Lobster Shanty whose $175,000 lobster trawler Shanty Queen sank earlier this week in gale winds, plans to build at least one and possibly two more lobster boats.

"The initial operation was so successful there was never any question of us getting out of the lobster-catching ousi-ness," said a spokesman for the corporation. "We hope to have the new boat in operation this fall." The 80-foot trawler sank about two and one-half miles off Fire Island on it's way back with a catch. The crew of four was uninjured. The corporation spokesman similar to the Shanty Queen. When that trawler was launched last February, the company boasted of its modern equipment.

In addition to supplying the needs of the company restaurants, the corporation planned to sell lobsters to others. Meanwhile, the two local restaurants, the Shanty Pub and the Lobster Shanty, have no shortage of lobsters. The company spokesman said the restaurant received many calls from customers who thought the sinking of the trawler meant the restaurant had no source of supply.

MAIN STWIT LOCUST STRUT flcr Anderson WASHINGTON One of America's bank-Ing giants has devised a way for avoiding the ederal Corrupt Practics Act so it can put thousands of dollars into the pockets of friendly politicians.

The ct flatly prohibits politifal contribu-Hons by corporations. But the Marine Midland Trust Co. of western New York has cooked up a way to duck the law. The Buffalo bank raises a slush fund by systematically requiring its top officers to Rive a percentage of their salary. I he money is then pumped into strategic political coffers.

TJe Plan was adopted after being proposed by C. K. Berrvman, senior vice president, in a confidential memorandum to David J. Laub, bank president. This column has obtained a copy of the memo.

It provides a rare glimpse of the lengths to which banks will go to preserve their favored position with public officials. 'The following recommendation is offered for your consideration to solve the problem of establishing a fund from which contributions to political candidates can be obtained," the memo says. Berryman then explains that his plan grew, in part, out of "discussions at the American Bankers Association (ABA) convention." He then outlines a proposal which would give each of the bank's 107 officers receiving salaries of $15,000 or more a $5,000 "deduc tion." The bank would then "assess on the basis of one half of one per cent of the re-mainder" to raise political funds. Berryman adds that he feels the $9,000 would "more than cover our needs" for contributions. "Those bankers who have successful programs," he says, "all state that it cannot be done on a voluntary basis.

A certain degree of persuasion has to occur." The memo concedes that there are "legal problems involved" in the contribution plan. But it notes soberly that the bank's earnings depend heavily on "the level of our public funds." Bank Develop a Technique For Aiding Political Driven Reached at his office, Laub acknowledged that by "public funds" the memo meant money deposited in the bank by government agencies. Asked what was the relationship between these deposits and political contributions, Laub at first said there was none. Then he reluctantly conceded that the political giving was "defensive" that is, an effort to protect government deposits. The bank's total deposits are $1.2 billion.

Despite the systematic arrangement proposed in the memo, Laub insisted that the contributions were "absolutely voluntary. I wish there was a way we could put the arm on the boys. But we can't, as you well know. "Officers can even designate the candidates who will receive their money. The funds are then used for dinner tickets, things like that.

It amounts to political fund-raising. We've had our attorneys check it out in every way." Some of Washington's most distinguished government hosts ply their guests with bootleg whisky turned over to them-after it is confiscated by Treasry agents. The whisky and other spirits are seized by customs and revenue agents at ports of entry, or on raids inside the country when its owners seek to avoid federal taxes. When Treasury can find the man who claims it, he gets a chance to prove it's legal. If no one claims it, the bottles go to federal hospitals for medicinal use, to charitable organizations for similar purposes or, as is often the case, to federal agencies for entertainment.

The only wrinkle in the gift of the liquor, which is handled by the General Services Administration, is the partying must be official, not personal. In fiscal 1970, the Defense Department got 1,382 fifths, the State Department got 1,050, and the Department of the Interior got 699. Small quantities also went to the National Science Foundation, the Commerce Department and he Department of Health, Educa-ton, and Welfare. retail liquor consumption license, and $fi5 for a transfer fee. If bar owners permit their license to lapse, they would not be able to replace them since Asbury Park, such as many other established communities, already has more than its quota of liquor licenses.

