Cromarty Urges Fallout Shelter 'Crash' Program Babylon Town Supervisor Ar- thur M. Cromarty, the chief of civil defense for his township, yesterday urged the federal govern- ment to adopt a \ crash fallout shelter program \ and pay for it by adding a percentage for one year to all income taxes. The Babylon adm 'inistrator said that civil defense and fallout pro- tection is as much part of the national program as the mainten- ance of a military service because the reason for both a strong mili- tary and a fallout program are the protecting of the people and property of the United States. Mr. Cromarty said that the pro- gram could be paid for by adding a percentage onto the cost of everyone s income tax for one year. ''In that way, \ he said , \those who are well off and those who are not\ will be pro- tecte d equall y. Mr. Cromarty call- ed the individual home shelter un- realistic because there would not be time for husbands and children to get home in the event of atom- ic attack. Mr. Cromarty, who serves as one of the 10 supervisors who sit on the Suffolk County Board of Supervisors , made his recommen- dations at a meeting of the board in the county seat in Riverhead Monday.

Cromarty ' s stand on adding to income taxes to pay for fallout Continued on page 6, this section Auxiliary Police Day Is Sunday ; Budget Hea ring The Brookhaven Town Board Tuesday designated Sunday as Town Auxiliary Police day as re- cognition of \the work performed by this unselfish and dedicated group of policemen. \ \These Auxiliary Police units , \ Supervisor August Stout , Jr., said , \ give freely ot their time , energy and cooperation. It is entirely fitting that the people of our town acknowledge their selfless and most valuable contribution to the general welfare and safety. \ In the resolution ^3 ,000 was auth- orized in the 1962 budget for re- placement of uniforms and equi p- ment for the auxiliary police units. The Town Board will hold a public hearing at 10 a. m. Satur- day on the proposed 1962 budget in the second-floor meeting room in Town Hall , Patchogue. The pre- .iminary budget is $5 , 429 , 900 , an increase of $476 , 904 over the 1961 budget of $4 , 952 , 996. Industrial Zoning A ppearing before the board , Erich Dallmer of Holtsville charg- ed that the board was acting to discourage the establishment of industry in Brookhaven Town . He contended the board was deny- ing too marry applications for zon- ing changes to permit industry. \I disagree , \ said Mr. Stout \This board has bent over back- wards to encourage industry. Town action on an application depends on the circumstances and the re- commendation of the Planning Board. When an app lication is turned down , it is with good rea- son. \ Essay Contest Tht -T* 'Brookhaven Town Civil War Centennial Comtmittee , ap- pointed by the board , will give awards to the winners of the Civil War essay contest tonight at a dinner at the Pine Grove Inn , East Patchogue.

Cooney was instructed Tuesday by the Brookhaven Town Board to ask the district engineer of the State Department of Public Works what the state ' s time table is for the proposed widening program at Senix Avenue curve in Center Moriches. \We ' ve been trying for 20 years to get the curve widened , \ said Mr. Chapman , a long-time resi- dent of East Moriches. \I under- stand that 17 persons have been killed in motor vehicle accidents at the curv e l ying several hundred feet to the we? o f Center Mor- iches High Sere ol .

Backs Town GOP Slate Bloom Announces Action: The Brookhaven Taxpayers Association , said to have represen- tatives in many communities in the Town of Brookhaven , announced this week that it has decided to throw its support behind the Repub- lican candidates running for office in the Town of Brookhaven. Oscar J. Bloom , president of the association , announced that the membership decided to do so \be- cause a careful analysis of the op- erations of the present adminis- tration indicated that it increased the payroll 79 per cent in one year , causing a waste d expendi- ture in excess of $450 , 000 in tax- payers ' money in fiscal year 1960. \ Mr. Bloom state d , \Our impar- tial analysis of the operations of this town indicates that the pres- ent administration failed to fol- low aiy of the recommendations made at the budget hearing in No- vember of 1960 by the Brook- haven Taxpayers Association and thereby cost the taxpayers over $450 , 000 in waste d revenue.

Lee Dennison) has proposed in Riverhead to date and that he has stated for the record that when he votes in Riverhead , he votes first lor the interests oi ' Suffolk County, even though it is against the interests of the peop le ol\ th- 1 Town of B* ookhaven. \This type of representation is inimicable to the interests of th? peop le of the Town of Brook- haven , and the Brookhaven Tax- payers Association , therefore , urges every voter in the Town of Brookhaven to vote for Charles Dominy and the remainder of his Republican slate in order that in- telligent management of taxpay- er money be established , \ Mr. Bloom concluded. a _ W>m _ * ___ * m# _i A • M_ ^AB _M_ 1 i ^%1 But Dennison Sees No Cause For Reviews RIVERHEAD — Despite the opposition voiced at Monday ' s length y public hearing on th e acquisition of wetlands in the town- shi ps of Riverhead and Brookhaven , County Ex- ecutive H.

