HOLLYWOOD AT HIRNFYPlAVA MOOSIf: many of the employees of the station formed a virtual parade, going into his office, offering him their condolences. As a newsman in broadcast journalism here for 37 years, spent entirely with WGBI Radio and WDAU-TV, once sister stations owned by heirs of the late Frank Megargee, Powell hired many of the pervins now the nes department of VSDAU and many of them still show more of a loyalty lo him than they do to the oul-of ton officials who have taken over. Powell still claims to be news director and declines to say more about the situation, explaining that matters are at a "delicate" stage. But rumors have been flowing liberally from the station for the past several days and getting information from various sources has been easy despite an order reportedly issued last week by Bohi for staffers not to talk to the press In addition, the new management reportedly has adopted a new policy of requiring all inquiries from other news media lo be submitted in questions on paper and will be answered the same way.

In the meantime, station executives have been reported to be at "meetings" or otherwise engaged elsewhere when comment is sought from them. They also have not been returning telephone calls Despite the attempt at a news blackout, it was learned that Larry Stire-wald or High Point, C. has been hired by the new management to replace Powell and could be in his job as early as Monday. Stirewald is former news director of WGHP-TV in High Point, which covers the Greensboro area. Bohi and others hired by him here are also from there.

Ironically, it was a spokesman at WGHP-TV who confirmed that Stirewald is coming to WDAU. Powell, who has a contract with WDAU dating back to the prior local management, reportedly still claims the same job Stirewald is coming to claim. Sources within the station report that "there is great fear' pervading the staff of other firings to come and many persons reportedly are secretly searching out other jobs with other TV station POST HOLIDAY jU ncn VIDEO CAAERAS U' i station I news programi for the past seven years. For instance. Miss Dunleavy as given a day off "with My" leveral weeks tRO for having her Hair trimmed in a beauty shop without getting an UK first from the station management Sources within the station reported that Miss Dunleavy had her hair trimmed and layered while she was on a Christmas we-k vacation and when she came back to work, she was chastited by Kenneth Gonzalei.

the station program manager, for getting the new hair style He said her hair had been hacked." Gomalei and Miss Dunleavy reportedly argued heatedly over the matter but he completed that work shift. The next day, however, she was called by Gonzalez and was told to take the day off -to cool off." That night, Kathy McLaughlin, a staff iworter, coanchored the news with Jeff Bamd, the anchorman, and Miss Dunleavy absence was not explained It also as learned that Miss Dunleavy has suffered what sources call "other irritations" from Gonzalez over such things as her garments, jewelry and makeup since he became the program director in October Miss Dunleavy, who has an unlisted telephone number, could not be reached for comment on the report that the incident not only happened but that "everyone at the station knew about it In theory, Miss Dunleavy is under the authority of Powell, the news director, but after the Atlanta, Ga firm of Southeastern Capital Inc. bought the station in July for $10 A million, Powell has been isolated more and more by Gene Bohi, the new vice president and general manager. Powell reportedly received notice last week that his services will no longer be needed but since Bohi was out of town and the order came from William Ferrell, the general sales manager, Powell balked at leaving. However, he did remove most of his files and other personal possessions from his office.

CPEN EVERYDAY 9 to 5:33 By FRANK SCHOLZ Tins Suit Wrttor. Scranton Mayor James Barrett McNulty made history at the U.S.

Conference of Mayor's three-day mid-winter meeting in Washington, when he was named during Saturday's closing session to the organization's executive committee. "Mayor McNulty is the first first-term mayor to be named to the executive committee by the Conference of Mayors." according to Michael Bron, a spokesman for the group McNulty said his appointment to the committee "puts Scranton on the map Brown described the 11 -member executive committee as the leadership and policy-making committee of the powerful organization. The conference, which is headquartered in Washington, DC, represents 830 cities in the country with populations of M.000 or more population. The three-day mid winter meeting held at L'Enfant Plaza in Washington was attended by over 160 mayors, Brown said. The spokesman said McNulty will remain a member, of the executive committee as long as he is a mayor Other members include the mayors of San Francisco, Calif; City, Missouri; Cleveland.

Ohio; Houston, Texas, and Washington, C. McNulty was nominated for the prestigious post by Henry Maier who, as mayor of Milwaukee, for the past 25 years, is the "dean of America's mayors." Brown quoted Detroit Mayor Coleman Young, also a member of the executive committee, as saying that McNulty's "outstanding service" to the conference of mayors justified his appointment to the executive committee McNulty maintained his appointment will give him an opportunity to serve as an equal on the leadership bodv with the mavnrv nf larpor Cllien i 'Vf. I WY0MIK6 I -SHUT 1 I "Tiri Puts Ci ity He also said it will give him an opportunity to lobby on behalf of the conference and Scranton for vital urban programs. Chief among these, he said, are the Urban Development Action Grant fUDAGi program and general revenue-sharing program. UDAG monies were instrumental in the development of the Hilton at Lackawanna Station, the Montage recreational complex and Allied Services for the Handicapped General revenue-sharing funds, the mayor noted, make up approximately 10 percent of Scran-ton's current budget The conference is expected to rally support for both programs if.

as expected, the Reagan administration attempts to cut or terminate them in the next fiscal year budget McNulty was appointed to a vacancy on the executive committee created when Heman Padilla. former mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, vacated the position of president of the Conference of Mayors "Everyone moved up," Brown said, "creating a vacancy on the executive committee." The next meeting of the conference is slated for June in Anchorage, Alaska. At the mid-winter meeting. Brown said, the mayors received briefings from a number of congressional leaders and federal agency executives on budget issues, tax-reform proposals, transportation and the full urban agenda. As a member of the executive committee.

Brown said, McNulty will be in on developing policies and positions taken by the conference. At its annual June meeting, the conference as a whole reviews resolutions and policy positions proposed by its member mayors. "At all other times," Brown said, "this policy-makmg power rests with the executive committee with a 4H On' bfiLG M29.95 SALE arijinal iorrprtfyisiia. nr rm 9 ew spo rtight SJr end Imarv wMe firsll. in I'm rw IIUCE EU'JTIFUL SELECTION OF BASKETS DECORATOR TODAYS ermxG the rickt job: mm BCC1SI014LUC1KQ Sk of coreef decnion-makingi wlf atwsitrwnt, onalsii ot coretf options employment options, resume writing, employment interviewing ob search techniques.
