Press and Sun-Bulletin from Binghamton, New York • 9

October 23, 1995 YORK Press Sun-Bulletin 3B Capitalizing on a spirit that didn't exist HYDEPARK (AP)- President Clinton is meeting Boris N. Yeltsin at Franklin D. Roosevelt's homestead, according to the White House, to "evoke the spirit of between Americans and Russians in World War II. But that alliance also evokes the spirits of suspicion, fear, deceit, jealousy, and misunderstanding. If Josef Stalin had come here, he probably would have brought a food taster.

Today's conference comes at a time when the United States and Russia are increasingly at odds over issues such as Bosnia and NATO. The two countries would like to revive some of the old wartime bonhomie a feeling, according to historian Thomas B. Allen, that never existed. "Cooperative? That word doesn't fit," said Allen, coauthor of a Random House encyclopedia on World War II. "That was a relationship that started cool and turned icy." It beat Hitler, but spawned a Cold War that killed millions in proxy wars and sapped the economies of both nations.

Photos of their wartime conferences suggest intimacy, but the Roosevelt-Stalin alliance involved almost no military cooperation or joint strategy, not even for the D- Day invasion of Normandy. The Soviets wouldn't let the United States use their Pacific ports against the Japanese. If a U.S. warplane wound up in Soviet territory, the Soviets interned the pilot, submitted a bill for his room and board and kept the plane. The Americans, Soviets and British played one off against the other and spied on each other.

When Roosevelt died in 1945, Stalin probably knew more about the topsecret nuclear Manhattan Project than Harry Truman. The U.S. sent $11 billion in war material to the Soviet Union, a contribution that Stalin once toasted as decisive. But he never told his own people about it. The acrimony wasn't all the Soviets' fault.

FDR foolishly promised to open a second front in Europe against the Germans in 1942. When he could not, Stalin worried that the United States and Britain planned to sit back and let Germany and the Soviet Union bleed ASSOCIATED PRESS A bust of Franklin D.

Yeltsin here today. 'The Place' was the center of FDR's world HYDE PARK (AP) In four presidential elections he never carried it, but Franklin D. Roosevelt loved his hometown. that is within me." he wrote the year before he died, "cries to return to my home on the Hudson River." Today, Bill Clinton and Boris N. Yeltsin will meet on the estate where Roosevelt drew his first breath and went to his final rest.

The hope is that some of FDR's diplomatic flair and inveterate optimism will grace an increasingly difficult Russo-American relationship. The presidents will lunch at the Roosevelt Presidential Library and confer in the long, oak-paneled family library in FDR's 35-room mansion. This is where Roosevelt tended his stamp collection, read A Christmas Carol to his children and waked his beloved mother. The estate, which Roosevelt's father bought in 1867, was named Springwood. But the family simply called it "The Place," suggesting its utter centrality in their universe.

Springwood's insularity was leavened by its visitors. Churchill came three times to plot war strategy; King George VI ate his first hot dog there; Huey Long showed up wearing a broadly striped suit, orchid shirt and bright pink tie. "Who is that awful man sitting at my son's right?" whispered FDR's very proper mother. The presidential library, the nation's first, opened in 1941. Roosevelt, who made the estate his summer White House, had an office in the library from which he broadcast several of his "fireside chats." The house today is almost exactly as FDR left it when he died in April 1945, a month after his last visit.

He willed it to the National Park Service, which opened it to the public a year to the day after his death. Ticket system saves Binghamton overtime costs Continued from Page 1B officer declares the ticket valid, the offender retains the right to a trial before a judge. appeal is rare, Correll said. Nearly 1,000 tickets have been cleared up since June, chopping the backlog in half, with only four or five trials demanded. Ticket holders move through a hearing room at City Hall's fifth floor at the rate of one every 10 minutes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

Once the backlog is whipped, one weekly session may be plenty, Correll said. Mary Lou Conrow, first assistant corporation counsel, set up the system at the request of Mayor Richard A. Bucci and the two city judges, she said. She did so under a provision of the state's General Municipal Law. Other communities, such as Cortland and Ithaca, have similar ticket hearings, she said.

