The school committee, in turn, proposed annual raises varying from $400 to $600.

Much of the humor is obvious," observed Hoffman, "but subtle humor doesn't go over to well in the United States." Often, Hoffman said, the National Lampoon's three editors disagree about what is humorous and what is not.

But they are of one mind on the definition of the word. "It's what makes us laugh," said Hoffman. The three rated Woody Allen as their favorite humorist and they hope to get Allen to contribute to their magazine by spreading the rumor that he already has. "Then he'll have to," reasoned Some of the present editors of the Harvard Lampoon have criticized the first issue of the National Lampoon. "They said it wasn't funny and in bad taste," said Hoffman.

"I think they're jealous." Many people might agree that certain parts of the magazine are not very funny and in bad taste, though perhaps not for the same reasons as the Harvard Lampoon editors. The first issue, for example, will contain a story about Julie and David Eisenhower done in the fashion of a true-life romance comic book that is guaranteed to offend any member of the Silent Majority who happens to see it. Two regular features will be Mrs. Agnew's Diary and Uncle Tom's Column. The sex issue's Playmate of the Month is a militant feminist.

By Diane White Globe Staff Three former editors of the Harvard Lampoon have stepped in to fill the cultural void left by the demise of Life, the 1920s' humor magazine, and the disappearance of Cap'n Billy's Whiz-Bang. Douglas Kenney, 24, Henry Beard, 23, and Rob Hoffman, 22 the same people who put together parodies of Playboy, Time and Life have produced the National Lampoon, a monthly humor magazine published in New York. The first issue, which is devoted entirely to sex, will go on sale Mar.

America, he said, is ready for the National Lampoon. "Our only competition is television," he said. "A lot of good writers who could work for us are writing for things like 'Laugh-In' and 'The Debbie Reynolds Show'." The first issue will contain stories (a catchall term) by several established humorists including Roger Price, Ralph Schoenstein and Richard Armour.

It will also. contain works by lesser known writers like Patrick Coffey, de-cribed by Hoffman as "some guy from Levittown who walked in one day off the street." Some of the magazine's best writing is done by editors Kenney and Beard. "Henry (Beard) is incredible," Hoffman said. "People say he's doing better work than S. J.

Perelman did at the same age." The magazine attacks all the things one would expect it to attack, including City to raze 6 rotting Hub tenements connection with violations on nine buildings.

Housing inspection and building department representatives, who accompanied the councilor, said they took the Realty Corporation to court three times in the last year in painted owner-occupied homes.

Proponents of the community living program believe they are carrying out the wishes of Concord farmer Hugh Cargill who, in 1789, said that his property should be used by the poor. James Mercer, who headed the Cargill study committee, said yesterday: "about 77 percent of the town meeting voted for it it's an exciting thing for people to show what they can do to relieve racial tension." Some of the original Cargill property has been used for veterans housing, an elementary school, a fire and police station and a pumping station. A youth center is planned for another parcel of land.

The house will be reconditioned before the house is occupied but major renovations will be made by students as they live in the building. Refurbishing, estimated to cost $35,000. will be paid for under a grant and additional funds will be solicited. The probate court must still rule on the use of the house for this purpose, and a determination must be made by the local appeals board. According to David Rockwood.

The House has already passed the bill which would allow religious and fraternal organizations to hold one beano game per week with a top prize of $50. Sargent said yesterday at a news conference he "presumes" he will veto the proposal as he did last year.

He said he did not veto the measure last year on "moral" grounds, but because it would be difficult to keep the underworld out of the games. Although he has not seen the latest version he presumed he would veto it again. The Beano proposal passed the Senate by a narrower margin than last year when the vote was 20 to 14. Debate over the proposal took nearly two hours, with Sen. Fred Lamson (R-Malden) leading the opposition as he has in past years.

Lamson said when beano was legal before World War II, "in my city the racketeers moved right in." He claimed the five percent fee which would go to the city or town licensing the games "wouldn't pay the electric bill of a school in any of the communities in the state." Sen. John J. Moakley (D-South Boston) sponsored an amendment, which too suipia io voie on cuiung me size oi rne House," Locke said. He added, "Has religion become so meaningless that we have to support it by gambling." In the voting, five Democrats joined 12 Republicans in opposition to the proposal. If the governor vetoes the bill, two thirds vote would be needed to override the veto.

Fourteen votes would block the override. V' rfTv V- HUGH CARGILL HOME ON WALDEN CONCORD (Sam Hammat. photo).
