Frazee As a member of the Wall township board of education was received and accepted by the board last night. Frazee, clerk of the school district from Oct. 1, 1938 until June 1, 1940, had been asked to resign from the board after Moll and company, Philadelphia auditors, submitted a report on the school accounts alleging a discrepancy of approximately $6,500 in school funds. The matter has been turned over to the county prosecutor's office.

Age Limit Set at Five Children under five years of age at the opening of the school term in September will not be permitted to enter township schools after this year.

Sandifer, supervising principal, called the resolution to the board's attention and reported arbitrary date has caused a great deal of dissatisfaction. He suggested the date be moved forward to the beginning of the second term or set back to the opening of school. A state law, providing for the latter arrangement, will now take effect. The resignation of Robert Hulsart as chairman of the board's personnel committee, verbally submitted during a discussion of the method of the committee's operation, WAS tabled. David W.

Public Safety Director Edward D. Balentine announced last night he would delay installation of the meters "for reasonable length of time." His announcement came shortly before city commission meeting in town hall, where a militant group of the housewives had gathered. Last week the women uprooted meter stanchions, refilled holes dug to support the posts and damaged wet concrete foundation. They were finally restrained by police.

As for meter posts already installed, Balentine ruled last night they would remain, but added nothing farther would be done until study of traffic conditions was completed.

adv British Drop Bombs on Reichstag, Blast Buildings in Heart of Berlin British Describe Terrific Potsdam Station, AcadeRaid on Potsdam Station; my of Arts, Branden- Say German Attacks on London Less Severe LONDON (AP)-British bombers, diving with "great precision" thru mist and bursting shells, scored many direct hits on the Potsdam railway station and yards and other targets in the heart of Berlin last night, the air ministry reported. A special bulletin announcing the raids on the Berman capital was issued A8 this war-battered capital experienced a brief 10-minute air raid alarm, the first of the day, after a fourth successive night of still heavy, but lessening German attack in which bombs fell near three famous museums and in Regent, Oxford and Bond streets the "shop window of the empire." Hundreds of incendiary bombs were rained on the Potsdam station, seventenths of a mile from Adolf Hitler's chancelery, the air ministry said, after every one of the British war planes had made a direct hit with heavy explosives. "Several of them made glide attacks thru the anti-aircraft barrage," the special bulletin said. Many fires were started. The station was described as one of Berlin's major railroad terminals, handling traffic for Magdeburg and southwest Germany.

Welsh Town Also Raided This morning's air raid alarm in London was sounded at 11:53 a. m. (6:53 E. D. A daylight raid also was reported on a Welsh town.

Clouds over the London area again were turned to livid red last night as German bombers made their fourth successive large-scale nocturnal visit. Other cities, far and wide, shared the heavy punishment this time, some of them for AS long AS two hours. Nevertheless, an official communique said "preliminary reports indicate that this is less severe and that the casualties are considerably lighter than on the preceding nights." Warehouses and factories on the Thames waterfront and in the city were set afire, and bombs were scattered in South Wales, the Bristol channel district and western and eastern England, the communique said. Heavier anti-aircraft appeared to observers to have turned most of the raiders away from the central city. Nevertheless, bombs demolished one big apartment building on a square in central London, hit a large maternity hosital, smashed streets and caused large business blocks to quiver from the blasts.

Oil Tanks, Docks Hit (German sources said most of the oil tanks at Thameshaven were destroyed, the big Millwall and West India docks were hit in east London, and the Kensington west end residential district was bombed.) Workmen still were struggling to restore some of the transportation, water and gas services disrupted by previous attacks.

At the conclusion of the local taxpayers' hearing during which time about 25 local residents expressed their views, Mayor Oliver G.

