(UPI) U.S. House OK's Bill to Outlaw Housing Bias TRENTON (PI The New Jer Assembly passed an antl housing discrimination bill today which Gov. Richard J. Hughes has termed the strongest such legislation in the country.

But feelings ran high as legislators debated how far the law should go in telling a man what he may or may not do with his own property. The bill, finally approved 51-1 after a heated 20-minute debate. now goes to the Senate, which greatly modified a similar bill last year. The housing bill outlaws discrimination in the renting or selling of all housing except in the rental of a room in an owner-occupied home or in the rental of a two-family house in which the owner occupies the other flat. Fixes Persuasion Period The bill also fixes a 45-day period for efforts to eliminate "discrimination by persuasion" and permits the prospective buyer in some cases to get an injunction against the seller, preventing him from selling the house until the case is settled in court.

Assembly Majority Leader Elmer M. Matthews, D-Essex, who sponsored the bill with a dozen other assemblymen, told the Assembly before he asked them to approve tne oiu: "What we do here today is responsible, and is our responsibility. I hope and plead that the other house acts with as much candor we owe it to the people of our state." Beadleston Opposes Assemblyman Alfred N. Bea dleston, R-Monmouth, rose in op-position, first carefully explain' ing that there "is no discrimina-tion in me." "This bill has one feature that should not be on any law in any land at any time, he said. "We are taking and destroy ing the very essence of the coun-trv in which we live that is the right to do what you will, within reason, with what you own." he said.

"Don't destroy yourself," he pleaded to a silent, attentive Assembly, "by taking away something that is more important than anything; your right to do with yours as you see fit." "To me it is appalling to say that or you, can not sell my home on certain conditions," Mr. Beadleston added. He said he agreed 100 per cent with the intent of the bill, but suggested that "there is also some other intent to appeal to the emotional climate of this world." Gross Urges Passage Freshman Assemblyman-Nelson G. Gross, R-Bcrgen, suggested that "this Legislature should move forward and set the climate for progress." Mr. Gross explained that all the bill does is provide that once a house is on the market there should be no discrimination in the sale of it.

He urged passage of the bill. George C. Richardson, D-Es-sex, the only Negro member of the Assembly, spoke briefly and quietly on the bill, saying: "The discrimination in our pub lic schools is the direct result of discrimination in housing "The end to housing discrimination will bring about an end to school segregation," he said, in urging passage of the bill. News in all to by 10 in no tion on RAYMOND FIOLA Shoreliners Picket Post Over Shakeup NEPTUNE Some 50 youthful members of the Shoreliner Drum and Bugle Corps picketed for 20 minutes outside O'Brien-Major Post 2639, Rte. 35, last night after they decided to quit the post that has sponsored them for seven The walkout came at a practice session after John Troppoli, their former director, bade them farewell, and their new director, James Ulrich, of Ft.

Monmouth, told them their uniforms and instruments would be reissued last night. An unidentified member of the corps stood up and said, "We don't want any part of the O'Brien-Major Corps." The Shoreliners from 8 to 14 years old trooped outside, picked up picket signs from a car, and began their march, as police stood by. The signs demanded the instruments, which Don Wilkins, 14-year-old rally chairman, said had been earned and paid by corps members. Michael Virgilio, a former committee member, said the post had loaned the group $850 to start the organization, and it had all been paid back within a year from funds raised by members. The demonstration was triggered by replacement of Mr.

Troppoli and the former music committee by James Allegro, post commander, who said the post had voted Feb. 2 to retain the corps. He then appointed a new committee consisting of Daniel Gorman, senior vice commander; Stanley Sliwa, junior vice commander; Theodore Parsons, Philip Kruschka, and Charles Jackson. Members of the old committtee joined the demonstrators. They were Mr.

Virgilio, who said he had arranged the demonstration; James M. Sullivan, Frederick Vroom, and Joseph Freeman. Some parents were also there. Commander Allegro said Mr. Vroom and Mr.