The state- ment contained proposals to in- stitute a comprehensive plan \to direct development and use ot land to best sei ve the needs of tbe residents of Brookhaven Town; and to establish an independent citizens ' committee for the pur- pose of chafting an adminis- trative code , incorporating a code ot ethics lor use in conjunction, with the present Suffolk County Charter. \ Sheriff Dominy also stated , \These recommendations for town planning are based upon the needs of the town necessary to replace the hit or miss method of admin- istration we have exp n iienced -ince the opposition took office 22 months ago. The proposal is nec- essary for sound management of tow n affans. \ The pioposed town plan wou 'd involve consid\rati<m of the health , saicty, gener tl welfare , conven- ience and economy of the persons presently residing in the town , as well as those who will own prop- er ty and live there during the next 10 to lo years. \The town must provide satisfactory living environment for its citizens , \ said Mr. Dominy.

Mr. Barraud , the only Republi- can department head in Brookl a- ven Town , stated that a proposed reduction in the overall town tax- rate stems from a recommendation he made in a letter to the town board April 18. At that time , Mr. Barraud ex- plained , he recommended that the town take advantage of a special act passed this year by the Re- publican controlled New York State Legislature, which permits towns to pay off snow and ice lemoval bonds over a period of up to three years instead of the mandatory one year period pre- viously in effect. \Despite the continued harass- ment of the town Democratic ad- ministration my department has operated as efficiently and econ- omically as possible. I shall con- tinue to uphold the sound prac- tices of hi g hway department ad- ministration which has enabled the department to maintain the largest network of town highways in the entire State of New York , \ Mr. Barraud concluded. * * * COURT RULING — The State Court of Appeals , last Thursday, upheld the right of Roy K. Lester of Amagtnsett , rebel Republican committeeman, to run for East Hampton Town Highway superin- tendent. The high court , by a unanimous 7-to-0 decision , agreed with the Appellate Division , which last week by a 4-to-l ruling, reversed Suffolk Supreme Court Justice Henrv M. Zaleski.

Voters of Union Free School Dis- trict 5 (Bayport-Blue Point) will vote November 1 on bond issue of $195 , 000 for construction of a cafeteria and two new classrooms at the school. —Advance Photo BLUE POINT — Qualified voters of Union Free School District 15 (Bayport-Blue Point) will *\ ote November 1 from 2 to 9 p. m. on a bond issue of $195, 000 for consti uction of a cafeteria and two new classrooms at the Blue Point Elementary School. In a statement the district' s Board of Education said the proposed addition will provide \ a cafeteria 1 ? which will seat 180 students. By scheduling lunch times , all chil- dren may be seated in the cafe- teria. Also , the cafeteria room may be useci for band rehearsals, orchestia and chorus which are now held on the stage of the gym at the same time as ph ysical edu- cation classes. By proper p lace- ment of gates, the cafeteria room may be used for exening meet- ings without li g hting or heating the rest of the building. A kit- chen will be constructed also to serve meals efficientl y. j The school board said that at present the Blue Point school kit- chen is a converted coal bin in the basement , and the lunchroom , also in the basement , is in close proximity to the oil-fired boiler . The maximum seating capacit y of the lunchroom is 75. The actual dail y average lunches served is I 130. ' The number of children who [ bring lunches is 135. Because of the large number of children eat- ing lunch at school (hot lunches and box lunches), the first floor corridor is set up each day at lunchtime with folding tables and chairs to accommodate children with box lunches. BASEMENT LUNCHROOM is used by Blue Point Elementary School pupils who buy their lunch at school. Converted coal bin in basement is used as school kitchen. School board members point out that lunchroom to close to oil-fired boiler. —Advance Photo District 5 Votes Nov . 1 On Cafeteria , 2 Rooms L nder the proposal two regular elassiooms will be constructed on] the second floor. The board said | this would eliminate a regular class being held in the basement , I where there is presentl y a class- room. Another room in the base- ! ment is used for remedial read- ing classes , psychological services and speech correction. The board said the proposal will provide a room to house a third fourth grade , which was over- crowded this year to the extent that 10 students were transported by bus to the Bayport Elementary School. A room will also be pro- vided on the second floor for use as a remedial reading room , speech correctionist room and psy- chological services room.
