A landlord can evict you as an %u2018undesirable%u2019 on suspicion alone.%u201dRoskoff, who works on Clinton St., is the GAA%u2019s chief lobbyist for the homosexual civil rights bill, Intro 475, which, if adopted by the city, would ban discrimination in jobs, housing and public accommodations.The bill was introduced to City Council two years ago and , twice, has failed to be reported out of General Welfare Committee by narrow margins.Councilman Saul Sharison,chairman of the General Welfare Committee, has promised GAA that as soon as the Alliance got signatures of eight committee members on a petition, he would bring the bill to an immediate vote. The group has gotten seven signatures; the eighth, Sharison, has pledged to do so, but so far has failed to call a meeting.Roskoff blames Councilman Tom Cuite for holding up the meeting. %u201cHe refuses to meet with us and refuses to give a date for the bill,%u201d Roskoff said, adding that Cuite had taken neither a favorable nor opposing stand on civil rights for homosexuals.Roskoff said that most Brooklyn councilmen have promised to vote for the bill, among them Rudolph Di Blasi, William C. Thompson, Angelo Arculeo, TheodoreSilverman, Monroe Cohen, Kenneth Haber and Ruth Lerner. LeonKatz, who has voted twice againstthe bill in committee is reportedly now undecided.%u201cMany councilmen claim they have no gay constituents because they never get letters from gays,%u201d Roskoff stated, %u201cbut basically 10 per cent of the population is homosexual. We are urging people to write their councilman in support of homosexual civil rights.%u201dRoskoff, who has been fired from three teaching jobs because of his sexual preferences, said there was a pretty good attitude towards gays in the Heights which has a larger-than-average homosexual population. %u201cBut,%u201d he concluded, %u201cthat doesn%u2019t help people looking for jobs. To live in New York, you have to hide the fact you%u2019re gay.%u201dFor C h ild re n %u2019s CongressBrooklyn Congressman Hugh L. Carey has introduced two bills in Congress, one of which will exempt all child care services from the $2.5 billion federal limit on payments to states for social services and the other which provides tuition tax credit to parents of non-public school children.In introducing the first two bills of the session, Carey said, %u201cI hope this legislation will set the tone for the 93rd Congress to be a Children%u2019s Congress, recognizing that if we are to have a generation of peace, we must have a generation of compassion for children.%u201dHome in New York after the first week of the new Congress, Carey described his bills by saying, \first bill exempts all child care services from the ceiling previously imposed. The second bill provides tuition tax credits of 50 per cent (up to $400 per student)to parents of non-public school children.%u201dThe limitations on payments to states for all social services was established by the last Congress and provides that amounts payable to states as grants for social services, including child care, under various federal and state programs be limited to $2.5 billion.According to Carey, child care programs must be exempt from the limitation because, %u201cmany of these programs help to make taxpayers out of parents who otherwise would be dependent upon public assistance programs.%u201dThe tuition tax credit bill has been hailed by some constitutional lawyers and educators as the most significant piece of education legislation in history. Carey said, %u201cthis bill means a savings for the taxpayers as well as the salvation of the principles of democracy in educational pluralism.

It is hoped that Carey%u2019s child care bill will provide a permanent solution to the problem which has hit New York City%u2019s working parents.Support for both exemption of child care monies from the ceiling, and the tuition tax credit program have gained bi-partisan supportand Carey anticipates swift action on the two proposals.Bellamyi**%u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 %u2605 *******GUARANTEEThe record albums and tapes sold in our warehousetor one dollar each are the same albums and tapesthat you have paid four, five or six dollars forelsewhere.We are one of two warehouse outlets in the countryfor the disposal of record company over-runs.Wf ai;eJ 0C?ted in an out of the way location and itW ill H P n i f f i n i l f ir \\ r v/ru i trs. i i. %u2014 iw v v a i g i IU U O C U U Lit will be worth the trip.

Bellamy reported her committee assignments: Ranking Democrat on the Transportation Committee, and member of the Taxation Committee, the Social Services Committee, the Commerce and Economic Development Committee and the Conservation, Recreation and the Environment Committee. Although Bellamy explained that committee assignments were based on a seniority system and, therefore, none of the new members were given seats on committees dealing with such major legislation as the governor s drug proposals, she said working on the Environment Committee will enable her to work on the Gowanus Canal and that on the Commerce Committee perhaps she can do something about the Brooklyn waterfront.IATA 522-7330A!1 TMO%u00a9 i %u00ab aA U CREIT CARDS HONOREDAIFRSDO ASENCIOI ...%u00abA%u00bbI* tM UAIA173 COURT STRUT %u2022%u00abGCktvri, w. y. mm
