4 DELAWARE COUNTY (PA.) DAILY TIMES Febnaiy litl Move to Oust Conner in CHA Fails by 1 Vote CHESTER--The Chester Housing Authority voted down a proposal to dismiss executive director Lawrence A. Conner Jr. Tuesday night, and launched a review of a report on its own activities made by the Housing and Home Finance Agency. During the special meeting, Stanley Borek critized the efficiency and capability of Conner and moved for his dismissal. The motion, seconded by Mrs.

Carolyn Vaughn, was defeated, 3-2. Voting to retain Conner were scribed the Commissioners Louis K. Mutzel, and Jack Nacrelli and Albert Ward. Ward, chairman of the authority, instructed committees to review two sections of the HHFA's report. One is an operations analysis of the Public Housing Administration.

The other is an investigation report on the CHA. The analysis, a digest of con elusions and recommendations formed by the federal government's Public Housing Administration after examination of the operations of the CHA, is the first report by the federal agency since the consolidated review report of March 31, 1958. The report listed investigation results of allegations received by PHA with recommendations and comments on the findings. The special meeting Tuesday night was scheduled at the request of Commissioners Vaughn and Borek. Mrs.

Vaughn called the reports "disgraceful." Ward commented that the only disgraceful section of the reports was the area mentioning the condition of roofs in the projects. Ward said the commissioners have been stymied by the PHA for months in attempts to to tenants and the establishment of I painting program. The report indicated that the maintenance operation has improved but "is still not up to standard." The general appearance oi the grounds has improved, accord ing to the report. Conner explained to the board that the purpose of the PHA report Is to point out areas that need improvement. He said that the authority is "on schedule and meeting target dates" and scribed the operation as "sound stable." "I am willing to stand on the record and let any responsible parties compare the 1958 report with this one," Conner said.

He claimed that the authority has accomplished improvement since the previous report. The executive director invited tlie public to inspect the reports and reach a decision. Ward, the chairman, commented that it was his opinion that the commissioners who sought Conner's dismissal decided on tlie action before the report was obtained. He criticized the pair for not haying discussed the matter with him or with committees before presentation at a board meet' ing. Obituaries Abe See Death Pafe XI ALICE McG.

The board took the action at its Tuesday night meeting to gather facts in case Eddystone School District terminates its agreement with the Folcroft district. That agreement still has five years of its seven-year term to run. However, future placement of Folcroft's high school students has been in doubt since the Eddystone school fire in December. Board member Donald Stapleton said no decision has been reached yet on an alternate plan of entering into a jointure with Eddystone and other school dis Mrs.

Vaughn and Borek of "play. ing politics" in seeking Conner's dismissal. Ward mentioned that vast improvements have been accomplished in the operation of the authority since the 1958 report. He said that his purpose in assigning areas-of the reports to committees was" to have action on the recommendations received. 7 The chairman said that much of the criticism directed at the local authority in the 1958 report has been corrected.

The PHA scored the local authority in the 1958 report for inefficient and uneconomical operation. The report criticized commissioners for delaying authority business by haggling over details and jockeying for political advantage. In the operations analysis, PHA credits the local authority for having been "most cooperative in taking action on our recommendations and suggestions." According to the preface of the report, PHA announced: "We are pleased to report that Nacrelli, who arrived at the meeting just prior to the roll call vote on the motion asking for Conner's dismissal, called the move "politically inspired." In an explanation of his vote, Nacrelli scored the practice of commissioners "running to political leaders" about authority affairs. He suggested that commissioners involved in such practices resign their commissions "for the benefit of the authority." "I think this move is 100 per cent political and will have no part of it," Nacrelli said as he cast a vote in Conner's defense. Mutzel accused Borek of "trying to put a political bombshell into this meeting." Borek presented a motion asking for the suspension of Constable Edward Lynch on the basis of allegations that tenants had been required to pay excessive charges for collection of delinquent rent.

The allegations were contained in the investigation report presented by the PHA. Nacrelli spoke against the suspension until a study of the situation is completed by the author- tricts. He said there are no cost fig ures yet available and the distric has a' problem due to its status in the county plan. That plan he said, groups Folcroft with Dar by Borough, Darby Township Sharon Hill, Colwyn and Colling dale not with Eddystone. The majority of the board said it was in favor of keeping high school students at Eddystone, if straws in the wind.

Today his composure is a bit ruffled because, he claims, he has spotted a "pattern of delib- lies in an effort to confuse he public" in connection with a bitter fight he and three col- eagues on the County Republican Board of Supervisors are waging against Radnor's Albert H. Swing, another member of that body and a county commissioner. "In my scores of years in Re- xiblican politics," Duke said, 'I've always shied away from possible. The board raised the salary of its tax collector from $1,500 to $1,800 per year. The 3 per cent fee for collecting real estate transfer taxes remains unchanged.

