ausiu z.u OLCtoh i-LBKUaHV 21. Lakian and Robinson in heated GOP fight iRecent MM -Deaths Caroline Austin, 90 Worked for BKton bank Rene Dubos. 81, environmentalist, writer and 4a statesman of science9 If '4 I if ft v- i- i By Chris Back Globe Staff The two leading rivals for the Republican convention endorsement for governor of Massachusetts accused one another last week of using "psychological warfare" and "big budget entertainment" in attempts to garner support at the March 6 state party gathering. The exchange began when John R. Lakian, a Westwood investment counselor, attempted to lock in convention delegates by persuading them to sign written pledges of support for his candidacy.

State Rep. William G. Robinson (R-Melrose), the House minority leader, reacted heatedly to the attempt. Both candidates have been claiming to hold the lead in support from the 1446 delegates who will vote nonbindlng endorsements of GOP candidates for the US Senate and top state offices at the Boston convention, At the end of last week, Lakian claimed support from 630 delegates, with 219 for Robinson and 493 uncommitted. Robinson claimed to have lined up 539 delegates, with 348 for Lakian and 498 uncommitted.

Although five candidates are running for the Republican nomination for governor. Lakian and Robinson appear to be front runners for the nonbinding convention endorsement. The other three candidates Rep. Andrew H. Card (R-Holbrook).

former Boston City Councilman John W. Sears and former MDC Comr. Guy A. Car bone are focusing their energeics 6'n the September primary. Each has a small number of delegates, however.

In a letter to delegates he had identified as his supporters. Lakian asked them to sign orange pledge cards to combat the "psychological warfare" being wagwl by the Robinson campaign. "We need to explode the myth that Bill Robinson has delegate parity;" lakian wrote. "When we back up our delegate claims with chapter-anl-verse citations of authorize pledges, the 'romantic' Robinsoji roster of delegates will crumble arid the 'be-wit h-the-winner' folks wiI stampede to our standard." Lakian urged delegates to "make the convention a rout." In response. Robinson mailed a copy of the Lakian letter withia cover letter of his own to all corj-vention delegates.

United Press International NEW YORK Rene Dubos. a world-renowned environmentalist and a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, died yesterday on his 81st birthday. Mr. Dubos. who wrote 20 books and was considered a statesman of science, died in New York Hospital, which he entered a month ago.

The cause of his death was not disclosed. Mr. Dubos was professor emeritus of Rockefeller University, with which he had been associated for more than half a century. He came to this country from France in 1924 to attend Rutgers University campus in Newark. N.J..

which granted him a PhD in 1927. That year. Mr. Dubos joined the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, which now is Rockefeller University. With the exception of a year spent at Harvard.

Mr. Dubos remained on the faculty of the university until 1971. when he retired as chairman of the Department of Environmental Blomedicine. At first, Mr. Dubos pursued a career in bacteriology, doing some of the first work done on antibiotics.

Later, he did research on tuberculosis, an interest that developed from the fact his first wife had died of the disease. But as time went on, Mr. Dubos branched off into studies of the environment. He was born in Saint Brice, a tiny, densely populated suburb of Paris, and it always impressed him that the people there survived and got along. He ultimately concluded that man does not ruin the environment simply by changing it.

As examples, he cited the vast parks in France and England. Though he spoke out against pollutants that damage the environment, he believed that man can affect the environment in a very positive way. This set him apart from many Rich names running mate Globe State House Bureau Francis P. Rich, the Independent candidate for governor of Massachusetts, yesterday announced that he had chosen John Davies, a Holliston businessman, as his running mate. Massachusetts law requires an Independent gubernatorial candidate to designate and run with a candidate for lieutenant governor.

Major party candidates for governor and lieutenant governor run independently. "John Davies is a young, energetic and talented businessman whose ideas and philosophies are completely in sync with those 1 hve Mickey. Joseph In Davie, Feb. 14. at 72.

Efforts to put the Fogg Art Museum's expansion plans back in motion may have gotten under way yesterday as Harvard's visiting committee for art museums began a meeting in Cambridge. The multimillion dollar expansion plans, canceled Feb. 4 by Harvard President Derek Bok, had called for constructing a major addition to the Cambridge a second Fogg building, across Broadway from the present museum. According to earlier statements by Bok, the Fogg's plans were canceled strictly for financial reasons. He noted: The reasons I gave for this unfortunate decision were all financial.

If these financial problems could be overcome, of course, we would reconsider the decision." Reconsideration was reported to be the most important topic during the committee's meeting yesterday, but no agenda was announced publicly and no public statement was expected when the meeting ended. It was reported in New York last week that Bok had visited a prominent art patron to see if an original pledge of more than $10 million would still be available if the Fogg's expansion plans are revived. A New York Times story quoted been promulgating," Rich said in "a statement. J) Davies is the treasurer of Hardware Service a manufacturer's representative agency whiqh sells building products to contractors and distributors. A graduate of Ohio Wesleyan College, he is 32 and lives in Norfolk with his wife, Christine Parianos, a school teacher, and two young daughters.

Rich's campaign organization had earlier approached Peter Meja-ard. a selectman from Windsor; about joining the ticket, aides -fe Rich said. Menard was unable to meet the deadline for making a decision, however, and Rich then turned to Davies. an anonymous donor as saying it's "probable" the pledge will be reinstated if the museum's visitiijg committee agrees, and if absolute assurances are given that Harvard will go ahead with the project. The chairman of the art musij-ums visiting committee, Charles Cunningham, noted recently that after the expansion plans were cancelled "some spontaneous niofl-ey has come over the transom (reported to be more than $1 million), but it is a big jump from that to what we need," In all.

Harvard was seeking $28.4 million to build and operate the art museum, but it fell $3.3 million short of that goal. 20-second phone delays affect 21,000 in Brighton Delays in obtaining a dial tone were experienced by about 24,000 telephone customers in the Brighton section of Boston yesterday.

criticism when HUD claimed that after a year its costs had doubled while its productivity dropped by 50 percent. Announcing Hoard's appointment Friday, White said: "Fair housing is the law and we all have rights and obligations under the law."

She worked as manager of Roxbury Little City Hall until it closed last year.

Hoard, a Roxbury resident and 13-year veteran of Boston city government, will take charge of the fair housing office tomorrow, filling the Job left vacant last month with the dismissal of Patterson Riley. Riley was dismissed in January after an intense round of criticism of Boston's fair housing record. A 100-page study ordered by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) reported last November that pervasive discrimination still faced minority residents seeking shelter in the city.

In the same month, HUD offi cials ordered Boston to enact stronger fair housing laws by March or face possible loss of 50 percent of the $26 million the city Is receiving this year in Community Develop ment Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
