(Press Photo) MILLER DEATH MOURNED for the freeway plans to take shape before it could begin its own improvements. The freeway will cross the parkway" near the Raritan River.

Because of the expected increase in traffic, the parkway, effective tomorrow, will close indefinitely its northbound exit ramp and its southbound entrance ramp at New Brunswick avenue, Woodbridge. Those are ramps a short distance north of the Raritan River, where there is considerable criss-crossing of local traffic to get from one ramp to the other. The closing of the ramps, which will not affect through traffic, is being done to reduce traffic hazards. "This has been the worst designed area on the Garden State Parkway," Mr. Tonti said.

"It's an abominable design." The major improvements being made are expected to correct the situation, and until they are completed Mr. Tonti said he was asking all motorists to "understand the temporary nature" of the problem, to drive cautiously, and to follow the signs. "They should allow themselves 10 minutes more to get to work in the morning, and tell their wives they'll be 10 minutes later at night," he said. There was disagreement among officials present, however, whether through traffic to and from the Shore would experience delays that long. At the parkway's Raritan Toll Plaza, toll collectors will be handing out notices that read: "Please note that after September 18, 1969, at noon, the Garden State Parkway will be directly connected to the New Jersey Turnpike northbound as well as southbound.

"Thereafter, if headed for the Turnpike, stay right on the Parkway to reach it by way of new northbound Exit 129 about a mile north of the Raritan River. "There will be no need to leave the Parkway at Exit 127 for Route 9 to pick up the Turnpike. The new Parkway Exit 129 up ahead will take you right to the Turnpike for, travel north or south." scheduled for 11 a.m. tomorrow. Turnpike and parkway officials will be on hand for the ribbon cutting, and at 12:30 p.m.

they will have lunch together at the Old Orchard Country Club, Eaton-town. The Turnpike Authority paid the entire cost of building the new interchange, which will connect the turnpike to the free parkway section that is under the jurisdiction of the state Department of Transportation. The new interchange is the first major project to be completed under a turnpike expansion program costing about $500 million and covering a 30-mile section from Edison north. Until now, there has been only a partial direct link between the turnpike and the parkway. Motorists driving north on the turnpike have had direct access to the parkway's northbound roadway, and those driving south on the parkway have been able to transfer directly to the turnpike's southbound lanes.

Now full north and south transfer movements will be permitted, except that a motorist driving south on the parkway and wanting to switch to the turnpike's northbound roadway will have to wait about six weeks before that final ramp is completed. The parkway's new conec-tion to the turnpike from its northbound roadway has been designated Exit 129. Workmen finished putting up the new exit signs yesterday. The parkway widening project was supposed to have been tied in to toe turnpike's work on the new interchange, so that both projects could have been completed simultaneously. Mr.

Tonti said the parkway's two-year delay was caused by the Department of Transportation's delay in starting construction of the Route 440 Freeway, a new route that will eventually run from the New Jersey side of Staten Island's Outerbridge Crossing to Route 1. Work on the freeway is now In progress, but Mr. Tonti said, the parkway had to wait From Page 1 The only real relief will be obtained upon completion of a $30 million parkway widening program that is now underway but which probably will take two years to complete. The parkway is being widened to five lanes in each direction from the Raritan Toll Plaza north to the area of the new turnpike interchange. Although the distance involved is only three miles, the work to be done includes widening the parkway's Raritan River bridge, which is a major undertaking.

The new parkway-turnpike interchange, which cost the New Jersey Turnpike Authority $26 million, is about one-half mile south of the turnpike's Route 9 entrance. That entrance is to be closed when the new interchange, designated Turnpike Interchange 11, opens. The official opening is Assemblyman Joseph Az-zotina R-Monmouth, chairman of the Legislative Commission on Unfair Advertising and Packaging, conducted the public hearing yesterday.

Miller was an active worker in the Mathis Republican Organization and in 1959 was the party's choice to replace Freeholder James who did not seek election. He subsequently won in the general elections in 1962, 1965 and 1968. He had also served as freeholder director. Mr. Miller had been ser-geant-at-arms of the Ocean County District Court for sev-.

eral years before he was named undersheriff in 1956. Mr. Miller was bom in Akron, Ohio, and. moved to the Shore after naval duty at Lakehurst Naval Air Station during World War II. He served two years as Ocean County civil defense director after returning to civilian life.

The couple has two' children; a son, Gregory, and a daughter, Robin both at home. iiiiM Funeral arrangements were incomplete last night. improving gradually. He is now able to eat and a bulletin said his body is regaining its metabolic balance.

Freeholder Miller's condition began deteriorating Saturday when his condition changed from fair to critical. His breathing was aided mechanically during the last 48 hours. Meanwhile, two inspectors from the Federal Aviation Agency's North. Philadelphia office examined engines from the Cessna 337 Skymaster and one of them said he could find nothing, wrong with either motor. The inspector repeated his belief the plane must have lost power to crash nearly a mile downwind from the Airpark runway.

