i Ot DAILY NEiyS, SATURDAY APJUL 1J News briefs ayuniyraUlh mum By KEITH MOORE 2 Commuter Cars (Derailed in Tunnel will be unable to meet its payroll at the end of this month to its major vendors. Controller Harrison Goldin said 1 Dolly's in i 5- Tt I The City University if it defers payments even day. Goldin said the university would exceed its budgeted allotment of $24.4 million by $4.5 million and that a move by university Chancellor Robert Kibbee to temporarily halt payments to vendors in order to pay teachers first would still leave the university short of cash. Goldin, asserting that the university would be in defiance of state law by halting- the payments, said he would bring the matter before the Emergency Financial Control Board on Monday in order to seek compliance with the university's spending: limits. Meanwhile.

Kibbee maintained that the controller's figures were incorrect and the deferral of payments to the university's vendors was being done because the university would be only $2 million short on April 30. "I am sure the vendors won't like this," Kibbee said but "they (the vendors) are used to having payments from the city coming in late." The chancellor's move to put off the vendors' payments came after Goldin had characterized the move as "fiscal gimmickry" and maintained that Kibbee's plan was the kind of thing which got the city in financial trouble in the first place. Administrative Payroll The university has another payroll for the administrative staff coming up next Friday, but both Goldin and Kibbee appeared to agree that there would be little difficulty in meeting this amount of $2.7 million due to administrative staff. It is the April 30 payroll which is under serious question. The university must then come up with $19 million to meet that payroll.

Goldin claimed that his figures showed that the university would have to spend close to $29 million in order to cover this month's expenditures. But under orders of the control board, the university is only allowed to spend about $24.4 million. Kibbee claimed that Goldin was well aware of what the university's real fiscal problem was.

"I used to have shows at the Brooklyn Paramount and the New York Paramount at the same time," he said. "I would take the subway back and forth and there was never any trouble." At the track, among the first people to wave was a cashier at the $100 window.

"He must have gotten a promotion," Crosby said. "That's one -window I've never been to." He later munched a hot dog, drank beer and checked his program just like everyone else. That is until Hall of Fame jockey Frank Cplitetti came up to him. After exchanging greetings and reminiscences, Colitetti checked off on Crosby's program the horses he thought would win. "I won't bet the first race," Crosby said.

Colitetti's choice won. Crosby bet $10 win and $10 to show on his pick for the second. Colitetti's choice won while Crosby's horse was 'ast. Again, like everyone else, Crosby didn't sing the blues, just put his head back in the Racing Form to prepare for the rest of the program or to follow his philosophy about betting at the track: "You're bound to (ose if you bet every race," i The rear two cars of a six-car Conrail commuter train bound for Croton-Harmon derailed in the Park Ave. tunnel between 46th and 47th Sts.

Spencer, 35, of 243-11 136th was arrested last Aug. 27, aid charged with assault, reckless endangerment, possession of a pistol, and menacing.
