UP) A Circuit 'Court jury ordered David Stinger yesterday to pay $1,000 for a kiss. Stinger was kissing Peggy Orecheo April 20, 1967, his car swerved off a Miami street and crashed into a light pole. Miss Oreccheo asked "more than $5,000," claiming that she suffered a broken arm and dental damage.

The defense contended that it wasn't all Stingers's fault, because Miss Oreccheo "engaged in the kissing and any risk involved was known to her."

'to Review Its Role in the UN. The resignation of George W. Ball as United States ambassador to the United Nations sounds a signal for reviewing this country's participation in the international organization.

There is no implication here that we should drop out. Despite its shortcomings the United Nations is a potential force for amity and peace that must be preserved. It should also be strengthened, and that may require a reassessment of the United States' role. For years now this country has been the scapegoat for the United Nations. It has footed a disproportionate share of the bills while receiving none of the benefits.

During the Korean War, a UN enterprise to protect small nations against aggression, the great burden of the battle and of the cost was borne by the United States with nothing but token support from a few other nations. The UN refused to intervene to protect South Vietnam against communist aggression and this country was required under its obligations to preserve the sanctity of small nations to intervene and become involved in a deadly war. Rather than meet its responsibilities and assist in protecting the independence of South Vietnam, the UN engaged in unbridled criticism of this country's courageous action. That criticism reached an apex of impertinence when Thant, the UN secretary-general, suggested recently that the UN General Assembly adopt a resolution See PRESS BELIEVES Page 14 OFFICIAL PIGSKIN VIEW The spotters, announcers, and scoreboard operator command a perfect view from the official box atop the stands at the Neptune-Lakewood football opening day game.

Skyride Assailed In Boardwalk Poll ASBURY PARK The majority of boardwalkers, sunbathers, and concessionaires polled yesterday on the boardwalk here expressed strong opposition to the proposed skyride, which would run from Convention Hall to the Casino above the beach.

With the referendum seen as a gesture of confidence in the men who seized power 17 months ago, Premier George Papadopoulos appealed to the more than five million eligible voters to go to the polls "calm, steadiast and optimistic.

Premier on Networks He spoke in a nationwide radio and television address. At the same time, Foreign Minister Panayiotis Pipinelis pleaded for other countries to help the regime by easing opposition. Both termed the constitution a first step toward parliamentary rule and Pipinelis said: 1 dare warn the friends of this country for the peace and security in this part of the world not to play with fire, and strongly advise them to facilitate the task of this government for a return to constitutionalism by gradual and carefully considered steps. He insisted that despite the existence of martial law, "the referendum is free, without any pressure. The people can vote according to their conscience." Heavily Favored The constitution is expected to win overwhelming approval in the balloting, to run from sunrise to sunset.

But the regime was taking no chances. All open opDosition was for bidden. Soldiers and police stood by to quell any possible demonstration of dissent. Extra buses, trains and shins were laid on in a final stepped-up effort to get all eligible voters oacK to tneir homes in time to cast ballots. With all the preparations and a two-month campaign before the vote, anything less than overwhelming approval will be seen as a rejection of the regime.

Qualified observers predicted at least 70 per cent of the voters would accept the constitution.

Secretary General Thant accused U.S. diplomat George W. Ball yesterday of "surprising misunderstanding and misconception" of Thant's publicized views on, what an end to all U.S. bombing of North Vietnam would accomplish. Thant's comments came the day after Ball left the post of U.S.

He also said he did not accept Thant's idea that stopping all the United States' bombing of North Vietnam was an essential first step toward, progress in the Paris peace talks.

He called it a "naive assump tion that if we were to stop the bombing the whole world would be suddenly transformed." He declared the bombing issue had been "enormously distorted See THANT Page 2 INDEX Today's edition contains 11 sections, including six news sections, colored comics, Family Weekly magazine, and three advertising supplements Steinbach's, Sears, and Montgomery Ward.

Parley Due On Span At Pt Pleasant POINT PLEASANT Borough officials hope to meet with state Transportation Commissioner David Goldberg soon, possibly this week, to discuss the Lovelandtown bridge situation.

Mayor Waler E. Brown and the Borough Council hope to learn why $2,000,000 appropriated for construction of a new bridge was secretly transferred to help finance the Aldene Plan several years ago. The revelation earlier this month that the money, half of the estimated cost of a replacement bridge, was no longer in the state coffers touched off a new, bitter controversy. Gov. Richard J.

Hughes, in a letter to Mayor Brown, prom ised the new bridge would be-ceive top priority if a proposed $200 million bond issue is approved by voters in November. Promised 2 Years Ago But officials of the state High way Department (now fhe Transportation Department) had promised the new bridge two years ago with no strings, or bond issues, Mr. Goldberg, who was not the commissioner when the bridge money was transferred, researched the matter for local officials. His answer, contained in the governor letter, was worthless, however, said Mayor Brown. "It didn't tell us one thing we did not know," the mayor said.