Persons who want to reactivate or transfer existing licenses must have permission from the Council. Bridge Job Proceeds After Delay POINT PLEASANT The Lovelandtown Bridge construction is only slightly behind schedule and has resumed at a normal pace now that engineering problems have been solved, state officials say. A pokesman for the state Transportation said work on the bridge had been slowed because of problems with the pilings. Preconstruction tests indicated the clay beneath the Point Pleasant canal was firm enough to support the pilings with special seals to keep water out. But construction showed the seals were needed on the west side of the bridge, the spokesman said.

The contractor and state were unable to agree on a price for the extra work so the state authorized it on a time and materials basis. The spokesman estimated the additional cost will amount to $50,000 to $100,000. The seals are needed to be sure canal water cannot enter the support frame while the concrete is being formed, a state official explained. He said the bridge project, which is due to be completed by the end of 1971, is 25.4 per cent done now. To be on schedule, it would have to be 28.2 per cent completed.

The official stressed the figures now do not mean the bridge will not be completed on time. ASBUIIY PARK Councilman Edward R. English contends the city should pick up a liquor license once the business ceases to operate. Under state law, holders of retail liquor consumption licenses can hang on to their licenses even if they are not in business at the moment. "This city already has 70 liquor licenses," Mr.

English noted, "and that's too many for this town." A spokesman for the state Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control in Newark said the "inactive" license system is good for many municipalities which can thereby collect the fee anywhere from $200 to $2,000 under state regulation without the police problems that sometimes go with the operation of liquor establishments. But the City Council here is not in unanimous agreement on this point. In a split vote, the Council has approved transfer of a license issued to Jerry Narci-so's Jerry's Tavern Inc. from 1015-25 Kingsley St. to 202 3rd where Mr.

Narciso lives. The transfer was made with the stipulation that it be held inactive. Bilrose trading as Danny's, which was burned oat at its former 418-430 Cookman address, was granted a transfer to operate in the Kingsley Ave. premises formerly occupied by Jerry's Tavern. "I strongly objected to this," Mr.

English explained, "because, in the first place, Danny's opened up in Jerry's place sometime around July 4 without permission from anyone. Now, after the fact, they come in and ask for a transfer." "Now," he continued, "Mr. Narciso has the license where he lives, and I doubt that he's going to open a bar there. He'll have it to sell, or transfer, or just hold until he gets ready to move, and I think this is in general a bad policy." The city is also carrying inactive licenses for the Marine Grill, 714 Cookman the Yellow Roof, 1019 Main and Kurt H. Bielfelt, 717 Mat-tison Ave.

The status of Mr. Bielfelt's license, however, will be determined after a hearing on an appeal to the ABC.

Critics of the reform bill include highly liberal Republican governors John Love of Colorado, Daniel Evans of Washington, William Milliken of Michigan. Even conservative Reagan phrased his opposition in fiscal terms when talking to Mr.

Nixon in California two weeks ago. Medical provisions of the bill alone, Reagan told the President, would cost his state $20 million extra annually. When Mr. Nixon expressed doubt, Reagan got quick confirmation from Caspar Weinberger, the new federal budget chief. The fact that such worries extend beyond Reagan was not fully impressed on the administration until last week when Gov.

Evans, one of the party's most articulate liberals, surfaced in opposition. Having toted up the figures to find that the bill adds $40 million in annual state spending, Evans wrote a sharp letter to Secretary Richardson and to his fellow governors. Open Republican opposition increased as the governors conference On NBC's "Meet the Press," the bill was sharply attacked by moderate Gov. Norbert Tiemann of Nebraska (whose state welfare experts estimate the program would enlarge Nebraska's welfare rolls by 100 per cent). Gov.

