THE JOURNAL-NEWS, THURSDAY, MARCH 1 1, 1976 3B Proposed parkway police takeover criticized next month. According to officials familiar1 with the study, one of the primary considerations is saving money. Grant was skeptical about that assertion. "The state police budget is supposed to be reduced and yet the state is proposing that it add aa manpower. 1 cannot see how money would be saved," he said.

Although the proposal calls for qualified parkway police to become troopers, Grant said that promise was "a fallacy." "I don't know how many men who have been on the state police organization. If the full legislature takes the same position Tuesday night, the recommendation will be forwarded to state officials. "The state is not talking about a merger, but about the abolition of the parkway police," said committee chairman John Grant (D-Haverstraw). ''Not only would costs rise, but we would not get the service we are getting now." A task force of representatives of five state agencies has been studying the proposal since last fall. Its recommendations are expected By MYRA DEMBROW Staff Writer The Palisades Interstate Park police responsible for its New York section will remain independent, if the recommendation of a county legislative committee is followed.

In other business Wednesday, the budget and finance committee indirectly endorsed a proposed set of minimum standards for county jails. The budget and finance committee unanimously opposed a state plan to merge the parkway police with the tmmkmmmmmmmmmsm Clarkstown. Although the committee backed Grant on the police issue, it rebuffed him on his evaluation of the proposed jail standards. They would require jails to permit inmates to have direct contact with visitors instead of being separated from them by bars, screens, or windows; prohibit jailers from reading prisoners' mail; and guarantee them access to the media while protecting them from reprisals for criticizing jail conditions. The state Sheriff's Association and at least one county are urging the state to Mrflf kl V.Jiff mm 6 jailed in drug force for years would qualify for a trooper's job," he said.

Grant also stressed that the parkway police have been "very cooperative" with local departments and doubted that the state would continue that relationship. Hezekiah Easter (R-Orangetown) added that independence was important because "a good part of Rockland is involved." The park covers nearly one-third of the county, and spans its entire western border. It also has smaller segments in Orangetown and TTT' if. if I 1 POLICE BEAT He identified the others charged with felony drug possession as Wendell Hill, 19, of 130 Eckerson Road.

Grant proposed that Rockland do the same but the committee rejected that suggestion, 5-2. Only Philip Rotella (D-Haverstraw) agreed with the chairman.

"Many of these rules are already the practice in state penitentiaries such as Green Haven, which houses really serious felons," said Joel Scheinert (D-Ramapo). The legislature's advisory committee on criminal justice reviewed the proposal Monday night and found them to be "beneficial and worthy of approval," he said. 8 -r .2 If Staff photo Art Sarno 369.95 jornc 439.95 Oo.O COO OC J77.7 Meehan: Burglar alarm measure not dead yet arrests youth who could not be men-t i i because his age makes him eligible for youthful offender treatment.

Grant said the liberalized visitation and mail rules could allow contraband into jails and could therefore pose a danger to employes. Scheinert said that the proposals guard against that. Not only would visits be kept under surveillance, but inmates would be searched before and after they saw their families. All packages brought into the visiting area would be searched as well. Jailers would still be able to look for contraband in mail.

They would merely not be allowed to read the correspondence, he said. Ramapo applies for aid Constructing more sewers in the Town of Ramapo may not be as far off as Supervisor Morton Baron thought a few months ago. Following a change in federal regulations that has broadened the use of funds for local governments, the town board voted Wednesday night to apply to the state Department of Environmental Conservation for federal aid for Ramapo's sewer projects. Baron had said in January that large-scale capital improvement projects would not be undertaken until the financial climate improved. The town has already borrowed $15 million tor the construction of about 175 miles of sewers.

An estimated $10 million is needed to complete the proiect.
