Citizenship Verified By THOM AKEMAN A 21-year-old Vietnam war veteran died in a porch swing at his grandmother's house yesterday, the apparent victim of a three-year struggle with drugs. Scott Fedyk died a quiet death at 358 Durnan St. less than two days after starting to substitute methadone for the heroin to which, he was ad-; dieted. He had been introduced to drugs at least the marijuana and LSD hallucinogens while serving as an Army supply clerk at Cam Rahn Fedyk started seeking help from the Army, two hospitals and a drug referral center, his stepmother said.

He was not satisfied with any of their treatments of "speed freaks," she said, and did not have the money to seek private treatment. The family was first aware of a heroin involvement, Fe-dyk's sister, Mrs. Wesley of 3 Bonesteel Circle, Greece, said, when Fedyk spent about $1,000 within a month of his 21st birthday in February. She said he started flirting with hallucinogens in Vietnam Landfill in Bay, South Vietnam, his family said. He somehow stumbled from there into the amphetamines known as speed and was given an undesirable discharge from the Army at Fort Knox, Ky.

nearly a year ago. Then he found heroin, a sister, Mrs. Cathy Wesley, said, spending as much as $1,000 on his habit in one month. Fedyk's addiction was forced on him, his widowed stepmother, Mrs. June H.

Fedyk, 169 Alcott Road, Greece, said last night. But a disgusted Vice Mayor William A. Legg, R-South, said that, in his 21 years as a councilman, he had never seen a single bond issue come before the council three times. Legg voted against the appropriation all three times yesterday, as did Councilmen Charles F. Crimi, D-Novth-west, and Michael W.

Roche, R-at large. Councilman John R. Parri-nello, R-at large, cast the deciding vote yesterday on the third ballot.

"There was just nothing to do in Cam Rahn Bay, she said. He told his sister, "I look for drugs because when I'm not on them I'm depressed and I can't live with myself." Then the heroin. And the lonely drifting, from a car wash job to a window washing company; from his mother's in Greece to his grandmother's in Rochester.

Handlcy said yesterday. He's vice president of the state's Environ-. mental Facilites which will operate the landfill. Hill had said the Emerson Street dump would be closed by July 24 because it would be filled to capacity then. He wasn't available for comment yesterday.

Keeping the Emerson Street dump "is the best alternative we have," Thomas T. Mooney, deputy city manager, said yesterday. "The July 24 deadline was given by Keefe a month and a half ago," he said. "It was a very realitic deadline at the time it was set." Handley said the corporation was told yesterday by the Department of Environmental Conservation that the Rush site "may be satisfactorily operated- for sanitary landfill purposes." The corporation can proceed immediately with construction of an access road and site preparation, hi said, and construction will begm the week of July 26. Local geologists and environmentalists have asserted that a landfill at the Rush site would pollute the nearby Genesee River.

The statement by the Department of Environmental Conservation, Handley said, supports his contention that the landfill will not pollute the environs "because they can't permit us to operate anything that isn't A-OK." Berton Mead, chief of solid waste engineering for the Department of Environmental Conservation, said, however, that the department's statement "is not a final approval of the Rush site," only an ad Deadline The city's Emerson Street dump will stay opon past the July 24 deadline that City Manager Kermit E. Hill had set for all dumping operations to cease. Raymond E. Keefe commissioner of public works, said yesterday he "had no choice" but to keep using the Emerson Street dump until a new landfill at Industry in the town of Rush is ready. The Rush landfill should be operating fully by nnd or late Q.

I'm having problems obtaining a certificate of derivative U. S. citizenship. 1 arrived in the U. S.

ROCHESTER A. You now have your certificate HELP went first to the Monroe County Clerk's office for information concerning your father's naturalization. From there your case was referred to the Federal Immigration and Naturalization Office which IlELPIed you complete the required paperwork and documentation for the certificate. Claim Paid in Full Q. Three youths throwing rocks from a railroad overpass on Interstate 490 hit my car three times and cracked the windshield.

