VV Middlesex Official Had Been Rebuked By Freeholders NEW BRUNSWICK Warden Show to Feature Somerset Industries SOMERVILLE The Somer Leonard Haefner, who has been on leave since last August, will be returning to the Middlesex county will probably be without a general aviation airport next year when a 20-year lease allowing operation of Hadley Airport in South Plainfield expires.

County Industrial Commissioner Joseph P. Somers has reported that 70 acres in use for Hadley Airport operations are "almost certain" to be sold for industrial development when the airport lease expires in July, 1967. A landing field in North Brunswick closed recently with the land being earmarked for commercial and residential development. land along the Edison bank of the Raritan River. While raising no objection to this envisaged heliport, the mayor said he would "oppose any plan to establish a general aviation airport in the township.

There had been speculation, he said, that Dismal Swamp, off Park Ave. in the Stephen-ville section, might be suitable for use as an airport. "But we don't want any planes landing there," he said. "It would mean air traffic low over houses in the Stephenville section. That would create a public nuisance and serious hazards.

Dismal Swamp is believed to be one of several locations surveyed by Middlesex County Planning Director Douglas S. Powell to assess their suitability for development for airport use. Pressure for municipal or county government backing for a new airport in the county one qualifying for federal grants has been mounting over recent weeks with a citizens committee being formed to promote the venture. Advocates of the airport proposal have pointed out that the Private develop-ment of a heliport at the former Raritan Arsenal here was forecast today by Mayor Anthony M. Yelencsics.

Convention Rally Set By Students NEW BRUNSWICK There will be some sideline attractions when New Jersey's bipartisan Constitutional Convention reconvenes in the gymnasium of Rutgers university on Thursday. The Student Council of Rutgers University has decided to stage an all-day demonstration outside the gymnasium urging a boost in state aid for higher education in New Jersey. Plans for the demonstration were announced yesterday by Student Council President David M. Wolf of Elizabeth. He said a number of legislators were being asked to speak at rallies being held as part of the demonstration.

"What we want," he said, "is to show legislators attending next week's session of the Constitutional Convention, and the public, that we will not. tolerate any further delay on the part of the Legislature in bringing about a sophisticated and workable plan which will supply the state and its educational institutions with sufficient funds to attain the position of excellence they should hold." ciety, the VFW and the American Legion, and is an ex-officio If the state settles upon the 3-speed motor Thermostatically controlled member of the Muhlenberg move, tne county wouia nave the opportunity of adding the Board of Governors. temperatures Quick, quiet cooling or 24-month werreetf $29500 building and 20-acre property to the adjacent Roosevelt Hospital ONLY The mayor, his wife and four children live at 277 S. Plainfield The Courier-New Bureau WASHINGTON Rep. Edward J.

Patten, D-N. pledged "wholehearted support" yesterday to legislation introduced in the House this week to consolidate control of national veterans' cemeteries in a single Veterans Administration agency. Patten heads a N. J. congressional steering committee advocating expansion of the national cemetery at Beverly, N.

J. Beverly could gain acreage and be reopened under the new legislation. The measures would give the VA administrator authority, "as additional lands are needed" for cemeteries, to acquire them "by purchase, gift, condemnation or otherwise." Beverly was closed to further burials a. few weeks ago due to lack of space. Sponsors of the bills are Rep.

Olin E. Teague, chairman of the House Veterans Committee and Rep. John F. Saylor, high ranking Republican on the same unit. The bills were referred to the jurisdiction of the Committee on INSTALLED Department of Institutions and Agencies, who will have the permanent job of director of the workhouse.

Freeholder John J. Fay in announcing the shift yesterday, said Haefner has agreed to return in a subordinate position although retaining his title. His salary of $8,422 is unchanged from last year. When Haefner, 65, mandatorily retires in little more than four years, the title of "warden" will be eliminated. State Approval Fay, chairman of the Department of Correction and Penal Institutions, received permission from state Institutions and Agencies Commissioner Lloyd McCorkle to retain Malkin on a nermanent basis.

"I want to thank the commissioner for allowing him to come," said Fay. "I am very pleased with Capt. Malkin's work," declared Fay, who cited the "remarkable change in morale of both inmates and guards." Haefner had been rebuked by Fay last August for "tardy" re-oorting of workhouse incidents. Shortly thereafter the warden took a 40-day vacation, which was extended to an indefinite sick leave. Haefner said at the time he was angry and upset and had high blood pressure.

Asked to Return The veteran of 30 years' service asked to return to his job late in January. Fay then asked County Physician Dr. William C. Wilentz to examine Haefner's physical condition. Wilentz approved Haefner's return, said Fay, with the qualification that he not resume the supervisory functions.

"The doctor said the tension would be too great," Fay reported. For the changes to be affected, the freeholders must amend their administrative code on May 5. The title of workhouse director must be created, said Fay. Malkin, who is 61 and is receiving $10,500 a year, would be able to make the change from state to county government without relinquishing his Civil Service rights and without examina complex. The first thing to do, accord South Plainfield.
