Notebook Taxpayers ndt passing the buck Actress, pal criticized ead Of Household (Sm imtrurfiont on ptct 5) Number of other (Tependents (from line 7 Total exemptions claimed Tn i spouse died 19 to designate $1 of your taxes for this fund? does your spouse wish to designate Yes Yes No No Note: If you etitek tht "Vt" born) it will not incren your tai or reduo your refund. tive," said a spokesman for Block, the nationwide tax firm. "People just don't know what it's all about." In Rochester, the Block man said, about 30 to 40 per cent of its clients are giving an afformative response. Erb, at Erb's Tax Service, said he's getting about a 75 per cent favorable response, but he's quick to add that he's taking a lot of time to explain to his customers what it's all about.

"I would say that a good number of tax preparation people are not even mentioning the question," said Ray Van Zandt of Van Zandt Associates. "I cut them short if they start in on a 15-minute The Eastman A conversation with Freeman dissertation about Watergate." "I have a list of 108 questions that I ask people," said tax man Lustik. "But you waste more time on that one question The government is relying on tax practitioners to educate the public I have enough trouble making sure some of my clients sign their names right." "Right now," said Don Friga, a partner in Friga Tax Service, who says less than 10 per cent of his clients are going along with the campaign designation, "people are more concerned with what their rebate is going to be. That's what's on everybody's mind." The Internal Revenue Service acknowledges that making people understand the campaign designation has been a sticky problem. The first year, the IRS collected a dollar from only about 6 per cent of all those who filed nationwide.

Last year, said a spokesman in the Buffalo IRS office, the figure jumped to about 15 per cent. In the fund right now, the spokesman said, is (26 million with the collection of two more years to go before dispersal. School Today advantage of by being closely allignarf with the university. We're encouraging, for example, River Campus students to take advantage of the school here by coming to concerts or being involved in courses. On the other hand, we're encouraging our students to take advantage of what the university has to offer.

Q. Mr. Freeman, in your speech bv Toronto you said. "The U.S. thinks of the Eastman School as a conservatory." Freeman: Did I say the U.S.

thinks of it as a conservatory? I am sure I said something to the effect that some people think of it that way. Q. Anyway, you said, "Certainly the original triumvirate of American musical conservatories, Juilliard. Curtis and Eastman no longer exists as such." Do you think of the Eastman School as a conservatory? Freeman; No. I think of it as a music school.

In that sense, it has a curriculum very similar to other schools of music which are listed as close competitors. Indiana has a school of music. As a matter of fact, this is called the Eastman School of Music. That means something. It means, for example, that we have a distinguished library, a distinguished department of musicology, theory, composition, music education, humanities.

Those are all things which don't take place in a normal conservatory. They certainly don't take place at Curtis. (The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia.) Q. Was the Eastman School ever a conservatory? Freeman: No. It was always a school of music and that was always its titles wasn't it? (At a University of Rochester Faculty Senate meeting of Nov.

6, 1972, Chancellor W. Allen Wallis said, "There are a number of unique characteristics of the Eastman School. It is literally unique among university schools of music in the degree to which it is genuinely a conservatory, training people for the profession of music." (A month later, on Dec. 4, 1972, Wallis announced Freeman's appointment to the Faculty Senate.

An attempt, in other words, to diffuse the chances of corruption that exist with private financing and to assure at least a few coins for even the poorest of candidates. But too few people really understand that, say some local people who help taxpayers with their filing, and even when they do they often don't want to go along with it because the Watergate scandal has left such a bitter taste. "Let's face it," says Bill Erb, who runs Erb's Income Tax Service, "a lot of people are really turned off by politicians and just say no No way, I just Shirley Jones and 'James Olson contemporary brings to mind the Kennedy assassinations." Doing the "Partridge Family" was a lot of fun, Miss Jones said. Now she wants to try something that will give her a chance to be more creative. In her 20-year career, Miss Jones has played virtually every kind of role from the musical "Oklahoma!" to the tragic prostitute in "Elmer Gantry" which won jtfs Do you wish If joint return, don't want anything to do with those crooks.

They think they're giving a dollar to a partisan politician." What the presidential campaign designation actually does is release $1 of what the taxpayer owes to a special fund that will be dispersed for the first time in the 1976 election. It doesn't add a dollar to what the taxpayer owes, it doesn't subtract a dollar if the taxpayer has a refund coming. It's just permission to use the taxpayer's buck for an election campaign. And the money to be distributed among all presidential candidates according to a formula. "The first reaction is almost nega with The Family Nobody Wanted'.

