A 8 The Evening Sentinel, Carlisle, Saturday, Feb. 9, 1960 obituaries State claims N. Middleton force short' changes were part of a Randy Baker, a township resident who presented a report to supervisors Feb. 7 dealing with his concern with actions by supervisors and township police, noted that the township was in violation of the recommendation made by the department. At the meeting several residents voiced their concern over rumours of low morale among township police officers and demanded an explanation from supervisors on their recent actions toward the department.

However, supervisors have said only that the the department's police consultant and author of the report. Currently, North Middleton has three full-time officers: officer in charge William S. Weaver, Sgt. Mervin L. Anderson and Cpl.

Douglas Durnin. The township also has one part-time officer, Raymond Anderson, and two part-time secondary officers. The secondary officers are called on only in extreme emergencies. UNTIL JAN. 24, the township had two part-time officers.

But the resignation of John K. Rich became Hockley said the township has adopted all three of those recommendations. While Hockley said that he did not give the township any warnings against employing fewer than the recommended number, he made it clear a shortage of officers could cause a problem in the "TOWNSHIPS THAT don't have police protection are at a disadvantage to the people that do have police protection," he said, adding the areas that do have adequate protection "tend to export their problems" to those areas that do not. ellective on that date. Rich had accepted a full-time position with Hampden Township's police department.

Hockley said the department does not recommend that townships employ part-time officers as a matter of policy. Hockley's report was submitted to the township in April 1979, he said. Other recommendations made in the report are that the township set up rules and regulations as guidelines for the department; adopt a general work schedule; and cooperate in police protection with other townships. program to increase the effectiveness of the department. At the township's reorgan-.

ization meeting Jan. 7, supervisors stripped Weaver of his chief of police title, and. named him officer in Weaver has since filed suit claiming there is no township resolution allowing, for such action. In a strict interpretation of the term, an "officer in charge" is the ranking officer at any given time at the police office. Since Weaver's title was abolished by supervisors at the Jan.

7 meeting, he-, technically has no title. By LESLIE YEAGER The Evening Sentinel North Middleton Township should have six full-time police officers for adequate protection of its residents, according to a state report. The Pennsylvania Department of Community, Affairs last year examined the effectiveness of the township's police department. It recommended that in order "to provide 24 hour, seven day a week protection," the department should have 6.4 officers working full time, said Alfred Hockley, Joann Carlisle High School student Joann Zierdt took grand champion senior division honors Friday in the science fair.

Specifically, Mrs. Peiffer suggested that department heads be given the opportunity to sit with the salary board to discuss salaries of their employees before the budget is drafted. She said she would bring up this proposal at Monday's commissioners' meeting.

Friday, Myers took the position that he and Punt did not base their negative votes on the fact that the salary board meeting took place after the budget was adopted. He said they would have voted 'no' even if the salary board meeting had preceded the budget. In a memo to the judge, Myers said, "I strongly believe that those responsible for setting the tax rate imposition must also be responsible for setting the level of spending. Were this not the case, the salary board could compel us to set The fair included pupils from Carlisle Area Schools, Grace Baptist School, St. Patrick's School and South Middleton Schools.

The police officer, salaries that would put us in the fiscal red." THE JUDGE, in a prepared statement read at Friday's meeting, said, "The position that the salaries cannot be changed at this point is untenable. First, we trust it will not be delied that we were told that if adjustments in the titles of the positions be made, the increases in salary would be approved. Under these circumstances, it is difficult to see how a present contention that there is no money could fly. Further, if there is, as the newspapers indicate, a $6 million surplus, the assertion that there are no funds for a $10,000 total salary increase is ridiculous." To that charge, Myers replied that the $6 million is "not a surplus" but "part of a delicately fined-tuned balanced budget for 1980 and '81, designed to offer the lowest tax rate in the commonwealth." Newspaper accounts of the previous meeting said the salaries of 11 probation and parole employees were affected, but Shughart said his request had only been for nine employees.

Phyllis Schlafly, leader of anti-ERA forces, said, "Carter has stabbed American womanhood in the back in a cowardly attempt to get back the election year support of the radical feminists." The National Organization for Women, which opposes peacetime registration, said women should be called alongside men if the draft is reinstated.

The New York Times reported FBI agents fanned out Friday to interview those implicated in the Southwest scandal, which it said was code-named "Brilab" short for bribery-labor. THE TIMES said the operation was made public when a federal judge in Los Angeles released documents showing the government has spent thousands of dollars on the operation. FBI officials said earlier the bureau has 50 such undercover "sting" operations nationwide, many of them focusing on the links between organized crime and politicians. Sources said payments of $10,000 each were allegedly given by undercover FBI agents last fall to Fitzmorris and Lambert both unsuccessful Democratic candidates for governor in return for promising to secure insurance contracts for Prudential if they were elected. fire calls Friday, Feb.

patrolman Harry Lukens, was not wounded in the incident. In a press conference, Cumberland County District Attorney Edgar B. Bayley said Ross may have planned the shoot-out as an attempt at suicide. "He was despondent over a break-up with his girlfriend," Bayley said. "We believe he wanted to kill himself but couldn't bring himself to do it, and went hoping a policeman would kill him." The district attorney said Ross and Lukens had never met before the shooting.

In connection with the same incident, Ross also had been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, recklessly endangering another person and carrying a firearm without a license. However, these charges were reduced one count of aggravated assault during Friday's plea bargain.

FBI Continued from Page 1 the FBI and the Department of Justice as one of the most important investigations ever undertaken by the United States." The newspaper said that besides city and state officials in Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma, the probe extended into Arkansas. The investigation was described as being much like the FBI's "ABSCAM" undercover bribery operation that has implicated several members of Congress. That investigation, in which FBI agents posed as representatives of an Arab sheik, was disclosed last weekend. SOURCES said that in the latest scandal, FBI agents posed as agents of the Prudential Insurance offering big kickbacks to organized crime and political figures who would smoothe the way for the sale of health insurance policies.

For example, a group policy would normally sell for $100,000, but the undercover agents would charge unions and civern-ment agencies higher sums, such as $120,000, then pass the surplus back to a mob figure, other organized crime figures and public officials. Sources said that in the scandal in the Southwest, most of the evidence was gleaned from court-approved wiretaps rather than from videotapes of payoffs as in the ABSCAM probe. hospital Admitted Friday to Carlisle Hospital: Mrs. Arthur Wenger, Newville; Laura Baker, Carlwynne Manor Apartments; Mrs. Eugene Trondsen, HD4; Richard Strahosky, 1040 Wayne and Gloria Melzgcr, 170 St.

"I can't believe that the taxpayers would appreciate A $10,000 payment was also allegedly made to William Clayton, Texas speaker of the House, in return for promises he would supply to the undercover agents specifications for a state employee health insurance plan so Prudential could successfully win the bid, sources said. ONE SOURCE familiar with the inquiry said Marcello, long considered the mob chieftain in Louisiana and who the House Assassinations Committee said may have had some role in the killing of President John F.

Kennedy, demonstrated he had the muscle to instruct various groups to purchase the insurance policies despite the higher price. "If Marcello tells them to buy it, they'll buy it," the source said.
