The formula was $200 per student or one-third of the budget. Based on its budget figures. Ocean County College, Toms Asserhblvman Alfred X. Beadleston, R-Monmouth, abstained. Motioa Defeated At one point, Mr.

Brown moved to hold the bill for a public hearing, but the motion was beaten, 36 to 13. He urged a public hearing to "present both sides of the argument." "We can't depend on the debate in the Senate because there was none," be said. He said he was voting against the measure because "the voice of the people is being kept down." Says Premise Sound Mr. Beadleston said the premise of the hill was sound but believed the legislature should have acted a long time ago to prevent any manufacturer from having an interest in a wholesaler's license and vice versa. McDermott complained that the bills had been treated with "speed and courtesy" unmatched even by labor legislation.

He said passage of the bills without a public hearing would leave the legislature open to criticism that it responds more quickly to special interest pressures than the public welfare. Behind the scenes was a bitter struggle between Schenley Industries which wants to set up its own wholesale subsidiary, and the New Jersey Wine and Spirit Wholesalers Association, prime mover behind the bill.

Sewer Redon Plan Passed By Assembly Press State House Bureau TRENTON Legislation in support of Monmouth County's plans for regional sewer facilities cleared the Assembly yesterday. The bill would enable the county to create a revolving fund to help municipalities install sewer lir.es before they are needed. The municipalities would not be required to reimburse the county until the regional sewer system is complete and in use.

Although the measure sets no amount for the revolving fund, Freeholder Director Joseph C. Irwin has said the county would allocate from $5 million to $9 million to it. Planners Acted Under a plan recently adopted by the Monmouth County Planning Board after a two-year study, the county would be divided into 15 regions served by 16 treatment plants. Each region also would include natural drainage areas and watersheds to renourish streams which would lose water upon installation of a sewer system. The studv.

conducted by El-son T. Killam Associates of Millburn at a cost of $75,000, recommended establishing a sewerage agency to assist municipalities within the 15 regions to plan building facilities. Other Laws Encouraged The bill also contained a statement encouraging legislation enabling planning on the regional level of facilities to combat stream pollution. County funds also would be set aside for this purpose. Also under the legislation, other counties could establish a similar revolving fund for regional sewer work.

The bill's principal sponsor was Assemblyman Joseph Az-zolina, R-Monmouth. It was his first bill to be acted upon. The measure, which passed, 56 to 0, now goes to the Senate. one. The diiti'ler has accused the state's wholesalers of failing to push Schenley products.

At one time, Schenley claimed 26 per cent of the liquor market and now has been reduced to per cent, according to the company. Schenley' wholesale outlet.

The exemption would benefit station WHYY, broadcasting over Channel 12 from Wilmington, and servjng South Jersey and areas in Pennsylvania and Delaware. The main transmitter of the station is near Glassboro in Gloucester County. Sponsors Named Sponsors of the bill are Sens. Frank S. Farley.

R-Atlantic, 1st. and John R-Glou-cester, 1st. The proposed exemption would apply to up to 30 acres of land and to the personal property of nonprofit stations if such facilities are used exclusively for educational broadcast ing. Sen.

He said the station is doing "a lot of good" and is planning to expand. Sen.

J. Edward Gabriel, D-Middlesex, 7th, expressed reservations about exempting 30 acres. He said he could not conceive of that much land being needed. But Sen. Hunt said the wires that support the tower "reach out" over a large portion of the site.

Safety Considered Another supporter of the bill, Sen. Matthew Feldman, D-Berg-en, 13th, said a large area is needed around the tower in case the tower should fall. On another point, Sen. Crab-iel said the proposed exemption might create problems involving the former Mosque Theater building in Newark, which is partially used by Channel 13, another educational television station. "The problem here is that we may be setting a precedent," he said.

Sen. Richard R. Stout. R-Mon-mouth. 5th voted for the bill.

Sen. William T. Hiering, R-Ocean, 5th, was absent. The only "No" vote was cast by Sen. Ned J.

