Roy Goodman for the UFT said it was still screening candidates to oDDOse the slate announced cisco Ferrer, Edwinna McLaughlin, Nicomedes Sanchez, Janice Wong, Elroye Jones, Georgina Hoggard and Henry Ramos.

The nine candidates who are running on a "For the Children" slate said they would support Fuentes only if the Presidents Council did. The Presidents Council, composed of the parents associations of all 20 schools in the area, has supported Fuentes in the past. Mrs. Gonzalez said District 1 parents are not anti-UFT," but she added, "It is the leadership Tn the. meantime, the announced last May.

That board was thrown out of office by Federal Judge Charles E. Stewart on the grounds that the election had been conducted in a "racially discriminatory manner." Two of the three Fuentes supporters from the ousted board are running again but all nine candidates indicated in a conference yesterday at their campaign headquarters, 86 Avenue B. that they supported Fuentes. The candidates are Carmen Barreto, Bertram Beck, Fran candidates said their greatest problem right now was getting out the vote. Bertram Beck, one of the can didates who lost last year, said zo-year abatement expires june Senate Passes Bill With the abatement running out, rents for one-bedroom apartments were projected to rise by $45 to $245; for two-bedroom units $60 to $310; and three-bedroom flats $75 to about $375.

The insurance company's indication that it will accept lesser increases followed passage by the State Senate of a bill, sponsored by Sen. Roy Goodman (R-Man-hattan), providing a sliding 10-year tax abatement. The Assembly is expected to act on a similar bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Andrew Stein (D-Manhat-tan). The legislation provides that Stuyvesant Town be restored to full real estate taxes at the rate of 10ro a year until 100, is achieved after 10 years. Goodman said he would like to see taxes fully restored after 25 years, meaning they would be restored at the rate of 4 a year.

Hails "Breakthrough" Of Shinn's announcement that abatement is at least something to discuss further, Goodman hailed it as "a definite breakthrough because it means that Met now recognizes the desirabil- that they would probably appeal to the central Board of Education and if necessary to Judge Stewart if the candidates were not per mitted to encourage voters to go ity of continuing tax abatement beyond its June 30 expiration date." In an exchange of letters with Goodman, the company's Shinn did not indicate just how much rents could be reduced when the abatement expires. He emphasized that there would be rent increase or "pass throughs" to cover increased operating costs. In recent months, Metropolitan Life has made no effort to conceal its plan to sell the complex to the "right" purchaser. For that reason, the company had resisted any efforts to push for contiMnued tax abatement. Any tax abatement would be presumably allowed under the state's Mitchell-Lama Middle-income program, which sets limits on the amount of income families can earn and still be eligible for the abatement.
