Jerry Doolittle, an FAA spokesman, said the grounding order came in the form of an emergency suspension of the DC-10's type certification, an apparently unprecedented step Involving a commercial jetliner. "It's too early to tell" exactly what the inspections will entail, said another FAA spokesman, Jerry Lavey.

"We're going to have to satisfy ourselves that the aircraft now in operation conform with the original design we approved. We're going to look at everything." Lavey said it also was not known how long the DC-10 fleet will be out of service. The DC-10, a tri-engine, wide-body transport built by MrDonnell Douglas carries an estimated 33,000, or 12 percent, of the nation's air travelers daily. Eight U.S. airlines operate the plane.

At least two of the eight airlines. United and Continental, said they were canceling all DC-10 flights immediately. United said it hoped that it could substitute other aircraft for the grounded jets, but Continental said it had no spare equipment. There was no immediate reaction from foreign airlines that use the DC-10 1 The FAA's order does not affect them legally.

con in you. Writ Press Bo 62IP, Asbury Pork, 07712. a WASHINGTON (AP) A Senate plan giving President Carter new powers to. deal with fuel shortages Including authority to ban home gas hoarding and to require states to meet fuel-saving targets is awaiting House action. The plan, viewed by many backers as a substitute for the president's rejected proposals for gasoline rationing and energy conservation, was approved by a 77-13 Senate vote last night.

Both New Jersey senators, Democrats Bill Bradley and Harrison A. Williams, backed the plan. Action is expected next in the House Commerce Committee, where a group of Democrats led by Rep. Toby Moffett, are vowing to replace the Senate bill with their own plan. Their proposal includes a sticker plan under which motorists might be required to leave their cars at home one day a week to save fuel.

A proposal by Sen. Lowell Weieker, for a similar but stricter driveless-day plan was rejected 79-10 by the Senate with Bradley and Williams joining the opposition. Under the overall plan passed by the Senate, the president could set national fuel saving targets during serious energy short- ages. States failing to meet these targets McDonnell Douglas' plant in Long Beach, Doolittle said. Special inspections of the engine mounts of the DC-10 came after an American Airlines DC-10 lost an engine and crashed in Chicago May 25, killing 272 persons aboard the jet and three on the ground.

It was the nation's worst air disaster. The FAA's action early today came only hours before the agency was to return to federal court here to try to convince a judge that the jumbo jet was safe to fly. Doolittle said the agency acted after receiving information last night that two American Airlines DC-lOs, previously Inspected under recent government directives, were found to have 2-inch cracks in their engine pylon mounting systems. "We obviously haven't found the cause of these cracks," said Doolittle, who called the situation "disturbing." Yesterday, Judge Aubrey E. Robinson Jr.

of U.S. District Court here initially issued but later postponed the execution of a temporary order to ground the DC-lOs. In staying his order, he said he wanted to give the FAA a chance to try to show that the jets were safe. Robinson's action was in response to a request from the Airline Passengers Association. Doolittle said the new cracks reported last night were uncovered as the planes were nearing their 100-hour inspections, which See FAA GROUNDS ALL Page A4 with their own plans would be subject to mandatory conservation orders issued and enforced by the president.

The bill sets no guidelines on what type orders Carter might issue, although backers said they could range from limits on gas sales to banning parking on city streets to encourage mass transit. The Senate rejected a suggestion that Congress be given veto power over plans the president issues despite arguments from critics like Sen. William Armstrong, that the president could easily abuse the potentially sweeping new authority the legislation would give him. But Sen. Bennett Johnston, one of the sponsors of the bill, argued that given Congress' past inability to reach agreement on key energy issues, it was probably better to let the president have this power alone.

