(Press Photo) Wreckers Blast Traymore Wings Senate Passes $7 Million Bill for Private Colleges Supporters WASHINGTON With Edmund S. Muskie retired from active campaigning George McGovern has picked up more endorsements for the Democratic presidential race that appears to have narrowed to a battle with Hubert H. Humphrey.

After Muskie quit the primaries' race yesterday, Sen. Fred Harris, a former candu-date for the nomination, cast his lot with McGovern. Harri5 previously had been uncommitted. Cliff Larson, Democratic chairman in Iowa and a backer of Muskie, announced he was switching support to McGovern but retaining the right to return to Muskie, depending on what happens at the Miami Beach convention. And sources in the McGovern camp said Sen.

Abraham Ribicoff, who has stayed out of the battle, would endorse McGovern today. It was Ribicoff who nominated McGovern at the 1968 Chicago convention. McGovern, meanwhile, said he plans to actively seek the support of organized labor and of the Democratic party leadership, despite the urging of some of his backers He told The Washington Post in an interview: "I think I've got the skill and the common sense to quiet the fears of those people and bring them on board at some point "As we move along and time permits, I'll be calling on the party leaders in many states," McGovern said. I think that's the best way I can answer their anxiety about whether I want to work with tham. "Some of the more rigid purists in my camp don't want me to talk to those people," McGovern said.

"But they've got to understand that I am a politician, and if I'm going to be the leader of this country. I've got to have communications with all segments of the country." Before Muskie withdrew from the primaries, it ap-neared he, Humphrey, and McGovern would no to Miami Beach with delegates hopelessly "nlit three ways. Now. it probably will become a two-way split.

Stocker, Morris-town Matawan, faces a preliminary hearing in Municipal Court today on charges of breaking and entering a home on Tennent road, Morganville, owned by Edward Becker Sr. Police said Stocker was caught in the home last night by Patrolmen George Lang and Sam Rogers. He was committed to the county jail in lieu of $1,500 bail pending today's hearing.

Capt. Henry Leonard, who Slid he found Mr. Wooke dead in a cabin, notified Coast Guard stations and brought the boat back to its basin immediately. Mr. Wooke's body was taken to Jersey Shore Medical Center bv the Belmar First Aid Squad.

Dr. Joseph W. Schauer assistant to the Monmouth County Medical examiner, said no autopsy was performed. He said the family physician confirmed that Mr. Wooke suffered from a "multitude" of medical problems, and the cause of death appeared to be natural.

ATLANTIC CITY UP) Demolition of the famed Traymore Hotel began yesterday with the blasting of two wings of what was once one of Atlantic City's most admired land-m3rks The muffled "boom" that disturbed the early morning quiet of this resort island marked phase one of a three-phase plan to topple the 14-story, 600-room, triple-domed hotel with explosives. The hundreds of residents and tourists who assembled on the boardwalk and stood on balconies of adjacent hotels to view the 7:30 blast applauded as the western wings of the 65-year-old building appeared literally to sink into the ground, throwing off a large cloud of dust, as the special charges were set off. When the dust had settled what was once described by its owners as a thing of beauty state schools. He said it was unfair to "tax" them to aid students in private schools. Sen.

Joseph A. Maressa, D-Gloucester, said he would like to see a bill he is sponsoring to freeze state tuition charges at 1971 levels brought out of the Senate Education Committee for a vote. Other Democrats joined Maressa in indicating opposition to the proposed tuition hike, either expressing support for his proposal to freeze tuition or recommending a smaller increase than the proposed $185 hike. Sen. Minority Leader J.

Edward Crabiel, D-Middlesex, voiced supnort for the private colleges aid bill. But he also pledged that the Democrats would force a vote on limiting or eliminating the proposed tuition increase. (AP) Kleindienst Passed By Committee WASHINGTON UP) Richard G. Kleindienst has overcome perhaps the biggest hurdle, winning Senate Judiciary Committee approval in his bid to become attorney general. But he faces yet another roadblock before the full Senate.

The Judiciary Committee yesterday reaffirmed its confirmation of the Kleindienst nomination after a two-month investigation of alleged Justice Department improprieties in the settlement of an antitrust suit against International Telephone-Telegraph Corp. Liberal Democrats on the committee, defeated in their attempt to continue the hearings, said they would fight the Kleindienst nomination when it reaches the floor, probably several weeks from now. Sen. John V. Tunney, an opponent of the nomination, said he favors full discussion of the issues before the full Senate, but added that he does not believe the debate will become a filibuster.

Sen. Quentin N. Burdick, another who voted against the committee majority, said: "We do not have a complete record, and it would be unfair to Mr. Kleindienst and the Senate to base a decision upon the present contradictory and totally inadequate record. "The cloud that Mr.

