The Morning Newt, Wilmington, Tuesday, March 30, 1976 Sanford School chief replaced soft! r' y3 When a tornado ripped through Canton, Miss, yesterday afternoon, it left this trail of destruction plus three dead and about 100 injured. Another twister struck Cabot, Ark, killing 10 and injuring about 150. Another tornado killed a man in Drasco, Ark. The National Guard was called out in Cabot, and searchers were looking for more bodies. (AP Wirephoto) Tornado 's path of death Corrections asking for more money Prom the Dover Bureau DOVER-A three-pronged Department of Correction fund request would provide more than $1.7 milion in additional money to cover everything from new uniforms to a pay raise for the acting correction commissioner.

The department has submitted two requests for more than $760,000 in supplemental funds this fiscal year and a third request will ask more than $960,000 above the funding recommended for the department by Gov. Sherman W. Tribbitt for the coming fiscal year. One requested supplemental appropriation of $543,664 includes approximately $300,000 to cover unexpected overtime and to replenish the salary account which has been reduced by paying overtime. The budget this fiscal year now is $12.5 million; Tribbitt had asked for $13.1 million in the coming year.

Both figures exclude the $1.7 million. The salary account appropriation also would give acting correction commissioner Paul W. Keve a pay raise, from the $26,800 he receives now for his former post as chief of adult corrections, to the $30,000 he would receive as commissioner. Keve could receive the raise as much as three months before July 1, the beginning of the next fiscal year, when he is scheduled to get the additional money. Another supplemental request for $220,000 would go for new guards' uniforms at a cost of $80,000 and maintenance, including repainting inmates' cells.

The $967,895 requested for next year in addition to the governor's recommendation has been discussed with Tribbitt and will be put in final bill form this week, according to budget director G. Donald Dryden. All three requests require General Assembly action. The money would pay for a consolidated office for the department, salaries for 35 additional correction officers and nurses for two facilities, and new vehicles to replace those with more than 100,000 miles on them. sit on campus until the end of the year without a job." Eastburn said Beach resigned because of "philosophical differences" with the board, but East-, burn would not elaborate.

Two other board members, Arthur Crowell Jr. and Evelyn S. Dew, refused to discuss Beach's resignation. Although Beach was reluctant to discuss the matter, he believes the differences were more with key faculty and staff member than with the members of the board. He also said he thought some people objected to his educational outlook.

"I came from a school where students were gaining more freedom and responsibility," he said. "Sanford has a structure and a routine, quite a traditional, one. It took some adjustment for me, and sometimes it seemed, administratively, like a step backward," he said. Beach said schools and parents in gnenral are reacting to the overpermissiveness of the 1960s by rigidly controlling students' activities. "I am interested in developing responsibility in children," Beach said, "and you can't do that without giving students some freedom." Beach, who lives on the 175-acre campus in Hockessin, will remain there until the end of the school year.

Two of children attend Sanford. Two other children are in college. Beach said he would be glad to work with Carlson in any way he could, but has not gotten any direction so far. Before coming to Sanford a year and a half ago, Carlson was the principal of The American School in Luxembourg. Before that he was assistant director of admissions at Denison University in Grandville, Ohio.

Carlson is married, has three children and lives on Hillspring Ford, Pa. Changes at top expected to better hospital operation By MARLENE Z. BLOOM Rodney V. Beach, headmaster of Sanford School, has resigned his post under pressure from the school's board of directors. Although his resignation is effective June 30, Beach has already been replaced in his duties by Bruce E.

Carlson, former principal of Sanford's Middle School serving grades five through eight. Board members would not comment on the resignation except to say there were "irreconcilable dif ferences between Beach and the board. Beach speculated that was because he advocated a more open, student-center ed school ph losophy rather than a strict, disciplinary ap- proach. He has Beach been headmaster 1974. since August In his letter to the board, Beach said, "Differences have arisen between the school and myself which make it impossible to provide effective leadership I regret that a tenure that began with assured support and high hopes must end so abruptly and inconclusively." Carlson, 34, is expected to remain as acting headmaster throughout the 1976-77 school year, according to David A.

