June 15, 1985 5 CityArea- Trolley tunnel closes i Warrington and Arlington avenues and onto East Carson Street. PAT is estimating that the detours will add 10 minutes each way, or a minimum of 20 minutes to the outbound schedules to its South Hills buses and trolleys. Buses and trolleys will continue to enter Downtown on the Smith-field Street Bridge and will follow normal routings and make the usual stops in the Golden Triangle. The re-routings will remain in effect until next month while tracks are realigned on both ends of the 90-year-old tunnel as part of the $559 million Light Rail Transit system between the Downtown subway and South Hills Village. Buses will return to the transit tunnel July 1 and trolleys one week later.

Both will turn right at the north end of the tunnel and stop at the Station Square transit station. directors deny control of board Glenn and me," Mildred Glenn said. "No one has worked harder than the two of us for the growth and development of the bank." The Rev. Cannon Junius F. Carter, another member of the dissident group, said the loan was properly approved by the bank's board of directors.

He lauded Glenn for buying the additional stock to assure that New World remains in control of blacks. New World is the state's only minority-owned commercial bank. The Mount Washington Transit Tunnel will close to all bus and trolley traffic for three weeks beginning early tomorrow morning. Tomorrow will also mark the return of trolley service in the Al-lentown section of the city for the first time in three years. While the tunnel is closed, trolleys will make all stops along Warrington Avenue but no cars will stop on Arlington Avenue or Carson Street, according to PAT.

The tunnel closing also means that 16 bus routes that travel the Busway will bypass Mount Washington through the West End along Saw Mill Run Boulevard, West End Bypass, West End Circle and West Carson Street. Outbound buses will be routed on East Carson Street and Arlington and Warrington avenues to the South Busway. Trolleys on routes 47L Library and 47S South Hills Village will be re-routed over the mount along Married bank using loan for William C. and Mildred J. Glenn yesterday denied they abused their management positions at the New World National Bank to secure a $173,950 loan he used to purchase bank stock.

The Glenns, who are married, and other members of a dissident group fighting for control of the bank's board of directors said management filed a law suit against the Glenns alleging the impropriety in an attempt to influence the outcome of Tuesday's election of bank directors. The suit seeks to recover the 7,861 bank shares Glenn purchased with the proceeds equal to about 9.2 percent of the outstanding stock plus any remaining cash. It also asks for more than $150,000 in damages. When the loan was approved in December, Mildred Glenn was bank resident and William Glenn was a ank director. Mildred Glenn has since resigned.

The suit said William Glenn sought the loan so he could buy enough shares to control the bank. "I categorically deny that there was or is any conspiracy by William -4 JL v.

But trolleys will cross the Monongahela River on the old Panhandle Railroad Bridge, which has been converted for use by streetcars, and enter the Downtown subway beneath Forbes Avenue and the Alle-.

gheny County Jail. That will mark the end of more than 90 years of streetcar service on the Smithfield Street Bridge and along the streets of Downtown. During the shutdown of the tunnel, contractors and PAT maintenance crews will work 24 hours a day for 16 days in realigning the tracks, repairing broken rail joints inside the tunnel, erecting new overhead wires and building a curve from the tunnel to the Station Square station.

Strauss on May 24 proposed to release Solberg on his own recognizance, providing the pastor promise not to return to the church. Solberg refused then and again on May 30, when District Justice Regis C.

Welsh Jr. offered him a similar deal.

An executive board of the Western Pennsylvania-West Virginia Lutheran Synod Church in America voted to fire Solberg because of his involvement in the Denominational Ministry Strategy, a group of about 15 pastors who used confrontational tactics to call attention to the plight of the unemployed. The church council upheld the firing.

Pieces of the Allison Park church's pipe organ were removed and mailed to corporate executives sometime after the church was opened briefly for Sunday services on May 19. Kline said he offered to arrange for Solberg to have lunch with his family at their home a short dis-" tance away. He charged the pastor "abused this and tried to make a press conference out of it. Therefore, I returned him to jail. I thought I was extending him a very generous courtesy, which he abused," Kline said.

Ann Solberg disagreed: "I was called and told that I and my kids would see my husband and then they don't show up." She also took issue with the investigation. "It seems that they're trying to focus attention on an organ rather than on the ministry that was destroyed," she said. Kline said there was no attempt to convince Solberg to promise to stay away from the church. He said of the program is contingent upon receipt of state funds. Group elects Pitt dean Dr.
