a THE BOSTON GLOBE THURSDAY, JULY 8. 1982 31 4th arrest in Hyde Park assault case Reading scores in Hub up a little An Urgent Humanitarian Appeal for People of Lebanon ft! "pfJ The grim count of civilian casualties in Lebanon goes on. Ten thousand killed. A quarter of a million people homeless. Schools and hospitals smashed by bombs and shells.

Seventeen thousand civilians are wounded, according to the Lebanese Doctors at the American University Hospital in Beirut report amputating 1,100 limbs in a single day! A fourth Hyde Park man was arraigned yesterday on charges connected with a series of assaults on two black families that occurred Monday night on Westminster street near Ross Field. David Gilligan, 20, of Westminster street, surrendered to police yesterday at West Roxbury District Court, according to Peter Wolos-chuk, a spokesman for the Boston Police Department. At his arraignment, Gilligan pleaded innocent to charges of assault and battery and violation of civil rights. He was released on personal recognizance, and his case was continued until Aug. 2.

Also arraigned yesterday in West Roxbury District Court was John Campanello, 23. of 263 Huntington av. Campanello pleaded innocent to charges of disorderly conduct, civil rights violations, assault and battery, assault and battery on a police officer and willful and malicious destruction ofproperty. He was released on $250 cash bail, and his case was continued until Aug. 2.

According to Woloschuk, Campanello is scheduled to be arraigned on additional charges UPI eighth graders have concentrated more on basic skills. Scores on the Metropolitan Reading Achievement Test in those two grades have shown the greatest improvement over the past two years. Generally, Boston students continued to produce their best scores in the primary grades and the worst in high school, when compared to national norms. That pattern, Deveney said, is common among school systems in large cities. This year first and second graders in Boston tested slightly above national norms.

In the high school grades, students were reading almost one year or more below grade level. Median scores7 in the second, third, fifth and seventh grades improved slightly. They declined in the third grade and remained the same in the other six. High school seniors and pupils in kindergarten are not given the test. Asked how scores might be improved, Deveney at first replied: "If I knew the answer to Jhat, I'd be superintendent." He expressed hope that a citywide curriculum in language arts, which has been lacking for more than a decade, would help improve achievement levels when it is installed in elementary and middle school grades this fall By Kenneth J.

Cooper Globe Staff Reading scores of most Boston schoolchildren held steady or crept upward this year, but they remained below national norms in all but two grades. i Data released by the Boston School Department yesterday indicate that median scores on a standardized test given in May stayed the same in six grades, while they improved in four and declined in one. Some observers expressed satisfaction that the scores held up as well as they did given the two months of confusion about teacher assignments last fall and persistent anxiety among less senior teachers, that they would be laid off during the year. Supt. Robert R.

Spillane, fn a statement to the media, termed the test results "extremely encourag-ing." Last year, reading scores rose in seven grades, constituting what Acting Supt. Joseph McDonough termed the highest achievement levels since 1973. Thomas R. Deveney, testing coordinator of the School Department, yesterday attributed appreciable gains in two grades since 1980 to a state policy that requires testing of specific basic skills. Because of the policy, Deveney suggested, of fifth and There is an immediate need for food, water, shelter, clothing and medical supplies the rudimentary necessities of life.

Hot tar shuts down Ariorway trolleys The MBTA's Arborway trolley line in Jamaica Plain, which reopened June 26 after more than a year of reconstruction, shut down briefly yesterday, the victim of hot tar and slick rails. The line, which runs for two miles in the street, from Heath street to the Arborway, was closed at 3 p.m. yesterday when the tar sealant that separates the rails from the street melted, spread over the rails and made them too slick to use.

"It was a safety problem. We were worried the trolleys wouldn't have enough traction going up the hill," said. Bill Ryan of the MBTA. Work crews spread sand on the rails and the line was reopened at 5:06 p.m. A sample of the sealant was taken for tests to determine a permament solution.

City State Zip The Boston School Department this week notified 113 teachers, who were among 595 laid off last month, that they will be rehired, according to Ida White, the department's persoflnel director. White yesterday said a cross-section of elementary and secondary teachers was being recalled because of resignations, leaves of absence and grants approved since the School Committee voted the layoffs on June 8. School officials have estimated that the net reduction of teachers would be about 400 if the federal government approves pending grant applications. In a related announcement, Supt.

Robert R. Spillane has delayed making teacher reassignments until the week of July 19, to allow time to determine the status of federal graqts and teachers currently on leave.
