Jeffords could not be reached later in the day to respond to Pollina's charges that he is avoiding a debate. James Hedbor, the Libertarian candidate, agreed with Pollina's assessment that the incumbent is try-ing to discount Pollina by ignoring him. "He plays a game 'Here I am in the middle of the circle with all these itty-bitty critters on the This is part of his strategy: Jim Jeffords and all the weirdos," Hedbor said.

Hedbor was critical of the poll, which asked voters only if they would vote for Pollina or Jeffords. About 15 percent said they did not know or were undecided. "What we don't know is if I'm ahead of Anthony Pollina. It's entirely possible, but we don't know," Hedbor said. "A poll directed at only Republicans and Democrats moves away from measuring the electorate and into influencing them.

Rep. James Jefford, R-Vt, by 62 percent In an afternoon news conference on the lawn of the Vermont statehouse, Pollina issued one of his most vociferous blasts yet at the voting record of Jeffords.

The poll, done by the Free Press and the University of Vermont, showed Pollina with few of the pockets of support one might have expected. If the poll is correct, it indicated Jeffords may be swept into office this November by a larger margin than some of his past landslides. Pollina, however, said after the press conference, "There's something very important that's happening out there, and it's different from what the polls are saying. Low-income people are not being fooled by Ronald Reagan or Jim Jeffords. I've seen how we empower people.

"I think this is the kind of campaign that's beyond polls. The kind of energy it's fueled by is not going to be dissipated by a poll. Jeffords' only agenda is to get himself elected. That's not our only agenda." Pollina, 32, a Middlesex farmer, teacher and longtime peace activist, is one of four candidates trying to unseat the five-term incumbent At the news conference, Pollina handed out a thick report on Jeffords' voting record. The report, conducted by two members of the Protesters Necessity From Page 1 would "not comment on our tactical decision" until after the trial.

Keller said the trial will involve more than the question of criminal trespass. "We fully intend to use our trial to put the Reagan administration's Central America war policy on trial," Keller said. "If we were to win on this defense, it would force the government to be more accountable." In addition to Clark and Berri-gan, other potential witnesses are Pat Donovan, mother of slain Catholic lay worker, Jean Donovan; David McMichael, former CIA analyst in charge of gathering intelligence on arms going from Nicaragua to El Salvador, Salvadoran refugee, Bren-da Sanchez-Gallan; Secundino Ramirez, member of El Salvador's Human Rights Commission; a professor of international law; and several authors of books on Central America.

It indicates that Jeffords missed all the votes dealing with Superfund hazardous waste cleanup, Pollina said, and that he endorsed the House's attempt to raise the age at which people receive social security.

Jeffords, he said, is viewed as a friend of the elderly, yet received a below average rating a senior citizen watchdog group. "He's not a leader in the peace movement and he's not accountable to the people," Pollina said. "We're talking about a congressman who spends a lot of time building up his image." Jeffords, contacted in the morning at his Burlington headquarters, said he was pleased and surprised by the margin the poll gave him. Contrary to Pollina's assertions, he said, he is still in touch with the voters of Vermont. "I've been up here every minute I haven't been in Congress," said Jeffords.

"I have a radio call-in show to Use Defense compelling case about the emergency that now faces the American people, and I mean both North and Central American," Keller said. Keller said $5,000 needs to be raised to pay the costs of bringing the witnesses to the trial. A direct-mail campaign, along with benefit dinners and dances and other events, is being organized. Those who will go on trial on Nov. 13 were 26 of the 44 people arrested in March.

Thirteen did not show up at the arraignment, and five have had separate trials. The protesters were demanding that Stafford appear at a public meeting to discuss his Central American policy. Keller noted that Stafford finally appeared at the requested public forum Sunday night, when he participated in a panel discussion on Central America. "He said he had heard some new and disturbing information," Keller said. "That's all we wanted in the first place." Keller said Stafford's statements Sunday "have vindicated us.

He did need to listen to us." "We're tickled pink ourselves," responded Kendrick Bellows, bank president. "It's a banker's dream equation and, more important, it's a dream equation for the city." The program, Sanders said, will benefit citizens of all income levels. Those receiving city-administered loans from the block grant money must meet income guidelines and will pay interest rates from zero to 9 percent. The bank is committed to lending $750,000 in the target areas using two of its existing programs, but without relaxing qualification requirements. The bank also will help administer some of the loans made by the city.

The Community and Economic Development Office contacted a number of banks to determine interest in the program, said Amy Wright, who will run the program. "We found that the Bank of Vermont was far more responsive than other banks," she said. The neighborhoods in which the loans will be made are the Old North End, the King Street area, the Chase Street neighborhood and the Lakeside neighborhood. Injured in Scuffle in Waterbury after the incident The assault occurred as Daily and Officer Mark Hebert got out of their car, Witty said. Hebert was in the scuffle but not injured, Witty said.

He said Lewis will be charged with assaulting a police officer. The program starts today when two trains, filled with government and railway officials, travel from Montpelier and Rutland to Burlington. The public can see the trains in Rutland, Montpelier, Middlebury, Essex Junciton and Burlington. "Operation Lifesaver" will offer speakers with films, filmstrips and brochures, with a special emphasis on drivers education classes, school bus drivers and children.

By DON MELVIN Free Press Staff Writer Burlington's Mayor Bernard Sanders signed an agreement with a bank president Tuesday that would make $1 million available for housing improvement loans in four neighborhoods.

The city will deposit $250,000 in federal community development block grant money in Bank of Vermont interest-bearing accounts, and the bank in turn has agreed to make $750,000 available for home improvement loans in the specified areas. In addition, money being repaid from home improvement loans made last year, between $8,000 and $10,000 a month, will be used to make new loans. Because much of the city's housing is old, rehabilitation is a major part of the city's strategy for easing the housing shortage, Sanders said. "The city is excited about working with the Bank of Vermont to increase our local resources for housing as we develop a unique partnership between the public and private sectors to serve the housing needs of our citizens," the mayor said.

Not reaporwb for typographical erroJ'l With increasing numbers of Ver-monters ignoring whistles, warning signs and gates at train grade crossings, Vermont's railways and a host of state and federal agencies are launching a public awareness program, dubbed "Operation Lifesaver." In Vermont, seven people were injured and one killed during the first six months of 1984. Nationally, 4,500 people are injured and 1,000 killed in train-crossing accidents each year.