I stopped the car, chased the youths and caught one of them who later indenti-ficd the other two. The parents of two of the youths reported the incident to their insurance company. Their insurance agent assured me the damage would be compensated. That was last October. I let the claim go for a month before again calling the agent.

He then had me get an estimate, which I did. for $174.50. Still, nothing has been done. I have called the agent several times, but never get results. Can you please KLEIN LOWELL, ALBION A.

HELP! tossed a stone of our own. The result was your claim paid in full. Airline Refunds $8 Q. I changed travel plans prjor to my return to Rochester from New York City. I had to pay an extra eight dollars, as first class was the only space available.

Just before boarding the flight, I discovered that my ticket had been lost and I had to purchase another one in order to make the flight. Now I find that the lost ticket application form, filed in Rochester, was prepared wrong. It shows the lost ticket as the one I turned in rather than the one that was actually lost. I've explained the problem to the airline twice, but the matter has not been corrected. I know it was my fault for losing the ticket, but it certainly appears I need HELP! in recovering the loss.

ROBERT A. CONOVER, ROCHESTER A. The. local ticket application was correctly prepared and you now have your refund from the airline in question. The airline did not issue you a new ticket.

They issued an eight dollar upgrading ticket, for iise with another airline's ticket, which you had purchased before your change in plans.

"I went all over for help for that boy when he was on speed," Mrs, Fedyk said, "and nobody would listen to me. "He said he wanted to go someplace where they were going to keep him so he could be taken care of," she said. "He didn't think he was strong enough to make it by himself.

But they wouldn't take care of him on speed, so he said, 'See, I've got to take Shortly after his discharge JOHN R. PARRINELLO switch decided issue Councilman Thomas R.

Fedyk had moved in with her and her mother two weeks ago, she said, so he could qualify for the two-week methadone withdrawal program at Rochester General Hospital. "You're hooked and then you're gone." Monroe County Medical Examiner Dr. John F.

Edland yesterday ruled Fedyk's death accidental and said that the cause of death was "Probably narcotism." mission that the site is "feasible." "They can't use the site until they receive the approval," he said. Mead said his department still is awaiting more detailed operational plans. The Environmental Facilities he said, could begin road construction and site preparation "if they are convinced they will ultimately get approval." Handley said he believes the Environmental Conservation Department's statement was a "go-ahead" to begin the landfill operation, though, ne said, the corporation will submit more detailed plans as it proceeds. Handley said he will met Monday with Keefe and city officials to discuss plans for city refuse disposal until the Rush site is ready. Keefe said the filled area of the Emerson Street dump has reached its boundaries, but "we'll be able to pile it up just a little more." "It won't be too dramatc if we only have to go for a month," he said.

Keefe said there is no time to make arrangements to use any existing dump for that month. Handley said it was unfortunate that development of the Rush site took so long, but, he said, the corporation had many dealys "in waiting to do this properly and completely legally." The Rush site, which is expected to handle Rochester's refuse for two years, is just west of the State Agricultural and Industrial School near the Genesee River. It was recommended that buses stop at four downtown Rochester locations: Midtown Plaza, Four Corners, Eastman, Kodak offices on State Street and at Kodak Park, Lake Avenue and Ridge Road. The park and ride plan was discussed yesterday afternoon by members of an operations committee of the Rochester-Genesee Regional Transportation Authority. The meeting was closed to the press and to authority staff members.

The secret committee recommendations on park and ride will be made public Tuesday after they are given to a meeting of the authority's board of directors. By GAIL MEADOWS In the third balloting yesterday, two Rochester city coun-cilmen switched sides and helped approve borrowing $460,000 for school renova-' tions. Critics of the city school board's request say that the money is needed only because of school reorganization and desegregation. But school officials contend that most of the renovations' would be necessary if reorgar-' ization weren't planned for September. The ordinance, which needed the support of six of the nine councilmen to pass, won bipartisan support in a 6 to 3 vote.

