Fifth St. has had its stormy moments in the past. But now its federally financed job-training efforts for impov-e i adults are moving smoothly. That's the official story frm center Director William Cro-ley and Dayton Asst.

Director of Vocational Education Norman But the bristling attitude displayed by Croley toward ques-t i and persistent complaints raised furtively by persons associated with the school suggests another conclusion. CROLEY WAS asked about a chain of incidents. They Included: Liquor served at a dinner for graduating trainees Apr. 24. The liquor (wine, creme de menthe) was served students and official guests even though the school's complaint about problems with drunken students resulted in denial of a beer and wine carryout license to a nearby grocery last anu-ary.

Barring of job coaches Guild Founder Dies PHILADELPHIA UPI David Schick, one of the founders of the American Newspaper guild, died Sunday. He was 65. He was a writer and an editor on newspapers in Philadelphia and New York, the Paris Tribune in France and several trade DEER BEATS RETREAT FROM CITY Sieve Arizona-Bound With Gjfts for Navajo pelhoff added, "I think you are beating a dead horse I think we've got our problems solved There's no use destroying a program for a few agitators." Otis Smith, a job coach with the federally funded Concentrated Employment program, was one of the men who first took up trainees' complaints last a y. And Smith charged that he and a fellow CEP job coach were barred from the premises in consequence. Smith said his work chiefly involved helping trainees who had housing or other personal problems.

"That man (Croley) wouldn't let us help our people after they got under his roof," he charged. CROLEY SAID the two CEP job coaches were "no longer needed at Garfield" because the Ohio Bureau of Employment Services and the Dayton board of education were handling counseling. Harbert, the mediator from the federal manpower program, said he understood the original order was to limit involvement of the job coaches. But it was extended to bar them completely, he added. Major Nimlok, acting director of Concentrated Employment and a former employe of the state employment agency, said he knew nothing of the matter.

TWO SHOP teachers praised the school and its administration. But other persons, who asked to remain anonymous, said some training problems were caused by outdated or ill-functioning equipment pushed onto the school. from the Concentrated Em-p I program (CEP) from coming on premises to consult with CEP trainees. Reports that he (Croly) was relegated to strictly administrative duties earlier this year because of inability to get along with black trainees. CROLY, FORMER assistant at Garfield, moved up to the top job last year.

A chunky man in his 30s, he interrupted a staff meeting to talk to a Daily News reporter-photographer team. But he bridled repeatedly at questions. And he suggested several times that the newsmen were intent on "making trouble" and "hurting the program." Croley denied that appointment of Robert Davis a Negrb, as trainee supervisor two months ago was a consequence of his clashes with trainees. He said Davis was appointed because he needed "administrative assistance." HOWEVER, Manpower Development Training Act supervisor Ronald Harbert of Columbus was identified by himself and others as a mediator in resolving a showdown between Croley and trainees. Trainees in i 1 1 corn-plants accused Croley of treating them "like children" and being officious and abusive But Harbert said he "went to bat for Croley" against demands from trainees and other black spokesmen that he be fired.

The reason, Harbert said, was that Croley was the only certified administrator the Dayton Board of Education had a a i 1 a 1 for the job. WHY SERVE liquor in a graduation dinner at a school especially one that had experienced a drinkingprob-lem? 'r operating training program for hotel and restaurant cooks," Croley replied. "If we have a dinner it should involve all the kinds of things that go into a good dinner." Dayton schools Asst. Voca-t i a 1 Director Tempelhoff who attended, acknowledged he was "very much" surprised at the liquor. But he said theat he was sure it wan't Croley's idea.

IN REGARD to continuing reports of bickering and un-happiness at the school, Tem I'm thinking about that huge piece of steak and I'm remembering what a sign in front of the Assembly of God church in Millersville, said: "Jesus Christ is coming, be ready." I don't want you to think that I'm trying to be sacrilegious, but I was just sitting here looking at the sun going down over Amarillo and wondering if the people in Millersville are right, and Jesus Christ appears soon, would he go to see these sharecroppers by the cotton fields in eastern Arkansas, or take a spin down Amarillo A young deer wandered into Dayton this, morning, startling some residents of the Free Pike, Churchland Ave area. Mrs. Chester Kite, 4437' Free Pike, said she and her husband spotted the deer standing in the middle of Churchland Ave. It ran off into wooded area a few minutes later, pursued by some young motorcyclists. At last report, Dayton police were searching for the adventurous deer.

