Friday, January 9, 1998 THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER City- Bt Vesthsr Weather conditions are updated throughout the day on Philadelphia Online. www.pMBriieinxoai Obituaries Jeremiah Shabazz, 70, former Nation of Islam minister, Ali aide Neal got a job offer, friends say syndicate known as the Black Mafia. He was born in Philadelphia in 1927 and graduated from Benjamin Franklin High School. He served in the Army at the end of World War II and, after his discharge, worked for the Postal Service and as a civilian employee of the Army Signal Corps. Mr.

Shabazz, who according to his family became a Muslim when he was 16, left his job in 1954 and began working with Malcolm to establish the faith in Philadelphia. In 1959, he was sent to 6848 him. He accused the media of using the crimes of a few to smear the reputation of the Muslim movement. The accusations against the mosque came not only from law enforcement sources. The late Muhammad Kenyatta, a black Baptist minister, spoke out, too, saying that "many of the city's Black Mafia leaders hold prominent positions in the mosque here and Minister Shabazz has said nothing about it." In 1975, Mr.

Shabazz was named head of the Nation of Islam's New York house of worship, and was widely considered one of the sect's top six leaders. Eight months later, he was suspended and reduced in rank by officials of the Nation of Islam. Unconfirmed reports said that officials, including Wallace Muhammad, who took over leadership of the Nation of Islam after his father, Elijah Muhammad, died in February 1975, were unhappy over reports of criminal activity in the Philadelphia mosque. Shortly after his demotion, Mr. Shabazz resigned.

But he continued to spread the message of Elijah Muhammad the rest of his life, his family said. "He disagreed with Wallace a family member said. Unlike Wallace Muhammad, who took the Nation of Islam in an orthodox Islamic direction, Mr. Shabazz "thought the work with black people in this country needed to be done in a different way," the family member said. Mr.

Shabazz died at Girard Medical Center in North Philadelphia. The Inquirer incorrectly reported yesterday that he had died at Ger-mantown Hospital and Medical Center. He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Shabazz; four daughters; and four grandchildren. A Muslim service will be held from 1 to 2 p.m. tomorrow at Choice Funeral Chapel, 2530 N.

Broad St. Burial will be in Chelten Hills Cemetery, 1701 E. Washington Lane. After the service, the family will gather at, Moody's on the Pike, at 6834 Limekiln Pike. Vaivriiiuflr asIB Mfaather Portland i- 4228 5 SanFrarjcisco 1 4 V.7.

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER Jeremiah Shabazz, 70, former minister of Mosque No. 12 of the Philadelphia Nation of Islam and confidant and adviser to Muhammad Ali, died of congestive heart failure Wednesday. It was Mr.

Shabazz, a family member said, who in 1960 persuaded boxer Cassius Clay to become a follower of Elijah Muhammad and to become Muhammad Ali. In the late 1970s, Mr. Shabazz joined Ali's entourage, and news accounts at the time refer to him as the boxer's "top aide," "administrative assistant" and "legal counsel although he had no law degree. "He was very close with Ali local Nation of Islam leader Rodney Muhammad said in a telephone interview. "He played a great role in how Ali came Jeremiah Shabazz: aide." to.be managed in his fight career." Mr.

Shabazz, of Mount Airy, was close enough to Ali that he was sought to provide information for a 1991 PBS documentary on flamboyant and controversial boxing promoter Don King. According to news accounts, Mr. Shabazz provided details in the documentary of King's paying Ali $50,000 to abandon the threat of a lawsuit against the promoter. Ali had threatened to sue King after the promoter allegedly shorted him $1 million for the "Thrilla in Manila" championship fight against Joe Frazier. was in Don's office," Mr.

Shabazz says in the documentary. "Don gave me $50,000 with specific instructions: 'Don't give this money to Ali unless he signs a paper dropping the Ali signed, according to news accounts. The anecdote was recounted in an HBO Pictures movie about King, Don King: Only in America, which was shown in November. Before joining Ali's entourage, Mr. Shabazz was a controversial figure as leader of the Nation of Islam's Philadelphia Mosque No.

12, then strongly connected with the crime Constance Jost, 46, an artist t. By S. Joseph Hagenmayer INQUIRER CORRESPONDENT Constance Jost, 46, a well-known South Jersey artist whose works incorporated fish and other marine creatures, died Sunday at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, from complications of leukemia. A Port Elizabeth, Cumberland County, resident for the last 15 years, she previously resided in Cape May. Born and raised in Vine-land, she was a 1969 graduate of Vineland High School, where she played on the girls' basketball team.

Ms. Jost's career was clearly influenced by her parents her mother was an artist and her father a fisherman, said Marie Losiewica, her life partner, Ms. Jost was' a sculptor and a painter who used molds of fish and other marine life found in southern New Jersey to create latex replicas that she then painted as accurately as possible. The replicas were then incorporated into sculptures and relief paintings. Widely displayed and often found in exhibits at the Rosenfeld's and Muse galleries in Philadelphia Ms.

Jost's works were often described as whimsical and comical. In a 1988 review of an exhibit at Rosenfeld's, an Inquirer reviewer called her work an "attempt to examine the undersea world by a process that calls to mind the conflict between natural forces and man's need to control them." Ms. Jost was a 1973 graduate of Montclair State College and apprenticed with New York City artist Patsy Novell. She received her master's degree in fine arts from Goddard University in Los Angeles. In addition to her life partner, she is survived by her parents, Carl and Blanche Stetler Jost; and many other relatives and friends.

