Kordia, unopposed for the Democratic Party chairmanship for the oast four years, was not expected to be challeng ed wis lime. The Democratic Organization's election will be held at the Brownstone House on McBride Avenue. Kordja has indicated the balloting can be held either in private or through an open show of hands, whichever the county committee members prefer.

She said the open elections demanded in the past by county leaders to determine which committee members are "faith Mm i ful" practically no longer exist "If a leader doesn't have the voluntary support of his or her touowers, now can be be capable of doing the kind of job which requires that support" Kordia said shortly before she announced her plans to step down as party boss. A voting machine will be used in the Republican vote, which will be held at Continued from Page 1 Meanwhile, the American Airlines DC-10 that crashed in Chicago last month had been forced to make at least seven unscheduled landings in the past five years because of equipment malfunctions, the Los Angeles Times has learned. The Times said the ill-fated jetliner also had been required to shut down an an engine on four occasions, had used its fire extinguishers four times, and dumped fuel while in flight at least once. Within a nine-day period in 1975, the paper reported today, two of the plane's three engines failed. One was replaced and the other was repaired.

A history of the plane's problems has been prepared by the Federal Aviation Administration's safety data section in Oklahoma City and turned over to the National Transportation Safety Board, which is -investigating the cause of the May 25 crash. According to a Times review of voluminous but little-known files on the 1,546 unscheduled landings by U.S. wide-bodied jetliners since 1974, the crashed DC-10's rate of forced landings was higher than the Industry average of about one per plane each year. Area authorities, had at first feared the FAA's sudden decision Wednesday morning to take all DC-lOs out of service indefinitely would cause choas at the airports. American, which has the largest DC-10 operation, operated four departures on schedule between 7:15 a.m.

and 12:30 p.m. with little or no inconvenience to passengers. Boeing 707 and 747 jetliners were substituted for some flights and some passengers were sent to other airlines. Both American and United were busing some travelers between Newark, LaGuardia and Kennedy to take advantage of space available on substitute aircraft But the shuttling occasioned little or no delay. A spokesman for National Airlines in Miami, Roland Little, said it had only four scheduled DC-10 departures Wednesday from the New York area, two from Newark and two from LaGuardia.

He said it was hoped to accommodate all travelers on these flights aboard Boeing 727s. A World Airways spokesman said one DC-10 flight scheduled to leave from Newark at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday was canceled. McDonnell Douglas Corp. invested more than $1 billion in development of the DC-10 the wide-body, tri-Jet Jetliner.

Worldwide, 274 of the planes were in service on 41 airlines with U.S. airlines flying 138 of them when the FAA ordered the grounding. The planes daily averaged more than 750 flights and 135,000 passengers. the Wayne Manor the first time in that organization's history.

Soon, her entire left hand cramped, then her right hand, then her legs started to fail her.

"I kept hoping it was a brain tumor, Beverly says, "I wanted it to be the kind of thing they could just cut out and it would be over with."

As a result, a lot of marijuana -shipments may have been switched to boats, the observers said. Ted Kennedy aspirations discounted United tita MemalioMl WASHINGTON Robert Strauss, President Carter's international trade representative and troubleshooter on other issues, said Wednesday he does not believe Sen.

Edward M. Kennedy, will be a candidate for president. "I happen to believe Senator Kennedy will not be a candidate," the former Democratic national chairman told reporters. "Senator Kennedy wants to help the president. He looks forward to supporting him." "I have no basis for that statement.

It's my instinct," said Strauss, who until recently was Carter's chief adviser on Inflation. He is currently the president's special trade representative and is taking on additional duties for Carter regarding the Middle East. Strauss predicted Kennedy, in the next two or three months, "will be doing more than he has done to clarify his position as a non-candidate." Strauss said Washington is "overob-sessed" with Kennedy. About the only person who isn't, he said, is Carter, whom Strauss sees frequently. SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico Four men arrested aboard a marijuana boat carrying $34 million in marijuana the sixth "pot boat" seized in the Caribbean in 10 days are American citizens, the Coast Guard said Wednesday.

The Charles a 70-foot shrimp boat, was stopped by the Coast Guard cutter Gallatin Tuesday afternoon about 100 miles southwest of Puerto Rico. The vessel was well known around the Caribbean for "good Samaritan" relief work. It assisted earlier this year in evacuations from the burning cruise ship Angelina Lauro in the U.S. Virgin Islands and from the island of St. Vincent during the eruption in the La Soufriere volcano.

