Bus driver is faulted in accident MONROE A school bus accident that left 36 children injured was apparently caused when a driver lost control of his vehicle after glancing for a moment in his rear view mirror, state police investigators said Wednesday. All but two of the 38 kindergarteners and first-graders on board suffered injuries ranging from severe head trauma to scrapes and bruises in Tuesday afternoon's crash. Six of the students remained hospitalized Wednesday with what state police said were serious State Trooper Robert Gillespie said investigators believe the bus got into the soft, muddy shoulder of Orange County Route 19 in the town of Monroe while its driver, Andrew Callahan, 63, was looking in his rear view mirror. From there, the driver was unable to wrestle the vehicle back onto the pavement, Gillespiesaid.

Most of the bus' roof was sheared off when the vehicle slammed into two trees in the ditch. Callahan suffered head injuries in the crash and was listed in fair condition at Arden HIll Hospital in Goshen Wednesday "At this time it doesn't appear that any criminal statutes have been violated," Gillespie said. Gillespie said it was not clear from information he'd received from investigators whether Callahan was glancing through the rear view window at traffic behind him on Route 19 or at children in the bus. Cliff Berchtold, Monroe Woodbury School District transportation director, said Callahan is a 23-year veteran of the district's routes and has a good record, with DO accidents. According to the state Department of Motor Vehicles, Callahan has a clean personal driving record as well.

Ulster lawmakers wary of future tax increases KINGSTON Ulster taxpayers are angry over a 42 percent hike in their county property taxes. And lawmakers know it. On Wednesday night, the Ulster County Legislature Ways and Means Committee took the first step in redeeming their embarrassed pledge to those taxpayers in December: "Never again." The committee members Wednesday declared war on "budget creep," the almost unnoticed upward tick of county spending that outpaced the approved $130 million 1989 budget by $8 million over the course of the year. They also served notice to officials that when it comes to preparing the 1991 budget, they will be given an acceptable total early on and will be expected to stay within that ceiling. In order to avoid budget creep this year and in the future, the committee agreed with its chairman, Daniel L.

Alfonso, R-Highland, that it will expect a monthly report from County Administrator William Darwak's staff on where the budget stands and why. "We've got to 'Hink things out before we act," Alfonso said. He pointed out that a few years ago, when they had a hefty surplus, it took money from its contingency accounts for large spending projects like bridge repairs, rather than borrow money on long-term bonding 'programs. "At the time, we thought we were saving money and we were," he said. But the result has been the upward creep in the budget and the draining of the surplus.

Legislature Chairman Richard B. Mathews, R-Kingston, said he has proposed to the state Association of Counties that it push for a state pilot program which would allow counties to try to save money in state-mandated programs by designing workable efficiencies. The biggest deficiency, he said, would be to allow the counties to decide their own staff member-client ratios without having them dictated by the state. He cited the example of a new dormitory for minimum security prisoners at the overcrowded Ulster County Jail. The state would not allow the much-needed facility to be used, until nine new guards were hired to staff it about double the number the county felt was necessary.

The state also dictates client-staff ratios in the handling of social services cases and in other areas, he said. Members of the committee agreed with Mathews' position and suggested he not stop with NYSAC but bring it directly to Gov. Mario Cuomo. Legislator Philip Sinagra, R-Hurley, suggested that the lawmakers take that concept a step further. He called for a legislative committee to be assigned the job of evaluating all state mandates such as clientstaff ratios.The idea would be to determine if they are necessary and.if not, what can be done about it.

He offered his own Intergovernmental Relations Committee as the agency to do the job and the Ways and Means Committee agreed. The committee also agreed to a suggestion by Majority Leader Gerald Benjamin, R-New Paltz, to establish a target dollar figure for the 1991 budget before work begins on that budget in June. He stressed that all departments should be notified of that dollar figure and that department heads and legislature committee chairman should be called in to discuss how to meet those objectives. Alfonso said that the same should apply toward the amount to be raised by taxes. "We should decide early -that if we had to raise $17.8 million in property taxes this year, next year we won't allow the figure to get any higher than $17.9 million, for Other actions the county will take include: Conducting a historical analysis of all county programs and the level of state or federal reimbursement they initially received and being received now to determine to what degree the financial burden is shifting to county government.

Explore the possibility of "privatizing some services such as the Ulster County Infirmary. Under the proposal, the county would own the facility but turn it over to a private corporation to operate. I Consider a hotel-motel bed tax as Dutchess County now uses. Take a hard look at funding of outside agencies Lawmakers provide what has been termed "pork barrel funding" to selected non-governmental groups to the tune of over $1 million annually. Consider charging fees for some services now given free.