A memorial service will be held in the spring. It was Ms. Jost's wish that anyone wanting to make make a memorial donation should purchase a work of art, no matter how small, in her name. Donations may also be made in her memory to either the Marine Mammal Stranding Center, 3625 At-lantic-Brigantine Brigantine, N.J. 08203 or to the Leukemia Ward, Childiru's Hospital of Philadelphia, 34th Street and Civic Center Boulevard, Philadelphia, 19104.

NEAL from 81 member police force. At times, Rendell has been effusive in his praise. And there have been unmistakable signs of progress in the department: the introduction of a 100-member unit of the Highway Patrol division to zero in on crime hot spots throughout the city, the addition of 100 officers to the Narcotics Strike Force, and the hiring of former New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton as a consultant. But the mayor's frustration has also been apparent. Last year, Rendell boasted that city crime had dropped 17 percent in the first half of 1997.

Then, when the numbers became suspect, he said it was "unconscionable" and "embarrassing" for the Police Department to issue misleading data. When it came time to award merit raises to his commissioners, the mayor gave Neal a 3 percent increase; he now makes $103,000 a year. In contrast. City Recreation Commissioner Michael DiBerar-dinis got a 9 percent pay increase and Parking Commissioner Rina Cutler a 10 percent increase. DiBer-ardinis makes $93,000 a year; Cutler earns $137,500.

All the while, the Police Department has faced withering scrutiny from a bipartisan group of state legislators and even from an important Rendell ally, City Council President John Street. Those critics have argued that the Police Department is failing to keep pace with its counterparts in other big cities, where crime is plunging due to sophisticated computer crime-mapping and smart deployment of police officers. "There never was a question we're not doing good enough jobs with the drug and crime problem," Street said yesterday. The latest bit of bad news for Neal came last week when the department released preliminary murder figures for 1997. The city posted 414 killings, and the murder rate had not changed from 1996.

Many other major cities reported declines in murders last year. In Los Angeles, for example, there were 566 homicides in 1997 as of mid-December, 143 fewer than in 1996. Still, Feeley said yesterday that rumors of Neal's departure were false. Feeley said the mayor had "hung with him all this time at great personal cost. There's no reason not to hang with him now." Neal's friends worried that politics may have been his handicap.

"He's been a good and decent man, and he's been very loyal to this administration," Mondesire said. "He's not a politician. That's his biggest failing." In September, Mondesire was part of a group of black civil rights, religious and political leaders who rallied behind Neal at a news conference in the NAACP's office in North Philadelphia. Then, Mondesire said Neal was being undercut by "political wannabes, outside agitators and Johnny-come-lately verbal crime fighters." The group warned of retaliation at the polls for political figures who targeted the commissioner. Mondesire said yesterday there are more pro-Neal "activities" in the offing.

He would not elaborate. Campbell, the head of the city's black ward leaders, said letting Neal leave would send a racist message. "Don't you know if you insult one black man you insult them all?" Campbell said. "Is that the way you reward loyalty and take care of your own?" She added that Neal's six-year tenure had been impressive. "How many rapists did they take off the street?" she said.

"How many drug lords have they put in jail?" Inquirer staff writers Suzette Parmley and Craig McCoy contributed to this article. Phila. man held in patrol's death By Jere Downs INQUIRER STAFF WRITER ORANGEBURG, S.C. A Philadelphia area man was held without bail yesterday in the New Year's Eve slaying of a South Carolina Highway Patrol sergeant. And prosecutors said they would seek the death penalty if they convict him.

A prosecutor also said in court that Bayan Aleksey, who had lived recently in Bensalem and Ridley Park, had confessed to police that he had shot the sergeant. Aleksey told a local TV station here that his girlfriend did it and that the confession was forced. Aleksey, 29, and girlfriend Glory-vee Perez Blackwell, 25, of Bensalem, face capital murder charges for the shooting death of Sgt. Frankie Lingard. Lingard was shot through the heart, chest, arm and spine after he pulled overa Mustang for speeding on Interstate 95.

Atlanta to spread Elijah Muhammad's message throughout the South. He helped establish houses of worship in major cities in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana and Florida. Mr. Shabazz returned to Philadelphia in 1972 as minister of Mosque No. 12.

Eloquent, congenial and a strong organizer, he "Top quickly built the membership of the small mosque to more than 5,000. "Under Jeremiah Shabazz, Philadelphia became one of the leading cities in the Nation of Islam," minister Rodney Muhammad said. "A great deal of history goes with Jeremiah Shabazz as it relates to the Nation of Islam. He was a tremendous groundbreaker and an excellent administrator." But the mosque was also reputed to be a center of criminal activity, with many of its leaders connected to murder, extortion, drug dealing, bank fraud and other crimes. Five members were convicted in 1974 of having murdered seven people (including four children who were drowned in a bathtub) who were members of the rival Hanafi Muslim sect in Washington, D.C.

Investigators believed that the killings were commanded by leaders of the Black Muslims as a reprisal for the Hanafis' having criticized Elijah Muhammad. But they never determined who gave the order for the deaths because the one man who knew and was willing to talk was killed in prison. Throughout, Mr. Shabazz insisted that he had never been engaged in any criminal activity, and no charges were ever brought against In the Region Carmin D. Fiumara Budd Co.
