Jan. 8, 1972 PRESS, Binghamton, N. Y. 3 Mrs. Cook: Realty Tax to Stay "wife, Speaking to Educators Per pupil aid allowances then would be adjusted upward and downward with special-consideration given to school districts in critical need of academic upgrading.

Referring to recent Supreme Court decisions that are going to force the changes in aid disbursement, Mrs. Cook said, "What we are going to have to ON THE BASIS of the emergency session of the Legis-ture, Mrs. Cook said, she believes public education fared better than she had expected. This, sne said, is a result of legislators having amended Gov. Nelson A.

Rockefeller's original plan for reducing the state's staggering deficit. While January and Febru-' ary state aid allotments will do is divorce the quality of education from the wealth of the individual communities." While recognizing the burden of the real property tax, Mrs: Cook said she does not see any better options. The income tax already punishes the middle income group and the middle income group and, worst of all, the greatest handicap on the poor. i 'vyy ft Sally VanDerKar Loses Long Battle With Blness By DAVE ROSSIE CORTLAND New Yorkers who expect the Fleischmann Commission to free them of the burden of the real property tax as a means of financing public education are deluding themselves. That was the warning offered here yesterday by Mrs.

Constance E. Cook, an Ithaca Republican and chairman of the State Assembly's Education Committee. Her district includes Tioga County. The Fleischmann Commission, of which Mrs. Cook is a member, has been studying the cost and quality of tion in New York State.

Its report, expected within the next two months, will reportedly recommend a revised method of educational financing. DESPITE some commission members' hopes to the contrary, the real property tax will probably remain the principal source of school revenues for some time to come, Mrs. Cook said. Speaking to a luncheon group of school administrators at the State University College here, Mrs. Cook said only the collection and disbursement system is likely to change, with the state setting a uniform rate of taxation.

Sally VanDerKar, who as a 16-year-old high school student contracted polio in 1952 but who fought her way out of critical condition and an iron lung, died last night following a brief illness. Miss VanDerKar, of 8 Edge-wood Road, Binghamton, died at the Chenango Bridge Nursing Home. She was 35. Miss VanDerKar was in critical condition for several weeks after she was stricken in November, 1952. After almost two years, much of it spent at the University of Buffalo Chronic Disease Research Center, she worked from total paralysis to regain partial use of her arms.

She returned home to take up painting, for both fun and profit, and worked on committees of the Junior League and as a volunteer for a variety of civic and service groups. For three years she worked on the annual March of Dimes still be withheld until after April 1, school districts forced to borrow will be able to recover interest on those loans from the state. And whereas the governor wanted to freeze aid to education at this year's dollar amount, the Legislature succeeded in keeping formula increases intact. "WHETHER YOU TAKE the governor's figure of $750 million or the Ways and Means Committee's figure of $900 million, the total would have reached $1.5 billion by the end of March if spending had continued the way it was," Mrs. Cook said.

She remains dubious about reducing the deficit, Mrs. Cook said, because the governor has written $400 million into his projected $7.9 billion budget that he does not have. This, she said, is money he is counting on getting from a federal revenue sharing program that has not yet been approved by Congress and may not be. Referring to the brief, year-end session of the Legislature, Mrs. Cook said, "I've never seen anything like it: passing taxes before you even adopt a budget." Sent to Jail, He Breaks For Freedom A 26-year-old Binghamton man was in Broome County Jail in lieu of $500 bail today after he ran from City Court following his arraignment on a Family Court warrant.

Michael Nealon, of 9 Milford was arrested on a Family Court warrant alleging his failure to pay court-ordered support payments. Special City Court Judge Matthew J. Vitanza committed Nealon to jail in lieu of S500 bail to await Family Court action next week. Following his arraignment, he walked into the corridor outside City Court on some pretext, then ran down five flights of stairs and into the street, with Patrolman Kevin Egan in pursuit. Egan said he called for Nealon to stop and that the man ran around City Hall and across State Street.

Nealon was apprehended in front of the Bache Co. building in Hawley St. by Egan and motor Patrolman James F. O'Connell. -A .1 fV -5'? ns iNT iV Nf ik PRESS PHOTOS BY LEO GRIFFEN.

Kirkwood State Police identified the man as Robert C. Headley, of Stenson Road, Conklin. His son, Robert was with him in the car when the accident occurred late this morning. Trooper Jon S. Bowman said Headley was driving his 1964 Pontiac sedan and was crossing a double set of railroad tracks at the Webb crossing, near the town dump.

The crossing is marked only by a railroad tie stuck vertically in the ground, troopers said. Headley told Bowman he was leaving the dump and heard the train whistle as his car drove onto the tracks. Headley stopped the car and attempted to back out of the trains path. The engine of the Erie-Lackawanna freight train struck the left front of the car, ripping the front end away at the fire wall, Bowman said. The impact spun the car around and it came to a rest just off the roadway.

The train's engineer, Robert Kellogg, 52, of Scranton, told troopers he had time to sound the train's whistle once before striking the car. The engine continued a quarter-mile past the point of impact, troopers said. The train was traveling at' 40 miles per hour en route from Hornell to Scranton, Kellogg reported.

Crawford, who said today there is no firm evidence that New York State can count on $407 million in federal-revenue sharing before April 1, 1973. "Legislation for federal revenue sharing has not come out of either the House of Representatives or the Senate," the county executive With a federal revenue-sharing program, which Gov.

Nelson A. Rockefeller hopes will wipe out about 27 per cent of a $1.5 billion budget gap by April 1, 1973, "there is only one place they can make it up, by cutting local aid again," Crawford said. Crawford said these cuts, if they come, would have to be made during the state's 1972-73 fiscal year, beginning next April 1. "We have been told," he said, "that the state intends to provide at least the same categorical aid dollars, not percentages of aid, in 1972-73 that it did in 1971-72," said Crawford. "We think we can get through 1972, but without federal revenue sharing we would have to lay off county employes next year and find new sources of revenue." One possible cut, he said, would be the elimination of the county blood bank -and its $170,000 annual budget, $70,000 of which the county hopes to recoup in blood processing charges, and.

turning over blood recruiting and distribution to the four "general hospitals. Crawford said the legislative policy, authored by Norman Shadduck, R-12th District, chairman of the Employes committee, of trying to eliminate 5 per cent of county jobs by not filling retirement and other vacancies might not go far enough. "In the absence of that $407.