4 Hours By MARK STARR They looked like the extras from every movie Hollywood has ever made. But, somehow, Scottish bagpipes, American Revolutionary War patriots and Spanish cowboys all came together last night and had a good time marching through the streets of Rochester, in the annual state American Legion parade. Complemented by thousands of flags, about 14,000 men, women and children marched down East Avenue, Main Street East and Exchange Street past a reviewing stand to a well deserved rest. Judges hustled up and down Exchange Street during the four-hour parade, noting the minor flaws in the performances of the color guards, drill teams and drum and bugle corps. Their trained eyes caught the loose white belt hanging from the back of one girl's skirt that may have cost her color guard a prize.

If I may be permitted to judge, as a native of Boston, where a saint's birthday or a Ted Williams homer was justification for a parade, this was a good parade. But the crowd was disappointing. Police Lt. Armand Rahn, who headed the traffic detail, refused to estimate the crowd size but said it was "pretty sparse" all along the route. A second parade of police- men marched in to make overtime pay.

Rahn said about 60 policemen were called in on their day off and 40 others worked overtime from 6 p.m. until about 11, when the parade ended. Rahn said the traffic problems were "no worse than any Please turn page ance. Car-Bus Shuttle 3 Weeks Away? Finally Gets Return Q. I hope' you can HELP! me with a problem that has persisted for more than a year.

I ordered a sleeping bag from the Alaska Sleeping Bag Co. of Beaverton, Ore. in April 1970. They said it would arrive the following month. When it didn't come, I began writing letters and Alaska Sleeping Bag began setting new arrival dates October, December and finally, March.

Not wanting to wait any longer, I changed the order to another sleeping bag. That, plus a rain suit which I later ordered, has not yet arrived. If I can't have the merchandise without further delay, then I would like my money back. Can you D. PALMYRA A.

You've got your refund, but it was handled much like your order. Alaska Sleeping Bag Co. told HELP! on May 18 that a refund would arrive in 10 days. The refund, for $157.95, finally arrived 56 days and an additional HELP! inquiry later. Dresses Delivered Q.

I have not received an order of dresses that I requested last December from the Mail Order Mart in Brooklyn. The firm's only reply to my order and three subsequent letters has been the return of my canceled check. Can you MRS. M. OXFORD In your case, one HELP' letter equaled one completed order.

A park and ride bus plan for suburban commuters could be in operation within three weeks. Commuters would park their cars at shopping centers or large parking lots in the suburbs, then ride non-stop buses to downtown Rochester locations. The first parking sites expected to be used are at Suburban Plaza on East Henrietta Road and in the Star Market lot at Pittsford-Palmyra and Mosely roads in Perinton. Buses would leave those locations between 7:15 and 9 a.m., returning from downtown between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. Photo by Burr Lewis comfortable place to rest.

Ex-Teacher Killed Official: Jury A tired marcher kicked off ert P. Kennedy, who presided over the six-day trial, set sentencing for Aug. 27 and ordered a mental examination for Cerami before the sentencing date. Cerami, 47, of 34 Stonewall Court, Greece, had pleaded innocent by reason of insanity. He was accused of shooting Stanley J.

Bohrer, 57, of 157 Mulberry St. Mr. Bohrer supervised the indicted Cerami on the manslaughter charge May 22, 1970, while he was at Mattewan State Hospital, to which he had been committed by City Court. At his request, he was returned here for arraignment. Two psychiatrists associated with the County Health Board reported to the County Court April .1 that Cerami was mentally competent to stand trial.

Michael F. Cerami was convicted of first-degree manslaughter yesterday in the pistol slaying of a City School District official March 23, 1970, in a driveway at the Board of Education building. A County Court jury of nine men and three women returned a verdict of guilty about noon. The jury had begun deliberations about 11:30 a.m. Thursday.

Ontario County Judge Rob he had examined May 7, had a "substantial capacity to know and appreciate the consequences of his acts." But another psychiatrist, Dr. William Liberston, testified that Cerami was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and lacked the capacity to understand his acts fully. The defendant did not take the witness stand.
