TUESDAY, JAN. 26, 1965 60 Million Tabbed for Med Center The price tag on expansion of the University of Rochester Medical Center over the next 15 years will be $60 million, UR president W. Allen Wallis said last night. Earlier estimates had fixed the cost between $40 and $50 million.

"Our plans call for an increase of 20 per cent (from 70 to 84) in each class of M.D. candidates and of 100 per cent (from 75 to 150) in the I patients who don't pay for their own care and for whom no public or private agency pays."

D. program or of its residency program." The UR Medical Center ex-panson program was first announced in the fall of 1963. Replacement of Strong Memorial Hospital is expected to be the main phase of the long-range program. The new In addition, Wallis said, curriculum changes and expansion of the student body will ultimately require 50 additional faculty members.

"Their salaries and supporting services will result in a $1.5 million increase in our annual operating costs." The UR president said the developments will have a major impact on the community. The building of a new hospital to replace Strong can Airlines 727, arrived here about 5'2 hours later at 6:45 p.m. yesterday on its way from Chicago to New York. American officials said it was delayed in Chicago by "mechanical troubles and bad weather." Under normal conditions, the daily jet flight to New York is expected to leave here at 1:35 p.m., arriving at Kennedy Airport at 3:19 p.m. The daily Chicago flight will take off at 12:30 p.m.

and land there at 1:01 p.m., Chicago time (2:01 Rochester time). The three-engine airliners can cruise at 600 miles an hour. The flight to New York also stops in Syracuse. American plans to expand its jet schedule in Rochester later this year. Both Mohawk and United Airlines expect to begin jet service during 1965.

The same flight was attempted again last Saturday but the plane returned to Kennedy International Airport in New York after low visibility prevented landings both here and in Syracuse. The weather also canceled American's first passenger jet flight, which was to have landed here Sunday. People living in the vicinity of the airport have expressed apprehension over the expected noise of the jet landings and takeoffs. But a survey of householders over whose houses the plane passed yesterday on its approach revealed no complaints. "I never heard a thing," one housewife said.

"We're so accustomed to the racket the regular planes make that guess a little more won't hurt." Fiochester's second commercial jet, another Ameri After three successive postponements, the first commercial jet to land at the Rochester-Monroe County Airport arrived here half an hour late at 12:35 p.m. yesterday. American Airlines officials said their Boeing 727 Astrojet was delayed on its flight from New York by ceremonies in Syracuse. The plane did not use the new $7.7 million runway constructed expressly for jets. Instead, because of the weather, it landed by instruments on an older runway.

The Astrojet dropped off 67 passengers here, picked up 70 and took off for Chicago at 1:10 p.m. with a full load of 94.

The drop in cost and number of receiving families was attributed to stiffer eligibility laws the welfare department adopted after 1962. That year the county spent $56,678 on its surplus foods program. Nearly 220,000 persons received aid as the county gave away 1,166 tons of government surplus foods.

Escaping Natural Gas Burns in Culver Road May remained a model of bovine serenity. She barely noted the crowds pressing against her pen, the high school girls craddling books, the old men leaning on canes.

"One squirt and I'm going," said one coed, shivering down into her fur collar. "In the old. country," said an elderly man, "we used to squirt it right into our mouths. That's the only time we had milk. Rest of the time, we drank wine." But nobody appeared particularly puzzled over May's presence on the Mall, or why Roberts and Giles found it necessary to do their chores in public.

Actually, they are among 500 delegates attending the annual New York State Holstein Friesian Association convention at the Manger Hotel. The three-day affair got under way yesterday. If "Friesian" seems puzzling, it simply denotes the area in Germany where the Holstein breed was first developed. May, a prize-winning example of that bred, also will be on display for the next two days, along with a two-week-old calf the receptacle for all that milk. By DON KNORR With a little coaxing, May, an Holstein, can yield 22 quarts of milk on an average day, plus a few pounds of butterfat.

But yesterday was far from average, and when we ran into May on Midtown Mall, she already had surpassed her average performance at least in the number of milkings. Two is her usual quota. By the time we arrived, however, Ray Roberts of Clyde, her owner, was about to urge May into a fourth. "We milked her first at 4 a.m.," the ruddy-faced dairy farmer explained, "then again at 3 p.m. for these little cerebral palsy kids, and then again about 15 minutes later for the TV fellas.

But it wasn't so good that time. And this next time? "Much better. You watch." So saying, Roberts and Tom Giles, another dairy farmer from Scottsville, readied the cow for another sitting, with Roberts doing the honors. Through it all, break was not known, but he said recent drastic changes in temperatures may be to blame. Flames at one time shot up more than 10 feet in the air along a 10 feet wide section of the loose dirt.

About 15 patrolmen kept curious passersby out of the area. After the special "dry powder'' extinguishers arrived, the blaze was out in seconds. Gas, however, still continued to escape and a "no smoking" ban was clamped on the area while crews worked at tying off the pipe at the curbside main. mained up until early this morning. While firemen trained hoses on the fire to prevent its spread, crews shut off the gas in at least three houses adjacent to the Charles G.

Morrison said the break occurred between the gas main and the Connor home and seeped through loose fill left by the excavation. crewmen, using air masks, plugged the main at the point where the service line joins it, stopping the leak shortly after midnight. Morrison said cause of the Firemen and Rochester Gas Electric Corp. crews battled a natural gas fire in front of 2059 Culver Road for nearly an hour last night before snuffing it out with chemicals.

The blaze, confined to an excavation ditch where sewer work was underway, apparently started from a kerosene flare, left by workmen, according to Battalion Chief James Morrison, one of the first at the scene. A passerby turned in the alarm shortly before 9:45 and within minutes, police had Culver blocked off between Waring Road and Norton Street. The blockades re.
