Jurisdiction tAulled In Liberal Purge Bid The campaign was charted; here yesterday at the coun cil's meeting, held in conjunction with the 57th Annual Health Conference at the Community War Memorial. State Sen. George R. Met-caff of Auburn, council chairman, was authorized to set up a committee to explore ways in which youth can be "sold" on accepting scientific evidence of a relationship between smoking and higher disease rates. The committee will include representatives of the State Health Department, the State Education Department, the State Charities Aid Association, and the New York State Division of the American Cancer Society.

Two Rochesterians Two Rochesterians are members of the council, Walter Wenkert, secretary of the Health Division of the Council of Social Agencies, and Dr. Hugh M. Averill, city dental health director and president of the Monroe County Dental Society. The decision to undertake the anti-smoking campaign followed several conferences which the council held on the subject earlier this year in Albany. The committee to be named by Met calf will, among other things, draft a nlan fnr assisting anH stimn.

Balk at Fluoridation Many communities in the state have balked at fluoridating public water supplies. Some began the program, then discontinued it. Roches- water supplies for 10 years The Monroe County Water Authority has yet to adopt the method. In a discussion, Dr.

Averill said that the number of children receiving the benefits of fluoridation has declined throughout the nation in the siding. Cargo was destined for Duplicating Products Co. of 460 Clinton Ave. S. Cause was undetermined.

Defense lawyers raised the question as to whether there was sufficient time between the serving of notices and the scheduled time for appearance in court.

Justice Brisco adjourned the case to consider the question. Eli C. Diamond, representative of the Liberal and Labor Committee to Safeguard the Liberal Party, is charging that 399 Monfoe County persons, enrolled in the party, are on the rolls only to gain support for Republican party candidates. A similar suit in 1957, in volving 135 persons, was set tied by compromise with 106 being stricken from the party's rolls. Hyman Bravin, a Bronx Diamond, a regional organizer for the party, goes on the payroll of the separate committee during intra-party battles.

He explained that the state law prohibits party! funds being used in battles' within the party. Diamond is charging that Republicans, enrolled in the Liberal party, manage to swing the party's nomination'61" has been fluoridating Clinton Aves. schedules in both types of traff.ic is unprecedented, Lang said. What's more buses traveled their single lanes "with the highest possible degree of safety." He mentioned one scrape of a turning bus against a wire fence. In the like period 13 days before the trial, buses were involved in five accidents, Lang reported.

Trial 'Too Short' Analysis of the 13-day experience yielded the conclusion that the period was too short and that Inner Loop construction around Central and Clinton avenues distorted the trial, he said. Southbound buses in St. Paul-South moved 7 per cent faster nevertheless and northbound buses in Clinton Avenue moved nearly 20 per cent faster. Other vehicles traveling in the opposite direction in Clinton moved 14 per cent faster, Lang declared. "The speed increases attest to the soundness of the experiment," Land said.

Turning to a Traffic Control Bureau proposal that buses travel in the same direction as other vehicles on one-way streets, Lang warned it would slash bus use by 25 Rocky to Hear Judgeship Factions Today BY PAT BRASLEY Democrat and Chronicle Political Writer NEW YORK Leaders of various factions in the 7th Judicial District squabble over new Supreme Court judgeships plan discuss the matter with Gov. Rockefeller here today. Scores of Republican leaders, legislators and state office holders from Monroe and Western New York coun ties are here for this after noon's session of the Republican State Committee and tonight's annual $100-a-plate GOP fund-raising dinner in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Monroe County GOP Chairman Gordon A. Howe expects to have a word with the governor on the judgeship subject sometime during the day.

He also will see State GOP Chairman L. Judson Mor-house on the matter. Howe drove here from Rochester yesterday. Assemblyman Kenneth R. Willard of Nunda, acting chairman of the Livingston County GOP Committee and a backer of Livingston County Judge George D.

Newton for one of the judicial appointments, also expects to see the governor today. Willard and State Committeeman John W. Kelley of Dansville have been promised an appointment with Rockefeller. The governor is expected to announce the apointments to three new judgeships in the eight-county 7th Judicial District about July 1. All three new judges will have to run in November for election to full 14-year terms.

One of the new judgeships is expected to go to Steuben County Judge Domenick L. Gabrielli of Bath and one to a Monroe County Republican. The third was believed scheduled for Austin W. Er-win Jr. of Geneseo, who had the support of his father, State Sen.

Austin W. Erwin. The Livingston County GOP Committee, however, backed Judge Newton. The dispute ingston County GOP Chair led to the resignation of Liv man J. Donald Root, who was backing Erwin.

