The article concluded: "The training of teachers has to proceed at a pace unrelated to the current demand for teachers."

lesler, Kenneth Oslermiller LI ft hSSS. Jit' I The worlds most popular ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Two summers ago, educators at Syracuse University tried to discourage juniors and seniors from continuing their training to become elementary school teachers. The job market is very tight, the educators said in a letter to every upperclass student enrolled in the program, and the student might want to consider switching to another field. "It didn't deter many of them," a spokesman for the Education Department at Syracuse University lamented this week.

"Few students followed the suggestion." The job market continues to be tight for teachers in New-York State, and the special Fleischmann Commission says the problem is going to get worse. If the trend continues, said the commission, there will be twice as many teachers as jobs by the 1980s. The commission, which recenUy completed a three-year study of educational policy and financing, recommended a 50 per cent reduction in undergraduate education programs. Educators are hesitant about taking that drastic a step, however. "Perhaps we should move to reduce teacher enrollment," said Chancellor Ernest L.

Boy-er of the State University. "It's not smart to ignore the manpower realities. But how do we adjust to it?" Boyer and others doubt the value of a unilateral reduction in enrollment. "This is not Russia," said Boyer in an interview, "we don't tell people they have to train for the jobs that are needed." A spokesman for the university put it another way: "We will counsel the student, but we won't stop them. We don't want to force curriculums on a student." Vincent Gazzetta, director of teacher education certification in the State Education Department, adds: "Do we have a right to limit a student choice?" Besides the questionable value of limiting student choice, Boyer sees two other difficulties.

"We're not that wise in determining opportunities," he said. Boyer noted that a few years ago engineers were said to be overly plentiful. Engineering programs were trimmed and now there is reported to be a shortage of engineers. In addition, he said, "there is the problem of quickly changing the academic landscape." In other areas, it may be impossible to immediately slash the established education departments. What happens to tenured professors, for example, or the facilities.

For the State University, this is a very real problem, because Christmas Qub 2 ri 40 per cent of its students are in teacher education programs. Educators agree that the surplus does not extend to all fields. The consensus is that a vast oversupply exists of elementary school, English, history, geography and social science teachers. But there is a short supply in some areas of teachers for the handicapped and the retarded, media specialists, librarians, school psychologists, industrial arts teachers, bilingual teachers, shorthand and typing teachers. Distribution of teachers across the state also is a factor.

In an established area, teachers may not be needed. In a newly developed area, teachers may be required for new schools. "We're always discovering the wheel," said Paul Dupris, assistant superintendent of the Third Supervisory District in Suffolk County, which helps 18 school districts. At the State University at Albany and some other state teachers colleges, students are discouraged from continuing their training in fields that already are crowded. Some deans of education report that students are picking up additional training in subjects where there is a need, such as in the teaching of the handicapped and the retarded.

On the broader front, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, is mobilizing to prevent what was termed "shortsighted" efforts to cut back on education schools. "The use of linear programming for solving the teacher supply and demand problem," complained an article in a recent publication by the association, "must assume that the teacher is a single-purpose machine, able to perform the job for which she has been trained and, further, that it is possible to specify the jobs that need doing and to program the production of teachers to fit future personnel requirements."

BtBDtO CtMIIUi WISW. 1 CHARGE IT at HESSELSON'S HEROIN PLOT Six men were held without bail Thurs day after their arrest on charges connected with an alleged plot to smuggle nearly 800 pounds of heroin into the United States from Europe or South America. The six are among 16 defendants in a federal indictment filed Wednesday. They are: Benjamin Rodriguez, 43, of Great Neck, N.Y.; Eduardo Arroyo. 32.

Louis Fragliossi, 36, and Frank Vispisiano, 33, and Rafael Gonzales, 24, all of Manhattan, and Carles Sanchez, 37, of the Bronx. The indictment, charging a conspiracy since May 1. 1971, including getting 60 kilograms of heroin aboard the Morrracaltair, a vessel that was to sail last September for New York from Buenos Aires. The narcotics reportedly were intercepted in Buenos Aires. HOUSE BLOWN A Glens Falls house was blown to pieces and a woman killed Thursday when a nearby gas line apparently was struck by a power shovel, State Police said.

Found in the rubble was the body of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth St. John, 56, who lived in the frame, two-story house. Her husband Brune was not reported injured. The operator of the shovel, digging a hole for a water line, was burned in the explosion and was hospitalized.

