Vaccaro Attacks Manager Says Hermann Is Delinquent In Fire Hazard ASBURY PARK Councilman Henry J. Vaccaro continued his attack on City Manager Paul H. Hermann last night, thi3 time blaming him for allowing a fire hazard to exist in a building on Springwood avenue. Dr. Vaccaro said the city manager was "delinquent in his duty" by permitting a hazardous condition at 1144 Sorinffwood Ave.

He made his comments dur ing a condemnation hearing on the building at last night's city Council meeting. The Council continued the hearing until March 14 to allow the owner to make some emergency repairs and to evict some people who have been living in the building as "trespassers." Dr. Vaccaro originally voted to continue the hearing, then changed his vote to "no" and became embroiled in a neatea debate with Mr. Hermann. Mattice Also Opposed Aslo voting against the action was Councilman Joseph F.

Mat tice. who said the building should be torn down without further delay. In recent weeks, Dr. Vaccaro has criticized the city manager for the way the 1967 budget was prepared, for recommending a change in the position of city auditor, and for his public statements concerning the financial condition of the city. During the condemnation hearing, Mr.

Hermann advised the Council to condemn the building. He noted that delap-idated buildings such as the one in question were a factor in the recent drop in the city's fire insurance rating. However, Dr. Vaccaro contended that the city manager should have acted to remove an existing fire hazard. He noted that the building Is being heated by a small, gas space heater in violation of municipal regulations.

Agrees on Hazard Mr. Hermann agreed the building was a hazard and said it should be torn down. The Council has been postponing action on the building for several months because the owner, Murray Hayes, lives in South Carolina and reportedly has been ill. He was represented last night by his attorney Charles Frankel, Asbury Park, who said some electriical repairs have been made and more work will be done in the next few days. The Council said it was mainly concerned with the danger to the people living in the building.

It agreed to postpone action for two weeks after Mr. Frankel said he would sign complaints in Municipal Court to day charging tue occupants wnn trespassing. In other business, Mayor Frank H.

The Star said its report came from "its own sources inside China" but did not identify them further. The Star's report coincided with an announcement by the Hong Kong government that Red China's exports to Hong Kong, its biggest market, dropped more than $8.2 million in January. Trade circles blamed the upheaval caused by Mao's purge and predicted Chinese exports would drop still further Mansfield Seeks Unity On Vietnam WASHINGTON W-Democrat- ic leader Mike Mansfield moved today to unite the Senate behind a declaration of support tor u.b. troops in Vietnam and for administration efforts to bring an end to the war there. By fast parliamentary foot work, Mansfield got his proposal in for a vote ahead of vari ous measures oacKea Dy me small band of senators who are outspoken against administration war policies.

The Senate plans to begin voting today on various riders to a $4.5 billion miltary authoriza tion bill which has been under debate for a week. Sen. Joseph S. Clark, had expected to get an initial test on his proposal to put Congress on record in favor of requiring a declaration of war if bombing of North Vietnam is continued or troops commit ments go above 500,000. Clark Mays Late Clark stayed late in the Sen ate last night to make a speech in favor of his measure and to call it up formally so that it would be the first order of busi ness today.

But Mansfield waited, too, And, when Clark had finished, he immediately offered his own proposal as a substitute for Clark's. This meant the majority lead er's language will be voted on first. If adopted, it will displace the Pennsylvanian's amend ment. Chances for the Mansfield proposal appear excellent since it has appeal to all sides in the debate. Broadens Proposal Clark said Mansfield's propos al was similar to one which he had planned to offer if his dec laration of war rider were beaten.

Mansfield agreed but said he had broadened it, including making specific reference to President Johnson as among those seeking a negotiated settlement. Clark said he could support Mansfield's measure but still hoped for a vote on his own amendment. Truck Driver Killed WILMINGTON, Calif. A tanker truck driver died last night when his vehicle overturned and ruptured, spilling 6,600 gallons of flaming liquid on a busy freeway offramp and into Los Angeles Harbor, police reported. Investigators said the unidentified driver was trapped inside his truck's cab by the flames, which prevented fire men from approaching.

i Aldene controversy: i Transportation Commission-1 David J. Goldberg announced that Shore commuter groups will be given a chance to suggest changes in the plan at a meeting in his West Trenton office at 11 a.m. March 9. Mr. Azzolina described the Jersey Central Railroad's book keeping as "designed solely to minimize revenue ana proauce fictitious red Case Acts A spokesman for Sen.

Clifford P. Case, said in Washington the senator has been in touch with the Interstate Commerce Commission on Mr. Azzolina's request for an investigation of the Jersey Central, but there have been no developments yet. In Freehold, Freeholder Eugene J. Bedell called for implementation of that segment of the Aldene Plan that would permit Jersey Central mainline passengers from Union and Somerset counties to go into Newark's Penn Station.

But he asked that the ferry service be continued so that Shore commuters could still go into Jersey City and take the boats to downtown Manhattan. Meanwhile, the American Commuters Association said it prodded the railroad into having the railroad's ferryboat "Elizabeth" inspected to determine whether it should return to service Monday and continue in service after March 9. Announcement that the ferry boat might be back in serv ice in a tew days was maae in Trenton by Commissioner Goldberg. Statement Checked Bernard M. Mitzner, presi dent of the ACA, had checked the railroad's contention that the ferryboat had been taken out of service because it was condemned by the Coast Guard and said it was untrue.

