A licensed real estate broker in Penn Tip O'Neill thinks the vote on a nuclear weapons freeze will be "very, very close." See Page 4. "I want to do better," he said. "This is not a cop-out. I'm afraid if we just freeze, we're all going to be stuck there for a very long time." Specter won cheers when he said he voted for a freeze resolution on the Philadelphia ballot last November and toured Pennsylvania college campuses last October speaking on nuclear arms control. But the mood changed when he said the United States must negotiate from a position of strength in order to halt the arms race.

"It's immoral, it's dangerous and it's got to stop. We can no longer have just talk. We need a beginning," Tom Weir, a Philadelphia city supervisor, told Specter. "What do you propose to do if the Soviet Union will not enter into a bilateral mutually verifiable freeze?" asked Specter. if they will?" the crowd shouted back.

Specter said he had written to President Reagan protesting the nomination of Kenneth Adelman as a nuclear war. Larry Mutti, Huntingdon County, said the freeze is needed to prevent the creation of a new generation of weapons designed for aggression, not deterrence. Nancy Heskett, 9th District coordinator, gave Shuster petitions with 2,700 signatures, bringing the total presented to about 5,800, said Kistler. The group also delivered 100 individual letters and 600 proxies from persons designating the group as their representative. Kistler said Shuster made no commitment on the nuclear freeze issue, but "we had a sense there was Troskoskl, 27, is a licensed practical nurse at Franklin County Nursing Home.

"They have a good referal file and established contacts," he said, "so we can provide total care." People with psychological problems often have employment troubles, financial troubles and health troubles too.

"It's not usually a single problem," said Rosie. Fred Chubb, director of CSI, said the link was possible because of the commitment of his corporation's 120 members. "They want a whole range of services to be offered in Shippensburg," he said. "Not just in the county seats." Until 1978, CSI's only funding came from drug and alcohol prevention groups. In 1979 the organization began to expand its range.

"The board of directors recognized that drug and alcohol abuse is an indication of severe, more underlying problems," said Chubb. Now CSI provides job training, health services, welfare referrals, counseling and other services with funds from Susquehanna Employment Training Corporation (SETCO), Franklin County CETA, Shippensburg Area United Way, local churches, local industries, FranklinFulton County Drug and Alcohol Council, and income from two thrift shops run by CSI volunteers in Shippensburg and Orrstown. "Growth has taken place because the needs are so great," said Chubb. He would like to see more growth. "We're not doing what needs to be done to reach people in the outlying communities, along the mountains," he said.

"It's healthy for a community to have these services available locally." The mental health hotline number is 532-8049. sylvania and Maryland, he is owner of Ausherman Waynesboro and Greencastle.

Specter aide Paul Michel said the Feb. 16 letter was not released to the public and refused to provide a copy Tuesday. "You could characterize him (Specter) as not favoring Adelman for the job," Michel said. He said Specter told Reagan he had "grave reservations" about whether Adelman was the right choice and asked the president to reconsider the appointment. According to Michel, Specter told Reagan he had met with Adelman for more than an hour and found him bright but limited in arms control experience and totally lacking in experience as a negotiator.

The rally and lobbying effort Tuesday was arranged to coincide with a House Foreign Affairs Committee vote on a compromise nuclear freeze resolution. The committee voted 27 to 9 to approve the measure, which calls for the United States and the. Soviet Union to discuss "when and how to achieve a mutual verifiable freeze" on testing, production and development of nuclear weapons. dialogue." Shuster told them he supports greater defense cuts than the Reagan administration, Kistler said. Ann Eppard, a Shuster aide, said the meeting was one of two-way communication instead of the congressman just answering constituents' questions.

"They both learned a little about each other," she said. "They did have a good dialogue going." She said Shuster's position is that the United States must maintain its position of strength and any arms negotiations must include more than just nuclear weapons. vivors had been rescued, 277 people in the danger zone had been evacuated and 22 injured had been hospitalized, Xinhua said.

By Ml LAWRENCE Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON Pennsylvania's two Republican senators debated nuclear freeze issues with amateur but fervent home-state lobbyists taking part in a national effort to promote arms reduction.

"I believe there has to be arms reduction There is a real question in my mind as to whether we are trying hard enough," Sen. Arlen Specter told some 150 Pennsylvani-ans Tuesday. The group represented a fraction of nearly 2,000 state demonstrators organized for the Washington trip by the Harrisburg-based Pennsylvania Campaip For a Nuclear Weapons Freeze. "We are all motivated partially out of fear and partially out of mistrust of our government," the Rev. Hendrik Bossers of Pittsburgh told Sen.

John Heinz. "How can we learn to trust you so that we don't have to come here like rebels with no support from our own government?" Bossers added to cheers and applause. Heinz said he backs a freeze on intercontinental missiles but not an all-out freeze.

By SYLVIA V. LONG Staff Writer SHIPPENSBURG Psychological crises now can be handled 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without leaving town. Starting this week, the Carlisle-based Helen H. Stevens Community Mental Health Center is linked to Community Services Inc. (CSI).

CSI, key social service referral agency for the area, has agreed to provide room for an office at its 69 W. Burd St. offices. Stevens officials have agreed to provide a mental health therapist, a professional drug and alcohol counselor, a 24-hour hotline and training for a 12-member crisis intervention team of local volunteers. "It has been asked for for a long, long time by the people of Shippensburg," said Gerald "Jerry" J.

Rosie, director of outpatient services and crisis intervention for Stevens. The mental health group has provided services from an office wing in the Shippensburg branch of Valley Bank and Trust Co. since 1980, but fund cuts led to termination of that lease. Helen Stevens officials said unless someone provided free space for therapists, they would have to stop offering services in town. Because of geography, the town has always been isolated from county services.

Located on the CumberlandFranklin county line, Shippensburg is something of an island. The borough is 11 miles northeast of Franklin County's social service headquarters in Chambersburg and 22 miles southwest of Cumberland County's social service headquarters in Carlisle. But the winds of fortune have changed in recent years. This latest therapy link adds to a growing list of county services provided in town through the CSI office. Couniians talk to Shuster By BILL BERT Staff Writer Franklin County nuclear freeze suppcriers were encouraged Tuesday after a meeting with Rep.

Bud Shuster, R-9th. About 35 persons from Shuster's district, including members of Franklin County Citizens for a Nuclear Freeze, participated in a national lobby day in Washington. Sandy Kistler, Franklin County coordinator, said she was encouraged that Shuster is giving serious thought to the issue. Kistler told Shuster the issue is important locally because the area is a potential target and the arms race drains money from the area. The Rev.

Neil Brown, Everett, told Shuster it is improper to spend so much money on defense that could be used to provide food for the hungry and serve other basic needs.
