FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1966 Congress Gives Waterloo a Memorable Day Businessman First Suggested Day to Honor War Dead ranged for early next week. Waterloo officials would journey to Washington for the ceremony. President Johnson was sent telegrams yesterday by Waterloo and Historical Society officials, urging that he attend the Memorial Day centennial here which will be May 28 and 29 in addition to May 30. The speedy U.S.

Senate approval followed Tuesday's approval by the House of Representatives and left officials here in a surprised and delighted daze. It was only a year ago the drive began to bring national recognition to what was then only a claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day al- By BOB NEWMAN Special to The Democrat and Chronicle WATERLOO This community was recognized yesterday by Congress as the origin place of Memorial Day in the U.S., the annual national honoring of the deceased. The U.S. Senate's unanimous approval of the resolution came shortly before noon and it then became law. Presidential approval is not required, although the resolution authorizes the President to issue a proclamation.

Rep. Samuel S. Stratton, who provided the push for the legislation, said he hopes an appropriate White House signing ceremony may be ar form the Waterloo Memorial Day Centennial Day Committee. Letters went out to all village organizations, with the first meeting of the committee held in July and an official statement of purpose made -to carry out a "proper" centennial and to procure congressional recognition of the origin. The "continuous and diligent" research resulted in the three large booklets: A source bibliography, a summary and repudiation of other claims, and the story of the first Memorial Day and plans for the centennial.

These were supplied to the congressional representatives. retary-treasurer of the Historical Society here, remarked to the American Legion commander, Robert Scanlon, that 1965 is the 100th anniversary of the origin of Memorial Day here. Scanlon mentioned this to Rep. Stratton who then said at the last Memorial Day observance here that he would seek congressional recogmtion of Waterloo as the Memorial Day birthplace, if local officials would supply the needed research. The Waterloo mayor and trustees, at the observance, reportedly were impressed with Stratton's suggestion and on June 16 held an organizational meeting to unofficially WATERLOO The Memorial Day Centennial is approximately 100 years from May 5, 1866 when a Waterloo citizen, Henry C.

Welles, is said to have suggested the village set aside a day to honor the Civil War dead. Welles and Gen. John B. Murray, who also lived in Waterloo at that time, are credited here as co-originators of Memorial Day in the U. S.

Waterloo is said to be the first U. S. community to observe a "communitywide and annual honoring of the deceased." Memorial Day was proclaimed officially in 1868 by Gen. John A. Logan, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic.

May 30 was set aside each year to honor the war dead. Gen. Logan received inspiration for declaring Memorial -Day from Gen. Murray of Waterloo, citizens here held. The research committee for the Memorial Day Centennial believe the idea for the observance originated this way: In 1865 Henry Welles, a prominent Waterloo businessman, suggested decorating graves of the Civil War dead as a tribute to their sacrifice.

In the spring of 1866 the idea was raised again and Gen. Murray, then Seneca County clerk, led a parade of Civil War veterans and other citizens to cemeteries where soldiers' graves were decorated. Gen. Murray always mentioned in following years, researchers here held, that he spoke of the Waterloo celebration to Gen. Logan at an army reunion.

Bove refused to apply for the staff of the hospital. The issue came to a head when the president of the medical society issued a statement that the hospital should be opened as a facility for long-term care patients and not as a general hospital. The hospital's board of managers started a search for doctors to staff the hospital from surrounding counties and beyond offering office space in the hospital at a nominal fee. The doctors brought to Seneca Falls had not been able to join the Seneca County Medical Society, although some are members of medical societies in other counties. Revise New Law, Says Seneca Unit SENECA FALLS The Sen eca County Medical Society yesterday adopted a resolution favoring the repeal of the New York State Medical Assistance law.

"If this is not possible," the society stated, "several changes are recommended." The society adopted a position whish it said "was in accord with that of the Monroe County Medical Society and the 7th District Branch of the New York State Medical Society." Its "most vigorous protest," the society stated, "was centered on the provision of the law which allows the state commissioner of social welfare to establish an eligibility rule to include a very large segment of the total population of the state." Dr. Paul C. Jenks of Waterloo, the Public Relations Committee chairman of the county society, said it "favors the program to meet the needs of those who are truly indignent, but is intensely opposed to any program which pays through taxation for the care of those able to pay for themselves." If the repeal of the present state medical aid bill "is not possible," the county society recommended the following changes in the program: -The date of the law should be set back at least to Jan. 1, 1967, to allow time to study the law and determine the cost of the program. -Limits ofeligibility should be lowered to a realistic level in accord of that in other states.

