Prospects of a move in this direction may be limited but those who have advocated the unicameral plan for New Jersey keep hoping that the advantages of such a plan someday will prevail. It was unfortunate when the Constitutional Convention of 1966, after much discussion, turned down the unicameral plan because the bicameral legislature was, as Gov. Hughes then said, "traditional." Commenting on the matter at that time The Press said that, "traditionally, people travelled in horse-drawn buggies 100 years ago. Should cars and airplanes have been fought because they violated tradition? Years ago children worked in sweat shops for pennies a day.

Perhaps the child labor laws which stopped this tradition should never have been enacted." The objection is raised that a unicameral system lacks checks and balances sought in most forms of government. But, with our present bicameral mob scene in Trenton, checks and balances have been succeeded by a form of chaos in which the legislator knows little about his constituents and they are likely to know still less about who represents them. The fractionating of legislative districts and artificial marriages of disparate areas have created confusion that makes the one-house legislature essential. Opposition to the one-house legislature on the ground that it is some radical idea is hard to understand. Nebraska has had this plan in operation since 1932.

The system requires public hearings on amendments, restricts action in the closing days of a session, pinpoints responsibility on one body rather than shifting it from one to another, centralizes control over appropriations, and permits adequate research of the hundreds of bills offered every year. In Nebraska major legislation cannot be acted upon by a committee on the day of introduction but must undergo prior major scrutiny. It cannot come to a vote without a public hearing and copies of the bill have to be available in advance of such a hearing. The deliberate nature of the Nebraska legislative process contrasts vividly with the frenetic activity too frequently apparent in New Jersey's Assembly and Senate, now so populous that the members get in each other way. New Jersey needs a much smaller, unicameral, or one-house legislature.

It would be more effective, adhere more closely to the "one-man, one-vote" concept, be less expensive, and more responsive to the citizens. The theory that one house checks the other in preventing bad legislation has not been evident in practice. The diffusion of responsibility has, on the other hand, tended to defeat the principle of accountability. It's time we abandoned outworn "tradition, and moved into modern times by streamlining the state legislature through adoption of the unicameral system.

The agreement was reached in a series of summit meetings in Benghazi, one of Libya's twin capitals, and announced simultaneously last night In Cairo, Damascus, and Benghazi. The decision will be put to plebiscite in each of the three countries on Sept. 1. The federation calls for a high degree of coordination of national policy.

But it is not clear what practical effect the federation will have in each country or on the diplomatic effort to settle the Arab: Israeli conflict. Observers here feel that the federation may boost the prestige of the governments of Syria and Libya. For Egypt, which has been turning inward since President Gamal Nasser's death last September, federation gives the appearance that Egypt is still a major force in regional Arab politics without upsetting its national objectives. Earlier attempts at political union have always fallen apart because of domestic Arab politics. A union between Syria and Egypt ended in September, 1961, because of a coup of Syrian officers, and a brief union between Jordan and Iraq in 1958 ended when Iraq's monarchy was overthrown by Army officers.

Under the terms announced last night. Presidents Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Hafez Assad of Syria and the Libyan leader, Col. Mommar Kadhafi, will decide by majority vote which of them will head the new union. It will have a common national anthem and a national legislative body, a federal court and a combined military command with authority to send troops from any member states to another to quell internal disorder. No political party from one member state will be allowed to operate within the other.

The three presidents said they would not give up one inch of territory occupied by Israel during the 1967 war and would not bargain over the rights of the Palestinian people. Sudan, one of the original partners in the tripartite group of Egvpt, Libya, and Sudan established in Tripoli in December 1969, would not joint the union but has the option of membership later, President Sadat said over Cairo Radio. Sudanese President Jaafar Numeiry, who has just returned from a visit to Moscow, is having severe domestic problems including a bitter feud with Sudanese Communists. The Communists opposed Numeiry's decision to join the federation last November. I1AFEZ ASSAD Marlln Tuna Restnuraut Open 7 days.

and Mrs. James Mattox, 41 Hollywood was being examined late last night at Jersey Shore Medical Center, Neptune. She was found shortly before 9:30 p.m. on the front seat of a car belonging to Alan Walton, Hurley Pond according to police. She was bound and gagged.

Investigators said the car was parked in front of Walton's home, and Walton was in the house. Walton was being held without bail in Monmouth County Jail, Freehold. He was scheduled to be arraigned this morning in Municipal Court here. State Police Sgt. Chester Baginsky of the Howell barracks said authorities were on the suspect's trail even be-for the abduction was reported.

