Leonard Blackman, who arrived in Detroit six weeks ago from E. J. Korvette has installed five new vice-presidents, three of whom came from Korvette, and a new divisional manager. BLACKMAN'S PLAN for turning the company around, he said, will concentrate on the right timing in introducing ladies' and men's ready-to-wear, emphasize style, color and fabric rather than size, and "very hard-hitting" advertising. "It's very difficult to say when we will make the turnaround," he added, "but obviously we're planning on an increase in sales and an increase in profits next year." In the 13 weeks ended April 29, Federal's had a net loss of $2.1 million on sales of $33.8 million.

For the 39 weeks ended April 29, the company reported a net loss of $2 million on sales of $130.1 milion. Replacing Warren Harris, who resigned recently from the Job of executive vice-president, are Arthur Deutch, general merchandise manager of softlines, and Marshall Cohen, general merchandise manager of hardlines. Deutch was formerly with Korvette; Cohen comes from Allied Stores. Former Korvette executives Dick Lowitz and Dave Goldstein take over management information systems and store mercfoan-dising-presentation, respectively. Maurice Murray, the fifth vice president, formerly with Bond Clothes, has been appointed director of sales promotion.

HAROLD Decator, divisional merchandise manager of men's clothing and men's and boy's furnishings, takes over the job formerly held by Herb Swain, who also recently resigned. Decator comes from Litt Bros, in Philadelphia. Blackman emphatically denied reports circulating that Federal's was considering a possible action under the bankruptcy laws as a solution to its difficulties. The reports, Blackman said, are "absolutely not true." The Federal's president explained that in the new appointments he has "created a very talented executive team which has a strong retail background in that each one has expertise is his specific field." II M1J KJ Here are the 15 recommended school clusters developed by the panel appointed by U. S.

District Judge Stephen J. Roth to draw up a final school integration plan for the Detroit area. Students would be bused within each of the clusters, and not from one side of the metropolitan area to the other. Each cluster contains one or two Detroit high school areas and a number of suburban school districts. Each school within a cluster would have its student composition changed so that the percentage of black students in the school would be as close as possible to the percentage of black students in the whole cluster.

Given with each cluster is the total student enrollment for the cluster and the percentage of black students. 1. Detroit's Southeastern High Scbool area with Lake Shore, Roseville and East Detroit; 52,604 students, 24.7 percent black. 2. Detroit's King High School area with South Lake, Lake-view and Grosse Pointe; 36,132 students, 26.2 percent black.

3. Detroit's Northeastern High School area with Center Line, Fitzgerald and Warren Woods; 31,483 students, 29 percent black. 4. Detroit's Denby and Finney high school areas with Harper Woods and Fraser; 35,284 students, 25.8 percent black. 5.

Detroit's Kettering and Osborn high school areas with Van Dyke and Warren; 67,115 students, 29.1 percent black. 6. Detroit's Pershing High School area with Hazel Park, Hamtramck, Lamphere, Madison Heights and Troy; 42,242 students, 25.8 percent black. 7. Detroit's Northern High School area with Ferndale, Berkley, Highland Park, Royal Oak and Clawson; 57,809 students, 27.4 percent black.

8. Detroit's Central High School area with Birmingham, Oak Park and Southfield; 52,479 students, 25.3 percent black. 9. Detroit's Mumford and Ford high school areas with Bloomfield Hills, Farmington, Clarenceville and West Bloom-field; 57,287 students, 26 percent black. 10.

Detroit's Redford and Cooley high school areas with Livonia; 72,839 students, 22.6 percent black. 11. Detroit's Mackenzie and Cody high school areas with Garden City, South Redford, North Dearborn Heights, Crest-wood, Cherry Hill and Redford Union; 81,388 students, 27.8 percent black. 12. Detroit's Northwestern High School area with Taylor, Dearborn, Dearborn Heights and Romulus; 68,210 students, 22.8 percent, black.

13. Detroit's Chadsey High School area with Inkster, Wayne and Westwood; 38,233 students, 20.6 percent black. 14. Detroit's Western High School area with Ecorse, Allen Park and Southgate; 27,790 students, 26 percent black. 15.

Detroit's Southwestern High School area with River Rouge, Riverview and Wyandotte; 26,954 students, 24.3 percent black. 18. Detroit's Murray High School area with Lincoln Park and Melvindale; 26,059 students, 24.4 percent black. vvesiein 1 -T HillV- Dfiar' lllnksternr" XL Lake Shore Warren Woods Lakeview East 1 Harper 4r (Woods Deaths i rRosevillei 41 1 i ljpJl I 19 DETROIT 4 I ij Nj iouthvslern )f XviKivuiuait' ib.

The tragedy also claimed the life of a 17-year-old good Samaritan who tried to save him.

According to police, friends of Robert Majewski, 1,1, of Warren, swam a 75-foot canal to a small island Thursday at about 1 p.m. and dared the Majewski boy to follow. Macomb Deputy Charles Spranger said that when the youth stayed back on the beach, "they kept yelling at him that he was chicken until he Jumped in a started swimming."

The younger Chojnacki quickly beached the boat, ran 30 yards across the island and dove after the drowning youth. "The boy, panicked and grabbed hold of John and dragged him down," the senior Chojnacki said Friday. Chojnacki dove In after the two teenagers, but was unable to find them in the muddy water. Skin divers from the Macomb County sheriff's Marine Patrol recovered both bodies at 3:20 p.m. Thursday, a few feet apart in 10 feet of water.

They were 20 feet from shore. Chojnacki said his son was an all-A student, "a consider ate person who thought more for other people than for himself." But he added: "It won't bring him back." FUNERAL services for John Chojnacki Jr. will be at 9 a.m. Monday at St. Clement's Church in Center Line.

U.S. Panel Sniffs A I Cold Remedies WASHINGTON The National Academy of Sciences accepts less than one in 10 effectiveness claims made for a representative sampling of 27 non-prescription cold remedies. Among popular over-the-counter compounds rated ineffective in a report released Friday is Coricidin cold tablets, manufactured by Schering Corp.

of Bloomfield, N.J. Contac sustained-release capsules, made by Men-ley James Laboratories of Philadelphia, were judged possibly effective, meaning there is no evidence that they work 12 hours against cold congestion. In evaluating 45 claims of effectiveness, the academy's National Research Council judged three remedies as effective, five effective with reservations, 15 possibly effective and 13 probably effective. Rated effective without reservation were Isophrin nose drops for nasal congestion; Fedrazil for hay fever; and Chlorephrine Nyscaps for hay-fever nasal congestion and as a time-release capsule.

The compromise was worked out in a backstage room of Reykjavik's main sports hall Thursday night, a few minutes before Fischer, the American challenger, and Spassky, the world champion from Russia, appeared on stage to draw lots for the first move, the sources said. THE 24-GAME $250,000 match originally was scheduled to begin last Sunday, but was delayed by Fischer's failure to show up and the Russian demands that he be punished.

"One of our conditions to play the match at all was that the Russians give up their demand for the first match point," said Fred Cramer, a vice-president of the U.S. Chess Federation. Cramer said minor obstacles still might crop up before the first game, "but nothing serious enough to endanger the start of the match.".