Margioras said he does not know what the teachers will decide proceed with the professional day, accept the meeting time g'g by the board, or ask for a er meeting time. SOME members of the board are expected to meet Beavercreek Teachers To Face 3 Alternatives By STEVE CLARK Daily News Staff Writer Dear Dayton: To begin with, let me fill you in on a lew things, such as where I am and where I'm going and why. I am riding shotgun in the. cab of a 10-ton truck, driven by Ed Waite.

also from Dayton. As I write this, we are cruising along 1-40 in the Texas Panhandle about 80 miles east of Amarillo. IT IS LATE in the afternon and we are headed due west into the sun. Weatherwise, there isn't a cloud in signt and it is very hot. I have found at least one reason why I don't want to move to Texas.

You must be vondering where Ed and I are going. We are headed for Arizona to deliver some clothes, toys and books to the Kinlichee boarding school for Indian children on the Navajo reservation near Ganado, in northeastern Arizona. Ed, a good-hearted young man who has been interested in the American Indian ever since his boyhood when he used to find arrowheads on the ground in his native western Pennsylvania, collected the goods after reading about the boarding school in Parade magazine. His plea for donations was answered by a number of people from "throughout the Dayton area. WHEN WE LEFT home about 7:30 Saturday morning, we wondered how much stuff was in the truck.

It took us 12 hours to find out. Around sundown, we pulled into a truck weighing station in Arkansas only minutes after crossing the Mississippi river from Memphis, and the man told us the truck weighed 14,000 po s. The truck itself weights 10,000 pounds so Ed collected about 4,000 pounds of goods to deliver to the Indians. I am with Ed because I wanted to come along. I'm a curious sort of guy and I wanted to see a sizable chunk of America i this troubled spring of 1970.

I wanted to learn some things that you can't learn by reading the newspapers or watching television. We are getting closer to Amarillo now. The sun is a little bit lower, although it seems just as hot and I am looking out the window at land as flat as the ice hockey rink at Hara Arena; at large herds of cattle grazing; at grain elevators miles away, looking somewhat like scattered skyscrapers. I AM TRYING to think of of the things that we have seen since leaving Dayton over 1,000 miles ago. But the sight that is most vivid in my memory at this moment occurred shortly after we crossed the Mississippi into Arkansas.

At the Arkansas border the welcoming sign said, "Land of Opportunity." And just after we drove past that sign we saw the sharecroppers shacks sitting in front of dirt roads besides the cotton fields. "Now that is real poverty," Ed said as we drove by them. WE ARE GETTING nearer to Amarillo now and a billboard beside the highway advises us to leave the interstate and take Amarillo where we will find 75 restaurants and 80 motels. At one of the restaurants, if you can put away a 72-ounce steak, you don't have to pay for it. That is four and one-half pounds of beef free, if your stomach is large enough to consume it at one sitting.

Improve Food, Board Advised with the executive committee tonight. Negotiations teachers' a 1 a i and benefits have been underway for a I weeks. The BCTA letter to the board last week said the teachers are confused about the status of the negotiaitions, that the board has violeated negotiaition ground rules, and taat "professional negotiations have never really taken place" on several of the Improvement in food services, building maintenance and "general housekeeping and sanitation" have been recommended to the Dayton board of education in the annual report on the schools from the city bureau of environmental health services. WILLIAM CROWLEY Quizzed on Events But they blamed administrative ineptness and 1 's strict rules for many problems with trainees. Albert Weber, a 46-year-old German native who began as a toolmaker at age 14, quit in frustration at one point as machine shop supervisor.

But he returned temporarily to finish tutoring his class of 14 students until graduation last month. "I was always in the middle," says Weber. I told him (Croley), 'I'm not a Weber claimed broken-down machinery and faulty plans for the job training school were other problems. Wayne M. Carle, are: That the school administration make a "considerable effort" toward control of environmental problems in schools.