Freeman are not members of the post.

Stout or, for that matter, any other couny political leader as far as can be learned. However, the governor has said he hopes to get to these and other judicial appointments during the legislature's mid-winter recess which started yesterday and will last until March 19. Fire Wrecks Interior Of City House ASBURY PARK-Fire wrecked the interior of a vacant, six-room house at 1210 3rd Ave. early today. Fire Chief Michael DeSarno is investigating to determine the cause.

No damage estimate was immediately available. Firemen Daniel Maboncy and William J. Simms discovered the fire shortly before 4 a.m. while returning from a first aid call in the neighborhood. Firemen battled the blaze for two hours.

The htwse is owned by Daniel DeSena, 1301 3rd Ave. The fire department said the two-story frame and stucco dwelling was partly furnished. Firemen Mahoney and Simms were returning from the home of Mrs. Anna Abrams, 1602 4th Ave. The first aid squad was called when she became hysterical after a prowler tried to enter her home, police said.

Police searched the area but did not find the prowler. Reports All Well In Space CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -Astronaut John H. Glenn Jr. rocketed into orbit today in his spacecraft, "Friendship 7" and scientists planned to bring him down after he circled the earth three times in four hours, 50 minutes.

The Atlas missile carrying Lt. Col. Glenn's spacecraft roared aloft at 9:47 this morning after a series of minor technical delays. As Col. Glenn soared into space, he reported by radio to the Mercury control center at Cape Canaveral: "I feel fine and the view is tremendous," He said he could see the Atlas booster rocket falling away behind him and that he had a clear view of much of the earth stretching back to the cape from his vantage point about 100 miles in space.

"It's a beautiful sight," Col. Glenn exclaimed. The reports came from the con-trol center here, where tense officials carefully monitored the historic flight of the first American to be fired into orbit. Officials reported the capsule was in an orbit ranging from a point of 160 miles to a low of 100 miles and the speed was 17,545 miles an hour. Estimated time of each circuit of the globe was 89 minutes.

The spacecraft was in contact with Zanzibar of! the east coast of Africa at 10:18 a.m. This first pass over Africa was to carry Col. Glenn over Lake Victoria and just to the north of the Main Mountain, Kilimanjaro. Col. Glenn read off a steady stream of reports on oxygen supply, cabin pressure and the functioning of the capsule.

His tone was calm and businesslike. "The horizon is a brilliant blue," he said. In Washington, President Kennedy watched the launching of Col. Glenn into orbit and was described as very pleased that the first phase of the flight had gone off very successmully. Press Sec retary Pierre Salinger said Mr.

Kennedy followed the watching very intensely. In Arlington, a friend of the Glenn family noted "a tremendous note of joy" in the atmosphere in the home of the astronaut. Mrs. Glenn and the two teen-aqe children, David, 16, and Lyn, 14, with several friends and neighbors watched all the proceedings on three television sets the living room. Col.

Glenn was awakened at 2 20 a.m., shaved and showered, and then ate a hearty breakfast. He had a physical examination before donning his silver space suit. At 5:02 a.nL, he departed in his special van for launching pad 14, where the Atlas booster and capsule waited. At 6:03, he entered the capsule and more than an hour later was sealed inside. Storms which stirred up giant waves and forced three postponements last week have moved out of the Atlantic recovery areas and conditions were reported satisfactory.

The Atlas was programmed to blast Col. Glenn's Friendship 7 spacecraft into orbit at 17,500 miles an hour at altitudes ranging from 100 to 150 miles.

Manasquan Defers Group Rental Curb MANASQUAN Borough Council last night returned to (he Planning Board for more study a planned ordinance to restrict group rentals in the borough.

The action came after an open session in which the Ceunril heard arguments for and against such an ordinance from an audience of more than 50 persons. Borough Clerk V. Miller Preston also read letters favoring and against such a measure. James Trumbauer, 455 E. Main a chief objector at the meeting on Feb.