Frake, announced that boro officials had decided to wait until the war department hearing next Wednesday at Rumson high school before taking an official stand. Certain residents, particularly in the vicinity of Little Silver Point, are fearful that the inlet will result in a shortage of water in the south branch of the Shrewsbury river at low tide and bring high water during high tides. They pointed out that if a channel is aug from Sea Bright to Oceanport in conjunction with the inlet, they would nave no objection. Oceanport rejected the proposal because of similar fears, tho Mayor Sidney Beers of that place said yesterday (See INLET Page 3) 'Visiting Cards' Irk Nazis British Planes Drop Small Paper Slips Which Ignite Later to Fire Munitions, Woods, Houses The Associated Press) Britain's volcanic "visiting cards," strewn by the millions on Germany, constitute the first authenticated new or "secret" weapon in more than a year of the European war. The British acknowledge the existence and purpose of the cards, but are silent on technical details.

They have, however, let the British Broadcasting company transmit Germany's angered description of the little bits of paper. The cards, about two inches square, are made of phosphorus and guncotton and are carried in damp packages in British bombers, the Germans assert. One plane can carry as many as quarter -million of them. Scattered over the countryside, they dry out and burst into flames a persistent little fire eight inches high. The British say that the cards are effective in setting fire to munitions, supplies in open trucks, and in routing Germans out of hideouts in the woods.

Farmhouses Burned That they are effective is indicated by the German complaint farmhouses, barns, crops in the fields, and forests have been burned and that many persons have suffered injuries from picking them up for souvenirs. This last suggests that possibly there is printed matter on them. The British deny A German charge that the cards are poisonous, but a.cknowledge that they will burn anyone picking them up. Up to the advent of the "calling cards." the Germans have indulged in much mysterious talk of their own "secret weapon." Such a weapon, they said, enabled them to take Fort Eben Emael, key Belgian fortress near Liege, on May 10. A picked force immobilized the garrison and made the guns useless until stronger units could take over, the Germans said.

They never have disclosed the method or devices used, but speculation has centered about some strange "nerve gas" to render soldiers helpless. The most striking weapons of the war--dive bombers, big tanks and mechanized ground forces are mere refinements and improvements of previously-used inventions. The Germans have fitted terrifying sirens to their dive-bombers, have put cannon on their pursuit planes, and have heavily armed and armored their land forces, but as far as really new weapons go, the British appear to have played card which at least annoys the Germans.

Great pillars of white stone were toppled in fragments around a crater 15 feet deep and 35 feet wide. Staff in Bomb Shelter Shower curtains Muttered in the breeze beyond a twisted and torn steel diving platform in the middle of the gaping hole as footmen and housemaids peered down from shattered windows of the three-story building in the heart of London. Only household staff members were there when the bomb struck and they were in raid shelters, a palace attendant said. An empty shelter directly under the swimming pool was not damaged.

"There was very little damage inside," the spokesman said, "mostly from flying glass and soot from chimneys. Paintings and other art objects were removed long ago." The pool was a favorite with 14-yearold Princess Elizabeth, who already has won swimming medals, and 10-year-old Princess Margaret Rose. A room adjoining the pool made up "Belgian suite" which, in "happler times," the palace spokesman said, was occupied by visiting royalty. 15 Idle Farms Are For Sale in County TRENTON Fifteen idle farms in Monmouth and Ocean counties, comprising total acreage of 862, are among 138 farms in the state listed as for sale in a publication prepared by the state department of agriculture.

Ashurst Loses Arizona Race Senator Since 1912 Beaten, Vandenberg, Shipstead Win Again The Associated Press) Mounting returns from Tuesday's elections found Senator' Ashurst (D-Ariz), long a colorful capital figure, in an apparently losing fight today in his sixth bid for renomination, but the prospects were happier for three of his colleagues. Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich) WAS assured of renomination by 811 overwhelming lead.

Senator Shipstead, Farmer- -Laborite who joined Republican ranks this summer, enjoyed a wide lead in Minnesota over a field of eight as the choice of his adopted party. And in Vermont Senator Austin received renomination unopposed. Ashurst, whose opposition to the conscription bill was urged against him in the Arizona campaign, trailed his opponent Ernest W. McFarland by a vote of almost two-to-one. Ashurst has been senator from Arizona since the state's admission to the union in 1912.