That the administration and staff of each school be made fresponsible for deficiencies cited by the city. That the administration give more thought to an environmental health control unit directed by the school health physician toward weekly inspection and correction of deficiencies in such areas as lighting, cleaning and extermination of insects. That particular attention should be directed to individual schools as needed. City health officials, who are to meet with school officials today to discuss the report, declined to list deficiencies by individual schools. Problems cited, however, include lighting, water supply toilet and locker room facilities, insects and rodents, safety, ventilation and heating and food service.

Federal The Beavercreek Classroom Teachers association will meet tonight to decide whether to proceed with a professional study day Tuesday, accept a board of education suggestion for a meeting between the two groups Wednesday evening, or arrange for another meeting day.

The teachers' group, in a letter to the board of education last week, asked the board to sanction a professional day Tuesday and meet with the teachers to answer questions and resolve difficulties regarding contract negotiations. The board of education declined to sanction a professional day in a reply over the weekend, but suggested an al-t a i plan to dismiss school early Wednesday for a joint meeting. THE BCTA executive committee, however, does not feel there would be. sufficient time for the meeting Wednesday as the BCTA is holding a banquet beginning at 6: 30 p.m. "We don't feel that one and a half or two hours would be JVeic Party Sets Thursday Meet The New Party of Miami Valley, formerly the Miami Valley Political Action committee, will meet at 7:30 p.m.

NCR, Mead, Armco Invest in Housing B.W. WITH AN ASSIST FROM ANOTHER B.W. GETS SAMPLE OF CHILI Ben Wenzler Is Owner Of Benedict's, Latest Stop in Great Search Wholesome If Not Flavorful District court Judge Timothy S. Hogan of Cincinnati, has granted right of first refusal to Springfield Broadcasting owners of Channel 22, to all ABC programming between the hours of 4:30 and 11:30 p.m. The order remains in effect until ABC grants its local affiliation.

WKEF and WSWO-TV, Channel 26 in Springfield, have been invited to bid for the affiliation. ABC TERMINATED a contract with WKTR-TV, Channel 16, in the wake of bribery charges against an ABC official in Manhattan. The network has also refused to accept a new bid for affiliation from Kittyhawk Broadcasting operators of Channel 16. Judge Hogan had issued an order May 1, granting an injunction requested by Springfield to return to the "status quo" until a federal anti-trust case is heard in his court. Springfield has sued ABC and Kittyhawk for alleged conspiracy in restraint of trade.

HOGAN'S latest ruling clarifies the term "status quo." The status quo which had existed before ABC's affiliation with Kittyhawi was approximately 70 per cent of networth programming on Channel 22, the remainder on Channel 2, WLW-D.

20. Two suspects were arrested after that burglary. I open mouth gadzooks! perfect utensil-to-aperture proportion. I was ready DISDAINING the Ritz-type crackers, I opened several packets of the saltines then spooned into the entree offering. Benedict's chili is homemade.

It is simmered steadily on the back burner for hours at a time. But, it lacks distinction. It has all the so-called desired qualities of a home-cooked product. It's wholesome but not uniquely flavorful. The quality is inherent not apparent.

Tasty but not zesty. Saucy not sassy. For those of you and there are many I'm sure who go for such lauded home-cooked items at stewed chicken and dumplings, Mom's apple pie, stuff like that there, then Benedict's home-style chili is for you. Maybe I should have just stayed in the kitchen with the other BW (Ben Wenzler) and continued ladling and sampling the chili right out of the big pot. Somehow it tasted better back there By B.W.

Friday, the Great Chili Search took me to the vast wilds of Kettering and Benedict's, at the corner of Stroop and Marshall. Benedict's is primarily a swingin' cocktail lounge with a "Soup 'n San" menu till 6p.m. After 6, it's strictly booze and broads. I'h heard some nice comments about Benedict's chili so noontime Friday 1 dropped in for a bowl. QUICK as a wink, Karen the waitress, brought the medium-sized bowl of chili.

Complete with two types of crackers: Cello-packaged saltines and some bulk Ritz-type wafers. Plenty of both. Huzzahs for Benedict's. At least, they don't skimp on the saltines. Karen also brought a dilemma: Two spoons.
