Memorial donations to the American Cancer Society, Camden County Branch, 570 Haddon Collingswood, N.J. 08108 would be "The problems seem to be minor, but they must be taken care of before we let people move in," explained Rosemary Smith, an agency spokeswoman. Ms. Smith said such items as exhaust vents, mirrors, fire escapes and bathroom tiles were keeping the first group of 14 senior citizens out of the complex.

"OUR OFFICE has spoken to the contractor (Berlin Township builder Martin Ettore) and he has agreed to take care of the problems," Ms. Smith explained. The spokeswoman said Ettore was given the June 9 deadline because the agency had been having difficulties with the builder. Most of those problems involved a lack of workers at the site and late delivery of materials. "Mr.

Ettore has said he would increase the number of workers and would try to order materials sooner." Ms. Smith said. "But even with that, we doubt we'll be able to occupy before June 9." Ettore was unavailable for comment Tuesday concerning his difficulties with the state agency. Ms. Smith said that all apartments had to have exhaust fans installed before they would be approved for occupancy; that many mirrors were installed too high for elderly and disabled residents to use them; that fire escapes were needed before the agency would allow the second floor of the garden apartment complex to be occupied, and that many bathroom ceramic tiles were chipped and broken.

"BEFORE those things are taken care of, we will not let people move into the apartments," she said. Franklin Square Village is being rehabilitated from a bankrupt apartment complex with funds provided by state and federal governments and the Bank of New Jersey, which controls the bankrupt complex. Senior citizens have been waiting to occupy the apartments since last fall when township officials announced that the complex was completed. crime lord In 1969, Colombo was identified in the Congressional Record as a commissioner of the Cosa Nostra, as it was then called, and as a boss of the. former Joseph Profaci crime family, one of the five that control the bulk of the rackets in the metropolitan New York area.

In 1963, Colombo was said to have been assigned to kill the late Carlo Gambino, then on his way to becoming the "Boss of all Bosses" of organized -crime. Gambino was locked in a feud with rival mobster Joseph Magliocco, then heading the Profaci family. Instead of carrying out his assignment, Colombo went to Gambino and exposed the plot, which was said to have also involved crime boss Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonanno on Maglioc-co's side. Colombo NEW YORK (AP) Mobster Joseph Colombo, once one of the nation's most powerful crime overlords but a human vegetable since he was shot down in public seven years ago. is dead at the age of 54.

1 Colombo died Monday at St. Luke's Hospital in Newburgh, N.Y., about 60 miles north of here. Dr. John C. Bivona an attending physician, said cardiac arrest was the immediate cause of death, but attributed it to "long-term complications stemming from his injuries." -Although authorities said he lived his lifexMitside the law, Colombo died with a record of only minor convic-' tions.

Because of his semicomatose condition, a number of pending charges against him were dismissed after Jie was shot at a 1971 Italian Conviction upheld in fake blood tests By STEVE R0YEK Courier-Post Staff THE FIRST GROUP of senior citizens may not be moving into Franklin Square Village in Gloucester Township until June 9 and that date is not definite. An inspection team from the state Housing Finance Agency visited the 224-unit complex in the township's Glendora section Monday and Tuesday and concluded it would take at least two more weeKs to correct several problems with the apartments. dies at 54; American Day rally in Manhattan's Columbus Circle. The gunman, Jerome Johnson, 24, was shot to death on the spot by Colombo bodyguards. The motive for the shooting was never pinned down, but it was believed the Colombo death was arranged by renegade mobster Joseph "Crazy Joe" Gallo.

A Colombo crime family contract for Gallo's death was out at the time, and in 1972 Gallo was shot to death in a clam bar in Manhattan's Little Italy. The murder was attributed in a related indictment to a Colombo mob enforcer, but he was never booked. The 1971 shooting left the formerly robust Colombo, in the words of a court-ordered 1975 evaluation, able to move only the forefinger and thumb on his right hand. The "tests" included inserting a needle in the person's arm or finger, usually producing minor bleeding. In one case involving a woman who was approached by Crumedy at her he requested that she strip from the waist down and inserted a "silver ray machine" into her vagina.

The "machine" was nothing more than a flashlight. In an opinion upholding Cru-medy's conviction.

(AP) The atrocious assault and battery of a man who made phony blood tests on unsuspecting persons while posing as a medical examiner has been upheld in a split state Supreme Court decision. In a case described as presenting a "bizarre set of. facts," the court divided 3-3 Tuesday on whether to reduce the judgment against Ernest Crumedy Jr.

to simple assault and battery. According to court testimony. Crumedy posed as a representative of Blue Cross or Beth Israel Hospital and convinced his victims they had to submit to tests for cancer or sickle cell anemia. AMERICA'S NO. 1 MIXERS 28oz.

He was joined in the opinion by Justices Mark Sullivan and Alan Handler. In a dissenting opinion, Justice Richard Clifford called the conviction a "product of judicial overkill" and voted to overturn the appeals court decision upholding the conviction.
