Marine Points Out City Police Pension Sound By Bill Eaton
Marine National Bank Trust Department officials told The Journal that Corry elected to set up its police pension plan after evaluating Marine proposals among others. They cited an $84,023 book to market gap in 1973 and $90,855 last year, but said the fund’s stocks and bonds remain a sound long term choice as markets fluctuated. First quarter gains reached 15 percent with market value rising to $179,106 by March 14, while the Stanford Hose Company fund posted a 12 percent gain. The pension paid out $16,932 last year to five retirees and a widow. current pensioners include Keppel Litton Carnegie Drake French and Mrs. Vera Robertson.

Rockefeller not ordered to testify in Attica murder case
State Supreme Court justice Gilbert H. King ruled that Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller need not be subpoenaed as a material witness in the murder trial of two former Attica inmates charged with killing guard William Quinn during the 1971 uprising. Rockefeller, then New York governor, did not have first hand knowledge of Quinns death and his testimony would be hearsay. The defendants John B. Hill and Charles J. Pernasillce, both charged with murder, faced the case.
