Following the meeting of the li cense committee the Alms Commit tee met informally with Director Albert W. Drake and Deputy Direc tor Arthur J. Williams of the Plain-field Emergency Relief Administra tion. For an hour Mr. Drake dismissed relief, explaining that it Is nothing new.

A budget of $5,665 was adopted tentatively as compared with a budget ct $5,625 last year.

Knser Feels Commission Needs More Expert Advice and Transac tions Should Be Subject to More Publicity Trenton (JP) A legislative com mittee Which initiated in April an investigation of transactions of the State Sinking Fund Commission Shopes to submit to the Legislature within three weeks a report recom mending changes in -policies. Although the committee was re luctant to discuss probable recom mendations before studying the voluminous testimony, Senator Dry-den Kuser of Somerset, the chair man, said at the inquiry's conclu sion last night he personally felt the commission needed more expert ad vice and its transactions should be given more publicity. Tne commission members are Gov. A.

Harry Moore, State Treasurer Albert Middleton and. Comp troller John McCutoheon. Middle ton and McCutcheon, called before the committee, defended purchases and were confident the fund's in vestments were sound. Moore, who cannot be subpoenaed, declined an invitation to appear, saying he was busy preparing his annual message to the Legislature. The committee planned to ask the new Legislature convening Tuesday to continue its authority, but Kuser said that would not be done because "we have enough evidence now." Enough Evidence "I consider the evidence already in," he said, "sufficient to have justified the investigation." There is a possibility, the conflhit-tee may recommend the commission engage a securities expert to advise it on purchases, as recommended by Princeton University.

Asked if he favored the proposal, Kuser replied "that or a modification of it." At a recent session he said Governor Moore was in "full accord" with the Princeton proposal. During the six-hour hearing yesterday, Robert H. McCarter, committee counsel, asked McCutcheon if he believed in the "propriety" of the Princeton suggestion. "I don't know that they could Improve it," McCutcheon, replied, referring to the status of the fund. McCarter indicated the answer was not satisfactory, and when McCutcheon launched a defense of the fund, McCarter said he didn't want a "stump speech." The copious record includes these statements: Testimony of a broker that the commission in two years paid approximately $400,164 more for municipal securities than their "fair market price; Defense by the commission of its activities, including assertions the fund will profit in some instances by higher interest rates on bonds obtained by the commission in exchanges; The fund's total investment is about $70,000,000, of which $2,167,000, plus Interest of $746,333, was in de fault on Nov.

The fund has a surplus of The fund borrowed $3,500,000 from the Motor Vehicle Department on July 1, 1933, and a similar amount on Jan. 1 to meet maturing obligations; Blocked by Newspapers The commission purchased in January, 1933, $500,000 of Atlantic City tax revenue securities, after disapproving four months previously a proposed exchange of of its securities for a similar amount of Atlantic City bonds because the shore resort's bonds were not readily marketable; McCutcheon said the "hue and cry" raised by newspapers prompted the disapproval; Declaration by Kuser that about 10 per cent of the commission's holdings include $4,992,000 of Clifton bonds and $3,330,000 of Woodbridge bonds, municipalities with total, population of Assertion by Kuser that when municipalities approach the sinking fund for aid, the fund "has no money, but one of 12 brokers go to the fund, it always had Charge by Wjlliam J. Dwyer, official of a bond house, that the committee is "committing sabotage" with the state's credit. The hearing yesterday, much of it a monotonous recitatimi of figures, was punctuated often by clashes between witnesses and Mc-Cai-ter.

Once Middleton called a qutstion by McCarter "dumb," and later said, trying- to deceive the public." "That's an excuse someone invented for you," McCarter replied. "I'm trying to save money for the state." Old Company's Lehigh Coal, the best for over 100 years. Cashin Coal Co. Tel. Plfld 6-3368.

Meisel Monday at 11 a. m. when a revised county budget will be presented and a date designated for a public hearing.

The meeting was arranged today following a conference be tween the director and County Treasurer Arthur N. Pierson. Board members held an informal session last night at which they discussed plans to reduce the. ten tative budget now before them which was approved by the outgoing large board. A public heating on the budget was held Wednesday.

