He is the major fundraiser for the Rotary Club, and his committee has raised enough to buy the Ber the red, black, ByJudl Dash Staff Wntar OLD TAPPAN The house at 15 Wcstcott St. has all the luxuries a suburban homeowner might want a circular driveway, a three-car garage, a backyard filled with trees. It also has a West German flag flying from a pole on the front lawn. The red, black, and gold flag, which flies from a 25-foot high fiberglass pole with brass ball tips, is Manfred Nbwottny's way of expressing pride in his homeland, which he left in 1952 at the age of 14.

Nowottny is now a United States citizen, a fact of which he is also proud, as witnessed by the American flag that flies 50 feet to the right of the German one. What's wrong with this picture? Plenty, say about 15 of Nowottny's neighbors, who, for a variety of reasons, object to Nowottny's particular way of showing his pride. "I think it's in poor taste," complains one Westcott Street resident, who asked not to be named. "I don't see the necessity of proving one's allegiance to one's mother country when you've chosen to live here. There are other ways to love and support your homeland without forcing your views on your neighbors.

I feel like I'm living across the street from the German embassy." Several neighbors said news of the flag has spread beyond Old Tappan, and people from other towns now drive down Westcott Street just to see the controversial property. "I've seen whole carloads of people drive real slowly up to the Nowottny house and just sit there staring at that flag," says one neighbor. "This street's turning into some sort of sightseeing spot. Next thing you know they'll be setting up -Coke stands and selling balloons." Another neighbor worries about Stall photo by Gordon Corbett Jr. Manfred Nowottny has two jlag poles, two flags, and some neighbors he doesn't understand.

Hacker gen County Blood Bank a vehicle and equipment for the Hackensack Heart Rescue Team. He was nominated for the Retailer of the Year Award by the Bergen County Chamber of Commerce.

at Foschini Park. Drug discovery Dr, Mark S. Gold, a psychopharmacologist at the Connecticut Mental Health Center run by Yale University School of Medicine's psychiatry department, has found that Clonidine, a recent drug being prescribed for high blood pressure, prevents withdrawal symptoms in drug addicts. Dr. Gold, a 1967 graduate of Teaneck High School, warned that there are dangerous side effects which make it inadvisable for addicts to use Clonidine.

With Clonidine, he said, six of 10 methadone addicts have been able to discontinue use of methadone, experiencing relief from distress without euphoria. Dr. Gold will move to Fair Oaks Hospital in Summit as director of research, Psychiatric Institutes of America, in July. He will also hold an appointment as lecturer in Yale's Department of to do what the law says I can," says Nowottny. is not democracy." Wants meeting Nowottny wants to meet with the neighbors who object to his flags.

"I would like to resolve this with my neighbors amicably, but I do not feel I necessarily have to comply with what they want," he says. "Of course you can't tell a man what to do with his property," agrees one Westcott Street resident who is opposed to the flags. "But you' can ask your neighbor to be more sensitive to your feelings. If I put up a 20-foot sign saying eat at Joe's, nobody could make me take it down. But it would be an eyesore, and I should feel an obligation to consider removing it." "The whole problem is that the flag is so large and so new and so bright," says another neighbor.

"Everytime I come home I say, oh my God, here it is again. It's just so shocking." Nazis. If I were a resident of Skokie, I would be demonstrating against the marchers." Flag defended "The man has every right to do what he wants," says Nancy Squi-tieri, who lives at 14 Westcott St. "This whole thing is being blown way out of proportion. Whatever a person decides to put on his lawn is okay with me, as long as it isn't against the law or immoral." All the neighbor's agree Nowottny's flag display is perfectly legal.

As required by United States law, the American flag flies to the right of and no lower than the foreign one. And both flag poles are being wired for electricity to comply with the law that the American flag may not fly after dusk unless lighted. "It seems strange to me as an immigrant to this country, where you are supposed to be free in every way, and where I am legally allowed to do this, that there is pressure not Nowottny's timing in hoisting his flags, which went up about two weeks ago. "The Nazi march in Skokie, 111., is coming up this weekend," says the neighbor. "I don't feel it's his intent in any way, shape, or form to be an-tisemitic or to show any sympathy at all with the Nazis, but the whole thing is such a passionate subject, I'm afraid we're gonna have all kinds of people who don't understand the situation down here.

We could have a lot of trouble." (American Nazi Party leader Frank Collin yesterday said the planned demonstration in Skokie, a heavily Jewish suburb of Chicago, has been called off.) Nowottny balks at the idea of his patriotic gesture being interpreted as support for the demonstration. "The timing is totally a coincidence," he says. "We planned to landscape our home and put up the flags a year ago, and we've just finished it now. I am certainly not a Nazi, and I have no sympathies with Paintings on view HACKENSACK Three-dimensional acrylic paintings by Domin-ick De Rose of Hackensack are being shown this month in the John-- son Library.

Zoning bracket deleted Pallotta, a board member, had recommended to the planners that multi-family dwellings be deleted from the master plan and that the building inspector be instructed not to issue permits for other than one- and two-family homes. Evelyn Meier of 244 Highland Ave. praised the mayor for his proposal "You demonstrated true concern for protecting residents of the borough from any further density and pollution," Mrs. Meier told Pallotta. Councilman Raymond Fiscella pointed out that the residential character of the town can be maintained by barring new multiple dwellings.

"This may not be the 100 percent ByJoAnn Michaels Star! Writer PALISADES PARK The mayor and council last night approved a rent-leveling ordinance that prohibits1 landlords from charging separate rents for off-street parking. Borough zoning requires one off-street parking space for each apartment. Under the new code, landlords must provide each tenant with an off-street parking space free, but may charge a fee for additional spaces. Mayor Robert P. Pallotta explained that the new law isn't retroactive and, therefore, the borough couldn't make landlords reimburse tenants for previous parking fees.

The amendment was prompted by complaints from tenants that they were being charged for minimal parking. In another matter, the governing body approved a resolution requesting the planning board to conduct a public hearing on an amendment to the zoning ordinance that would ban multifamily homes and to adopt a master plan to bar further development of such structures in the borough.
