January 1 1.19S1 Philadelphia Daily News 0 rzrn for What'lksBiSAsaToQs raw By KEN LOCKERBY Novelist George Orwell didn't predict it, but by 1984 it could cost a dollar to cross from New Jersey into Philadelphia. In the meantime, the 175,000 people who use the four bridges across the Delaware every day probably will pay 15 cents more for each crossing starting July 1. The cost of a commuter sticker would rise from $6 to $10, but the 25-cent-a-trip commuter charge would stay the same. If the Delaware River Port Authority's plan to finance expansion of the Lindenwold high-speed line is approved, the toll could rise to a dollar by April 1.

1984. THE AUTHORITY SAYS it needs that money as well as 30 percent more in fares by 1984 from the 22,000 people who daily ride the PATCO high-speed line to work to pay for lengthening of the Lindenwold line and to complete access roads to the bridges it con-, trols. Like the tolls, the Lindenwold fares will increase in two stages. Bill Lynch, an authority spokesman, said plans call for extending the PATCO line six miles to Berlin, improving access roads to the Betsy Ross and Commodore Barry bridges and improving roads between 1-95 and Aramin-go Avenue in Philadelphia. The authority was set up by Pennsylvania and New-Jersey to maintain the Ross, Barry, Ben Franklin and Walt Whitman bridges, and the, PATCO line; Part of its job is to encourage trade to come to the Port of Philadelphia.

THE ACCESS ROADS to the bridges. Lynch said, were to have been built by the states long ago, but the money was used elsewhere. The authority has agreed to pay $21.5 million toward the cost. Pennsylvania taxpayers will be asked to pay $21.4 million. New Jersey $17.5 million, and the federal government $85.3 million.

Lynch said the authority, because of inflation, also will need more money soon for ating costs. Under the current plan, tolls on the four bridges will rise from 60 to 75 cents 'on July 1 and up to a dollar on April 1, 1984. PATCO fares will rise 15 percent on July 1 and again in 1984. The current 55-cent fare will be 65 cents in July and rise to 75 cents in 1984. The $1.15 fare will rise to $1.35 on July 1, and to $1.55 in 1984.

Should there be more riders or less inflation. Lynch said, the 1984 projections could be low ered. THERE HAS BEEN talk of extending the Lindenwold line east into Burlington County. But for now it is more feasible to continue down the old Seashore line right of way. Lynch said.

He said lower Camden County "is one of the fastest growing regions in the country," and a new station there will help cut traffic to-. Philadelphia. The proposal will be submitted formally to the 16 authority commissioners eight appointed by each state on Jan. 21. The authority hold public hearings on March 24, Lynch said, and if anyone can come up with alternatives to raise the money, they will be considered.

Meanwhile, the authority has agreed to spend $60,000 to hire experts to defend the proposals. mmm i I Ml- Tllir II imiTlllll i Ljt t. Photoaphed by Sam Psoras From left. Dr. Julio D'Angio Jim Murray, general manager of the Eagles, former leukemia victim Babe Canuso and Dr.

Audrey Evans Sports Teams Champion Leukemia Research Warrant Out For Einhorn In Slaying ByDAVERACHER and KEN LOCKERBY Common Pleas Judge Paul Ribner this morning issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Ira Einhorn, a 1960s' guru charged in the killing of his girlfriend, whose mummified body was found in a trunk in Einhorn's Powelton Village apartment in March 1979. Ribner issued the warrant after Einhorn failed to appear at a scheduled hearing to discuss the readiness of lawyers to begin his trial, the date for which is still not set. Assistant District Attorney Barbara Christie told Ribner that investigators for the city's bail release program had been unable to find Einhorn, who was well known in the city, during the antiwar years, and who recently has been book editor of ELECTRICITY, a Center City entertainment weekly. WITHIN THE LAST two weeks two news stories about him have appeared. One, by a wire service, said Einhorn was in San Francisco and quoted him as saying there that he was innocent in the killing of Helen (Holly) Maddux.

