County Hospital Opposed by VA Smoke Fells Woman, 60, In AparYmentl A 60-year-old woman was overcome by smoke that heavily damaged the living room of her apartment at 237 Alexan- Ivate sources and the balance i from government agencies. The university applied for the federal grant under Title If of the Higher Education Facilities By REGINALD F. TORRE Gannett News Service By DAVE SIMMS Police yesterday shut down a second-floor print shop on St. Paul Street which they believe puts out all the football parlay slips distributed in Monroe County.

The last sheet was run off a small letterpress about 5 p.m. at Econo-Print Service, 482 St. Paul before the first "pickup" of the night could be made. Owner of the firm, which prints several weekly and monthly publications for the Rochester area, is George C. Cooper 49, of 529 Lakeview Park, according to Detective Capt.

James Cavoti, who directed the shutdown. Cooper was charged with keeping a place used for gambling purposes and violation of the city's anti-gambling ordinance. He was released last night on $1,000 bail. Detective Jack Gerbino estimated that 2,000 blue and pink slips had been run off when he and Detectives Donald Bunce and Elwood Smith and plain-clothesman Joseph Cimino walked into the shop with a search warrant. The operation allegedly took place each Monday during football season between 4:30 and 9 p.m.

Vice Control Unit detectives began watching the building about two months ago and had followed cars from a neighborhood parking lot to suspected gambling places in the county where parlay slips allegedly were dropped off. Yesterday detectives drove into the parking lot about 4:30 and waited. Another car pulled in moments later and the driver blew the horn, they said.
