The Worden Funeral Home, Red Bank, is in charge of Report 18 Missionaries Slain in Congo BRUSSELS, Belgium OrV-Con-golese troops from Stanleyville have massacred 18 Roman Catholic missionaries and a large number of Africans in Kongolo, in North Katanga Province, the Belgian radio said today.

The broadcast said the massacre was reported in Bukavu, Kivu Province, by a number of missionaries who escaped from Kongolo after the town was taken over last month by the troops from Stanleyville. Katanga President Moise Tshombe reported on Jan. 1 that his forces had abandoned Kongolo and that the invaders were killing hundreds of civilians and burning villages as they advanced on the town. Tshombe claimed the invading troops were under the orders of the central Congo government in Leopoldville, but reports since have indicated that they were loyal to pro-Communist Dep. Premier Antoine Gizenga, who was put under house arrest in Stanleyville Sunday by central government troops.

Gizenga has been accused of dispatching troops into North Katanga in an effort to establish his own state in the northeast Congo. BIRTHS Answers Protests Chamber of Commerce at Shad-owbrook Restaurant, also revealed plans to improve the interchange. The chamber went on record against an increase in the present 10-cent toll at a meeting of the Red Bank merchants last week. The authority announced the boost last November, when plans to build a new interchange in the Red Hill area of Middletown and Holmdel Townships were un veiled. Fears Further Increases M.

Harold Kelly, a member of the chamber's board of directors, said the chamber should act now, before the toll Is boosted even higher. Yesterday's meeting was called to clarify the rate increase proposal. According to parkway officials, the rate per mile to the Red Bank interchange would still be lower after the increase than the average cost of 1.6 cents a mile over the entire length of the toll road. They added that Improvements such as a third traffic lane, added recently to handle peak summertime traffic, would not be fairly compensated for without a toll increase because of a traffic lag here in winter months. Improvements Promised In reply to the chamber's criti cism of the "poorly-lighted and designed" southbound exit at the Red Bank interchange, the parkway officials promised that improvements are being planned there.

They include a longer, wider deceleration lane, larger directional signs, and better lighting. The authority also announced recently that a parking lot will be built there for the convenience of drivers who belong to car "pools." Attending yesterday besides Mr. Kelly were D. Louis Tonti, the authority's executive director; Milton Levy, public relations director; Joseph T. Grause, chamber director and Francis J.

Bol-duc, chamber executive vice president. Gierseh Quits Council Post At Red Bank RED BANK Frederic E. Gierseh Jr. resigned from Borough Council last night. No successor was named.

Barba, would be a $1'A million ratable, according to Board Sec setary Robert M. Wood. The entire site covers a juare-foot area, with parking planned for 1,100 cars. No other details of the proposed rjroject were made available last night, other than there are no tenants committed yet to rent apace in the center. 'The application was taken un der study by the board.

1 Variance Needed KA variance would be required hiecause the 145-acre area is now zoned for residential and indus trial use.

The board also continued an application from Mrs. James Reynolds, Magnolia Lane, to use her home to board persons rehabilitated from the New Jersey State Hospital at Marlboro Township. The Planning Board two weeks ago said there are no stipulations in the township zoning code to prohibit such a use.

However, at least six nearby residents appeared last night to question such a use. The board approved a variance application from Bernard C. Welch, Sleepy Hollow to operate a woodworking shop in a barn on his farm. It denied applications from Dr. Joseph P.

Puma, 140 Cherry Tree Farm to extend his dental offices in his home and Dr. Victor J. Witek, Nutswamp Rd to locate his practice in a home in the Forrest Homes Development.

Report Boy Confessed Setting Fire CHICAGO in The Chicago Tribune said last night that information that a 13-year-old boy has confessed setting the fire at Our Lady of the Angels School, which claimed the lives of 92 children and 3 nuns, was given yesterday to Judge Alfred J. Cilella of Family Court. The Tribune's copyrighted story said Judge Cilella promised an investigation of the report that the boy signed an eight-page confession under questioning by John E. Reid, a nationally known expert on lie detectors. It said that Judge Cilella said that if the confession is found to be accurate, the boy should be taken into custody.

The story added that Mr. Reid confirmed he had talked with the boy Friday, at the request of the boy's parents, and that he had given him a lie detector test. But Mr. Reid refused to comment on his findings. The boy was not identified.

The Tribune said it had obtained information that the boy, in his confession, told of setting fire to the Roman Catholic elementary school about 2:45 p.m. on Dec. 1, 1958, causing a holocaust in which pupils and nuns died minutes before classes would have been dismissed for the day.

Precipitation is predicted to exceed normal over the eastern half of the nation and also in the Southwest. Subnormal amounts are indicated for the extreme northwest.

Garrity opened last night's Township Committee meeting wiffi a bang of the gavel at 9:05, 35 minutes late.

Mayor Garrity explained that the was delayed by discussions with a number of people. Suggests Advance Approval Committeeman Forrest L. Gillespie then suggested that anyone wishing to confer with the Committee before the meetings should arrange in advance with Mrs.

Lois Mansfield, township clerk. "If we have time," he said, "than we will talk with them, but our meetings have got to start on time." The late meetings in Ocean Township are not unusual. Both of December's meetings were more than 30 minutes late in starting. The Committee appointed John Wrubel to fill the one-year unexpired term of Fred Holman on the Planning Board.

DEFINES conn GOVERMIEKT TRENTON i.fi Gov. Richard J. Hughes today defined good government as "one responsive to the needs of the people, not suffocating them with burdensome regulations, but providing an instrument for joint accomplishment." "Good government looks beyond the powerful and the prosperous to achieve a healthy accommodation of the interests of all," Gov.

Hughes said in his inaugural message. The governor took a swipe at extremists on both ends oif the political spectrum. He said his definition of good government "represents a healthy change over that of fearful men who saw and still see in every government service a threat to an ill defined "We have moved from the days when the best government meant the least government," he said.

Mr. Collichio said George E. Ostrov, borough attorney, will report on an informal audit he has conducted of the department's records over the weekend. The department's records were impounded here two weeks ago after "many inconsistencies and alterations to the police blotter" were noted, according to Mayor Collichio. He said the blotter had been under surveillance lor some time by his office and Borough Manager C.

Bernard Blum. Certain entries were changed in the transcription from a rough draft to a courtroom blotter, the mayor charged, to justify overtime by certain department members. Police Chief Alphonsus Mc Grath and other department officers have been requested to attend tonight's meeting, Mr. Collichio said. No charges have been filed to date.

"Therefore I could not possibly have received money from these contracts, and there is no conflict of interest as some would like others to believe," he said.

Mr. Crosta said he advocates having the township adopt a conflict of interest law for township employes.
