Vestal By RACHEL JANUTIS Staff Writer Delaware County UndersherifF Osmond Steele was slain in the line of duty in 1845, but he will be remembered today. Steele's name is the oldest of 888 on the state Police Officers Memorial.

Gov. Mario M. Cuomo will dedicate the monument at 1 1 a.m. at the Empire State Plaza in Albany, said John F. Hudacs, commissioner of the state Office of General Services.

Steele was killed Aug. 7, 1845, by a band of disguised men during the anti-rent wars, Hudacs said. In the 1800s, the sheriffs depart' ment was responsible for collecting unpaid rent, said Delaware County Undersheriff L.J. Rutherford. Steele was trying to put down a revolt by renters when he was shot.

The monument honors Steele and other police slain in the line of duty. Each year, new names will be added to the memorial, Hudacs said. "It will be a living memorial that will also be contributing to the memory of those who died in the line of duty," he said. The memorial, a fountain and pool in front of a black granite wall engraved with the names, calls attention to the danger police face, he said. "It focuses people in on the absolute and total commitment and sacrifice that police officers make each and every day," he said.

Construction began in March, Hudacs said. The Legislature appropriated $100,000 from the state Criminal Justice Improvement Fund for the monument, and the Office of General Services made up a 1 60,000 balance.

"Do they really think that after having won the right to use public accommodations that anyone is going to give it back?" Span said the group is pushing a more realistic approach to civil rights. He said whites are comfortable working next to blacks, but resent sitting next to them in restaurants and seeing them move into white neighborhoods. By agreeing to ease civil rights law in these areas, blacks hope to gain fortified employment and education laws and to relieve racial tension, he said. It could be that discrimination in housing and public accommodations will not thrive once antidiscrimination laws are removed, he said.

But if blacks are turned away from quality housing, they will be forced to stay in black communities and serve as role models, he said. They may also be forced to open their own restaurants and hotels, spurring black economic development and self-reliance, he said. Williams said the group's plan goes "back to a pattern of discrimination" the NAACP rejects. "The NAACP is committed to an integrated society," he said. demy Street The next highest award after the gold key was the blue ribbon.

The Rev. Derrick L. Span, pastor at Chenango Street United Methodist Church in Binghamton, said the congressional debate over pending civil rights legislation largely excludes black people and will be watered down by its opponents until it is meaningless. A new organization, Americans for a New Social Contract, offered an alternative plan Thursday that members say is more likely to gain acceptance because it will assuage the fears of white people.

The plan calls for the dissolution of laws prohibiting discrimination in housing, restaurants, hotels and private clubs. In return for these concessions, the group wants stronger legislation to enforce equal employment and educational opportunities, voting rights, fair lending practices and equal protection of the law. employment bill unless we (black people) are willing to negotiate," said Span, one of 40 ministers who make up Americans for a New Social Contract. He said the civil rights blueprint was released in five states Thursday by the organization's members. The group decided to suggest relinquishing antidiscrimination laws governing housing and social spheres in exchange for tougher laws against discrimination in the more important economic sphere, Span said.

"African-Americans' need to concern themselves with legislation that is concerned only with their existence," he said. "The three aren't essential to black existence, the others are." Span said the group hopes to trigger a national debate over its proposals. It hasn't shared its blueprint with mainstream civil rights organizations, assuming those groups would disagree.

Bowling league's ex-officer admits theft BIRTHS By KEITH GEORGE Staff Writer A former officer of a Binghamton bowling league pleaded guilty Thursday to a 1987 felony theft charge and was told he will go to state prison.

Henry Aylward admitted stealing $1,097 from the Wednesday Night Variety Bowling League and pleaded guilty to fourth-degree grand larceny. Broome County Judge Martin E. Smith told Aylward, 35, he planned to sentence him July 12 to IV2 to three years in prison. Aylward, who now lives in Daytona Beach, according to jail records, was secretary-treasurer of the league at State Bowling Center in Binghamton. He was indicted on the charge Aug.

28, 1987, but police could not find him. A bench warrant was issued and authorities heard nothing further until last month, when he was located during a traffic stop near Daytona Beach, said Assistant District Attorney James E. Shoemaker. The indictment accused Aylward of stealing the money between Oct. 8, 1986, and April 21, 1987, he said.

He will be sentenced as a second-felony offender, having been convicted Aug. 1, 1979, in Broome County Court of third-degree burglary, the prosecutor said. Also Thursday in Smith's court, Jason D. Gratkowski, 16, of 97 Che mung Elmira, pleaded guilty as a youthful offender to second-degree forgery, a felony. He admitted forging a check for more than $500, with which he bought several pairs of sunglasses.

Joseph F. Romani, a senior assistant district attorney, said the check, on the account of Robert and Karen L. Osborne of Elmira, was cashed April 14 at Sun Vision at Oakdale Mall in Johnson City. To Carrie and Ron Graham, a son. Binghamton: To Roxanne L.