People find out when they get to know me, I'm really an earthy person." By TOM GREEN Staff Writer All right. Now everybody turn to their 1974 U.S. Individual Income Tax Prom 1040 or the Short Form 1040A. Today's lecture will be on line 8, the Presidential Election Campaign Fund question. Is the designation of $1 for this fund something that consenting adults should do in a polite society? Well, Rochester has spoken.

No, says Rochester. "You want to know the truth?" asked Leonard Lustik, who runs the Leonard Lustik Tax Service, an income tax preparation firm in town. Unvarnished. "I have filed 208 forms to date and I've not had even one person ask for that designation. They don't even want to be bothered with the question Last year I can recollect maybe six.

And everyone of those was an argument." There evidently is a great deal of confusion abroad in the land about the campaign fund designation. It was conceived in 1972 in the spirit of moving the country toward public financing of at Television Shirley's keeping busy By BETTY UTTERBACK Television Editor The umteenth showing of "The Music Man" on local television recently was a pleasant nostalgia trip. And it probably prompted viewers to wonder what Shirley Jones is doing now that the "Partridge Family" is singing their songs in syndication. Well, she's doing a lot, including three upcoming television movies that take her through a wide range of roles a minister's wife, a compulsive gambler and a newspaper woman on the run for her life. In tonight's ABC movie, "The Family Nobody Wanted," at 8:30 p.m.

on Channels 13, 7 and 9, she played her first real-life role. It's the true story of Helen Doss and her minister husband who took in 12 racially mixed children shortly after World War II. Miss Jones also sounds like a woman who has her personal life on an even keel She keeps busy with her three children and she's dating again now that she and Jack Cassidy are getting a divorce, she said by telephone from her home in Beverly Hills. Jack has taken an apartment, she said, and they're still good friends who will always ha ve a feeling for each other. After 19 years of marriage, getting back to dating hasn't been a problem.

"For some reason, it's working out. I'm really having a good time," she said. "Maybe I'll come down to earth one of these days and it will be all over." Miss Jones said she's dating Marty Ingles, of the old "I'm Dickens, He's Fenster," series whom she describes as a "sweet, marvelous man." SHE has been choosy about her television movie roles and agreed she turns down a lot more offers than she accepts. She was interested in "The Family Nobody Wanted" because it is a warm, lovely story without being saccharine, she said. "There was a psychological interest the woman had a selfish motive in taking all those unwanted children," Miss Jones said.

"She had to boost her own ego. She had a lot of different drives. She put a strain on their marriage, almost literally to the breaking point." Apparantly the real Helen Doss, sitting on the set every day, didn't see that facet of the story. "She said she was pleased," Miss Jones said. "She said she felt like starting all over with the children we had playing those parts." In March, Miss Jones will portray a compulsive gambler in the NBC network movie, "Winner Take All." "That interested me because it's a subject that hasn't been touched on by television," Miss Jones said.

"They've done a lot on the problem of alcoholism. I think this brings out the fact that the problem of gambling can be just as serious." After that Miss Jones said she'd be making a two-hour movie, "Woman in Jeopardy." It will be movie producer Ross Hunter's first television production, a pilot for a series. "It's about a newspaper woman who becomes involved covering a political assassination," she said. "She ends up having to run for her life. It's very Authorities in Rome said yesterday they were investigating the circumstances surrounding the hospitalization of Parisian actress Maria Schneider and her American friend Joan Patrice Tawnsend.

The two shared a room at Rome's; saint Mary of Piety Psychiatric; House for three days, leading Biagio Pinto, undersecretary to the Health Ministry, to criticize what he said was a "disconcerting affair." Pinto said he deplored the fact that "two friends can live happily together at the expense of the nation." Miss Schneider and Miss Tawnsend left the hospital together yesterday for an unnamed private clime. Police took Miss Tawnsend, 28, of Los Angeles, to the hospital Friday after they said she caused an excitement by shouting and spraying dollar bills around Rome's international airport. Officials said Miss Schneider, who starred with Marlon Brando in the film "Last Tango in Paris," entered the hospital on her own request Saturday under a law granting everybody right to undergo psychiatric examination as an in-patient. Shirley MacLaine Doesn't need sex Actress Shirley Mat-Lair yesterday called the women's movement "foolish to be demanding equal right to participate in the same kind of contaminated values as men have," and asserted, "We should be working to change the values." When asked why her brother, actor Warren Beatty, is looked on as a sex symbol in films and she isn't, Miss MacLaine responded, "I think Warren really enjoys sex I like sex, but it wouldn't bother me if I went for long periods of time without it There are many things I really essentially need, and sex isn't one of them. I think it is with Warren." Friendly divorce It was a "very friendly" divorce, according to the attorney for Magda Gabor, the eldest of the famous sisters, who shed her sixth husband in state Supreme Court in New York.

