Buell Groundbreaking Monday By JAMES D. SHELHAMER Daily News Staff A symbolic groundbreaking here Monday afternoon will write a new chapter in Lebanon's industrial history. The ceremony on the Reading Co. redevelopment site will mark readiness to start construction on an office building for the Buell Division of Envirotech Corp. Construction of the" 43,600 square-feet-of-space structure is expected to result eventually in a substantial increase in Buell's local work force.

It now totals 550 and of this number 150 are engaged in manufacturing operations. The 4 p.m. groundbreaking is scheduled to be attended by state, county and city government dignitaries, as well as leaders in business, industry and community life throughout the county area. Envirotech is a leading manufacturer and supplier of equipment for water and air pollution control. In addition, it produces separation and handling equipment for continuous process industries, including mining equipment and advanced instrumentation and systems for water, waste water and process applications.

Buell is Envirotech's Emission Control Division and it serves a host of major industries which rely on emission control equipment to prevent air pollution. Buell is headquartered here. First On RR Site In addition to marking the start of the Buell building construction, the groundbreaking will also mark the first use of the Reading Co. redevelopment site. The new Buell building, a one-floor structure, is scheduled for construction in that area of the redevelopment site bounded by Fifth and Seventh Streets on the east and west respectively, by the Reading Company tracks on the north and Green Street and Quittapahilla Creek on the south.

The new structure will adjoin the present Buell headquarters building along Fourth Street. The contract for the building of the new structure is scheduled for signing Monday. Robert E. Lamb Valley Forge, will be the general contractor. The new structure will on the outside be constructed of exposed aggregate panels of off-white stone, contrasting with recessed bronze windowpanes.

The interior of the building will feature an open landscape type of architecture in which furniture rather than walls serve to separate the workers. ARTIST'S DRAWING OF NEW BUELL BUILDING April Moving Time Occupancy of the building is expected early in April of 1975. The new structure will be more than double the present building. It will permit all non-manufacturing operations to be consolidated in the headquarters complex. At present some firm activities are carried on in quarters at Palmyra and in part of the Alcoa plant.

Rockefeller says he feels former President Richard Nixon has been punished enough and should not be prosecuted further, for Whatever role he had in the Watergate scandal. Rockefeller also said he will make a public statement on his financial holdings if he is confirmed by Congress. But he stopped short of promising to disclose the full extent of his fortune.

"I want to give out as much information as seems appropriate," Rockefeller said Friday at one of two news conferences at his Maine vacation retreat. "But this is a totally different situation for me, and I'm not going to release anything until I have given it to the members of Congress and they have questioned me about it." Rockefeler said members of the two congressional committees that handle his confirmation "have been very thoughtful in saying they will not release any of the information unless I want it." Rockefeller said his accountants and lawyers were going over his financial records and income tax returns to prepare them for the congressional committees and that they would be turned over shortly. An aide described Rockefeller's annual income tax return as looking like "the size of small city telephone direc- tory." Rockefeller will stay in Seal Harbor on vacation until Labor Day with the possible exception of a one-day trip to Washington next week. His press secretary, Hugh Morrow, said the family would be secluded in their picture post card-like compound along the Maine shore until after the holiday. In two wide-ranging news conferences, Rockefeller discussed a number of topics including amnesty for draft resisters, his handling of the bloody 1971 Attica Prison riot, and his role as vice president if confirmed.

The county's redevelopment authority deeded a 4.3-acre tract to the Lebanon County Industrial Development Authority for a consideration of $56,700. In essence the industrial development authority bought the land for Buell who will be the project developer. Subsequent deed transfers will increase the size of the tract being acquired by Buell to seven acres and the total consideration will be about $112,000. Because of the Industrial Development Authority's participation in the transaction project money can be borrowed at a rate under the prevailing interest rate.

Top officials of Buell, the industrial development authority and redevelopment authority were present for the deed signing. Today In The NEWS Amusements 15 Area Church 5 18-21 A bit of levity was injected into the proceeding when Robert E. Stanaway, Buell president, cut a piece of the tail from the shirt worn by Alvin B. Lewis solicitor for the redevelopment authority. The shirt cutting was a ritual practiced by pilots to mark the passing of the test for a pilot's license.

Lewis recently acquired pilot status at the Hershey Airport. He began taking flying lessons several years ago when he was district attorney, but discontinued them due to the press of his duties and law practice. About 10 months ago he resumed the lessons.

Two weeks ago today, Mary Loump and her mother, Mrs. Barbara M. Loump were driving back to their Bernville RD 2 home after Mary had tried on wedding gowns at shops in Lebanon and Palmyra. Mary was to have been married in November.

But Mary won't be married. In fact, Mary and her mother never got home. They came to the intersection of old Route 22 and Township Route 688. Vandals had removed the stop sign. There was an inevitable crash and Mary and her mother died.

Hamburg state police began a thorough investigation. Their efforts were successful. On Tuesday, they announced that they arrested three so-called "juveniles" for removing the stop sign. "We can't tell you who was responsible for this crime, because the Berks County courts won't let us," the Hamburg police told representatives of this newspaper. Yesterday the Daily News learned that the three juveniles were charged with criminal mischief before District Magistrate Helen Degler of Strausstown.

After that, the boys were released in the custody of their parents. And that is where the matter stands now. Three irresponsible young nitwits removed a stop sign. Two women died and the Berks County authorities won't even disclose the names nor the home towns of the miscreants, who have been released scot-free "in the custody of their parents." No wonder many people are asking, "Is this justice?"

Stanaway Greece Rejects Peace Parley By United Press International Greece today rejected American-backed efforts to get the Cyprus peace talks resumed in Geneva and accepted the Soviet Union's proposal for turning the crisis over to a large international conference.

Greek Foreign Minister George Mavros, emerging from an Athens meeting with Cypriot President Glafkos derides, said efforts by Turkey, Britain and Greece to solve the crisis at the conference table "have failed." Turkey, however, made clear Friday that it was hoping to keep the Cyprus peace talks confined to the Geneva conference table rather than accepting the proposal for a full-scale international meeting. At the urging of U.S. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, Britain worked behind the scenes for more than a week to bring both Greece and (Continued on Page 6) SERVING DINNER ON SUNDAY 11 A.M.
