Town Embarrassed; Chioffi Says He Was Set Up and David Dickinson, a member of Rutland Town Planning Commission and the towns appointed representative to the Rutland Regional Planning Commission. They asked Chioffi to step down as chairman of the Board of Selectmen.

Chioffi charged that an incident during which he was recorded as he shouted at William Thomas had been orchestrated by people who wanted to take me out. According to a tape recording made at Sept. 12 selectmens meeting, Chioffi said to Thomas, Bill, Bill, I hope it's By YVONNE DALEY Rutland Town residents expressed a range of emotions from disgust to compassion in response to recent allegations that Donald Chioffi, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, had threatened town officials with abusive language and used his position for personal gain. Meanwhile, several town residents Said they were pursuing a number of options to have Chioffi censured or removed from office. Chioffi responded angrily to statements earlier this week by Rutland Town Selectman William B.

Thomas not ever in this town, I hope it's not ever me, but up in Wells they had a way of taking care of people like you. I hope nothing ever happens to you so I dont get charged with it, but youre the kind of a no-good, lousy (expletive) that goes behind somebody's back and pulls something like that. The reference to Wells was seen by Thomas as a reference to the killing of Wells Second Constable George Bassler and his neighbor in 1981 and, therefore, a thinly disguised threat on Thomas life. Chioffi said he was not threatening Thomas and he did not apologize for the remark. It was all set up a week before the meeting.

Spencer Rose is trying to make a contest out of what has been a coronation. Rose, 23, is the Democratic candidate for auditor of accounts.

He has staged a campaign using all the themes one would expect from an underdog eager for an upset: He denounces his opponent as a complacent officeholder who has neglected the duties of job. He promises to save the state money by modernizing government operations. He claims hes winning the race to unseat an eight-term incumbent all with a campaign war chest of 6430, half of which he loaned or donated to himself. (The donations come from Jonathon S. Rose; Spencer is his professional name, he said.) But Rose has a long way to go before his name becomes a household word.

He is running for one of the least known and least sought-after statewide offices. And his opponent, Republican Alexander Acebo of Barre, has held the post since 1971 longer than anyone else currently in statewide elective office. Rose is only the third Democrat to run against Acebo in the last 12 years. None has cinerators. It also plans to set up a national clearinghouse" to disseminate information on new and innovative ways to handle waste.

The program also includes a grant to the Environmental Defense Fund, a national environmental group, and the Advertising Group, an industry organization that does public service campaigns, for a broad advertising campaign to encourage Americans to recycle their waste. Some elements of the program may require legislation, and its federal procurement aspects may require an executive order by the president. But the overall strategy, which the agency calls an Agenda for Action," is largely aimed at setting goals and stimulating states, cities and citizens to act to stem the growing flood of garbage. Lee M. Thomas, administrator of the EPA, said: We can no longer afford our out-of-sight, out-of-mind approach to the garbage we generate.

We must adopt a new environmental ethic to reduce the wastes we produce and to recycle and re-use materials." (See Page 18: Garbage) By PHILIP SHABECOFF The New York Times WASHINGTON The Environmental Protection Agency announced a broad strategy Tnursday to cope with what called a staggering garbage Crisis, setting a target of reduc-irig the nation's solid waste by 25 percent within four years through recycling and other methods. -The program includes federal aid to the states to promote recycling and manufacturing Slid consumer practices that do hot produce garbage. An estimated 160 million tons of municipal solid waste was produced last year, or 1,300 pounds for every person in the country. The garbage included millions of pounds of products that used to be considered durable but are now throwaways, including 1.6 billion pens, 2 billion razors and 16 billion disposable diapers. -The government also plans to buy more recycled materials and to help create markets for ed materials.

The agency will also expand research on the handling of solid waste and establish new regulatory programs to assure the safety of landfills and in Armenians hold a mass rally recently in Stepanakert in the region of Negorno-Karabakh, the center of the dispute between Armenians and Azerbaijanis.
