County attorney cannot try Brooke
BOSTON--After a three-week investigation into whether Sen. Edward Brooke, R-Mass., should be charged with perjury, the Middlesex County district attorney said yesterday that he had no jurisdiction in the district attorney's investigator and would not determine if the case became illiquid so this delicacy should not be taken lightly." If the case is pursued, it should be by the state attorney general or the Suffolk County district attorney, he said.

NEW YORK (AP)—A Polish-speaking machinist who wanted more money for an on-the-job injury was seized yesterday after he held four hostages for nine hours in the World Trade Center. He had threatened to blow up the room in which he was cornered with what he said was 80 pounds of dynamite.
The police said one hostage escaped the windowless 36th floor hearing room in which the man, Ladislaw Fracek, in his $50, said to have told his lawyer earlier, "I have a bomb here and I'm going to set it off if I don't get money."
Man seized after threatening blast
The police said another of the hostages told Fracak, "We don't believe you have a gun."
The three remaining hostages then jumped Fraczek and overpowered him, the police said. They said a knapsack, which contained four loveless girls, was taken from him. One of the hostages said the police he had seized "the device."
At one point, Police LL Frank Reilly said,
"He said he had 80 pounds of dynamite. I'm no explosives expert but if that went off it would take out two or three floors."
The hostages报验帐 were not matched.
Thousands of office workers were evacuated from one tower of the 110-story skyscraper, the city's tallest building.
IT WAS NOT clear how Fraczek, from Brooklyn, could have gotten 80 pounds of explosives into the building as he said he had.
The hostages reportedly were not hurt.
A team of police negotiators was rushed in under the command of Capt. Frank Bolz to negotiate the release of the hostages. The team, trained to avoid actions that might trigger violence, also called in a Polish interpreter.
The four hostages were identified as Workers Compensation Board referee Louis Jerome, court reporter Clarence Douglas, state insurance fund lawyer Salvatore Ciaccio and Frazek's lawyer, whose name was not immediately known.
Arthur Cooperman, chairman of the compensation board, said Francek lost two fingers in an industrial accident in 1975 and received $40,000 in the compensation, the maximum under the law.
"He evidently spent it and told us he was not working and he insisted upon receiving a job."
Cooperman said Frazek was told he would have to present proof that the amount he already had received was insufficient compensation for the injury. That effort apparently had bogged down in a series of delays, angering Frazek.
Cooperman said he had been told that Fraczek had picked up considerable knowledge about explosives during World War II. He came here from Poland about four years ago, was studying for his citizenship and was taking English lessons.
The evacuation sent tenants of the 24th through 40th floors of the building from their air conditioned working quarters into the 86-degree heat on the sidewalks below.
Changes planned for law agency
WASHINGTON (AP)-President Jimmy Carter granted yesterday a replevite to the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, an agency that he had criticized as wasteful and that his advisers talked about abolishing.
During a half-hour ceremony in the White House Rose Graden, Carter formally proposed to let LEAA live on in a somewhat altered form.
his proposals, immediately endorsed by key members of Congress, would keep the House in place and governments in about the same amounts, or more, as the current $41-million-a-year rate.
money for increases in police pay or for such hardware as helicopters or bulletproof vests, something that already has been curtailed.
The plan also would attempt to give some extra money to crime-infested areas if Congress increases spending or if LEAA is paying savings in what it spends for management.
The plan would outlaw the use of LEAA
Carter said his plan would cut paperwork for state and local officials, improve crime research and statistics and allow increased involvement in the spending of LEAA money.
In a companion announcement, Carter said $209 million in federal money, which
already has been appropriated, would be spent in a consolidated effort to improve about 50 to 60 of the most crime-infested public housing projects.
The plan would allocate $159 million to rehabilitate vacant housing units and to install improved security measures; $32 million to employ youngsters who live in poverty; and to upgrade project management; and $2.5 million for neighborhood revitalization.
Cleveland police continue refusal to patrol housing
CLEVELAND (AP)—Police refused for the third day yesterday to patrol 14 high-rise housing projects on foot, saying it was too dangerous or a policeman to go into the projects alone.
The policemen's refusal to take part in the $1 million federally funded program was the latest round in a fight between the Cleveland Police Department and Mayor Dennis Kucinich, who faces a recall election Aug. 13.

Two-man patrols are assigned at night and policemen on that shift apparently were not taking part in the work action. Each of the housing projects also has one armed
The LEAA reorganization would set up a new National Institute of Justice to research ways to reduce crime and would improve conditions in wrongs as divorce, title transfer and lawsuits.
James W. Barrett, Cleveland safety director, said no more policemen would be relieved of duty because such action would limit "city of its law enforcement capabilities.
"We intend to prefer departmental charges against any officer who refuses to accept a lawful order," Barrett said.
Consumers protest KP&L hearing topics
TOPEKA (AP)—The Kansas Corporation Commission yesterday accepted for consideration a consumer advocate group's challenge to a KCC order that would limit the issues in a hearing on a $90 million loan by Kentucky for increases in Kansas Power and Light Co.
G. T. Van Belber, chairman of the commission, said the commission probably had to review the regulations.
Kansas Legal Services Inc., an arbiter in the case on behalf of customers of KP&L, challenged the order that would limit the P&L.
According to Kansas Legal Services lawyers, a discussion on rate structure and rate of return ought to be included in the hearing, opening next month, on KP&L's request to begin collection of an additional $39 million annually.
The interim rate increase would be collected until the commission makes a decision on K&P&L's request for a $55 million permanent increase.
The Jeffrey Energy Center, which began producing electricity for the KP&L system in 1982, is owned by E. C.
KP&L SAYS it needs to start collecting the $39 million to offset its investment in the $50 million Jeffrey Energy Center, which is between Topeka and Manhattan.
Vice President Walter F. Mondale is scheduled to appear at the dedication ceremony of the National Parks Museum in Washington.
crease had been scheduled to begin yesterday, but was delayed until Aug. 14 by Kansas Legal Services' challenge to the order that would limit the issues to revenues, expenses and accounting procedures.
U.S. mediators enter postal talks
It also would create a Bureau of Justice Statistics to handle crime and civil justice statistics. The bureau eventually could take the FBI role in gathering national crime information Benjamin Civiliett, deputy attorney general, said such a move would save money.
Only 9 days remain in a current labor contract between the two.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal mediators stepped yesterday into stalled negotiations between the Postal Service and unions that represent 554,000 workers.
Wayne L. Horwitz, director of the Federal Meditation and Conciliation Service, said that after discussions with both sides, "it was hard for the team has arrived for serious mediation efforts."
Negotiators began daily meetings until the July 20 expiration of the current three-year contract. Little progress has been reported since the talks began in April.
Union leaders welcomed the mediation.

The chief Postal Service negotiator, Deputy Postmaster General James Conway, said through a spokesman that a tentative agreement had been reached on a no-strike provision similar to that in the current contract.

costum Workers Union said, "I am hopeful the presence of Mr. Horwitz will move that work."
As a candidate for president, Carter criticized the LEAA, which has spent about $8 billion since it was created after the urban riots of the 1960s. He said the agency spent a lot of taxpayer money while making almost no contribution to reducing crime.
Carter predicted that the LEAA would have a beneficial effect on the crime problem and would continue to reduce the rate if reshuffled according to his plan.