5, again reiterated his views that such an ordinance was unconstitutional. He said it was the duty of the police department to enforce existing ordinances which made the proposed measure unnecessary. Others said the ordinance should distinguish between families and groups. Cyril J. Sas-seen, 566 Whiting said that he had had trouble when agents rented to groups, but after ne warned his agents to screen rentals carefully and not to rent to croups, he had no further trouble.

He said he had no trouble with family tenants. Urges Passage Norman B. Anderson, 163 2nd urged Council to pass the ordinance. "The situation at the beachfront grows worse every year," he said. "Girls cannot walk on the beachfront without attempts to accost them.

Many women won't walk on 1st Ave. after dark. We must eliminate the hoodlums from our beachfront." Chase P. Withrow, 541 E. Main also urged Council to pass such an ordinance.

He said it would be for the good of the whole town. Council reappointed Ted C. Frank to a one-year term as borough engineer, after Mayer Robert E. Mount failed to make an appointment within the 30-day required period after Council reorganization on Jan. 1.

Mayor Mount appointment of William Ruf, 41 Marcellus to the board of adjustment, was confirmed. But Council declinerl to confirm his appointment of Rudolph F. Antes, 98 Atlantic as beach registrar for 1962. Councilman William R. Sev- laz moved that the appointment be held for further study and Council concurred.

See RENTAL Page 2 and have the new interchange open by the end of August. The cost estimate is $478,000. Mr. Tonti said the money could easily be diverted to major improvement projects slated for the new Bergen Expressway. From a budgetary standpoint, he added, he would welcome a delay in the Holmdel-Middletown interchange project.

Mr. Tonti said he thought the Chamber was acting against its own interests in that the new interchange would provide a second access route from the parkway to the Red Bank business district. Toll Increase Inevitable As to the proposed nickel increase in the toll at the Red Bank interchange, Mr. Tonti said it will eventually go into effect anyway because the decision was made independently of the Holmdel-Middletown interchange decision. He said the parkway's engineering consultants recommended the increase to remedy the inequity that has existed bewteen the 10-cent toll at the Red Bank interchange and the 25-cent toll at the Eatontown interchange.

The toll charge at the proposed new interchange would be 10 cents. Removal Sale. Everything goes. Bromwich Floor Covering Shop. adv Suits, $40 $50, values to $70.

Shutts, 613 Mattison. adv I Hushes Dares Senate Rebuff On Parsekian Press State House Bureau TRENTON Gov. Richard J. Hughes yesterday defied an almost solid wall of Senate hostility and renominated Ned J. Parsekian, Flemington, as director of the Division of Motor Vehicles.

It marks the third time Mr. Parsekian's name has been sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee. He has been serving in the position on an acting basis for the past three years after succeeding the former director, Frederick J. Gassert Jr. Mr.

Parsekian was assigned to the post by former Gov. Robert B. Meyner in the wake of The Asbury Park Press' disclosure that the division's point system was disorganized and that thousands of drivers were escaping revocation because of slipshod administrative procedures. Since then, Mr. Parsekian has aroused enmity for his uncompromising enforcement of the motor vehicle laws and his refusal to countenance political interference.

Mr. Hughes, who is well aware of the hostility to Mr. Parsekian, declined to predict the outcome of the nomination, nor would any of the judiciary committee members. Only one of the eight. Sen.

John A. Lynch, D-Middlesex, said he would vote to confirm the nomination. "If Dick Hughes wants him, I'll vote for him," he said. Sen. W.

Steelman Mathis, R-Ocean, said "I have no feeling about him one way or another." The other committee members dug in behind a wall of "no comment." They are Sen. Charles W. Sandman R-Cape May, the chairman; Sen. Richard R. Stout, R-Monmouth; Sen.

D.

