Reports said an empty, cap sized skiff was found off the keys yesterday. Air Search An air search of the waters failed to turn up any sign of life or the wreckage of the fishing boat, the Coast Guard said. Robert Swan, also of 205 Seneca Parkway, said his brother had been living here for the past two years. He returned to Key West, where he maintained a home, for a vacation about three weeks ago. Thompson Swan, Peter and Scott were fishing in the twin-engine wood and fiberglass cruiser when the storm came up.

Peter Swan told his uncle, by telephone, that they were trying to make it back to shore, bucking 10-to-12-foot waves. The boat capsized, then broke in half. The life gear was torn away by waves. Even a raft, which they managed to save long enough to inflate, was dragged away by the rough water, Peter said. Peter said his father decided that young Scott wouldn't be able to make it to shore even with the help of the other two.

So Swan said he would stay with Scott while Peter went for help. Robert Swan described Peter as "an excellent swim- City's Population Revised Upward cepted for admission to the Air Force Academy. Peter suffered shock but wasn't hospitalized. A Coast Guard official told Robert Swan by telephone that there was "little hope." He said the water was still rough, hampering the sea search. The Coast Guard said it would have been notified if the father and son were picked up by another boat.

Airport Rescue According to Robert Swan, his brother was instrumental in pulling people out of the Mohawk airliner that crashed at the Rochester -Monroe County Airport in July 1963. Thompson suffered burns during the rescue work, Robert said. A native of Rochester, Thompson piloted 85 bombing missions in the European Theater during World War II. After the war he was a Pan American Airways pilot for about five years before opening a marine business in Florida. He closed the marine business and came here to help his brother.

His family remained in Tavernier, Fla. Thompson was responsible for much of the ambulance operation here and also at the Gloversville and Amsterdam divisions. All divisions are closed now. Robert was president of the firm and is also president and clinical director of Medical Laboratories of East Rochester, 11 Goodman St. N.

With a statement issued from City Hall, Maloy issued charts to show that in seven crime categories, Rochester ranked better than most other U.S. cities in its population class Charles T. Maloy of 250,000 to 500,000 persons. An aide said the FBI statistics cover the first nine months of the year and that statistics for the full year are not yet available. "Although the record shows Rochester is still a much better place in which to live than most other cities," Maloy said, "I want it to be better, and I know it will be." Here is how Rochester ranked in the seven serious crime categories: Murder and non-negligent manslaughter, 14th with 16 cases; Fort Worth was first with 52 cases, Syracuse 27th with three.

ROWAN and they never were off-color." His stories about his experiences on his return to Ireland delighted all when heard them. Mr. Rowan was a member of the Holy Name Society of St. Augustine's Church, the Daily Mass League, Nocturnal Adoration Society and the Rosewood Club, composed of members of the bureau above the rank of patrolman. Besides his wife, Mr.

Rowan is survived by two daughters, Sister M. Joan of the Sisters of St. Joseph here, and Mrs. Charles Pollet, also of Roch-Rochester, and a grandson. Vs Iff Author Praises Viet Nam Action Defense motions to suppress evidence against two men indicted on felony charges of operating a lottery were denied in County Court yesterday.

Defense Atty. Robert C. Napier attacked the search warrant, shown to be based solely on information provided by an anonymous informant, on the grounds that it "puts the defendents in the impossible position of not knowing if there was such an informant." Cayuga County Judge Ger ald S. Hewitt refused to force police to reveal the name of the informant and to suppress evidence on defense motions that the prosecution failed to show sufficient evidence for issuance of a warrant. The defendants, Bobbie L.

Farley, 38, of 32 Lyndhunt and Durward L. Lewin, 45, of 7 Sheridan were arrested last June 11 and charged with keeping a place for Cuban lottery (bolita) operations and a misdemeanor charge of possession bet slips. They were indicted last August. Napier first made a motion for a delay of the trial on the grounds that "the community has been surfeited by articles in The Democrat and Chronicle relative to gambling and alleged evils therein." He said the articles "are great in depth" and were written to "castigate gamblers." Judge Hewitt denied the motion for continuance after Napier argued, "I think it's Continued on Page 2B ic ic Five Forfeit Bail: Sixth Says 'Guilty' Five men, including "stamped gambler Anthony Donofrio, who were arrested in a raid Sunday at 167 State St. and charged with being inmates of a gambling place under the new city anti-gambling ordinance, failed to show up in City Court yesterday and each forfeited $15 bail.

A sixth man, Orazio Pizzoli. 53, of 332 Genesee arrest ed in the same raid and charged with being the keeper of a gambling place, pleaded guilty before Judge Sidney Z. Davidson. His case was adjourned to Thursday, and he was released in $100 bail. Donofrio, 42, of 161 Campbell was featured in The Democrat and Chronicle's recent series on "stamped" gamblers.

The others who didn't make an appearance were: James J.

In a letter to Gov.

