That's substantially under last year's total of 1,380.

In 1966, 333 men were drafted in one month alone. tions of Selective Service rules-failure to report a change of status, such as marriage, failure to report for physical examinations or others. Although it was rumored President Johnson signed the new draft bill June 30 that 19-year-olds would be called up first under the bill, that provision was not included in the final law. Instead, President Johnson, Who are the men who were drafted? In almost all cases, those drafted were single men or men married after Aug. 26, 1965, who were not students or fathers.

"After a man's 26th birthday, we draft him only if he is delinquent," said Mrs. Mary Stutch-bury, chief clerk of the county's four draft boards. That term refers to any of several viola by executive order, included standby authority to call the younger men but it was made clear the authority would not be invoked this year. Mrs. Stutchbury said the boards are continuing to draft "from the top" 25-year-oids first, then down to the 19-year-olds at the bottom.

However, here and nationally, men in the 20-to-21 age bracket are prime targets for the draft, because the older age groups have been all but depleted. This year, fewer college students have been drafted, due to an emphasis in the new law on almost automatic deferments for students enrolled in undergraduate studies. The law provides for deferment upon the student's re quest, ending either when he completes his undergraduate training or when he reaches 24, whichever comes first. But after undergraduate years, a deferred man's name lands squarely at the top of the categories most likely to be called with almost no chance of more deferments for graduate studies.

Teachers were willing and often eager to try further desegregation programs, but many were discouraged because available materials were not enough to accomplish the program's goals. Elementary school teachers agreed that little can be done in segregated classrooms to make education more relevant, but Hapeman noted teachers showed "little sense of the possibilities for planning teaching activities to capitalize Please turn page Bus Strike?

This was a major finding of a 21-page report by Clement Hapeman, a consultant sociologist hired by the district in March to study the effects of the program on district students. It was released last night. The report, which has been distributed to Board of Education members, evaluates the program in which inner-city Negro children are bused to predominately white, middle class West Irondequoit schools.

Many district residents objected to the program at its outset. "Practically all teachers realize that the presence of transfer students had enhanced learning in a variety of ways," Hapeman concludes. The transfer program is in its third year. Hapeman, asisstant professor of sociology at Wilkes College in Wilkes-Barre, notes also that all elementary school teachers believe the exchange had "in no way been detrimental to the learning process." Other findings were: With one exception, there was no revision in teaching techniques or subject matter on the part of elementary teachers who had exchange students.

In 1966, the state legislature passed a law protecting the public from any obligation of returning or paying for any unsolicited merchandise sent through the mails.

As for Mr. Russell, our Better Business Bureau tells people who inquire that Mr. Russell is handicapped and used to be connected with veterans associations as a promoter of fund raising projects through solicitation via unordered merchandise. He does not live in St. Louis, but on the East coast and his business partner in the paraplegic tie solicitation business is one Bernard Gerchen.

Neither men have ever given the St. Louis BBB a report on the division of funds obtained through their solicitations. For example, they also solicit funds for a Hope School for the Blind in Ohio by sending a box of cards to you and asking that you return $1.25. Of that $1.25 the BBB says that only 15 cents finds its way to the school. HELP Action on Plea Q.

Nine weeks ago I sent to the Veterans Administration regional office in Buffalo a completed form requesting continuation of the benefits I had been receiving for the past two years under the War Orphans Act.

HELP! Victim of Fraud Q. In 1963, after finishing high school I went to work for the Rochester Supper Club. I was promised a salary of $50 a week and I was paid several times. They took out of my pay $137 for income tax which they never turned in.

It was quite a loss for me, since I would have gotten it back at the end of the year. Then they left town and promised me I would receive two weeks pay in the mail. But I never heard from them again. G.G., ROCHESTER A. This con game operation sold $5 diner's club ticket books, supposedly entitling the club member to a meal at any one of several restaurants here.

On arriving at the restaurant, ticket holders frequently discovered the restaurant had never heard of the supper club. HELP! is unable to get any of your money back for you.

But there seemed to be a bit of it-cautious and guarded, perhaps, but there.