Richard Ogilvie, a Nixon loyalist, arrived here to warn that new welfare regulations threaten "to bankrupt us in Illinois." Only party loyalty has prevented sharper outbursts. Undeniably, further escalation in the high cost of welfare is what really bothered Republican governors far more than irritation that neither President Nixon nor Vice President Agnew is attending the governors conference, than overpublicized bickering about lack of liaison with the White House, than pain caused by continued cutbacks in federal highway funds. The administration is deeply concerned. When HEW received Evans letter, Under-Secretary John G. Veneman telephoned the governor to express hope that differences would be reconciled.

Furthermore, Veneman made the point that the administration could not afford losing support from a liberal governor it had been counting on. The fate of welfare reform could be at stake. With far-left ideologues and economic conservatives now combined against the program for reasons of their own, concentrated opposition of most of the nation's governors could be just too much for the reform bill to bear. Inside Report By ROWLAND EVANS And ROBERT NOVAK LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. The reason why Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) officials from Secretary Elliot Richardson on down were swarming all over this week's national governors conference was a new threat to President Nixon's welfare reform: Rising opposition from key Republican governors.

Nixon administration officials, anticipating an early release of the reform bill from long hibernation in the Senate Finance Committee, became aware of the opposition from the governors shortly before the conference assembled. Indeed, until recently, most governors themselves were not overly concerned. What happened was that neither the Nixon administration nor Republican governors previously had added up all the figures. Their unpleasant finding: The welfare reform bill, as formed in Congress, will increase welfare costs in Northern industrialized states a politically unendurable burden for governors deeply scarred by past tax increases. The result is political irony.

Mr. Nixon's only major piece of social welfare legislation could prove catastrophic for governors all of them Republicans in populous Northern states now carrying the heaviest tax and welfare burdens. On the other hand, the bill provides some budget relief for Southern and border state governors, most of them Democrats. While Republican governors played golf and rode yachts on Lake Ozark this week, their aides and HEW technicians were trying to work their way out of the mess. But to undo what has been done so far will not be easy.

And if left undone, Mr. Nixon will face the spectacle of his own party's governors in active opposition to his top priority legislative proposal. Until now, Nixon administration strategists had regarded Republican foes of the bill principally conservative Senators on the Finance Committee and Gov. Ronald Reagan of California as ideologically opposed to family-assistance cash payments as a "guaranteed annual wage." Particularly suspicious Nixon men perceived a Reagan maneuver undercutting Mr. Nixon on the Republican party's right wing.

In truth, most Republican governors like the family-assistance principle. What they don't like about the bill has little to do with Ideology and everything to do with dollars Mi SERVICE LIQUOR ZriW DEPARTMENT ft WTO 3t4 AVE. at RAILROAD I LUiliiiii ASBURY PARK Now Open WS r. 1. TKwt.

Many physicians are too timid about it. As a laxative or physic casacara sagrada (sacred bark), the bark of Rhamnus pur-shiana, a shrub of the Pacific states of the United States, is no better and no worse than a dozen, other popular physics, in my opinion. But for once I'll go along with recognized medical authorities who assert, for instance, that if very small doses are taken two or three times a day, the general effect Is better than one large dose daily. Furthermore, the authorities say, cascara used this way does not lose its efficiency, but on the contrary may be gradually reduced untd colon function is restored to normal and there is no further need for cascara. That I gotta see.

Whatever I may have said in Lesson 25, 1 now believe cascara should be used as a tonic to the colon, not a laxative, and in this way it is a help to anyone who wants to break the constipation habit. So if you are serious about it, I suggest that you begin two weeks before you go on strike taking each morning, noon, and evening a table containing about 3V4 grains extract of cascara sagrada, a milligram of thiamin and a grain of yeast concentrate. ConUnue this for a week after you have quit taking Physics, provided it does NOT produce any agpfaryent laxative effect. If it does, cut the daily intake to two tablets, and, in any case for several months after you have stonDcd taking the cascara-yeast-thiamin ton-S it is essential for success that you get an optimal daily ration of Bomplex, either from an improved diet or from a suitable supplement.