Magda and Robert Heltai were married in 1972 and entered into a separation agreement a year later. Under New York State law either party could sue for a divorce a year after such an agreement. The lawyer, Nicholas Dotnan, who said the divorce as agreeable, said that Heltai had permitted Magda to obtain it No alimony was involved. Mills in hospital Wilbur Mills, has been readmitted to Bethesda Naval Hospital for further tests and his wife Polly has entered a private hospital for a physical examination and "minor a Mills aide said yesterday.

'Rhoda' honored Valerie Harper, star of the television series, "Rhoda," graciously accepted a bouquet of a dozen rhododendrons and the Harvard Hasty Pudding Club's 25th annual Woman of the Year Award. Miss Harper, accompanied by three bagpipe players and the Harvard band, paraded through Harvard Square in a 1948 Lincoln as thousands of people jammed the streets. Miss Harpe is the first television star to receive the Hasty Pudding Award. In accepting the club's "Pudding Pot," Miss Harper said she felt "very honored" because Harvard is "big stuff." From MC Stiff and Wires i This interview with Robert Freeman, the director of the Eastman School of Music, was conducted Feb.

3 in Freeman's office at the Eastman School of Music. Also present were Daniel Patry-lak, the Assistant Director for Academic Affairs, and Wendell Brase, the Assistant Director for Administrative Affairs. The interviewer was Democrat and Chronicle music critic Michael Walsh. The interview constitutes the final part of a series. Q.

Mr Freeman, in your speech to the trustees of the University of Rochester in Toronto in November, 1973, you said, 'There is a good deal of misunderstanding in some quarters about the relationship of the Eastman School of Music to the University of Rochester. Let me make it clear now, once and for all, at the beginning of my administration, that we are in fact the Eastman School of Music of the University, and are proud to be What did you mean? Freeman What I'm saying is that the relationship of the University of Rochester, to the Eastman School isn't any different now than it ever was. The founding of the Eastman School in 1921 made the University of Rochester a university in more than name, and it's always been that way. There are a lot of people out in the country who misunderstand that. It is one of the most distinguished parts of the university.

Q. Should it get special treatment? Freeman: George Eastman gave it special treatment by a special endowment as he specially endowed the medical school, rather more generously. Q. Mr. Patrylak, did you want to say anything about that? You've been here for some time.

Has the relationship changed at all from the time you first came here? Patrylak: I guess I don't think the relationship has changed as much as the implementation of the day-by-day operation has, by mutual agreement, become more close. There have been many things we've been able to take aware of the lack of nutrients in refined flour and the value of whole grains, I started experimenting and substituting for some of the white flour with wholewheat, rye, oats, etc." she said. "The lightness of bread depends not only on the leavening, but also on the level of gluten in the flour," she said. "Wholewheat flour contains the most and so can be used in fairly large quantities, but soy flour has none and it also causes the bread to brown more quickly during baking, so I recommend using it sparingly. I also find rye flour needs special handling so I advise using only small amounts, unless you enjoy a heavy bread," she said.

Please turn to page 4C By JACKIE REDRUPP Food Writer Looking for some good news amidst the outsized waves of bad news about food prices and the nutritional value of manufactured foods? Mary Hagan of Pittsford has it. She has found that baking your own bread, even when using the more expensive whole grain flours, costs only about half as much as its store-bought equivalent. "Plus I feel that every time I see my family consume a loaf of my bread they are eating something really worthwhile, not just mouthfuls of empty calories," she said.

However, she realizes that for many homemakers baking a good loaf of bread is like the impossible dream. "I've always loved to bake bread, but up until about ten years ago I experienced failure after failure, even with plain old white bread," said Mrs. Hagan. "Then I discovered the elderly neighbor I lived next door to at that time was quite an expert at baking bread She took pity on me and shared what she felt were the secrets to producing a successful loaf of bread." Mrs. Hagan's biggest error, her neighbor said, was her method of adding large quantities of flour all at one time to her yeast mixture, and she needed to improve on the kneading process.

Mrs. Hagan conquered the art and since then has supplied almost all her family's bread, which, as she has nine children, is a considerable achievement. "FOR MANY years I simply used what I call my basic four plus four recipe (preparing an initial 'sponge' with four cups of liquid, four cups of flour and the yeast mixture). Then as I became more.