Sen. Erwin is due to arrive here today and it is expected he will avail himself of the opportunity to press his son's candidacy with party leaders. Two GM Plants To Recall 100 Increased automobile and home appliance sales will boost employment by about 100 production workers at the two Rochester plants of Gen eral Motors manage ment spokesmen announced yesterday. Rochester Products Divi sion said it had begun calling back approximately 50 pro duction workers and Delco Appliance Division said it planned to call back about the same number within the next two weeks. Mattresses, Dozens of mattresses and a variety of furniture were destroyed in a fire yesterday which swept two floors of a house at 17 Union St.

N. used as a warehouse by the nearby Rubens Furniture Store, 292 East Ave. The blaze was discovered shortly after 4 p.m. and firemen still were at the scene at 8:30 last night wetting down the ruins. Cause of the fire is under investigation.

A damage estimate was not available immediately. Firemen Robert Nugent of Engine 17 suffered an injury to his right eye when struck in the face by a blast of water from a fire hose. He was reported in satisfactory condition later at Genesee Hospital where X-rays were being taken to determine the extent of the injury. Deputy Fire Chief Vincent Clinton and Battalion Chief Theodore Pulcino said the program must constantly be kept before the public if it is not to fall by the wayside. Virtually all the sessions at the Health Conference yesterday dealt in some way with the question of why people are generally lackadaisical about accepting scientific evidence which could improve or protect health.

Besides water fluoridation and evidence of a link between smoking and lung cancer, the reluctance of the public to seek polio vacine was cited. Some Disagreement Dr. Rene J. Dubbs, noted microbiologist of the Rockefeller Institute in New York City, told a general session in the morning that "democracy must learn to delegate authority" and accept decisions of experts in public health and medicine. There was some disagreement, however, with this point of view.

Dr. Marjorie A. Young of Harvard University School of Public Health said people in medicine and public health should make only decisions relating to the safety and effectiveness of new health programs. But the consumer must make the ultimate decision, she maintained, adding that new methods must be found for educating people to accept health programs. Greater Problems In a paper presented to the conference, Dr.

Dubos said modern man is facing far greater and more subtle health problems than those which he has encountered in the past. He said increased urbanization is changing man's natural environment and creating such 'problems as air pollution, with profound health effects. Many other effects of this new environment may not be detected for years to come, he added. At a noon luncheon, Dr. George Baehr of New York, chairman of the State Public Health Council, was presented the annual Hermann M.

Biggs Memorial Award of the New York State Public Health Association for "outstanding work in public health." that an honorable contract with Rochester Telephone Corp. had to be secured as quickly as possible. "It is hoped that the secret referendum now being conducted will be affirmative. If not, ways and means will be sought to find a satisfactory solution." John Rogers, Local 1170 president and leader of the local's delegation to Washington, could not be reached for comment on the meeting with international officials. The 1,100 maintenance workers have been on strike since May 5.

The main issue in the dispute is a company demand to require waiting periods before employes are eligible for sick pay. The union wants the old contract provision giving those with more than two years service sick pay from the first day of illness. 100 Get Briefing On Rochester Housing Survey About 100 persons last night were briefed on the survey of Rochester's housing which began yesterday. Earlier in the day the first group of 150 enumerators who were instructed Tuesday night by Manuel D. Goldman, Rochester Housing Authority chairman, began ringing doorbells at some 6,000 Another group of volunteers will be briefed tonight.

In all. about 300 census takers will take part in the survey. It is sponsored by the authority in cooperation with the State Division of Housing. Purpose is to help determine the city's future housing needs. Rochester Transit president said yesterday oneway traffic on two downtown thoroughfares should be reinstated.

The system was tried April 10-23 but discontinued because of Inner Loop construction and other difficulties. President William A. Lang in a letter to Public Safety Commissioner James F. Butler suggested a modification next year of the pattern tried in April. Not only buses, but trucks and passenger cars, should be allowed to move in a single lane in the opposite direction on a four-lane street, Lang said, ine streets in volved are South Avenue-St.

Paul, and Clinton Avenue North and South, both between Ward Street and Monroe Avenue. Copies of Lang's letter yere sent to city officials, department store executives and neighborhood merchants. Lang said during the experiment he dispatched RTC checkers and supervisors to clock bus performance. He found that "generally speaking, buses operating in both directions maintained schedules in peak as well as non-peak hours."

It would result, ho sd, "in a separate application for a fare increase over and above other economic considerations which make such increases necessary." In New York City, the Fifth Avenue Coach lines, recently cited the cost of one-way operations as a prime factor for a requested fare increase, the RTC president told Butler. Would Hurt Stores His study also showed that to let passengers off on nearby major thoroughfares, as proposed by the Traffic Bureau, was "unrealistic" and would deter customers from shopping at the major depart ment -stores. Lang called for a resump tion of one-way operations late spring or early summer next year with a double white line marking the single, oppo site lane. Progressive traffic lights should facilitate, traffic, he said. Commenting about his pro posals Lang said: "We don't say this is it.