His disclosure led to the ferryboat's being scheduled for inspection Friday. The Coast Guard has set March 9 as the final day for the "Elizabeth" to be in service unless the boat is approved as seaworthy. The boat will go into drydock after the morning rush hour Friday, and the railroad said crews would work over the weekend to make any repairs needed to get the boat back in service on Monday. Lease Possible Should the boat be beyond economical repair, one alternative would be for the railroad to lease a boat from the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad or from New York City.

Keuper said yesterday investigation into the deaths of Helen Furblur and her 10-month-old son, Ernest Jr. is continuing. Yesterday their husband and father, Ernest Furblur, appeared briefly before the grand jury for the third time since Dec. 5 when the deaths were discovered. Mr.

Furblur, a physical education teacher at Freehold Regional High School, was in the grand jury room less than 10 minutes. Mr. Keuper refused comment on the case other than the matter is still under investigation. Furblur Silent Mr. Furblur, on the advice of his attorney Harry Sagotsky, Freehold, has refused to answer questions concerning the two deaths.

On Jan. 24 Mr. Keuper called Mr. Furblur before the jury, but he refused to answer any of the 90 questions put to him. On Feb.

2 Mr. Keuper took the matter before Superior Court Judge Elvin R. Simmill, and Judge Simmill directed Mr. Furblur to answer some of the questions. The judge ruled that Mr.

Furblur must answer all questions put to him by the grand jury except those which might tend to incriminate him. Mr. Furblur then appeared be. fore the jury a week later and spent about an hour testifying. The bodies of Mrs.

The weather bureau said the snowfall during the past month was the second heaviest in history. A total of 25.4 inches of snow fell in February at Newark, the bureau said, as compared with a "normal" for the month of 6.5 inches. The monthly snow accumulation was second only to February 1934 when 26.4 inches was recorded. The heaviest snow was during the Feb.

7 blizzard when the bureau measured 12.6 inches. The Shore had an easier time with 7.5 inches. The month also was the coldest in six years with an average temperature of 29.5 degrees. This is 3.2 degrees below normal for a February. The high temperature reading at Newark was 59 on Feb.

2. and the low was on Feb. 13 when the mercury plunged to 4. In contrast, the previous month was the warmest January in 17 years and also was one of the driest. Only 1.3 inches of snow fell during January, as against a monthly average of 6.3 inches.

The bureau, proposed in a commission report, would serve as clearing house to direct Grand Jurv Gets Data From Daly FREEHOLD Monmouth County Freeholder Marcus Daly spent 45 minutes yesterday testifying before the Grand Jury about the 10 cases of alleged il legitimacy he has referred to the Prosecutor oince. The cases have been under in- vestieation since November when Mr. Daly turned over to Prosecutor Vincent P. Keuper the names of 10 women he says are guilty of fornication or adul tery. After yesterday's session, Mr.

Keuper commented only that the matter still is under investigation. Also appearing before the jury was S. Thomas Gagliano, attorney for the County Welfare Board. He was in the grand jury t-oom for about 30 minutes. The Jury was scheduled to hear the state's evidence in the matters last month, but it was postponed because of a heavy schedule.

Board Declines To Act Mr. Daly, a freeholder representative to the Welfare Board, referred the 10 cases to the authorities after the Board refused to take action. Mr. Daly has been leading a one-man campiagn to have unwed parents receiving welfare for their children prosecuted for fornication or adultery.

None of the stations are in the Shore area, but the proposed cutback is directly tied in to the controversial Aldene Plan to take effect April 30. Abandonment of the stations will need the approval of the state Board of Public Utility Commissioners. Under the Aldene Plan, the Jersey Central will be running its Shore and main line commuter trains to Newark. The Central will have a passenger agent at Penn Station, where its train will terminate. Four of the stations that would be abandoned are on the Central's Elizabethport and Perth Amboy branch, which is now used by Central trains from the Shore.

They are the Elizabeth avenue and Bayway stations in Elizabeth and the Port Reading and Sewaren stations in Woodbridge Township. Trains to Switch When the Aldene Plan takes effect, the Shore trains will bypass those stations by switching to Pennsylvania Railroad tracks after crossing the Raritan River. Also slated for abandonment are the Kearny station on the Newark-Kearny branch and the Newark Airport and Ferry street and East Ferry street (Newark) stations on the Eliz. abethport-Newark branch. Main line stations that would be abandoned are as follows: Communipaw, Van Nostrand Place, and Greenville, Jersey City; E.

45th street, Bayonne; Spring street and Lorraine, Elizabeth; Clinton avenue, Plainfield, and the Glen Gardner and Phillipsburg stations. The Central also would discontinue passenger agent serv-ice on its main line stations at E. 33rd street, Bayonne; Elizabethport, and Elmora in Elizabeth. The proposed abandonment of the Jersey City passenger terminal would be coupled with' the discontinuance of Hudson River ferry service.

Gunning told the jury Monday he believes Charles Holland, 19 of Newark struck the fatal blow with a gun butt. Holland will be tried separately. In an unsigned confession which was introduced as evidence, McKnight admitted hitting Sandlin over the head with a tire iron during a robbery at Brown's Sinclair Service Station, 11 Madison Lake-wood, where the youth worked. Both Mr.

Gunning and Mr. Doherty declined comment on Mr. Sandlin's statements. But Mr. Doherty said he will also seek the death penalty for Holland.

The levies were aeieatea in Wall Township, South Belmar, Avon, Eatontown, Middletown Township, Keansburg, Rantan Township and Rumson.
