NORTHERN VALLEY THE RECORD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1981 BEIGETASSAIOWDSOH COUNTIES, KEW JERSEY C-2 Debate continues on N. Y. 's stalled primary timn uuy Street Both sides see help in census data However, council leaders contend there is no basis in law for a benchmark of 65 percent and argue that one of 50 percent or more is sufficient The latest figures showed that 37.9 percent of Hispanics in Manhattan listed themselves as white, 39 percent did so in the Bronx, and 41.9 percent did likewise in Brooklyn. In Queens and Staten Island, which are not affected by the Voting Rights Act, 62.2 and 63 percent of Hispanics named themselves as white in those boroughs, respectively. "I think it is helpful," Costikyan said of the new information and the council's quest to have the lines approved.

"There are still 15 that are more than 50 percent minority." The council now denies it used a "benchmark" of 53 percent minority population to put forth its original argument to the Justice Department. Had it stuck to the 53 percent, the council's argument would have lost three potentially minority seats with the latest figures, "I now think frankly that it 53 percent probably isnt a good benchmark. I don't accept the notion that there is a benchmark other than 50 percent," Costikyan By Molly Carruth United Press International NEW YORK A new breakdown of population makeup of the city was released yesterday, indicating that 37.9-to 41.9 percent of the city's Hispanics listed themselves as white on the 1980 Census. The new information could have bearing on the U.S. Justice Department's decision on the city's newly drawn lines for 35 city council district seats as to whether they fairly represent the city's minority communities.

Groups concerned that the new lines may discriminate against minorities succeeded in halting, with federal court orders, the city council's Sept. 10 primary elections The election cannot be held until the Justice Department makes a ruling on whether the lines are discriminatory. With release of the new information, both sides on the racial discrimination issue claimed the data would bolster their arguments. The city council lawyer, Edward Costikyan, contended the latest minority figures, requested of the Census Bureau by the Justice Department, back up the council's contention that there was a white population overcount, and that the new lines actually create the potential for 15 minority seats, not eight as originally thought. As the council interprets the latest figures, nine districts have minority populations of more than 65 percent; one district, 62 percent, and five more than 50 percent, said city council spokesman Joseph Fitzpa-trick at City HalL Therefore, he said, "nothing has changed" in the city's arguments that the lines should be approved and the election take place.

the Voting Rights Act, the Justice Department has jurisdiction in Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn, to protect minority voter interest from possible discrimination. The Puerto Rican Defense and Education Fund, however, said just the opposite. "It is clear now that Mr. Costikyan's new math made very little sense," said Cesar Perales, president and general counsel of the group. Perales noted that the Justice Department univer- sally accepts that a district must have 65 percent minority makeup before a minority representative has a fair chance of being elected.

TVto Two-way get Ri test dgewood FROM PAGE C-l terms of the computer and data-storage capability than the Ridgewood experiment. and Knight-Ridder are planning to start up a program in 1983 for as many as 5,000 homes in which both consumers and advertisers would pay for the service, though prices have not been estafi-lished. Two industry giants The venture announced yesterday is notable in that it represents the merging of two communications industry giants for the first time in a major test of home computer information technology. is the world's largest company, with assets of $125 billion. Through its existing telephone structure, would eventually be able to carry the information to video screens in more than 80 percent of the nation's homes.

First, however, comes the Ridgewood test. "We're delighted they selected Ridgewood as the community in which to come up with this kind of an experiment," Mayor Edward J. Butler said last night. "Computers have impacted people's lives to such an extent that we have become readily dependent on them." Butler said he wasn't sure why wood was picked the companies considered other sites served by in New York and California. But, he said, "They just thought Ridgewood was a community which has a diversity in its population.

Probably there's a sophistication and a ready awareness of computers here, and the people could be inclined to avail themselves of computers in their everyday activities." Survey of town planned Ridgewood, a community of 25,000 people whose per-capita income is more than 50 percent higher than the national average, was selected in part because the companies felt the town reflected the demographics of likely early buyers of the system. A CBS spokesman said likely buyers would have high incomes and be well educated, have diverse occupations, and be part of a cohesive community with good schools, parks, hospitals, and shopping places. The companies will select the households to participate in the experiment after conducting a survey of the town, Butler said. Those participants two groups of 100 families each who will par; ticipate for three-month stretches are expected to help shape the videotex systems that CBS and will install elsewhere. "The possible services that can be provided through videotex technology are vast, but we have to determine what people Harry E.

Smith, vice-president for technology at CBS, said in a statement. "This test will allow us to utilize the resources and creative skills of CBS to test a variety of options." CBS will be solely responsible for all Ihe information content of the system and will provide computer facilities and home terminals. Necessary telecommunications facilities will be obtained through New Jersey Bell. Advertising generated by CBS will also be available. er-based home information system, which will be hooked up by in-place tele- phone lines and which will allow two-way communication to the home and from the viewer.

Financial and industry experts expect such systems, generically known as videotex, to mushroom into as much as a JlO-billion-a-year business by 1990. The Ridgewood project represents CBS's foray into a third video broadcasting medium. Its regular television network employs through-the-air, or con-ventional, broadcasting. Next week, CBS will start up its own arts-and-entertain-ment cable network requiring cable lines-running to each hookup. Experimental videotex systems have been tried elsewhere.

In Coral Gables, Flai, with Knight-Ridder Newspapers ran a 14-month trial of a system supplying 160 homes with a variety of data, including shopping guides and educational material assembed by the newspaper chain. The trial, which concluded last month, was more limited in Arouiid Town Disabled persons invited to worship service ENGLEWOOD First Presbyterian Church invites handicapped persons to a special service celebrating the International Year of the Disabled.