He was not identified immediately. Voting stations throughout the country reported a slow and reluctant vote despite the calls for change by all three main political parties. Few expected the turnout to reach 60 per cent. The counting of votes will begin Friday morning. President Eamon de Valera, 90 years old and almost blind, was among the first to deposit his two ballots.

The president, who drafted the constitution with the help of a former archbishop of Dublin, voted at a school near his residence in Dublin's Phoenix Park. Despite his age he still is sharp of mind and keeps up a steady round of public appearances no matter what the weather. In Cork, a big "yes" vote would be a form of censure of the region's bishop, the Most Rev. Con Lucey. Bishop Lucey recently closed down a marriage guidance clinic that was handing out advice on birth control.

His action brought considerable criticism from the laity and the medical profession. Star-Gazette Postal Information and Subscription Rates Published every day except Sunday Etmira Star-Gazette JOI Baldwin Elmira, Y. UWJ. Subscription rates: First and second postal lones, 1 year. 13.

Second class postage paid at Elmira DUBLIN IAP) The Irish turned out meagerly for a national referendum Thursday on whether to lower the voting age and end Ireland's special recognition of the Reman Catholic Church. The government invited the people to "vote yes for a new Ireland." By the light voting, it appeared a great many of Ireland's 1,783,604 electors were quite content with the old Ireland. At issue were two amendments to the constitution of 1937. One would remove from the constitution an article providing a "special position" for the Roman Catholic Church as guardian of the faith of 95 per cent of the people. The second would lower the voting age from 21 to 18.

Actually, the constitution's Article 44 regarding the Church has little significance nowadays. It says: "The state recognizes the special position of the Holy Catholic and Apostolic and Roman Church as the guardian of the faith professed by the great majority of the people." Some legal opinion holds the article is invalid anyway in the light of constiutional guaran-. tees of freedom of conscience and of religious choice. In one sense the referendum is something of a popularity poll for Prime Minister Jack Lynch. He has made the campaign a personal appeal to the voter, with frequent spots on television and radio.

Lynch argues that Article 44 has been used as a propaganda weapon by opponents of a united Ireland. Those opponents are the great majority of Protestants in British-ruled Northern Ireland, who have long contended that the Dublin government is a puppet of the Vatican. The Roman Catholic Church has remained officially neutral on the issue. Some priests have been urging "yes," others "no." Events'' ARE OPEM-'TILnang li 0 0 BLACK CHURCHMAN A gentlemannered black churchman, the Rev. W.

Sterling Cary of New York, was elected Thursday to the presidency of a newly reorganized National Council of Churches. His election by delegates of most of the nation's major Protestant, and Orthodox denominations came near the close of the council's triennial general assembly, its ninth and last. A new, more inclusively representative but smaller governing board, meeting more frequently, is to replace the larger, mire loosely composed body. I AUTO PRODUCTION Automobile production in the United States this week set another high for the year while falling just 6,000 units short of the all-time weekly record, according to the latest issue of Automotive News, the trade journal said U.S. auto makers were scheduled to complete 216,857 cars, a 17.5 per cent increase over the 184,541 autos produced last year at this time.

Production last week totaled 214.308. The weekly record of 222,600 was set in early December, 1964. The high production week was expected to bring the total of automobiles produced so far this year to 8,386,934 or 1.5 per cent more than for the comparable 1971 period. MIDDLE EAST A compromise was reached in the U.N. General Assembly on Thursday on a resolution asking the Security Council "to take appropriate steps" toward a Middle East peace settlement.

Britain, Belgium, France, Italy and Luxembourg put forward amendments to balance and soften the resolution. They were accepted by the 19 nonaligned sponsors. The amendments eliminated two provisions. These were a call for "the immediate and unconditional withdrawl of Israel from the Arab territories occupied'' in the 1967 war and an invitation to U.N. members "to refrain from providing Israel with assistance which aims at enabling it to sustain" the occupation.

DEMO'S MEET Democratic National Committee members opened a crucial three days of meetings Thursday with no indication that a compromise is possible in the bitter fight over the party chairmanship. Showdown votes are expected to come Saturday between incumbent chairman Jean Westwood and former party treasurer Robert Strauss of Texas, who is trying to oust her with the backing of party conservatives and moderates. The Strauss camp claimed it was gaining ground with 102 firm votes, out of the 105 majority it would take either to oust Mrs. Westwood or to elect Strauss.