"What people really want to do is come in and talk face to face about the ticket with familiar with the traffic situation," Conrow said. They may not be completely satisfied, but the process generally leads to payment of the fine. That seemed true with Jason Berkowitz, a Binghamton University senior who on Thursday appeared before Shores. Berkowitz was ticketed Dec. 7 for parking on the wrong side of Oak Street, where he was rooming.

He argued that university students were not adequately informed of the city's alternate parking regulations. Shores told Berkowitz the city had tried hard and certainly met its legal obligations- to publicize the parking rules. each other white. "I got along fine with Marshal Stalin," FDR, always eager put a good face on things, told the nation after Stalin agreed to join the postwar United Nations, "I believe he is truly representative of the heart and soul of Russia, and I believe we are going to get along well with him and the Russian people." Roosevelt never gave up on Stalin. He thought he could charm him, reassure him, convert him.

Even toward the end, as Soviet designs on eastern Europe were becoming clear, he cabled Churchill: "I would minimize the general Soviet problem as much as possible, because these problems, in one form or another, seem to arise every day, and most of them straighten out." He added: "We must be firm, however, and our course thus far is Roosevelt sent his last message to Stalin on the day he died. In it, he urged that there be no more "minor understandings" between them. That, in fact, had been a major dispute, and Averell Harriman, ambassador to Moscow, urged FDR to drop the word minor. The president refused. The alliance would collapse, but not on his watch.

In Memorial In Loving Memory of Stanley D. Seymour He had a nature you could not help loving; And a heart that was purer than gold; And to those who knew him and loved him, His memory will never grow cold. Love you and Miss you, Norma and family In Loving Memory of Loretta M. McPeek Berkowitz said he'd pay the $10 fine because his schedule left no time to pursue the matter further. In fairness to students who spend time and money in the city, the parking rules should be run in campus newspapers, he said.

A retiree who said a severe health problem prevented him from moving his car before it was ticketed last winter got a break from Correll. The officer said if the man mailed in a copy of his bill showing a hospital visit he said he made that day, the ticket would be dismissed. Correll said he rules for dismissal in about one in 10 cases. Even when he turns thumbs down people often for listening to my story, anyway," Correll said. The pre-June ticket backlog was so bad that the public was getting savvy to the fact that an innocent plea pretty much assured a long delay and thus a better chance that the case would be dismissed, Correll said.

System saves money Bucci said he's delighted the new system is working smoothly. Bucci backed the change, he said, hoping to eliminate the ticket backlog while reducing police overtime, which last year totaled $227,000. "There's no question this is saving the city money," said Police Chief Joseph Lynch. It's too soon to measure the savings, but police have had no overtime for ticket cases since the hearing system started, Lynch said. City Treasurer Peggy McCormack said statistics showed that the number of parking tickets issued in the city jumped to 31,691 last year from 18,636 in 1993.

As of Wednesday, 20,236 had been issued in 1995, she said. Statistics show parking fine revenues of $133,075 in 1992, $241,578 in 1993, $285,785 last year and $167,785 through September this year. A major reason for the ticket surge was an unusually nasty winter that caused the city early in 1994 to begin an alternate street parking system, McCormack said. The city was besieged by not guilty pleas leading to the ticket backlogwhen it began sending out delinquent notices to ticket holders, notifying them of their right to plead not guilty and have trials, McCormack said. Binghamton isn't trying to raise big bucks through parking fines, Conrow said.

The reason for parking regulations generally is to insure safe traffic conditions and allow parking turnover in commercial areas for the benefit of merchants and shoppers, she said. Other cities have much higher fines, she said. Albany, for example, levies a $30 fine triple Binghamton's when a car is tagged in a no-parking zone. Binghamton has these fines for other parking offenses: I Expired meter or meter feeding- $5. Alternate street side violation and left side parking $10.

Parking in a zone for the disabled $25. "It's a workable thing now," City Judge Matthew Vitanza said of the new hearing system. "And it's letting the public know the city is interested in collecting these fines and has provided a means to take care of them quickly." In heaven we know she is happy And as we go on each year; Please tell her, Lord. She is in our thoughts Although she's not here. Love, from her children grandchildren In Loving Memory of Loretta M.
