Reconsider Policy, Board Told By JOE STARK Staff Writer Paramus In response to the demands of the parents of 250 high school students whose school bus service has been curtailed, the Council has asked the Board of Education to review its transportation policy. Mayor Charles E. Reid former president of the Board of Education, said the Council-men discussed inequities in the policy and requested the Board to consider restoration of busing to the students who lost it this year.

The residents affected by the policy switch live east of Forest Avenue in the Midland Avenue sector of the Borough.

Joint meetings of the Council and school trustees are uncommon except for budgetary discussions, but Reid said such meetings have occurred in the past on policy questions. Legally, the two governing bodies are autonomous. Board of Education members were unavailable for comment on last night's meeting because they continued their caucus session well into the morning.

It did not, however, open other school activities to the elderly. The plan was devised by Willis Swale, adult education director for the regional school that includes in its district Montvale, River Vale, Hillsdale, and Woodcliff Lake.

He said the shortage was not critical.

The joint session was called last night by the Council in response to a delegation of parents who appeared at the Council work session Monday night denouncing the school trustees as unresponsive to their needs.

Reid said he was convinced that money was not a factor in deciding the busing policy. "You have to consider that teachers salaries take up 80 percent of the budget, Reid said. The Board maintains that the policy switch was made to correct inconsistencies in the former policy. Present at tne meeting last night were the entire Board of Education and Councilmen Tho mas L.

The school trustees had promised residents earlier a review of the transportation policy change for next year, but apparently ruled out restoration of the transportation this year. Reuben Samuels, president of the Board, has announced a special meeting in November to outline alternate busing proposals.

Reid, however, said after last night's meeting that he expects Rabbi try Free adult education classes will be available to the elderly under a program sponsored by Pascack Valley Regional High School District. The program was designed to benefit those elderly persons who pay taxes for a school system that they do not use.

"My wife counted at least 15 children and I've talked to some of the families and they tell me that Tiedemann (Bus Company of Hillsdale) won't take them because he can't make enough profit." And Murphy claims that an equal share of the blame for the busing problem, and other educational problems here as well, lies with Republicans and Democrats because of an old issue of responsibility regarding the District. He claimed the Democrats were in power when the District was formed. When dissatisfaction with it became apparent, (Continued on C-2, Column 3) completed arrangements for it.

He has joy but no vindictive-ness toward the Arabs," commented Rabbi Joseph Rudavsky upon his return from Israel. Mr. Rudavsky, rabbi at Temple Sholom on Howland Avenue, spent July and August touring Israel, where he was a delegate to the 70th annual convention of the Zionist Organization of America.

Mr. Rudavsky added that the Israeli people have no feeling of having taken revenge on the Arabs. "They have emerged from what has come to be known as the Six Days War, not as bellicose and vindictive victors, but confident in their own power and might. Their power is not in tanks and jets alone, but the power of faith and of the human spirit. They are a people who saw the might of their enemy arrayed against them and heard that enemy swear to drive them into the sea," he said.

The rabbi indicated that Israel had been prepared for a much longer war.

The planned opening next 'ir i Friday promises to produce a crisis similar to one earlier in the year. The Parkway set machinery in motion to reopen the interchange at the same time as the Borough prepared to erect its own barricades. On that occasion, Tonti called (Continued on C-3, Column 6) guishing himself by outstanding meritorious service in connection with ground operations against a hostile force in Vietnam from April 23 to May 25.

Patrolman Allan Rosenkranz is attending school. Last week the Township Committee granted a 3-month leave of absence to Patrolman Donald Fournier, who is not expected to return. Acting Chief Captain Thomas Simpson is acting chief. Donald Vollender wasc promoted to lieutenant in July. There are eight patrolmen.

With an average of three men taking their days off simultaneously, the Department usually is left with eight men splitting three shifts. The shortage has caused the midnight to 8 A. M. shift to be worked by only two men: one in the station, the other in the cruiser. "If two things happened at once on opposite ends of town during that shift, somebody would have to scramble," said one patrolman.

According to Murray, the Department has never had a Table of Organization. Without one, there is only tradition to determine the number of sergeants, lieutenants, and patrolmen. For example, the Department had two lieutenants until Simpson received his captaincy, and his vacant lieutenant's position has never been filled. Likewise, one of the three sergeants positions has remained empty since the last promotion from that post. Murray said that at least one man probably will be promoted to sergeant after the first of the year.

He said that he had not discusssd with the Mayor the possibility of appointing another patrolman to the force. "But there is a good possibility that when we appoint a sergeant we'll hire another man," he said.

Paramus Mayor Charles Reid (R.) has been informed that Garden State Parkway executives intend to reopen Interchange 166 next Friday. "But if they do, they will be met with either our barricades or a court injunction," Reid said.

D. Louis Tonti, executive director of the Parkway, told Reid yesterday of his plans to open the interchange at the border after closing it for a 7-Washington Township-Paramus month period. Borough officials claim the entrances and exits of the interchange are safety hazards, and that- the closing was intended to be permanent.
