Richard Arlen, actor, dies at 75 LOS ANGELES (AP) Actor Richard Arlen, who appeared in "Wings," the first film ever to win an Academy Award, has died after a movie career spanning half a century. Arlen died yesterday at Riverside Hospital in suburban North Hollywood, where he had been hospitalized more than a month with emphysema, a family spokesman said. He was 75. Arlen launched his career with a role in Hollywood's first great air film, "Wings," a silent picture, which also featured Buddy Rogers, Gary Cooper and Clara Bow. His acting skills and manly good looks eventually led to roles in 286 movies and television shows, according to A.C.

Lyles, a producer and close family friend. Among Arlen's more recent films were "'The Last Time I Saw Archie," "Devil's Harbor," "Kansas Raiders," "Flaming Feather," "Hurricane "Blazing Forest," "Hidden Guns" and "Devil's Canyon." By RICHARD GORMAN Home News staff writer NEW BRUNSWICK Jake Bornheimer, a fixture as head basketball coach at St. Peter's High School for the past quarter-century, will not be returning to courtside this year. Bornheimer was formally notified Friday that his contract would not be renewed and the search is on now for new head basketball and football coaches. The Rev.

Terrance Lawler, moderator of athletics for the high school, and Steven Kalman, athletic director, said Bornheimer was not rehired for two basic reasons: school officials felt it was time for a change and because he had indicated earlier in the season that he would retire after the last game. The St. Peter's basketball Cardinals fought to a .500 season this year with a record of 14 wins and 15 losses. Kalman and Father Lawler said Bornheimer informed Sis- Fiscal chief replaced in state agency TRENTON (AP)-The fiscal chief of the state Division of Youth and Family Services, which was charged with mismanagement in a legislative audit, has been replaced. Jeffrey Weinstein has been replaced as head of the division's fiscal office, according to Robert Mulcahy, deputy commissioner of institutions and agencies.

Mulcahy said Ronald Kavis has been appointed to the post temporarily. Weinstein will remain with the agency, according to Mulcahy. Weinstein was hired as a "project specialist" for $24,038 a year by James Kagen six weeks after Kagen took over as head of the agency in 1974. He had worked with Kagen at the Addiction Services Agency in New York. Rutgers linguist will head group NEW BRUNSWICK Dr.

Joseph E. Laggini, professor of Italian and associate dean of instruction at Rutgers College, has been elected president of the American Association of Teachers of Italian.

The association is composed of 2,000 teachers of Italian in private and public secondary schools, colleges and universities in the U.S.

and Canada. He held the post of executive secretary of the association for 10 years before his election as president. offers classes for postcardiacs HIGHLAND PARK The postcardiac exercise program will begin at 7 p.m., April 12 at the YM and YWHA of Raritan Valley, 2 S. Adelaide Ave. The program, sponsored by the Middlesex County Heart Association and St.

Peter's Medical Center, will be offered eight consecutive Mondays and is funded by the United Way of Central Jersey.

The program will include a series of psychological support sessions for the families of postcardiac patients. Woodbridge firm wins EPA grant WASHINGTON The Central Jersey Regional Air Pollution Control Agency in Woodbridge, N.J. has received a U.S.

grant of $24,238 to fight pollution, according to Rep. Edward J. Patten, District 15, and Sen. Harrison A. Williams The grant, which will cover the period from Jan.

1, 1976 through Dec. 31, 1976, supplements a previous U.S. award of $72,715 by EPA. Covered by the amended Clean Air Act, the grant will enable the agency to maintain the air pollution control program in central New Jersey and parts of Union County. ter Patricia McCarthy, the high school principal, his assistant coaches and some parents at the start of the basketball season that he would not return for another year.

Based upon that, they said, they attempted in vain to set up meetings with him to finalize the arrangement. But Bornheimer avoided all of the scheduled meetings, they said, and would not attend them. He was advised in December his contract would not be renewed after Father Lawler and Kalman arranged for a meeting with him in the school and had to pursue him to the Lyceum to finally pin him down, they said. But, by that time, they con'tinued, Bornheimer had changed his mind and wanted to return for another year. In the letter sent to him last Friday, school officials congratulated him for his 25 years of service but cited several factors for not renewing his contract for 1977.

