Homer I. Bernhardt, 46, head librarian of the mathematics and engineering libraries at the University of Pittsburgh, died of a heart attack Tuesday night while sitting on the porch of his home at 6317 Waldron Squirrel Hill. Mr. Bernhardt received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Pitt. He was first vice president of the American Society for Engineering Education and past president of the University Library Association.

He was a member of the search committee for the new director of the university libraries.

College elects trustee Robert E. Heaton, 534 Trotwood Road, Upper St. Clair, has been elected to the board of trustees of Washington and Jefferson College, Washington, Washington County. Richland ambulance gets shot in arm confidence in their ability to have and raise normal children. All parents of children from the project know the legal rights of their handicapped youngsters and many have worked to champion them and improve them.

"These are the main points we've uncovered so far," Schilling said in an interview. "We expect others to develop as our research continues." Schilling, a social worker and former executive director of the United Cerebral Palsy Center in Detroit, is scheduled to leave Pittsburgh this afternoon after three days of gathering and analyzing data at the local United Cerebral Palsy Center, a United Way agency. The cerebral palsy organization's Pittsburgh branch maintained an infant learning center at 4638 Center Oakland, until last year, when federal cutbacks forced its closing. Nationally, project staff members worked with 2,200 infants in 47 centers. By Henry W.

Pierce Post-Gazette Staff Writer Significant reductions in divorces among parents of handicapped children as a result of their participation in formal child-help programs were reported yesterday by a social scientist doing research here. Margaret Schilling, a consultant for the National United Cerebral Palsy Association, said the lowered divorce rate is one of the benefits resulting from the five-year National Collaborative Infant Project. The project, carried out from 1970 to 1975, represented one of the nation's first large-scale attempts to help preschool children and their parents cope with virtually all types of disabilities. Before 1970, babies who were diagnosed as developmentally disabled simply were cared for at home until they reached school age or were institutionalized. In an effort to find out how effective the programs were, Schilling is interviewing 300 of the origi nal project families, including 20 in Pittsburgh.

She makes no secret of her wish to prove that the infant programs should continue to be funded in the face of federal cutbacks. "Over the long course," she said, "these programs would save taxpayers significant sums of money." Among her findings so far Participating families had far fewer divorces than those with handicapped children but no support programs. Only four children were placed in skilled nursing homes after taking part in the project, and even they are enrolled in educational programs. Counseling and parent support groups were considered by the parents to be the most important parts of the project. Parents who took part in the program were more likely to have additional children than parents who did not participate.

Schilling interpreted this to mean the participating parents developed greater Adelaide R. Clarke, 90, former teacher see an independent volunteer organization create an ambulance service for the township. Henninger says his group is in the process of doing just that. The group wants the township to aid the organization by donating garage and office space and by picking up insurance and gasoline costs. "We're flexible on these things, but we'd like to see the township help us out on them," Henninger said.

Richland fimergency Medical Service nas filed with the state to incorporate as a non-profit corporation. It was organized within the past three weeks. It will be run by a seven-member board of directors with an advisory board. No positions will be paying jobs. medical technicians and 30 other volunteers to do paperwork and maintenance," Henninger said.

The ambulance service, which is run by the fire department, has been plagued with a lack of volunteers. "The problem has been that most volunteers work during the daytime," Henninger said. "But we have gotten together a iarge core of volunteers willing to run the ambulance service 24 hours a day." If approved, the new service should be ready for operation Sept. 15. The supervisors had received three bids for ambulance service by last month's meeting, but held off on making a decision so other options could be investigated.

According to township officials and residents, everyone wanted to The fire department has sold its ambulance and some emergency medical equipment to the group for $1. The group has arranged mutual-aid agreements with Hampton and West Deer and Henninger said it will contact Pine and the McCand-less-Franklin Park Ambulance Authority to make similar agreements. Richland had been turned down by the McCandless-Franklin Park Ambulance Authority for affiliation because Richland had no ambulance service staff. If the supervisors approve the group's proposal, it will solicit a membership fee from resident families. Henninger said the fee will be between $20 and $40 a year.

