Keep Walters Movement Is Being Pushed Veteran Endicott Trustee Is Urged to Run Again A movement to persuade veteran Village Trustee Kenneth A. Walters to seek reelection was taking shape in Endicott today. The 10-year incumbent of the Board of Trustees, who has held office longer than any elected official in the village's history, has notified Republican that he does not wish to run, but he has filed no formal declination. Leaders of a Republican faction said today they were anxious to see Mr. Walters in the field to 1 succeed himself, particularly after Trustee Walter E.

Crotsley's formal withdrawal from Endicott politics last week. No One in Field HITT HITT Mr. Walters notified Harry E. Stabler, president of Endicott Republican Club, of his retirement from active politics due to pressure of business. Mr.

Stabler said that no one has emerged to ask election in Mr. Crotsley's place so far. Mr. Crotsley is completing his second on the board. The third board member whose term expires this year is Trustee Stephen T.

Sedlock, now completing his first term, who has indicated that he will be a candidate succeed himself. Mr. Walters and Mr. Crotsley, both IBM executives, have worked as a team during the last four years on the board. They won the most serious internal party battle in the village's political history two years ago when they beat out former Trustee John Barron in a bitter controversy over police administration.

Republican party leaders said today that they considered it that Mr. Walters continue in his capacity as unofficial Republican majority leader on the Board of Trustees. G. 0. P.

He was a leader in the controversial move to install parking meters here. He has represented the opponents to public ownership in connection with proposed expansion of the municipal electric system, and he carried on a long and unsuccessful battle to persuade the village to extend Vestal Avenue to North Street as a traffic improvement move.
