Epstein ill fpM Press Slate House Bureau TRENTON A state senator from Union County plans to introduce a bill to require the State Department of Transportation to dualize Route 35 in Bay Head and Mantoloking. Sen. Jerome M.

Epstein, R-Union, said yesterday the bill has been drafted and will be introduced when the legislature reconvenes in November. "I was flooded with petitions from Union County residents who apparently have summer homes in Ocean County and must put up with this horrendous situation just about daily," said Sen. Epstein. "1 took a ride down there to see for myself." His bill would direct the state commissioner of transportation to prepare plans and cost estimates for the dualization of the two-lane highway in Bay Head and Mantoloking. The highway already is dualized both north and south of the two municipalities, creating a bottleneck that results in massive traffic jams during the summer months.

The measure calls on the commissioner to request Members of the Rohena family and friends congregate Lakewood home from which they have been evicted.

During the hearing, Ruben Silverman, a local lawyer said he owned the house but the Rev. Mr. Anderson's contract gives him full property rights. An inspection of the five-bedroom house revealed the kitchen has no sink or other normal appliances.

Mrs. Rohena said she had to supply the stove, refrigerator, and washer. She pays $225 a month rent. The walls are highlighted by cracked plaster and bare spots. The lighting is poor and loose boards protrude everywhere.

Mr. Bracho said he would probably find a motel or hotel to board the family until permanent quarters are found. He said two months of searching by various agencies was unsuccessful. BRICK TOWNSHIP -Armed with legal support from a judge and moral support from teachers throughout the state, Mrs. Kathleen M.

Pietrunti returns to school today to give an orientation address to new teachers. The former high school typing teacher was fired because of an orientation day speech she gave exactly one year ago today. But she declined to tell newsmen what kind of a speech she would give this time. "It will be typical me," she said, after a rally on her behalf, attended by more than 300 persons, mostly teachers, at the King's Grant Inn, Point Pleasant, last night. Other sources, however', said the Brick Township Education Association president might re-read the controversial speech of last year bitterly criticizing C.

Stephen Raciti, the superintendent. In deciding to fire Mrs. Pietrunti in July, Dr. Carl L. Mar-burger, state education commissioner, called the speech an unfair personal attack.

Meanwhile, teachers rated Dr. Marburger and Mr. Raciti as public teacher enemies one and two among the ranks of the faithful at the rally. Teacher-after-teachcr paraded to microphones to express their support for Mrs. Pietrunti and condemn Dr.

Marburger as trying to kill free speech. Among those were Dr. Fred Hipp, executive director of the N.J. Education Association and Warren Cum-mings, the NJEA president. It was a rare joint appearance by the top two NJEA officials at a local meeting.

"You people in Brick are sort of the minutemen standing and waiting for the troops to come," said Mr Cummings. "Okay, if they want a war let it begin here." Mrs. Pietrunti also received some new support from the Monmouth-Ocean County chapter of the American-Civil Liberties Union. Daniel Heyman, chapter president, said the ACLU would hlep the teacher if she loses her appeal before the state Board of Education. Mr.

Heyman said Dr. Mar-burger's decision would make teachers afraid to speak their minds, and the ultimate losers would be the students. "It won't be the Board members because some of them are so fixed jn their ideas they are beyond further education," he said. "It won't be teachers because they can meekly accept their pay checks. "The State Board of Education should be transferred to the Department of Agriculture," he added.

"It seems they want to raise vegetables." Not until a court ruling Wednesday did Mrs. Pietrunti know she would be permitted to give the "I sat in Mr. Raciti's office today (yesterday) and helped prepare the (orientation day) agenda," she the various Long Beach Island bus stops. He said he would push for the proposed dial-a-bus service where local stops would be made by a jitney upon request. The cutoff in the winter bus service is not a sudden move.

Following a public hearing Jan. 20, 1971, the PUC denied a request by Public Service Coordinated Transport to cut off the Philadelphia-Beach Haven line altogether. Instead, the two-day schedule was ordered on a trial basis. Beach Haven Mayor Frank Little recalled the public hearing as he expressed his discontent. "I feel very sorry about it, but we had our chance.

We came out to that hearing for the people who rode the bus, but if they had taken it more often it would have paid off," said Mayor Little. "What more can we do at this point?" Transport of New Jersey's summer schedule of three round trips daily from Beach Haven to Philadelphia will remain in effect. Double Sessions Are Set In Point Pleasant School who has a summer home la the North Lavallette section of Dover Township. Last year, Mrs. Servcnti and others on her Citzuni Concerned Committee collected 23,883 signatures on petitions favoring the widening and delivered them to the office of Gov.

William T. Cahill. But the transportation department has never given a high priority to the Route 35 project. The project was not included among top priority items in the department'! recently released 20-y ear-master plan. Bridge May Be Closed To Traffic POINT PLEASANT The new Lovelandtown Bridge may be closed to traffic over the Labor Day weekend.

A state Department of Transportation spokesman said yesterday technicians are trying to adjust the operating mechanism. The $3.3 million span has been closed since last weekend, with Bridge avenue traffic being detoured over the old bridge. "It is a new mechanism, a very complicated mechanism, and usually with this kind of thing it takes time to get all proper adjustments made," the spokesman said. "This has not been achieved, and this is what they're trying to achieve." The bridge is a lift span, in which the center part is raised between two towers on opposite sides of the canal to allow boat traffic to pass. Most other bridges in the area are bascule types or swing spans.

