ROOK LYN NEWS Uiioei CalilE Bids For Daily Home Delivery Call 458-0320 DAILY NEWS, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1970 47 Ex-iop, 72, Shin Doing Duty Dies Trying to Foil Holdup in Store By GERALD KESSLER He'd put in more than four decades on the force, and he'd been retired for almost another decade, but 72-year-old ex-Lt. Dominick Papa still wouldn't step away from trouble, and trouble killed him. By POLLY KLINE Brooklyn longshore union chief Anthony Seotto urged Mayor Lindsay yesterday to get moving on a long-delayed South Brooklyn waterfront redevelopment plan, "with or without the help" of the Port Authority. Papa, who had headed the detective squads at the Flushing, Maspeth and Astoria stations, had a nightly routine of leaving his home at 139-32 58th Flushing, picking up the newspapers, and then spending half an hour in the World's Fair drugstore, 57-37 Main with the owner, Edward Wertheimer. When he entered the store late Wednesday night, he encountered a holdup man near the door and saw a second man scooping $400 out of the cash register.

Papa went into action with the service revolver that he still carried. As he fired four times, the man near the door fired back three times. Papa dropped, and the second hood, using Werthheimer as a shield, fired once as he darted past Papa to the door. The pair fled in a dark car. Off-duty Patrolman Daniel Hickey of Flushing, who was passing by, got off one shot at the car, but apparently missed.

Inside the drugstore, Papa gasped, "Get me an ambulance." By the time it arrived, he was dead. Police sent out an alarm for the pair of killers. One, slim and 5 foot 11, wore sunglasses, a black raincoat and a black rain-hat. The other, 6 foot 2, had on a black jacket and dark shirt. Both were Xegroes.

Papa, who joined the force May 5, 1920, retired June 12, 190i. Seotto scored a recent suggestion that the decayed 34-acre Red Hook tract be developed for housing and commercial uses, rather than as a vitally needed marshaling area for containerized cargo shipping. Meade Esposito, Brooklyn Democratic leader, recently recommended the residential-commercial plan and called for a meeting of elected officials and business leaders to discuss it. Finds It 'Farcical' Without mentioning Esposito by name, Seotto wrote in a letter to the mayor: 'Tf the original design is scrapped as certain public figures now seem to advocate the whole project might as well be jettisoned. To call for meetings of only businessmen and politicians, omitting the group of primary oncern waterfront labor and management is farcical." Esposito's statement followed disclosure that the Port Authority had broken off negotiations with the city Economic Development Administration toward a joint redevelopment undertaking on the waterfront between Hamilton and Atlantic Aves.

An additional crowd of high school students, estimated to total 4,000, joined the 3,000 college students. funds to the project was "plain hypocrisy, Seotto said.

Always was "Tentative" In fact, he said, everyone involved knew those funds were "tentative," and the port agency was "only too glad to abandon, the New York City side of the harbor to pour its massive resources into" New Jersey's container cargo terminals. A spokesman for Seotto, who is president of Brooklyn's Local 1S14, International Longshormen's Association, said he did not intend to criticize Esposito and was certainly in favor of new housing. Fears Loss of Jobs But, Seotto said, to divert the "precious upland" space for sucli use would "sink Brooklyn deeper into its status as Manhattan's low-income bedioom" and woui 1 deprive workers of potential jobs and the city of new tax revenues. He asked the mayor to call a meeting of "all genuinely concerned gioups." Hiring? on the Brooklyn docks are still "way off," a union spokesman said, despite a Waterfront Commission report. It showed 18.150 more individual hirings in March than in February, but the figure represented only a moderate comeback after a severe slump.

dents led the principal, Saul Israel, to order the school closed. "Frankly, we felt it wasn't safe," he said. About 200 students from other high schools showed up outside earlier and milled around, calling to Erasmus Hall youths to join them and attend peace rallies elsewhere. Several began walking out. After the closing, only about 500 nonwhite students of more than 3,000 enrollment at the school remained to attend a "Third World Students Program" in the quadrangle.

The school, on Ave. between Church and Snyder has an enrollment of 0,400, on double sessions. The president of the big City University school, with an enrollment of 11,900 day students, was not on campus. Other officials, administrators and teachers also were absent, and no police were in sight. The college had ordered classes suspended yesterday and today in line with a City University police approving student protest against the expanded a and the slaying of four Kent (Ohio) State College students.