Eastburn, president of the board of directors. Eastburn said it was too late to recruit a permanent headmaster for next year. Beach, who is 50, came to Sanford from Cincinnati where he was headmaster of The College Preparatory School for 15 years. Although technically Beach resigned, it was clear he did not leave voluntarily. "I was not in on the decision to fire me," he said.

"There is no point in trying to cover up. Here I the current capital improvement budget for the purchase, but every expenditure of more than $500,000 must go back for final approval. That is what is needed this week. While there is some opposition to the park purchase, supporters expect to muster the votes for its passage. It may require a suspension of rules in order to clear both Houses quickly, but that isn't unusual.

According to William Hopkins, who is handling the sale for the state division of parks and recreation, this will not be the final dead I AH 1 yiUA Tribbitt wants police contract Gov. Sherman W. Tribbitt will order his negotiator to come up with a Delaware State Police contract in time for the General Assembly to act on it before adjournment, a police official said yesterday. In return, the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 6, bargaining agent for state police, will drop its civil suit against the governor and the state, according to lodge president Sgt. Thomas J.

Shannon. Shannon met with Tribbitt yesterday to obtain assurance on differences between the governor and the lodge. Tribbitt assured Shannon that negotiations would begin immediately with Lemuel H. Hickman, secretary of the Department of Public Safety, acting as negotiator for the governor, Shannon said. Vote due on Bellevue Retirement of a key administrator at Delaware State Hospital provided the opportunity for reorganization of the facility's hierar-cy by Earl McGinnes, secretary of the Department of Health and Social Services.

McGinnes said putting hospital director Robert C. Feeney over the new acting medical director is in line with moves in many medical care institutions. The reorganization of the top two positions at the hospital will develop a smoother, more coordinated operation, McGinnes said. McGinnes announced the change in power structure along with the appointment of Feeney as top administrator and Dr. T.

Richard Huxtable Jr. as acting medical director at the hospital. Huxtable, a member of the hospital staff since 1973, will replace Dr. Kurt Anstreicher, who retires tomorrow. Feeney's elevation marks the first time in the hospital's 87-year history that a Robert C.

Half of the $6.25 million purchase price will be coming from the federal government, and the sale is contingent on the approval of federal money by July 1. in order to qualify for the federal grant, Delaware must complete its comprehensive outdoor recreation plan. Hopkins said his office "is well within the time frame" scheduled for that document and is optimistic that legislative and federal approval will be in hand on time.

From the Dover Bureau DOVER The General Assembly has until Thursday to formally approve the purchase of Bellevue, the 270-acre estate of the late William du Pont, located off Interstate 95 north of Wilmington. The state has contracted to buy the property for a park, but a stipulation in the contract requires that final authorization from the legislature be given by Thursday. The General Assembly has already appropriated $4 million in take a moment nonmedical man has been in charge. McGinnes said all future medical directors of the hospital will come under the nonmedical hospital director. The appointment of Huxtable, McGinnes said, is not necessarily permanent, and a final decision will be made within four to six weeks.

Feeney, a 39-year-old Wilmington native, was named hospital director in 1973 on an equal basis with Anstreicher. With the reorganization, Feeney becomes in effect the superintendent of the state hospital, although his $28,000 salary will be lower than that of others on the staff, including Huxtable, who makes $29,000 as admissions psychiatrist and head of forensic services. As acting medical director, Huxtable will be in charge of patient care in the 672-bed hospital, which now has a resident population of 566 adults and adolescents under psychiatric care. Huxtable, a native of New Orleans, is also psychiatric consultant for the Delaware Correctional Center near Smyrna. Mich, smokers put off limits LANSING, Mich.
