The new classification system will result in much higher premiums for some motorists and much lower premiums for others, irrespective of the changes in basic rates. The basic rates are those charged adult male drivers who do not use their cars for business.

The basic rates are for bodily injury liability, in the amounts of $10,000 for one person and $20,000 for one accident, and for property damage liability in the amount of $5,000. Rates Cited In the "Long Branch territory," which comprises 32 Monmouth County municipalities, the basic rates will be increased as follows: Bodily injury, from $44.20 to $47, and property damage, from $17.85 to $20 for a total increase of $4.95.

West Lone Branch, and School Field POINT PLEASANT There'll be no helicopters landing at the high school athletic field next summer. If they did it would cost the Board of Education more money in insurance premiums. The Board, at its Nov.

10 meeting, passed a resolution al lowing the state marine police to land a helicopter on the field providing it would not increase insurance costs. But since then, says Mrs. Irene Whitten, Board secretary, the school insurance agent notified the Board premiums would go up. Used in Patrols The police use the helicopter to patrol the coast during the summer. They average three flights a week and wanted to put one of their patrolmen aboard the craft at the school field because it is close to their headquarters on the Point Pleasant Canal.

Chief Alvin M. Walsh said yes terday the helicopter will now land at the Sea Girt National Guard' Camp, or Monmouth County or Lakewood airports. We 11 just have to make the extra run, that's all," he said. Last summer the helicopter landed on the athletic field, with the Board's informal approval. But for next year Chief Walsh wanted a permit from the state Bureau of Aeronautics.

lo get that he had to get the Board's formal approval. Withdrew Request After hearing of the Board's concern over increased insur ance, Chief Walsh said, he with drew his request in a Nov. 12 letter. The Board also was con cerned over a report a permit from the Bureau of Aeronautics would allow any helicopter to land on the field. Chief Walsh said that would not have been true; the permit would have been good only for his flights.

"I still said. don't believe it," he Union Strikes Nestle Plant In Freehold FREEHOLD Some 180 members of the Stationary Engineers Union, Local 68, have walked off their jobs at Nestle Co. here. Reasons for the walkout, according to a union spokesman, were disagreements with company policy on wages, promotions, fringe benefits, sick leave, hospitalization, and retirement. The union's two-year contract expired at midnight Monday, he said.

He said union officials met with the management Monday night, at which time management presented its terms for a new contract. The terms were not acceptable, he said. Demands Formulated Union officials from Newark met here yesterday to define employes' demands, he said. The spokesman said the main issue is over the plant's policy on job advancement. Policy has been that a man advanced to a higher paying job was "frozen" there for one year.

He quoted the management as saying it would require only a six-mnnth freeze under a new contract. "We don't want any freeze," he said. He said employes felt they should be allowed to bid for higher-paying jobs whenever they want to. Manager Refuses Comment Ernest A. Hanna, plant manager, refused comment on the strike.

"I know nothing about it officially," he said. Asked about it unofficially, he answered, "There have been some rumors floating around." The union spokesman said the workers were also concerned about management's plan to close the plant for a week starting Monday because there isn't enough work. Employes disagree, he said, and feel they are being unfairly treated after working 7-day, 12-hour shifts last year when another of the company's plants was closed because of an explosion. "They're trying to tell us that business is bad, but we won't swallow that," he said. reserved decision after holding a hearing on the proposals.

George C. Skillman, chairman of the local government board, sa'd a decision will be announced in a "short while." The school board is planning to hold a two-part referendum Jan. 12. Voters will be asked to approve a $2 million bond issue for an addition to the high school and five grade school projects and a $297,000 bond issue for the addition of all-purpose rooms to three grade schools. The entire proposal has been scaled down from an original figure of $2.8 million.

The need for the nine projects was recently certified by Dr. Frederick M. Raubinger, state commissioner of education. Tax Hike Seen Representatives of the school board estimated that the building proposal, if approved, would add 25 to 30 cents for each $100 assessment to the local tax rate, with new ratables possibly offsetting part of the increase. A debt statement submitted to the local government board said the school district's existing debt is $3,980,000, which is in excess of the district's legal debt limit.

Issuance of an additional in school bonds would more than use up the municipality's available borrowing margin of $1,055,012. Jasper Johnson, auditor for the school Board, said the board would hope to market the bonds at an interest rate of 4 per cent a year. R. Thomas Jannarone, superintendent of schools, reported that 1,500 pupils in grades one through three are on double session. He predicted that nearly 4,700 pupils will be enrolled in the grade schools by 1968 and more than 2,200 students will be in the high school by 1976.

The proposed $725,000 high school addition would consist of an auditorium and an enlarged cafeteria, described as essential to relieve the pressure on other facilities in the school. The auditorium would have folding doors so it could be used for three separate study halls. Traffic Lights OnTemporary Basis Sought FREEHOLD The state Highway Department will be asked to install a temporary traffic light system at a five-corner intersection in Lincroft, Middletown Township. The intersection is formed by Newman Springs, Phalanx, Mid-dletown-Lincroft, and Swimming River roads. The intersec- tion is guarded by a blinker llgnt DUt nas Deen tne Scene of many accidents.

The Board of Freeholders, which has been trying for several years to have a traffic con'rol system ins ailed there, said yesterday it will press for a temporary so'ution until some-tlvng permanent can be worked out.

The ban is intended as a "holding action," Mayor Harry B. Crook Jr. said, to allow the Board time to study its zoning and building codes.

