Ludlow Dayton 15101, Answers will be given only in this column. accomplice, J. Alfred Beaty, 43, of 620 Milburn North Dayton, has been charged with possession and sale of counterfeit money. He is being held in the Montgomery County jail under $100,000 bond pending on Jan. 6.

ANOTHER MAN, Billie H. Bowlin, 33, of 31 W. Babbit Riverdale, was arrested in connection with the incident and was charged yesterday with violation of the Gun Control Act of 1968. 1 Bohanan, 42, is survived by his widow, Barbara; two daughters, Darlene and Mrs. Terry Horseman, and a brother, Joe, SERVICES will be held at 2 p.m.

tomorrow at Baker Funeral Home, 5555 Philadelphia Drive, with burial in Forest Hills Cemetery. He was stationed In a room on the first floor to guard against any escape attempts. The purchase of $260,000 in bogus $20 bills was arranged in a second-floor room, Keiter said. "One of the suspects (Andrew Kriner Hoschar, 28, of 619 Willow North Dayton) became suspicious and pulled a gun on one of the undercover agents. The agent then shot him," Keiter said.

BOHANAN apparently heard the shot and rushed up the stairs, gun drawn, to assist. He was mistaken for one of the suspects and shot, Keiter said. Keiter said Bohanan did not fire a shot. He also said the agent apparently (Clem) identified himself. Hoschar, meanwhile, remains in serious condition at Grand-view Hospital i a bullet wound in the chest.

His alleged By William Flanagan and John Sweeny Journal Hergltf Start Writtr Vandalia Police Lt. James E. Bohanan ignored at least two demands that he throw down his gun before he was shot to death Tuesday by a Secret Service agent. Also, Bohanan was mistaken for a counterfeiting suspect by two other law officers at the scene who almost shot him themselves. These developments came to light yesterday despite the official silence imposed on details of the confusing gunbattle that erupted during a counterfeiting stakeout at the Ramada Inn Roadside Hotel north of Dayton.

It also was reconfirmed from sources involved in the Investigation that James A. Clem, special agent in charge of the Cincinnati office of the Secret Service, told investigators he shot and killed Bohanan after mistaking him for one of the counterfeiters. INVESTIGATION sources said that in addition to Clem, a Montgomery County sheriff's detective and another agent approached Bohanan and the detective "almost squeezed off a shot" before he recognized Bohanan as a policeman. Bohanan was shot and wounded apparently by Clem as he raced up the stairs to the second floor motel room where the gunbattle was taking place between two counterfeiting suspects and two Secret Service agents. He retreated back down the stairs and through a glass door where he was crouchd in a defensive position with gun in hand when he was shot fatally, again apparently by Clem.

AT LEAST twice he was told to drop his gun by an agent, apparently Clem, and by another officer before the final, fatal shot. Meanwhile, Sheriff Bernard L. Keiter said yesterday ballistics tests on the guns involved in the shooting are pending and "we'll have a full story Friday." KEITER SAID Bohanan volunteered to help six Secret Service agents and four county detectives in the arrests of suspected counterfeiters at the motel located at the intersection of 1-75 and Little York Road. Bohanan, however, missed the briefing session and was not known to the agents, according to Keiter. Action Line telephone lines will not be open today.

And, beginning 'today, they arc the two men who will be running the city until a new, permanent city manager is selected by the city commission. Shartzer becomes acting city manager today. Slerzer takes the title acting assistant city manager. Here are brief profiles on the two men: Bv John Felton Journol Herald Stofl Writer The names "Shartzer" and "Sterzer" are so similar that even old timers at Dayton's Ciiy Hall occasionally get them mixed up. There are other similarities, too.

Both men, G. Whitney Shartzer and Earl S. Sterzer, are natives of Dayton; both attended Fairview High Sterzer Staff Photo by Bob Doty BMfthiObi i nee Community Unity Asked On Schools Earl Sterzer Tito BIGGEST Makes Slop Here Ncl, it's north to Alaka.

Whitney Shartzer, moved in and started keeping things warm. Shartzer, who became acting city manager today, didn't wait until his new title became official before taking over responsibilities of the top man. Watt left town Tuesday to become deputy mayor of Washington, D.C. He will step into those duties for the first time tomorrow. "We've got to keep things moving," Shartzer said yesterday as he lugged his files and papers down the hall from his old office to the a a 's wood-paneled hang-out.

