D--11 BRIDGEPORT SUNDAY POST, March 4, 1973 In and OUR TOWN t. Congress Plaza Development Corporation board members were encouraged by Redevelopment head Sheldon Teichman to move forward promptly with plans for housing in the Congress Plaza area. Presi- dent Nixon'i decision to allow some 250,000 units of f. new housing to be constructed annually on a nation- j' wide basis has apparently opened the door of the freeze.

IF YOU TUNED in on Eleanor Craig of Westport on channel I3's Book Beat last Manday night, you tuned in a real treat. From the way Mrs. Craig projected on television, it is easy to sec how she related to the disturbed children she taught and wrote about. The author of "P.S.

The State Public Utilities commission says lawyers who want the designation "Ally" linked to their name in phone books must pay for the privilege, even if they do not have a private practice.

The ruling was made after Anthony Tampogna, a lawyer, requested the PUC to order SNET to print hU professional identification next to his name in phone directories without' extra charge. Tampogna argued he should not have to pay an extra charge for a business listing since he had quit privats practice to become a corporation lawyer. The PTJC rejected the request. "The use of a designation as a member of a professional class, holding itself out as -it- tomeys-at-jaw, Is a business fnction" the commission rated. If Tampogaa and other lawyers were lo receive their Identification fret of charge, other profession ats weald request the same service, and the teteplMM company would lose substantial source of revenue, the rulinj held.

Tampogna aaki he had made the request he wanted lo be diittnfaished from other members his family who bore, lame name but were not lawyers.