The Coast Guard said the Charles was carrying 17 tons of marijuana. At a street price of $1,000 per pound, the pot would be worth $34 million, officials said. Street price differs from area to area. The Coast Guard identified the four men as Clinton Hayes, of Tampa, James Swope of Miami, Stephen Black of California and Ron Auth, whose hometown was unknown. Another boat, the luxury yacht Back-runner registered in Nassau, Bahamas, was seized earlier this week by another Coast Guard cutter with about 5,000 pounds of marijuana 400 miles northwest of Puerto Rico.

It had a crew of two Americans and one Canadian who have not yet been Identified. Four other vessels laden with marijuana have been seized around the Caribbean in the past 10 days and. a total of more than 150,000 pounds have been confiscated. Total street value of the drug which will be destroyed was $150 million. Most of the crewmen arrested on charges of conspiracy to smuggle marijuana were Colombians.

TO. Rubberback llerculon f) The Family Lif Development Center has begun a program to train caseworkers which is similar to training provided at a police academy. DYFS is currently reviewing the plan; acceptance would mean a major social service breakthrough in the state Unless caseworkers receive such training they will continue to be poorly equipped to deal with child abuse. Once tte child abuse problem rears its' ugly head it must be properly investigated. "The most difficult problem is to trace a pattern of abuse," Hudson County assistant prosecutor Paul DePascale said.

"What will appear not to be abuse can turn out to be so." caseworkers minimize the gravity of an individual child abuse case, through poor training or inexperience. The burden of investigation is tossed to prosecutors. Prosecutors say their inability to gain access to DYFS files until a case is before a grand jury hampers child abuse investigations. Prosecutors in Hudson, Bergen and Passaic all say dealing with the child abuse problem would be easier if DYFS made them aware of all cases where criminal abuse is suspected. DYFS is supposed to report such cases to the county prosecutors.

But caseworkers tend to minimize abuse cases and often have recommended that no further investigations be done when a child is actually in serious danger. The reporting system must be improved to the point where prosecutors are fully informed about all suspected child abuse cases so that criminal proceedings may be pursued. Once child abuse cases are detected and once children are protectively removed from their homes, the state must have homes for those children. Right now there are not enough foster homes or state-run residential facilities for abused children. The state DYFS budget is tremendous more state money should be devoted to foster care.

Children who are removed from their homes need an atmosphere of good will. According to Bergen County Assistant Prose--cutor Mark Treacy, too many abused children become juvenile delinquents and later abuse their own children.

TO. Continued from Page 1 Although doctors are required by law to report child abuse cases, the law is practically unenforceable since law enforcement officials have no way of monitoring doctors' practices. Too often, doctors are afraid of breaking up the family unit or of being sued by the parents if they mistakenly report what appears to be a case of child 'abuse. In other doctors misdiagnose signs of child abuse, such as bruises or burns, as the result ot innocent home accidents. Dr.

Sophie Pierog, director of pediatrics at the Jersey City Medical Center, is involved in the detection of child abuse. "I would like to see some sort of system created by the legislature that there would be certain groups of lawyers (prosecutors) and judges trained in (detecting) child abuse so they have more in-depth knowledge," Pierog said. Pierog said the emotional trauma suffered as a result of child abuse may take years to manifest itself. "Someone once asked me, 'Wouldn't this (public training about child abuse) cost the taxpayers more Pierog said. "I answered it was a matter of priorities.

Eventually you'll have to pay to support these people in the public service system, even if it's in jail." But detection of child abuse cases is not all that needs improvement. Once child abuse has been detected, DYFS must work harder to investigate individual cases and to consider the welfare of the child, not just the welfare of the parents, Caseworkers must visit the family, ask probing questions, and make judgements about whether or not a crime has been committed. They hold the family's fate in their hands an awesome responsibility. It is the caseworkers who can recommend that a child be placed with foster parents if they suspect the child is being abused. Caseworkers also decide whether a child who has been badly beaten should remain in the home for the sake of keeping the family together.

DYFS must turn its attention to hiring well-qualified caseworkers and establishing a comprehensive training program for them. But in New Jersey, the caseworkers who handle child abuse cases are poorly equipped to deal with the problem. They receive minimal training from DYFS. Michael Nunno trains caseworkers for the Family Life Development Center at Cornell University in Ithaca. The center runs the federally-subsidized Protective Services Institute, which studies child abuse in this country.

"(Social work degrees) provide a knowledge base, which is important. What you don't get is skills," said Nunno. Nunno says beginning social workers need training programs. South Carolina is the only state in the union which has a regular certification program for caseworkers, he says. I (Am.tronBl tV.