KNOWN AS "Whit" to his friends, the 52-year-old city manager fill-in cites "personal reasons" for not seeking the job on a permanent basis. In 1967, Shartzer was director of Service and Buildings, the city's biggest department. He formally applied for, but did not win, the manager's post, which went to Watt who had been city manager of Portland, Maine. In his first action as manager, Watt named Shartzer as his assistant. "He (Shartzer) will provide a complimentary personality for me," Watt said in making the appointment then.

Shartzer won't say what kind of man he wants to see in Watt's place. "That 's the commission's job," he says. "And since there seems to be quite a difference of opinion among the commissioners, I probably couldn't keep my job if I confused the issue." But the acting city manager is a man who has definite opinions. He has moved a long way up the city's ladder since starting in February, 19 51, as a $5,000 a year engineer in the highway bureau. He moved up the ranks quickly in the 1950s taking on the Service and Buildings director's job in 1959.

SHARTZER admits his engineering background is at odds with the prevailing qualifications for cit janagers in major cities "The city manager field has changed from an emphasis on the physical needs, such as highways and buildings, to the social Xcnia Hinls Retaliation If Struck By Tom McCatherine Journal Htrold Staff Writer XENIA An impending strike by city employes grew more likely yesterday as off-duty policemen and blue collar workers continued to picket city hall to press for continued wage talks. Responding to hints of a general strike, the city's legal adviser warned that some employes could lose their jobs by participating in a work stoppage. "This is only Step 1," Patrolman Robert Hull, chairman of the police negotiating committee, said of the i 1 1 g. "From here, we'll go to Step 2, then to Steps 3 and 4." "THE CITY has some steps it can take, too," City Solicitor Philip Aultman said when informed of Hull's comments. Aultman referred to the Ferguson Act, an Ohio law that prohibits strikes by public employes.

Full implementation of the Ferguson Act could lead to dismissal of employes shown to be engaged in a strike. Hull refused to divulge the nature of "Steps 2, 3 and 4." He also declined to divulge the scheduling of the various steps. "It's all been worked out, but I won't comment on it any further," he said. THE PICKETING, which began Tuesday, will be discontinued today because of the holiday, but will resume tomorrow and continue for "as long as necessary," Hull said. The workers are picketing to stress their demand for unrestricted negotiations with the city's negotiating committee.

No im- By William Worth Journal Heroid Staff Writer Yhe Dayton School Board has reaffirmed its commitment to the Model Cities education program and once again called on the Model Cities Planning Council to meet for "maximum early progress." The affirmation and request for an early meeting were made at Tuesday's board meeting, when president William Levy read a "statement on intergroup relations." The board earlier Dec. 19 had passed a resolution asking the council to "meet at an early date" to talk about the education projects and the partnership agreement between the two bodies. The statement was written, said board member Walter L. Martin, in a last-minute attempt by the present board to "bind the wounds of the community" caused by the discharge of Arthur E.

Thomas as Model Cities education director. "WE WERE just trying to bring the community together before we left office," Martin said yesterday. "That's why the statement was made." The board said it had witnessed a "disturbing sight" during the Thomas hearing, a sight of "mistrust or hatred, admissions of threats and abuse, and (Continued on Page 44) Earl 1. Sterzer didn't know jntil yesterday, he says, that his new title is "acting assistant citv manager" of Dayton. Sterzer, 47, wears a vest every day, keeps his graying hair short and spends most his time cutting the federal government's red tape.

He is now the No. 2 man at city hall after almost exactly 10 years as the prime mover of urban renewal projects in Dayton. But now he is expanding his work beyond urban renewal and is the city expert on programs which involve the federal government and its money. A QUIET, methodical man, Sterzer probably could be called "a bureaucrat's bureaucrat" and not be His job between now and the time when a new city manager takes over will be to keep the city's federal programs from Model Cities to urban renewal running smoothly. But, he emphasizes, he will not be working as an "innovator." He says he's been spending most of his time during the past few weeks directing the Concentrated Employment Program (CEP), a manpower training program which has had administrative and financial difficulties ever since its inception two years ago.

CEP is now up for renewed federal funding, and Sterzer has been guiding the program application through federal red tape. "Dealing with the federal officials can be awfully frustrating," he says. "You have to meet their guidelines, even though sometimes it's impossible to follow them to the letter." Sterzer has been fighting sometimes winning and sometimes losing the battle against red tape since he took over as Dayton urban renewal director in 1959. His title was changed to director of the Community Development Department in 1962. PRIOR TO assuming his administrative duties in the city, he served as an engineer and as a building inspector with the city.

