One thing was crystal clear to more than 50 persons that jammed EOP conference room there is a critical need for housing in Elmira for lowincome groups, particularily those families that will have to be relocated because of planned projects on Elmira's Eastside. Irwin Halpern of New York City, chief of the Leased Housing Section of the Federal Housing Assistance Administration, explained the program of leasing assistance and answered several questions in this field. The leasing proposal, entitled Section 23 Leasing Program, authorizes the Housing Assistance Administration to make annual contributions available to local housing authorities so that privately owned dwellings may be leased for periods of occupancy.

by low income families at rents within their means. Halpert said the program would ease pressing relocation needs, among other benefits, at "absolutely no cost to the city administration." A low income family would be charged a certain rent, with the balance of the monthly rent being picked by the federal government. The official explained the many aspects of the leasing program, including: 1. The initial term of the lease would be for not less than 12 months nor more than 36 months. Options for renewal may be permitted for periods not to exceed three years for an aggregate term not to exceed ten years.

2. If the owner was willing, the lease may contain an op tion giving the tenant an option hash over issues from the Voters' annual Candidates maker and Democrat Thomas S. Craig, both of Elmira, presented their cases for election to the Constitutional Convention in Albany next spring. Congressman Robison and aspirant Ewing, who blasted his opponent for his 'No' votes on aid-to-education bills and others, disagreed on the merits of the now Congress. Ewing termed it a 'great ConShoe-gress," while Robison said it las the Heritage Park Project, the state's new mental hospital and a planned County HealthWelfare Complex is completed.

School Board OKs Electrical Contract A low bid of $7,100 for electrical work in connection with the 200-car parking lot being constructed behind Elmira Free Academy was accepted by the Elmira Board of Education at a special meeting Wednesday afternoon. Donald Fudge of the architectural firm of Fudge and Underhill said the electrical bid would result in a project cost of $48,700, plus architects. fees for a total of $50,622. Excavation work on the six-inch base for the lot was begun Tuesday.

Accepted was the low base bid of $7,100 by Bedzyk Electric Service of Elmira. Other bids were $7,664 by Crum Electric Co. and $7,900 by Cady Electric Inc. of Horseheads. An alternate bid for use of existing conduit was not accepted after Fudge said the conduit was too small for use in the parking lot lighting system.

Fudge said a question raised by Crum Electric also had been resolved. for periods of 4-7 minutes, of questions from the audi- was one which was "too willing to leave everything to Lyndon," adding that it led to confusion among the people on the Viet Nam conflict. Noting that Robison has refused to debate him Oct. 30 (Sunday), Ewing, 32, said the "incumbent is not the kind of congressman we should have; we need someone with vigor and enthusiasm for the job." Robison said the true issues are the Viet Nam war, inflation brought on by Great Society measures, imbalance in government and the future of creative federalism. Robison accused Ewing of shrugging off the Viet Nam war as not being of concern to the people of this district, charging that "with the dead and wounded in Viet Nam, it is not now a war in which we're helping Viet Nam, but a war between the United States and the Communist Vietnamese." In answering Ewing's charges on his record, Robison said that when he votes he tries to sort out priorities, "which is He added that "Ewing is a man who is for In reply to a later question from the audience, Robison said he would not propose dealing directly with the Viet Cong in seeking an end to the war, as Ewing proposed.

He said the bombings of North Viet Nam have failed to some extent and that we should instead cut the Ho Chi Minh Trail to halt infiltration and supply lines. "We shouldn't be generals, but should debate in Congress," noted said he the congress- glad was President Johnson took his trip to Manila. Morrison charged Sen. Smith with being an ultraconservative, "relegating us to a horse-andbuggy era in this jet age." Noting that he and Smith are "at opposite poles," Morrison said the area is not getting its fair share of state and federal aid. Morrison pointed to a lack of physicians and inadequate, po: lice and fire protection in small and rural communities, He said he felt that all food should be exempt from the sales tax, plus children's clothing to aid lower-income groups.

Sen. Smith said he wants a "common sense government" which will protect the upstate from big-city domination, balance the public need with the ability to pay by sorting out programs we can afford and maintain an efficient home rule. He said "I don't want to take all the power to Albany; home rule is a basic GOP concept." Rebutting to Morrison's statement that "our leaders are leaders and not bosses," Smith said that Morrison "hasn't seen the bosses in. operation like I have, where they run to the telephone to see what the lead- 9-Month Increase of $3.75 Million E-L Net Income Up Nine-Fold The Erie Lackawanna Rail- income was laid to a combina- No payments were received road has reported net income tion of an increase in business in 1966 as Erie Lackawanna did nearly nine-fold for.

Craig said that the election of Constitutional Convention delegates "transcends in importance all other decisions facing the voters." He said the Constitution was "in a mess, needing revision and re-study." Craig cited his civic endeavors, including candidacies for supervisor, councilman said and that mayor.

In rebuttal, Craig said a prime issue is a fair formula of reapportionment for all levels of government on the one-man, one-vote basis. Noting that the preamble to the Constitution starts with "we the people," Shoemaker said this illustrates the basic idea and not that of "we the committee or we the party or something else." SEN.

