Hays Co. A GENTLEMAN'S CLOTHIER Pittsburgh 431 Market Street Market Square (412) 471-3118 Daily 10-6, Sat. 10-5, Sun. 11-4 said Straw, who learned about the closing Monday. "I only had one day's notice.

I'm concerned about, public safety and I don't like doing things by the seat of my pants." Route 74 is the evacuation road for Peach Bottom Township north of Delta and south of Muddy Run in case of a nuclear emergency at the plant, Straw said. The detour is a winding road that tightens at one point so that only oneway traffic is permitted. The road slows motorists, who are used to a 45 to 55 mph pace on Route 74, down to 25 mph at several points. However, "We utilize the viable detour," said Betty Serian, public information director for PennDOT. "Route 74 would not be an evacuation route if it weren't for the bridge.

There is no other way to complete the bridge without closing 74." YORK, Pa. (AP) The state Department of Transportation jeopardized the safety of residents yesterday when it closed a highway bridge in southern York County. The bridge is a key to evacuation plans in an emergency at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, county officials noted. Peach Bottom employees, the county and the media were notified by PennDOT in recent weeks that the Route 74 bridge over Muddy Creek would be closed until November while it is being replaced. The only people who didn't know the date of the road closing were the people most in need of that knowledge emergency personnel, said Robert Straw, director of York County Emergency Management Agency.

"PennDOT messed up this time," Major credit cards J. Hays Co. charge -o vistors and tourists. "This is the people's Capitol but those people have a right not to fear that something is going to happen to them. I just don't want to see this happen again Unfortunately it takes a tragedy that we end up reacting to to solve a problem," he told reporters.

"Absolutely, I would vote to pay for more manpower for Capitol police. Whatever it takes." Despite Jubelirer's remarks about a lack of security in the garage, a spokeswoman for the Department of General Services said two guards are assigned there on the daylight shift, one on the evening shift and Capitol Police cruisers patrol the garage frequently between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Pamela DiSalvo of General Services said that on evenings when the Legislature meets, two guards are assigned to the garage until at least two hours after the session ends. She also said there have been plans to increase manpower from 76 officers and guards to 101.

She acknowledged that at the time Telek entered the garage there was no full-time guard, only periodic patrols by a police cruiser. Jubelirer said he and Irvis plan to meet on the security issue next week with General Services Director David Janetta. FROM PAGE 1 circumstances, two violent deaths occur in one week. It's really out of the ordinary." The two consecutive deaths prompted Jubelirer, an Altoona Republican, to make a passionate speech from the Senate floor yesterday for more protection. He said he had spoken to Irvis, and the two agreed to jointly press the issue with the Casey administration.

Jubelirer conceded he had no proof that Telek met his killer on the Capitol grounds but he said the tragedy "has heightened our awareness for our own safety and that of our staffs." Jubelirer, who said he is "angry and distraught" about Telek's death, said there have been previous complaints about security in the underground garage built under the new $130 million East Wing addition to the Capitol building which opened last year. Senators and leaders in the House have assigned parking in a plaza in front of the Capitol. He said that even prior to the Telek slaying, Senate security officers had been escorting late-working female staffers to their cars parked there. Jubelirer said he does not intend to limit access to the Capitol to Polluting 'fluff from cars haunts landfill, dumpers "tarxiucmg Seattle Pittsburgh $318 ROUNDTRIP SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) The state yesterday charged Keystone Landfill and a Scranton man with violating state waste control laws by arranging to dump 10 tractor-trailer loads of "fluff" at the Dunmore landfill late last year.

Officials described "fluff" as fibrous or soft material, which represent the remains of seats, carpets and dashboards, generated when vehicles are cut up in a shredder. Such material often is saturated with oils and fluids from the vehicles. The state charged Keystone and Robert X. Hubshman, 59, with 80 misdemeanor violations of the state's Solid Waste Management Act as well as criminal conspiracy to violate the act. Also named in separate complaints were Prolerized Schiabo Neu Long Island City, N.Y.; Michael Terlizzese, Medford, N.Y.; John P.

Martarello, 51, Huntingdon, N.Y., and John C. Martarello, 33, North Port, N.Y. Each is charged with 80 misdemeanor violations of the Solid Waste Management Act. All except Prolerized also are charged with criminal conspiracy to violate the act. Attorney General LeRoy Zimmerman said each of the charges carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $25,000 fine.

Asked why Keystone and Prolerized were charged rather than indi viduals associated with the corporations, Zimmerman spokesman Jack Lewis said it is "not unusual to do that, especially if prosecutors feel they do not have sufficient evidence to name one particular individual." "If they feel there is wrongdoing by a corporation but cannot specifically name one person who is knowledgeable about it, they then file against the corporation," he explained. Following discovery of the fluff, the state Department of Environmental Resources ordered the landfill closed for more than a month while the material was removed. DER also fined Keystone $150,000, the maximum allowed under state law, and ordered the landfill to meet a number of other criteria for improving its operation and assuring that similar violations do not occur in the future. Discovery of the dumpings came while Keystone was seeking approval from the DER to expand the landfill on 104 acres in Dunmore and Throop. The criminal charges were filed just five days after the DER announced it will hold a public hearing May 24 on the landfill's expansion application.

Zimmerman said the criminal investigation began with a tip Dec. 10. There's more So being a Post-Gsizet carreer fthan jaast delivering flie newspaper. On June 1 USAir takes off with the only nonstop flights from Pittsburgh International to Seattle, with departures at 9:55 a.m. and 5:50 p.m.
