By CAROLYN MIEGEL Sun Staff LOWELL Dr. 'Hugh McDougall, the 50 year old relired superintendent from Forest Hills, N.Y., seems to have the necessary votes to be elected as Lowell's new superintendent of schools.

Both school committeemen and members oi a nine member, citizens' interviewing panel will riot talk officially about evaluation of the three finalists for superintendent, but it appears ihat McDougall will be the city's choice if the committee can come to terms with him on salary and other, contractual matters. The citizen's panel last night held its lasl meeting and rated the three candidates, reportedly heavily favoring McDougall over the other two Finalists. They ranked Dover, superintendent Robert T. Rasmussen second and Rome, N.Y., superintendent John MacDonnell third, but the voting on Rasmussen and MacDonnell is believed tn have gone several ballots, McDougall has told (he board he would commute from his home on Long Island on weekends and live in Lowell for the week. He has pledged to put' 60 to 70 hours an the job in Lowell.

WHILE THERE is some feeling on both the committee and the citizens' panel against the commuting, both groups say 1hey are sufficiently convinced that McDougall is the best candidate to make arrangements about the commuting issue. The board had planned fa elect a new superintendent Monday, but it appears that election will be put on until at least later in (he week as the board negotiates wilh candidates. Salary issues must be worked out, though rumor is that the board is willing to increase the salary to $30,000 a year. Haverhill elected a new superintendent yesterday and has agreed to pay Robert Lane, a superintendent from Rye, N.Y., (39,000 a year. Haverhill has a smaller school system fhan Lowell, which has a 17,000 student population.

Four committeemen are reportedly heavily favoring McDougall as the next superintendent including Mayor Ellen A. Sampson, Joseph A. Abrams, Ernest L. Herrman and William C. Collins.

The three remaining members, Vicfor M. Forslcy, G. David Flanagan and Clement G. McDonough, have not indicated what they will do when voting for a new superintendent. THE CITIZEN'S panel report is expected to be handed to Mrs.

Sampson sometime today, but il is believed that it will not be made public until after the board has com to terms wilh one nF the three finalists. A fourth finalist, Gerard Smith, an assistant superintendent from East Islip, N.Y., was expected in the city yesterday, but did not show. He notified the committee later in the day that he had been elected as superintendent in New Bedford and was no longer interested in the low ell position. Officer Border. Zwicker and Insp.

rVfogan, man and a companion, monitoring the radio transmissions which continued from 3 a.m. until nearly 6 a.m. when the arrests were finally made. Using a meter on the Andover men's radio, police finally determined that Ihe area involved was near the Central Plaza off Back Central Street and moved several cruisers into that "We then heard the men warninR each oilier that cruisers were in the area," Newell said, "and pulled the cruisers to the outskirts in hopes that the men would identify the area (hey were in over the air." Meanwhile, fool patrolmen had been cheek ing all buildings in tne area to determine wnetner there was any evidence of a break. Police officers were slopping every car and pedestrian leaving the immediate area lo check for evidence.

They found none. Then Zwickcr remembered that Nicky's Cafe in' the area had not been checked for a break, went to the scene found three men in the bushes nearby. A SHOPPING BAG found near where the three men were hiding contained nearly (6,000 in bills and a bank bag. Almost immediately, the owner of Johnnie's Cafe reported to police lhat a break had taken place at his establishment. Police theorize that a man hie! in Ihe ladies room of the cafe when the cafe clused and later broke through a partition to avoid triggering a burglar alarm, disconnected the alarm, and let two others in through a skylight.

The men had apparently not finished (heir operation inside the cafe since a small safe had been opened but a larger one had apparently resisted efforts lo open it. The larger safe contained an additional $8,000. police say. While police were handcuffing the three suspects, they continued to hear a fourth voice calling over the walkie talkie radio. ATTEMPTS TO trick the man into revealing his location proved unsuccessful and the man Is siill at large.

Gabree, Adams and Kelley at first refused to give police (heir names or addresses hut eventually did so. They were all arraigned in district court this morning on charges of breaking and entering and larceny in Ihe nighttime. Police Supt. Ionard O. MacPhai! today commended the officers involved and the Andover man and his companion.

He said the officers "performed a fine bit of investigative police work" in tracing radio signals and making the arrests. Planners paint vision ot Lowell reborn By ELISSA PAPIRNO Sun Staff LOWELL Museums, restaurants, llolels, restored mills and canals could all contribute lo the creation of an urban national cultural park in Ihe city and make Ixtwell one of the major tourist attractions in the Northeast, say planners of a proposed Lowell Historic Canal District National Cultural Park. The park concept initiated by Model Cilies Education Component Director Patrick J. Morgan and then filed as a hill by former Congressman F. Bradford Morse in his final act on leaving Capitol Hill could help bring a much neeried economic revitalization to the city, the planners told the nearly 2C0 persons from all segments of Ihe Lowell community who attended an informational session about the park lasl night.

Hopes are alio lo tie in the new cultural park which would be the first urban national park in the country wilh the city's suque centennial celebration and the nation's bicentennial celebration in 1976. Featured speaker among the many repre LTI trustees slash budget but still need $70,000 LOWELL Adminisfrativc and teaching positions will remain unfilled, chemicals for laboratory work will remain unpurchased and personnel may have to do without merit pay increases at Lowell Technological Institute this year as the schools' trustees allempted last night lo balance the school's multi million dollar budget. Despite cutting more than $500,000, the school will still have lo request $70,000 more from the Governor and the state legislature in order to balance iis budget. The cuts, ordered by Gov. Francis W.

