DATES IN THIS ISSUE Vote to Deed Roads To B haven Township 800 Attend NSBPOA Meeting: NORTH SHORE BEACH -— The North Shore Beach Property Owners ' Association met Sunday and voted in favor of dedicating the association ' s 40 miles of private roads to the Town of Brook- haven. The meeting, attended by "over 800 members ," followed a dispute between the town board and the J* association as to whether the pri- vate roads in North Shore Beach , which belong to the organization , should be turned over to the town. In December of 195!) , the town told the association that they could dedicate the roads then , but after a meeting by the group, the offer was refused. In September , the town board issued an ultimatum to the NSB- POA saying that either the roads be dedicated by September 30 or the town would no longer con- tinue maintenance on them. Prior to this, the town had maintained the roads and was reimbursed b y the organization. This procedure , said Supervisor August Stout , Jr., in a September release , was de- clared illegal by the New York State Department of Audit and Control. Road service bv the town was discontinued on Seotember 30. Last week the NSBPOA asked the town board to provide for main- tenance of the roads until the group could hold a meeting and clear up the deeds on the property. Befo re the general meeting Sunday , the Road Study Commit- tee of the NSBPOA met with Special Town Attorney George E. Lechtrecker , T o w n Councilmen Harold L. Chapman , Frank Covo- ney, John J. Foley, Superintendent of Highways Charles W. Barraud and Attorney Arthur Berge r, rep- resenting the committee. The general meeting was held at Rocky Point School , Rocky Point , and was attended bv " over 800" persons. The majority re- port , favoring the turnover of the roads to the town , was delivered by William R. Robbins. The minor- ity report was presented by At- torney Nicholas .J. Ferri.

Rule May Cost Jobs Of 300 Civil Emp loyes RIVERHEAD A court action pending before Supreme Court Justice Fred J. Munder , if decided in favor of Suffolk County, could imperil the jobs of about 300 county, town and village employes , who although they never took competitive examinations, were covered-in last January. After hearing arguments Mon- day fro m both sides , Judge Mun- der reserved decision. Former Islip Police Chief Bern- aid Gaiser , now a lieutenant in the Suffolk County Police , through his attorney, James Fallon , argued the " covering-in " should apply to him. A resolution adopted by the County Civil Service Commission last December , and approved hy the State Civil Service Commis- sion January 7, of this year , gave civil service status and protection to all employes employed since July 1, 1955, even if they had never taken competitive examinations. Police were excluded. Lieut. Gaiser , who has been a policeman since 1930 , was appoint- ed captain in 1955 , and became Islip Police chief November I, 195(5. When the Islip force was in- corporated into the county depart- ment January 1 , Gaiser was trans- ferred as a lieutenant , and then provisionally appointed a captain at an $8, 500-a-year salary. Later , he was named a division inspector at a salary of $1.0, 000. Lieut. Gaiser took the exam for captain in May, but failed the test. Last month he was reverted back to his permanent rank of lieutenant. Attorney Fallon asked Judge Munder to order the Suffolk Civil Service Commission and Police Commissioner Charles R. Thorn to rate him permanent captain. He cited the " covering-in " resolution approved by the state , and con- tended that up until this year , Lieut. Gaiser never had an oppor- tunity to take the captain 's exam- ination. Assistant County Attorney George W. Percy, Jr., representing Commissioner Thorn and the Civil Service Commission , asked Jud ge Munder to dismiss the suit. Mr. Percy argued that the " cov- er-in " resolution , although approv- ed by the state , "is unconstitution- al , because it violates Article 5, Section fi , of the State Constitu- tion. " The section requires all ap- pointments and promotions in civil service be made according to merit and fitness to be ascertain- ed by competitive examination , Mr. Perc y said. He also charged the resolution was invalid and illegal because it violates the rules of the County Civil Service Commission.