However, senators made two exceptions: Under no circumstances could the president order gasoline stations closed on weekends nor could he impose curtailments on gasohol, a blend of gasoline and alcohol. And the Senate also gave the president a new power that wouldn't have to wait for a declaration of a serious energy shortage See BROAD CARTER POWERS Page A4 Massachusetts alone, all veterans who pass the exam are moved to the top of the candi- date list ahead of all non-veterans. The Massachusetts law was challenged as a form of sexual discrimination against women. "The history of discrimination against women in the military is not on trial in this case," Justice Potter Stewart wrote for the court. "When the totality of legislative actions establishing and extending the Massachusetts preference are considered, the law remains what it purports to be: a preference for veterans of either sex over non-veterans of either sex, not for men over women," Stewart said.

Similarly, New Jersey's 71-year-old absolute preference law was upheld by the state's Supreme Court a year ago. In that case, the state court turned back a challenge by Ruth Ballou, a Division of Consumer Affairs executive who lost her Job to a veteran who had scored much lower on a civil service qualifying test.

Thurs Night. Rood House Inn, 938 5372 Voter turnout was light in Ocean County and even lighter in Monmouth County yesterday, reflecting the lack of interest statewide in the primary election. In the ninth legislative district, Assemblymen John P. Doyle and Daniel F. Newman, D-Ocean, easily won the Democratic nominations to run for re-election.

In the only other Assembly contest in Ocean or Monmouth counties, Bordentown Mayor Joseph Malone III and Lloyd A. Carver, a three-term mayor of Lawrence Township, were chosen as the Democratic contenders in the eighth district. In perhaps the state's most hard-fought contests, Rep. James J. Florio, claimed victory in several races over Camden Mayor Angelo Errichetti in their struggle for power in Camden County.

In Monmouth County only 23,190 of the 241,572 registered voters or 9.5 per cent went to the polls. In Ocean County the figure was 24,637 of the 169,189 registered voters, or 14.5 per cent. Doyle, with 6,076 votes, and Newman, with 5,792, outpolled challenger Wesley K. Bell, a Stafford Township committeeman, by 3-to-l margin. Bell garnered 2,023 votes.

Doyle and Newman, who are seeking their fourth two-year terms, will square off in November against Republicans Hazel S. Cluck, an Ocean County freeholder, and H. George Buckwald, a Lakewood Township committeeman, and five other candidates representing minor parties or running as Independents. Mrs. Cluck received 8,532 votes and Buckwald 8,320 in running unopposed for the GOP nomination.

In the eighth district, which includes parts of Ocean, Monmouth, Burlington and "I'm very happy of course," he said of the results last night. "But now we'll have to wait on pins and needles to see what's going to happen." The margin of victory apparently was provided by former Municipal Court Judge Charles I. Brodsky, who had campaigned hard against Goldzweig and what he said were conflicts of interest involving the mayor's law practice. Brodsky received 349 votes, while Croddick won 1,454 and Goldzweig followed with 1,421. Winning the Democratic nomination to run for Township Council were Alan M.

Kes-sler, who had run on a ticket with Croddick, and Alan L. Ginsberg, who had run with Goldzweig. Ginsberg, who Joined Croddick and Kes-sler at their victory celebration last night, said he believes there is no obstacle to the three running as a unified slate in the general election. If the results stand, the three will face Republican mayoral candidate Saul Hornik and GOP council candidates Richard A. Pre-vite and James Hourihan.

None of the three was opposed in the primary. Stanley Young, a former Democratic council candidate, is running as an independent candidate for council. Former mayor Morton Salkind will be an independent candidate for mayor if he succeeds in overturning a challenge to his residency. Salkind is challenging in court a ruling by Monmouth County Election Clerk Stanley Davis that Salkind is not a resident of Marlboro Township. Superior Court Judge Merritt Lane Jr.

is scheduled to hear the case Monday. Yesterday, Salkind's wife Carole was stopped from voting when election judges challenged her residency. Allyn T. Heck, the commissioner of elections, said both Salkinds had attempted to vote. Salkind, however, said only his wife tried to vote.

Superior Court Judge Louis R. Aikins had offered Mrs. Salkind the opportunity to vote on an absentee ballot, with a provision that the ballot would be held until the residency issue could be decided. That procedure, Salkind said, would have "violated my wife's right to a secret ballot," since it would have involved adding one more vote to already known totals. Mrs.

