O'Haire Attacks Poulos Liberal indorsement
George O'Haire, Deputy Supervisor
of the Town of Oyster Bay,
and Democrat- Conservative candidate
for District Court Judge
this past week argued in the State
Supreme Court that his Republican
opponent, Edward Poulos
should be denied Liberal Party
backing because he was designated
improperly. Judge Edwin
Lynde reserved decision.
Eugene McMahon, O'Haire's
attorney, and a resident of Mas-sapequa,
argued that Poulos
should not have the designation
that the line should be blank in
as much as E. Meyers, the original
candidate of the Liberal
Party declined the designation

Save Taxpayers $ $
and accepted another Liberal
Party designation for Nassau
County Court Judge. Meyers had
also previously declined nomination
for State Senator. O'Haire
contends that this made his r e versal
' invalid.'
C. Bruce Pearsall of Massa-pequa,
who was representing
Poulos said that a previous court
decision on a similar matter had
ruled that a Party had the right
to fill a vacancy.
A decision is expected momentarily.
Accident Injuries Must
Be Reported
Nassau Police Commissioner
Francis B. Looney reminded the
driving public of their obligation
under Section 600 of the New
York State Vehicle and Traffic
Law to make report to police
on all motor accidents which r e sult
in personal injury.
He also reminded drivers that
the Motor Vehicle Bureau must
be notified within ten days when
someone is injured or killed, or
when property damage exceeds
$ 150. Forms for reporting are
available at any police station or
Motor Vehicle Bureau office.
Accidents which do not involve
personal injury or death, and
which do not cause damage to the
property of any one person in excess
of $ 150 need not be reported
to the Motor Vehicle Bureau or
to a police agency.
Nassau Police Commissioner
Francis B. Looney, and Judge B.
Thomas Pantano, President of
the Board of Judges of District
Court, finalized plans for putting
into operation the new Verification
of Information procedure
which is expected to save more
than $ 100,000 a year in police
salaries, and 25,000 police- man
hours which is usually devoted
in misdemeanor arrests arraignment
processing.
The new Verification law was
passed by the State legislature
during the last session. Since
it became effective in June, a
pilot program has been operating
to develop a workable procedure
to implement the law.
Arresting officers under the
new law will no longer be r e quired
to appear in court for the
purpose of swearing to the Information
in non- felony arrest
cases. Now, the lieutenant, OT
desk officer in the precinct
( sergeant or higher rank), is
authorized to administer all
necessary oaths in connection
with the execution of the complaint.
The new Verification of Complaint
system will be in full
operation in Nassau's eight police
precincts on November 1.
Poll Library Patrons
Patrons of the Plainedge Public
Library are being polled to
determine their preference in
programs to be offered during
the coming months in the library's
new community meeting
room.
A questionnaire, detailing six
different types of programs
geared to adult, young adult and
juvenile audiences, is being sent
this week to 500 families who
had requested that they be placed
on the library's program mailing
list.
The recipients are being asked
to indicate which of the suggested
programs they would
favor.
Program choices range from
film showings of classics to lecture
- discussions. Non - credit
university level courses and how-to-
do- it sessions are also proposed
as adult attractions.
The young adults are asked
to indicate a preference for films
on sports, performing personalities
or " an off- beat look at
life".
When results of the poll have
been tabulated, the library will
begin to shape up a series of
programs for the Plainedge community
and scheduled to begin
after the first of the year.