Sar Sargenl after the legislature cut the governor's Fiscal requests, are being made in all slate agencies, including other slate funded institutions ot higher education. There will be two semesters of the LTI evening division, but courses will be cut back severely and the semester length will be trimmed from 15 (o 14 weeks. In the past LTI has spent $320,000 a year on the evening division, which offered both required courses and clecfives. They will now spend $260,000 but with loss of elective and enrichment courses. No non credit students will he acepted in the evening division.

Meeting for more than two hours in executive session, Ihe trustees turned down a plan submitted by Acting President Everett V. Olsen' to eliminate Ihe second semester of evening school. Under the evening school format, the school purchases the services of non staff members to teach in the evening division. The cub will not eliminate any permanent employes at She stale supported school, Olsen says. No classes will be held on Friday nights, Olsen said.

THE BOARD also agreed to leave IS administrative and faculty positions vacant for the next fiscal year, saving (229,000. In those 15 posi lions are salaries for four new deans to be found by deans' search committees. "That means some of our teachers will have to take on more of a load than, before," Olsen said. The trustees did hire four new in structors at the session last night. The six faculty members now on sabbatical will not be replaced, saving and other faculty memhers will have lo take over their leaching loads.

The trustees have also agreed to grant no additional sabbaticals during the year unless replacement personnel are not necessary. Merit step pay increases for faculty, granted each September for LTI personnel and in February of each year at other state colleges, will be held back for the moment, the trustees voted. Should Ihe olhcr segments of higher education grant the merit steps in February, the trustees say they will fight for the increases for LTI faculty retroactive to this September. The merit increases would cost $132,000. TRAVEL, PRINTING AND telephone expenses will be watched and were cut.

Another $101,900 was taken from two accounts used to buy supplies for student laboratory work meaning that chemicals and other supplies will be in short supply for student work, something that angered some trustees in the executive session. "We are settling for academic mediocrity to meet Ihis fiscal crunch," one trustee reportedly told his colleagues during the executive session. With all the cutbacks, the school still needs fo balance the budget and will ask immediately for reslnralicn of $51,000 held mil of the budget. The funds are needed to meet the costs of a 4.3 per cent pay increase voted by the legislature but not funded. State agencies were (old to find the funds for the cost of living increase from their own budgets and in Lowell Tech's case that means finding $293,000.

The trustees also voted to begin talking with Secretary of Educational Affairs Joseph Cronin and Commissioner of Administration and Finance Robert Yasl about restoring other culs in all accounts when the legislature reconvenes Ihis fall. Gov. Sargent has stated he will submit no deficiency budgets to lawmakers Ihis year. sentalivcs of fhe various federal, sfafe, private, and local agencies interested in (he creation of an urban national park in Lowell was former Congressman Morse, who called Ihe proposed park "one of the most significant things that's happened to any city in the United Stales in a long, long time." STRESSING THE city's history as the birthplace of the industrial revolution in America and the world center of the textile industry, Morse noted that "we have a mosl unique and a most proud heritage and I'm proud to be a son of this city." The former congressman now a United Nations undersecretary general said Ihe city is "obsessed with its economic problems." Lowell's ''real problems," though, Morse said are not economic "but a symptom of the psychological and social problems which we've had because when Lowell lost the textile industry if lost iis identity." "The nation owes the city a greal debt," Morse stated, "and we can in the recognition of our heritage indeed find a new beginning and a rebirth," he stressed. "With your help, with your belief, with your support and with the cooperation of national leaders and state leaders, wilh the mayor and fhe city manager," Morse said, the urban national park concept could become a success, lie reminded his audience that Ihe bicentennial and susquecentennial is oniy 1152 days away, Model Cities human services corporation and education component director Patrick Mo gan also emphasized that Lowell "has a heritage worthy of sharing with the rest of the country." TO REVIVE fhe city Uwcll needs both "economic and cultural development," the former assistant school superintendent said.

"We're soiling culture as an economic opportunity," Mogan explained. After mentioning al! the rational, slate, local and private agencies which had become interested in the development of an urban nalional park in the city, Mogan stressed that "only through our advocacy can this be a reality." He said people have to "understand the concept, spread the concept, and look upon Lowell wifh a new frame of reference He added that the park planners want ideas and "active people dedicated to fhe idea:" Ford Foundation consultant to the project, urban revitalization specialist Dr. David Lewi's, also stressed the importance of community participation. He said Lowell is a city of contradictions wilh overwhelming beauty and great wastage and decay. He said fhe proposed park "will decay as sure as your city foday is decayed unless you care Unless yon meet (hat challenge the effort is utterly wasted," Lewis added! THE PLANNER also spoke of the MceisHy ot "good access and good parking," new museums, "superb hotels and restaurants." boutiques and other shops and perhaps flic eslab lishment of a national culinary school teach the many varieties of ethnic cooking present in Ihe city.

Also needed, Lewis said, is slate and federal subsidy money, local political support, a coordination of the work of city agencies, and the cooperation of fhe private sector. The private sector, Lewis contended, "is the key lo your salvation." Among Ihe other speakers at Ihe meeting lasl night were Mayor Ellen A. Sampson; Mrs. Emery Ireland, federal regional director for fhe American Bicenlennial Commission; Dr. Hichard W.

Hale, stale archivist arid acting commissioner of the Massachusetts Historical Commission; John Freeman of the New England Regional Commission; Jeffrey Pollock, assistant secretary of the slate executive office of commerce and development; and Francis W. Sidlauskas, stsfe executive director for the bicentennial commis Serving as moderator was Arthur Flynn of ihe urban national park program. Representatives of U. S. Senators Edward Kennedy and Edward Brooke were also present, as were state Reps, Cornelius Kiernan, Paul Sheehy, and Ronald MacKenzie.
