The Senate readied it for passage next week. Passed and sent the Senate a bill to create a Metropolitan Rapid Transit District with five members each from New York and New Jersey to work on the commuter service crisis. Amended a college scholarship bill to compromise with a more generous Senate version and prepared it for passage next week. Passed 23 other measures. Senate Passed nine measures, including one to help police crack down on motorists who drive while their licenses were suspended or revoked.

The Gloucester County Republican was named to the three-man board by Governor Meyner yesterday and the Senate confirmed the nomination almost immediately. Served 13 Years Hannold, known as "Jake" to his friends, has served in the Senate 13 years. He was Senate president and acting governor in 1952.

His resignation faces the GOP in Gloucester with the uncomfortable problem of picking a candidate to stave off a major Democratic attack in the general election. Hannold's seat was one of the Rrime targets in the Democratic drive to win control of the Senate. Assemblyman Thomas- F. Con-nery (D-Gloucester) said he was seeking the Democratic nomination to succeed Hannold. The County Democratic Committee meets tomorrow to discuss a nominee, Connery said, and he knows of no other candidate seeking the party's nod.

Two Vacancies With Hannold gone, the Senate will be whittled down to 12 Republicans and 7 Democrats, with 2 vacancies. Senator W. Howard Sharp (D-Cumberland) died late last year. The Assembly also passed a bill providing long prison terms for state or school officials or employes who take money or ture. Assemblymen William F.

Hy-land (D-Camden) and Clifton T. Barkalow (R-Monmouth) sponsored a bill in the Lower House that would provide 300 new competitive scholarships a year, worth $400 each but good only at New Jersey colleges. Senators George B. Harper (R-Sussex), William E. Ozzard (R-Somerset) and Wayne Dumont Jr.

The Assembly also passed and sent the Senate a bill allowing use of federal and state beach erosion funds on the Hudson River and New York Bay shoreline. Assemblyman Robert Kay cast the only vote against the bill, explaining the Atlantic shore municipalities get little enough now and the appropriation should be hiked if others get the aid.

These Senate bills were passed and sent to the Assembly, listed sign until the bulk of the Legislature's work for this year was completed, probably sometime in June. He will succeed Joseph L.

The Senate bill, would cost $100,000 the first year and a year after the program had been in effect four years: Neither measure would affect existing scholarship programs for Rutgers University ana the six state colleges. Up to now, the Legislature has been deadlocked between a Senate Republican proposal to give $400 scholarships good anywhere to five per cent of the high school graduating class in the state each year and Governor Meyner's insistence on merely reappropriat-ing $100,000 provided in the present budget but not spent. Agrees with Meyner The Hyland-Barkalow compromise would go along with Meyner to the extent of requiring an additional appropriation of only $20,000 next year. The Harper Ozzard Dumont compromise would not require any additional appropriation next year.

Hyland said that unless the Assembly compromise is accepted, "I doubt that a scholarship program of any type can be agreed upon in time to permit students to enter college in September of 1S59." Harper said he wouldn't guarantee that the full Senate would go along with any compromise.

Speaker William F. Hyland predicts the Assembly eventually will pass a bill allowing freeholders in 17 of the state's 21 counties to vote themselves salary hikes. Despite the fact the bill got a lukewarm reception from Governor Meyner at the freeholder dinner last week, Hyland (D-Cain-den) said he felt the Governor would approve the bill since the pay raises were not mandatory. The Senate passed the measure last Monday. The salay scales would be based on the population of the counties affected.