By Jerry Roberts Post-Gazette Start Writer Richland's ambulance service has been in poor health for almost a year, but a newly formed citizens group has vowed to revive it with an infusion of volunteers. Richland Emergency Medical Service will propose a package deal to the township supervisors at their meeting Tuesday. According to Dan Henninger, a spokesman for the group, the proposal has the support of the Richland Volunteer Fire Department, the Richland Concerned Citizens Action Program and the residents council of St. Barnabas Retirement Village.

Defendant tells of seeing 3 kill woman A Westmoreland County man testified yesterday that he lay quietly in some brush and watched as three men he knew beat a New Kensington woman to death. Tyrone K. Jackson, 37, of 211 Fifth New Kensington, is accused of the beating death of Janice McNulty, 20, whose frozen body was found on the bank of the Allegheny River in Plum on Feb. 12, 1981. Jackson took the stand yesterday and testified that he lied last September when he told county homicide detectives four different stories about the Feb.

1, 1981, murder. Jackson said he knew all three of the men. Jackson said the men dragged the victim's body onto the frozen river and left it. He said he pulled McNul-ty's body back to shore and wiped her face off with snow before running away. Jackson said he didn't interfere when he saw the men attacking McNulty because "I know I would have been killed.

I know the people. I know what they're into and what affiliates they got. I know New Ken," he said. He testified that he did not call police after the incident because, "I don't trust New Ken police." Jackson was not arrested until nine months after the murder. He said the three men were involved with drugs, prostitution, robberies and murder.

USS asks OK to burn coal high in sulfur U.S. Steel Corp. has asked the Allegheny County Health Department for permission to burn high-sulfur coal at its Carrie Furnace in Rankin. The company said it would offset the resulting increase in air pollution by using natural gas instead of coke oven gas to fuel two other Mon Valley mills. A spokesman for the company said the use of natural gas and the reduced activity at its mills because of the industry's slump would allow the company to stay within air pollution standards despite using the high-sulfur coal.

At the same time, U.S. Steel estimates the switch could save the company $10,000 a day in fuel costs. The Health Department's air pollution advisory committee will meet at 5:30 p.m. July 22 to consider the proposal. The Board of Health also will hold a public hearing on the request at 12:30 p.m.

Eliminating days of hospital care means dramatic reductions in patients' bills. However, not all of the remaining bills are covered by health insurance programs, the spokesman noted. Conceivably, it might pay some patients to get their treatments in a hospital if their insurance provides coverage, rather than pay for home treatments out of their own pockets. However, West Penn emphasized: "The emotional strain of being in the hospital for an extended length of time is also eliminated, and the convenience with which the infusor delivers chemotherapy enables the patient to lead a reasonably normal life at home and at work." A companion program, dubbed home nutritional support, enables severely debilitated cancer patients to gain weight and strength from a high-protein, high-calorie solution fed directly into their bodies through an intravenous line.

The nutritional boosts sometimes must be repeated daily for long periods. "Continuing these treatments in the hospital could prove a hardship," a West Penn spokesman said. Home use, he said, has proved feasible, following specialized training for both the patient and family members in the operation and maintenance of a portable intravenous pump. technological advances that allow machines to take over jobs once done by doctors, nurses and technicians. The latest in a growing list of innovations, demonstrated yesterday by physicians at West.

Penn Hospital, is a 4-ounce tube that can infuse cancer-fighting drugs directly into a patient's body 24 hours a day. Known as a home chemotherapy infusor, the 6-inch device can be worn under patients' clothes, allowing them to go about their normal activities while life-saving cancer medicines course through a soft, silicone catheter that has been inserted into a large vein below the collarbone. The infusor, developed at Tra-venol Laboratories in Deerfield, III, is in use at West Penn and a handful of other hospitals around the country. Doctors say the device minimizes the number of visits patients must pay to hospitals after their initial treatment. In addition, the physicians cite studies suggesting that anti-cancer drugs are more effective if they can be eased steadily into the patient's bloodstream throughout the day rather than in separate doses.

