Belco GOP Expects to Stamp Out Democrats9 Toehold By STEVE NEAL Of The Inquirer Staff years ago Delaware County elected its first Democratic legislator in its history. Chester County voters elected a Democratic legislator for the first time in 60 years. But with President Nixon expected to carry Delaware, Chester and Montgomery counties Tuesday by a combined plurality of more than 100,000 votes, Republicans hope to sweep all 26 tegislative races. OF THE TEN ELECTIONS in Delaware County, only three appear to be genuine contests. In the 163d District, comprised of Aldan, Clifton Heights, Yeadon and parts of Darby Township and Upper Darby, Democratic incumbent Joseph (Ted) Doyle faces a strong challenge from Republican Harold Lockwood, 48, a Philadelphia lawyer living in Lansdowne.

In 1970, Doyle was elected by 142 votes over Aldan's Republican chairman. Moreover, Delaware County's Republican machine has contributed heavily to Doyle's opponent. Lockwood has made numerous joint appearances with U. S. Rep.

Lawrence G. Williams, of Springfield. A foUr-color postcard, picturing Williams and Lockwood has been mailed to district voters. Lockwood's background in conservation law has earned him support from many young voters. BUT LOCKWOOD'S ORGANIZATION may have damaged his chances by distributing a flyer containing distortions of Doyle's record.

"Our views are similar on most issues," Doyle said. "I'm sorry my opponent had to resort to such tactics." Doyle has received strong labor union support, is given high marks by the liberal Americans for Democratic Action, and has considerable Republican support. State Auditor General Robert Casey campaigned for Doyle in the district.

Bell looks like a repeat winner.

Bell's chief opponent is 44-year-old Robert A. McGinley who spearheaded the Democratic takeover of Brookhaven Borough seven years ago when he was elected to council. For the past three years he has served as council president. CRAIG LOIGHERY is the Constitutional Party's candidate and at 24 is the youngest of the trio. THe 9th District stretches from the county's western most municipality, rural Birmingham Township, eastward and includes the county's tough waterfront communities, and the populous towns along Chester Pike.

The action, to be filed in Federal District Court, will be brought by the Pennypack Watershed Association, an environmental group making its first legal attempt to halt what it considers "overdevelopment" in the hydrographic area of the Pennypack Creek. AN ASSOCIATION spokesman said the suit is based upon failure by FHA and the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act.

The act, he said, requires Federal agencies that must approve projects that have a 1 "significant impact on the environment" to submit studies and measures to be taken to minimize the effects of the development. Two major apartment proposals in the watershed, the association contends, have not been give the environmental review by FHA prior to mortgage insurance approval. "WE'VE BEEN meeting with FHA for six months trying to coax them into shaping up," the association official said. "We've concluded the course necessary is for the courts to tell FHA they have to live up to the act." The two major developments the association is contesting are the Blair Mill Village now under construction in Lower Moreland Township and the Ill-acre Fox Chase Farms development proposed to straddfe the city-Montgomery County line. "We feel the projects are in critical areas near the stream and will have significant adverse effects on the quality of the creek and land use in the area," the spokesman said.

THE ACTION WILL be brought against HUD, he said, because it is "one of the few, if not the only government agency, that has not finalized rules for determining when and how to satisfy the requirements of NEPA."

Darby By STEVE NEAL Of The Inquirer Staff Joseph L. Salvucci, Jr. is the antithesis of the typical extroverted, backslapping, township commissioner. But the inventive, methodial Drexel-educated engineer and Vietnam veteran is widely regarded as the most influencial elected official in Upper Darby. Salvucci, 31, is chairman of the township's finance committee, overseeing an annual budget of more than $225 million.

He has represented the 145h ward on the Board of Commissioners since 1966. He is a chemical engineer for Scott Paper. Salvucci had strong reservations about entering local politics. His wife, Peggy Ann, is a step-granddaughter of longtime Upper Darby Republican leader Samuel Dickey. Charges of nepotism and machine politics were inevitable.

"I didn't know if I could put up with talk like that," Salvucci recalls. IT DIDN'T take long for skeptics to realize Salvucci's capability. He was appointed to the powerful finance committee. In 1970 he became chairman. The following year he suffered a discouraging setback.

He helped to initiate a comprehensive recreational program, designed to cost $15 million over a 20 year period. "We anticipated that 50 percent would have been state and federally funded." The plan included improvement and acquisition of park sites, and construction of Continued on Page 7, Col. 1 Art Row Flares at W. Chester By CLARK DELEON Of The Inquirer Staff If you're an art major at West Chester State College start taking some courses in accounting because it doesn't look like you will be qualified to begin a career in art. In fact, the chairman of the art department has told students to transfer to another school if they are seriously planning to pursue art as a profession.