Heck refused further comment on the challenge, saying it would be investigat- See CROPDICK GIVEN Page A4 sey Shore area.

The Army announced in late March that Fort Monmouth was considered the "preferred alternative" for the chaplain school. The decision announced yesterday followed a 30-day public comment period on the alternatives. The chaplain school, which is responsible for basic and advanced officer training of priests, rabbis and ministers, is expected to be located in Myer Hall and Building 1208 West in Fort Monmouth's Myer Hall corn-See FORT MONMOUTH Page A4 Ren Smithton formerly of Whelon Pontioc Bukk Inc.

"We'll absolutely ask for a recount," he said. "And we'll ask to have the voting machines impounded also." A subdued Croddick denied that there were any irregularities in yesterday's voting, but said it was Goldzweig's right to ask for a recall.

Mercer counties, Malone who gained national attention with his "workfare" program in Bordentown emerged the top vote getter in a three-way race for the two Democratic nominations to run against incumbent Republican Assemblymen Clifford W. Snedeker and H. James Saxton. Malone received 3,893 votes while Carver, his running mate received 3,374. Dr.

Charles H. Ryan, a Southampton Township physician, trailed with 1,354 votes. Snedeker and Saxton, unopposed for the GOP nominations, are seeking their fourth and third terms in the Assembly, respectively. There also will be one minor party candidate on the ballot. Elsewhere in the state, candidates running on a ticket fielded by Florio won the Democratic nominations in two Camden County Assembly districts over an opposing ticket backed by Errichetti.

The two factions were locked in a tight race in a third district when a computer tallying the votes malfunctioned, leaving the outcome in doubt early this morning. Four-term Assemblymen Kenneth Ge-wertz and Francis Gorman were upset by Florio's team of Daniel Dalton and Dennis Riley in the fourth district, which takes in parts of Gloucester and Burlington counties as well as part of Camden. With 126 of 154 voting units reporting in the district, Dalton had 6,999 votes; Riley, Gewertz, 4,853, and Gorman, 4,733. In the sixth district, which includes parts of Camden and Burlington counties, Assemblywomen Mary Keating Croce and Barbara Berman ran on the Florio ticket. They won renomination handily against two Errichetti- See PRIMARY VOTE LIGHT Page A4 been required had the school remained at Fort Wadsworth.

Rep. James J. Howard, said the Army's decision Indicates a "recognition by the Army that Fort Monmouth is a viable, productive installation that can bring a return on the great investment made in it over the years." Howard noted that Fort Monmouth was selected over three military installations in other states because it would have cost at least $5.2 million to place the school at those bases. Fort Monmouth also is located near non-military theological schools, said Howard. The president of one of the two largest civilian unions at Fort Monmouth described the transfer as an economic plus for the Jer- OoMy Dimphn.

Byrne Still Would End Veterans 'First' Hiring Chaplain School Move Certain A U.S. Supreme Court decision yesterday upholding laws that give an absolute lifetime preference in public jobs to military veterans will not deter Gov. Byrne from pushing to abolish that preference in New Jersey, the governor's office said.

A bill that would limit the absolute hiring advantage to severely disabled veterans "is still priority legislation," Byrne spokesman Joseph Santangelo said. By a 7-2 vote, the high court said a Massachusetts law that favors veterans for civil service jobs does not discriminate unconstitutionally against women, even though almost all veterans are men. The decision is regarded as a constitutional shield to a similar law in New Jersey, which would be repealed by a Byrne-backed measure now before the Assembly. The bill faces an uphill fight in the Legislature, where veterans groups have traditionally had a strong voice. In most other states and in federal practice, a veteran's score on a qualifying examination for government employment is part of a point system under which other factors are considered.

The relocation of the U.S. Army Chaplain Center and School, now located at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island, N.Y., will involve the transfer of 134 military and 53 civilian personnel and a daily average of 218 students. An Army spokesman said the cost of the move to Fort Monmouth will be $4.4 million.