"It just retraced the history of the problem, and we know all that it did not say what happened to the money or why we have to wait for a bond issue now. That's what we want to find out." Hoped to Meet Here Officials had hoped Mr. Goldberg could come here for the meeting, but Assemblyman Benjamin Mabie, R-Ocean, who tried to schedule it, was told the See PARLEY Page 75 the Mob stance. What could be more important than setting up another governmental bureaucracy? Some might argue that criminals already have more than their fair share of justice, and how come all of a sudden they need a whole new department? But when a legislative committee embarks on a creative endeavor, cynicism like that counts for nothing. So the scene was played out for all it was worth, and no professor was allowed to rewrite the script by sprinkling unsavory details among the platitudes.

The day after Professor Ruth gave his opinion about what was rotten in the Garden State, the script switched from accusations to expressions of righteous indignation. The first indignant witness was Atty. Gen. Arthur J. Sills, the state's top crime fighter.

He accused the professor of irresponsibility. "Nobody can answer a charge like that," Mr. Sills complained. "As it stands now, the officialdom of New Jersey is indicted. I might also say the Legislature is indicted." That added up to a lot of in-Sce MOB, Page 7 Asbury Cadillac Limousine Ladies' Day Every Wed.

Troopers of the 1st Air Cavalry Division found another 20 tons of rice buried in sand south of Quang Tri City, 27 miles below the demilitarized zone, and a four-ton rice cache 12 miles below the DMZ.

Humphrey Going on TV Meanwhile in Maryhill, Hubert H. Humphrey moved yesterday to try to put new life into his campaign by scheduling a speech to the na tion on foreign policy with emphasis on Vietnam to morrow night. Although, some of his advisers, the vice president should make a dramatic break with the Johnson administration-over Veitnam, it is believed highly unlikely that he will. The Humphrey camp reportedly is disappointed by an advance peek at a poll that shows Humphrey still drop-ing behind his Republican opponent, Richard M.

Nixon. But the announcement that the vice president has purchased a half hour on NBC-TV for a "major foreign policy statement" was said to be See NIXON Page 75 Roads to headlines and cause the hearings to go off onto the dramatic, and lose the purpose."

Pohl balked, and the price was lowered to $1,000. She then went to authorities who set the April Fools Day trap. She was given $500 in marked money, which was to be a down payment on the bribe. On that Friday morning, Mrs. Pohl met Passafiume at the site of the Congress Apartments, which the contractor was building at the time.

She handed him the $500 and as he walked away, local police and country detectives arrested him. County detectives arrested Herbert Kaplan, a board member, at about the same time and charged him with soliciting a bribe. Mr. Kaplan's arrest stemmed from a complaint by Mrs. foni, but had nothing to do with the Passafiume case.

Mr. Kaplan, who pleaded innocent, was accused of personally asking Pohl for money to obtain the permit. The next month the two cases went to the Grand Jury. Mrs. Pohl, Passafiume, Mr.

Kaplan, and Mr. Reynolds were among those who testified behind the closed doors. On May 20, Passafiume and Mr. Kaplan were indicted. Jury Can't Agree Passafiume's first trial last year ended with a hung jury.

But after a six-day trial in May this year, a jury of five women and seven men found him guilty. Last week he was given a suspended one-year jail sentence and fined $1,000. His attorney, Hackensack lawyer Ned J. Parsekian, a former state Motor Vehicle Division director, announced he will appeal the conviction.

TUERS Press Staff Writer LAKEWOOD It's been IVz years since that April Fools Day when police converged on a Woehr avenue construction, site and arrested contractor Anthony Passafiume. And though the dark-haired young builder was convicted and last week sentenced, the case continues to send rumbles throughout the county. It also presents some baffling questions that remain unanswered.

What part did Passafiume really play in the complicated bribery case? Is there official corruption here? Was there a deliberate effort to cover up or bumbling on the part of law enforcement officials as contended by one of the principals in the case? The fact is that most of the answers to these questions will probably never become public. And even privately, there is little agreement among persons close to the case. Two Trials Here's the story as it unfolded at two trials: Early in 1966 Mrs. Claire 8th a local businesswoman, applied to the Board of Adjustment for a special use permit to build a 24-unit garden aparment project. It was at first denied.

Passafiume, of Shaw Court, Jackson Township, a new acquaintance of Mrs. Pohl, offered to help clear the way in hopes of getting the building contract. He testifed at both trials he talked to Chief Inspector Raymond Reynolds (then the build ing inspector), who asked for $2,400. The money was to go to Mr. Reynolds and an unnamed member of the Board, Passa fiume told the jury.

A Senate committee was holding hearings on two more bills to add to the list of anti-crime legislation that perennially challenges the imagination of the Supreme Court.