The pay raise will take ef- much progress has been made in eliminating deficiencies and improving the efficiency of standards of your authority's management operations. Notwithstanding these achievements, there are still phases which are not up to standard and need improvement." In the analysis, CHA commissioners were commended for conscientious performance of duties "with, an attitude of public sen-ice and civic betterment." The authority was credited among the items of major improvement for having brought up to date various regulations and placing in the hands of the executive director the responsibility for carrying out pol icy "with clear cut lines of authority." The report mentioned that management and maintenance operations have been reorganized and centralized to provide belter utilization of staff but pointed out that certain phases of maintenance "require additional attention and correction." The authority was commended for completion of the annual examination Ojf tenants for eligibility purposes, improved rent collections and reduced move outs. In the area of fiscal management, the report mentioned that "great improvement has been made in the investment of surplus funds" and made notice of the establishment of a work order procedure, improvement in sales and services ity's management committee. He said the matter is under study and recommended that action not be taken until a review is completed. Borek charged that 65 per ccrtl of the tenants who have paid delinquent rent collection fees have been charged $15.

Nacrelli sug- jzested that Lynch be requested to discuss the matter with the committee. He added that the committee should consider the possibility of selecting another constable to handle the work. Borek withdrew his motion with the. stipulation that a report be received at the March 9 meeting. New delinquent cases will not be placed in the hands of the constable until a decision is made at that meeting.

Nacrelli claimed that the commissioners must obtain more feet when the new tax collector takes office--after this year's elections. The board lifted a ban on the use of the Folcroft school gymnasium for activities other than basketball and sock hops. The ban had been in effect since September. The board went on record as opposing Biagio Greco's applica- lon for a liquor license for use at 1542 Elmwood Ave. That address is right across the street from the Folcroft School.

"Because recently appears in the press an obviously inspired and completely distorted picture of how tlie Republican organization in Delaware County and the Board of Supervisors function, I feel it's time that I set the record straight," said today. He hammered hard on the theme that he and Cong. William H. Milliken Chester Mayor Joseph L.

Eyre and Springfield Commissioner Lawrence Williams are not conducting a i against members of the Republican Board of Supervisors. "Our rebellion is not even a personal fight against Swing," Duke emphasized. simply a policy fight based on our strong convic- GOP to Open Media Office The Republican Executive Committee of Delaware County announced today that it will open a permanent headquarters office in Media which will be responsible for conducting campaigns and handling day-to-day party business. Mayor Joseph L. Eyre of Chester, chairman of the Executive Committee, said that Fred F.

Duke, who resigned last week as Delaware County personnel director, will be in charge of the office as assistant to the chairman and office director. The new Republican headquarters will be located at 321 W. Front Street in Media. It is expected that the office will be in operation by March 1. He set forth the mechanics of selection to the board this way: County committeemen and women in political subdivisions pick their political leaders, and Hospital Continued from Page 1 their final answer before the present March 1 deadline.

The hour and a half meeting nded amicably, although it got off to a shaky start. Dresden indicated that Indigen care funds were needed by al county hospitals, not just Chester Hospital. He also said that $1 million collected for a capital improve ments at the hospital may be returned tojhe donors "if the daily adelphia. operations are not placed on a sound basis. Judge Sweney then told meeting: "If that's your plan, you have sunk the ship.

This cannot help but be a political issue. The party that raises taxes will pay the penalty at the next election. This building program is entirely too much for Chester Hospital to go into. It is not needed. It is time to call in the doctors on the staff and lay down the law--either they bring in paying piatients or get off the staff.

The board can better manage this hospital and cut down operating expenses." The judge reiterated his statement of last that the only way the City of Chester can help is through the imposition of a wage tax.

The bitterness which has arisen. Duke pointed out, has caused the opposition to "attempt lo cre- jate, in the public eye a picture of the Board of Supervisors as an autocratic, selfish group of political manipulators beholden lo no one.

That is a -vicious concept designed to smear a group of 13 men and one woman--Ann Huntr--who comprise membership on he Board of Supervisors.

"John J. McClure," Duke said, "does not dictate membership on the board. As an illustration, I was selected by Samuel Dickey, Republican leader of Upper Darby, the county's largest political subdivision, to represent him and Upper Darby on the Board of Supervisors.

"And, speaking of Dickey," Duke continued, "the opposition has tried to give the impression that Dickey is a member of the Board of Supervisors.
