Redevelopment Authority accused of favoring councilwoman's son By Bob Frump Inquirer Stall Writer A member of the Society Hill Civic Association yesterday accused the Rdevelopment Authority of favoring a developer whose mother is a member of the City Council.

But a museum spokesman said the objects had been acquired legally and would not be returned. "There is no decision to be made at this point," the spokesman said.

"The objects were obtained legally and they belong to us. They were given to us by the government of Iraq after a joint expedition with the British Museum." The objects were uncovered at the ancient city of Ur, the city in which ity meeting. Joel Chernock, the son of Council-woman-at-large Beatrice Chernock, a Republican, plans to convert into apartment units five houses acquired from the Authority for $80,000 between 1970 and 1973.

Robb said most developers would have been forced to return the urban neighbor shortly after noon and were told that a man with a red tow truck was removing a car parked in the 1100 block of South 48th Street near Regent Street.

The suit was filed by the medical societies in Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery story told Media that, because of his fear that "nobody would believe that my story was true," he had lied to everyone. Nauss said yesterday that he had often slapped Miss Lande when two were dating, "maybe a couple of times a week," with his hand. "Sometimes in an argument she'd throw things at me," Nauss said.

"She'd slap me so I'd slap her maybe once or twice. We had a few public arguments in bars; it was a pretty common thing. She'd go into a rage over something(I'd slap her and five minutes later everything was OK." A veteran Philadelphia policeman was suspended from the force yesterday after he was arrested and charged with stealing an automobile, police said. Policeman George S. Mays, 37, a 12-year member of the force assigned to the gang control division, was arrested at 12:50 p.m.

Police gave the following account: Police received a call from a Murder hotline Anoeiated Press PITTSBURGH A telephone hotline has been established by police to receive information on 19 unsolved murders in Allegheny County.

The expedition was a joint operation by the university and the British Museum's Sir Leonard Woolley between 1922 and 1934.

He asked the Authority to replace Chernock with a builder "who has a better track record and a notoriety other than that of being the son of a councilwoman." Authority chairman Peter D.

Car-lino said the board was not influenced by Chernock's relatives. He said the board had made efforts, including a lawsuit, to force Chernock to start on the projects. Resolutions adopted by the board yesterday extended the deadline for completing construction on the houses. If Chernock does not obtain financing within six months and begin construction within 18 months, the Authority will take steps to reclaim the properties. After the meeting, other members of the Civic Association said Robb's accusations were his own and were not representative of the association.

Councilwoman Chernock said she had never visited or phoned the redevelopment offices and had disqualified herself from council matters affecting the general neighborhood. "I have never contacted the Authority on behalf of my son," she said. "I've always felt that if he can't make it on his own in that business, he should get out of it." Chernock said his projects had been delayed because neighborhood organizations had opposed his plans vigorously. "It's a totally ridiculous charge for (Robb) to make," Chernock said.
