3. Carl Holder-man, state president of the CIO, today announced it is in favor of the state referenda for public housing and state institutions, but is urging rejection of the veterans' bonus referendum. "If the middle-income housing referendum is not approved," Holderman said, "the corroding effects of slum housing will soon cause the overcrowding of the new jails, asylums and hospitals to be built under the institutional referendum. "The veterans' bonus would re quire a new ana uniair tax on gross receipts of every business and profession. This sales tax would be imposed without any regard for the profitability of the business.

It would be passed on to consumers. It would cost the average veteran far more than he would receive. Although we have for many years urged adoption oi an ade' LESTER'S Nationally Advertised Prices THE PLACE 1 0i'W quate veterans bonui, we urge the defeat of this referendum and pledge our efforts to secure a bonus and a fair means to pay for it from the Legislature next year." The three referenda to be voted on at the Nov. 8 election call for a 525,000.000 bond issue to fl. nance state institution improve, ments, a $100,000,000 public hous ing issue and $105,000,000 for tho veterans' bonus payments.

Cantata na vicuna. contracts signed by "Big Steel." A joint announcement by Charles M. Jones, vice president in charge of public relations for the company, and William K. Robbins, international representative of the company, announced the pact became effective Saturday, insuring uninterrupted production at the two plants. "This entire area (District 7) could settle the strike in 24 hours If other manufacturers demonstrated the same spirit of collective bargaining we find in the Roebling plant," Ford said.

"This agreement is a tremendous victory for both labor nnrl wi i vn am Vtnsl 11 A 4 mil antees continuous production necessary to our general economy. "During the entire negotiations, both management and the union were concerned with maintaining the American principle of collective bargaining that has established a standard of living in our Nation that is the hope of free people everywhere," Ford, who also is a member of the international union's policy committee, said. Tar Kettle Blazes At 3rd and Line; 2 Alarms Rung An 80-gallon used for heating tar and asphalt, caught fire today in South Camden, throwing up clouds of black smoke. The blaze occurred while work men were stripping a tar roof from the home of 1 George Fabrizo, 301 Line Acting Eattalion Chief Harry Wagner said a strip of the roof landed on top of the kettle, igniting tar in an adjoining areaway.

The increase in school enrollment here and the need for more teachers will be discussed tomorrow when the local board proposes consolidation with four "sending dis tricts." Officials from the boards of ed ucation in Mansfield, Bordentown and Chesterfield townships and Fieldsboro borough have been in vited to attend the parley. Norman Elliott, president of the local board of education, and Robert M. Oberholser, supenn tendent of schools, are prepared with statistics to back their pro posal, tnrollment of "war babies" and consequent teacher hirings have increased the cost of education here, they contend, "Bordentown will need flnan cial help from the surrounding districts," Oberholser declared to day. "Within 10 years," he added, "we may have to add 10 to 15 classrooms to accommodate the war babies as they progress through the upper grades; this plus new arrivals of an age groups whose parents will occu' py 200 housing units now under construction in the Bordentown area. "The problem is a pressing one.

Even before the close of the 1949-50 school term we may be forced to hire another teacher or two, and it may be noecessary to add a teacher a year for the next five years. Court Declines To Rule on Tie in Woodland Vote Trenton, Oct. 3. Refusal of the Superior Court to declare Walter A. Brower winner of the Republican nomination for Woodland township (Burlington county) committee was upheld by the law division of the court today.

In an opinion written by Judge Nathan L. Jacobs, the appellate division held that the question of a tie vote in the primary between Brower and William T. Sloan is one that the Burlington county Republican committee must ae cide. After the primary election, the tie vote was referred to the town-ship's two Republican committee members, Charles B. Gray and Mrs.

Sadie T. Sloan, mother of one of the candidates. Gray voted for Brower and Mrs. Sloan for her son, creating a second tie. Brower then countered with the court action, contending that Sloan, in accepting a Democratic write-in vote for that party nomination, disqualified himself a.1 LI! irom receiving me rtepuuucan nomination.

This, the court ruled, was not true. Kidnaped Cirl, 4, Now With Mother Somers Point.

Board to Receive Plans for B' way, Haddon Ave. Jobs Plans and specifications for widening and repaying of both Broadway in Camden and Had don avenue through Westmont will be presented for approval of Camden freeholders at their meeting Tuesday. Both projects were to have been undertaken this year but businessmen asked they be post poned until next spring so there would be no conflict with their pre-Christmas trade and traffic. If they had been started this year, the work would have run into November when the Yule tide business begins. Freeholder Director Messenger and County Engineer Taylor complied with the request of the businessmen to hold oil the two jobs.

Messenger, director of highways, said the postponement would have no effect on the $275, 000 earmarked for the Broadway project or the $230,000 set aside for Haddon avenue. The county is paying the entire bill for the Broadway widening and repaying since this road is considered a primary road and not eligible for federal participa tion. The street is to be repaved from Broadway to Atlantic ave nue. The government is paying $115,000 of the $230,000 be spent for widening and repaying Haddon avenue, from Cuthbert boulevard to the township line at the railroad bridge. The street will be widened seven feet to in crease its width from 39 to 46 feet.

Messenger said that by approv ing plans and specifications now, the county can proceed with bids and award contracts so that the work can begin in early spring and be completed by October. "In addition, the delay will give the city the chance to check on its sewers under Broadway to determine their condition and plan whatever repairs may be neces sary," Messenger said.
