fiQ ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE Thursday, August 1, 1968 Bus Firm Studying Service to New RIT tKiMmritSyti lit ft-' rv ft 1 1 VhM if if will increase from 45 runs daily to 70, and the opening of the new Frederick Douglass Junior high school will require another nine buses. RTS has been conducting an intensive hiring campaign to add 40 more drivers. Last week, Reading said he would seek to, hire an additional 40 drivers to cope with the heavy fall and winter load. In September, the first of 27 new buses ordered should be ar; riving. The number of buses, however, Reading added, is not The Rochester Transit System is considering establishing bus service from the city to the new Rochester Institute of Technology Henrietta campus.

James E. Reading, RTS resident manager, said yesterday that service to RIT for this fall is now under study. He added, though, that "it is only under study, because we are not sure we will have enough drivers to meet city school district needs." Reading said contract work for the school district this year critical to the need when school resumes. "There will be enough buses we're worrying about enough drivers." Meanwhile, the city's condemnation suit against the Rochester Transit is still in the pre-trial stages with both sides preparing their cases. Corporation Counsel Robert Feldman yesterday would not speculate on when the court procoeedings would begin.

Monday, the city filed a motion against RTC asking the court to direct the corporation to turn over all of its records, which have not been submitted to date. The records in question dealt with employment contracts between RTC and President William Lang, and Vice President Charles Whitten; Corporate stock books and stock transfer ledgers; corporate tax returns; labor relations files; and minutes of the corporation meetings. RTC asked for a protective order arguing that the records are not germane to the condemnation suit. The decision was adjourned until Monday. The next major date in the condemnation will be Sept.

Course Focused at Readers Zoning Plea Hit at Hearing Gunmen Sought in Shootup The front door flew open. Three armed youths appeared in the doorway and started blasting away. It wasn't prohibition time in Chicago.

It was 1:10 a.m. yesterday at the Wee Spot, a coffee house at 435 South Ave. Inside, the manager and four customers dived for cover. When the gunfire subsided find the gunmen had fled, one customer had been shot in the shoulder and another had heen nicked in the ankle with a "flying fragment." There were three bullet holes in the front door and many more in back walls of the restaurant. "It's a wonder someone didn't wind up seriously dead," was the way one investigator put it.

Police can only speculate on what prompted the shooting. There have been many instances of trouble at the Wee Spot, they said, and only the night before a man armed with a rifle had threatened the manager, Marion Maxwell, 21, of 229 Oak St. The rifleman screamed that he would close down the restaurant before he drove off, Maxwell told police. Maxwell was in the Wee Spot when the armed trio served up the lead poisoning early yesterday. So were Robert Cooke, 19, of Naples, who was staying at a motel here; Edward Cornwall, 32, of 175 Dartmouth Delores Lake, 31, of 63 Hamilton and Vernon Cannon, 16, whose address was reported, by police as 16 Wet-more St.

Cooke suffered the shoulder wound. He was released after treatment at Genesee Hospital. Cannon was struck on the ankle but was uninjured, according to the police report. The others had picked themselves up off the floor shaken but unhurt. They had hidden under tables and behind anything else that offered protection from the fusillade.

Police said the slugs appeared to be .32 and .38 caliber. A pedestrian passing by and a motorist told detectives they saw three Negro youths run from the Wee Spot doorway and flee through yards. They said they appeared to be in the 14-to-16-year age bracket and were wearing denims. Orie appeared to be carrying a rifle. When Margaret Swan of 337 Gregory the restaurant owner, arrived at the scene, police advised her to close up for Uie night for the protection of her employes and customers.

They said she did just that. TOM RYAN By MARGARET CONVERSE His teachers say he's bright and might even go to college, but after sight years of school Mike Brown had never read more than a paragraph with full comprehension. Yesterday he read Plato's "Death of Socrates" at 620 words a minute. Most people would read it at about 250 words a minute. Mike (not his real name) and about 40 other inner-city boys his age are taking a crash speed reading program as part of their summer school work at Mc Quaid Jesuit High School in Brighton.

About 125 other high-school-age students are taking similar courses at Immaculate Conception and St. Michaels Schools at the University of Rochester. "If we can make reading easier for these students, it will give them a liking for it," explained the Rev. Joseph Gersitz, S.J. principal at McQuaid.

"Schoolwork is largely reading, and a course like this will surely have effect on students' work in other classes." For Mike, reading is a big chore. He can't enjoy an adventure story because he can't understand the words, and Plato is just as easy for him to comprehend as James Bond. "But think about it a minute," said Richard Kramer, director of the -a 1 1 speed reading program, which is sponsored by the privately-owned National Reading Institute. "The best readers you know are fast, right? Reading for them is like thinking." A girl from Immaculate Conception, agonizing over a short article about Greek history, groaned, "How can I think about what I'm reading, and read it at the same time?" Kramer, a tall, curly-headed student taking the summer off from John Hopkins University, explained the problem to her in a friendly, big-brotherly manner. "You're reading out loud, first of all.