And an item in the Inquirer yesterday noted that he had been seen in Philadelphia last week, his beard shaved off, his shoulder-length hair shorn. Maddux, six years younger than the -40-year-old Einhorn, had been living with him for some time before her disappearance on Sept. 12, 1977. Her parents hired a private investigator to look into her disappearance and the whereabouts of $30,000 she had inherited. In March 1979, with information gleaned from the detective, police discovered Maddux' body in a trunk in Einhorn's apartment.

EINHORN, who has been free on $40,000 bail, was not required to at-tend previous pre-trial hearings. Christie said court investigators had gone to the address he had given at the bail hearing and were told by neighbors that they had never seen him there. Einhorn's trial originally was layed because his lawyer had other commitments that lasted several months. By JOE CLARK It was a room of dreams. Big dreams, little dreams.

Some that came true, some still in waiting. But all the people who gathered in the Richard D. Wood Doctor's Club at Children's Hospital yesterday had one common dream: to lick a nightmare, leukemia. Representatives of the city's four major professional sports teams joined doctors and builders to kick off the "Share a Dream 2" campaign sponsored by the Canuso Foundation for Leukemia Research. Canuso.

"I never knew there were so many of them around." BUT THE "REAL STORY, the most important story, is the story of children," said the 40-year-old Canuso. Alluding to the Phillies' World Series win and the Eagles' National Football Conference championship, Canuso told the audience that "little championships, little World Series are -won everyday here at Children's Hospital." "My daughter was cured of leukemia right here," Canuso added, speaking of his daughter, who was stricken with the disease when she was nine. THE FOUNDATION, founded by New Jersey builder John Canuso, is selling 12,000 "door prizes" at $100 a pop that will be awarded at the foundation's benefit June 11 at Convention Hall. The prizes are 10 new houses the foundation acquired at cost from the Home Builders League of South Jersey and the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania. (For ticket' information telephone 596-91 11).

Last year, the foundation awarded five houses, but because the response was so overwhelming, Canuso decided to double the number of tickets and prizes. "We had to give back $100 bills," said Social Workers: Welfare Cuts Will Hurt Kids Juvenile Justice Center said angrily. "My question is, were there enough services in the first place?" State Welfare Secretary Helen O'Bannon announced the 34 percent statewide reduction, in July, a result of late reporting by the state's counties on how much they would need to fund child welfare in 1980-81, and a serious underestimate by the Welfare Department when it submitted a budget request to the Legislature. MANAGLNG Director W. Wilson Goode coordinated a feverish effort to reduce the cutback's severity and devise a plan to accommodate the agencies', tighter budgets.

Goode's commitment drew high praise at the meeting, but the panelists agreed the amount of the cutback overwhelms any plan. lems." Community Center official Richard Lutz said that "after the years and years of work we've put in (with delinquents), we're back to ground zero." "To put it harshly," Lutz said, "it will be to the kid's advantage to get arrested. Then at least he'll have someone." Curry, Lutz and about 25 others involved in social services talked about the cutback in a panel discussion sponsored by the South Philadelphia Conference of Human Services. THE CONSENSUS of the panelists and audience was "that the situation is bleak and growing bleaker. "They reduced our (rates) on Jan.

But that's going to change some for Curry, who works for the South Philadelphia Community Center, one of many child-welfare agencies hit hard by a drastic reduction in state money for child services. The center, which now counsels delinquents and "pre-delinquents" (runaways and truants, for example), will have to have each child it takes in approved by the city Welfare Department according to new criteria. THE CENTER and other places like it will no longer serve delinquents. They will be funneled into the probation system.

His eyes are set deep in a wizened, weather-beaten face that you immediately trust. Curry was talking after a meeting yesterday at the Family Service of Philadelphia in Center City about a subject that has been his life for the past 27 years child welfare. "IT TOUCHES down in here." said Curry, 42, in a deep, gravelly voice as he patted his heart with his right hand, showing the feelings of a tough guy who works with tough kids.
