Bellmawr. Leaders Call Probe PATERSON (UPI) A grand jury probing last July's civil disorders here handed down its findings yesterday, bringing a Superior Court suit from civil rights leaders for a new investigation by the state on grounds the study was a "whitewash." The Passaic County grand jury took, three-months of testimony from policemen and citizens on the five nights of rock and bottle throwing during the July Fourth holiday weekend. Superior Court Judge John F. Crane impounded the panel's report to study it. However, a group of Paterson ministers and community leaders filed suit in Trenton and Superior Court here asking that Atty.

Gen. Arthur J. Sills be called in for a complete new investigation. 'Lacked Vigor' The suit said Passaic County Prosecutor John G. Thevos failed to act with "vigor and diligense" in handling the investigation which it termed a "whitewash." The suit said all those involved in the disorders were not summoned to testify and that persons allegedly attacked by police were not sought out for statements.

Several charges of police brutality were filed with the Paterson Fire and Police Commission following the disturbances. The suit said Thevos handled the investigation with a conflict of interest because Thevos' law partner, Robert M. Shavick, is chairman of the Fire and Police Commission which handies complaints against police. Judge Crane said he would study the panel's findings to see if its conclusions were substantiated by the testimony and evidence. Crane also said he will have Indictments drawn up against any persons named in the report whose actions were criminal offenses.

No date was set on when Crane would make the report public. Crane said he would finish reading it "as soon as possible." The grand jury investigation was ordered by Gov. Richard Hughes after he received numerous complaints from community leaders that police acted with unnecessary force in putting down the disturbances. more than 100 persons were arrested and dozens were injured.

"God definitely had a part in this," said Brian Steed, 28, from his hospital bed today as he told his story of surviving a severed arm in the middle of a lake then flying his seaplane to safety. The pilot from South Porcupine, said he was preparing to shut off the motor of his plane as it floated on a water lake about 60 green miles north of Port Arthur when he slipped off one of the craft's pontoons into a swirling propeller. Asks God's Help "I came to, I think, when I reached the surface," Steed said in a bedside interview. "I said a simple prayer asking for God's He said he didn't know then that his right arm had been cut off at the elbow by the propeller.

"I made a grasp for the pontoon. I was using my severed arm. I hadn't realized it was cut off," Steed said. "Finally it hit me. Luckily I was able to pull myself aboard with one arm." Inside the airplane loaded with fuel oil headed for a northern nickel company, Steed used a scratchy rope on his arm as a tourniquet to try to stop the bleeding.

"It slipped two or three times, then it stuck," said in a deep, steady voice." "I looped the other end around my neck and pulled my head back to tighten the tourniquet." Fatal Wait With blood "spurting all over the Steed decided to try to fly the plane off the lake rather than wait for help a wait that could have been fatal because he was losing so much "I was having a conversation with God all the time," the pilot said of the shaky takeoff.

With "verbal help" from Steed, the employe flew 60 miles to Port Arthur to get medical help. To Fly Home "They thought I'd need about six pints of blood, but it turned out I only needed two," the young pilot said. A hospital official said his condition was "very good." Steed's wife flew to his bedside a and credited his survival to his "tremendous will to live." They have two children. The young pilot said he doesn't know if he can fly again with one arm but he said his employer, Austin Airlines, has offered to fly him home to South Porcupine to recuperate. BYRON H.