He said savings and loan associations were originally intended to disperse mortgage loans "and just that." Brown Dissents A feature of the bill which would allow the state banking commissioner to authorize state savings and loan associations to move into areas now occupied by federally-chartered savings and loan associations also drew a dissenting vote from Assemblyman John F. Brown, R-Ocean.

He contended the banking commissioner would have too much power and usurp legislative prerogatives. But the bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Norman Tanzman, D-Middlesex cleared easily, 41 to 2. Tanzman, sponsor of numerous bills affecting banking and real estate, also steered through the assembly a bill authorizing the banking commissioner to allow state banks to undertake operations now permitted by federally chartered banks. It passed 50 to 2, with Beadleston and Brown opposing. Committee OK's Bill 011 Divorce TRENTON iff) A bill to establish a commission to study New Jersey's divorce laws was cleared by a state senate committee yesterday for a vote by the full Senate.

The measure would set up a 12-member bipartisan commission, half the members to be legislators and the other half appointed by the governor. The bill would appropriate $10,000 to carry out the study. Sen. Jeremiah F. O'Connor, D-Bergen, 13th, sponsor of the measure, has said that New Jersey's divorce laws are antiquated in many respects and need revision.

O'Connor, a Roman Catholic, said the grounds for divorce in the state may need expanding. The s'udy commission would be required to report by July 1, 1967.

Klan Probe Move Begun In Assembly TRENTON The State Assembly moved yesterday for the creation of a joint legislative commission to investigate the Ku Klux Klan and other armed vigilante groups in New Jersey. Acting in the aftermath of last week's court-blocked Klan rally near Bridgeton, the lower house unanimously approved a resolution setting up the machinery for a probe. It now goes to me senate. Would Probe Klan Assemblyman Marvin D. Per- skie, D-Oape May, said the bipartisan commission would investigate who is behind the Klan.

where its supporters are and the extent of its activities. He said the klan had proved itself a "practicer of violence and murder." Frank Rotella self-styled King Kleagle of the New Jersey Klan, had planned a mass cross-burning rally on a farm near Bridgeton last weekend. The State Division on Civil Rights obtained a court order prohibiting the rally. State Atty. Gen.

Arthur J. Sills, whose office has been investigating Klan activities for at least a year, contends racist groups have been thriving on enormous amounts of publicity. A Passaic County grand jury investigated Klan activities in the Paterson area last year. The commission would consist of six members, half of that number from each house. Driver Fined, Loses License ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS -George F.

Zivos, Newark, was fined $50 and had his driver's license revoked for two years last night for drunken driving. Magistrate Irving B.

The engineer said an $800,000 shopping center on 8 acres; a $450,000, 50-unit senior citizens project on 9 acres, and homes on the rest of the land are planned. Mr.

Schimek, whose application was denied by the Board of Adjustment earlier, was appealing to the Committee a second time after the plans were held for study May 10. "Once you open the door, you have a flood," Committeeman Laurence Michnevich said. Township Clerk John R.

One measure would create a public authority with broad powers to resolve room short ages at public and private colleges. The authority would finance construction of dormitories, dining rooms and related buildings and be empowered to float bonds. It would be patterned after the new Turnpike Authority. Bonds would be paid off by student fees and rentals.

The bill was introduced in the senate. A second measure would establish a scholarship incentive plan authorizing an additional $500 a year more for students attending public and private colleges in the state. The measure would apply to students approved for scholarships under the present system under which five per cent of each year's high school graduating classes are eligible for awards up to $500. If enacted, the program would expand aid to $1,000 a year for some scholarship recipients. The 'bill was introduced in the assembly.

Richard J. Hughes and Charles R. Howell, state commissioner of banking and insurance, have both expressed support for the bill. Bill Opposed The officials of many small and medium-sized banks opposed the bill, however. The bill would permit banks to expand into adjoining counties by branching and merging.

They are now limited to expansion within their home counties. On a related matter, Sen. Bigley reported that his committee voted to release two bills pertaining to bank holding companies. He is the sponsor of both. One would authorize the formation of New Jersey bank holding companies.

