2 ASBURY PARK EVENING PRESS, Mor. 7, 1969 Local Votes OBITUARIES Nixon Given Public Employes Service Bill Dies sons entering the Army six-month reserve program. He noted that the bill changes the present law, which provides paid leaves for 'field training," to include "active duty or active duty for training." He pointed out that the armed forces reservists are currently entitled to paid leaves under the "field training" provision when they attend two-week summer camps. Gov. Hughes said the bill purports to treat the reservists in the same manner as members of the National Guard, who now are entitled to paid leaves also when they are called to active duty by the governor.

But he said the measure would actually give the reservists an advantage over the guardsmen. He explained that there is no provision for paid leaves when guardsmen are "federalized" in a national emergency. The measure would give that benefit to the reservists if they are called up by the federal government. The governor said the inten Riordan, Retired Postmaster SHREWSBURY Mrs. Marie C.

Mafia Link Outlined In N.Y. Probe NEW YORK UP) The former vice president of a barnkrupt wholesale drug company has told state probers of hiring as a warehouse guard, a convicted mobster wh acted as go-between for higher-ups in the underworld. Benjamin Goldfinger, a former official of the Progressive Drug testified yesterday before the state Investigation Commission, which is looking into Mafia links with legitimate business enterprises.

Goldfinger was granted immunity by the commission after SIC counsel said his testimony was "vital to our investigation on conspiracy, larceny, extortion, perjury, and violation of the monopoly laws." The said Dominick Bando. an ex-convict, was hired as a guard at $150 a week and that another company official, Larry Press, told him to give Bando an extra $100 a week to "insure labor peace" after a Teamsters Union local replaced an AFL-CIO union as bargaining agent. The secret payments to Bando were taken out of daily receipts, were listed as "travel and entertainment" expenses, and "went to someone downtown," Goldfinger testified. Bando went to jail after behg convicted of assault and con spiracy in the $956 acid-blinding of labor columnist Victor Riesel. NEPTUNE From Page 1 students attended.

Some Negro students at yesterday's session became unruly when the new proposals were read, he said, and police were called to remove the disruptive pupils. This was confirmed last night by township police. Huey said the following points would be aired today: 1. Desire for a "uniform, equitable discipline" for students. 2.

Protest of "disruption of Wednesday classes by the demonstrators." The youth said, "We did not move out of our home rooms for an hour and 15 minutes. Students could not concentrate during classes because of an undercurrent of tension." 3. Desire to "openly display our concern on school issues, and take pride in the school." 4. Prostest of "unquestioned concessions made to a small minority." The student leader said, "Perhaps Dr. Christie acted too hastily in signing" the agreement.

5. Advocation of "an integrated student union to review student grievances and promote understanding among students, faculty, and administration." 6. Desire for "revision of the Student Council dress code to create a more moderate code." Huey said, "Many students black and white did not like the former code." The students expected Mr. Ciricolo to formally recognize the proposal and forward it to Dr. Christie for consideration, the youth said.

"We have been assured these points will be considered," he said. Huey said the principal told him police would be "on hand" today. "He said the troublemakers are going to be taken care of. Any attempt to counter-demonstrate will be quite adequately discouraged," the youth said. He said he did not think the meeting would increase tension at the school.

A faculty member at the school said only a small percentage of the student body "is causing the trouble." Huey added, "There are many black parents who are upset with what went on Wednesday. Some Negro students attended the meeting (yesterday), were very orderly, and stayed through the end." But Art Chapman, a senior, who is Student Council president, said, "Conditions will only be worse after the meeting (today). "I think the two factions will be drawn apart. I think the blacks will feel resentful that the whites were given school time for the meeting," he said. The meeting is scheduled to begin simultaneously with the day's first class period.

School officials could not be reached last night for comment. Elderly Woman Killed UNION TOWNSHIP M-A 91-year-old woman burned to death yesterday in her apartment here when her clothes apparently caught fire. Fire officials in this Union County community reported that Mrs. Ella March of the Normandy Apartments apparently was cooking when her clothes caught fire. 1 Anti-China March Held By Soviets MOSCOW' -UH After four days of massive demonstrations in Peking against the Soviet Union, thousands of Russian students and workers marched today on the Chinese Embassy in Moscow.

