24 Boston Evening Globe Wednesday, November 15, 1978 Dukakis ready to name 4 a judges appeals state courts under nominations by Dukakis. He was named to the Springfield Housing Court in 1973 and to the Superior Court two years later. He drew wide attention for his handling of the Franklin teachers strike. In an unusual decision Monday he said Amherst parents could educate their children at home rather than in the public schools. Dreben is a Radcliffe College graduate in 1949 and Harvard Law School in 1954.

She is an active trial lawyer and partner in the prominent Boston law firm of Palmer and Dodge. Perretta is a 1967 graduate of Suffolk University Law School. She served as an assistant in the Middlesex District Attorney's office and as a trial and appellate lawyer in state and federal courts for three Boston law offices. Kass, a graduate of Harvard in 1952 and Harvard Law School in 1956, is a partner in the' Boston law firm of Brown, Rud-nick, Freed and Gesmer. Sources said yesterday that Dukakis also is preparing to select one of the three names for nomination to the $40,500 seat on the Superior Court left vacant by the resignation last August of Judge Robert M.

Bonin. These reportedly include Rudolph Pierce, now serving as a US magistrate at the Boston Federal Court, Robert V. Mulkern, a prominent Worcester trial lawyer, and Robert Barton of Bedford, a former assistant Middlesex District Attorney and trial lawyer. The governor, also reportedly has received five names from the Judicial Nominating Committee for appointment of two judges to the Roxbury Juvenile Court. These include Geraldine S.

Hines of Roxbury, Julian F. Houston of Boston, Charles M. Grabau of Boston, Benjamin Jones of the state Motor Vehicles Appeals Board and Robert Alexander of Gov. Michael S. Dukakis will announce today his selection of two women and two men for appointment to the four new judgeships established for the Massachusetts Appeals Court by this year's court reform law.

Chosen by Dukakis for the' $45,000 posts, The Globe learned, are Superior Court Judge John M. Greaney of West-field and attorneys Raya Spiegel Dreben of Belmont, Charlotte A. Perretta of Boston and Rudolph Kass of Arlington. If confirmed by the Executive Council, the four will join the six-judge appellate court headed by Chief Justice Allan M. Hale of Middleboro.

The four were selected from a list of 11 names, including two Superior Court and three Probate Court judges, submitted by the governor's Judicial Nominating Committee headed by Joseph Travaline of Burlington. The selections were approved Monday by the Joint Bar Committee, which comprises 19 representatives from the Massachusetts, Boston and county bar associations. It was learned that there was "deep disappointment" at Dukakis' failure to promote other judges from the Nominating Committee's list. It was also learned that persons high in the court system, reportedly with encouragement from the governor's office, had actively solicited some of the top-ranking judges in other courts to apply for the Appeals Court bench. Sources said members of governor-elect Edward J.

King's staff are studying Dukakis' judicial nominations because the in-coming administration will have the responsibility of budgeting the court reform program. The source indicated there might be some opposition to some nominations. Greaney, 39, already has served on two New Bedford arrest stirs protest; 24 held NEW BEDFORD Police arrested 24 students during a near riot at New Bedford High School this morning shortly after they said they took an alleged drug pusher into custody.

About a half hour later, police said, they were called back to the school on reports that a large number of the students refused to go into the building and were stoning passing cars.

Martel testified that he attended a meeting in Reinstein's Revere home at which Henry R. Paone of Medford, the clerk of the works at the high school site, was present in May 1974.

"Billy (Reinstein) said: "Paul, where's all the fat on this Martel recalled. The prosecution witness said he took out a list to demonstrate how the contract funds, which by that were estimated at $2.5 million, were being spent. When Reinstein asked where the contract could be cut, Martel said he answered that $40,000 to $50,000 might be slashed from audio-visual equipment Martel said Paone interrupted and said, "That's not what we're talking about. I want to know where's all the money that's coming back to the mayor?" Using a list of vendors who had pledged contributions to Reinstein, Martel wrote an amount next to each name and estimated a figure of $16,000. "Is that all?" Martel said Paone asked.

Paone, according to Martel, then said, "I'll handle it from now on." Paone, co-owner of an East Boston contracting firm, was indicted on charges of larceny, conflict of interest, being an accessory before the fact of bribery and conspiracy. His trial is pending!

Reinstein from subcontractors seeking work on the $15 million Revere High School in 1973. Paul B. Martel, a former employee of Associates, which was awarded a design contract by Reinstein, said Simon Sharigian of Walpole told him the mayor was seeking a percentage of each subcontract.

"He (Sharigian) said, 'One thing the mayor wanted Si Associates to do was, basically, to solicit everybody who came into our The mayor expected 5 to 10 percent of every contract Martel testified. Martel said that when Sharigian told him in November 1972 that he was going to get "a big job" at the high school, Martel, who had lived in Revere for 34 years, responded that "if he was going to get it, he wasn't going to get it for nothing." The 39-year-old contractor from Stow said Sharigian then informed him that Sharigian was required to kick back $40,000 of the $84,000 fee the firm would" receive from the city. "We didn't want to do it," Martel said," but this was what it was going to take to get into that business. This was the key to setting up a new business. This guaranteed work."