The requirement for pre- authorization for care should be dropped. -Blue Cross and Blue Shield and other carriers as intermediaries should be used as in Title 18 of the Federal Medicare Law. -There should be provision for deductible and co-insurance on care outside hospitals.

in the dining room. ft jM The action so unexpected that the two physicians said they would have no idea until a meeting today what next move to make could renew previously bitter feud between segments of the Seneca Falls and Waterloo hospitals. The Seneca Falls Hospital physicians who had applied for membership, with approval almost assumed at the annual May meeting of the society here vesterday. were Dr. Harold F.

Dallas and Dr. Alphonse N. Guardino. Members of the county society refused to reveal why or by what vote the two physicians were turned down, but it is believed they were irritated at a news article that reported the probable acceptance of the two physicians. The two physicians refused membership probably can gain membership by appealing to the New York State Medical Society a route employed previously to enter the Seneca County Medical Society.

Last March the society ad mitted a physician for the first time from the staff of the three- year-old Seneca Falls Hospital. He is Dr. Alvin O'bullivan. Dr. Emil J.

Bove of Seneca Falls was a member of the county society before the Seneca Falls Hospital and Taylor-Brown Hospital feud broke out in 1960. Dr. 'Sullivan applied to the county society and was turned down. He then appealed to the State Medical Society whose Judicial Council directed the Seneca County Society to accept him. The move opened the way for other Seneca Falls Hospital physicians to apply for county society membership and was thought by some a step toward reconciliation of doctors in the two hospitals.

Last March an official of the county tociety said the former denial of membership to incoming Seneca Falls Hospital physicians was based on its view toward the hospital and had no bearing on qualifications of the physi cians. Dr. Guardino, turned down yesterday, was honored in 1962 with a fellowship in the Amer ican College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. He has served as an assistant clinical instructor at the State University of New York, Downstate Medical Center. Dr.

Guardino is a member of the Morris County Medical Society of New Jersey where he practiced obstetrics and gyne cology. The feud between Seneca Falls Hospital and the Seneca County Medical Society started in 1960 when doctors resigned en masse from the staff of the old Seneca Falls Hospital, claim ing facilities at the newer Taylor-Brown Hospital in Water loo were more adequate. This action forced the old hospital, which had been con demned by the state, to close. Seneca Falls citizens then voted a bond issue to build a new hospital. In November, 1962, a few months before the new hospi tal was to open, the feud again broke out.

Members of The familiar stucco house, once a barn, according to several old-timers, was one of four structures either demolished or removed from the downtown tract which was purchased by Marine Midland for a new commercial bank in Newark. Contractors razed the Arthur Christy house on South Main Street, an adjoining service station at the corner opposite Central Park and a double shingle dwelling east of the stucco house to make room for the new bank. The house-moving operation attracted spectators from start to finish. School children, those enjoying a holiday from St. Michael's Parochial School, turned out in small groups to watch the "free show." As usual pet canines joined in the festivities but none interfered with the project.

A telephone lineman dropped a line on Church Street, bringing a yelp from a dog that caught the wire on its back. Vincent Lukas, superintendent of public works, was present to look out for the village's interest in the operation with Police Lt. Edwin Krueger "doubling up" as traffic officer. The police department was short-handed yesterday because of illness, with Krueger hopping from intersection to intersection to help with traffic details. By CHARLES ROSS Special to The Democrat and Chronicle NEWARK They moved a house yesterday.

All the way from downtown Newark to a new address on East Avenue near Bailey Hill. Contractors figured on four hours and they came within an hour of their estimate in moving a stucco house in the former Christy estate from its Church Street site to the southern tip of tree-lined East Avenue. Crews from the New York Telephone New York State Electric Gas Corp. and the Monroe Tree Surgeons worked as a team in "opening up" the route for the house that was going home. Tree limbs were seen strewn along the East Avenue curbs, with a few sawed off on Church Street.

The house movers experienced little trouble swinging the dwelling around the corner at the Church-East Avenue intersection near the Medical Center. It required a little "cable lifting" at the intersection and some sharp driving skill by the tractor operator to get the house around the corner, and from then on it was smooth rolling. the makeup water supply. The equipment should be housed in an addition to the building, Woodward advises. At the springs, the installation would be similar except that the same pump could be used to pump from the satura tor to the storage tank and from the storage tank to the service pump discharge, two ic State Health Department would not approve the application of trie fluoride solution to the pump discharge.

If not, it would be necessary to install a meter in the line entering the collection basin from the springs, and install an automatic proportioning pump. Even then, at low flows, it might be impossible to propor tion the fluoride solution prop erly, according to the engineer. 1 False Report Costs Youth S50 BATAVIA A Batavia youth charged with making a false report to police that his car had been stolen pleaded guilty in City Court yesterday.
