The April 22 action placed
strict limitations on the state
agency, including profit-
sharing of turnpike reve-
nues, no cross-pledging of
funds and limits on bow long
the state would have to sell
city turnpike bonds.
Another limit proposed by
the city council was that the
toll road would revert to the
city after 40 years.
Semtner said it is highly
unlikely that he ever will
confer with state attorneys.
“From the newspaper sto-
ries about the action they
(the state) took it looks as
though they are about
through with a city road,”
Semtner said.
Bartlett ordered the au-
thority to halt studies after
the city council took its final
action.
An agency attorney said at
the time that the city’s move
killed any chances for a
state turnpike, because of all
the restrictions.

Foes Ask for Records
WASHINGTON (AP) - A
leader of congressional oppo-
sition to the planned cutback
of Job Corps sites has called
•n the Nixon administration
to release all records of the
centers—good and bad—and
to fight clean.
“I’m ready to wage a non-
partisan, clean battle and I
trust the administration will
do the same,” said Sen. Alan
Cranston (D-Calif.).
His comment followed dis-

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP)?-
Republican governors have
served notice on the Nixon
narcotics use and extortion
at Job Corps sites available
as trump cards in the cut-
back dispute.
Cranston, who Introduced
a Senate resolution asking
President Nixon to postpone
closing the 57 centers, said
congress has had difficulty
getting records.
But he said disclosure of
the documents did not un-
cover anything new to those
familiar with the Job Corps.
“These kids are not angels
and no one expects them to
be,” he said. “We recognize
grams in their states.

Administration officials
denied that investigators’ re-
ports were used to decide
which centers to dose. They
said that judgment was
made using a system based
on a center’s achievement
rate, job placement record
and dropout rate.
’Underlying Causes*
Officials said the reports
reflect conditions which
could be the underlying
cause for poor achievement
at the centers. •
The files pinpoint such
troubles as narcotics use at
Kilmer Center for men at
Edison, N.J.: homosexuality
at Poland Spring women’s
center near Lewiston,
Maine; and racial fights at
Parks men’s center at Pleas-
anton, Calif.
Stamped “Administra-
tively Confidential,” the pa-
pers are summaries of case
studies prepared by investi-
gators from the Office of
Economic Opportunity.
A spokesman for the
OEO’s inspection team said
he was dismayed the reports
had been leaked. “If anyone
has revealed those docu-
ments for political purposes
I would consider it highly
unethical,’’ he said.
‘Best Interest’
One report said homosexu-
ality at the Poland Spring
women’s center had been so
persistent “that the termina-
tion of the center is in the
best interest of the govern-
ment and the enrollees.”
“The homosexuality prob-
lem is accentuated by the
orientation weaknesses be-
cause there is active recruit-
ment of new partners by ex-
isting enrollees by persua-
sion or force, implied or ac-
tive,” the report said.
The director of the center,
Robert G. Lake, denied
there was a serious problem
; with homosexuality while
> testifying earlier this week
before a house subcommit-
tee. "Our problem has been
with rumors,” he said, “not
with an instance of homosex-
uality.”
‘Drugs Rampant’
A report on the Kilmer
men’s center quoted a physi-
cian there as saying "nar-
cotics are rampant.”
"In the first six months of
1968 a total of 22 cases in-
volving narcotics were in-
vestigated by security,” it
said. “During the same peri-
od of 1966 there were 1(
cases involving narcotics.”