Among those were his earlier indications of retirement and St. Peter's change to a new basketball conference. St. Peter's played in the Raritan Valley Conference, which is composed solely of parochial schools, but next year will play in the, Bicentennial Athletic Conference composed of public and parochial schools. Yet another reason for not extending Bornheimer a new contract was the fact that the school's basketball program was not benefitting the maximum number of students, Kalman and Father Lawler said.

The school experienced morale problems this year with a number of athletes quitting the basketball program, they said. And, in the past, some students had transferred to other schools because they felt they weren't getting a fair shake in the basketball program. The school officials said the next head basketball and football coaches will be teachers who also perform an athletic role. Their second choice, they said, is someone from outside the school. Some 70 per cent of the applicants for the head football coach post are teachers or educators now, they said, and three of the applicants for the head basketball post have requested teaching assignments.

Bornheimer could not be reached, but his wife said he feels badly about the general "situation" at the high school. Sister McCarthy, the principal, seems to be engaging in a practice of removing older teachers or coaches his wife said. Bornheimer is at least third such person to leave the staff for this reason, she charged. Mrs. Bornheimer said the 48-year-old coach will retire unless he receives a basketball coaching offer.

Death records show Valium is a killer NEW YORK (AP) In a paper given at a drug abuse conference yesterday, Dr. Jordan Scher joined with those who believe the tranquilizer distributed and widely used under the name Valium is responsible for growing drug deaths. Scher, a Chicago psychiatrist and executive director of the National Council on Drug Abuse, said in a paper issued at the National Conference on Drug Abuse that deaths involving Valium have increased more than.400 per cent in Cook County alone, rising from seven in 1973 to 38 last year. Scher also said his studies showing Valium to be a major cause of drug abuse, drug overdoses and drug deaths parallel the figures of the drug-abusewarning network of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration. But a spokesman for Hoffman-LaRoche of Nutley, N.J., makers of Valium, whose scientific name is diazepam, said, "Dr.

Scher's figures are in direct conflict with all other scientific publications about Valium. There are 8,000 scientific papers showing the safety of Valium. Valium alone has not been found as a cause of death." Scher said the spokesman was wrong. He said some doctors prescribe Valium "as casually as aspirin," that 25 million Americans take it and about 15 per cent of the American population has taken the drug at one time or another. "Particularly vulnerable," he said, "are females, whites and the young, who tend to overdose and kill themselves in large numbers using Valium a as well as other sedatives.

one-quarter of those are intentionally courting suicide. Another one-quarter are mixing the drug with alcohol, or other drugs. The majority, however, just forget how many they've already taken, or else they've become so tolerant to the drug, they need larger and larger doses to achieve what a few used to do and they Scher contended that drug abusers favor Valium over all other tranquilizers and that 25 per cent of heroin addicts prefer it to all other drugs except heroin. New drug beats aspirin Washington Post-LA Times News Service WASHINGTON Motrin, a drug prescribed for arthritis, may be the first nonnarcotic drug that is a more effective pain killer than aspirin, according to results of a Georgetown University study. The findings are based on a study of 192 dental patients, aged 16 to 30, who had surgery to remove impacted wisdom teeth and teeth that were imbedded under bone and gums.

A group of the patients was given Motrin to relieve the often painful gum inflammation that followed the surgery. The results of the study were revealed at a dental research meeting in Miami yesterday by Dr. Stephen A. Cooper, assistant professor of oral surgery and pharmacology at Georgetown. Cooper predicted that Motrin could be the first nonnarcotic drug that is as effective as aspirin adding, "If PATIENTS DUPED Mrs.

Some of the patients were given a dose of aspirin equivalent to one ordinary aspirin tablet, some the equivalent of two tablets.

BERKELEY (AP) A moderate earthquake measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale shook the South and Central American coastline early today, the University of California Seismographic Station reported. The quake at 12:39 p.m. was, centered in the Pacific Ocean about 200 miles south of the Panama-Costa Rica border, the station said. There were no immediate reports from the area.

Every increase of one number, say from magnitude 5.5 to magnitude 6.5, means the ground motion is 10 times greater. Some experts say the actual amount of energy released may be 30 times greater. In populated areas, an earthquake measuring 5 on the Richter scale can cause considerable damage, 6 can be severe and a reading of 7 is a major earthquake, capable of widespread, heavy damage.
