Desmond of Buffalo, who retired last week as chief judge of the Court of Appeals, and William Vanden Heuvel, a Manhattan attorney who has been a close associate of U.S. Sen. Robert F.

Kennedy. The Democrat party sources said that neither Wagner nor Desmond appeared to have sufficient strength to derail Travia's drive for the post Any bid by Vanden Heuvel would depend almost entirely on his receiving strong support from Kennedy. But the sources said Kennedy was eager to avoid any impression that he would try to dictate the choice to the convention.

Ms Schreck, who left by ship in July of 1965, arrived in the small town of Middle Harness, for her year abroad in August. She spent much time traveling and being entertained, inchxling two weeks at The Hague (government of The Netherlands).

She attended a school which had five grades and an enrollment of 300 students. In Middle Harness, a town of 4(10 people, she lived with three families, the first a doctor and his family, the second a family who lived out of town and from where she bicycled from seven to 10 miles a day to school.

He will remain at the Community College as a social sciences teacher.

Robert W. Frederick, president of the college, accepted the resignation of Dean Perry with regret and noted that Perry's experience and capabilities will be difficult to replace. Perry, in slating why he has tendered his resignation, said he began his career as a teacher and would like to return to the classroom where he enjoys contact with students. Perry joined the Corning Communi ty College staff in 1962 as academic dean. He became dean of the college in 1963 and faculty dean in 1965.

He has also been associate professor in social studies. Dean Perry went to Corning from Cornell University where he had been associat dean of the College of Arts and Sciences for 16 years. A native of Waverly, he attended high school there and received his bachelor of arts degree from Hobart College.

S. Army, serving until 1946. Perry earned his master's degree from Cornell and was vocational guidance counselor for servicemen returning to college and was assistant dean before becoming associate 'dean. Married to the former Miss Mary Owen of Chemung, the couple has two sons, Owen and Grey. Milk Cooperatives Discuss Use Of Reload Station Possible construction of a bulk milk reload station at a site near Waverly was discussed Tuesday night at a meeting of dairy farmer leaders of two large area cooperatives.

Representatives of the Crowley Milk Producers Cooperative Association and Penn York Bulk Milk Producers Cooperative, both federated members of Northeast Dairy Cooperation, discussed the proposal at a meeting in the El-Ba Restaurant. Development of the reload station was proposed during discussion of plans for marketing the more than 143 million pounds of milk produced by the combined membership of the two organizations. R. Fenton Murphy of Ulster spokesman for the Penn York group said that the Sabert Norris property north of Waverly recently acquired by one of the cooperatives was suitable for the reload station. John Twigg, president of the Crowley Milk Producers Cooperative said that the sole objective of his organization in regard to the project was to obtain the highest possible return for the more than 300 dairy farmers his cooperative represents.

Murphy also reported that a meeting between the Crowley Milk Company of Binghamton and the Penn York cooperative was scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 7 at which time he said he hoped that a satisfactory contract could be developed f- t' marketing of the entire of milk for 1967. c', th milk produced by rs of both cooperatives has Ic: nany years been marketed through the Crowley Milk ported today to have gained the in side track in competition for the highly coveted post of chairman of the State Constitutional Convention Informed sources in the Democratic party said Travia appeared to have lined up sufficient support to corral the chairmanship, barring a sudden reversal of fortune. Democrats will have majority con trol of the convention and thus will be able to dictate the election of its chairman when the body convenes in Albany on April 4 to be gin remodeling the State Constitu tion. The chairmanship is greatly prized within political circles, since it may be assumed that the convention's presising officer will loom large in the public eye.

Politicians look upon the post as an opportunity to demonstrate leadership qualities that could pave the way for advancement to higher office. Travia, a 55-year-old lawyer from Brooklyn, is said to be interested in convention chairmanship could serve as a springboard for that purpose. Another prominent Democrat mentibned for the chairmanship, New York's former Mayor Robert F. Wagner, is assumed to have similar am bitions. There has been speculation also that Wagner might wish to run for the U.S.

The signal department of the railroad has estimated that the new electric gates will go into operation by the end of this month. The set of tracks on the south end of the crossing will go out of service as the result of the installation.

A relay case and battery box will be set up on a pole at the southeast comer for the control of the new gates. When the automatic operation goes into effect later in the year, this will eliminate the need of the tower, As a train approaches, circuits to be installed in the rails will set off flashing lights and ringing bells for five seconds before the gates start down. The gates will take 10 seconds to desceiid, with the lights flashing and bells ringing until the train is over the crossing. The Lehigh has similar crossing systems in operation all over the rail road. Elmira St.

and Walnut St. cross ings will keep the present warning systems and signs, with a set of tracks scheduled to be removed also at Walnut St. The passing of the Athens Tower not only will mark the end of a long era, but the death of a Valley landmark. The Tower goes back to 1904 when the first interlocking system was controlled mechanically by bng pipeline. The electric system of control of the switches, and the sig nals on the signal bridges just east and west of the crossing, went into effect in 1926.

