rsn I The Boston Globe Wednesday, July 21, 1976 3 $21m for new station TA to $60m from US MB get ift Wrf ISv -I By Stephen Wermiel and Robert Jordan Globe Staff WASHINGTON US Transportation Secretary William Coleman this morning will announce Federal grants totaling nearly $60 million for several Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) projects, including $21 million for construction of a South Quincy station on the Red Line. These funds will be supplemented by $5 million of MBTA matching funds, since Federal law requires the Urban Mass Transit Administration, the US funding agency, is required to pay 80 percent of an MBTA project, and the MBTA must pay the remain- ing 20 percent. Coleman will also announce grants to six cities outside New England. In addition to South Quincy station funds, Coleman will announce $12 million in Federal funds for the MBTA's power improvements program, matched with $3 million in MBTA funds; $18 million in additional Federal funds for the purchase of new cars for the Orange and Blue Lines and improvements on the Red Line, matched by $5 million in MBTA funds, and $8 million in Federal funds to cover some administrative costs of various MBTA projects, matched by $2 million in MBTA funds. Sought by MBTA executive officer Robert Kiley, the grants received the attention and efforts of state Transportation Secretary Fred Salvucci and Lt.

Gov. Thomas P. O'Neill 3d who lobbied in Washington for the Construction of a South Braintree station for the Red' Line was approved little more than a year ago, but plans for the South Quincy station were held up because of complaints and objections from local residents.

Proponents argued that repeal would allow merchants in Massachusetts to compete with New Hampshire and Rhode Island stores which are open on Sunday, as well as depositing needed revenue in the state treasury. Opponents, backed by labor, business religious organizations, ar-Jgued that repeal would result in in-' creased overhead as stores stayed open seven, days a week, and ultimately would lead to higher consumer prices. 'Also, foes argued that Sunday is a re-' tigious' holiday, not a day'for work.

"There are already 48 exceptions to day of rest, statute," said Rep. Pa- vicf J. SwartZ (D-Haverhill). "Let's5 face it, the day of rest is pretty well commercialized as it is." Another proponent of repeal, House Minority Whip William G. Robinson (R-Melrose) said, "We can't legislate morality." "If I' can go to a race track or a night club on Sunday night, I certainly ought to be able to buy my kid a pair of sneakers on Sunday afternoon," he said.

Yarmouth merchant Luke, co-. owner of Luke's Supermarket declared he'll stay open next Sunday although the local police have sought blue law violation complaints against him and two other merchants for doing business last Sunday. Luke, James Peterson of Peterson's Market and Edward Ring of Ring Brothers Farm Markets are due to be arraigned Monday in Barnstable District Court, court officials said. "I'm looking for support from other stores across the state because this call for repeal of the law isn't just a town issue," Luke said in a telephone interview. "Someone has to stand up and fight and I guess I'm it." He and his brother, Carl, own a chain of three supermarkets and the one in Yarmouth has been doing business Sundays since it opened 13 years iago.

James Peterson, whose store has conducted Sunday trade for more than two years, confirmed he'll stand with Luke. "The law is absolutely ridiculous," he stated. Edward Ring could not be reached for comment and his store manager, Henry Horgan, said he couldn't say for certain whether the store will be open this weekend. "We still haven't been served a summons and we still have our 'Open Sunday' sign in the window," he added. Horgan said the store, which was founded last July, has been open for only two Sundays this summer.

The South Quincy station will be located in the general area of the intersection of Rte. 3 and Rte. 128. The $21 million Federal grant and $5 million matching local share which must be raised through a bond issue will bs used to construct the station and a 1000-car parking garage with access ramps.

Additional Federal Highway Administration funds may be needed later, according to state and MBTA plans, to complete access ramps onto the highways which are the major connec-lors between Boston, the South Shore and Cape Cod. The project is expected to take about two years to build. Lt. Gov. O'Neill described the project in a March, 1976 testimony before a House subcommittee as one of the two most important capital mass transit projects proposed by the Commonwealth.

1945 to expunge her banishment from the judicial record. It failed both times. James M. Fitzpatrick, a New York congressman, asked Gov. Charles F.

