Provenzano ordered that it was a violation of constitutional rights to hold women in 37 square feet cells facing each other closed off from windows, when men inmates are held in 48 square feet cells, with windows visible. He prohibited the county from keeping women inmates longer than Provenzano threw out charges that jail's visiting hours, disciplinary methods, restrictions on mail and telephone use, limited recreation and lack of rehabilitation programs for unsentenced women violated the federal constitutional rights of the women inmates.

Humid. Sultry. And any other unpleasant adjective you can come up with. The temperature will be in' the 80s, and the humidity in the 60s or 70s per cent that is. Bob Drummond, meteorologist with the National Weather Service at the Rochester-Monroe County Airport, said any humidity level higher than 60 per cent is uncomfortable.

Last night, he said, humidity was 68 per cent and his papers were so "wet" he could barely read them. To make matters worse, the weather service also is predicting a few showers and thunderstorms possibly with heavy rain. The. weather service issued a flash flood watch for today for Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Allegany and the central Southern Tier counties.

By MARYANNE GALLAGHER The four Rochester school board members who cut million from the budget Thursday tried unsuccessfully yesterday to get financial aid guarantees so they can put the money back. After meeting for three hours with various state and local politicians, the board members said they aren't willing to change their votes yet. "If I could get assurances from City Council that they would back that money, I will change my vote," board member Elizabeth Farley said. Mrs.

Farley, who changed her mind at the last minute to push the cuts through Thursday, said the politicians seem to be confident the money is coming. "But they still aren't willing to back it up," she said. The State Legislature failed to approve the municipal overburden aid bill, which the school district was counting on to pay for $2.2 million in staff and programs. Three members of the board wanted to trust the word of State Legislative leaders that the money would be approved early next year. But the other four, a majority, weren't willing to accept the conditional assurances they got from State Senate majority leader Warren Anderson, and thereby take complete responsibility for any deficit a condition required by City Council.

Mrs. Farley, Louis D'Angelo, Frank Ciaccia and Brenda Fraser voted to make the cuts. "It's not up to us to trust the State Legislature," Mrs. Fraser said. "We've been getting assurances but nobody has said 'I guarantee you the However, she said she believes the money will be approved.

"We just can't bear the burden if the money doesn't come," she said. "If all these people are so sure it's coming, then let them back it up." -None of the board members who met with Rochester Mayor Thomas P. Ryan Jr. and State Sen. John Perry yesterday would say exactly what they are looking for to "back it up." However, they indicated they want the city government to allow the school district to borrow or to provide other money if the overburden aid doesn't come.

"Ultimately our problem will be with City Council," D'Angelo said. "The greater degree of certainty has to come from City Council. They should provide us with adequate safeguards. Are they willing to see the elimination of a school system in Rochester?" Ryan had said in a letter to board president Gary Smith that the district would be allowed to use the overburden aid as if it had been approved. However, City Council would not approve borrowing, nor make other revenue available, if the aid failed to pass.

In the last 2' years, four electrical fires that knocked out power have broken out in local UDC projects. The most recent fire occurred Jan. 21, 1977 at the 14-story Riverview Manor apartments in Charlotte. Executive vice president Robert Dormer said the new hook-ups will allow a portable emergency generator to be plugged in and provide exit lighting and elevator service in case the building's main power is knocked out.

The generator would be operated by the city fire department. Turn to Page 2B By JACKIE FARNAN The Human Torch. Wearing a special suit and climbing 50 feet into the air in complete darkness, he sets his suit ablaze and dives into an 8-foot-deep tank. He's billed as Oscar's partner. Oscar is an Acapulco cliffdiver who dives 100 feet, unlit.

The reason no name is given for the Human Torch is that there was some question about his being replaced. It's rumored during his last show, he missed the tank. Sensational! Daring! Breathtaking! Unequaled! is what the flyer says. Not bad for a county fair. Oscar and his friend, the Human Torch, are part of the Monroe County Fair, which opened yesterday at the fairgrounds at East Henrietta and Calkins roads.

Uchie are on trail in Monroe County Court on charges of conspiracy and arson in connection with the fire at Select Tire, 2100 Culver Road, Irondequoit. Three reputed Mafia figures are scheduled to be tried next month on the same charges. Nalore testified that he knew none of the organized crime figures who have been linked by Monachino's testimony to the fire, except for Joseph "Spike" Lanovara. Nalore said he was a neighbor of Lanovara and had done business with him when Nalore owned a gas station Ex-fire chief, family testify When arson plotted, 'Nalore home' By SALLY BUCKLEY The former chief of the Rochester Fire Department testified yesterday that he was at home helping set up the family Christmas tree on the day that a police informer said he was planning the fire that burned down the Select Tire Co. Joseph J.

Nalore, 65, also testified that he never met the informer admitted former Mafia soldier Angelo Monachino. Monachino's testimony, which placed Nalore at the Select Tire Co. on Dec. 19, 1971 six days before it burned down was "a lie," Nalore said. Nalore's wife and daughter also took the witness stand to confirm Nalore's on Sunday, Dec.

19, 1971. Linda Christodaro, Nalore's daughter, said that every Sunday in 1971 she and her husband went to her parents' house to use the washing machine and Mrs. Christodaro said that on Dec. 19 she decorated the in the 1930s. Under cross examination by Assistant Dist.

Atty. Thomas VanStry-donck, Nalore said he visited Lan-ovara's home right after it burned down in April 1972. He said he went there at the suggestion of arson investigator John Chiavetta as they were driving back from the Rochester Fire Academy. After further questions from John Parrinello, Nalore's lawyer, Nalore said that when Chiavetta had asked him his opinion of the fire that burned Lanovara's house, he replied he thought it was arson. Nalore said he never tried to change the arson designation as a favor to Lanovara and that the fire always has been marked in the fire department's records as an arson.

VanStrydonck also asked Nalore several times whether he had ever interviewed or arrested Monachino in connection with any arsons. Turn to Page 2B i.
