Bail was fixed last night at $1,500 for John M. Blake, 23, of the Yardville section of Hamilton Township, by Magistrate George B. Pollack of Mctuchen, sitting in Municipal Court for Magistrate Roland A. Winter.

In default of the bail. Blake, who was turned over to township police yesterday at 4:10 p.m. by Hamilton Township police, was lodged in the local jail. According lo police, Blake drove the truck Saturday from the parking lot of the Central Jersey Mack Sale Co. of Route 1 and Plainfield Avenue after making a purchase of spare parts from the firm.

The complaint, police said, was made by Picinhard Betker of 11 Alexander New Brunswick, service manager. Police said Blake drove the tractor, to a wooded area in Hamilton Township near the farm of his partner, Joseph Kozlowski, also of Yardville, and covered it with a tarpaulin. It was recovered by police of that community. The keys were in the ignition of the tractor at the time of the theft, according to police. Blake left his car on the lot and returned with a wrecker later in the day to pick it up.

Blake told police he couldn't start his car earlier in the day. However, the vehicle started after several attempts on his second visit to the lot, police said. Investigating were Detective Capt. William Pinter, Detective Lt. Wilbert Nelson.
