The 23-year-old Pardue, who has already been through one competency hearing, will havt another Thursday before U.S. District Judge Robert C. Zam-pono in New Haven.

In December of last year, Judge Zampano found Pardue mentally incompetent to stand trial, because he "was not sane enough to understand the nature of of the Faster Jet Planned the new plane, which will travel at just below the speed of sound and carry 200 people, may look like.

SASSON Eight men from Hartford's Revitalization Corps this week tried to convince the Newport, R.I., City Council that canceling the Newport Folk Festival scheduled for mid-July would contribute to a national mood of polarization and division. Corps Director Edward T. (Ned) Coll and seven members Hartford's black and Puerto Rican community leaders asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Friday to stop the take-over of Channel 18 television by a California-based religious group. The leaders contend the religious group, Faith Center of Glendale, would violate FCC regulations by neglecting the problems, needs and interests of the city's minority community in the programming it plans for Channel 18, WHCT, Hartford's oldest television station. William Finley, Faith Center's business representative in Hartford, said Friday he would withhold comment on the charges by the community leaders until he had read their petition.

RKO General owner of the money-losing station, donated Channel 18 to Faith Center in May, after no one came forward to buy the station at an asking price of $2 million. Faith Cen ter, a church corporation asso' ciated with the Assembly of God denomination, has said it will operate the station as a nonprofit outlet for fundamental unnstian, inspirational o- grammuig. Petition Filed The petition to deny the takeover was filed Friday with the FCC in Washington, D.C., on behalf of George Foster-Bey, co-chairman of the Hartford Communications Committee; Phillip Morrow, executive director of the Poor People's Federation; Jose Cruz of La Case de Puerto Rico; John Wilson, executive director of the South Arsenal Neighborhood Development and William Brown of the Urban League of Greater Hartford. The Hartford Communications Committee, formed about seven months ago, has been meeting with representatives of the broadcast media to encourage responsiveness to the minority community. The FCC, meanwhile, has been reviewing the application of RKO General to transfer the Hartford television station to Faith Center.

Under federal regulations, the FCC must ask if there are any challengers when a television or radio station changes hands. In their 51-page petition to the FCC, the community leaders outlined their objections to the changes in programming for ard of State Files Suit Over Fair Hearing Denial A 15-year-old New Haven girl, a ward of the state, is suing because she wants her welfare payments to include the rental of a piano and a deposit on a telephone. Miss Nancy Moler recently filed suit against State Welfare Commissioner Henry C. White through Stephen W. Leermak-ers, her guardian in the case.

She claims she was denied "a fair hearing" on her request for the piano and telephone. The suit was filed in New Haven's U.S. District Court by her attorney, Roger E. Koontz of the Legal Assistance Association. In an affidavit, attached to the legal papers.

Miss Moler claims she receives $25 per week from the welfare department to pay for her rent, food, transportation and other expen ses. This stipend would not allow her to pursue her musical interests, nor have a telephone. of its Men's Club went to Newport Tuesday night after reading of the rampaging crowds that overran Festival Field and forced cancellation of the Newport Jazz Festival last weekend. Coll and his men attended a council hearing with about 200 Newport residents on Wednesday and offered to supply as imany marshals as necessary According to the writ, Miss Moler was denied the additional aid on April 2 by her case worker. Later, when she complained, a welfare employe re-protedly et a date for a hearing but within days, another employe ruled no hearings were allowed for a minor child on welfare.

Finally, a lawyer representing Miss Moler contacted Commissioner White. In a letter answering the complaint, the commissioner wrote that there's no statute compelling him to give Hiss Moler a hearing. He said the lawyer could either seek relief in the State Legislature or could sue him. Now Miss Moler is suing to allow all child welfare recipitents the right to a fair hearing, as is required with their adult counterparts. She claims the present welfare practice discriminates against her simply because she is.

a minor. He also said the new policy gives the public better protection because there have been cases when drivers with "limited licenses" violated the restrictions and were uninsured. Women Fliers Await Decision On Derby Winner By GEORGE E. CREED It is always advisable to read all the printed material that comes with garden sprays and dusts. These warn you of their toxic qualities as well as telling you how to use them to best ad vantage.

It is also strongly urged that you keep them well away from the hands of children. Many of them are poison ous and they should always be treated as such. One way to do this is to build a cabinet info which you can fit all of your garden insecticides, herbicides and fungus control chemicals. A cabinet of this kind has two distinct advantages: 1. It keeps your garden chemicals out of the reach of children.

