The traditional Christmas ileroralions, known as the rerun's tallest "Christmas Tree," have been dimmed this year as a result of the energy crisis. The tower was illuminated on Thanksgiving Day, Nov.

The report suggests that the chief change his work schedule and that there are enough sergeants for adequate supervision except in case of an emergency. Morale Problem Last February the Sunday Times reported a serious morale problem in the Car-bondale Police Department.

While not terming it "serious," the Department of Community Affairs study also uncovered a morale problem in the department. "The present chief's lack of training in administrative and planning programs and his untrained attempts to create programs are causing a morale problem in the department," says the report. The report goes on to say, however, that Chief Kelly can't be held responsible lor the prime reason morale is suffering.

Contention of Truckers Disputed ir.i, nnri Thp rr-nnrt also contains figt for truck and The report also contains By LARRY MARGASAK Associated Press Writer EVERETT, Pa. (AP) Trooper Winniford J. Booze is the latest Pennsylvania State Police weapon in a war ot nerves against speeding truckers.

She drives an unmarked car, wears a white, buttonless shawl over her uniform jacket and has a stuffed, toy gorilla on the rear window ledge. i The-state 'police' are using -women troopers, unmarked cars, hidden radar and citizens band radios to strictly enforce speed limits during the energy crisis. Trooper Booze, 24, demonstrated the effectiveness the countermeasures when a rig heading west on the Turnpike passed her blue sedan with a black vinyl roof. Using her speedometer, she clocked the driver at 70 miles an hour for the required .4 of a mile, then accelerated to 85 to catch him. Taking a script from Superman, she quickly removed her shawl, put on her uniform hat, and honked at the driver until he saw her' pointing to the shoulder.

The angry driver claimed he was trying to deliver his load of lobster before a truck ing shutdown began that midnight. But he didn't deny figures for engineers uAonisRi-nr, Pa. (API cars, saying, the uniform speed of a car from 60 to 55 miles per hour saves 7.7 per cent of fuel; reducing it from 60 to 50 saves 19.9 per cent." The study contends that lowering speeds will help traffic flow on expressways. "A review of traffic flow provided by the Pennyslvania Department of Transportation indicates that maximum traffic flow on freeways and expressways occurs at operating speeds between 39 and 40 miles per hour," the report says. "A typical highway; will be to carry less than half as many vehicles per hour if they operate at 60 miles per hour than if they operate at 40." bus manufacturers, the petroleum industry, motor vehicle associations and an independent engineer hired by the state.

The truckers, who have blockaded highwavs and conducted a work stoppage, claimed their vehicles were less efficient at 50 miles an hoar than at 60. President Nixon has proposed a national speed ceiling of 55 miles an hour for trucks, 50 for cars. "Reducing the uniform speed of a large diesel truck from' 60 to 55 miles per hour results in cutting fuel consumption by 11.5 per cent; reducing speed from 60 to 50 cuts fuel consumption 22 3 per cent," the Pennsylvania study says. sylvania government study says medium to large trucks can save fuel by lowering speeds a fact disputed by truckers during their recent protests. "Medium to large trucks have anvwhere from 6 to 15 gears, and thus should have little difficulty operating aj a point near optimum engine speed at almost any given road speed," the study-says.

"For these vehicles, lowering speed limits from 60 to 50 can be compensated for bv running one or two gears below-top gear, so that there should be little or no loss in engine efficiency." -The report was issued by the Pennsylvania Office of State Planning and Development. The agency said its Officials of Oppenheim's inspect and oversee loading of toys to be distributed to needy children of the area this evening. The tradition was begun 1912 by I t. Oppenheim.
