The Suprem" Court justices unanimously voted to overturn the earlier decisions In fatvor of the station by Superior Court Judge Merritt Lane Jr. and Appellate Division Superior Court Judges Francis X. Crahay and Robert Matthews.

The Shell (Vl Co. had sought the variance lo build a station on the site in a commercial 7.one, but on Ma 26, 1970, the Zoning Board refused to recommend the variance to the Borough Council.

CEEOTO 775-3800 222-1200 rs. Lobbyist Guides Given TRENTON (API The State Election Law Enforcement Commission Issued detailed regulations yesterday explaining a new requirement that all lobbying groups disclose how much they spent to influence legislation.

The commission had previously announced that it would require the financial reports by March 15. The commission said the regulations cover five categories of politically influential organizations: non-profit associations, such as the League of Women Voters; trade and business associations and labor unions, corporations and business partnerships; legislative agents who are specifically hired to lobby for or against bills, and political party committees. The rules have been challenged in a federal court suit by the American Civil Liberties Union, a non-profit organization that opposes a requirement that it reveal contributors to the organization. The ACLU said the rules could dissuade contributions to unpopular political causes. The election law enforae-ment commission said (hat organizations must reveal the names and addresses of all contributors who donate more than $100 toward political or legislative activity.

The same figure was adopted last year under the new campaign disclosure law that requires candidates to reveal how much they raised and spent in running for election. The election commission also announced that only that portion of corporate and organization budgets which Is used for political and legislative activity must be reported under the regulations. The agency said that lobbyists can meet the Match 15 deadline if they deliver their reports to the commission office in Trenton or mail the reports with a postmark of no later than March 15. fWADBj MUSIC 1 24 HRS.

PAl'LA M. GROSSMAN Teacher's Dismissal Is Upheld TRENTON (AP)-The state's second highest court yesterday upheld the dismissal of a teacher who underwent a sex change because it said her presence in class could cause students emotional disturbance. Mrs. Paula M. Grossman, 54, lost an appeal before the Appellate Division of Superior Court to be reinstated with tenure in the Bernards Township school system.

The Appellate Division said, "we are convinced that where, as has been found In this case, a teacher's presence in the classroom would create a potential for psychological harm to the students, the teacher is unable properly to fulfill his or her role and his or her incapacity has been established." The court upheld a decision by the state Board of Educa-. tion which had substantially ruled in favor of the local school board in Bernards Township, a Somerset County community. But the Appellate Division reinstated back pay for Mrs. Grossman for a period of time following her suspension from teaching in 1971. Also, the court said nothing in its ruling would bar Mn.

Grossman from seeking another teaching job. "We express no opinion with respect to her fitness to teach elsewhere and under circumstances different from those revealed in the present case," the court said. Mrs. Grossman was suspended from teaching after undergoing the sex change operation. Before that, sne had taught music in Bernards Township for about 14 years as Paul Monroe Gov.

In the other questioned business, banking, Mrs, Klein owns 841 shares of the First Morris Bank while her husband owns 1920 shares. Combined, their bank shares are valued at $104,000. Mrs.

Klein's difficulties were resolved when it was decided there was no immediate need for her and her husband to divest themselves The governor" said the projected enrollment at both Newark and Piscataway next year was 731 students. He said he could not estimate the exact increase the planned south Jersey program would require, although he indicated it would be substantial and might approach 50 per cent of current enrollment. For several years the construction of a medical school in southern New Jersey was thought to hinge on whether or not the Veterans Administration would build a new hospital there that could be used as a teaching facility. But federal officials said location of a hospital in southern New Jersey would depend on the creation of a medical school there. Byrne said it would probably take seven years for a VA hospital to open.

In the meantime officials are counting on the "school without, walls" concept to close the gap in needed medical education in the southern part of the slate.
