Armed Robbers Hit Main St. Store
Two of the three persons who
held up a Farmingdale clothing
store at gunpoint in broad
daylight and the third is known
and being sought, thanks to an
alert school crossing guard.
According to police two men
and a woman * entered J& L
Fashions 252 Main St., at 3: 30
p. m. Friday and forced the store
clerk and two customers into the
back room at gunpoint. They then
took three ladies coats valued at
$ 200 and $ 330 from the cash
register and fled in a 1973 Mazda
station wagon.
The school crossing guard,
Marie Lawless, who was on duty
at the corner of Main and Conklin
Streets, became suspicious when
she saw the alleged bandits
putting the coats in the car. She
took down the car's license plate
number and notified police.
A check of the plate number
revealed the car belong to a Mrs.
Lorraine Johnson, 27, of 3333
Great Neck Road, North
Amityville.
Detective Lt. William Beach
and Detectives Sol Goodman and
Howard Waszmar of the 8th
precinct arrested Mrs. Johnson
outside her home.
An hour later, police reported,
Mrs. Johnson's brother Daniel
Simmons, 25, of the same ad­dress,
arrived at the house
driving the station wagon. The
third suspect, believed . to be
another brother, is still being
sought.
Roncallo Friends

Roncallo will host a breakfast in
honor of the third district
Congressman this Sunday, Nov. 3

Bethpage with Ray Heatherton,
the distinguished " Merry
Mailman" of radio and television
fame, as toastmaster.
The special salute to
Congressman Angelo Koncallo
comes just two days before the
election and addition to having
Heatherton as< master of
ceremonies, a distinguished
member of the Italian Em-bassadorial
staff will be on hand
to pay his respects.
Mayor John T. Hallahan is
serving as honorary chairman of
the event and Frank J. Hynes,
Farmingdale leader, as
executive chairman.
Tickets may be obtained by
calling 293- 7722 in advance or
purchased at the door Sunday
morning.
Governor, the Post favors the
Wilson- Caso ticket over
Democrats Carey and Krupsak.
We feel that our own County
Executive Ralph Caso in the Lt.
Governor's chair will give
Nassau the strongest voice.
Democrat Arthur Levitt is the
Post's choice for State Comp­troller.
He has done the job well
in past years and it is good to
have a member of the loyal op­position
in the " watchdog" post.
Louis Lefkowitz has served the
state well as Attorney General
and should be retained in his bid
for re- election on the Republican
ticket.
The Post withholds any en­dorsement
of any candidate for
judge, since we feel that judges
should not be forced to seek office
on the public ballot. Judges
should be appointed by the
Governor after being selected
and screened by a committee of
qualified peers.
In the race for U. S. Senator we
don't think anyone can beat the
liberal Republican Jacob Javits.

Ralph Nader Coming
To Farmingdale U.
Ralph Nader, the nation's
number one consumer advocate,
will speak in Roosevelt Hall's
Little Theater on the campus of
the State University at Far­mingdale
on Thursday,
November7 at 11 am. Nader, who
achieved national prominence in
1965 when his book about the
automotive industry called,
" Unsafe at Any Speed" helped to
point out the dangers for con­sumers
of the American
automobiles. Nader's continuing
work in automobile safety was, in
a large part, responsible for the
passage, in 1966, of the Motor
Vehicle Safety Act and demise of
the Corvair in 1969.
In 1968, Nader established the
Center for Study of Responsive
Law, and set a group of young
professionals - who were
promptly dubbed " Nader %
Raiders" • to work researching
public- interest issues ranging
from air and water pollution, to
soil and food contamination, to
abuses of health and safety, to
corporate monopolies. Nursing
homes, the Food and Drug Ad­ministration,
California, and the
Antitrust Division of the Justice
Department are only a few of the
subjects which have become task
force reports and then converted
into book form for the general
reading public. '
In November of 1971, Ralph
Nader announced what has come
to be known as his " big - best
raid," the massive, one thousand
man citizens' investigation of
Congress in covering many of the
laws that have become infamous
headlines in the past few months.
