The battle is between attorney Paul C. DeBernardis, a Democrat, who seeks Democranc nomination as Traffic Court Justice, and the party organization. The party leaders and the organization petitions support Xf TrumanH. Preston, Republican incumbent, for the Democratic nomination. Both sides have objected to the primary petitions filed by their opponents.

But it appeared last night that as far as the Onondaga County election commis- siqners are concerned, the names erf both DeBtrnardis and Preston will appear on -the Democratic ballot. Both sides, however, have promised to institute court proceedings- by Tuesday--the deadline for doing so--to get their opponent's petitions invalidated by court decree and their rival for the nomination thrown off the Primary 'Day ballot. DeBernardis specifically challenged 1,702 of the 2,090 signa- rntin r.rgani- Preston, but signatures remained on the petition. The contest has been marked by DeBernardis' charge that many signatures on the Democratic organization petitions were forged, and that some of the petition witnesses' statements, that they personally witnessed the signatures, were false. His charges resulted in an investigation by District Attorney Arthur H.

Wilson. The probe so far has disclosed that there were 57 forgeries on the petitions and many other signatures were not the actual signatures of the persons whose names appeared on the petitions but were written by someone else with the person's consent. So far 121 persons have been interviewed by the district attorney and another 64 will be questioned today. DeBernardis said yesterday! that JC he is ruled off the Democratic primary ballot, either by the election commissioners or by the courts, that he will undoubtedly be a "write-in" candidate for the judicial nomination. Meanwhile, Attorney Thomas J.

The jawbone and a tusk of the prehistoric monster were among the finds removed from the earth where they were found at a level about four feet down. Some 200 to 300 bones remain to be removed from the excavation site. A tooth in the jawbone is larger than a child's head.

'T would deeply appreciate the co-operation of the Commission in making available to me upon my return a comprehensive program for the first scattered, site units," he said.

"We are dealing," the mayor declared, "with the health, welfare ar.d safety cf. many of mir citizens and this concern should precede further planning for urban renewal." said last night the commission will do "all it can" to comply with Mead's request.
