By GEORGE MATTAR
Collegian Staff Writer
Subramanyam Vedam's drug tri
al, which will be heard by a Tioga
County jury beginning June 8, may
cost Centre County more than $l,-
000, the county court administrator
said yesterday.
Lawrence C. Bickford said the
additional costs basically came
from transportation and lodging
for an out-of-county jury.

The State College Police Department issued a
warning yesterday concerning potentially dan
gerous fire extinguishers after receiving a
report from the Suffolk County, N.Y., district
attorney's office.'
The contents of the extinguishers are report
ed to contain chlorinated hydrocarbons that can
act as an accelerant on some fires. The product
is also believed to conduct electricity and when
exposed to heat, breaks down into phosgene, a
nerve gas.
The extingbishers are six-inch high, one-
The rules of the court stipulate
that the county requesting the
change of venire will be responsi
ble for all costs incurred in select
ing or empaneling a jury outside of
Centre County, Bickford said.
For example, Bickford said, his
office iso responsible for costs of
summoning the 80 potential jurors.
As administrator, Bickford must
also arrange for the payment of
incurred living costs. Each juror
receives $9 per day plus a mileage
reimbursement in accordance with
the Juror. Act of 1981.
"We'll also be responsible for

transportation costs, motel costs
and meals," Bickford said.
Bickford budgeted for one day's
meals because he anticipates the
trial will last only one day, Bick
ford said. Jury selection is sched
uled for June 7, with the trial to
begin the following day.
Bickford said he has budgeted
$2B to $3O per juror per motel room.
Based on a jury of 14 (12 jurors and
two alternates), this will cost the
county about $420. Bickford also
expects to allow $25 per day per
juror for meals.
However, Bickford is requesting
pound white aerosol cans, according, to the
report. The cans have red lettering and an
"eagle" symbol surrounded by the name "Fed
eral Protection Service."
The cans are falsely labled as being approved
by the U.S. Coast Guard and Underwriters'
Laboratories, the report said.
The extinguishers are also sold under a "no
name" label that reads, "Fire extinguisher for
oil, grease, paper, weed and fabric fires." The
product is manufactured by Venus Laborato
ries of Willowdale, 111., and Huntington Beach,
that the 14 jurors use six cars to
help reduce costs
"It would be definitely cheaper
for us to request a car pool," he
said.
. Bickford added that it is his job
to ensure that the trial is run as
economically and efficiently as
possible:
In addition to the drug charge,
Bickford said, Tioga County juries
will hear the other charges pending
against Vedam at later dates. Ve
dam faces charges from three oth
er law enforcement agencies and,
Bickford said, Vedam is entitled to
a separate jury for each charge. He
faces six charges ranging from
weapons violations to burglary and
theft.
About 3,600 cans were sold in the Suffolk
County area. However, about 2,100 have been
recovered, according to the report.
Police have no evidence that the fire extin
guishers were sold in this area. However, a
spokesman said because of the highly transient
population, a possibility exists that some of
extinguishers' may have been ,brought here
from Suffolk County. Anyone suspecting they
may have one of these extinguishers is asked to
notify State College police. —by Michael J. Vand
