The teachers' union maintained throughout the dispute that whether the teachers were guilty or innocent of the allegations was not the issue.

In the case of First Houses, Christian noted that the start of construction on Nov. 1, 1934, was the climax of efforts by two generations of reformers for "government action to eradicate the New York City slums, which were already world famous as uninhabitable and dehumanizing."

Retarded Rap Yilson on His 'Phony' Vow By HUGH WYATT Some 75 demonstrators, Including several mentally retarded youngsters, picketed yesterday la front of Gov. Wilson's midtown offices against what they called his "phony promise' to build a playground for retarded children in Greenwich Village. Mrs.

Myma Posner, co-chairman of the group, charged that both Wilson and the State Department of Mental Hygiene 'have shown us all that they are insensitive to the needs of the retarded through their failure to act on this matter." Mrs. Posner, demonstrating at the Governor's office at 1350 Sixth said that she and others have attempted for more than a year to persuade the state to purchase a lot of 8,173 square feet, with a two-story garage, located next to the Sheridan unit of the Manhattan Developmental Center, at 75 Morton St. Wilson Promised On Sept. 27, Wilson announced that he would ask the Legislature to approve a deficiency appropriation to permit the unit to purchase the property. He said tnen that the playground "will provide important addition to the center's comprehensive program of services for the retarded and other developmentally disabled:" But Mrs.

Posner and the other demonstrators said that the request from Wilson would coma only after the election and if he is not elected, the request to tha Legislature would be too lfttl- and too late. Another demonstrator, Assemblyman Antonio Olivieri (D-Man-hattan), asserted that Wilson does not have to wait and ask the legislature for the money, an estimated $200,000, to. purchase the property. There are several sources of surplus funds "which could be used to purchase -the property immediately," ha said. Friends of Park FuM(e fflun for the PJloney fin Vn If 'HI "tS lift A iHr' flftf It fcl w9r vtf mj If gig a'lgl lillM ii if 8 By ALBERT DAVILA About 40 joggers, including two over 60, ran 10 miles from the Bronx to City Hall yesterday to present Mayor Beame with their camplaint: Macombs Dam Park has been forgotten.

The runners, who ran under the banner of the Committee to Save Macombs Dam Park, are seeking money to rehabilitate the park. They feel the city has pumped too much money to rebuild Yankee Stadium, just across the street- A Jodrney of 2 Hours And so yesterday morning at 10:30, armed with placards and worn-out sneakers, the joggers made a run for the money to fix up the park. They arrived at City Hall two hours later with a petition to the mayor, 3,500 signatures, a list of grievances and plentv of sweat. The committee said New York City does not have "an accessible, first-class track and field facility" such as Macombs Dam Park could become. It urged the mayor to introduce floodlights, an all-weather track, and lockers and showers.

"We are also afraid part of the park will become a parking lot for Yankee Stadium," said Robert Urrutia, co-chairman of the committee. "I don't have concrete evidence, but when someone lets a good field deteriorate like this, you suspect the worst." Ex-Maraihoner in Running Myles Jackson, who organized the committee, said more than 50,000 people use Macombs annually and estimated that improvements would bring more than three times that many. The run attracted former U.S. Olympic Team marathon runner Gordon McKenzie, who won a silver medal in the 1963 Pan American games. Councilman Barry Salman, wbo represents the Bronx district where the park is situated, didn't make the run himself but warmly greeted the joggers on their arrival at City Hall.

Just before the start of the race, Leo Schwartz, wbo Is 64, looked at a bunch of high school yungsters doing warm up exercises and said: "Well, I may not last all of it. I'll run as far as I can, then take the subway. 3 Girls Two 10-Year-Olds But 62-year-old Joe Kleinerman, who is a coach with the Road Runners Club of New York, vowed to make it all the way through for the park "I've been coming to for the last 47 years."