Taxpayer associations have re quested a clipping of at least 10 per cent from the figure. The freehold ers' finance committee will meet tomorrow to consider further possl ble reductions. Indications are drastic cuts are contemplated, some following suggestions made by taxpayer groups at Wednesday's hearing. County Used 300 Men Upon Roads, Is Kling Report The Courier-Hews Elizabeth Bureau Elizabeth To relieve the unemployment situation, some 300 to 400 men were used in construction of highways in Union County during 1933, according to the annual report of Herman Kling, Plainfield, supervisor of county roads, to the Board of Freeholders. The road projects thus worked on were: Tucker Avenue and Salem Road, Union; LaGrande Avenue and Westfield Road, Fan wood 20th Street, Kenilworth; Maple Street, New Providence Borough; Glenside Avenue, New Providence Township; Amsterdam Avenue, Roselle; Westfield Road, Scotch Plains; Rahway Avenue, Westfield, and Glenside Avenue, Summit and New Providence.

All was completed except that in Union. All shoulders and gutters on county roads were degraded and cleaned during the year, the report states. A great part of this work was accomplished with emergency relief labor. For economy purposes there no traffic lines marked on any of the county roads during the year. CNJ Given Permission To Dismiss Two Agents Trenton central Railroad received authority from the Public UtilHiy Commission today to dismiss one agent at either Calif on or Long Valley on its High Bridge branch, and let the remaining agent handle both stations.

Adv. 5 Hermit's 62 Acres And 77 Cents May Go to Township The Courier-New Somerville Bureau Somerville Sixty-two acres of land which belonged to Louis Casaccia, the 72-year-old hermit of Sourland Mountain who died Sunday in his lonely shack, will come into the possession of Hillsboro Township eventually unless heirs or next of kin are discovered, which is considered doubtful. This mountain land and 77 cents found in the shack by State Troop ers make up the entire estate. No trace of any kin was found although a careful search of Casac-cia's papers was made. The lonely man he lived alone more than 30 years in the shack far back from the nearest road tilled only a small portion of his land.

A few years ago he paid off a mortgage on the property and It stands unencumbered except for taxes- due to the town of Hillsboro. Casaccia was buried Wednesday and the burial expenses were paid by the town, which thereby became a creditor. Whether the town will apply for administration of an insolvent estate has not been determined, but In the absence of heirs or next of kin, ownership of the hermit's lands will be vest ed in the town eventually. Those Who Quit Jobs Far CWA's Positions Will Be Dismissed Newark Individuals, whether men or women, who quit job3 in regular industries to take employment under the Civil Works Administration in any post will be dismissed from the latter upon discovery of the facts. Specific instructions to pursue this policy has been sent to county directors of relief following receipt from the Federal Civil Works Administration of a reply to a specific request of the New Jersey administration for a formal ruling.

Washington has directed that any such complaints received by the state CWA be investigated immediately and that if the complaint appears justified the offender against the regulation is to be dropped immediately. The county directors have also been informed it will be proper to use Emergency Relief Administration investigators for work on such cases. Two Rhodes Scholars From N. J. Selected Princeton (IP) George Vincent, secretary of the New Jersey committee of selection for Rhodes scholarships, announced today the selection of this state's two candidates.

Adv. 5 represented him today as pleased both at the general tenor on Capitol Hill and the speed at which Congress is tackling it3 tasks. Indications came from the White House, meanwhile, that Mr. Roose velt is giving renewed consideration to his bi-metalic monetary program. Leaders of the silver bloc in the Senate were predicting optimistic ally today a new Administration move to aid the cause of the white metal.

At the Capitol, Democratic leaders of the House held hope that chamber might pass on to the Senate before nightfall the Administration's $470,000,000 liquor tax bill. Adding to the buzz of Washington activity the Treasury today moved for a quick start toward credit borrowings that In the next six months will total $10,000,000,000 nearly twice the actual amount of money now in circulation. It got down to work also in compiling a war debt statement demanded by the Senate. As the Roosevelt-Congress domestic program took shape, word came from Senator Robinson of Arkan sas, the Democratic leader, as the aftermath of a White House parley that the long pending protocol for American adherence to the World Court would be sidetracked but that early consideration would be given to ratification of the pact with Canada for development of the St. Lawrence Waterways The general support given his message to Congress and his startling nine billion dollar deficit announcement, was received quite calmly by the President as he turned to details of his congressional program.

Indications of new Administration action to aid silver were strengthened today by Senator Robinson's confident prophesy that there would bs silver legislation at this session. Silver Leaders Happy Observers coupled this forecast with the fact that support for action favoring the white metal apparently has grown on Capitol Hill. They pointed out also that two Democratic silver leaders in the Senate Wheeler of Montana and King of Utah appeared pleased after a talk with Mr. Roosevelt yesterday but would not predict Presidential approval of their 16 to 1 measure. Apparently something is in the wind, but those who have talked with the President concerning hio monetary policy that a new domestic money plan is in the offing.