From May, 1956, to November, 1957, he was administrative assistant to City Manager Herbert W. Starick. During thj interim period, he will give up his role as community development director. For the last three weeks, he has been maintaining two offices, one in the manager's office in the Municipal Building and his old office at community development on Fourth Street. "I've been running back and forth from one office to the ether," he says.

HE SAYS his work with the city has been emphasized by several periods of "adjustment." "Every job requires adjusting to the climate of administration, and especially to other people," he says. "For instance, in dealing with the federal officials (most city workers call them 'feds but Sterzer uses the f.ill term) you have to constantly to rules and regulations and personalities." His current adjustment, he ays in that of "getting my I. et wet in working with the I S. In pari men! of Lbor. Whitney Shartzer needs," he says.

"Graham Watt, for instance, was a social engineer; I am a physical engineer." "I'm going to keep our programs and services moving in their present i i he says. "We can't let some of these innovative approaches to the city's problems go under just because the man who started them has gone." BUT HE SAYS he will not start anything new. "There will be no major changes while I am acting manager because it would be difficult and unreasonable for me to try to implement new programs before the new man comes in." would be irreparably damaged if the network affiliation were switched to Channel 16 and the case was subsequently decided in favor of the plaintiff. In his decision, Judge Hogan wrote: The destruction of Kittyhawk appears, on this record, to be more probable than the destruction of the plaintiff from the withholding." The decision also said any damages which might be suffered by Channel 22 could be computed in financial terms if the lawsuit is decided in its favor. BUT, JUDGE Hogan criticized ABC's late November announcement of its decision to award affiliation to Channel 1C.

although it (ABC) knew two years ago of the problem which had to be solved by Jan. 1, 1970 it was openly told so by WLW-D and although it had a contract with the plaintiff which contained a four-week unilateral termination clause, ABC would have us believe that shortly before Thanksgiving in 196920 months later four or five tiers of its authority suddenly decided on the same day to make determinations and write them up and distribute them to various offices. It taxes one's credulity." ABC's contract with WLW-D, Channel 2, expired yesterday and Channel 22 contended in the suit that it had every reason to feci it would get the full affiliation beginning today. The network announced its intention of contracting with Channel 16 for affiliation in late November. Ey Catherine Martindale Journal Herald Staff Writer A federal court judge yesterday denied a request by Channel 22 for a temporary restraining order preventing the American Broadcasting Co.

from discontinuing its network programs with that station today. Judge Timothy Hogan of the U.S. District Court in Cincinnati ruled the television station probably would not be irreparably harmed by the network switch if a later court decision upholds Channel 22's contentions. But, if ABC were temporarily prevented from changing to Channel 16, as it has announced it will do today, that station might lose both its financing and its physical assets to editors, Judge Hogan's opinion said. THE REQUEST for a temporary restraining order followed filing of a lawsuit by Channel 22's owner, the Springfield television Broadcasting on Dec.

16. The suit charges Kittyhawk Television owner of Channel 16, and the American Broadcasting Co. with violating antitrust laws, asks for an injunction to prevent an ABC affiliation with Channel 16 and requests triple damages to be decided by a jury. THE MOTION for a temporary restraining order was filed Dec. 23 by Channel 22, requesting ABC be ordered to continue its regular network programming with them until the suit is decided.

Channel 22 alleged in the motion it Growth Makes Unity Vital, Horn Says (Continued on Page 44) Wall KcJenls t- eV Glotfelter to Get Letters By Fred Lawson Journal Nereid Staff Writer Kettering Mayor Charles F. Horn believes it is going to take more intergovernmental cooperation, and perhaps even some municipal consolidations, solve pressing growth problems in the Dayton area. Horn, who is beginning his first term as mayor after six years on the Kettering council, identified the problems as air tnd water pollution and transportation. He said he hopes to lead the council into establishing an "information program" which wi'l convince all Kettering residents of the need of cooperating with Dayton area municipalities and agencies. "COUNCIL HAS br-n progres- which operates on its own," Horn said.

He said he already has received mail expressing criticism of the cost of the city's new municipal building and operation of the city's recreation department. "These people, the ones we must convert, want a bare-existence government without any frills and probably no participation with other governmental agendes," Horn said. HORN SAID although there are slate and federal laws regulating air and water pollution "nothing is being done to control the situation and probably won't he until the individual hicnici- Oinlinui'tl from Page 23) dispute between himself and Watt.

Liskunv said he will give the letters to' Glotfelter today.
