Joseph Gatto, Youth Opportunities, director, said that a short Statement from the mayor is all that the group is seeking.

"Since there has been a change in administration, we would like to hear from Mr. Panuzio as to what directions he would like us (o be moving in," Mr. Gatlo stated. The Council went on to discuss the progress being made on proposals made to Schools Supt. Howard Rosenstein in November.

The holiday has slowed things down considerably," Mr, Gatto said. Jeffrey Leichtman, Community BRIDGE delivered a progress report on the activities that been initiated at the drug center.

Governor Hints He Erre In Accepting Tax Package HARTFORD, (AP) -Gov. Thomas J. Mcskill says he might I ave made a mistake when he decided to balance his budget by cutting spending instead of asking for more rove- ues.

Interviewed over WTIC-TV Wednesday night, Meskill was asked if he had any second thoughts about his first year in office. "I had kind of given up on the legislature," he said, recalling the 1971 General Assembly and its tax hassls. "At the time we had just hud a regular session a long one and two special sessions which weren't too fruitful. "Maybe I guvc up too soon. I think perhaps if I had it to do over again I probably would have called them back once more in the hopes that they would hr.ve come up with more tax revenue and I would not have had to rnake the cuts I had to make," the governor said.

Hiked Sales Tax The legislature, after passing and repealing an income tax, passed tax package based on a per cent sales tax. The governor said he still opposes a state income tax, but would consider one if his Strike Force for Full Employment recommended one to improve the- industrial climate in the JURY SUMMONED CASE A SWEET POTATO I A I The -term commonly used in the vege- tra' for moist-fiesh sweet jotatbes; strictly speaking, his' usage is incorrect, since a yam" is an entirely different plant.

The governor said the state losing industry and jobs above and beyond that attributable to defense cuts. Part ol the reason, he said, is that Con necticut's tax- program is nol competitive with those of other states.

The governor said that his next priority will be to work to eliminate high unemployment in the state "until every man whi wants a job can get a job." The governor said he hoped to ask this year's legislature for an increase in spending between 11 and 18 per cent, between $110 million and $18C million. pfew Visual Care Center Is Opened; Will Seirve City's Underprivileged A visual-care clinic, specially designed serve the city's underprivileged, opened yesterday in the Salvation 'quarters, 3u Elm street, Sponsored jointly by the Salvation Army- and the Fairfield Counts' Society of Optometrists, the clinic will provide a full of optometric Services, including eye examinations diagnosis and the fitting of glasses and contact lenses, the presi dent of the Optometrists association, Dr. Thomas Zucker, said.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Food and Drug Administration has proposed a ban on hexachlorophene in feminine hygiene sprays, a S53-milIion annual business, until it can determine i chemical is safe and effective.
