THE JOURNAL-NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVt.V.P.FB 22, 1974 3B Repair shops alerted on hit-and-run car POLICE BEAT He was charged with forcing Miss Gerlach at knife-point to accompany him to a secluded Piermont area where he covered her with leaves before attempting to flee. The nude bodies of Lorraine Marie Kelly and Mary Ann Pryor, both of North Bergen, were found in woods near a Montvale paking lot. Police there said they believe that both girls died from suffocation. Miss Thomas, a Nanuet High School sophomore was found on Oct. 8 in woods behind the Nanuet Mall.

She had been beaten about the head with a blunt object, according to Rockland medical examiner Dr. Frederick Zugibe. Police are still investigating Miss Thomas' murder, Meehan said. Crash douses lights The lights went out for 1,560 Orange and Rockland Utilities customers early today when a single car accident split a utility pole in half in Pomona, cutting power to the area. The accident occured at 1:43 a.m.

at Route 202 and Lime Kiln Road, when the operator of the vehicle fell asleep at the wheel and struck the utility pole, Ramapo police said. The driver and passenger were taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, Suf-fern, for treatment of minor injuries. The broken utility pole left the customers without power for 55 minutes and repair crews worked throughout the night to restore power to the Pomona and Mt. Ivy areas, according to an spokesman. At 8:30 a.m.

the repairs were nearly completed, but about 100 utility customers were still without power. Cornelius Walsh, 20, of Pomona, was driving east on Route 202 when the accident occured, police Walsh and a passenger, Douglas Kane, 18, no address given were taken to the hospital. No charges were filed. Police have alerted auto repair shops throughout Rockland to be on the lookout for a damaged light-colored vehicle that could have caused the West Nyack hit and run death of Mrs. Isabella Del Vec-chio.

Rockland County medical examiner Dr. Frederick Zugibe ruled the case vehicular homicide Thursday and said that Mrs. Del Vecchio died of multiple injuries. A Clarkstown police spokesman said that Bergen County, N.J. repair shops are also being checked to learn if the person who struck Mrs.

Del Vecchio, 26, of the Bronx, may have taken the car across state lines for repairs. Police believe that the vehicle sustained heavy front end damage. Some cars owned by Rockland residents have already been inspected and cleared, police said. Following his autopsy, Zugibe would not rule out a possibility that the Bronx woman may have been struck by a truck or a car with a high bumper. Police said that Mrs.

Del Vecchio was struck Wednesday at about 7:35 p.m. after she stepped from a bus and attempted to walk across Route 303. "She was broken from her head to her feet," Zugibe said following his autopsy. The county medical examiner said that the point of initial impact came at the left hip. He said that the leg bone had been severely broken at the hip joint.

Zugibe said that Mrs. Del Vecchio had been struck from the rear or while partly turned. The Bronx woman was found face-up underneath a taxi cab, one of at least three vehicles that struck her. Evidence shows that she was struck by more than one car, though, Zugibe said. The hit and run victim had been dragged for several hundred feet.

Paint marks were not found on her body, though, Zugibe said. Difficulty, in producing eye witnesses was attributed in part by police to the drizzle that fell on the night she was struck. All Mrs. Del Vecchio's body organs had been ruptured, Zugibe said. Her head had been t.

and her entire spinal column fractured. She had been wearing high leather boots when struck and the blow's force pulled one of the boots from her leg, he added. "We have no good eye witnesses," a Clarkstown detective said Thursday. He said that the dead woman's tentative identification has been confirmed. PBA officers reelected The Orangetown Police Benevolent Association has re-elected its entire slate of officers to a second one-year term.

In what a PBA spokesman called "a tremendous vote of confidence," the Association re-elected president Ray Liberati, vice president John Berchielli, secretary-treasurer Terry Hutmacher and Sergeant-at-arms Raymond Lundy. s- Also returned was the town PBA board of direc- tors. The board is comprised of James Greco, Leon Taveniere and Roger Bresnahan. Budget talk planned Rockland sheriff Raymond A. Lindemann said Thursday he will meet with the county legislature's Budget and Finance Committee on Nov.

27 to explain his budget requests for the Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCD. Lindemann said he would refrain from making comments about the 1975 BCI budget of $295,053 until that time. According to budget figures released by the county legislature, the BCI budget request has been tentatively cut by $42,902, to $252,151. The Bureau, in its new quarters south of the county court house, must show legislators why it requires $3,000 for investigative expenses and $500 for law enforcement supplies. Recommendations contained in the tentative budget for next year show no funds available for the items.

The BCI budget in 1973 was $255,013. The following year's budget was $273,163, according to county figures. The entire county budget will be aired during a Dec. 12 public hearing in the legislative chambers at New City. It will be presented to the full legislature on Dec.