Hurley to intervene on Hutchinson's behalf in 1938, noting that Westchester County had given a river and a state parkway her name. The statue that was the focus of yesterday's birthday celebration was the object of heated controversy in 1922, propelling Hutchinson into the center of public debate once more. Unable to decide whether the bronze sculpture, by Cyrus E. Dallin, was "an appropriate addition to the State House," the legislators argued for weeks while the art work lay on the State House porch. Dallin's representation of Hutchinson, with her eyes uplifted to heaven and her arm around a small child, stirs only proud memories in 73-year-old Edward Powell, who visited the statue yesterday with his wife and twin granddaughters in a coincidence that would have made Anne Hutchinson smile.

"No, I didn't know it was her birthday," said the dapper Powell. "But you'll never guess who Dallin's model for the child's arm was. We both lived on Oakland avenue in Arlington then. "I was 11 years old, I guess, and I loved to stop in and watch him work. He was working on this piece one afternoon when I dropped in and he asked me to model so he cjuld get a realistic representation of the child's arm." While granddaughters Dana and Suzie posed by the folds of Hutchinson's skirt, Powell, a retired musician who lives in Stowe, reflected.

"Isn't it something that we took the children down today, of all days? I think they will remember this piece of history. They'll know Anne Hutchinson."

Botwright 6lobe Staff 1 The Massachusetts House of Representatives yesterday passed and sent to the Senate a bill to place a nonbind-ipg referendum on repeal of Sunday blue laws on the November ballot. Approved 153-69, the measure must pss; two more tests in the Senate beware being sent to the governor's office 'for final approval.

Calling the bill "better: than, nothing," Michael Fadden, a legislative aide to the governor, said yesterday that if the voters in November indicate their support for repeal of the blue laws, there is a good chance the legislature might approve a bill on the issue next in the meantime, the state is losing trade," said Fadden. "We have been saying all along repeal of the blue laws ought to be up to local option." Meanwhile on Cape Cod, one of three Yarmouth area market owners who face court action for allegedly violating the blue laws last Sunday said he and the other two merchants plan to stay open again this Sunday. Arthur Luke also called for support from store owners "all over the state support we need to win this fight to repeal the law." Yarmouth Police Chief Theodore Reynolds said members of his force will again prosecute violators. BRA closes By David Rogers Globe Staff The Boston Redevelopment Authority, faced with the loss of its tenantand the threat of a closing order from the city Appeals Board, yesterday closed a controversial North End parking lot it had opened only last week. Located on Sargent's Wharf off Commercial street, the property represents an investment of $189,000 for the BRA, and although director Robert Kenney expressed "no remorse" at his agency's performance, the continuing controversy promises to delay any return on these public funds.

The actual decision to close came early yesterday as the product of two almost simultaneous events, the first involving a Brookline businessman, Hyman Escott, who withdrew from his contract to operate the lot, and the second an Appeals Board vote to withhold approval of the project until permits are issued by the state. Joseph Priestley, chairman of the five-man board, said later members If the wind is By Paul Langner Globe Staff Depending on which way the wind blows, a cloud of moths may soon descend on southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts, bringing the possibility of damage to pines and spruce trees and a nuisance to humans. Dr. Arthur Mason, New Hampshire state entomologist, said yesterday the spruce budworm is now behaving in the Canadian maritime provinces and northern Maine the same way it did two years ago, when its moths came south in a cloud 25 miles long and 3 miles wide. This year, the budworm infestation has been severe with some trees in year, but closed because the competition complained," he explained.

Police Chief Reynolds warned his officers will enforce the law. "We'll bring additional complaints against the same stores if they remain open, and we'll watch for other violators," he said. Policewomen last Sunday made purchases at the three Yarmouth stores, pre iding evidence for court complaints. The police action came after the Yarmouth selectmen last week received a petition signed by 44 persons, requesting that the town enforce the blue laws. Pre-ident Robert Tedeschi of the Rockland-based Angelo's Supermarket chain said his firm was represented on the petition.

One of his 16 stores is across the street from Ring Brothers in Yarmouth. "We have verbally told Yarmouth town officials that if other supermarkets are going to be allowed to open there on Sundays, we'll have to do the same thing to defend ourselves," said Tedeschi. "We may delay opening this Sunday, but we probably will open the following Sunday if the others are still doing business. "We don't want to be forced into breaking the law. Our position is if it's a bad law, then let the people of the commonwealth change it in November." parking lot homes and the pride that the entire city feels comfortable here.