Your lips aren't moving, but you're reading each word separately. "That's normal most people do it, but it's not good. We're going to speed up your reading until you can't possibly sub-vocalize." The girl looked worried. "But if I read too fast, I can't understand." "At first you might not," Kramer said. "But we'll show you how to read in groups of ideas, not individual words.

You'll read sentences in pieces of five or six words, getting the idea behind them. You might take notes of some ideas as you go along, and gradually, you'll put things together." Most of the students in the speed-reading program have grown up in homes where books are not readily available and gone to schools where English class was rarely a fun experience. Reading is not a form of communication as far as they are concerned, it's a dreary puzzle. Kramer and his aides must convince the students that the words are really saying something to them thus the stress on ideas. Much of the class time, which ranges from three to four and a half hours a week, is devoted to discussion.

During a recent class at McuQaid, a group of twelve boys raced through eye-training exercises while Kramer and an aide squatted in front of each desk in turn, watching eye movements. The eye should bob a few times for each line, indicated that whole phrases, not individual words, are being read. Speed scores were placed beside each boy's name on a progress chart, and it was clear that competition for high scores is stiff. The highest were over 1000 wpm. Then the boys began reading the two-page story, "The Death of Socrates," by Plato.

Except for a tendency to pronounce the name of the venerable Greek as SCOK-ra-tees, followed by a giggle, they were serious about their work. ject, Fairways East. Opponents of the apartment project cited the existing number of private homes in the area and said they wanted to see continued the highest grade residential building. Mrs. Leon A.

Klehamer of 35 Riverview Drive said: "This is prime land; one of the most beautiful sections in Henrietta. I would like to see private homes with owners who will keep up the real beauty of the area." She said she thought apartments looked like "institutions." Melvin Schlessinger of 32 Ken-wick Drive, Democratic town leader, told the board his party opposed aparatments until a master plan including areas for apartments is approved. A number of residents said they opposed the project for the same reasons they stated two months ago, when two similar projects were turned down by the board. Three speakers argued the area could not handle an increased traffic burden. By DAVE CONCANNON Only one of several speakers was in favor of a proposed $6 million multiple-dwelling project presented to the Henrietta Zoning Board last night.

Stirling Brothers, of Henrietta requested a special permit and any variances needed to construct and operate a 418-unit apartment project. The development, called Fairways West, would be on 38.7 acres on the east side of East River Road south of 3940 East River Road. The area is currently zoned top-grade residential. Attorney John Buyck, representing Stirling Brothers, said there would be 316 tw-bedroom apartments, 80 one-bedroom apartments and 22 stuv'io apartments, with density of 10.9 units per acre. The project, if approved, would be completed in two years.

It would be directly opposite another Stirling Brothers pro Reserve Duty T. J. MANGANELLO City Sailor Killed in Two Youths Face Casualties Brina War Home Marijuana Counts ExPosion Terrence J. Manear Terrence J. Manganello, 21, The unit, headquartered at 964 Ridge Road E.

Agnes Busse, 62, of 127 Oakland St. Police said she was a driver involved in a two-car crash at Mt. Vernon Avenue and Caroline Street shortly after 7 p.m. July 22 and suffered severe chest injuries. She died at Highland Hospital at 11:15 p.m.

Tuesday. Investigators said her car and one driven by Albert Tanner, 17, of 222 Stutson St. crashed at the intersection. Her auto continued on and hit a house at 120 Caroline St. and the Tanner vehicle struck a tree.

Tanner was charged with fail- ing to obey a stop sign. Born in Mansfield, N.Y., Mrs. Busse came to Rochester 45 years ago. She had worked as a nurse's aide for Home and Family Service, for the last four years, caring for elderly persons. She was active in the Ladies Aid of St.

The parents were notified of his death Monday. The Navy reported that Manganello, a petty officer, third class, died as a result of injuries suffered when a steam line ruptured in a forward fireroom of the ship. The explosion occurred while the ship was lying in the harbor at Naples, Italy. Manganello, a native of El-kins, W. attended St.

Francis Xavier elementary school here and was graduated from McQuaid Jesuit High School in 1965. He went to Monroe Community College prior to enlisting in the service in March 1966.

Monday in Durand-Eastman Park on charges of being in the park after refusing to obey an officer's command, littering and possession of alcoholic beverages. Dolin pleaded guilty before City Court Judge Arthur B. Cur-ran to all four counts. Curran fined him $20 and ordered him to report at a.m. Aug.

3 and 10 and work until 4 p.m. each day on park cleanup duty. The judge warned Dolin that if he failed to comply he could face a 15-day penitentiary sentence, a $250 fine, or both. Johnson and Dolin will be arraigned in City Court today on charges of criminal possession of a dangerous drug. Judge Curran was ill yesterday and it was unknown last night whether he will be on the bench today when Dolin reappears in court.

