J. Teacher Fund Diverted to Relief TRENTON. N. March 29 (A. P.

The New Jersey Assembly adopted by a 35 to 18 vote tonight a Senate bill diverting $4,890,398 from the teachers' pension and annuity fund to unemployment relief. Passed by the Senate last week, the bill now goes to the Governor. It did not appropriate any money for relief, but it authorized the State Treasurer to pay the pension fund $4,890,398 with interest from school district loans when they been fully repaid- that is, by 1942-and it forbade payment of any other money to the fund for the coming fiscal year. This left free a corresponding anticipated surplus in general State funds, since the pension fund payment ordinarily would come out of them. Governor Moore has the authority to take it for relief without further legislative enactment if necessary at the rate of $2,000,000 8 month until exhausted, to meet the relief problem until other money becomes available with the new fiscal year on July 1.