A comprehensive new ordinance is expected in about six weeks. The ban was authorized be- cause of concern over a pro- posal to bund a 32-unit garden apartment in East End avenue on property owned bv the J. T. O'Neil New York. The Board of Adjustment had denied the builder a variance.

The suit was filed by Assemblyman Patrick J. McGann on behalf of township Mayor Marvin R.

Clayton, a Democrat, who lost his Committee seat to Republican Laurence Michne- vich by 11 votes. The election was decided by the absentee ballots. The case will be heard by Superior Court Judge Elvin R. Simmill Dec. 17.

Mr. McGann said the suit questions the right of some of the Pxs0 who cast absentee ballots to vote. It also challenges the validity of some ballots on the basis of a comparison of ballot flap signatures with the corresponding voting registration signatures. The suit was filed after a recount requested by the Democrats resulted in Mayor Clayton picking up only one more vote. In the election Mayor Clayton led his opponent by eight votes after the machine ballots were counted.

But Mr. Michnevich emerged the winner on the strength of a 63-43 edge in the absentee ballots. Should the election stand the Democrats will lose control of the Township Committee for the first time in three years. They assumed control in January 1963 when Committeemen David 1 Mitchell and Frank Vogel took office and joined Mayor Clayton who was elected in 1962.

Free parking will be provided on a lot owned by the Parking Authority on Spring-wood avenue just west of the railroad. The city demolished old buildings on the site and graded the site for parking. The lot will hold 70 cars.

The city is not enforcing street parking meters until Jan. 1 so shoppers can park free during the Christmas shopping season. The employe parking lot is being provided so street places will be left free for shoppers, City Manager Kendall H. Lee said. The four parking meter enforcement officers have been assigned to direct traffic and school crossing guard duty until enforcement of meters starts again, the city manager said.

Crescenzo said the Coun cil's request to the Board of Education to keep school buses off the bridge was warranted and timely, "but we stopped short of the mark." The Board changed bus routes Monday night. "Danger Still There" "The danger is still there," he said. "We're tired of waiting." The bridge was temporarily repaired after it collapsed in March 1962. But the state Highway Department is still working on plans to replace the 37-year-old span, a department spokesman said Nov. 19.

Police Chief William Beecroft asked buses to avoid the bridge two days earlier, because its 20-foot-wide roadway is too narrow for buses to safely pass oncoming trucks or other heavy vehicles. He fears a bus might be forced over the railing into the 20- to 40-foot-deep Point Pleasant canal. Officials also object to pedestrians using the bridge because it has no walkway. Its western approach curves sharply, leaving a blind spot just before a vehicle crosses the bridge. Early department plans met stiff opposition, but a proposal for a 25-foot-high vertical lift span that could open to 70, were well received.

The Council will write Gov. Richard J. Hughes, the Highway Department, state legislators from Ocean County and the Board of Freeholders, asking action. The Council adopted ordinances to remove the limit of seven liquor licenses in the borough, because hotel licenses can't be limited anyway; and to set a rate of 50 cents for each 1,000 gallons of water when home meters take effect Jan. 1.

Heroism Medal Awarded To Point Pleasant Man LONG BRANCH Councilman Edgar N.

Dinkelspiel will nor resign as president of the Long Branch Historical Museum in the face of a threat to withhold $1,023 due the museum for restoration costs. The amount is the balance due the museum from the $1,523 net proceeds of an April 11 dance at the National Guard Armory "for installing weather proofing, heating and sanitary facilities in the 85-year-old El-beron building. Seven U.S. presidents worshipped in the former church when it was known as St. James Episcopal Chapel.

Mayor Milton F. Untermeyer Jr. was general chairman, and Benson Gold treasurer of the dance committee. Mr. Gold confirmed yesterday that he and Mr.

Untermeyer were dissatisfied with the way monies have been used to restore the former Church of the Presidents. Money Held In Bank "The mayor promised the committee no money would be turned over unless and until they changed officers at the top," Mr. Gold said. The money is deposited in a local bank, he added. "A small fortune has been put into that building over the years and just look at it.

There is also an urgent need to review the articles in the museum." Mr. Dinkelspiel said the museum officers agreed to establish the museum as a post-Civil War museum containing anything of historical value after that period. He and Howard K. Hayden, museum historian, pass upon the historical value of articles to be placed in the edifice, he said. Some of the articles in the sin's bullet; old coins, hand written deeds, and the first horse-drawn hose reel used by the Atlantic Engine and Truck Co.

Re-Elected This Year Mr. Dinkelspiel, one of the founders of the non-profit institution, has been its president 13 years and was re-elected to a four-year term last January. "I have no intention of stepping down," he said yesterday. "Mr. Untermeyer came to me and asked if they could raise money for the museum.

We didn't go to them. Another thing, we were told the committee was going to raise between $12,000 and $15,000 through the dance, journals and a raffle. To say the least ws were disappointed." Mr. Hayden said the museum will not fall down if the money is not received, "but I think the many people who worked in good faith can't be let down." The liquor license permit for the dance stated specifically, "for the benefit of the Church of the Presidents, Elberon, N.J., to restore building as a church museum," he pointed out. Board to Meet Soon He said the board will probably meet before the holidays and at that time decide whether to institute legal action to obtain the money.

He emphasized that all work and payment of bills are author: by the entire board, not just by Mr. Dinkelspiel. "From what I've seen, this board has worked very well together. The president isn't a dictator type, he added. Other officers are: J.