We re advanc ing these to stimulate thought on the subject." The studies RTC undertook aimed to assist in a final determination which would aid all interests involved, Lang said. working as a unit with the thought of doing only rehabilitation work during wartime. Under the present system reservists would go to scattered air bases to do their special job if war tame. The new plan will entail community support and cooperation, the spokesman said. Editorial Placed In Record WASHINGTON (GNS) An outline of developments which preceded present conditions in Cuba, printed as an editorial in the Sunday, May 28, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, was placed in the Congressional Record yesterday by Rep.

Harold C. Oster-tag (R). Entering the editorial in the Record, the Congressman commented: "With all the discussion of the Cuban situation now going on it is helpful to keep before us a clear analysis of events which produced the present conditions. Such a review was printed recently as an editorial in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle."

Bike Rider, 10, Hurt In Crash with Car Thrown from his bicycle when it and a car collided in Minder Street near Ridgeway Avenue about 6:30 last night, Edward Bigelow, 10, of 1444 Dewey Ave. suffered head and leg injuries. The son of Mrs. Jean Bigelow was re ported in satisfactory condi tion later at Strong Memo- rial Hospital.

Police said Alexander Walker, 44, of 110 Ridgeway Ave. was the driver.) Furniture Burn striking telephone workers on the last offer by Roches ter Telephone Corp. are ex pected today. Joseph Beirne, international president of Communications Workers of America (AFL-CIO), ruled yesterday that rejection of the company offer Monday by Rochester CWA Local 1170 was invalid. Beirne's statement on the Monday vote preceded a meeting yesterday with officials of Local 1170 in Wash ington.

Beirne said the Monday vote was invalid because an international representative of the union was not present to explain the company offer before the vote was taken. He also said the international ballots were in the mail before the local meeting was called. "The vote Monday was a meaningless exercise except to show the people thought then, but it has no legal mean- he said. Local officials objected to ithe mail ballot procedure and opposed a recommendation by the international that Local 1170 accept the company's last offer. The rank and file went along with local officers in the Monday balloting and rejected the offer 619 to 93.

After the meeting with Local 1170 officials, Beirne said international authoriza tion for the strike was denied, i Beirne did not elaborate on i the denial, but a union source i said Beirne never sanctioned a strike unless he was con vinced further negotiations were useless. In a statement issued after the meeting, Beirne said: "The entire negotiating and strike picture was reviewed. Authorization of the strike was denied. The final under- A streamlined reserve pro- pled planes in time of war was announced last night by the Air Force. The program calls for the reorganization of three local squadrons of 320 men into a special "recovery" squadron of about 150.

The new squadron would work as a maintenance outfit to service bombers unable to return to their home bases. Accent will shift from classrooms to on-the-job training, a spokesman said. The plan, expected to take tion of a recovery group of 4C recovery group of 40 men to administer training programs for the new squadron. Reservists whose skills do not fit the recovery operation would probably remain in the present center about a year, the spokesman said. Commander of the new squadron will be Col.

Harry Staley, Batavia. Regular Air Force adviser will be Lt. Col. William Steele, now stationed at the reserve center, 20 Sym-j mgton Fiace. The spokesman stressed that no attempt would be made to launch bombers from here but Rochester Monroe County Airport would be used only during total mobilization to harbor crippled planes.

When the plan takes effect it will mean local reservists to appear in Citv Court here yesterday to answer a petit larceny charge. Detectives Richard Skuse and George Reiss said Morganti passed a phony $35 check here. A warrant for his arrest was served in Syracuse where he was being held. When he was released in bail in Syracuse last week he posted $250 bail and a $5,000 bond for his appearance in Rochester City Court yesterday. LT.

Judge Sidney Z. Davidson or dered a bench warrant for him and ordered the bail for feited. The conspiracy charge in Syracuse stems from the leged plot to hold up a man at a Camden, N.J., race track last month. Man Admits Cashing Forged Check Albert M. Jonack, 29, of 532 Remington St.

Offers Aid On UR Chimney The Federal Aviation Agency yesterday informed the county it will pay half the cost of lowering the University of Rochester smoke stack 67 feet. The agency set the limit for its share at $294,500. The FAA has recommended the work because it claims the 200-foot stack is in the flight approach to Rochester-Monroe County Airport. An agreement between UR and the county calls for a $350,000 payment plus $13,500 a year: for 25 years. The cost covers conversion of the heating I plant, necessary because of a shorter stack, ana the additional annual operating expense.