The tower now controls 24 switches in the interlocking system at Athens through 18 pistol grip handles in the switching panel. Another of the towerman's duties has been to give messages to trains moving east past the two-story build ing. As the train moves by at 30 miles an hour, a trainman on the head end hooks his arm through a string loop tied to the message at the end of a five-foot long shaped stick held out the second story window bv the towerman. The railroad has decided nothing definite yet about the operation of the interlocking systems switches and sipals w-hen the automatic gates be come effective. U.S.

Rusk said: "It is our policy to strike targets of a military nature, especially those closely related to North Vietnam efforts to conquer the south. "We have never deliberately attacked any target that could legitimately be called civilian.

We have not bombed cities or directed our efforts against the population of North Vietnam. "We recognize the men and machines are not infallible and that some mistakes have occurred. "We regret all the loss of life and property that this conflict entails. "And the sooner this conflict can be settled, the happier we and the Vietnamese people will be. "Meantime, we shall continue to do what is necessary to protect the vital interests of the United States, to stand by our allies in Asia and to work with all our energy for a peaceful, secure and prosperous Southeast Asia.

Only by meeting these commitments can we keep on this small and vulnerable planet the minimum conditions for peace and order." six months.

Party leaders have indicated that they would try to settle the chairmanship question as quickly as possible perhaps this month so that planning for the convention could proceed. Travia declared his desire for the chairmanship shortly after the Nov. 8 election and has been activiy lin ing up commitments from party leaders and individual delegates. Travia's position as the Legisla ture's ranking Democrat, giving him decisive control over major legislation, afforded him a definite advantage over the other aspirants, who hold no public office. Slayer Is Given 2'2-5 Year Term LOCKPORT, N.Y.

(AP) Sandy Reed, accused in the fatal shoot ing of another man, has drawn a 2 l-2-to-5-year prison term on two weapons charges and a suspended sentence for manslaughter. Judge John V. Hogan sentenced Reed Thursday in Niagara County Court and directed that the sentences on the weapons charges, for illegal possession of a submachine gun and a loaded Luger pistol, served concurrently. He suspended a sentence of five to seven years on Reed's plea of guilty to second-degree manslaugh-tr. Reed, 31, of Niagara Falls, was arrested on a charge of first-degree murder after James Smith, 25, also of Niagara Falls, died of bullet wounds in a hospital last Aug.

to Get No Access Rerouting of 220 Bridge St. hill road and apparently will affect some of the new homes recently constructed near the top of the road. Borough Manager Snell pointed out also that Towanda Borough could well use not one, but additional two interchanges. In addition to the Plank Road interchange which he advocated, he felt, too, that consideration might well be given for at least a limited access interchange just west of James St. for use by Sylvania workers residing to the south and cast of Towanda.

Such a route could greatly alleviate the late afternoon traffic snarls experienced in Towanda at present. Such planning, it was pointed out, together with the long-hoped-for River St. improvement would effectively eliminate Towanda's "one street" bottleneck and provide avenues for smoothly-flowing traffic, both long distance and local. Construction of the Route 220 by pass isn't expected to begin for at least three years. Route 6 construction in this area is even farther off, about 10 years from now.

His message will have a special emphasis to the youth. A morning Bible study will be held Monday through Friday begin Towanda Borough Road in Proposed Towanda Borough will get no direct access road from the proposed rerouting of Route 220 from the in North Towanda south to a point about a mile and three quarters below the borough's southern limits.

This is shown in a map received frcm the engineering firm of Yale, Jordan and McNee by Borough Man ager George Snell. The firm has ask ed Mr. Snell to furnish certain engi neering and utility information for road planning and designing. The proposed rerouting indicates that there are planned just two intcr- cr- mges to serve the Towanda area, each between a mile and three quarters and two miles distant from the Borough's limits. Although not specified, it is assumed that State highway engineers are planning to split Route 6 on its Eastward Route from 220 at the southern interchange, making a new roadway which would course eastward below the Towanda Airport and cross the Susquehanna river some where in Wysox township.

Prime topic of discussion among those who have seen the proposed routing is the lack of an interchange directly into the borough. Towanda. which is currently straggling with a serious traffic problem, generated in part by tourist and com mercial traffic and in part by the load of area workers imployed in industries "and also, in part, by the areas growth, has expected the new 220 route to provide a part in answer to the traffic load. As leng as six months ago, the Towanda Area School Board urged the district highway engineer that consideration be given an interchange near Plank Road. It was pointed out that school buses could then enter the borough virtually at the school's front door, eliminating clogging traffic routes in the downtown business area.

Paul Cooper, district superintendent, said Thursday that his office had not received a reply to the letter. The district engineer. Thomas Harrington, was not available for querying. The proposed route is a "middle" route of three considered. It will begin at a point west of the present necessitating a slight rerouting of Route 6.

Route 220 flowing South from Ulster, will go east for about three quarters of a mile, and then turn into a south, southeasterly direction and then turn due south when it is directly west of the borough business section, turning east to the south, southeasterly direction until it reaches a point west of the Airport road when it will follow the Monroe-ton valley line, turning south, southwesterly. The southern intersection will be approximately a mile and three quarters south of the borough limits. The two other routes considered indicated that one was considerably more west' of the approved route while another would have put Route 220 through the borough along the Fourth street level. The selected route apparently will go just below the upper end of the.
