4, 1967 Bucks Official Surprised by Request; For U.S. Funds to Buy Mountain An application for federal to acquire Buckingham Mountain for a public park has caught Bucks County Commissioner Joseph O. Canby by surprise. In. a press conference after yesterday's meeting of the commissioners, information was given that' funds for the mountain purchase were included in the county's request for $5.3 million in aid from the Department of Housing Urban Development.

Canby repeated his stand of two years ago that he "has no interest in buying The issue stems from the county park board's intention to acquire 700 of the mountain's 1,100 acres for a nature preserve. The mountain is the secluded location of homes for influential and wealthy Bucks residents. They strongly opposed a county proposal to acquire the land through condemnation ceedings about four years ago. Since then, an agreement has been worked out so that the county is given a first option to buy properties when the owners are ready to sell. In arriving at the understanding with the property own- ers, it was emphasized the county would not launch any concerted drive to acquire the properties.

It was a piecemeal proposition, and part of a gentlemen's agreement. The fact that the county had applied for aid to buy the land was publicly disclosed in a political speech last week by Commissioner Walter S. Farley the minority Democrat running for re-election. Republican also seeking re-election, said he would investigate how the federal application was made. The signatures of the commissioners are needed in making an application, he pointed out.

I Mrs. Miller, also a special assistant to Ray Bliss, national chairman, spoke quietly and directed her campaign tactic briefing to women in the audience. She reported that women voters now outnumber men nationally and in Pennsylvania. Special Target Mrs. Miller said the national committee is devoting special attention to the 15th Congressional District, in which her audience lives.

The representative from the district is Democrat Fred B. Rooney. The 15th District was mentioned several times as special target for Republican efforts in the future. "Many women who voted Democrat now find that party no longer is the party they thought it was," Mrs. Miller said.

She told the women in the audience to take the opportunity to recruit new women party workers. She cautioned they should be carefully briefed, particularly with complete details on all candidates and party platform. Several times she made references to "the imbalance in which the nation finds itself today. Inaction by women can bring disaster. Well trained Republican women workers can bring the ethics, in' truth and morality needed the nation before the voters," Mrs.

Miller said. Campion, who spoke rapidly, emphasized his words with rapid motions of his arms and, hands. Seconds after he stepped to the speaker's podium he I knocked with his knuckles on the podium. "Knock on every door," he urged committeemen and number women. He warned that a of major elections were lost by small percentages because Republicans did not get out the vote.

In a GOP household, he said, the wife opens the living room curtains on Election Day and peers outside. husband asks what the weather is like. If she reports it is snowing little, the husband says the weather is too bad to go to the polls. "The members of our sister party go to the polls even if the snow is up to here," Campion shouted, crossing his hand in front of his neck. The panelists were introduced by Lehigh County GOP, Chairman Moulton L.

Frantz, Atty. Frank Barnako, Bethlehem city GOP chairman, and Mrs. Gloria Sherry Worsley, Lehigh County vice chairman. Frantz introduced the Republican candidates for Lehigh County and Allentown offices. Whitehall Police Seeking 7th St.

The report listed 25 rear-end accidents at Grape Street, 11 at Mickley Road, 11 at Fairmont Avenue and 6 at Schadt Avenue.

The commissioners were confronted by Donald Shindler, a Central Bucks trash hauling forts speeded up find contractor. F. He asked that eftrash disposal sites or to build an incinerator to be operated by the county. The commissioner indicated that incineration has temporarily been discounted. They agreed, however, to have their trash disposal advisory board review a new method of incineration advocated by Shindler.

Shindler will have an engineering consultant discuss the proposal with the board. He contended the new method would cost the county about $2.50 a ton, compared with the $7-a-ton figure estimated by a different consulting firm in a report recently completed for the county. The commissioners approved the appointment of Robert W. Brown, 30, as director of the county's electronic data processing department. An Abington resident, Brown succeeds Gerry Powell of Bristol, who resigned to run for election as a delegate to the state constitutional convention.

Brown, who plans move to Bedminster Township in Bucks, will receive a salary of about $12,500. He has been with the county since last year as a systems analyst after five years' experience in the same field with a Philadelphia bank and the U.S. Treasury Department. He has directed a study of the county's data processing needs and, last June, was named manager of the department.