A newsman from radio station WOBM, Toms River, Louis Pulcrano spotted a car driving erratically and called the Howell barracks to report it, giving the license number. "We got the name of the car's owner, and we found out that he had a record of sex offenses," Sgt. Baginsky said. "The car fit the description given by the family, and we sent Wall Township police to see if he was home. And they found the girl." Denise's aunt, Mrs.

Janet Meyers, said the little girl and her brother, Andy, 7, were playing in the front yard ol the family home shortly before 6 p.m. when a white 19G2 Pontiac pulled up, and the driver opened the door on the passenger side. "The man asked Us our names." Andy told an Asbury Park Sunday Press reporter. "He grabbed Denise and pulled her in the car. I tried to grab her and pull her back.

He pushed me away and slammed the car door shut. The door hit me in the head." During the 3-hour ordeal, members of the family and neighbors were at the kitchen table praying for the child's safety. At about 9:30 p.m., the call came from Wall police that the child was safe. The family drove to Wall headquarters for the Joyful reunion. Mrs.

Several times there were barely enough to keep things going 18. At other times the field, behind the Veterans of Foreign Wars building on Sylvania avenue, was crowded with spectators many of them potential substitutes.

By week's end many had played on both teams and at practically all nine positions. The players ranged from peanut-sized 7-year-olds to men well into middle age and even included a fair share of girls. Joseph Meyers, 44, of 4 Lawrence Drive, who lives near the field, played more than four hours yesterday. "I saw them playing every day," he explained, "and I figured I'd give someone a chance to rest." Community involvement extended far beyond the immediate neighborhood. Fire companies here and in Avon set up floodlights at night to permit the game to continue.

Several merchants donated refreshments for the players, and one service station contributed gasoline for use in cars that were helping to light the field.

Bv Our Combined Services TOKYO The U.S. table tennis delegation returned from Red China last night happy at their friendly reception and impressed by Premier Chou En-lai, called "brilliant and intelligent, quick and a good host." The evaluation of Chou came from Graham Steenhov-en.

59, Detroit, head of the delegation, but everyone agreed that the high point of their tour was the meeting with the premier in Peking. "I was delighted with mm, Steenhoven said. "I told him how pleasant it was to be there but I did not say anything about China's intentions toward the United States and the American people. That would have been improper. Chou told the 15-membcr delegation that more Americans would be welcome to China.

Steenhoven noted that President Nixon had said last week he would like to visit Red China, and added: Why not?" Steenhoven said that Chou even invited criticism, but the Americans offered only one: "You fed us too much." Chou knew almost everything about the Chinese team and its members, including scores at the 31st world table tennis championships in Na-goya, Japan. It was there the American team received an Invitation to visit Red China, the first group to do so since the Communists seized the mainland in 1913.

"We'd been playing a lot of softball the last few weeks." he recalls, "and I remembered a marathon game that was started here about four years ago. It was Easter vacation and we knew we weren't going to be doing anything special, so I suggested trying it again. "It really got to be a serious thing after it got going." It got so serious for young Martin that he wound up in bed with a chill and a 102 degree temperature after three days and nights of almost continual plav. He recovered enough to return for the final few innings yesterday, but he plans to get plenty of rest again today. Another young man who definitely won't be playing ball today is Al Hartman, 19, of 115'i Hawthorne the game's chief scorckecper.

He got just 15 hours sleep all week. "I plaved the first day. then kept books the rest of the time," young Hartman relates. "Somebody had to do it, and I was one of the few who knew how." By yesterday afternoon his eyes had grown red and his voice raspy from "screaming and no sleep" but he stayed at his post (sprawled out on a chaise lounge, for the most part) right to the end. He took a few days off from his job at the Brisbane Child Treatment Center.

NEPTUNE CITY The longest softball game in the history of the borough and maybe of the world finally ended last night. After 128 hours and innings of nonstop action, a hardy band of ballplayers called it quits at 6:32 p.m., leaving dusty Memorial Field deserted for the first time since early Monday morning. The Reds won the game, edging the Blacks by the narrow margin of 900 to 894, but that really didn't mean very much. What mattered most to the youngsters who took part in the game more than 200 in all was that they had set a new world record for endurance on the field of soft-ball combat. At least they think they did.

"As near as we can tell, the old record for a marathon softball game was 110 hours." says John Rowland, a borough patrolman, director of the Neptune City Organized Sports Committee, and supervisor of the game. 'We called the Associated Press and Guinness' World Book of Records, and they said they had nothing listed. But we heard someone played 110 hours up in North Mr. Rowland plans to submit full particulars on the game including press clippings and scorcbooks to Guinness, in hopes it will bfl recognized officially as a record. The idea for the marathon originated with Ken Martin.
