Proponents cite public input and environmental safeguards, while opponents warn of reverse administrative processes and staffing limits.

Selective Involvement Urged By Interfaith Speaker
About 200 area women heard Herbert E. Kregeloh of Springfield Mass discuss the problem of involvement at Mt Anthony Union High School Cafeteria. He contrasted necessary neighborly aid with over involvement and warned of activist clergy and a “revolutionary era” of student seduction. He cited Kitty Genovese, an elderly woman with a broken hip, and a bleeding boy case to illustrate indifference and selective involvement. The talk touched on civil rights, the draft, and clergy roles, followed by unrelated film listings and upcoming showtimes at local venues.

House Eyes Tax Relief For Elderly
Final action on a measure providing property tax relief to elderly citizens was expected today in the House. The House adjourned after Ways and Means Chairman Peter Giuliani tried to suspend rules to move the bill to passage and Senate, while Rep. William Orcutt objected that the bill could penalize low income residents in wealthy towns. The relief uses a formula based on elderly income and local grand list wealth. In a separate action, the House sent to the Senate a measure allowing small loan companies to lend up to 1500 dollars, Orcutt losing his bid to cap at 1000 dollars.
