Mrs. Peterson said they had the front porch light on at the time. When her husband went back out to clean up for the night, about five minutes later, he discovered the two-foot-tall cross. Mrs. Peterson said the cross, made of two-by-fours with a pointed end, was adorned with "KKK" in big letters and smaller words "get out" beneath it.

Mrs. Peterson said they are the only black family on the street of 20 homes, but said they "get along just fine with their neighbors." They have lived there five years. She said they've had past problems with vandalism and harassment, but wouldn't attribute them to racial motives. She said a Channel 13 television series last week about Klan activities in Rochester may have sparked the incident. "I think it has created some emotional reaction among people not sure it all has been good.

"It's just ironic that we had this special all week on the KKK and then we have this thing happen," Mrs. Peterson said. State troopers investigating the incident wouldn't comment last night.

Power was restored about 7:40 last night. Thompson Memorial Hospital went on emergency power only for critical sections, said nursing supervisor Virginia Rockwell. "All the air conditioning is off and it's getting pretty warm in here," she said early last night.

Mrs. Rockwell said such areas of the hospital such as records, storage and the kitchen were without power. Dinner had already been served to the hospital's 100 patients and the 120 residents of the nursing home when power was interrupted, she added. No surgery was scheduled at the time thunderstorms rolled over most of the nine-county Rochester area yesterday afternoon, pelting parts of Monroe County with hail up to three-quarters of an inch, the National Weather Service in Rochester reported. In Yates County the storm toppled a utility pole and transformer in the town of Benton, leaving many New York State Gas Electric customers temporarily without power.

"I believe that instead of litigating the problem, it can be resolved legislatively through the state Legislature" Javits said.

New York's senior senator said he.

The Cayugas last August reached a tentative negotiated agreement with both governments that would have given them 5,481 acres in Seneca County and an $8 million trust fund. In return, the Cayugas would give up their claim to 64,000 acres in Cayuga and Seneca counties. The agreement was thwarted in March when the House of Representatives re Technology.

Operators of steam-heated downtown buildings groaned. Steam rates had nearly doubled in five years. At the same time, the commission ordered to study the future of the system and report back to the commission by tomorrow. Since 1963, has lost 50 percent of its steam customers.

Last December, more than a third of the remaining 320 customers had talked to, about the possibility of converting to natural gas. As of Friday, had 295 steam customers. "The steam system seems to be in ever-increasing jeopardy," said the commission staff report pn steam rate increase. During the late 1960s and early 1970s many former steam customers left the downtown area, accounting for part of the drop. High rates are now driving downtown building operators off system.

And Japan has started developing such systems. In a district heating system, steam or hot water is shared by many buildings through interlocking pipes. District heating works economically when the steam or hot water is a byproduct of say, electric generation or some manufacturing process. In some cities, steam or hot water is heated in a plant that burns city But the United States is having trouble catching the wave of the future.

According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, less than 1 percent of heat demand here is supplied by district heat. And that heat comes "primarily from old steam systems, built early in the century, which are now marginally economic and often in disrepair."

Underground, a maze of pipes and valves supplies all downtown buildings with cheap heat: steam. Modern prototypes of such systems are at work today in Denmark, Sweden and Germany.

District heat systems provide 70 percent of Soviet urban heating.
