Kennedy Case BOSTON District judge who presided over fthe secret Mary Jo Kopechne has recommended (further legal action in his on the accident involving Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, UPI has learned. A reliable source said Friday that Judge James A.

Phone: 272-7639 Open Friday Till 8:00 P.M. he did not define what course of legal action he had in mind. According to the source, Boyle concluded in his report the finding was justified by contradictions in the testimony of some witnesses about circumstances surrounding the accident on Chappaquiddick Island off Martha's Vineyard. Witnesses included Kennedy and several of the senator's close friends and associates.

Dinis' Decision The judge's report and the 764-page transcript of the inquest testimony have been impounded pending a resolution of the case. Boyle could have taken direct action in prosecuting the case, but he apparently left it up to Massachusetts Attorney General Robert H. Quinn and District Attorney Edmund S. Dinis. Dinis, who called for the inquest, took the initiative; and it was announced Thursday the Dukes County Grand Jury would reconvene in Edgartown April 6 to reopen the Kopechne investigation.

Jury foreman Leslie H. Leland said he decided to request the reconvening of the 21-member panel after consultation with Dinis. Miss Kopechne, 28, a Washington secretary and onetime campaign worker for Sen. Robert F. Kennedy of New York, died July 18 when a black sedan, which Edward Kennedy said he was driving, plunged off a bridf into a tidal pond.

No Time Kennedy was charged with and pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of the accident, which was not reported to police for at least nine hours. Confusion about circumstances surrounding the accident led to the inquest, which ended Jan. 8. Leland, in an interview Friday, said the grand jury would start its investigation by reviewing all available documents about the case. He indicated witnesses would be called to testify, but said no one had been subpoenaed yet.

There will be one significant change in the ground rules for the grand jury probe. Lawyers will not be allowed to accompany a witness into the courtroom during interrogation, as permitted at the inquest.

Not only are they rarely in need of maintenance themselves, but they help cut down on regular dusting and cleaning chores. "Space saving with so many types of electric heat can add up to extra basement or playroom space. That's because you don't need a boiler.

You see the actual installation costs for a total electric home heating system are considered modest.

But if you're going to waste good heat through outgoing leakage and incoming drafts you'd be paying not just in fuel costs but in physical comfort. After all doing the job right has certain other advantages in the dollar-saving line too. The upgraded construction upgrades the value of your property. You certainly should have no difficulty getting bank approval for such a loan. And naturally, the sooner you get going, the cheaper it will be, because construction costs escalate each year.

Answer: Sorry, but not only do we not have such information in detail on specific communities, we'd be getting out of our sphere, which is informational. Check your local papers, talk with real estate agents. There are more and more electrically heated apartments, small buildings as well as large ones, growing up all the time.

The exact dates for the opening of the track in East Hanover Twp. depends on completion of the construction currently going on. Completion is dependent on a variety of factors, including the weather and the delivery of crucial materials.

Proceeding On Schedule Barclay C. Odell, general manager of Penn National, said the $9 million facility is proceeding on schedule, with con struction of the grandstand- clubhouse expected to begin next week. Odell, a 25 year racing veteran, is directing the operation from the site 14 miles east of Harrisburg near the Grantville exit of Interstate 81. He believes the track will at- ract outstanding horses very quickly. "We think we have the type of plant where good horsemen with good horses will want 'to race," he said.

Odell said he expected aboui to 1,100 horses on hand for the meet, although no com mitments had been received so far from owners or trainers be cause no definite date has been set. "It depends on what time the year we start racing anc how it fits in with their sched ule, because horsemen are go ing around the circuit the yea around," said. Feature Races Planned Odell said plans call for fea ture races, possibly each day with the size of purses and lyp of events to be worked out wit a racing secretary. Featur races also will depend "on wha horses we have on the he said. The track will accommodat 25,000 persons.

There will hi about 9,000 seats, plus a slop ing ramp for viewing race, from the rail. The enclosed grandstand clubhouse will be heated and air conditioned. There initially will be park ing for 6,000 vehicles, with con tingency plans to expand th capacity of 11,500 vehicles. The plant includes stables for 1,280 horses, a. blacksmith shop veterinarian quarters and a cafeteria.

The one-mile track will be constructed to permi day and night racing under dry and wet conditions. Tentative admission charge art for the clubhouse and 12 for approval of the Horse Racing Commission. The corporation is financing bulk of the construction through a million public stock sale, with 950,000 shares being offered it $10 each.