The crowd here was consid erably less than those reported tn Peking. I Five sound trucks mounted with loudspeakers were parked in front of the embassy to lead the demonstrators in chanting "Shame on the clique of Mao Tse-tung." As the demonstration began. about 2,000 persons blocked streets leading to the embassy, and about 400 busloads of dem onstrators were reported mov ing toward the embassy. There was no violence although one bottle of purple ink was hurled against the embassy's stone fence. Twenty military trucks that had carried militiamen to the scene were parked on a side street.

The demonstration was the first here in reaction to the clash between Soviet and Chinese troops on the Far Eastern border between the two countries last Sunday. An unspecified number of soldiers on both sides were killed. The demonstrations in Peking and other Chinese cities have been reported only briefly in the Soviet press. Chinese broadcasts reported that 16 million Chinese participated. Broadcasts from Peking made no mention of any demonstrations in China today.

Instead they spoke of various organizations. In Olbania, Japan, and Australia denouncing the "Soviet revisionists' armed provocation." The broadcasts also continued a propaganda line depicting Czechoslovakia and Mongolia as victims of "the new czars" in Moscow. Here in Moscow, about 200 uniformed police were lined up shoulder to shoulder in front of the Chinese embassy to prevent the crowd from surging onto the grounds.

By Congress WASHINGTON tfl President Nixon has been dealt the first legislative setback of his six-week-old administration refusal by the House Ways and Means Committee to refigure the national debt ceiling as he requested. Instead of a redefined limit giving the Treasury 17 billion in new. borrowing power, the committee approved yesterday a temporary $12 billion increase. It will get the Treasury through some tight squeezes anticipated for next month and late summer.

But in political terms it means the new administration will have to come back to the Democratic-controlled Congress early in 1970 to ask for another increase and face quizzing on its economy record. The arrangement Nixon sought was expected to postpone debt limit problems at least two years and possibly indefinitely. In the past, Republicans have teamed with conservative Democrats to keep Democratic administrations returning annually to Congress when they wanted to raise the ceiling. The present limit is $365 billion. The committee approved a $12 billion increase through June 30, 1970.

Nixon had proposed a rearrangement of the debt subject to limitation that would have resulted in a $300 billion ceiling, while at the same time giving the Treasury the additional $17 billion borrowing authority.

Union to Seek $100 Minimum NEW YORK lifl-The head of a union with many unskilled and semiskilled workers says his organization will seek to reopen all contracts, regardless of their expiration dates, to seek a $100 minimum weekly wage. David Livingston, president of District 65 of the AFL-CIO Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, said a recent survey showed that 41 per cent of its members now earn less than $100 a week. He said several of the local units already have approved demands for reopening contracts and the final decision on the move will come at the group's convention, beginning March 21 in Monticcllo, N.Y.

Livingston said convention approval of the move was "an absolute ccntainty." Press State House Bureau TRENTON A bill that would provide greater financial benefits for public employes when they are called to active military duty was rejected by Gov. Hughes yesterday. The governor filed the bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Louis R. Aikins, R-Monmouth, in the state library without his approval, a pocket veto. The measure would grant state and municipal employes leaves of absence with pay for up to 90 days when they were called to active duty as armed forces reservists.

Mr. Aikens is an officer in the Naval Reserve. A co-sponsor, Assemblyman Joseph Azzolina, R-Monmouth, also is a Naval Reserve officer. Gov. Hughes said the bill would grant paid leaves to per- Module Gets Life-or-Death Test Today SPACE CENTER, Houston tfl The Apollo 9 mission became a life-or-death proposition for two of the astronauts today: rendezvous with the command ship or perish.

The spidery lunar ferry module (LEM), piloted by Air Force Col. James A. McDivitt and civilian astronaut Russell L. Schweickart, could not re-enter earth's atmosphere without burning up. Thus caution and safety were the watch words in planning the maneuver most crucial in the entire 10-day Apollo 9 flight.