YMCA, Elmira. (Details of Death Notices on Page 41.) The president of Airlines Wednesday night foresaw a time soon when single major airport that will lead to non -stop jet service to the West. Coast will be needed in the Southern Tier. Robert E. Peach, principal speaker at the banquet of the Chemung County Chamber of Commerce held in the Elmira College Campus Center, also urged continued expansion of the Chemung County Airport to meet the needs of growing commercial air traffic.

Referring to the major jet airport, Peach said the faciity could be "completely integrated with an improved highway system to serve the Southern Tier." He did not indicate where the airport might be located. Peach said the time is almost here when non stop jet service to cities such as Los Angeles and San Fancisco will be available to area travelers. He said Mohawk wouldn't provide the service but would serve to prod the trunk lines such as has recently been done Buffalo. The major jetport would not make existing airports obsolete, he said, because they would be busy with other air travel. "Mohawk plans in five months to have 100 per cent Rolls Royce powered aircraft, meaning we'll be all turbo prop or fan jet," he said.

"In the next few years our 70-passenger airplanes of will that be you baby not freeze airplanes. forever I urge the Chemung County, Airport. Its expansion we need for the best possible service." Peach said growing congestion in the air and on the ground demands improvement of airport facilities if aviation is to continue to serve the area. Mohawk's immediate future in the Elmira Corning area will be coupled with more and bigger jets, more non-stop flights and service to Chicago, he said. Mohawk recently applied for permission to open service to Chicago from the Chemung County Airport.

Peach featured speak: er for the banquet that had as its theme "A Salute to Aviation." Other speakers were Jackson A. Reynolds, president of the Elmira Area Soaring Corp. who stressed the need to fulfill a three-point program aimed at improving soaring facilities on Harris Hill and at the airport. The program called for enlarging and modernizing equipment on the hill, establishment of a soaring museum and library and enlargement of a generai recreation program to encourage skiing, skating, camping and other activities. "The growth of soaring in the country is fantastic," he said.

"But locally it is poor." Russell S. Johnson, chairman of the Joint Aviation Council, recounted the efforts of the group composed of representatives of the Chambers of Commerce of Chemung County and the Greater Corning Area during the past year to retain flight service to Washington and Philadelphia from the Chemung County Airport. Arthur P. Sutty executive vice president of the Chemung County Chamber, read, a speech by Glenn S. Banfield, manager of the airport, who was unable to attend.

For the future of the airport, Banfield said more property must be' secured for clear zones and expansion of runways, aprons or ramps must be expanded, two more boarding stations are needed to move increasing air traffic, runway and taxi areas must be widened, and runway lighting must be improved. and SER Elmira, N.

EVANS Heads of of Head Sees 'Year of Decision' to buy. 3. Properties will remain under private ownership and on the city's tax rolls. Halpert stressed that many homes that are not now being rented, that are not producing income, would be fixed by landlords who saw in the he leasing plan a proposal that would turn liabilities into assets. The leasing proposal is being taken under consideration.

Evans, speaking to the more than 200 persons at the annual of banquet, cited the problems and areas of importance as being the consolidation of county services, an arterial highway, railroad relocation, urban renewal, civil rights, increased recreational programs, soaring, increased tour. ism, youth programs and inter-chamber communications. Evans was introduced by William J.

Griffiths, outgoing president. The question involved the nonunion status of Bedzyk Electric and decision by the electrical union not to accept a welfarepension payment stipulated in the contract. Fudge said other trade unions accept such payment, but in this case Bedzyk proposed to pay the sum directly to its employes: The board scheduled two meetings for next month: Nov. 3 at 5:30 to consider furniture bids for its new district administrative office attached to EFA and Nov. 15 at 8 p.m.

for a regular board meeting. The Nov. 15 session will replace the usual second Tuesday meeting scheduled Nov. 8, Election Night. Schools Supt.

Charles E. Davis said district offices would not move to the new facility by mid-November, but gave no date for the move. A Nov. 15 moving date was reported last week by Arthur G. Goodwin, director of buildings and grounds.

John Lewis and seven children, who lost most of their possessions in the second of two fires at 713 E. Market St. early this week, are living temporarily with a neighbor, Mrs. Mildred Grace of 206 Orchard St. The Lewis children, five girls and two boys, range in age from 3 to 13.

Most. of their clothing was ruined in the fire and the Red Cross has supplied emergency food and clothing assistance. The Lewis family occupied an apartment. over a used goods store on the east side of the structure. The first and second floors on the west side were occupied by Mr.

and Mrs. Theodore Casterline, owners of the building. A fire Monday night damaged the second floor of the Casterline residence. The Lewis apartment in that fire received only minor smoke damage. Mr.

Lewis, a son of Mrs. Casterline, and his family moved to the Orchard St. address to allow Mr. and Mrs. Casterline to take over their apartment for the night, Lewis explained.

Early Tuesday morning the fire rekindled in the attic over the Lewis apartment. When firemen arrived shortly after 7 a.m. they assisted Mr. and Mrs. Casterline from the Lewis apartment.

It was during the Tuesday morning fire that water damaged clothing and nishings in the Lewis apartment. About all he was able to save, Lewis said, was the TV, metal beds, refrigerator and breakfast set. Mr. and Mrs. Casterline have moved temporarily to another house they own at 756 E.