2. It makes it easy for you to put your hands on any particular preparation without having to look around for it in a jumble of other equipment that is usually found in the normal garage. The cabinet illustrated is am ple to accommodate a consider able number of sprays and Price Rise Urged For Hunters WASHINGTON (AP) In an effort to save vanishing wildlife, the government is asking that hunters and archers pay more for their sport Dr. Joseph P. Lmduska, as sociate director of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, said Friday the agency favors boosting the price of migratory waterfowl stamps from $3 to $5 and imposing an 11 per cent ex-j cise tax on sales of arcnery charges against him and to aid in his own defense." He was then sent back to Springfield, Mo.

medical center to undergo further psychiatric observations and tests. The judge must now rule whether the further studies of Pardue have a ng psychiatrists' opinions as to his competency. James is the brother of John Russell Pardue, 29, who died of wounds suffered in attempting to escape deputy U.S. Marshals, while he was on trial for the Danbury case in federal court at Bridgeport. Mrs.

Nancy Pardue, John's wife, pleaded guilty recently to charges she aided in her husband's attempted escape, and now faces a maximum of 40 years in prison. The Pardue brothers were arrested by the FBI March 7, 1969, and charged with the bombings and a $26,000 bank robbery in Danbury a month earlier. Before John Pardue died, the FBI said he confessed to the murders of his father, grandmother and two alleged bank robbers; and also admitted his part in at least five bank robberies. The FBI announcement never mentioned whether John confessed to his allged part in the Danbury incidents.

Your cabinet may turn out to be much smaller or even larger than the one shown.

Measure each box, bottle and bag and design shelf heights and depths to fit the largest of these. In addition, it is well to allow for expansion. Make the shelves ample in height and depth so that each chemical may be reached without difficulty. A cabinet such as that described here should be well be- lyond a child's easy reach and, 'as indicated, you should keep it locked at all times. The cabinet shown can be placed along wall of your garage and supported on steel brackets of ample Size.

Or, as an alternative, you can make the back of the cabinet out of one inch lumber and fasten it to a wall with screws. Since garden chemicals deteriorate with age it would be advisable to keep a list of all of them you have in your cabinet and the dates when you ac-quried them. You could tack this list to the back of one of the doors of the cabinet. Questions Answers Q. In planting some petunia seeds last spring I found that they were so fine I had difficul ty in getting good distribution.

How can I remedy this? A. Mix them with fine dry sand. This will give you better distribution the next time you sow them. Q. Is there anything wrong with applying lime and fertilizer to a lawn at the same time? Apply the lime at least a week before you apply 'the fertilizer.

However, Coll said Thurday, the council appeared to have made up its mind and voted 5 to 2 against allowing the folk mu sic performances. But Coll said, he received ver bal assurances from Newport officials that Revitalization Corps volunteers will be consi dered for use as marshals if the jazz festival is presented next year.

Moreover, he said, the response to the corps from Newport City officials and residents made him decide to begin another chapter in the Rhode Island city. In addition to Hartford, there are corps chapters in Denver, Newark, N. New Haven, Watts and Harlem. Coll said he will start next week to organize the Newport chapter. "We are fighting polarization and division," Coll said, asserting that these moods are prevalent throughout the country.

"Most of the fears of the middle class are based on a basic feeling that any large public gathering will end in a disaster." Coll said he discovered the same fears in the Hartford area when the corps sponsored "The American Bridge," a gathering of city and suburban families in Bloomfield June 25. "The problem (in Bloomfield) and elsewhere in the country) is fear and people reacting to the fear," he said. "Fear is greater than the problem." At the council hearing in Newport, he said, the audience was pro-folk festival. In testifying before the council, Coll asked how many in the audience would be willing to serve as marshals at the event. He said Thursday only about 20 of the 200 persons in the audience did not indicate their willingness to volunteer.

"The town of Newport folded up out of fear," he said, i Acey Willioms a. member of the Corps'. Men. Club, said the Newport experience has meaning for Hartford.

The religious group wants to reduce news program ming by 27 per cent, local and regional programming by some 55 per cent and public affairs programming by is per cent, the leaders said. Faith Center also proposes to increase religious broadcasting by 500 per cent, they said. Atty. Sanford Cloud who represents the leaders in Hartford, said Faith Center's application "represents an insensitiv-ity to the needs and problems of Hartford" and specifically of its minority groups.

Groups Proposal He called inadequate the religious group's proposal to devote 30 minutes of prime time to community problems and 90 minutes of religiously oriented programming to meet the prob lem. Cloud said the station's to tal weekly broadcast time would be cut bv 56 hours from the schedule maintained by WHCT. Tha petition also charges Faith Center failed to contact representative groups in the city when it took a survey to determine community problems and needs and how they relate to media coverage. For example, it said, only 21 of the 100 citizens surveyed lived in the city. The FCC review of RKO Gen eral's application to donate Channel 18 to Faith Center could be extended for months by the challenge filed Friday.

The petition by the community leaders could lead to a hearing by FCC officials to determine the outcome of the dispute or the challenge could be denied outright. RKO's application also could be dismissed. The Hartford television station has been a money loser for years. Station officials have es- tlmated that total losses reached about $11 million from 1962 to 1969, when Channel 18 conducted the first pay-TV ex periment in the United States. And for the past two years, the station has been losing $50,000 to $60,000 a month.

