ASBURY PARK PRESS, Sept. 13, 1976 A3 Dealers Used Car Howard Says Sludge Panel Wins Support Spur Fraud Ds Vehicle Pro claims paid by tection Corp. Monmouth American Motors, Rte. 88, Lakewood, is one company that has repair claims outstanding against the corporation. Tom Bowen, Monmouth American service manager, said he has tried unsuccessfully to contact a representative of Vehicle Protection Corp.

since. August regarding a $300 transmission overhaul repair on a used car insured by the corporation. Peter Gordon, executive vice president of the Greater New York, Long Island and Westchester County Automobile Dealers Associaton, said his office has received many complaints concerning the company for the past year. "When they were in business, they had a reputation for being slow payers," Gordon said. "They went out of business several months ago." A spokesman for the New York Department of Insurance in Albany said Vehicle serve as a public pressure group to insure the termination date is adhered to "and that strict and careful monitoring of the ocean is conducted by the appropriate government agencies." Members of the coalition include Dave Bulloch, Der-rickson Bennett, and Eugcn Geer of the American Littoral Society; Kay Rippere of the League of Women Voters; George Hoffman, president of the Eastern Diving Boat Association; Pat Yanonton; diver and microbiologist; John Bogan III and Dennis Bogan, charter boat captains.

Other members include Joe Galluccio, charter boat captain; Craig Fricke, youth representative; Jack Baker, owner of the Lobster Shanty in Point Pleasant Beach; Albert Maddock, lobsterman; Gosta "Swede" Lovgren, clamboat captain; Ed Mah-szewski, fisherman with the Belford Seafood Cooperative, and Andrew Huisman, owner of the Barclay Hotel. Howard said he plans to meet this coming weekend with the coalition in his district office. Probe Prn-n haH nave Protection Corp. had never been licensed through its office. Investigators with the New York Consumer Affairs Department said the corporation had been in business about two years.

Without notification to car dealers that offered the company's policies to used car buyers, Vehicle Protection telephones were disconnected in late August. They stopped business operations at that time. Lehman, said most of the complaints in New Jersey have come from dealers located in the shore counties, including Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic and Middlesex. A spokesman for the Consumer Affairs Department of the state Attorney General's office in Newark also confirmed several complaints regarding Vehicle Protection Corp. in the past month.

"We've referred all complaints to the Nassau County District Attorney's office," the spokesman said. discover are the priorities for New Jersey in water pollution programs in the next five years in view of the DEP's limited funds and manpower," said James F. Wright, chairman of the council and executive director of the Delaware River Basin Commission. Wright said serious questions exist about the presence of toxic substances in waterways. More extensive control may be more expensive, he cautioned.

Some of the problems to be considered at the hearing, include sludge, waste dis-. posal, urban runoff and landfill leaching and their effect on water quality and ground water purity. Hundreds of complaints from car dealers in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut about a Long Island, N.Y., used car insurance company's failure to honor repair claims has led to a fraud investigation by the Nassau County District Attorney's Office. A spokesman for the office said two investigators from its Commercial Frauds Division have been working for two months on a probe of the business practices of Vehicle Protection Corp. of Mineola.

Al Lehman, executive vice president of the New Jersey Automobile Dealers Association, Trenton, said his office included a "warning" concerning Vehicle Protection Corp. in a monthly bulletin circulated to most dealerships throughout the state. "It was the first time in 11 years of writing these bulletins that I've ever mentioned the name of a company in this context," Lehman said. The bulletin, issued by the state auto trade association April 28 told car dealers to be careful of companies offering extended warranties on used cars. Lehman said he warned dealers the association had been receiving complaints about Vehicle Protection Corp.

as early as August 1975. "It's been a real bad situation," Lehman said. "And in a case where a dealer offers this insurance, if a firm like this one (Vehicle Protection Corp.) fails to pay, the dealer is caught in the middle." The insurance offered by Vehicle Protection which ranged from $80 to $150 for 12,000 miles or 12 months on a used car, covered essentially the engine, transmission and "power train" (drive shaft, axle, etc.) Lehman said he received a "minimum of from 20 to 30 complaints" from dealers who failed to get repair Asbury Park Press principal, drop Bicentennial coins into conerstone of new township high school which was dedicated in ceremonies held yesterday.

"The most important job is the education of the children." dent coming out of this school has a good chance of having a saleable skill," Behan added. The superintendent also thanked senior citizens for supporting the bond issues that financed the school. "Senior citizens are usually reluctant to approve bond issues for schools, and people all over the Northeast have asked me how we did so well with them here," Behan said.

"When they had questions, we answered them. When you talk sense to them, they listen," he added. The school budget here has risen from $850,000 to $3Vi million in eight years, Behan noted. The township's 12,000 senior citizens make up 80 per cent of the voting population here, he said. "This school shows that the community knows what constitutes valid priorities," said the Rev.

White, Ocean County superintendent of schools, predicted yesterday. White spoke before about 500 persons at the dedication of the new, $6.3 million Manchester Township High School, which opened its doors Wednesday to 781 students from here and Lake-hurst. "I predict that in two or three years you'll have more kids than you'll be able to house," White said.

"You'll be faced with the need for additional facilities because people will want to move in because the schools will be so good," he added. White praised municipal officials, the Board of Education and the school administration for "complete cooperation" during the three-and-a-half-year project. "You have a facility equal to any in the county, so what are you going to do with it?" White asked the teaching staff. "The challenge is there, and it's up to the staff to meet it," he added. "The district starts off with no traditions, and it's not bound by anything that happened before." John L.

Behan, superintendent of schools, emphasized the comprehensive nature of the program of instruction offered at the school. "We're aiming at career education," he said. "We offer sound academic training for kids who are going on to college, but we also offer an extensive vocational education training, with wood, metal and auto shops, as well as home economics and business training."
