The proposed New York State
Constitution constitutes "the
rape of the suburbs", Supervisor
Sol Wachtler, Republican candi-date
for County Executive
charged today.
He said he will campaign a>
gainst passage of the document.
"It does not take into consider-ation,
even renlotely, that Nas-sau
County has the highest per
capita property tax of any major
metropolitan area in the United
States."
Specifically, Wjiphtler charged:
—"The proposed school aid
formula will siphon money away
ft-om Nassau Schools;
—"Hie proposed State take
over of the Welfare program Is
nothing more than a hidden com-muter
tax;
— "Stripping the people of
their right to vote on bond issues
paves the way for runaway spend-ing.
—"Disemboweling our local sys-tem
of representation on the
County Board of Supervisors her-alds
the beginning of the end of
the suburbs as we know them to-day."
Wachtler asserted, "The pro-posed
Constitution is a cynical
political document. Mr. Ttavia
and the sheeplike Democratic
majority have devised a way of
buying City votes with suburban
tax dollars.
"I also am appalled at Mr. Tra-via's
repeated assertions that e-nough
'goodies' exist to buy off
special Interests in this State'.'

Singer at M.H.S.
Local audiences are assured of
a memorable evening when Clar-amae
Turner, the glamourous
blonde contralto, gives a concert
at Malveme High School, on Oc-tober
9, 1967 at 8:30 p.m. as
the first concert of the Inter-
Community Music Association
series. Miss Turner is acclaimed
as one of our most exciting and
versatile singers. Critics and
audiences have cheered here per-formances
at the Metropolitan
Opera House, the San Francisco
C ^ r a , and in concert with such
famous conductors as Toscanini
and Bruno Walter. Miss Turner
has also appeared as Nettie in the
film version of "Carousel," and
on television, on "Omnibus," in
Menotti's "Medium," the famous
role that she created; on the
Ed Sullivan Show, and other pro-grams.
In musical comedy, she
has enacted the seductive Coun-tess
in "Song of Norway," and
she recently scored a sensational
success at the New York City
Center, singing all three leading
contralto roles in Fuccini's "n
Trittico" — the first time this
has been done by one singer in
a single evening. Lovely, blonde
Miss Turner was born and
brought up in California, and is
wholly American-trained. Her
varied and fascinating concert
programs not only reflect the
tastes of her native land, but in-clude
a tasteful selection of the
world's finest art songs.

AN ANGRY WACHTLER. When charged last week with issuing
a campaign brochure that contained misleading picture, Supervi-sore
Sol Wachtler, the Republican candidate for County Execu-tive,
responded by dlsplaytag past Democratic brochures which,
he said, "are replete with examples of distortion, doctored pho-tographs,
deception and twisted truths. The County Executive's
wounded pose is itself a deceiving picture."