The dispute between Rochester Transit Corp. and Division 282 of the Amalgamated Transit Union goes into the final three days of negotiations Monday. State mediator Milton M. Goldberg and federal mediator George O'Keefe have set the first session for 1 p.m. at the Sheraton Hotel.

Negotiations began more than three months ago, but the principals reportedly have not met since Nov. 5, when they were termed "far apart" by international union representative Joseph Fahey. Goldberg said yesterday in a telephone interview that a number of problems had been ironed out in earlier talks and negotiations are "down to hard core issues." "These can be resolved, if everyone is being realistic, in short order," he said. However, he declined to say whether he was optimistic. "It's too early to tell, and it isn't fair to either side or to the said.

John Gubiotti, head of the bus driver's union, also would not say whether he was optimistic. But he did accuse the company of intransigence, saying, "They're going to have to get off their hands sooner or later." Gubiotti said he thought "something" can come of next week's talks and a strike was by no means a certainty. RTC president William Lang was not available for comment. A woman who answered the phone at his home first said he wasn't in. When asked when he would be, she said he was there but was resting and under a doctor's orders not to talk about business.

Vice president and general manager Charles Whitten also was unavailable. He was reported to have "left home for the evening." No one has said publicly what any of the issues are, but drivers who now make $2.78 an hour, reportedly want a 20-cent-an-hour wage hike and fringe benefits. The company reportedly has offered 11 cents an hour and some benefits. The contract expired Oct. 31 but has been extended twice the last time because of a legal technicality.

The extension runs out at midnight Wednesday. 4 Drop To Safety From Fire Rochester's traditional day-after-Thanksgiving shopping spree yesterday gave every indication that this year's volume of Christmas sales will be the best ever. Store executives were rich with superlatives in describing the day: "Fabulous Beautiful Exceptional." Spokesmen for the "Big Four" i stores had these comments: Sibley, Lindsay Curr William E. Lee, president, "It looks very good. It began early in the morning and has held up throughout the day.

There is no question that the volume is over that of the same day last year and I think it is indicative of a new record Christmas season." McCurdy Pete Merrill, general merchandise manager, "It has en exceptionally good. Things look very favorable to us." B. Forman Charles Sen-heiser, advertising and publicity director, "It has been a fabulous day, it really has. It seems that people have lots of money to spend. Our volume has gone beyond our expectations and is much better than this day last year.

In some departments, notably coats and sporting goods, the volume has been very heavy." E. W. Edwards Son, Herbert Haenv general manager, "It looks like a beautiful day. It is a bigger day than a year ago and we are very pleased. All departments are sharing in the business but particularly heavy traffic was noted in the toy and Santaland departments." Store executives were quick to point to The Democrat and Chronicle's Thanksgiving Day paper (17 sections, 254 pages) as one of the prime factors in the day's hectic sales activity.

What merchants called "bright Friday," members of the Police Bureau were calling "black Friday" because it was their job to keep traffic moving.

Write if By TOM RYAN Thirty-five home owners in Brighton and Penfield awoke yesterday to find that someone had driven a car over their lawns, knocking down small trees, uprooting shrubbery and bushes and leaving deep ruts. The damage will run into thousands of dollars, investigators said, adding that it was probably the worst case of its type on record locally. About noon, following an investigation by sheriff's investigators and Brighton police, a 17-year-old youth was arrested and accused of the spree of vehicular vandalism. He was identified as James Heberle of 1615 Qualtrough Road, Penfield, and he was charged with two felonies, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief. Sheriff's Detective Nicholas DeRosa, Deputy Kenneth Stevens and Brighton Officer Theodore Parfitt made the arrest.

The investigators were continuing a probe into where young Heberle obtained the alcohol he told them he had drunk. DeRosa said the damage was done between 1 and 2 a.m. Mud was found caked under Heberle's 1966 sports car when he was arrested at his home, the detective added. DeRosa said Heberle's parents were shocked when told of the widespread damage charged to their son. The youth works at his father's stables and attends night school, investigators said.

He was arraigned before Brighton Peace Justice Thomas Hanna and committed to Monroe County Jail to await grand jury action.