Tenant power Winning political power on the local level was the focus of a meeting of the New Jersey Tenants Organization last month at Irving-ton High School. Hundreds of tenant leaders and several political lead-, ers from across the state attended.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate James Florio was on hand to receive the endorsement of the organization. He promised to continue to support the rights of tenants. "The economic policies coming out of Washington today will only make matters worse," he said. Assemblyman Byron Baer received an award from NJTO as the Outstanding Legislator of the Decade. NJTO Vice-President Mitch Kahn, candidate for the New Jersey Senate, spoke of the need for tenants to use their votes to win political power to improve housing conditions.

Bill Daley of New Milford was one of those elected to the NJTO board of directors. Leaf collections, week by week BERGENFIELD For prompt and efficient loose leaf collection, the public works department will concentrate its crews and equipment one part of town at a time. Pickups will be Tuesday to Oct. 16 in the areas west of the railroad track and north of main street; Oct. 19 to 23, west of the railroad track, between Main Street and New Bridge Road; Oct.

26 to 30, west of the railroad track and south of New Bridge Road, plus east of the track and south of Clinton Avenue; and Nov. 2 to 6, east of the track and north of Clinton Avenue. The schedule will be repeated the following four weeks (Nov. 9 to Dec. 4), barring unexpected interruptions or delays.

Leaves should be piled separately from brush, limbs, or branches, which cannot be picked up by leaf vacuums. Leaf piles must not block traffic or impede turning automobiles, particularly on major streets. Cars should not be parked on top of raked leaves, since a hot exhaust system can ignite them. Tom Corbett, public works superintendent, urges residents to schedule leaf raking as close to their collection week as possible, to avoid having their leaf piles scattered by the wind.

Massage-parlor ban weighed Ex-teacher FROM PAGE C-l He organized frequent field trips to such places as the Statue of Liberty, museums, New York restaurants, and the corner ice cream store. On occasion, he entertained groups of children at his Fort Lee apartment or attended their birthday parties.

Anagnosti had a reputation for motivating difficult and parents sought to place children in his class. In an interview last spring, Anagnosti talked about why he spent so much time with his pupils. "Teaching is both my job and my hobby," he said. "That's why I spend so many hours with the kids. I don't log the hours I put in.

Outside the classroom, I truly get to see them as human beings. And that's when they see me as a human being. Kids are more open on Saturdays too." He also spoke of his confidence in helping children. "People ask me why I have this close relationship with my kids. I think my life fulfillment came when I saw the kids actually enjoy coming to school, to hear parents say, 'Gee, my kid hated to get up in the morning.

Now he's jumping out of bed and running to If I get to know them, I'll know how to help them." His legal difficulties began in February when Vincent Ianni, a Leonia resident, accused him of molesting his son. The boy had been in Anagnosti's class 30 months earlier. Ianni took his case to the streets of Leonia, carrying a placard bearing the accusations along Broad Avenue and Fort Lee Road. Parents of two other boys subsequently filed complaints with the state Division of Youth Services. Under a plea-bargain agreement last March, Anagnosti pleaded guilty to a single charge.

A psychiatrist later testified that Anagnosti was incompetent at the time he entered the plea. The grand jury, which reviewed all the evidence in the case, indicted Anagnosti yesterday for allegations involving one child. Suit challenges FROM PAGE C-l Chairman Vincent Rigolosi wasn't playing coy. "I'm sure someone suggested the suit to the man, and he thought it was a good idea and agreed to do it," Rigolosi said last night. "And why not? If they want to put the referendum on the ballot for political reasons, what's wrong with trying to take it off for political reasons?" Freeholder-Director Harry Gcrccke, a Republican who introduced the referendum proposal in August, said his administration would fight any restraining order.

Gcrecke said it would be costly to stop printing ballots at this stage. "To reprint and reproof them at this late hour would jeopardize the timing of the absentee ballot mailings and the whole election," Gcrecke said. "We feel it's a nonbinding referendum. It's a free expression of public opinion and should be allowed." When the referendum question was raised at the Aug. 19 freeholders meeting, Democrats John Curran and Gerald Calabrese abstained from voting, saying that putting it on the ballot would be a waste of public funds.

Gcrccke has estimated that the cost will be about $550 for legal advcr'lscrnonts advising the pub lie of the ballot position. Republican Freeholders Gcrccke, Charles Reld, Joan Steinackcr, and Joseph Carucci supported the referendum, along with Democrat Doris Mnhallck. Freeholders Robert Pallolta and Archie Hay were absent from the Aug. 19 meeting. Gcrccke has said he hopes that a strong vote against the name might prompt stale legislators to try again to rename the arena, A name-changing attempt failed in the Assembly In June by a 33-30 vote.

"This ordinance should stand up in court for the control of massage parlors and the sale of sexual devices." Although the ordinance does not mention adult-book stores, any store selling sexual devices would fall under the ordinance, Marchitto said. An ordinance regulating pinball and other amusement machines may be brought to the council in a few months, said Marchitto.

He said the borough attorney has yet to read the ordinance, which would license amusement machines. By Maria Wood Correspondent PROSPECT PARK The borough council is considering a ban on massage parlors and on the manufacture and sale of sexual devices. Councilman Alfred Marchitto, speaking at last night's work session, said the borough attorney has drafted an ordinance establishing such a ban. He said the council may introduce the ordinance at its meeting on Tuesday. "We should take this step before we have the problem," said Councilman Frederick De Ruiter.