The spokesman said the aujuamiems are needed so the bridge can close proper- iy; "To seat totally properly a number of elements have to be just so, and this is what they're working on," he said. He was unable to predict when the bridge would be reopened to traffic. Until state officials are satisfied with the operation of the span the old bridge, which was to have been demolished, will remain in use. The new bridge was opened May 24, and closed about a month later for adjustments. At that time the state said the span would be out of operation for brief periods for about a month.

They fled with about $100. 4 He said he couid have obtained a federal loan of $18,000 to buy a house for the family, but realtors in the area would not handle the sale.

He said a big enough house for that price just doesn't exist. He- also said once repairs arc made on the house, he doubts whether the Rev. Mr. Anderson will allow the family to move in again. During the hearing the Rev.

"The dualiation prescribed by this act shall be carried out and constructed by the commissioner as soon as practicable after the necessary appropriation is mude available," the bill says. Sen.

Epstein said he would defer to Sen. John F. Brown, R-Ocean, to sponsor the bill, but said he understands the Ocean County lawmaker is committed to seeking improvements to Route 9 as his first priority. Normally, bills seeking local highway improvements are introduced by the home-county lawmakers. He said he was unaware that the project is strongly opposed by officials from Bay Head and Mantoloking.

"I would guess if there is some real concerted opposition, I would sit down and meet with officials from the affected municipalities," he said. "I'm not one to remrod things through." The drive to dualize Route 35 in the two municipalities has been led by one of Sen. Epstein's constituents, Mrs. Don Servcnti, of Cranford, the Committee for the Reelection of the President. The appointment was announced by Gov.

William T. Cahill, chairman of the New Jersey Committee for the Re-election of the President, and former State Sen. Harry L. Sears, the state campaign chairman. Mr.

Sears said Mr. Fischer was recommended for the post by Ocean County Republican Chairman C. Stanley Grover. He said the President's re-election committee will complement the efforts of county GOP organizations throughout the state. "We are particularly for-'nuate to have the leadership ol Frank Fischer in so fast "rowing an area as Ocean County," said Mr.

Sears. "His broad experience in civic and political affairs will attract Democrats and independents, as well as Republicans, to support President Nixon for re-election." Mr. Fischer was an alternate delegate from the fith congressional district to the Republican National Convention in Maimi Beach last week. In 1968, he was a presidential elector for Nixon. He has been a Dover Township committeeman the past 10 years.

He also serves on the State Apportionment Commission and the New Jersey Council on the Arts. He and his wife own and operate the Franel Music Studio in Toms River. They live at 49 Patrician Drive, Toms River.

this afternoon. A family of eleven, an unwed mother and her ten children, were to be evicted sometime today under a court order. Mrs. Gloria Rohena, the head of the Puerto Kican clan, says she has no place to go. During an interview last night Mrs.

Rohena explained the circumstances, through an interpreter, leading up to the end of her home of two and a half years. The interpreter was Robert Bracho' a neighborhood aid from Toms River Community Development Center assigned to her case. She first received a notice of eviction in July while she was admitted in Paul Kim-hall Hospital for what she called a major operation. During that stay, Mr. Bracho became involved.

Through assistance from Ocean County Legal Services a temporary delay was granted, postponing the eviction. She was released from the hospital Aug. 18 and faced an eviction hearing before Ocean County Judge Robert H. Dohcrty Aug. 24.

During the hearing, Judge Doherty described the house from pictures as "not fit for humans to live in." Judge Doherty ordered the family out by Sept. 1 so repairs could be made by the landlord.

This early season scene of a which starts today, BEACH HAVEN A criticism of "big business," a plea to help senior citizens, and. a touch of resignation were the reactions of three Long Beach Island mayors whose municipalities are affected by the elimination of a winter bus schedule to Philadelphia. The state Board of Public Utilities Commissioners has authorized Transport of New Jersey to eliminate its winter schedule between Hammon-ton and Beach Haven on its Philadelphia-Beach Haven bus route. "It's a sign of the times," said Ship Bottom Mayor William J. Hodgson, "when big business impassionatcly takes over and everything is judged on a profit and.

loss basis and the chips fall where they may. There should be a moral responsibility they reap a bonanza in the summer time and then forget us in the winter." Mayor Hodgson said he was hopeful that some transportation help could come with assistance from the county. 'Now, it's up to the county government Big Brother to expedite our transportation problems. But it seems at times that everything radiates from Toms River and we in the Southern part of the county are forgotten," said Mavor Hodgson. The PUC said the off-season service between Ham-monton and Beach Haven was lightly patronized and resulted in a net loss of $2,600 annually for Transport of New Jersey.

The winter schedule had called for two weekly trips Mondays and Fridays between Oct. 1 and June 1. Long Beach Township Mayor Charles Goodman said he was "very distressed" by the decision. "So many of the older people depended on it. They can't drive anymore.

And then there are the invalids and they need help too," said Mavor Goodman. He said the bus service should have been continued despite the lack of a large turnout during the winter at Man Returns From Detroit For Hearing TOMS RIVER Woodie McDougald, formerly of 3rd Lakewood, is being held in lieu of $5,000 bail today alirr being returned from Detroit to face a probation violation charge. bail was set by County Judge William E.