Art majors in their senior, junior and sophomore year were disturbed by the discovery that their undergraduate work prepares them for neither employment nor enrollment in a graduate school. Fifty of the 73 art majors at the college met last week to discuss their problem and organize an art association in an effort to make their education mean something. The students said the art department has the staff and facilities to provide a full art curriculum but, they claim, the chairman of the department Robert Dale McKinney has allowed valuable, brand new equipment to stand idle and has insisted on creating a penuncrory curriculum. VICTOR LASUCHIN, a graphics design teacher, said his room in the art building is a safety hazard because of space limitations and clutter. He pointed to a new $1,300 photographic plate maker which has not been in service since it was delivered during the summer because McKinney has not authorized the college maintenance department to hook up the machine to the 220-volt electrical current.

Lasuchin said he has requested McKinney in person and in writing to authorize the electrical connection and the installation of several thousand dollars worth of equipment which is now unused, some of it left in the hallways because of lack of space. Lasuchin said McKinney now refuses to speak with him in person and communicates only in memorandums. Lasuchin, who has been teaching at West Chester since 1969, has been given a terminal contract which he is appealing. MARJORIE VIGUERS, a 21 year-old senior art major said the problems in the art department have existed for more than a year but intensified recently after McKinney's statements concerning the career preparation offered by the art curriculum.

Mau presented his renaming proposal to Chester City Council last Tuesday and that group has taken the suggestion under advisement. "jackie Robinson was a credit not only to his own race but to all Americans," Mau added in his address to council. "I am sure affirmative action on your part would be splendid community relations with the heavily populated black comminity in Chester." Mau said he picked 9th street for the onor because it will be one of the main arteries to the Chester-Bridgeport Bridge when that span ia completed.

DEBBIE By RICHARD V. SABATINI Of The Inquirer Staff A "go-getter" business executive is waging a tough campaign in the 17th Senatorial District trying to unseat Republican incumbent Sen. Richard A. Ti'ghman. "I wasn't the favorite in the primary, either, but I won.

And I'm working hard to do it again," said John J. O'Connor, of Villanova, the Democratic underdog in the district where the GOP holds an almost 3-1 registration edge. The 17th is comprised of parts of Delaware and Montgomery counties. O'CONNOR BEAT OUT perennial Democratic candidate Jacob Himmelstein in the primary election in an uphill battle. But a look through the brightest pair of rose-colored glasses one could find still doesn't show much hope for him doing the same against State Sen.

Snyder's Democratic opponent 44 year-old Alfred Month who lives just outside Lancaster with his wife and three daughters, is not counting on one issue to carry him to an unlikely victory in this heavily Republican district. "Mr. Snyder does a good job of pointing at the problem but he never offers solutions," Month said, "I would hire professional investigators to look into bckgrounds of applicants to avoid welfare abuse. "I also believe in high taxes for conglomerates in order to discourage their growth so State Senate Race Eases for Stauffer SCOTT small businesses can have a chance to grow in a competitive market." MONTH IS an RCA engineer who thinks education is a very important issue to the district and state.

He was a member of the technical advisory committee for the formation of the Lancaster Vocational Technical School.

Snyder figures if he wins another four-year term in the state senate it will be on the merits of one issue welfare. "Any victory I would have would be owed to my stand on that one issue," the 62-year-old incumbant from the newly shaped 13th senatorial district which now includes 32 municipalities in western Chester County. Snyder, who has served 10 years as state senator from the district which used to be confined within the Lancaster County borders, said he has been "hammering away at welfare loafers" in his public statements and his constituents obviously love it. "THE WELFARE situation is a mess," Snyder said, mentioning that it is "incredible" how volitile a political issue it Testing for TB Slated for Pupils A program for administering the tine Test for tuberculosis will start Monday and continue through Friday in the School District of Springfield Township in Montgomery.

The test is required by the state Department of Health. East Lansdowne Borough has a population density of 15,171 persons per square mile. Its problem is that it doesn't have a square mile.

But the odds are growing worse each day against Democrat Walter Ciolko becoming the first Democratic state senator from the 19th district in over 100 years. THE 52-YEAR-OLD businessman is tha first to admit it. Battling a 3-1 Republican registration edge in the district comprised of parts of Chester, Delware and Montgomery countes, Ciolko got more bad news last week.

Walking into Chester County Democratic Headquarters, he found 500,000 of his campaign circulars unmiiled. "They told me they didn't have the $1,700 after earlier promising to mail them out. Worse yet, I had to go there to find out," Ciolko said in a rejected tone. "I had to start sending them out via committee peo- IT IS IN FACT, the Littlest League Field. They should change the rules so that anything hit over the fence is half a single.

The school library is as relatively small as everything else in East Lansdowne. Yet, it has a policy which overcomes its size and breaks down the barriers of smallness. If anything, it is big. There is no other library in East Lansdowne, yet the school district has opened its doors to the public adults and non-public school children included. There are believed to be only seven other communities in the state sharing school libraries, but certainly none equals in generosity the effort of the East Lansdowne school.

The major reason is that 38.8 percent of the school children in the borough attend parochial schools. In an age when non-public schools are suffering serious financial problems, East Lansdowne has gone way ahead in opening its doors to a partial solving of the problem.
