Also re-elected at the special session in the Hazle Elementary School, 23rd and McKinley Streets, were Charles O'Donnell, vice president; Atty. Anthony C. Falvello, solicitor (salary $7,200) and Atty.

John D. McAfee, assistant solicitor (salary O'Donnell Withdraws As the reorganization session got underway, with secretary-business manager Stewart S. Veale serving as temporary chairman, both Chapman and O'Donnell were nominated for president. O'Donnell, however, quickly withdrew, citing two reasons. "I have accepted an assignment of great responsibility," he said, referring to his recent election as president of the new Intermediate (County School) Unit 18.

O'Donnell also stated that "school district practice during the past several years has been to give the (incumbent) president a chance to finish his program." The withdrawal of O'Donnell drew a swift retort from director Girard Stish, who noted that he had nominated. O'Donnell as new president of the school board. "A president never has a chance to finish his work," argued Stish, who then told O'Donnell, "If you don't want to run it's alright with me." In a roll call vote, Chapman was re-elected by a narrow margin of 5 to 4. Voting "yes" were O'Donnell, Chapman and directors Fred erick Barletta, Pat Capece and Joseph Zoba. Opposed were directors James Capparell, Girard Stish, Warren Zehner and William Schaub.

The latter commented to a reporter following the meeting: "I felt we spent the whole (past) year doing nothing. The school district hasn't moved anywhere. That's why I voted no." O'Donnell was re-elected unanimously to another term as vice president. awarded her $13,500 with interest from Aug. 2, 1965.

The commonwealth appealed the award and the case went to trial Nov. 30 before Judge Robert W. Trembath, specially presiding. Atty. Pasco L.

Anthony C. Falvello as solicitor for the district. In favor of the re-election were O'Donnell, Capece, Schaub, Zehner, Capparell and Stish. Opposed were Barletta, Zoba, and Chapman. Barletta explained that while he considered Falvello "a fine lawyer," he was voting "along party lines." Zehner chided Barletta for the remark, indicating that he personally had voted for Falvello because he considered him well qualified for the post.

"The heck with this politics in our school system," said Zehner. President Chapman, explaining his negative vote, said Falvello has "ability, conscientiousness and integrity," but added, "this is a political affair one way or the other. You'd better realize it." Atty. John D. McAfee was elected unanimously to another term as assistant solicitor.

Explaining his affirmative vote, Capparell chuckled, "Since I was told I should be voting along party lines, I'm voting yes for Jack Mc Afee." "It's a shame and a disgrace," declared Stish, "when a school board has to bring politics into its nominations. On a motion by Barletta, the board voted to retain the third Thursday of each month as the date for regular meetings. The Hazle Elementary School also was retained as the meeting site. Dr. Henry F.

Ronald Kutch of the state police detail at Hazleton. According to details given by city police, Knott was observed passing through a red bght at Broad and Pine Streets at 11:30 at which time Cruisermen Joseph Zola and Joseph Ruggiero gave chase. Knott, police said, then went through the red light at Broad and Cedar Streets and when reaching the next intersection at Poplar Street while traveling east on Broad Street made a right turn and proceeded south on Poplar. The police report noted that Knott's car, a sports model, then sped south on Poplar Street and crashed into the steps of a building housing the and Manufacturing at the intersection of Poplar and Noble Streets.

An initial investigation disclosed that the steps and a railing were damaged as was the car. Assisting in the investigation were Cruisermen Ernest Kubereit and Eugene Riley.

Parking stalls are to be provided for police, employes, visitors and handicapped persons. GSA officials said the Operations and Information area will Fred C. Correale, 60, president of Correale Construction Co. and many affiliated firms, and George Laputka, 59, secretary-treasurer of M.

J. Laputka Sons, insur ance firm, were sentenced by fed eral judge R. Dixon Herman to a "jail type or treatment institution" for six months beginning Jan. 15 and to pay $5,000 fines. The court ordered that tax money owed to the government be paid as a condition of probation, following their prison terms.

Correale had pleaded guilty to understating the taxable income of his mining firm in 1963. Internal Revenue agents alleged the understatement for Correale Mining Corp. in that year was more than $51,000. Laputka also had pleaded guilty to filing a false return in 1963 for the insurance firm and to issuing to Correale inflated premium statements. Agents alleged the misstate- studying the possibility of wage in creases and that the matter cannot be finalized one way or the other until the city's salary ordinance for 1971 goes before the council in January.

The councilman also claimed that the cost of crossing guards has a bigger impact in the city because Hazleton has many guards, whereas the neighboring communities have only a handful each. Concerning an allegation from Capece that the city has difficulty in keeping guards on the job because of the inequities in the pay scale, Sacco said he is not aware of any great problem in finding persons to serve as guards. He said the city often has hired retired people to perform the duties. Sacco took the occasion to level a blast at Capece, the school district and the outlying communities. He claimed Capece should repre sent the city, as he's supposed to.

The court yesterday heard testimony from a parade of character witnesses, among them Mayor Joseph B. Conahan who portrayed Correale as a "hand shaked businessman," added that he didn't know of anyone who had been more civic minded. "His name in Hazleton would second to none," Conahan said. The mayor, turning his attention to the other defendant, told the court that Laputka was a "fine, upstanding and th.at his daughter and the defendant's were close friends. Conahan said he was unaware of the tax problems encountered by the two men until he read published reports in the newspaper this year.

Frank Rauzi, vice president of the Peoples First National Bank and Trust Hazleton, said he served with Correale on the bank's board of directors. Correale, according to testimony, recently resigned from that post. Rauzi said the defendant is "en tirely too generous. He never learned to say no to anyone, regardless of what it may be. He's never hurt anyone but himself." Another witness was Monsignor Mark Mecca, pastor of Most Preci ous Ulooa unurcn ana correale pastor.

Anthony Sacco, acknowledged leader of the Hazleton City Coun cil majority, issued today an answer to charges from a Hazleton Area School District director that the majority is dragging its feet on requested pay raises for school crossing guards in the city.
