He mentioned this one day to Eugene A. Haylett of Rochester, who was vacationing in Hawaii. Mr. Haylett sent a gallon canister of snow from Rochester by air mail, special delivery.

Institutions I Officials Ask $88.5 Million TRENTON iP-A legislative committee looking into New Jersey's institutional needs was given a priority list of 60 projects costing $38.5 million yesterday. After considerable discussion with institutions officials, who prepared the list, the committee established a high priority list of 13 projects totaling approximately $61 million.

Mattice for a legal opinion on whether it can legally waive the interest on delinquent taxes. Councilman Cecile F. Norton said she has been told by many people it can not be done.

Acting Borough Attorney Ascenzio Al-barelli said he did not think it is legal. The Council on March 13 raised the interest fee from 6 to 8 per cent as of July 1. Mayor Frank H. Van Duzer said at the time that in case of hardship the borough clerk could waive the interest with the Council's permission. In other business, the dead m'f Hit' BSsiJK' MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP- Work began yesterday on restoring the railroad station to its original 1876 condition.

Workers of the Railroad Painters Union will scrape, paint, and decorate the station under an agreement with the township Tercentenary Commission. Fred Stockham, 11 Holland a retired contractor, is directing the project. Travers Neidlinger, 57 Concord Leonard, an artist, drew the plans from old photographs and drawings of the original station. The township is leasing the station from the New York Long Branch Railroad for this year ior $27. The Railroad Painters Union had balked at allowing commission volunteers to do the work.

The commission is paying the railroad workers "just at cost," Mr. Stockham said. Mrs. Maltby Jelliffe, Kings tion project, said work should be completed within two weeks. Geret H.

Conover, 33 Mallard Oak Hill, and Mrs. Kenneth L. Phillips, 9 New Monmouth Middletown Village, attended ceremonies at the station yesterday. The brother and sister are descendants of the Conover family, which owned the pn crty where the station now stands. The family sold Dart of their farm to the railroad for $100 in 1875, and a station was built.

The station is on Railroad avenue between Conover avenue and Church street. Gingerbread window boxes and gas lamps will be part of the restoration project. A coal-burning, pot-bellied stove will be retained in its original state. A sign proclaiming, "Middle-town Tercentenary 1664-1964," will be erected on the station platform. Several tercentenary events are planned at the station.

If approved by both houses the bond issue would go on the Nov.

Mr. McCorkle's top priority list of 60 projects does not include a replacement for the prison but does list $11.6 million for a controversial medium security prison for 500 men at I-eesburg. Mr. Sandman said the Leesburg prison would cost about $22,000 for each prisoner and would set record high costs for prison construction. Mr.

Mr. McCorkle said it would be possible to build a maximum security prison for 1,800 men at cost of $30 million. He said such a prison would replace the old prison at Trenton and obviate the need for a medium security prison at Leesburg.

Mr. Bracey asked if a purchasing system was in effect and how much money the city was saving through it. Mayor Mliton F. Untermeyer told him this had nothing to do with the budget. Increases the budget are chiefly due to a $51,000 boost in debt service; $27,909 in de ferred charges and statutory expenses, an increase of $14,207 to $368,225 in the reserve for uncollected taxes, and the new state law providing exemptions for veterans and senior citizens.

Here's the idea: Seismic, or shock, waves from the earthquake travelled inside the earth and produced the vibrations. These in turn caused alternat- ing changes in air pressures. thus turning the earth into a king-size loudspeaker. The bureau's modern equipment then recorded those sounds. ljr said the state wil1 bein a Utudv in a few weeks to deter- mine the feasibility of closing the crossing and extending Mar- cellus avenue across the tracks to Pen-in hmilevard.

Buck son Bishop Pike testified that Bi-' ble reading, as provided for by the Delaware law, is not necessarily a religious service, but can be construed as an educational exercise and part of the Judeo-Christian culture of the western wonu. The recital of the Prayer is not required by state law, the priest contended, and no one in a classroom or in a school assembly is required to participate in trie prayer or believe in it. Irving Morros, Wilmington attorney, brought the case before U.S. District Court on behalf of two couples who say continued Bible reading in Delaware public schools and the recital of the Lord's Prayer violates their constitutional rights and is in conflict with the opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Buckson said the Court decision did not automatically outlaw Bible reading and the Lord's Prayer in fie Delaware public schools. The decision banned required 2iblp reading in New York state public schools. Senator Hits Fraudulent Mail Selling WASHINGTON (fl-Sen. Harrison A. Williams urged today that the public cooperate in a post office department crackdown on what he said are crooked, high-pressure sales campaigns promoted through the mails.

Williams, chairman of a Sen-ntp snhr-nmmittee on frauds af- fecting the elderly, said Amen- cans spend minions in uutima annually in highly organized sales campaigns linked to a chain referral plan. The gimmick is that prospec- tive customers or victims are persuaded to buy products or services in the belief that they can earn the cost of the product, as well as extra money for themselves, by referring salesmen to friends or relatives," Williams added. He said often the buyer finds that he obligated himself to pay an excessive price for a product he didn't want. Williams said his subcommittee heard about the chain referral plans at a hearing in San Francisco during January.

The Assembly speaker said the feeling among the GOP now is to endorse "a good size bond issue for institutions." Mr.

Hughes had proposed a $750 million bond issue last year to finance highway, education, and institutions construction. The bonds would have been paid off with future tolls from the New Jersey Turnpike. The governor's bond issue was overwhelmingly rejected by the voters last November. Mr. Beadleston indicated the bond issue that the GOP endorses would run about $50 million.

He has introduced a bill calling for a referendum on a $50 million bond issue next November. The Assembly speaker said legislative committees studying! long-range needs in highways education, and institutions submitted preliminary reports at the meeting before the poll was taken on a tax stand. Funeral for Tax Asked if this could be considered "the funeral of a broad-based tax in 1064," he replied: "You are dead right." He emphasized, however, that the vote was applicable only to 1964. leaving the door open for a new look next year. Mr.

Hughes and Republican Senate leaders have contended that there would be little chance of passage next year because it is a gubernatorial election year. Mr. Beadleston said he was one of the nine who voted for a sales tax. He said he couldn't remember the others. Assembly Maioritv LraoVr Mrs.

Marison West Higgins. R-Bergen, said she was one of those who did not vote for a broad based tax. Mrs. Higgins said she was not satisfied that a broad based tax would guarantee relief for the overtaxed property owner or that such a tax would necessarily be used to meet the state's long range needs. Mr.

Beadleston declined to discuss the recommendations of the three committees studying needs. He said the bipartisan committees should have written reports ready within two weeks. NEW YORK UP) A star prosecution witness has testified that a $50,000 payoff was split between attorney Roy M. Cohn and a former assistant U.S. attorney to keep four men from being indicted in a $5 million stock fraud.

The testimony was given yesterday by Samuel S. Garfield, an oil promoter and Las Vegas gambler, at the U.S. District Court trial of Cohn, 37, and another New York attorney, Murray E. 1 1 a 57, on charges of perjury and conspiracy to obstruct justice. They arc accused of lying to a grand jury about the alleged payoff.

Garfield testified he paid Cohn $16,666 and that the remaining two-thirds of the purported payoff better than went to Morton S. Rob-son, then chief assistant U. attorney here and later the in terim U. S. attorney Robson challenged Garfield's I testimony in a statement to I newsmen last night.
