obi P. f. '0 too 00 GO 00 Two months ago my 80-year-old father tailed a Detroit firm about an inexpensive hearing aid it advertised. Two salesmen went to his home and said the low-priced model was sold out, but sold him a used one for $170 all the money he had. Next day he couldn't put it on, and the firm won't take it back.

Can you help? H.S. Action line got everyone together; H.S. and the salesman tried to show Dad how to wear the device, which had the receiver behind the ear. But Dad wanted nothing more to do with it. The company gave up, substituted a model with a chest receiver.

Free Press Staff Writers The home telephone numbers of five key Detroit police officers including Deputy Paul P. Sheridan and Mayor Cavanagh' chauff eur bodyguard are listed in an address book seized in the po-1 i raid on Greektown's Grecian Gardens restaurant. Scrawled among the entries in the little black book are the numbers of: Sheridan, the No. 2 man in the department since his promotion last November. Inspector Henry C.

Majeski, boss of the police department's Liquor License Bureau since 1963 and a longtime Vice Bureau officer. Sgt. Alfred Elliott, a Vice Bureau officer for two years before being transferred to -Vernor Station last March. District Inspector John J. O'Neill, head of the uniform division in western Detroit.

Sgt. John Darnell, driver and bodyguard for Mayor Cavanagh. All five said they did not know why their numbers were listed in the book. THE ADDRESS book, along with another little black book an apparent payoff roster and a Christmas list in which it was charged that alleged Greektown gambling fixers Costas (Gus) Colacasides and Peter Vitale kept records of bribes paid to keep police from cracking down, were seized as evidence in a Wayne County, grand jury raid on the Grecian Gardens early on the morning of Jan. 22.

Colacasides is owner of the restaurant at 562 Monroe, a block from police headquarters, and Vitale is the restaurant's night manager. The three documents were offered as evidence in the pre-trial examination of Colacasides and Vitale on charges of bribery and conspiracy to bribe. Recorder's Court Judge Vincent Brennan admitted as evi dence one page of the alleged payoff roster on which appeared the name of a police undercover agent who set' up the raid and the arrests. Two numbers are listed for Sheridan in the address book, one of them his home telephone number in Detroit, the other for the Cavalier Hotel in Fort Lauderdale, where Sheridan vacationed in March, 1964. At the same time, Colacasides was taking a Florida vacation himself.

He stayed in Miami, about 20 miles away. Listed with Sheridan's hotel number are four more Florida telephone numbers, all of which date from Colacasides vacation: One for his Miami land-Turn to Page 4A, Column 1 On Your Feet!

Page 7B. BY MARY ANN WESTON AND STAN PUTNAM Free Prtts staff Writers More than 1,900 teachers in four suburban Detroit districts and Flint walked off their jobs Thursday and! brought the stiff est test yet! of the amended Michigan; law barring strikes by pub-; lie employes. The actions closed most of the 103 public schools in Taylor Township, Melvindale, North Dearborn Heights and Flint. The schools have 76,074 pupils. THE WALKOUT in North Heights brought quick action from the Board of Education.

It voted to terminate pay for all striking teachers and threatened "severe disciplinary ac tion." Superintendent Alton W. Gow-an said all teachers still on strike by Monday will face possible demotion, removal of tenure or dismissal. Gowan said 45 of the districts's 115 teachers failed to show up for work Thursday morning. The strike is to continue Friday. The threat of disciplinary action is the first against striking teachers since a mandatory dismissal clause was removed from Michigan law covering strikers by public employes.

Two other districts Melvindale and Taylor Township moved Thursday to get injunctions to stop the strikes. Circuit Judge Victor J. Baum adjourned a show-cause hearing on the Melvindale complaint at 6:15 p.m. Thursday. He directed the two sides who were to meet Thursday night to return at 9 a.m.

Friday if a settlement had not been reached. Circuit Judge Blair Moody Jr. set a show cause hearing for 2:30 p.m. Friday on the Tavlor Both complaints alleged that the strikes were illegal and charged they were "disrupting and demoralizing" the school systems. The Melvindale suit charged that the strike was depriving the district's 5,500 students of an education and deplored the "ut ter lawlessness" of the teachers from whom students are ex pected to learn good citizen ship." The Taylor Township com plaint alleged the strike jeopardized the district's estimated $5 million in State aid.

To get State aid, school district must hold school 180 days a year. Only 175 days have been held in Taylor. THE ATTORNEY for the Crestwood and North Dearborn Heights districts, Royal Targan, said no injunctions would be sought there. The strikes in Taylor Township, Melvindale, and North Dearborn Heights were called by locals of the Michigan Feder ation of Teachers (MFT).

Seeks China Deal OnA-Bomb (C) New York Times Servica WASHINGTON The United States has raised the possibility of entering into a pledge with Communist China that neither nation would be the first to use nuclear weapons. Such an agreement would hinge on China's agreeing to stop atomic testing. And the Johnson Adminis tration told North Vietnam that the United States will stop bombing that nation if North Vietnam will stop sending troops into South Vietnam and accept some sort of interna' tional checking system to verify whether it is doing so. The offers have been con veyed in recent days through diplomatic channels and through private, informal contacts by individuals. Thus far, there has been no reaction from either communist nation.

AT A MEETING with Chi nese diplomats in Warsaw last week, the United States raised the possibility that China might subscribe to the limited test ban treaty if this country agreed to China's proposal for a no Turn to Page 10-A, Column 1 Eggs Are 'Fried?

Recorder's Judge John Boyne told Dollar: "A man with lumm National Committeeman Neil Staebler, an ardent Williams supporter, said, "I know of no such effort" to ask Cavanagh to step out of the race. However, it was learned that some Williams people are fearful that any publicity about such efforts would nudge Cavanagh, an impulsive and stubborn Irishman, toward the opposite direction. THESE WILLIAMS people have thus decided to let Cavanagh think through for him- Turn to Page 8A, Column 1 your name should have more cents than to be begging.

Best way for long playing records is with cloths or sprays sold at most record stores. They'll remove dirt, dust and static electricity which builds up on the vinyl-based surfaces and attracts dust. You can remove dirt, but not electricity, with soft cloth, mild soap and lukewarm water.

Be sure to rinse well. Caution: don't use sprays on 78's; it'll ruin them; use soap and water. Don't worry about electricity on 78's their shellac-based surfaces create none. A Detroit radio station says it doesn't clean its records; keeps 18 copies of each, throws 'em away as they wear out. The most popular ones are played up to 22 times daily; one copy lasts barely a week.

Someone broke into Noble Junior High School and stole my son's trumpet. The school says it can do nothing. Is that true? J.D. Detroit public schools carry no liability insurance on musical instruments, claim the cost would be more than the value of the few instruments which are stolen. Noble says it warns students not to leave instruments in the band-clinic room because of possible theft.

Theft of the trumpet and two other instruments last semester was reported to police. They'll call you if the horn is found. In my attic I found about 150 vocal arrangements for trios and quartets, mostly spirituals with some show tunes and more serious music. Do you know of some group that might use them? L.N.

The Club's 80 members, most of them in wheelchairs, usually meet at Ferndale Community Center. They bowl, sing, put on dancing exhibitions and contests. They have a 15-acre recreation area near Utica, hope to raise funds for a camp there. I bought a beauty salon in May, 1965, and paid for a state beautician license, but still haven't received it.
