1987 nniEFiuG College in Amherst, and a doctorate in European history from Columbia University. "He was an outstanding specialist on the history of the Jackson-ian era," said MUton Berman, a history professor at UR. Because of his fascination with the life of Seward, Mr. Van Deusen was instrumental in helping the university obtain the personal papers of the secretary of state under President Abraham Lincoln. Seward was a former resident of Auburn, Cayuga County, who was responsible for convincing Congress to buy the Alaskan territory from Russia in 1867.

Mr. Van Deusen also helped the UR library obtain the papers of Thomas E. Dewey, the former New York governor. Mr. Van Deusen's honors included receiving the Albert J.

Be-veridge Memorial Prize of the American Historical Society for his manuscript on Horace Greeley. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. today at St John's Home, 150 Highland Ave. Mr. Van Deusen is survived by his wife of 55 years, the former Ruth Litteer; a son, Nicholas Van Deusen of Indianapolis, a daughter, Nancy Yates of Pitts-ford; and four grandchildren.

Kevin Hicks Strasenburgh, ex-Avon justice Democrat and Chronicle AVON Paul F. Strasenburgh, a former school board member and town and village justice in Avon, died Monday at his home here. He was 82. A native of Avon, he was the son of Dr. Frederick and Emily Pughe Strasenburgh.

He attended Syracuse University and graduated in 1927 from the University of Rochester Besides serving on the Avon Central School Board of Education, he was the school's treasurer for many years. During most of his tenure as justice he served both town and village. He was village justice from 1963 to 1973 and town justice from 1962 to 1971. He operated the Strasenburgh Insurance Agency for 30 years until his retirement in 1961. He was a past president and 55-year member of the Avon Rotary Club.

He is survived by his wife Shirley; a son, Alex, of Avon; two daughters, Marsha Bentley of Arlington, Texas, and Lucinda Jackson of Loudonville, Albany County, and five grandchildren. drug testing in the workplace. He said the city's right to pass a drug-testing law was limited by the legal concept of "pre-emption" meaning that local governmental bodies cannot step into areas controlled by the state and federal governments. The drug-testing proposal is supported by Erb and council members Maxine Childress Brown, F. Glenn King and Jean M.

Car-rozzi. Council President Ruth H. Scott and council members Curran, Lois J. Giess, Joan M. Hensler and Tim Mains believe the issue of jurisdiction should be resolved before they vote on the matter.

Childress Brown said at the committee meeting that she was satisfied with the issue of jurisdiction and was ready to vote. The committee deadlocked at 2-2 on whether to send Erb's proposal to council for Wednesday's meeting. When there's a tie, legislation remains in committee. Curran and Giess voted to keep it in committee, while Carrozzi and Childress Brown who as acting council president can vote at committee meetings wanted to send it on to council for a full vote. 7-day-a-week court opposed I By John O'Brien Oemoct and Chrome Rochester officials are against a proposal to keep City Court open seven days a week, citing overtime costs and staffing problems.

Public Safety Commissioner Paul Bringewatt, in a report submitted last month, told state Supreme Court Justice Joseph G. Fritsch that a seven-day week in City Court would be unfeasible. Fritsch, the administrative judge of the 7th Judicial District, is considering opening the arraignment portion of City Court on Sundays and holidays, as is done in most cities and towns in the state. "A seven-day week schedule would not be feasible from a personnel management point of view," Bringewatt wrote. His report said overtime costs to the city could run as high as $14,692 a year to have city employees work an additional 52 Sundays.

Defendants who are arrested on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday must now wait in jail for up to two days for a City Court judge to Fritsch first made the proposal to open City Court on Sundays and holidays at a meeting with the seven City Court judges in February. The idea of keeping the court open on holidays became a public issue last year when Bristol arraigned defendants in the Monroe County Jail on Martin Luther King Day. City Court Judge John R. SchwarU also arraigned defendants on Christmas. Judges sitting on Part 1, the arraignment portion of City Court, may arraign defendants at any time they choose.

Doing it on a regular basis would create scheduling problems, Bringewatt's report said. "I would recommend against full court seven days a week, especially as reasonable alternatives seem to be available if this is determined to be a problem," Bringewatt wrote. "We have many competing demands for existing resources. We don't need more." Sgt Roland A. Marchetti of the police department's General Services division also submitted a letter with Bringewatt's report, recommending the court not be opened seven days.

take the bench and decide their bail status. Six of the seven City Court judges, excluding Judge William H. Bristol, formulated a plan in light of proposal and submitted it to Fritsch two weeks ago, said Joseph D. Valentino, supervising judge of City Court Valentino and Fritsch both refused to discuss the plan recommended by the judges. Fritsch said yesterday he is hoping to make a decision on his proposal by the end of this month.