Two youths, one of whom was just sentenced Monday to park cleanup duty after his arrest for rowdyism in Durand-Eastman Park, were arrested yesterday on marijuana possession charges. Joseph T. Dolin, 18, of 12 Laura St. and Timothy C. Johnson, 16, of Marion were nabbed on Scio Street by Detectives Joseph Conte and Donald Hartung.

The investigators said they spotted Dolin smoking what appeared to be a marijuana cigarette and Johnson sitting beside him. They reported seizing Dolin's cigarette and that they found one in Johnson's possession also. The suspected "reefers" were turned over to the Public Safety Laboratory for analysis. Conte and Hartung said they learned the youths had purchased four such cigarettes for $1 apiece the previous night.

It won citations for the best appearing department, best high school band under its sponsorship and best majorette. The Barnard Fire Department was judged to have the best women's auxiliary and the best fireman's band. The Holley Fire Department won second best band and second best colot guard honors. Kendall won first place for the best color guard. The Emerald Cadets of Rochester were cited as the best junior drum corps.

Dr. Wallace Font, deputy director of the county Health Department, yesterday warned parents to be "extremely cautious about letting small children use a new toy blowgun that propells tiny plastic darts." He said young children could easily misuse the gun so that the dart is inhaled into the lungs. Dr. Font said the county Health Department and the county Public Safety Laboratory have found the toy is being sold in the Rochester area. It is called the "Zulu Gun." Dr.

Font said Philadelphia health officials reported 13 children' there have been treated at hospitals after inhaling the darts. A department spokesman said that there had been "a couple of close calls here" but that hospitalization was not needed. Father Curran Says: 'Always a Place for Dissent' 111 JW MUri tvjl i 1 i fajfpa I an assess The city Planning Commission yesterday in closed-door session approved the early land acquisition proposal in the Upper Falls Urban Renewal Project. The commission acted in executive session after a public hearing at which only one person spoke. Under the early acquisition program, the.

city will begin buying about 11 acres of land in the urban renewal area before the entire project has been fully approved by federal, state and local authorties. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued the city a letter of consent for early land acquisition. Essentially, it means HUD will fund the land purchases after the project is finally approved. This device gives the municipality about a one-year jump in assembling land "packages" for ho i construction in an urban renewal area.

It eases the relocation program and allows a lead time for housing to be built by the time full-scale relocation of families gets under way. Also in executive session, the commission passed a resolution to support a change in the city master plan redesignating the 3rd Ward area around Leopold Street residential rather than industrial as it now is. The policy was made at the request of neighborhood groups in the area who said residents were having difficulty obtaining financing to repair and remodel their homes because of the industrial designation. By WILLIAM A. GARRETT Gannett News Service WASHINGTON A representative of the Catholic hierarchy here said yesterday "no immediate action" is Here's one 8-unit apartment in UR complex in Brighton.

UR Housing Near completion planned against the still-rising number of Catholic theologians i who have signed a I ,1 Jin statement holding that I the Pope's birth control 1 Father Curran argued there is "always a place for responsible dissent. Even Paul stood up to Peter and told him he did the wrong thing. Some papal teachings in the past have been wrong. There is need for dissent." The 34-year-old priest read the statement which then bore 87 signatures, at a meeting at Catholic University here at which it was applauded by some 1,000 listeners. The crowd overflowed the building in which the meeting was held.

Father Curran, son of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Curran of 443 Rocket Rochester, attended both St. Andrew's and St.

Bernard's Seminaries in that city and taught at St. Bernard's for four years. An official at the U.S. Catholic conference said the hierarchy was "trying to decide what to do. I hope the cardinal doesn't act." He referred to Patrick Cardinal O'Boyle, who as university chancellor dismissed Father Curran from the faculty last year, only to reinstate him later after student and faculty demonstrations in his support.

Father Curran is associate professor of theology at the Pontifical Institution. He was busy being interviewed on "Dutch television," it was reported, when Gannett News Service first sought him out yesterday. Liberal Dutch Catholics are among the strongest objectors to Pope Paul IV's reaffirmation of the church's traditional position against artificial contraception. The more than 130 Cp.holie theologians now arrayed against the encyclical have advised Catholic couples to let their consciences by their guide. encyclical need not be obeyed.

"Non one has really! thought about it, com- mentcd the Rev. will be eligible to live there. The complex will be named Whipple Park in honor of Dr. George H. Whipple, dean emeritus of the School of Medicine and Dentistry, and Mrs.

Whipple. Each building in the complex contains eight apartments or town houses. The buildings are of concrete block and brick con struction, with cedar shingles on the upper half. UR enrollment figures show that some 50 per cent of medical students are married and about 75 per cent of the interns and residents are married. Slightly lower percentages of graduate students on the River Campus and at the Eastman School of Music are married.

A 250-unit apartment complex for married graduate students at the University of Rochester is nearing completion. The complex is on 19 acres of a wooded, 90-acre plot on East River Road, Brighton near the UR's South Campus. All the units will be ready by September, a UR spokesman said.