Rocke feller, the council took issue with some proposed revised rules and recommendations for hospitals which it said it had learned the department is field testing. Council President Richard H. Eisenhart told the governor the proposed rules were premature and unworkable, and reiterated the council's position that the supervision of hospitals should be transferred from the State Welfare Department to the State Health Department "to eliminate duplication of effort and unnecessary expense." "We urge," Eisenhart wrote Rockefeller, "that any proposed revised rules and recommendations regarding hospitals not be implemented by the New York State Department of Social Welfare until your Committee on Hospital Costs, under the chairman ship of the Honorable Marion B. Folsom (of Rochester), has reported its findings to you regarding the jurisdiction for Continued on Page 2B Homer said yesterday. The original total for the city was 305,739.

The new total is 305,849. Homer said the Census Bureau, while acknowledging its errors, had informed him that the only way it would certify other reported discrepancies would be through a complete census undertaken at city expense. A City Hall press release said the Census Bureau changed its figures as a result of the protest by the city and that "the city is pursuing legal action to upset the so- called special census, ordered by the County of Monroe for the apparent purpose of redistributing sales tax revenues in a manner detrimental to the city and its taxpayers. The city also will seek legislative action in Albany to require the decennial census to be used as a basis for sales tax revenue distribution." The revised certification shows: Total male female 305,849 146,088 159,761 white 273,509 130,164 143,343 non-white 32,340 15,924 16,416 The sales tax revenues collected by the county are distributed 10 per cent to the W.

"It appears characteristic of President Johnson," Lerner continued, "that when faced with Max Lerner a choice of action or inaction, he should choose action though of- a limited sort. "He is a careful man and he makes it quite clear that city and 19 towns. The break down between the city and towns depends upon population. Under the 1960 census figures, the city received more than the area outside the city. The 1964 special census showed the towns' population increased and the city's decreased so the towns now get more of the sales tax revenues.

UR Only Bidder For City Land The University of Rochester was the only bidder yesterday for 16.3 city-owned acres. The university offered the city's minimum price, $150,000, in the public auction. Walter B. Fogarty, acting city superintendent of real estate, conducted the auction. The City Council stipulated the minimum price, that the property must be used for higher education for at least 15 years, and that a building must be constructed within four years.

The site is along River Boulevard, just north of the present UR campus. "Why is the black uie wiiue man in ship? John W. Rowan, 70, a retised Rochester Police Bureau detective captain, died of a heart attack yesterday afternoon (Feb. 8, 1965) in his home, 92 Hobart St. His wife, Elizabeth M.

White couples dotted the booths, some drinking and laughing with Negroes. If anyone was disturbed, no one knew it because nothing was said. One of the answers was: "No black man during When Rochester's riots broke out last summer, reporter Earl Caldwell was in New York covering Harlem's racial violence.

Austin was a policeman 42 years. Since his retirement, Mr. Rowan was in charge of hiring for Northeastern Security Services, 2057 Mt. Read a private detective agency. Mr.

Rowan, a native of County Mayo, Ireland, came here when he was 14 and or Gleason Works before being appointed a patrolman June 12, 1922. His first assignment was walking a beat out of the old Fourth Precinct Station on Joseph Avenue. On July 16, 1931, he was appointed a detective. He was advanced to detective ser geant April 1, 1951; detective lieutenant July 2, 1953, and detective captain July 29, 1956. About 10 years ago, Mr.

Rowan took a summer leave-of-absence to return to County Mayo to visit his two sis ters and a brother, who have since died. Mr. Rowan was a nattily dressed, cheerful, witty man who never fully lost his Irish Drogue. One former associate said last night: "Jack never failed to have a funny story or joke to tell you when you met him kickoff dinner for the Roch ester Israel Bond Committee at Irondequoit Country Club, the writer noted: "It was courage cemented with prudence, and I feel very comforted at that." Learner said he was convinced that withdrawal from South Viet Nam would result in losing most of Southeast Asia, endangering the Philippines, and "casting a long shadow over I i It would also mean returning at a later date with "more guns, ships and men." Will President Johnson's tactic succeed? Lerner is fairly certain it will. "The Chinese would probably like to extend the war, but they are not in a position to, both economically and militarily," he said.

"The Russia apparently are in- terested in building influence; in North Viet Nam, but not by! 11. 1. A uie eany seiuing ot mis nation was ever given royal grants of land and natural resources as is now the heritage of many well-to-do white families." And: "While the white man was amassing a fortune during slavery, the black man was being exploited nationally through free labor." Along 125th Street Harlem's Broadway Lawson's economic development group is attempting to buy out the shops operated by whites. So far, they claim to have bought a dozen. By this summer, they expect to have another 12.

"What we want to do is make Harlem a nice place to live. But we want it owned and run by black men, not whites," Lawson said. But it wasn't like old times at all. You found that out when you listened to James Lawson, a large man who kept himself busy by carrying on conversations with as many people as would listen at once. With one group, Lawson was talking about "Uncle Toms" and some sheets he put out a few years back using that term to describe some of Harlem's Negro leaders.

Lawson himself qualifies as a leader because he's president of the United African Nationalist Movement in Harlem and the Greater New York ing that line. It's no good." Thus Lawson's explanation came full circle: Get rid of the people you disagree with and you have the chance to do it your way. Lawson said he looks on the Negro's plight or Harlem as a "broken-down department." The social service approach he believes can't handle the repair job. What could and will is the economic approach, he said. "We have to realize our economic power," he said.