Here again, Mr. Roosevelt has cast aside international negotiations, asserting other nations are not prepared for permanent currency sta bilization on a world wide basis. The whole Administration-congressional program is very pointedly based on a domestic readjustment. As soon as Secretary Hull returns from the Pan-American Conference at Montevideo, the President go over and transmit to Congress his reciprocal tariff plan but even that contemplates no world-wide tariff revision. Rather it will center on understandings with individual nations.

A little later, and probably in the same connection, Mr. Roosevelt will propose something on war debts. While still determined to concentrate primary attention upon budget matters," the President is expected to pass on to Congress shortly, pos- sibly through special messages, his requests on continuation of the RFC at least until June 30, continuation of the Civilian Conservation Corps, alteration of the NRA and Securities Acts, and possibly stock market regulation. Clearer Tomorrow A rainstorm which began with sleet and ice early this morning was Fcheduled to continue throughout the greater part of the day. Co-operative Observer S.

K. Pearson reported. A slight drop in the temperature will accompany clearing weather tomorrow, Mr. Pearson said. Today's minimum recorded at the Plainfield Weather Station was 30.

Several New Jersey communities reported hearing a planc motor, and efforts were made to resume communication with Burford to guild him to a landing field.

A checkup of the principal fountain stores in Plainfield revealed yesterday that repeal after one month has had no effect on sales. In most cases proprietors reported their business to have been better last month than in December, 1932. One manager said he believes ice cream and its accompanying refretkments fulfill a demand and have not, as many persons believe, merely served as substitutes for alcoholic beverages. Moore to Ask Diversion of License Fees Governor Expected to Ask Funds Be Used For Relief of Towns In Financial Distress Trenton (9 Diversion of of motor license and gasoline taxes to the relief of financially distressed municipalities with possible additional aid from a one per cent sales tax, it is learned authoritatively will be recommended to the Legislature by Gov.

A. Harry Moore. The Governor has consistently opposed new forms of taxation as imposing only additional burdens on the taxpayer, but he is understood to. favor a state sales levy for direct aid to municipalities provided absolute guarantees are given that local tax rates will be reduced proportionately. A federal sales tax is considered more equitable and effective than a state levy by the Governor, but, in his message to the Legislature next week, it is understood, he will approve the latter if there is no prospect of enactment of the former.

At bis inaugural, the Governor recommended diversion of of motor license and gaso line taxes for municipal aid, but was informed the actual cash was not available. His pending recommendation for relief, reported to be the 000 diversion, would probably re quire revision of the $13,700,000 construction program of the State Highway Receipts from motor license and gasoline taxes are used for road bond retirement and current construction costs.

It was his second air adventure within a month. Last Dec. 11 he bailed out of a mail plane over Cambria County, when his plane was caught in a terrific snowstorm. Burford took off from the airport at 12:03 o'clock this morning with a valuable mail cargo bound for Pittsburgh.

Regular Places Summon Men From CW Jobs Re-employment- Service Director Jim Lowe In terprets Calls as Concrete Signs of Recovery The Courier-News Somerville Bureau Somerville Definite improvement in industrial conditions was cited yesterday by Jim Lowe, director of the U. S. Re-employment Service here," when he stated his office is receiving calls asking that men be release from CWA projects to go back into their regular places. "There have been only a few calls as yet," said the director, "but they do indicate that the improvement is here." He added that as yet there are not many calls for men to go back into private employment.

By far the greater number of unemployed did not apply for assistance from the Emergency Relief Administration but were self sustaining. This is shown in the applications for work received by the Re-employment Service. When the Civil Works program was announced and a quota of about 1,300 men set for Somerset County, a statement was made that the quota would absorb all men on the Emergency Relief lists who were able to work. However, when announcement followed that 50 per cent of all labor would be taken from the Reemployment Service and registrations commenced with that service from unemployed in the county who had been self sustaining, the registrations ran for a long time at the rateof 140 to 145 a day. None of these had been on relief.

The registrations have continued without interruption, except that the number has diminished until now it is from 60 to 75 a day. Upsto Dec. 30, the Re-employment Service had received 3,590 applications for work from Somerset County residents. While the larger percentage of these applicants were cf the laboring class, yet the "white collar" class also was represented and there were many men with technical educations who were eager for employment. On Dec.