This, the theory says, enables drugs to fight cancer cells as they grow.

The commissioners voted 5-4 to intervene in the lawsuit over the mall. That allows the commissioners to hire an attorney to defend the zoning board in court. The zoning board refused to allow developer Frank Nascone to cut an access road by connecting his proposed multi-million dollar shopping mall off McKnight Road to Mcln-tyre Road.

Residents of the area have bitterly fought the proposed access road, which already has been graded, claiming it will bring too much traffic to the strictly residential Mclntyre Road. Last month Nascone appealed the zoning board's decision in Common Pleas Court. A pre-trial hearing has been set for July 21 before Judge Nicholas Papadakos. But the zoning board, which has been described by the Ross solicitor as a quasi-judicial body, cannot defend itself. It does not have a staff solicitor and it cannot appropriate money to hire an attorney.

Because of a tie vote at the June 28 commissioners' meeting, the motion to support the zoning board-was defeated. The motion failed because Commissioner William Connelly, an opponent of the access road, was unable to attend that meeting because of health reasons. Connelly attended Monday's meeting, providing the tie-breaking vote. Commissioners Connelly, JR. McAfee, Molly Daly, Arthur White and Robert Raida voted in favor while Mark Purcell, Louis Cherpes, John Fodor and Charles Earnest voted no.

The board is likely to choose Pittsburgh lawyer John M. Means. McAfee said he contacted Means and indicated he would be free to take the case. Solicitor William Milnes said he would not represent the zoning board on this matter. The board will select an attorney at its July 26 meeting.

In an attempt to stall, Cherpes said the vote was out of order, referring to a clause in Roberts' Rules of Order that a motion could not be re-introduced until after the next regular session. That would mean that the board could not hear the motion until July 26. But Milnes got out his own copy of Roberts' Rules and said it was all right to reintroduce the motion as long as it wasn't the exact same motion. Earnest also was opposed to hiring an attorney. "We have one ward in this township that is opposed to the mall and the other eight wards have to pay for that," he said.

Purcell said it was a waste of money to hire another attorney. He accused McAfee, who made the motion, of pandering to the interests of the Mclntyre Area Citizens Association. McAfee denied it, claiming he did not want to send the Zoning Hearing Board to court without an attorney. "I've done more in the last two weeks than you've done in the last six years," McAfee screamed at Purcell. Cherpes asked the chairman to censure McAfee but the request was ignored.

An- and Shaler, the difference is marginal compared to Mon Valley communities such as McKeesport and West Mifflin. McKeesport, which is suffering from the slumping steel industry, rose from 6.9 percent last year to 16.3 percent, the highest in the state. West Mifflin also showed a dramatic increase, from 6.5 percent last year to 13.6 in 1982. Ceriani said the May figures the most recent available, are not seasonally adjusted. That means they do not reflect the normal changes in the unemployment rate caused by seasonal changes.

He said May figures normally are low because of good weather, a pickup in construction work, and the opening of seasonal businesses such as amusement parks. percent rate, up from 3.7 percent last year, and Shaler with 5.6 percent, up from 4.1 percent. Bill Ceriani, regional labor market analyst for the Office of Employment Security, said the figures don't offer any surprises. "Communities close to the steel mills are experiencing a considerably larger unemployment rate than bedroom communities," he said. Unemployment rates for Pittsburgh's white-collar workers, who commute from places such as McCandless and Ross, didn't show dramatic increases.

Ceriani said white-collar layoffs have occurred recentlu, however, and those are not reflected in the May figures. While the figures indicate that unemployment is on the rise in Ross While Pittsburgh's 9.3 percent unemployment rate in May was almost the same as the national average, several suburban North communities were far below that level. But ratios may change if white-collar layoffs continue. According to the May figures released last week from the state office of Employment Security, the 3.4 percent unemployment rate in McCandless was one of the lowest in the state. That's down from 3.8 percent during the same period last year.

An official from that state agency said the bedroom communities throughout the state have lower-than-average unemployment.