Louis Tonti, executive director of the highway authority, announced Friday night that the decision to go ahead with the project would be reviewed because of the objections raised. The Red Bank Chamber's directors, at a meeting last Wednesday, challenged the need for the new interchange and voted to protest the project "until the true cost picture is established." They also objected to a proposed five-cent increase to 15 cents in the toll charge at the Red Bank interchange. Tonti Readies Report Mr. Tonti said yesterday he will present a complete report to the authority members at their meeting March 8, He said the final decision on whether to go ahead with the project will be up to the authority, headed by Mrs. Katharine Elkus White, Red Bank.

Mr. Tonti said engineering plans for the project will be completed shortly, but there would be no problem in putting them aside until another date.

35, Neptune. adv ALLENTOWN Trooper Ray. mond P. Fiola, 37, of 976 Mc- Guire Drive, Toms River, was killed and another state trooper was injured yesterday in a one-car accident on the Allentown-Holmson road. Injured was Trooper Stanley A.

Adams, 32, of 150 Sherman Bayville, Berkeley Township. He was reported in fair condition today at St. Francis Hospital, Trenton. Both troopers were attached to the Toms River barracks. The pair was headed for state police headquarters in West Trenton for a refresher course.

Police said the state police car in which they were riding ran off Allentown-Holmson road near here, went down an embankment and crashed into a tree. Capt. Jacob J. Harris, commander of state police troop in Princeton, said Trooper Adams, who apparently was driving, stepped on the brakes when he saw a school bus stopping about 300 feet ahead of him. The car apparently skidded on the icy pavement and ran off the road, Capt.

Harris said. Trooper Adams suffered a fractured skull and other injuries. He was taken first to Farmers Hospital here and then to St. Francis Hospital. Capt.

Harris said the men were going to the West Trenton headquarters for a two-day service course when the accident happened about 8:15 a.m. Trooper Fiola joined the force in April, 1955. He was stationed at the Holmdel and Pleasant Plains barracks on the Parkway from 1956 to 1959, and was transferred to Toms River in October 1959. Capt. Harris said Trooper Adams joined the force in August 1954.

He saw duty on the Jersey Turnpike until 1959, and was transferred to the Garden State Parkway until October 1961' before moving to the Toms River station. Capt. Harris said both men were cited several times for meritorious service.

McGowan Dropping Press State House Bureau TRENTON M. Raymond McGowan, Little Silver, has re portedly withdrawn as a candidate for appointment to the Monmouth County District Court bench. He is expected to make an announcement today concerning his future professional and personal plans in the wake of his failure to gain endorsement by the Monmouth Republican organization for the judgeship. Nominated by Meyner Mr. McGowan, who has been the law partner of Assemblyman Clifton T.

Baikalow, Freehold, for 21 years, was nominated former Gov. Robert B. Meyner to the District Court along with Dep. Atty. Gen.

Francis X. Crahay, an Occanport Democrat, Jan. 9, 1961. Gov. Meyner nominated the two men to the judgeships knowing that neither had the endorsement of his respective county political organization.

The Republicans were pushing Mayor George Gray, Red Bank, former second assistant prosecutor. It has been learned thai the GOP leaders recently reaffirmed their support of Mayor Gray a factor which undoubtedly led to Mr. McGowan's decision to withdraw. The Democrats endorsed county chairman John A. now the mayor of Matawan and second assistant county prosecutor, for the second judgeship.

When Gov, Meyner refused to name Mr. Applegatc, the organization switched to Leo Wein-stein, a Matawan lawyer and member of the county Tax Board. However, Gov. Meyner refused to budge from his choices and the party leaders prevailed upon Sen. Richard R.

Stout, Monmouth, to block the nominations of Mr. McGowan and Mr. Crahay. By long-standing tradition, the PARKWAY RATED SAFETY CHAMPION WOODBRIDGE, N.J. UP) -The Garden State Parkway was cited yesterday as the nation's safest superhighway in 1961.
