. But Dan Bultman, an attorney general's agent, said in an investigative report filed in court records that Dattilo has made frequent flights between his residences in Glendale, and Maryland during the past year. Telephone calls to a mobile phone in Dattilo's car and to his apartment in Maryland were not answered.

Dattilo's claim of heart trouble goes back many years and has been used as a defense in previous attempts to avoid prosecution or answer creditors' lawsuits. For instance, a Maricopa County Superior Court motion dated July 14, 1976, by Dattilo's the Darrell F. Smith, a former Arizona attorney general, asked that his client's trial be postponed because the "defendant is in the coronarycare unit of a hospital in Annapolis, and will not be available." In that case, later prosecuted by the current county attorney, Tom Collins, Dattilo eventually was convicted of a $10,000 investment swindle. After serving about a year of a 10-year sentence, his conviction was reversed on appeal in 1978. The charge was dismissed, and Dattilo was not retried.

In his report involving the current indictment, Bultman said that Dattilo had designed checks printed for his company, World Wide: Money Order, to resemble money orders, which are accepted without much question. "In the opinion of various bank officers, a pattern developed in which defendant (Dattilo) would issue the purported money orders on the East Coast and then attempt "to cover the check in Arizona before it was presented," Bultman said. "Had any of these banks granted immediate credit on the 'money orders' when presented, they would have been exposed to severe risk loss, given the large amounts of cash defendant was running through the accounts." Anticipating such a problem, the banks Dattilo's accounts, Bultman said. However, Western United Bank of Los Angeles lost $250,000 last year by honoring Dattilo's phony money orders, Bultman said. California authorities have not charged Dattilo in connection with that incident, he added.

Since Dattilo was indicted, people in five states have lost more than $1 million in Dattilo's business Alice Solferino Alice Solferino, 56, a homemaker, died Nov. 30, 1985, at Phoenix Baptist Hospital.

Box 33187, Phoenix 85067. 801-Funeral deals, according to Bultman's investigation. According to an lowa Securities Division complaint, Iowans lost about $370,000 last year by investing in one of Dattilo's companies that prints checks resembling money orders. Wisconsin authorities say Dattilo took their citizens for $270,000. Superior Court records do no disclose the status of those complaints.

Among the alleged victims are Otis Meyer and his wife, Delores, a former farm couple i in Maquoketa, Iowa. They said their life's savings was "totally depleted" after losing the $20,000 they invested last year in Commonwealth Funding of California, a firm incorporated by Dattilo in Saipan. In a telephone interview last week, Delores Meyer said the loss left the couple virtually destitute and that their mortgaged home was about to be repossessed. Their only income, she said, is her totally disabled husband's $400 monthly Social Security check. Assured by Dattilo's sales agent in lowa that their investment was secure, the couple planned to live off the income from the investment, she said.

They were to receive monthly payments from an 18 percent annual interest. "He (the agent) knew our situation," Meyer said. "I explained to him that we just couldn't afford to lose our money." Subsequently, she said, the agent was fined $5,000 by the Iowa attorney general's office and is back 'selling investments. No action was taken against Dattilo. While living in Phoenix during the 1970s, Dattilo briefly operated a gasoline station and a chine company.

A profile of Dattilo's criminal career was among those of scores of mob-linked criminals then operating in the state who were profiled in a special crime section published in 1978 by The Arizona Republic. "Dattilo, who has a lengthy record as a con man and securities violator, allegedly has even dipped into the merchandising of literary fraud," The Republic reported. "He claimed he once had an arrangement with author Clifford Irving to peddle Irving's hoax book, The Real Story of Howard Hughes, which contained accounts of interviews that never took According to court files, Dattilo's criminal record dates back to 1947 and includes arrests for armed robbery and convictions for receiving stolen goods and theft by false pretenses.