Some of the services provided by Cooperative Extension is one area that will be looked into. Consultants team to study Wassaic housing proposal By DAVE L'HEUREUX Journal staff WASSAIC A team of consultants will study whether mixed-income housing should, and could, be built on 78 acres of vacant land owned by the Wassaic Developmental Disabilities Center, The team, headed by architects from David Smotrich and Partners of Manhattan, will issue its report for public comment by April. The study is part of an overall plan to build mixed-income housing on unused state-owned land. Proponents of the Wassaic study say this could ease the shortage of homes and apartments in eastern Dutchess County. "Too many families in rural Dutchess county are living in substandard housing, or are paying too high portion of their income for housing," said Susan Denton, executive director of the Rural Preservation Co.

of Dutchess County. "If the study shows that housing development at Wassaic is feasible, we hope to create new housing opportunities for local people of varied incomes and ages in a neighborhood compatible with the rural character of the Harlem Valley." The project is being backed by a coalition of state and not-for-profit agencies. Taking part will be the Rural Preservation the state Division of Housing and Community Renewal, the state Office of Mental Retardation and Development Disabilities, Dutchess County, the Town of Amenia, and the Dover Union Free School District. "The study and plan are fully expected to be sensitive to the needs of the town and school said Amenia Councilman Bob Cook. "We hope there will be local support for a project that would bring in needed housing and jobs for residents of our area." The companies hired were David Smotrich and Partners, S.

Huffman Associates, Laventhol and Horwath, Lehr Associates, and V.J. Associates. Their study will cost about $100,000, and will be paid by the Division of Housing and a federal Community Block Grant awarded to the Town of Amenia. In late 1988, Gov. Mario Cuomo ordered state agencies to support plans for mixed-income housing on vacant state-owned lands.

The order came from the recommendations of a state task force that had examined the housing crisis throughout New York state. In keeping with those recommendations, Hudson River Housing Inc. a not-for-profit housing agency based in Poughkeepsie, already has received $2.3 million in state and federal funds to create affordable housing units on lands owned by the Hudson River Psychiatric Center in the Town of Poughkeepsie. County settles with abortion foe Continued from Page 1C that a county official asked a top IBM executive whether he, as an IBM employee, was speaking for the company in opposing elective abortions. The inquiry was in the form of a letter written by Folami Gray, the county Youth Bureau director, to then IBM Vice President Gerald Prothro.

Prothro had replied that Sedlak spoke for himself on his own time. The matter apparently went no further until the letter came to the attention of first Sedlak and, later, the county Legislature; in late 1988. Pattison's letter, dated Jan. 23, said the settlement was the best way to avoid a more-expensive concession. It (the settlement) is given, nev- Racial vandalism mars black history observance By GRACE HOBSON Journal staff An act of racial vandalism last week marked the start of AfricanAmerican History Month observances at Dutchess Community College.

During a showing of black filmmaker Spike Lee's "Do the Right a layout sheet at the college's student newspaper, the Dutchess Chronicle, was defaced with racial slurs, Town of Poughkeepsie police said. The incident was discovered about 9:30 p.m. Friday, but was not reported to police until Monday, police said. The movie was shown as part of a film series celebrating the month. An unidentified person or persons broke into the newspaper's locked office, located downstairs from the theater where the controversial movie was shown, said college spokeswoman Kathleen Flood.

Police confirmed the report. The slurs were of a racial and religious nature and not directed at any ertheless, in the hope that it will create an atmosphere that will permit the exchange of differences in thought and philosophies, however much they may the letter said in part.

Winterbotham dies But his most important work was with "Enigma," the top-secret German code system that the British had managed to penetrate. Winterbotham's job was to get the information from Enigma, or "Ultra intelligence" as it was known, to commanders in the field without revealing to the Germans their code had been cracked. He worked out a system that was successful throughout the war, and did not become public knowledge until the 1970s. His work made him a confidant of wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill. But he remained an unsung war hero, because the cracking of Enigma was considered so secret it was not revealed for 30 years after the war, when Winterbotham published "The Ultra Sell it for MOREI Mighty 454-9002 one group, police said.

The word "nigger," a swastika, a Star of David and the numbers 666 were drawn on the sheet, police said. The incident was isolated, Flood and police said: No other such incidents have been reported, they said. "There is no indication of any other racial tension on Flood said. "We have never had apy kinds of problems like that; we've always enjoyed racial harmony here. Dutchess Community College's student population is 13 percent minority, Flood said.

Dorrel Christie, editor-in-chief of the Dutchess Chronicle, agreed that the incident was not representative of campus race relations. "Racism has never been an outright problem, which this (incident) makes it seem," Christie said. Flood and Christie said they didn't think the movie's content sparked the vandalism. The movie is about race relations in the Bedford-Stuyve sant section of Brooklyn. The movie ends with a race riot, and many critles predicted similar riots would break out in response to the movie.