Kleindienst wished removed has not been cleared away, but has become darker than ever. I have no choice but to vote against his nomination to the Senate." Committee members have until May 5 to submit their reports to the Senate. The II to 4 vote to report the nomination favorably came after a day's session in which Kleindienst was recalled as a House yesterday to protest the proposed tuition hike. Woodcock, the only senator who voted against the bill, said, "We're looking for $7 million to support private colleges while r.t the same time the administration has proposed to increase public college tuition." Gov. Cahill is backing the private college aid plan.

Woodcock said "our first obligation" is to the students in the Youth Denies Destruction In Disorders TOMS RIVER Jose Moji-ca, 19, of Lexington Lakewood, has entered a plea of innocent to a charge of malicious destruction of property in connection with the civil disturbances in Lakewood last summer. The youth is accused of throwing a rock through a plate glass window in the lobby of the Lakewood municipal building Aug. 17. Police said he was with a group of youths who gathered outside the building to demand the release of a juvenile being held as a suspect in connection with the burning of a car. Melchiore C.

Neumann, New Brunswick, pleaded innocent to possessing hashish in Lavallette last June 7 and Mr. Neumann pleaded innocent to resisting arrest by Lavallette Patrolman Theodore TRENTON (AP) The state Senate yesterday approved the Cahill Administration's $7 million program of aid to private colleges and universities in New Jersey. The measure passed on a 32-1 vote and was sent to the Assembly. The vote followed a rambling, hour-long debate during which the topic under discussion was more often a proposed increase in tuition at state institutions of higher education.

Sen. Wayne Dumont, R-War-ren, sponsor of the college aid measure, said the proposal would enable more New Jersey students to attend college in the state. He said the bill would provide funds for some 16 private colleges and universities in the state on the basis of contracts for services geared to the number of New Jersey residents enrolled at the schools. Dumont said tuition costs at the private schools now average about $1,800 a year and make it difficult for the private institutions to compete with public colleges. Sen.

Joseph Woodcock R-Bergen, objected that the Legislature should not provide $7 million in aid to private colleges while at the same time considering a proposal to increase tuition at the eight state colleges and Rutgers University by $185 a year. About 50 students from the state colleges and Rutgers intently followed the debate from the Senate gallery.

Officials of the state Department of Labor who expressed apprehensions before the blast were the first to congratulate the demolition crew of the Maryland explosives firm for "a clean job." Traymore's owners, Tisch Brothers, operators of the Americana Hotels in New Ycrk and Miami and the Loew Theatre chains, first announced demolition plans last year, claiming maintenance costs were too high. Court suits by local residents to save the city's "Cas-tle-by-the-Sea," as the hotel was popularly known, failed to stop the blast yesterday. Chief R. Bruce Phillips and Sgt.

AMD THUBTT COIVir-VKIMV BUI Would Block Park Proposal Press State House Bureau TRENTON The Repulican majority in the state Senate yesterday cleared a bill that would prevent the future development of Island Beach State Park. The bill's prime sponsor, Sen. John F. Brown, R-Ocean, reported that it was approved by the Senate GOP caucus by "a substantial majority." The measure now is in position for a vote by the full Senate. Under the caucus system, bills must be approved by a "majority of the majority" before they are released for a vote by the full house.

The Republicans control the Senate, 24-16. Sen. Brown's bill would assure that the park would remain forever in its present condition. "Island Beach State Park shall from this day forward be preserved for posterity in its present state," the bill says. It refers to the park as a "unique recreational and educational resource," and says it is highly valued for its "topography, flora and fauna." "The Legislature hereby declares that Island Beach State Park is one of the few natural expanses of barrier beach remaining along the eastern edge of North America," the measure reads.

The bill is an outgrowth of the controversy that developed last year over state plans to expand the facilities at the park. After a public furor erupted over the planned expansion, the administration of Gov. William T. Cahill scrapped the proposal and said the state would not proceed with any further development of the park at the time. Retirement Assistance Bill OK'd Press State House Bureau TRENTON A bill to exempt non-profit "retirement community" corporations from the corporation business tax was approved by the Assembly yesterday.

The vote on the measure sponsored by Assemblyman Benjamin H. Mabie, R-Ocean, was 56 to 0. The bill now goes to the Senate. "The Division of Taxation estimates that enactment of this legislation would reduce the revenues of the state by $200,000 in each of the next two fiscal years," said a fiscal note attached to the bill. "It is thought the loss would be a continuing one." The tax exemption would ap ply to "corporations not for profit organized under any law of this stale where the pri mary purpose thereof is to provide housing for its shareholders or members in a retirement community as same is defined under the provisions of the Retirement community full disclosure act of 1969." Mr.

Mabie assured Assemblyman Ann Klein, D-Morris, that the exemption would benefit only non-profit corporations. Otherwise, there was no discussion. Wie forte' FREEHOLD The Monmouth County Grand Jury has indicted Peter J. Sinacore Floral Park, N.Y., on a charge of murder in connection with the March 26 slaying of Kathleen Miley and Robert H. Fraser, both Oceanside, N.Y.

Coleman Jr. said a warrant on the indictment will be served today and extradition proceedings will be started if the suspect does not waive extradition.