The proposition needed a two-thirds majorit y to carry . In Selden , the " proposition was defeated by 559 to 58, •while in Centereach the count was 725 to 119. The pool would have been an additional wing on the jun- ior high school building which is to be constructed here in Centereach near Fortv-Third Street and Marktvee Road. It would have increased the tax rate by 19 cents per $100 of assessed valuation , p lus an ad- ditional 10 cents per $100 for maintenance , a Board of Ed- ucation spokesman estimated. The boaord spokesman added that it was very doubtful at this time that a similar prop- osition would be put to a vote again. Opposition to the proposition from its inception was expres- sed by the Selden Taxpayers Association. Former Town Hwy. Buying Methods Hit RIVERHEAD A for- mer Brookhaven Town Hi ghway foreman , who pleaded guilty November 1 to shorting Babylon Vil- lage on deliveries of high- way materials , was given a suspended sentence , fined $500 and ordered to pay the village . $2 ,598, Monday in Supreme Court here in Riverhead. Justice Arthur Markewich im- posed the sentence on Rudolph Hahn , 58, of Route 112, Coram. Hahn p leaded guilty to one mis- demeanor count of "being grossly negligent in the delivery of mate- rial. " His plea satisfied two indict- ments charging him with obtain- ing proceeds of fraudulent audits , fraudulently presenting bills for payment , plus 14 counts of for- gery. The charges against Andrew Hulsberg, 31, of Rock Road , Mt. Sinai , who had been on trial with Hahn , were dismissed. Mr. Huls- berg had been a truck driver em- ployed by Hahn. Special Prosecutor Edwyn Sil- berling alleged that Hahn , a for- mer supplier of road building ma- terial , in 1956, sold Babylon Vil- lage $5, 000 worth of sand and gravel and billed the village for $10,000. Stating that Babylon Village had been cheated out of $2 ,598 by Hahn , Judge Markewich ordered him to pay it back within six months or go to jail. He also fined Hahn $500 and gave him a nine-month suspended jail term. Presentment Handed Up Also on Monday, Justice Marke- wich received a seven-page pre- sentment handed up by "Scandals " Grand Jury Foreman II. D. Turn- bull of Riverhead. After studying the presentment , Judge Markewich ordered it filed and made public. The document severely criticized Brookhaven Highway Department purchasing practices for the four- year period 1954 through 1958, and the Town Highway Superintendent Charles Barraud. Judge Markewich said the pre- sentment was a " real contribution to Suffolk County government." The judge said that if Mr. Silber- ling had been gra nted $239, 000 to continue the investigations in- stead of having his budget for 1900 slashed to $115,000 , and then ordered to " speed up " his probe , a more complete report might have been accomplished sooner. He concluded by stating, "If I possibly can , I will find some way to see the investigation does not stop. I will do everything within the realm of my responsibility to see that the work is not wasted.

The boy, sinee operated on , is now making a " remarkably fast recovery. " On November 15, nine-year-old George Pedersen , son of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert E. Pedersen, Alma Court , Lake Grove , was op- erated on at Long Island Jewish Hospital for a defective heart. This was the final operation in a series of three , the lirst two being preliminary to the actual entry into the heart. In order for the doctors to make the dramatic incision , 15 pints of fresh blood had to be available for use with an artificial heart that substituted for the boy 's heart, during the operation. The week prior to the opera- tion , the boy ' s mother made an appeal through the Lions Club of the Konkonkomas for , 15 pints of A-Positive blood, 12 pints to be delivered to the hospital on the evening before the operation , another three to be made avail- able hy donors on the morning of the operation. The Lions Club went into action and sent out press releases. The Patchogue Advance , in its No- vember 10 issue, printed the ap- peal as did other newspapers in the area, while local radio sta- tions voiced the need. This week , the Lions Club re- ported that the appeal was an- swered overwhelmingly. The de- mand for 15 pints of blood had been more than doubled with 33 respondents answering the call. On the morning of the opera- tion , at 7 a. m., instead of the three donors needed, seven per- sons showed up. Frank X.

Goldfein Expect County To Elect Own Congressman Under Congressional dis- trict reapportionment , based on the 1 960 census , Suffolk County is expected to elect its own congressman in 1 962 and share another with Eastern Nassau County. Although Suffolk may gain a seat , the state will lose two seats , reducing its representation from 43 to 41. Reapportionment is the decision of the state legislature and there are no restrictions as to how the boundaries of new districts will be fixed. Based on the 1000 census , each congressional district in the state should have about a 410 ,000 population. Each state ' s number of representatives is determined by its percentage of the nation ' s pop- ulation. Suffolk County has an estimated population of 000 ,000 and is there- fore entitled to a congressman and a half. This vill mean that a reap- portionment will combine the more heavily populated West End towns of the county with an Eastern seg- ment of Nassau County to form one district. This would leave nine of Suffolk' s 10 towns in the First Congressional District. In the recent elections , Con- gressman Stuyvesant Wainwright was defeated , primarily because of the Nassau part of his district.

Expect CountyTo Elect OwnCongressman

Under Congressional dis-trict reapportionment , basedon the 1 960 census, SuffolkCounty is expected to electits own congressman in1 962 and share anotherw i t h E a s t e r n NassauCounty.

Although Suffolk may gain aseat , the state will lose two seats,reducing its representation from43 to 41.

Reapportionment is the decisionof the state legislature and thereare no restrictions as to how theboundar ies of new districts willbe fixed. Based on the 1000 census ,each congressional district in thestate should have about a 410,000population. Each state's number ofrepresentatives is determined byits percentage of the nation 's pop-ulation.

Suffolk County has an estimatedpopulation of 000,000 and is there-fore entitled to a congressman anda half. This vill mean that a reap-portionment will combine the moreheavily populated West End townsof the county with an Eastern seg-ment of Nassau County to formone district. This would leave nineof Suffolk's 10 towns in the FirstCongressional District.

In the recent elections , Con-gressman Stuyvesant Wainwrightwas defeated , primarily because ofthe Nassau part of his district.