County officials also submitted a report to Fritsch last month, saying the net cost to the county of opening the court on Sundavs would be about $21,000. But Raymond Santirocco, commissioner of Public Safety and Judicial Services for the county, said he recommended verbally to Fritsch that the court be opened seven days a week. "I support the idea not on a cost-benefit basis, but in the interest of justice, and in the interest of relieving, however modestly, jail overcrowding," Santirocco said. Santirocco's report said the cost of paying county employees overtime to work the extra days would be offset, though not entirely, by not having to keep as many inmates in jail overnight place, wants council to vote on his legislation at Wednesday's meeting. At yesterday's meeting, Erb said that hiring a iawyer at this time disappoints him and that the "time has come" for council to take a vote.

"I'd like to point out that this is the 100th day this legislation has been on the table," Erb said. "To me and to a lot of members of the community this appears to be a stalling tactic." Curran told Erb he was "sensitive" to his remarks and said it was Erb who asked him six weeks ago to delay hiring a lawyer to study the question of jurisdiction. "It was at your specific request that I do so," Curran told Erb. Erb's proposal, among other things, would forbid random drug testing and encourage rehabilitation of workers identified as drug abusers. Erb has said that he has three separate lawyers' opinions that state the city has the authority to regulate drug testing.

He said the authority falls under the state constitution and under Municipal Home Rule. But Louis N. Kash, city corporation counsel, has challenged Erb's proposal and said the city lacks the jurisdiction to control for re-election to a second four-year term yesterday. Hedding, 44, a Democrat, said accomplishments during her first term include: devising an agreement with the city that provides a more stable funding source for schools, bringing together a diverse school board when she was board president in 1986, and working to improve professional standards. Hedding, of 269 Sherwood had been active in a variety of school activities before being elected to the seven-member board.

Sex abuse charged A 9-year-old boy told his parents a friend of the family was sexually abusing him. He reported it to them after a lesson on "good touch and bad touch," Monroe County sheriffs deputies said. Frederick C. Robinson, 44, of 26 Keystone Drive, Harper Trailer Park, Penfield, was charged Wednesday with first-degree sexual abuse, said Investigator Michael Hagler. Robinson is accused of fondling the 9-year-old boy during a year's time when the child would visit him.

The victim's 7-year-old brother came home from school with material he received on "good touching and bad touching," Hagler Council seeks legal help on drug-test issue By Todd Llghry Oemocral and Cftrorncie City Council yesterday hired a lawyer to help decide if council have the authority to control drug testing in the workplace. Lawyer Frank S. Hagelberg of the law firm Harter, Secrest and Emery will study the matter. Councilman John G. Curran said the jurisdiction issue must be resolved before council votes on pending legislation that would limit drug testing by industry, business and other governments in Rochester.

"Do we have the jurisdiction? That must be resolved first," said Curran, chairman of the Law and Finance Committee. The committee met yesterday afternoon. All nine council members were in attendance. The jurisdiction issue probably will not be answered in time for council's next regular meeting on Wednesday, Curran said. Councilman John G.

Erb, who in December first proposed controlling drug testing in the work said. The parents began talking to their children about it and the 9-year-old blurted out what happened to him. Robinson was arraigned Wednesday in Penfield Town Court and held in the Monroe County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash baiL He also was ordered to undergo a mental examination. Head injuries killed driver A doctor at Highland Hospital's Family Medicine Center died Wednesday of massive head trauma from injuries he suffered when his car flipped on Interstate 490 near downtown, according to a spokesman for the Monroe County Medical Examiner's office. Jack A.

"Jacob" Finkler, 30, of 235 Linden St, was pronounced dead at 1:06 p.m. Wednesday at Strong Memorial Hospital. Finkler's car was seen traveling westbound at high speed in the left lane of 1-490, said Capt Robert Tacito. The car crossed two lanes of traffic and hit a road barrier before becoming airborne and hitting the wall of the Alexander Street bridge and landing on its top. The coroner has not ruled on whether the death was accidental or suicide.

Finkler was in the hospital's residency program. OBITUARIES UR scholar was historian, author Dr. Glyndon G. Van Deusen, a noted scholar of American history and former chairman of the history department at the University of Rochester, died Wednesday of a stroke at St. John's Home.

He was 89. Mr. Van Deusen was head of the UR history department from 1954 until his retirement in 1962. He was the author of nine books, eight on American history. He wrote widely praised biographies on William Henry Seward, Henry Clay, Thurlow Weed and Horace Greeley all influential figures of the 19th century.

"Glyndon Van Deusen was a dramatic and inspiring teacher who brought reason to complex issues and problems said John B. Christopher, a retired UR history professor. A native of Clifton Springs, Ontario County, Mr. Van Deusen graduated from UR in 1925 and became a faculty member at the university five years later. He also held a master's degree in American history from Amherst NEWS ROUNDUP Drug, gun arrest made in Newark NEWARK Police arrested a Wayne County man yesterday for having a loaded pistol and 42 individual packets of cocaine in his possession.
