An or-! ganized campaign of letters to the editor has been arranged. And deliberate untruths have been circulated, concerning i mythical 'deals'." Carey said, "Mr.

Zisk could perform a service to honest political discussion by muzzling his ghost writer." The Pac spokesman charged that Zisk, rather than running a high-level campaign, has become a "sour-grapes" candidate. Carey said, "It was Mr. Zisk who wined and dined members of the Democratic Town Committee, secking their endorsement. Then, unable to buy their votes, he began to shout 'foul'." challenge Mr. Zisk to make public.

In urging finance board transfer of funds to the depleted EDC budget to continue a part-time operation of the agency, the commission said it is obligated "by contract" to provide a clerk of the works to oversee the Brittany Farms development project that followed the sale of city cemetery land to developer Abraham D. Gosman more than two years ago. In connection with the development agreement, the commission said that the city, through the Economic Development Commission, has expended "substantial sums to provide su-' pervision, legal services and secretarial assistance essential to the city's interest under the project contract." Noting that funds to continue this activity have been reserved from proceeds of the sale of- the cemetery property and are available, the commission urged the finance board to act without delay because "Lime is of the essence." The EDC fiscal 1971 payroll, originally budgeted finance the agency until next March 31, was virtually exhausted late in July because of council cuts before adopting the current city budget last January. Worked Without Salary According to EDC officials, Fusaro has been working, at its request, without salary for the past two weeks. Fusaro, appointed to the director's post by former Mayor Paul J.

Manafort, has been un'der fire by council Democrats since that party took control of the body nearly two years ago. The aldermen had contended that position should be in the classified service. Carlier this year, the Civil Service Commission, at the request of EDC, recommended this action. The council's ordinance and salaries committee, after a pubiic hearing Thursday night, is expected to recommend placing both the director's post and a clerical position under civil service, Doty, Roger Greger, James, Vance Taylor, Mark Blum, Ron Caron, and Paul Winterhalder. Commission members who asIsisted in the survey were Gerald Bazinct, John Fetzko, Marie MacDermid, and Mike Glowa.