The station is failing, station officials have said," because it has been unable to gain FCC ap proval for an increase in trans mitting power to reach a four times larger viewing audience Over the years, the station has been cutting down on program ming and laying off employes RKO. a subsidiary of Goodvear Tire and Rubber bought the station 1960. business in their retail stores and that the competition is unfair. Must Be Approved But any changes in the regulations that would limit the scope of clinic pharmacies will have to be approved by both the Pharmacy Commission of the State Consumer Protection Department and the Public Health Council of the State Health De partment. When the commissioners of these two agencies tangled in a bitter dispute in 1969 over the inspection of hos pital pharmacies, the 1969 Leg islature set up a compromise 'mechanism that requires ap-! proval of both groups to change jrules.

I Under this mechanism, proposed changes must be dis cussed at a joint public hearing of the two agencies. Then the Public Health Council as a iwhole and the Pharmacy Com mission as a whole each vote on the proposal. Unless both agree to a change under this system, it cannot go through. Any attempt to limit the use of clinic pharmacies will draw the opposition of both hospitals and independent clinics. Hospitals Restricted In Hartford, for instance, the local hospitals run pharmacies in their outpatient departments that are restricted to registered jpatients and accept prescrip-jtions only from physicians of the clinics.

At both Hartford Hospital and University-McCook, the list of drugs available is limited, pre scription labels are typed out in Spanish when appropriate, interpreters help the patients understand the medications and the dose orders, and the hospital pharmacists keep detailed Ipatient drug records to make jsure the clients are not receiving too many medications or 'conflicting medications from the various clinics at the institutions. In both these hospitals, the pharmacists also watch for drug reactions and meet with the staff physicians to discuss specific cases and drugs in general. The retail prices at these hospital pharmacies generally are lower than those in drug stores i iwo or tnree times less. Druggists Protesting Prescription Clinics equipment.

SAVE YOUR TREES FROM Motorists whose licenses have been suspended will not be given "limited licenses:" when their licenses are reinstated, according to a new Motor Vehicles Department policy. The new policy, which begins Aug. 1, is the result of meetings between the insurance industry representatives and state commissioners of insurance and motor vehicles.

According to Motor Vehicles Commissioner Robert C. Leuba, when the license of a driver convicted of such offenses as reckless driving is reinstated after being suspended, the driver must show a certificate of insurance proving that he is financially responsible in case of an accident. Leuba said that present practice is for insurance companies to send his department a certificate saying that "John Doe is insured to drive a 1968 Ford," or whatever car the driver normally operates. This requires the Motor Vehicles Department to issue a special "limited license" restricting the driver to that one car. Process Costly The "limited license" process requires special steps, outside the normal computerized operation of the department, and is costly, Leuba said.

"Every time the man gets a new car it means special extra paperwork," Leuba said. The new system involved agreement by the insurance companies to certify that drivers are financially covered for all autos as is the case in normal insurance policies and removes the need for "limited licenses." Leuba and Altermatt said the coverage will cost very little for the motorist and will save money and paperwork for the state. To Be Reassigned Leuba said most of the persons now handling the "limited license" paperwork will be given other duties. Some of the 12 persons will remain in the "limited license" work to handle ap-p 1 i a i for persons witli handicaps who are restricted to special vehicles. The motor vehicles commissioner called the old system "somewhat ludicrous in that thousands of Connecticut residents live been forced to suffer needless bureaucratic routine as a result of acquiring a different automobile." tr By DAVID H.

RHINELANDER Retail druggists in the New Haven area are protesting the development of two prepaid group medical clinics in the city that will provide prescription drugs to their members. The New Haven dispute is part of a statewide conflict between the owners of drug stores and hospital outpatient clinics that fill prescriptions for patients. The drugs sold by the clinics are usually less expensive partly because the clinics buy their supplies in bulk, provide only a limited range of medications that their physicians and pharmacists approve and do not have the added expenses of oth er non-drug retail activities. The two New Haven clinics will eventually have more than 50,000 members. The Community Health Care Center, a prepaid group practice founded by the Greater New Haven Labor Council and Yale faculty members, will have 30,000 greater New Haven membersmostly drawn from area unions.

Yale University is setting up a separate prepaid comprehensive plan for all students, faculty, employes and their families. Licensed As Clinics Both these facilities are being licensed under a new State Health Department regulation as outpatient clinics and both will have pharmacies to provide drugs to patient members. The community druggists want to limit the service of these pharmacies to as few people as possible. Druggists also are unhappy about pharmacies in outpatient clinics of hospitals and about the drug treatment centers, birth control clinics, health de partment clinics and other facil ities that sell drugs to their clients. Representatives of the Connecticut Pharmacy Association and the State Pharmacy Commission are looking into the creation of new regulations that would require walk-in patients to have their prescriptions filled in retail pharmacies.