Groups Could Form Large banking groups could be formed through the sale of bank stock to holding companies. Each group member would retain its local identity. Sen. Bigley said under such a setup the banks could offer larger and more varied loans and attract business that is now leaving the state. The second bill would allow stock owned by a person in a holding company to qualify him for election as a director of a subsidiary bank.

Bankers also are divided on the issue of permitting holding companies. Vote Slated On Harness Season Bill Press State House Bureau TRENTON A showdown vote on the controversial harness racing bill is set for tomorrow. Assembly Speaker Maurice V. Brady, D-Hudson, said yesterday he wvll offer the measure tomorrow, whether or not he has enough votes for passage. The bill, sponsored by Mr.

Brady, would extend the harness racing season from 60 to 100 days, and enable the season to begin March 1 instead of April 1. Freehold Raceway, the state's sonly harness track, could apply for the extension if it wished. In recent Assembly sessions, Mr. Brady has scheduled the bill for a vote, but has failed to offer it. Many assemblymen, including Essex County's nine, are reported lined up against the bjll.

Mr. Brady also said his bill calling for a referendum on allowing night harness racing may be ready for a vote tomorrow. The session will be the first of several biweekly ones aimed at a mid-June adjournment. Vote Slated In Assembly On Truck Bill Press State House Bureau TRENTON A bill introduced after the traffic death of a young, Allentown bride last June is scheduled for a vote in the Assembly tomorrow. The measure, regulating the use of flat-bed trucks, originally was scheduled for a vote yesterday, but one of its sponsors, Assemblyman Charles E.

Far-rington, D-Mercer, said it was being held up at the request of Gov. Richard J. Hughes' legal staff. The bill was introduced Feb. 14 after Mrs.

Suisan Bowne was killed when a jetty stone broke loose from a flat-bed truck and smashed into her car on the Allentown-Robbinsville road Washington Township, Mercer County. Under the legislation, flat-bed truck owners would be required to obtain special loading permits from the director of the division of motor vehicles. Mr. Farrington said a group of flat-bed truck owners conferred yesterday with members of the governor's legal staff, but added this does not mean the bill could be amended. Beadleston, Brown Score Easing Savings, Loan Code TRENTON A Republican assemblyman accused the Legislature yesterday of giving too much power to savings and loan associations to the disadvantage of banks.

Assemblyman Alfred N. Bea-dleston, R-Monmouith, lashed out against a bill which would permit savings and loan associations to invest up to 20 per cent of their assets in loans out- Child Abuse Probes Bill OK'cl by Senate TRENTON UP) The State Senate yesterday passed and sent to Gov. Richard J. Hughes a bill requiring county prosecutors to investigate charges of child abuse immediately after receiving word of the alleged abuses. The bill states that the prosecutor begin an investigation "immediately on receipt of a telephone call or other report." The measure, approved by the Assembly earlier, also requires that the prosecutor make a report in writing on the case to the State Bureau of Children's Services.

The action was prompted by complaints of Candlewood residents of horses from a Locust avenue stable being ridden or running loose through yards and streets of the development. A variance to build a 30-unit motel on 5 acres in a highway business zone off Route 9 was granted to Helen Rogers and Barbara Cygel, here. The Committee stipulated no restaurant or housekeeping facilities would be permitted. Not Detrimental The applicants sought a variance because the use is not permitted in the zone, but the Committee found the use was not detrimental to the area. A $3,341 contract for piping of a ditch along Southard avenue was awarded to George Muller, Manasquan, the lowest of three bWdere.

Bruce Egeland, 3 Rustic Drive, was named civil defense director, replacing George As-cough, who resigned earlier.

Also held were plans for a convalescent home and 150-unit senior citizens project on about 25 acres off Old Tavern road, submitted by Leonard Schimek, Newark. Over $1 Million Both estimated projects at more than $1 million each.

Committeemen said they felt the plans should be studied further because they involve zoning changes. "If we rezone for one, we'll have to rezone for all," Mayor Charles W. Patterson said.
