and manage many facets of the county government under their direction." The proposed charter would establish the post of county administrator, to be hired by and responsible to the nine-member legislature. The affirmative votes of majorities in the city and in the areas outside the city are required for passage of the government reorganization plan. While at times he has prodded City Administrator Ira M. Gates in open meetings for detailed explanations of city activities or policies, Lullo on the personal level has praised Gates and his work. "I am adamantly opposed to a County Charter form of government that would put as much power in the hands of an administrator as the present proposal would," he said last' night.

He continued: "It is my understanding that the administrators proposed in this charter, would be stronger than the city administrator form of government that we have iri the City of Batavia. And all I can say to the voters of Genesee County is: If you want to continue to have a strong voice in your county government in the future, you should vote 'No' on the charter issue as presented." While it has been less noticeable in recent times, Lullo has stood strongly for council having the final say in actions of the Urban Renewal Agency, Valuable Muck Crates of onions stand in waterlogged Elba muck field, awaiting transport to storage for grading and bagging.

Goodell Imaginative Tells Percy atavians Claim Coverage Basis for Suit term in the house, and endorse the candidacy of Rockefeller and his running mates. "I sit alongside Barber in the Joint Economic Committee," said Percy.

"He is a dedicated, hard-working and knowledgeable congressman." Rockefeller he praised as "a great governor who deserves re-election by an overwhelming majority." Percy said he serves with Goodell on the Banking and Currency Committee soon to be renamed the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee and knows his colleague as innovative and creative." In Goodell's 22 months since his appointment to succeed the late Robert F. Kennedy, Percy said 44 bills have been sponsored or co-sponsored by the New Yorker "six years' work in less than two years." House Owner Has No Deed Q. The East Palmyra Christian School sold a house to a private individual when we got another house. The man who bought it from us a year and a half ago though, still doesn't have a deed for his purchase. He wants to sell a strip of lawn to his neighbor but he can't do this until he has a deed, and since it's legally in our name, we're still getting the bills for the house.

The lawyer drew up a deed but some of the board members he listed for our organization are no longer alive. The lawyer keeps promising to prepare another deed, but it never gets done. Can you WALTER VANDER BEEK, SECRETARY, E. PALMYRA CHRISTIAN SCHOOL A. The lawyer told us, naturally that some legal technicalities were temporarily delaying things.

But those got ironed out quickly after we talked with him, and the correct deed has now been given to the man who bought the school's house a year and a half ago. Leaky Heater Replaced Q. This one is urgent. My water heater is leaking and it's impossible to get it serviced. I called one company, but they don't handle the Briggs hot water heater anymore.

Another company told me they'd require a copy of the 5-year guarantee, which my contractor never gave me. I've written to Briggs in Michigan to see what could be done, but I haven't gotten an answer yet. The guarantee is still on, so could you please HELP! me and fast J. W. WEBSTER A.

We contacted Briggs in Michigan and also the company's subsidiary Republic Heater Company in Pa. They were most cooperative when we explained your problem. The same day we talked with them, they got in touch with you to tell you the names of two dealers in town who could replace the heater with the factory's compliments. "Fantastic," you told us, after the new heater was installed. $1,700 Claim Paid Q.

My folks don't have a HELP! column in their part of Massachusetts, so we'll ask you! My parents moved in October of 1968 and two years later, a claim still hasn't been paid. And it's for $1700. Two Persian Lamb coats and an autumn haze stole were missing when the movers delivered the cartons. The furs were all insured, of course, but the Home Insurance Company of New-York City hasn't seen fit to pay the claim. My mother has been writing steadily for the past two years about this, but now she needs your HELP! Can you HELP! get this settled? HOWARD MARCUS, HENRIETTA A.

Easy. We contacted the insurance company's general manager down in New-City, and presto your mother received the full amount that the company could pay her. 3 Year Refund Wait Q. We still haven't gotten our gas tax refund from the middle of July, 1965, to the end of December 1966. All the forms were mailed to the Internal Revenue Service in Buffalo three years ago, and we passed the impatient stage long ago.

We thought we could solve the problem on our own after hearing nothing from the IRS, so we deducted the amount owed us from a Social Security payment. But IRS disallowed that, and we paid the entire amount. The IRS has been far less cooperative with us. How about some ANTHONY MARK, DANSVILLE A. More than three years is indeed a bit much.

We contacted the IRS in Buffalo, and you now have your refund plus interest on it. Order Finally Arrives Q. I was a secretary for the Grace Holmes Club of Ashton, R. and I was to receive about $114 worth of merchandise. I placed the order in May.

It didn't come. I called the company, which said they'd trace it and get back to me. They didn't get back. I called again a few weeks later and was promised back credits would be sent. But I haven't gotten them either.

Can you MRS. IRA BARNIIARDT, MT MORRIS A The company at our request, did do some checking. Result? You have your order.

Councilman-at-large Donald Lullo, who has been less than a friend of the administrator form of city government in Batavia, made public his view on the election day issue before the county's voters at the conclusion of last night's council meeting. "Over the past couple of months," Lullo began, "there has been quite a bit of publicity on the proposed County Charter.

Roy Dexheimer, superintendent of Batavia schools, asked whether Goodell's position, if he is elected, and his effectiveness may be impaired "if the (Nixon) administration continues with its extraordinary attitude" toward him." "Not at all," responded Percy, "and I fully expect him to win. It will not have any effect at all." Peter Rogers, a radio announcer, raised questions about Nixon's campaigning forays. Replied Percy, feigning a deep frown: "Well, I know President Kennedy and President Johnson and Franklin Roosevelt never campaigned." Laughter and applause interrupted him. Then, he continued: "(Nixon) is the leader of the party. We expect him to campaign." residences and commercial buildings in the immediate area.

One of two dozen of Good-ell's GOP colleagues campaigning across New York State for the Jamestown Republican's re-election next Tuesday, Percy stopped there to talk of his associate's record in the Senate and tell "what kind of man Charlie Goodell is." About 50 minutes behind schedule, Percy arrived at the Genesee County Airport by twin-engine plane from Niagara Falls.

He departed about an hour later for Jamestown, where Goodell's hometown friends were to tender him a testimonial dinner night. Percy sought to lay to rest Goodell's opponents' claims that the New Yorker is not a "good Republican." Goodell, declared Percy, is "a solid Republican." And come what may on Election Day, Republicans will be "arm in arm" after the voting is passed, he said. About 65 persons were on hand at GOP campaign headquarters on Main Street to meet the senator.

Percy devoted about 10 minutes to his talk, another 10 to answering questions.

The first, from a young man wearing a Goodell button and one with the name of Democratic Attorney General Candidate Adam Walinsky, dealt with conscientious objection and Goodell's stands before various audiences on American withdrawal from Vietnam.

They claim they are being "persecuted" by the townspeople of the small Orleans County town of Gaines, where they were arrested Oct. 17.