Putting the LEM to the supreme test, the flight plan called for McDivitt and Schweickart to uncouple it from the nose of Apollo 9's mother ship, piloted by Col. David R. Scott, and ease away about 7:40 a.m. EST. The plan required the LEM to fly two football-shaped paths around the mother ship, cruise to a point about 110 miles away, then rendezvous and hook up again some six hours later.

Twice during the maneuvr, at the end of each loop, there would be opportunities to cut the rendezvous short and dock early, once after about 1V4 hours' separation and again nearly two hours later. Schweickart was equipped with 'an oxygen-filled backpack, capable of supporting one man up to four hours, which he used yesterday during a space walk. But the only emergency oxygen supply available for McDivitt was a container able to keep him alive about 30 minutes, called an ops for oxygen purge system. If docking was not possible, but the two spacecraft could get close together, the plan called for Schweickart to wear the backpack and McDivitt to hop across with the ops. "It's kind of Buck Rogers stuff, but there's no other way home," Schweickart observed.

ALIGNING From Page 1 he said, was the only way to make the districts of equal size. The other appeal came from Peter Dugan, a Bayoraie lawyer. He asked that the district encompassing the southern portion of Hudson County be reduced by deleting one of the Jersey City wards attached to it. He argued that the population of the district was far greater than the others in the county and that some adjustment had to be made. Murderer Gets Unwanted Stay WASHINGTON UP) Supreme Court Justice William O.

Douglas has granted an unwanted stay of execution to a convicted killer scheduled to die next Wednesday in San Quentin prison. Attorneys for Robert Lee Massie, 26, persuaded Douglas to spare him from the gas chamber until they could file a formal appeal, despite Massie's flat statement that "I don't want a stay of execution." Massie received the death sentence for the Jan. 7, 1965, claying of Mrs. Mildred Weiss, 48, during a robbery attempt in the driveway of her home in San Gabriel, Calif. 8.8 Get $25,000 WASHINGTON The Census Bureau estimates that 8.8 per cent of American households enjoy incomes of $25,000 or more a year.

"It would go beautifully with everything I have, except my husband's income." tion behind the present law is "to insure that when New Jersey citizens are called up on the state's business, that state and municipal employes should not be penalized by an action of their own employer." Therefore, he said, the federal government should bear the full cost of mobilizing tne armea forces in a national emergency. Gov. Hughes said he had no objections with another provi sion of the bill which would give the same benefits during the two-week training periods to Coast Guard Reservists. Sgt. Bottger's Condition Is Reported Fair POINT PLEASANT Sgt.

Charles Bottger, an Ocean County sheriff's officer was reported in fair condition this morning at Point Pleasant Hospital after collapsing yesterday while at work. Sgt. Bottger, who lives here at 1413 Thomas collapsed into a state of unconsciousness yesterday while he was at work in the county radio communications room at the Ocean County Jail, Toms River. He was re vived a short time later and transported to the hospital. He is the senior officer in charge of police radio communications for the county, i SPACE From Page 1 The flight plan called for McDivitt and Schweickart to make all the rendezvous maneuvers.

But Scott stood by as a lifeguard, ready to speed to the rescue if necessary. The maneuvers simulate those that two astronauts will make when they launch a LEM from the moon to catch the main Apollo craft in lunar orbit for the trip home. If Apollo 9 succeeds in the intricate maneuver, the way will be clear for Apollo 10 to fly a LEM in moon orbit in May and for Apollo 11 to attempt the historic landing In July. Carefully Plotted The strategy of rendezvous, painstakingly plotted by scientists and computers, called for the LEM to catch the command ship by taking advantage of orbital mechanics, the phsyics laws that govern the motion of orbiting bodies. By flying Into a higher path, McDivitt and Schweickart would require longer to make a circuit on the earth and gradually fall behind Scott.

Later, they drop beneath their target and gradually catch up, using radar and radio to lock on. Following the exercise, the astronauts were to kick the LEM away in space and spend the final five days circling the globe to gain more experience flying the Apollo command ship. The flight is scheduled to end Thursday with splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean. The astronauts reported they were in good condition, with no sign of the colds that delayed their launching three days or of the nausea that struck Schweickart Wednesday.
