"We will work with the school administration, the community and the students to restore our problems," she said. For Parents Only Mrs.

McBarnette also told students and the press to leave the meeting. She told students that "this was a meeting only for parents." She told a News reporter: "While we appreciate your coming here, the situation is tense enough and we don't wish any news coverage, which might blow it up further." About 35 of the students who had been asked to leave the session noisily mingled in the school's entrance lobby, just outside the auditorium where the meeting was being held. Max Bromer, principal of the school, denied reports that South Shore had been the scene of "constant unrest" since its opening last September. "We had unrest in the first week or two of the More than 50 employes of the State Mental Hygiene Department demonstrated In Queens yesterday to protest planned layoffs of mental health workers.

No Immediate Threat "I would not call the situation 'explosive' by any means," said Bromer, his eyes scanning the new $11,977,850 building that is Brooklyn's first comprehensive high school. South Shore opened in September and has a freshman class at present, 35 of which is black. It is located in a predominantly white neighborhood. Many of the black students are bused in from the Bedford-Stuyvesant and East New York sections of Brooklyn.

The Board of Education dispatched a mobile squad of civilian guards to keep control inside the school when trouble flared up on Tuesday. Bromer said that five of the guards were "still present" at the school, where attendance yesterday was only 350, or 19 of the student body. been formed, gave additional details yesterday. He said the institute is open to all and is currently made up of more than 70 persons. In his speech announcing establishment of the institute, the bishop said the "group of competent and dedicated Christians will help our people to discover and learn about each other." The goal would be achieved, he said, through education and training programs.

The institution will make one-year grants. May 15 is the deadline for applications. Bishop's Group to Give 70 Gs in Poverty Fight Bishop Francis J. Mugavero said yesterday that his new Institute for Human Development, made up of persons from all walks of life to fight the "growing bitterness and insensitivity" of people, will supervise the distribution of He said that in 1960 State Mental Hygiene Commissioner Allan D. Miller promised Bedford-Stuyvesant a comprehensive mental health program.

"We're still expecting him to fulfill that promise," said Hipp. Predicts Chaos "The cuts will create a chaotic situation," said Barry Murphy, a social worker assigned to the Brooklyn After-Care Center as he picketed with Hipp and others at the dedication of the Krubitsky Family Service Center, 192-08 Jamaica Ave. Murphy said he Is concerned that people who have important skills doctors, social workers and nurses are being laid off. He is worried about how this will affect patients "who established relationships with the doctors and social workers being Ibid off." As Hipp and Murphy talked, the picketers marched outside the facility operated by the Quacns County Mental Society, a private group, and Creedmoor Hospital, a state institution. They hoped to confront Commissioner Miller, who was a scheduled speaker, but he failed to appear.

But Paula Greitzer, a social worker assigned to the lower Manhattan center, asked, "Why open a new clinic here when you're whipping out staff that worked like dogs for years to set up clinics in underprivileged areas the first earth for the new building, scheduled to be completed by summer's end. Remote From Racket The only sounds, except for the oohs and aahs of the elderly birdwatchers, were the cries of the birds and the chirping of the young school children, the drone of a plane landing at Kennedy and the faint rumble of a subway train a half mile away, heading over a bridge to the Rockaways. It was a symbolic moment of triumph for nature lovers, and Heckscher said he hoped the addition of the new building "will encourage people to visit this precious refuge." $70,000 to combat poverty.

Mugavero, bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn, said that in distributing funds the institute would give priority to neighborhood groups and self-help organizations.

He said the layoffs are at state hospitals, after-care centers, state schools and narcotics research centers.
