ASBURY PARK EVENING PRESS (THE EVE NING NEWS), WEDNESDAY, APRIL.26. 1950 OBITUARIES DATEBOOK PhoneCompany Takacs Heads Democrats In Ocean County (Press Teletype) TOMS RIVER. Joseph Takacs, Manchester township assessor, was reelected chairman of the Ocean Lattimore Case Witness Who Fled Is Found WASHINGTON. (JP) A mysteriously missing witness in the Owen Lattimore case turned up In New York today, 20 hours after he had Board Acts On School Plans (Press Teletype) FREEHOLD. A critical report from Seymour Williams, architectural supervisor of the state department of education, on proposed expansion of Freehold high school drew equally critical comment here last night from school board members who voted approval of expansion plans.

District Clerk Ira Tilton read a lengthy letter from Mr. Williams criticizing virtually the entire expansion plan and recommending further study and preparation of a new plan. The board received authorization in the February school election to spend about $190,000 for completion of the vocational agricultural plant, other school projects and construction of a new home economics and music wing, the latter plans being the subject of criticism. Board Member William Foster observed that he had read Mr. Williams' letter "at least six times and after the sixth time of reading I still was in a complete fog." "He apparently doesn't offer any constructive criticism," remarked Member Joseph C.

Kindon, 2d. J. Hallam Conover, the board's architect who dew the plans, remarked that the state architect views such projects from an "ivory tower point of view without any Nick Daidone RED BANK. Nick Daidone, 72, of 250 Bridge avenue, died yesterday after a long illness. Born in Italy, he came to this country more than 50 years ago.

He was a watchman for the New York and Long Branch railroad. Mr. Daidone was a communicant of St. Anthony's R.C. church and St.

He is survived by four children, knowledge of governing condi tions. While admitting the plan is "far from ideal," Mr. Conover said he is convinced it is the best that can be evolved to fill the boro's needs with funds available and the pres ent limited expansion possibilities at the high school. The state architect indicated he felt the boro can support a larger-scale addition. Should a new plan be prepared, said Mr.

Foster, Mr. Williams would be "sure" to greet it with the same kind of letter and he urged that the board give its approval as long as the expansion violates no state education requirements, "and Mr. Williams hasn't cited one," said Mr. Foster. The board will receive bids on the wing and for completion of the agricultural building at a special or adjourned meeting May 22 at 8 p.m.

The plans approved with slight amendment last night will again be submitted to Mr. Williams. No action was taken by the board on the question of hiring or firing Edward Cardner, head coach of football and baseball, who has not been offered a new contract. Supervising Principal Lloyd S. Cassel, 'from whom the board is awaiting a report in the matter, has been ill for several days.

The board set May 5 as the date for a special meeting at which contracts will be awarded for the five phases of work involved in adding 12 rooms to the present building, which now has only two classrooms. The addition will enable the Knollwood school to house all the grades from pre-primary thru the eighth.

At present there are only the first four grades in the building. In setting the special meeting 10 days Hence, members of the board said they would be able to compare the bids, which architect Aylin Pierson, Metuchen, said were much lower than the estimated cost. President Russell H. Minton said the board wants to award the contracts as soon as possible to "try and make as much progress as possible. We hope to open the new building by fall." As a result of the low bids, the board discussed -the possibility of several additional improvements in the Knollwood school, which were included the bid forms as alternates.

Mr. Pierson said after the bids were read that if all of the lowest bids were to be taken there would be sufficient money left from the bond issue to allow inclusion of all the extra improvements which were added as possibilities. The bids received by the board were as follows: General construction Anthony Lewis, Maple-wood, Gumina Construction company. New Brunswick, Charles B. Hembling and Sons, Red Bank, Wallace J.

In the only other contest, Robert Neary, Dover township committee candidate, polled 43 votes to defeat Mrs. Bruno Agnoli, Toms River, for treasurer.

7 addressed approximately 125 persons who crowded the Veterans of Foreign wars post home. Seventy-one of the 130 members of the county committee attended and Mr. Cranmer, for nine years a member of the Stafford township committee, hailed the gathering as "the largest meeting I've seen in 15 years." Party leaders admitted it was the anticipated contest between Mr. Takacs, representing the northern part of the county, and Mr. Cranmer of the southern part that brought out the crowd.

But harmony reigned despite the contest, Mr. Cranmer pledging cooperation. Mr. Takacs suggested William M. Thomas, former wood township committee chairman who was elected chairman of the Democratic municipal committee in Lakewood Monday night, as county chairman.

"I can't take on added duties with the municipal chairmanship," Mr. Thomas explained. Mr. Takacs had said Lakewood shows a Democratic majority on its township committee and has the largest number of voters of any municipality in the county. Among candidates making remarks were Ray A.

Pettit and! Horace T. Grant, both of Lake-wood, seeking the offices of surrogate and freeholder, respectively. A registered Republican, Mr. Pettit expressed thanks to the Democrats, who nominated him. Making his first public appearance before the party, Mr.

Pettit told the group, "I have a little black notebook with which to battle the other side." Mr. Pettit, a weekly newspaper publisher, predicted a fiery campaign against the Thomas A. Mathis, G.O.P. forces. Mr.

Grant, also part of the Democrat's fusion slate, charged that the Mathis organization is "annoyed" by the tide against it. Mr. Agnoli spoke of independent voter's groups success in the county, particularly Lakewood, Brick and Union townships. Edwin Craige, Point Pleasant mayor candidate, said "there's no fear of T.A.M. in Point Pleasant." Also making remarks were State Committeewoman Annette Eigner and Walter Heuring, Joseph Mc-Grail and Phillip Maguire, coroner candidates.

Addison U. Moore, New Egypt, a weekly newspaper publisher, in a letter told the committee he is "striving to break up the political parasites destroying American freedom, not only in Ocean county Mr. Moore, active years ago, said his health prevented his attendance. Miller in Chair While Mr. Takacs vacated the chair, the session was conducted by Lakewood township Solicitor Milton Miller, marking the first meeting he has attended in many years.

Mr. Van Culin also pointed to his return to party activity. Mr. named the following to the executive committee: Wilmer Clayton, Carl Sonnen-feld and Mrs. Agnoli, Dover township; Mr.

Thomas and Mr. Miller, Lakewood; Jack Hoyle, Long Beach township; Mrs. Jack Levine, Tuck-erton; Mrs. Frances Modica, Point Pleasant; Mr. Craige; Frank W.

Mgr. PHONES: ASBURY PARK 2-0777 077ff Will Test Law TRENTON. (JPh-The New Jersey law which forbids strikes in public utilities faces a new test of its constitutionality, as the result of a telephone company challenge. In a court appeal against a salary boost awarded to switchboard operators arbitration board, the New Jersey Bell telephone company yesterday said the low violates the state and federal constitutions. A state arbitration board, acting under the law, last week awarded a salary increase of $2.50 per week to the company's switchboard operators.

The company said it would seek to have the salary increase upset by the courts and would argue that the law under which the arbitration board acted is unconstitutional. The company challenged the 1946 anti-strike law last year, and the courts at that time ruled in favor of the company. However the court said then that the only feature that made the law unconstitutional was its failure to specify standards to guide the arbitrators. The law was subsequently re- enacted in amended form. The amended law, which was designed to meet the court's objections, has not yet been tested in the courts.

Two major moves toward peace came quickly last night after the strike was postponed by the C.I.O.
