WILLIAM KOREY NEW HOLIDAY STORE HOURS: OPEN SUNDAY 11-6: DAILY 10-10 rm a rvi WW QMf State police at Hazleton were attempting to determine today whether the bus involved in Wednesday's fatal accident near Hazleton was fit to be traveling public ruads. One of the passengers aboard the ill-fated bus James Costello, 79, of Free-land died Wednesday night at Hazleton State General Hospital as a result of injuries suffered in the crash, which took place shortly before noon. Witnesses, including some passengers, said the bus appeared to lose its steering moments before the crasn and drifted into the path of a tractor-trailer.

"The bus started going into the other lane," Debbie Wol-chko told The Citizens' Voice. "Mike (driver Mike Fulton) kept trying to turn the wheel but the steering just wouldn't go" "We're almost exclusively pursuing that," said Trooper William Chuckra when asked about the old bus' apparent sterring malfunction Part of that investigation, he said, would include a look at state inspection records for the bus. The bus, owned by Motor Transportation Inc. and leased to the Hazleton Area Transit Authority, was carrying mostly elderly people from Freeland to Hazleton when the accident occurred two miles east of Hazleton in the village of Harleigh Nancy Super, administrator at Hazleton State General, said eight other patients were treated there ana five of them were admitted.

A Geisinger spokesman said this morning that Fulton was in satisfactory condition. Donald Riccio of Hamburg, driver of the tractor-trailer, was in fair condition with multiple trauma, she added St. Joseph's Hospital in Hazleton received 20 patients but none seemed to have "really, really serious injuries," said John Lamberson, the hospital's director of administrative services.

By evening, 10 people had been admitted at St. Joseph's with various fractures, cuts and head injuries, according to Dr. Phillip Benyo, director of the hospital's ambulatory Care section The other 10 were discharged, he said.

In fact, he blamed the bank's hesitation on the 40-day waiting period during which the FCC can rescind its approval of a sale But that period ended Oct.

27 prior to the postponements of the closings Liberman, who commented on the matter after Dudley, said that there was no doubt that Dudley was confused about the dates when he gave that excuse for the delay. The sale of the only city-based television station has been moving along a rocky road since it was first announced on Sept. 17, 1981. Dudley, Charles Woods and A. Richard Benedek, the New York City businessmen who have investments in several television stations in various parts of the country, agreed then to pay $12 million for the local outlet.

However, the sale ran into a long delay as the proposed buyers had trouble raising the cash to complete it. Their plight, caused by soaring interest rates, led to the parties later amending their agreement to provide for an immediate $8 million payment and the balance with interest to be paid in five years. Those terms were accepted by the local owners ana with the new funding plan in place the FCC gave its approval to the sale on Sept. 17. But new problems involving funding arose, causing a delay of the closing once again In the meantime, the station continues to be run by the heirs of the late Frank Me-gargee, a local broadcasting pioneer.

Under their direction, the facility now is moving from the Scranton Preparatory School, 1000 Wyoming to a new headquarters at 411-17 Lackawanna Ave. In addition to the selling price for the station, the prospective buyers are obligated to take over loans covering the purchase and renovation of the new headquarters and other expenses caused by the delays in the sale. Liberman, expressing optimism that the new sale delay is just temporary, said that the transaction is not in trouble in any way. Also, he said when it is rescheduled, he believes there would be a "paper closing" here, with the parties signing a number of the legal papers, and then moving the parties to New York City where the financial documents would be signed. He said New York banks prefer to have closings in the city so that the laws of New York State apply Despite that detail in the planning, however.

Liberman declined to speculate on when those things might happen SPECIAL Stay On Your Budget With Sarne Nylon Handbags 799 8" 999 When you buy Sarne nylon handbags you're getting versatility, quality and easy care all at a budget price.

FLANNERY Times Special Writer The sale of WDAU-TV once again has hit a snag, but the buyers say the delay is just temporary and that they expect the transaction to be completed soon.

Robert L. Dudley, one of the three New York City businessmen seeking to buy the station, said that the transaction could be completed by "about Dec. 10 However, his Washington, DC, legal counsel, Howard Liberman, declined to specify a date, noting the closing depends entirely on "when the bank in New York will put up the funds The Bank of New York previously has been identified in Federal Communications Commission documents as the institution which was to advance the money for sale. At present, Liberrnan said, the bank "is not ready" to put up the $8 million that the buyers have to pay the sellers on the day of the formal closing. Asked why the bank is "not ready," the lawyer said that "there are any number of reasons" that a bank may not be ready to put up such a large sum and that he did not want to conjecture further on the point Liberman admitted that the closing had been scheduled on Study Set On Education (Continued from Page 3) mal populations and ecological principles, intermediate school students searched a desolate pond for various types of "creepy crawlers Despite the concerns of the girls in the group, they did not have to touch any Qf the bugs or salimanders, as PEEC supplied nets and cartons to capture their specimens.
