Kean yesterday picked Hazel Frank Gluck, Lake-wood, the executive director of the state lottery, to succeed Kenneth D.

Merin as commissioner of insurance. Merin was appointed director of policy and planning and assumes the post previously held by Gary Stein, who was sworn in as an associate justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court on Friday. Mrs. Gluck, who nomination must be approved by the state Senate, was in Florida, said Carl Golden, the governor's press secretary. Mrs.

Gluck could not be reached for comment. Jasper J. Jackson, of Montclair, director of the Division of Legislative and Regulatory Affairs in the Department of Insurance since June, will be named the department's deputy commissioner and serve as acting commissioner until the Senate acts on Mrs. Gluck's nomination, Kean said. Golden said the Senate should act upon Mrs.

Gluck's nomination when it come back into session some time this week. Until then a new lottery chief would not be picked, Golden said. Merin, of Lawrence Township, became acting insurance commissioner missing ently in good spirits, went out for his daily walk and has never been heard of or seen since. "It's a dead end right now," Dover Township Detective Robert Hayes said of the Warren case. "We've tried every angle possible." Police and others involved in missing persons' investigations say Warren's case is rare.

While many people are reported missing each year, virtually all are later accounted for. In 1983, there were 189,532 missing person entries in the National Crime Information Center computer of "Bloods," a book by former Time magazine foreign correspondent Wallace Terry. The conspicuous absence of black faces at the ceremonies at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., in November prompted more discussion about the special plight of minority veterans. "Bloods" is what black soldiers in Vietnam called themselves. Terry, who covered the Vietnam War for Time, simply let black veterans speak their minds.

The picture that emerged is one of black veterans who went to Vietnam to escape poverty, who were made to feel more guilty than their fellow white soldiers about fighting a third-world country, and who returned home to JAMES J.

By year's end, 182,374 had been accounted for, said FBI spokesman Michael McDonnell. That's a "deletion" rate of 96 percent. The statistics also show that three-quarters of all missing persons are juveniles, most of whom are found or return home a short time later. In December, 667 New Jersey juveniles were entered as missing in the NCIC computer and 536 were deleted by month's end. There are still 1,195 juveniles in the state who are listed See WOMAN page A5 problems poverty, unemployment, and discrimination.

"Not enough discussion of (the problems of black Vietnam veterans) has hit significant places for anybody to do anything about it," said James Crcdle, assistant dean of students at Rutgers University, Newark campus. Crcdle, a combat medic in Vietnam, is national secretary of the National Association of Black Veterans. "They have the same kinds of problems that everybody has," Crcdle said, "but they're compounded because they have no support mechanisms." Black veterans tend to shy away from the traditional support groups See BLACKS page A5 second-floor bedroom. Cynthia Foy Grimes, who was renting the second floor apartment of the two-story, wood-frame house, ran downstairs after the fire was discovered to tell first-floor residents to call police, but because of the intense heat and flames she could not get back upstairs to save the children. Serena Foy, the mother of the 10-month-old who died in the blaze, dropped her 2Vyear-old son through a kitchen window and then followed him.

Both were uninjured. Cynthia Foy Grimes, Serena Foy and Linda Yarborough, the mother of the 7-year-old who died, are all sisters. The cousins were visiting Ms. Grimes' children when the fire broke out. A funeral service was held Thursday at New Light Baptist Church, Aberdeen Township, for the four children who died last week.

She apparently left on foot, took no extra clothes, no money, no pocket-book, no reading glasses and even left behind her ever-present cigarettes. She didn't take her false teeth. "That's the thing that really bugs me," Stavitskie said.

Her husband, Alexander, admits their marriage was not going smoothly, but does not believe his 56-year-old Donovan invitation unofficial By ROBIN GOLDSTEIN Press Washington Bureau WASHINGTON Labor Secretary Raymond L. Donovan, the first cabinet officer to be indicted while in office, has been invited to next weekend's Presidential Inauguration but as a "private citizen," rather than as a member of the administration, according to the inaugural committee. When President Reagan is sworn in for his second term, it will be Ford B.

Ford, the acting head of the Labor Department, rather than Donovan, who will stand beside him with the other cabinet members, inaugural spokesman Will Cat-tan said. Donovan, of Millburn Township, N.J., has been on unpaid leave of absence from the secretary's office since Oct. 1, when he was indicted for larceny and fraud. The charges date back to 1979 and 1980, when Donovan was an executive with Schiavone Construction of Secaucus, N.J. An aide said Friday that Donovan has not decided yet whether to attend the inaugural festivities.

Donovan's indictment presented something of an etiquette problem for the inaugural planners, since there is no precedent for where to seat an indicted cabinet officer. Getting indicted is apparently not a social liability in Washington. So far, Donovan has received invitations to 42 different parties, lunches, could turn a number of ways.

In the long, hot summer of 1967, he had recently returned to his native Newark from Vietnam. Riots were raging in the black ghetto where he had grown up and where his family still lived. "I saw the same types of methods that were being used in Vietnam being used against my people," said Mosley, now 41 and a veterans counselor with Rutgers University in Newark.

Severely burned boy dies said. "I thought they were on maneuvers," he added. The experience left "deep, emotional scars" on him, Mosley said. "I had done my part to defend my country and I came home and they were turning (the guns) on my family," Mosley said. The windows in the apartment where his family lived had been shot out, he said.

"If you weren't on the floor, you'd be killed instantly," Mosley said. Mosley's experience may not be typical of minority Vietnam veterans. But it is, perhaps, indicative how some of those veterans face a different set of problems than their white counterparts. Those problems began to come to the fore in 1984 with the publication How about '85? Real estate people are hoping this year is as good as last Real Estate1-1 Sumy Highs in mid 30s. Low in the 20s.
