Rescuer bangles
By Rope to Save
Girl From Plunge

NEW YORK, Sept. % (AP) =.
"A policeman swinging from a
rope made a circus-style rescue
of a 10-year-old girl yesterday
as she was about to topple from
a fourth-floor fire-escape.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jon Monponte
said their daughter, Diosa, who
had been under psychiatric
treatment, balanced on the fire
escapes outer guard railing.
The child ignored all attempts
to talk her in.
Patrolman Jack Leonard and
several other policemen went to
the roof of the building. Patrol
man Leonard looped a rope
around his waist and held the
slack himself while other po-
lice held the end.
AS hundreds watched from
the street and nearby windows,
he lowered himself over the
roof edge. Diosa did not see
him. AS he descended, he saw
her lean far over and start
to lose her balance.
The patrolman let go of the
slack and dropped about five
feet as the men on the root
braced themselves. He swung
inward as the line frightened,
toppled the child backward
with a thrust of his palm and
then scissored her between his
legs.
Other police hauled Diosa
and Patrolman Leonard inside

Junior High School to disperse
some 200 pupils who were
watching a fist fight between
two boys, outside the school.
Today, teams of police stood
by at the school, but students
entered quietly. They said the
disorder stemmed from friction
between Puerto Rican and
Negro students and was touched
off by an earlier fight between
a Negro and a Puerto Rican
boy.
Three policemen were at
tackled by about a dozen boys
when they sought to send the
youngsters home. A ringleader
was a 17-year-old youth who
was not a student at the school.
Police withheld his real name
but said he went by the nick
name of Abdulla Muhammad.
The youth tore off the gun
and holster of a policeman and
held the gun on the officer.
The youth was then grabbed
from behind by a second police
man and put under arrest after
much kicking and lighting.
Shortly after the youth had
been taken to a nearby police
station, more than 600 young
sters gathered outside the sta
tion. Many of them hurled
stones, one rock smashing a
window.
Firemen we're called and
broke up the crowd with water
hoses.
Two Negro fi~cmen'were hurt
by rocks thrown at them and
two policemen suffered cuts and
bruises.

School Bus
Beneficiary
DepIores Law

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. % (AP).
"A Cadillac owner who won
a 81, 300 contract from a school
district to drive his two
daughters to a private school
says he objects to the State
law that permits such trans
portation outside school dis
tricts.
The viewpoint of Walter F.
WeSsendorf, jr., a 32-year-old
lawyer, was reported today in
a copyrighted story in the
Knickerbocker News.
The contract with Mr.. WeS-
sendorf, who has two 1859
Cadillacs licensed as buses, was
made public Tuesday, but he
had not been available to re-
porters seeking to learn his
stand.
Sure, I'm going to sign the
contract" he said when inter-
viewed. "I'll sign unless Rocky
(Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller)
calls a special session Of the
legislature to repeal the law"
The newly effective law re-
quires school districts to pro-
vide transportation to pupils to
non-public schools within 10
miles of their homes.
"I don't think there should
be any transportation outside
school districts" Mr.. Wessen-
dorf said. IF it continues, 1t
will bankrupt all school dis
trictS."
Mr.. Wessendorf's bid for the
contract was $3.50 lower than
the only other bid, a Spokes-
man for the school district
said.
The Wessendorfs live in sub
urban Westmere, about eight
miles from the Albany Academy
for Girls, the school they chose
for their daughters, Marcia, 7,
and Chanty, S. The school said
the total tuition for two girls
of that age would be about
$1,000, not including books,
meals and uniforms.

For Science

RICHMOND, Dec. 9 tAP) -
An experimental program that
would replace eighth and ninth
grade general science with four
specific one-semester science
courses was approved by the
State Board of Education yes
terday.
The program may be adopted
by any locality on a voluntary
basis.
Franklin D. Kizer, supervisor
of science with the State De-
partment of Education. said a
tentative outline of the pro-
gram will be distributed to
school divisions throughout the
State within two weeks.
The program would replace
general science with one-seme-
ster courses in biology, chem
istry, physics and earth-space
science such as geology and
astronomy,
1t is designed to give greater
depth in science teaching and
to eliminate duplication of ma
terial taught in the various
science courses.
The program, is similar to
ones already adopted in Rich
mond and several other Vir-
ginia school divisions. Mr.. XII
ger said.
In other action, the educa-
ton board revised certification
standards for special licenses
for teachers effective next
July l.
Under the revised standards
applicants for special licenses
hereafter must have at least
so semester hours of college
credit to obtain a three-yeal

sionerS, the plan has been a
year in the making.
1t offers the following pro-
jections and proposals:
High density development
should be encouraged along
specific corridors - four in
number-with open space serv-
ing as a buffer between the
fingers of dense settlement.
Each corridor would include
sub-centers of population and
employment - satellite cities
ranging from $4,000 to 100000
population. They would each
be connected to the District
the heart of the region, by rap
id transit.
2.2 Million BY 1000
BY developing such corridors
the bi-county region will be
able to hold an expected Ia
million people by 1980-twice
its present population - anc
nearly % million estimated by
the year 1000.
This population growth still
would mean that less than hal
of the two counties total 1,00t
square miles would be needed
for urban uses. The remaindel
of nonurbaniZed land would bt
devoted to recreational, farm
ing and other open space uses
Several means are proposed
to assure that the open space
buffer zones will be retained
These are among the sugges
tionS:
Sewer and water service
should be built only in the ur
ban areas.
| Highway construction shoult
be concentrated in urban area
so that new road facilities vii
not stimulate urbanization il
rural sections.
Large parks should be scat
tered along the edges of tn
corridors to help separate tn
rural and urban sectors.
New ZOnings
{ New zoning patterns SHOULD
be established. One new Zon
would be a natural resourc
zone tc encourage farming
numbering, quarrying. mining o
sand and gravel and recrea
tional uses. AS part of thi
plan, the report recommend
establishment of a Natural Re
source Development Board.
New large lot residentis
zones should be adopted in bot
counties with lots rangin
above the present 2-acre trac
size.
A new higher density apart
ment zone is needed in boil
counties to be located withil

sit lines.
