31 THE HARTFORD C0URANT: Saturday, May 28, 1977 Firm Drops Plans To Locate in State Gen. Singlaub Gets Major Assignment Digital is experiencing cash managing its rapid expan- flow and overexpansion sion. problems aren't true. He Berube said Digital has said the company is properly never underestimated IBM. state, local and Digital officials have stepped up their activities.

Digital is a multinational company which did $736 million in business during the last fiscal year and employs more than 31,000 persons. The company is based in Maynard, and is the largest manufacturer of minicomputers in the world. Berube said Digital had decided not to build at this time the facility which was being sought by Connecticut. He said the state and Enfield weren't losing out to a competing site, but the project was being shelved by the company. "It would not be good timing at this time to commit ourselves to a Connecticut facility," Berube said.

Berube said rumors that peated and embellished his views opposing the phased withdrawal of 33,000 U.S. ground troops South Korea in an appearance before a House Anwid Services subcommittee. The general had to answer questions put to him by congressmen vsho summoned him to appear. But there was obvious fueling among some Pentagon leaders that Singlaub could have expressed himself more circumspectly. Singlaub was sacked after the Washington Post quoted him as saying the withdrawal of U.S.

ground troops on the schedule laid out by Carter "will lead to war." Announcement of Sin-giaub's new job was expected Thursday, but apparently was held up while Defense Secretary Harold Brown discussed the matter with Gen. Bernard W. Rogers, Army chief of staff. Some sources believe that Carter's statement that Singlaub would get a job of equal responsibility and stature made it virtually impossible to give the general a lower grade assignment. Rogers said that Singlaub, who has returned to Korea to take care of some personal matters, will move into the Forces Command slot on June 27.

The Forces Command Headquarters is at Fort McPherson, Atlanta, Ga. WASHINGTON (AP) -The Pentagon on Friday announced a major new job for Maj. Gen. John K. Singlaub, the man who was removed from a senior post in South Korea for publicly challenging President Carter's decision to withdraw U.S.

ground troops from that country. Singlaub will become chief of staff of the Army's Forces Command, its biggest. The command is responsible for assuring the combat readiness of 292,000 regular soldiers and 670,000 National Guardsmen and reservists in the United States. Army officials said Sin-glaub's new assignment is comparable with chief of staff of the U.S. command in Korea, a position from which the general was relieved on Carter's orders last Saturday.

The chief of staff ranks third in both major commands. The brief announcement of Singlaub's reassignment was foreshadowed by Carter's statement at a Thursday news conference that Singlaub would be given a job with "equal degree of responsibility and stature," to the Korean assignment. The Army had pretty well decided as of Tuesday night that Singlaub would be given the Forces Command chief of staff job. However, some uncertainty arose after Singlaub re Please send your tax-deductible contribution to: CAMP COURANT FUND The Hartford Courant Hartford, Connecticut 061 1 5 WE'VE MOVED DiPIETRO-KAY CORPORATION Bv JOSEPH M.

(DEC) has dropped "at this time" its plans to locate a major facility in the state. A company spokesman said Friday interest in locating in Connecticut could be renewed in the future, but he refused to set a time frame. Enfield, which had been considered the first choice for a facility which would have employed 1,000 persons to start, had worked with the state Commerce Department for months to woo Digital. Officials two months ago were optimistic that announcement of the new plant was imminent. Both Enfield and Commerce Department spokesmen said Friday Digital had indicated it could take up the state plan again within three to six months.

Richard 0. Berube, Digital corporate public relations manager, said Friday that he wouldn't set a time frame for a renewal of interest and he described the company's plans for considering Connecticut again as "indeterminate." The company's decision was based largely on "internal considerations," Berube said, and he refused to disclose specifics. Digital never had disclosed details of its site evaluations in the state and particularly in the Enfield Memorial Industrial Park. It is believed that Digital was considering a multi-building plan which would have totaled one million square feet of floor space. The facility would have begun with 1,000 employes and possibly grown to 2,000 employes.

Digital divides its operations into three major categories, engineering, marketing and manufacturing. It is believed that the company was considering marketing, or sales and service, for the facility in Connecticut. Negotiations between Connecticut and Digital hve been going on since late 1975. In March, Gov. Grasso and Digital President Kenneth H.

Olsen lunched at the governor's mansion and since then Not Getting Through A look of frustration flashes across the face of 31-year-old Robyn Everman, of San Francisco, Thursday, as she fails to speak to President Carter or anybody else at the White House. Representing the 41 America women at Santa Marta Prison in Mexico City, she wanted to speak to Carter to ask for his help in getting a prisoner-exchange treaty through the U.S. Congress. The treaty would ailow some 600 Americans to serve out their sentences in the United States. Carter had left earlier for a six-day vacation in Georgia.

Ms. Everman is serving seven years for a drugs-related offense. Behind her is Patricia Bartz, 26, of Milwaukee, also serving time for possessing narcotics. In her arms is Ryan Miles Packard, son of another prisoner (UPI).

"I'm coming back to my home as soon as I can," she said.

Mrs. Keeney, who was a head bookkeeper at Arrow, Hart and Hegeman Company of Hartford, isn't soured by the tragedy. "I can fight if I have to," she smiled "I can do everything for myself," she said about living alone. "I love living alone," she said. She moved to her present home about 10 years ago to take care of a sick sister.

Born in Glastonbury, Mrs. Keeney doesn't like to talk about herself and refrained from much biographical information because she didn't want to "sound important," she said. After the tragedy Thursday, Friday was a new day. "I'm 102 years, two months and 19 days old today," she said. She said her life has been as happy as anyone's.

"I have my ups and downs," she quickly adds. By CONSTANCE NEYER A 102-year-old East Hartford woman, who lives alone, has poor vision and is partially deaf, was sitting in her dining room Thursday night when a fire broke out underneath the back porch of her home. A woman, who was cleaning the upstairs apartment of the two-family house in preparation for moving there, ran downstairs to tell Mrs. Annie L.H. Keeney of the fire.

"Of course, I couldn't run," Mrs. Keeney said mat-ter-of-factly Friday. "I didn't believe it. I just got up and went out to see," she said. So, she grabbed her walker.

It took her two minutes to pass through the dining room and onto the front hall where she was greeted by rescuers from the East Hartford Fire Department who put her in a stretcher. Fire Marshal John Armstrong Friday said the house was heavily damaged and made uninhabitable. He labeled the fire at 403 Burn-side Ave. as arson. Mrs.

Keeney said Friday that she wasn't feeling "happy." rSAVE per gal. 25 S192S now io SHOP OUR PRICE AND SAVE! reg. price i FLOORING IS OUR OKLY BUSINESS WE HAVE TO BE BETTER!
