Police Chief Thomas J. Marks lost no time in following the orders of Prosecutor J. Victor Carton to stop all gam bling in this city, as he issued sweeping orders to police here and supervised raids yesterday afternoon that netted four persons on charges of possession of number slips and three others on dis orderly person charges when they allegedly balked police searches. Detective Joseph Purcell, Act ing Detective George Naylor and Patrolman Henry Feeney, on raiding junkets in the Second ave nue and Broadway and Belmont avenue areas, arrested Orin M. Brewer, 180 Belmont avenue; Jac ob Harris, 333 Garfield court; Archie Greenwood, 377 Hendrick- son street, and Nathaniel Morris, 221 Seaview avenue, on the num bers charges.

All were.fined $50 in special police court late yesterday afternoon by Recorder Eldon C. Presley. Held on the disorderly person charges when they, allegedly created a disturbance and balked at police searches, Patrolman Feeney reported, were Thomas Dean, Ol-lie Dean and Mitchel Dean, all of 123 Laurel street. Knife, Dice Confiscated A knife in the possession of Greenwood was confiscated by po lice and a pair of dice carried by Morris was also taken. Greenwood, who had $215 in large bills in his possession, paid his fine immediate ly, while Harris, Morris and Brew er were held in jail last night and ordered to pay by this morning or face 30-day jail sentences.

The "air raid" of the Georgian Court college campus here earlier this week apparently paid off for Miss Mary Ellen O'Keefe, who was elected by a landslide as president of the student council on Wednesday. Miss O'Keefe, of Spring Lake, hired a plane last Tuesday and had the pilot fly over the campus and drop pamphlets marked, Mary Ellen O'Keefe for president" It coincided with the girls' lunch time, when the entire student body is assembled in one place. The pilot made one flight over the campus and dropped a handful of pamphlets, evidently to see how the wind would affect the flight of the paper.

After getting his wind direction he flew in twice again and dropped several thousand circulars which fluttered down to the feet of the watching girls. Long Branch Lets Housing Contracts (Staff Correspondent) LONG BRANCH.

The Joseph (See LONG BRANCH Page 3) As-ks Errors Court to Reject Krcnier Brief for Referennce to Investigation (Special to The Press) TRENTON. Attempts to con nect the current investigation of Asbury Park city affairs with the Whirl-O-Ball litigation were rapped as impertinent and inflammatory" yesterday by Milton M. Unger, special city counsel, as the 13-month-old case was argued in errors and appeals court. Mr. Unger asked the state's highest court to suppress the brief tendered by Ward Kremer, Whirl-O-Ball attorney, for its references to the investigation, which was or dered last June by ex-Justice Joseph B.

Perskie. Chancelor A. Dayton Oliphant, presiding, instructed Mr. Unger to put his motion to censor in writing within a week and ruled that Mr. Kremer would be allowed a week after to reply.

Attacking the city's system of awarding beach concession leases without advertising for bids, Mr. Kremer referred in his errors court brief to the probe being conducted by Franklin H. Berry, a deputy attorney general. "No Indictments Voted The December grand jury in Monmouth county handed up a presentment arly this month, reporting it had found no indictments after hearing Mr. Berry and his witness but had decided to score several city procedures, including the leasing methods.

Justice Albert E. Burling subsequently reopened the investigation, con- See LINK Page 2) Action Urged To Halt Crime Declaring that criminals 'graduate from juvenile delinquency. Brigadier Edward Carey told the Salvation Army association of Asbury Park at its third annual dinner at the Marine grill last night that wayward children are the product of harmful forces that are thrust upon them. He cited the acquittal of 28 men in the South Carolina lynch trial, the widespread disregard of law and order, and the high divorce rate as factors that must be corrected if our children are to become the hope of the future." Brigadier Carey, who is territorial young people's secretary, urged an expansion of young people's programs and improved guidance in the home, the school, and the church as a means of averting a national crime bill that is $500 million greater than is spent on education, charity, and the support of churches.

(JP) President Truman's difficulty in finding a top- notch man to run the new Ameri can aid program in Greece threat ens some delay in getting the op eration under way. The state department already is reported to be acquiring a $100 million RFC loan to finance the start of the $400 million undertak ing to buttress Greece and Turkey against any extension of Soviet power over those countries. But officials made it clear that despite the availability of money and the authority granted by Congress in the bill which Mr. Truman signed yesterday, nothing substan tial can be accomplished until an administrator is appointed. At least five men have been considered but each has proved -unavailable.

Speculation centers around Paul Hoffman, president of the Studebaker corporation. No hitch is anticipated in carrying out the $100 million Turkish part of the program. That involves mainly supplying military equipment to the Turkish army under the supervision of Ambassador Edwin C. Wilson at Ankara. But the program for Greece embraces not only military assistance, but economic rehabilitation.

In addition to $300 million under the aid program the Greeks are to receive $50 million in direct relief funds under a separate bill awaiting the President's signature. Hotel to Close 8 in to J. Victor Carton warned a laree gathering of chiefs and detectives that gambling protection and tip-offs, such as he said were given by Keansburg police during a county raid last year, will lead to charges against the police. Charging that in many towns police themselves are among the heaviest bettors on horses and numbers, the prosecutor declared that "a lot of members of vour own departments are doing business with these racketeers." "The gambling and racketeering element cannot exist in your mu nicipality without your knowing it." said Mr. Carton and he told the assemblage flatly that if it continues with the knowledge of ponce, ana he can prove it, he will prosecute police chiefs, police commissioners or whatever other authorities are responsible.

Raps Cops "There are some municipalities that didn't show up here that should have," he remarked after a roll call. He called particular attention to the absence of Keansburg officers and asked: "Aren't they interested in enforcing the law up there?" There were several raids there last year, said Mr. Carton, and he charged the police department went out and tipped off the gamblers. If it happens again "and we can prove it," said the prosecutor, the police will face charges. He deplored the necessity for the county detectives to slip into some towns and the uselessnes at times of the county police radio because local authorities use it to spread the warning of an impending raid.

Curtis, club president, today branded as false and unfounded charges made during the session. Statements of support of Township Committeeman Leroy Armstrong in the coming primary election were issued at the meeting, during which it was charged that opposition to Mr. Armstrong had grown out of his refusal, along with two other members of the township body, to vote for reappointment of J.

Elmer Matthews as township solicitor at the com mittee's organization meeting Jan. 1. Mr. Armstrong, according to a published report of the meeting, charged that Mr. Curtis, brother of Committeeman William W.

Curtis. had told him the party would "get him" in the primary for his failure to vote for Mr. Matthews' reappointment. The club president said today that he never made such a statement. Neither he nor his brother, he said, were present to answer the charge.

Mr. Curtis said it is customary that he, as president, call any meet ings of the club and instruct the clerk, Leonard Turtora, to mail notices to all members.

Opdyke said the heavy buses, which, he maintained, speed thru the boro at 50, 55 and 60 miles per hour, heavily damage the road way. The commission commended the Asbury Park Press and the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce for their efforts in behalf of improved railroad service and against in creased fares.
