James Stella, 18, of 30 Scenic Hill road was arrested in his home at 5:25 p.m. and charged with burglary in the third degree. He was detained overnight in lieu of a $5,000 bond for arraignment in Circuit court today. Police said Stella was identi fied as one of two youths who fled the Lathrop home when a member of the family relumed to the house and interrupted he removal of several items ncluding a television set. The pair left a car parked outside, police said, and were described by residents who witnessed the flight.

'False impression' The book, "Police, Courts and the Ghettos" is scheduled for use in a pilot program in the junior high school and in Mr. DiMuzo's opinion "it gives a distinctly false and sad impression that policemen are incompetent and that they harass the public." Mr. DiMuzio said that the books are unfair, lack credence and historical significance and that they do not subscribe to state education laws and objec lives of the social studies cur iculunt which indicates that book elections should be made on th asis of any individual's troup's achievements or accomp- ishments. "Soul on Ice" does no describe achievement or ac complishment, Mr. DiMuzio said to GW SEEKING OF AFS STOCK NEW YORK (AP) Gulf Western Industries one ol the nation's largest business conglomerates, announced today it is seeking to buy 19 per cent Mr.

DiMuzio also told the meet- ng that, in his opinion, the school dministration has failed in implementing its own controls and guidelines for the use of the xxiks. He said that the controls jver the use of "Soul on Ice" ncluded using only certain specie sections of the book and the book was to be used only in the senior year ethnic studies course. Guidelines Broken He pointed out that the guide- ines have been broken since the is in the school library and has been taken from the classroom. He concluded his talk by stat- ng that he intends to replace this type book with quality books which present minority Americans in true and positive lights. There was a question and answer period following Mr.

DiMuzio's talk during which he urged Jaycee members to take an interest in the controversy and voice their opinions, either pro or con, at a meeting on Feb. 5 during which a motion proposed by board member Leo F. Carroll which provides for the removal of the books from the curiculum will be considered.

Use for Next Few Years By DEBORAH M. RANK1N AP Business Writer NEW YORK Decisions of nation's two largest inter- itional airlines not to exercise rtions to buy the controversial mcorde has probably ended the )ssibility of American carriers ing supersonic planes in the net few years. Pan American World Airways inounced Wednesday it woulc )t exercise its options to buy ven of the British-French anes because studies showed aircraft "has significantly ss range, less payload and gher operating costs" than resent wide-bodied jets. Bedes, the carrier added, the oncorde would require "sub- antially higher fares." Trans World Airlines said it ould recommend that its Dard of directors not exercise options on six Concordes be- ause "first priority must be ven to the improvement ani xpansion of our present sub- jnic fleet." The airline also lid it had "some serious ques- on as to the economic via- lity of the Concorde on TWA's vstem." Industry Leaders Pan Am and TWA are re- arded as industry leaders, articularly in overseas routes here the Concorde would be sefui, and their decision to crap the options is expected to ffect the thinking of other air- nes. Four other U.S.

carriers hold Jtions on the million ane, which is scheduled for elivery sometime in 1974. merican and Eastern have op- ons to buy six planes each; raniff and Continental hav ptions on three planes each. Braniff is the only one of th our that has displayed muc nthusiasm for the Concorde, ays the plane would be idea or its Latin American night ut Braniff doesn't want to le first carrier to try out th lew aircraft. The major attraction of th lane is its speed more tha wice the speed of sound. It ca whisk a maximum of 128 pa sengers from New York Paris in about three hours.

Its major drawbacks are i price, four times higher tha riginally quoted; Its passengt capacity, less than half that many planes now in use; an he noise it eenerates. A Wall View A Wall Street analyst chara terized it Wednesday as small plane that has sacrifice! size for speed." He said the ai craft was "not economically ficient." "What passenger is going pay three or four times th standard fare just to get som place a few hours earlier?" asked.

U.S. devel- ment work came to a halt in 61 when Congress cut off nds because of the con- roversy over supersonic boom, fhe British-French project has 1 st $2.5 billion so far.

The only two supersonic ransports now being manuf ac- red are the Tupolev TU144 in Soviet Union and the Con- orde, built by the British Air- raft Corp. and Aerospatiale of ranee. Limited Use Seen The noise generated by the Toncorde, its small passenger apacity and its high cost make economically practical in many minds for a limited type flight: over water, so the ound does not disturb those on le ground; over long distances, so the airline can harge a good fare; and on ow-density routes, so that pas- enger demand is not over- helming. In effect, say industry ources, this means the Con- orde would be most useful to U.S. airlines with Latin Amerian flights and less desirable or transatlantic and trans- ontinental runs.

So far, the Concorde's manu- acturers say they have firm rders for models: five from le British Overseas Airways four from Air France, hree from China and two from ran. But with the moves by Pan Am and TWA, options to pur- base a total of 23 planes now lave been canceled. United ireviously dropped its plans to uy six and Air Canada crapped orders for four.

A spokesman said Gulf Western was seeking the stock "as an investment," and that no decision has been made whether the conglomerate might eventually seek more shares of the giant supermarket chain.