The inspector, Charles McMillen, said he may interview Glenn Miller, a professional pilot, -today. Freeholder Miller was also a director of the First State Bank of Ocean County and of the Surf Building and Loan Association, Seaside Heights. He was president of the Ocean County Council of Republican Clubs and was a former president of the Dover Township Men's Republican Club. He was a member of 'the Lionst the American From Page 1 served our people very well for over 10 years. He will -be missed by his very many friends." Assemblyman John Brown said "Beyond' any question Bob was the most astute poli-tican in Ocean County and as 6uch he will be missed by our organization.

My family's prayers are for his wife, Marilyn, and their two children." "We're all going to miss fiim said Stanley Grover, chairman of the Republican county executive committee, fit's a very sad thing. It's going to be a big loss." Brick Township Mayor John McGuckin recalled major projects during Mr. Miller's political career. "Bob led the drive on many things," he said, "the airport, the county college and many other things. I'm sure he'll be missed for the work he has done.

I feel very badly as everyone in the county does." Glenn Miller, also of Toms River but no relation to the late freeholder, was a passen-, ger in the plane and received serious burns. A hospital spokesman said Glenn Miller's condition is still fair but he is Joseph lacovo, Brant Beach, Long Beach Township, made a point of the misleading advertising used by some film processing firms. r- i 1 1 1 i i i 1 1 i 1 1 1 1 ii mm-. wufif PACKAGE From Page 1 were "passive" on the change from cardboard meat trays to clear plastic, that workers in the five markets she visited complained the plastic trays cut their hands and made meat discolor and spoil. "With a plastic tray the blood from the meat collects at the bottom and turns the meat bad," she explained.

"Cardboard trays absorb the blood." Sen. Franck C. Italiano, R-Camden, who professed no stand on the meat wrapping issue, appeared to favor plastic wrappers as he questioned Miss Ksiazak. "It's not the intention of packaging to improve the quality of meat," Sen. Italiano said, "but to let the people know what they're buying." He characterized the purpose of the commission hearings as "finding ways to let you know what you're buying and to get what you pay As far as the claims of cut fingers was concerned, the Camden senator said: "That's not a problem for the consumer, that's a problem for the merchant." Assemblyman Peter R.

Garibaldi, R-Middlesex, said mer- chant's injuries from plastic tray -could possibly increase the cost of meat. He asked Miss Ksiazak, who describes herself as a "prospective if she would favor a law requiring clear wrapping of meat. "At this time I do not think It would be wise for the state to adopt clear packaging," she responded. Mrs. Laura Rudolph, Irving Place, Red Bank, testified she favored clear packaging.

She said merchants sometimes put poorer cuts of meat on the cardboard covered bottom of a package and the consumer wrongly assumes they are getting a choice cut. She said the "cover-up" occurs particularly with packages of ham with fatty sec- tions hidden, at the market. Another witness complained about a film processing company that promised wallet sizedt photos and refunds "to the penny." "I Received pictures an inch and a quarter by an inch and i a quarter," said Joseph. Ia-j 35th Brant Beach, i Long-Beach Township, "and I that's' entirely too small for wallet sized." Mrs. Lloyd G.

Sidwell, 71 Oak PlaceFair Haven, had a stronger complaint. She said a car she bought from a Mon-. mouth County dealer wasnt as advertised. Mrs. Sidwell saud she bought a "nine passenger station wagon, an executive model in A-l condition as the first owner." She said she examined the car later and found 20 faults.

Klein, a non-legislative member of the commission, suggested that a law, be enacted for a three-day "cooling off period" where dissatisfied car buyers could return a car without penalty of breaking a sales agreement. Mrs. Lorraine Saggen, 5 Florence Middletown Township, complained that a car1 dealer in the county signed an agreement to sell her a car and told her the following day the car had been sold.

"They' never even said I They don't even know those words," Mrs. Saggen ssid Mr." Garibaldi and others ex pressed disappointment at the small turnout of 15 persons at the hearing. "I would have liked to have seen a larger crowd," he said, "but we don't have any money to work with or advertise.

Clear-Packs Urged by J. Democrats TRENTON (ffl The Democratic state convention adopted a "clear-packaging" plank for fts platform today, but delayed consideration of a far-reaching civil rights statement The convention, which had been in recess since June, scheduled still another meeting for Tuesday in New Brunswick to take up the civil rights proposal offered at the last minute by Negro Assemblyman George Richardson, Newark'. Richardson's plank calls for "opening of the building trades" to blacks and Puerto Ricans, appointment of more blacks to "positions of final authority in state government," an antislumlord law, and establishment of a special arm of the governor's office to investigate citizen complaints against governmental units including' police agencies. The convention adopted a resolution offered by Democratic Assembly candidates Richard L. Bonnello and Gordon N.

WP) Stiffer border inspections and radar-equipped pursuit planes will be used in a crackdown on the flow of drugs from across the Mexican border, according to Richard G. Kleindienst, assistant U.S. attorney general.

"We hope to drive the price of marijuana so high it will be un available to our school and college students," Kleindienst said.

Mexico has agreed to help wipe out the drug source.