By building parking lots, and not providing housing, that future can only see the destruction of the community." too many people out of work. Now, our research is aimed at learning what we should do to let its natural enemies handle the budworm. This might include finding chemicals that are aimed at the target pest and leave its enemies unaffected," Dr. Mason said. The moths, he said, will not be a serious threat to trees, except to nursery stock and Christmas tree plantings.

The trees will not die, but may be deformed. Mostly, Dr. Mason said, the moth is a nuisance to people outdoors near lights. "When the moths come down, the phone jjrigles off the hook and people and the papers call to know what this is all about." he concluded. itiiPii i I'" mUm I were prepared in any case to order the lot closed; if Kenney's past statements suggested he would defy such a ruling, Escott's withdrawal essentially removed this possibility.

The Appeals Board reserved judgment on another North End lot at Ful-. ton and Richmond streets near the-Sumner tunnel. The state permits are tied to Federal regulations governing the number of new parking spaces in the city and involve environmental considerations. Given the Appeals Board's decision, the BRA was hesistant to predict when it will try again to reopen the proper-tv. The lot on Sargent's Wharf is the more controversial of the two and has absorbed most of the oppostiion from residents, who see it as another commercial encroachment on the neighborhood in the name of urban renewal.

Camilio Cataldo of Salam Street said yesterday that the "concern of people here is that the entire North -End will be lost in three to five years if development is not halted. While the By Eileen McNamara Globe Correspondent It was an intimate celebration, in sharp contrast to the booming howitzers, ear-shattering firecrackers and majestic sailing displays of Bicentennial observances of the last few weeks. There were no politicians there, on the west lawn of the Massachusetts State House, to deliver solemn speeches. No historical harangues. No stirring reminders of the political and religious freedoms legitimized in the 18th-century.

Yesterday's birthday party was a private affair, the inspiration of a local history buff who chose a sun-drenched afternoon to pay tribute to a memory, at a bronze statue of Anne Marbury Hutchinson that, on the 385th anniversary of her baptism, is hidden from the sun and easy public view by a wall of trees. "I don't know any Anne Hutchinson," a State House police officer was telling two Wellesley College professors at approximately the same time Louise Hatch Meservey was placing her floral tribute in front of the statue. "But there is a statue of some woman behind those trees over there." Anne Hutchinson's place in Massachusetts history is as obscure as the location of her statue is to the average Bostonian. The Massachusetts Historical Society, the Massachusetts Bicentennial Commission and Boston 200 planned no commemoration of the birth of Anne Hutchinson, who was branded a religious heretic in 1637 and banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. "Hey, I'm just your guy in the street," said the man who answered the public information telephone number of Massachusetts Bicentennial.

"Who is Anne Hutchinson?" The plaque below the balus'rade where her statue rests says Anne Hutchinson was "a courageous exponent of civil liberty and religious toleration." Phyllis Cole, who teaches American literature at Wellesley, noted that the inscription "fails to mention the circumstances of her departure from Massachusetts" after Gov. John Winthrop and the General Court of the colony labeled her weekly religious meetings "seditious dissen-tion" and banished her from the colony for insisting that she was privy to "divine revelation," a privilege that church doctrine reserved to the Puritan clergy. "She had to go to Rhode Island and found a colony herself that valued religious freedom," Meservey said. "It's about time Massachusetts admitted it was wrong about Anne." The state has shown a determined resistance tg mending its historical fences wherfjlutchinson is concerned.

"This isn't a wealthy community. It's strength is its people and their ued, with luck, the winds could blow the moths out to sea where they would drown. Dr.

Mason said the budworm phenomena seems to run in a cycle, with massive infestation occurring about every 20 years. It seems man's efforts to control the budworm chemically have contributed to its population growth because pesticides used against it also killed parasites and predators that helped to keep budworm populations low. Dr. Mason said. "But at the time chemicals were used, there was no choice, he added.

The budworm feeds on pine and spruce through the spring and early summer and then, in the early part of July, goes into a 10-day period of inactivity. Dr. Mason said. At the end of that time, the moths emerge and form clouds that follow the winds.

Such moth clouds have already been seen in southern Canada. The moths feed on leaves, but they move on and so do less damage to trees than in the budworm state. In 1974, a budworm moth cloud blew over New Hampshire and Massachusetts and fragments got as far west as Ohio. This could happen 4iain this year. Dr.
