EXTENDING FRIENDSHIP Miss Susan McAlvanah, kneeling, daughter of and Mrs. James McAlvanah of 644 Boulevard, Westfield, is shown with the children of a family living in the slums of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Miss McAlvanah, who spent 14 months in the country with the Catholics for Latin America, is home for a month's vacation. Ruberoid Strike over Wages South Bound Brook A strike at the bustling Ruberoid Company plant here yesterday caused the first production logical problem for the men, who soon find their families being aided by children who polish shoes or sell candy, sometimes leading to a break up of the family unit, she said. The majority of the poor people live in communities called "villas," each one about five city blocks long and dotted with little one room huts made of wood or tin where an entire family re sides.

About 5.000 people live in the 150 villas scattered throughout the city, Susan said. Most of the poor people call them "Villas Miserias," meaning cities of misery. In fact one, Susan said, is called the "lacava." or the "pit." Because the government excavated the area and removed the soil about 10 years ago, there is a 6-foot depression, which is Often flooded, causing sickness among its inhabitants. Xeeded Ladder Stressing the need for the people to help thmselves, Susan said everyone agreed a ladder was needed for the "lacava" but for a time no one did anything about it. Then suddenly everyone became enthusiastic and each volunteered 10 or 15 cents or labor and soon the ladder became a reality, she recalled.

Education, training and a sense of pride in their life is most important, Susan said. Explaining how the lack of understanding could be almost disastrous, Susan told Upset Prosecutor To Request Dismissal Somerville A convicted burglar now serving 3-5 years in State Prison was granted a new trial yesterday on grounds that evidence used against him in the original trial was illegally seized. But without the evidence in question a safe containing $1,487 in cash the state would have no case against James F. Hampson, 32, of College Park, Md. A dismis sal of the charges will be asked, Acting Assistant Prosecutor Raymond R.

Trombadore said, following the hearing before Somerset County Judge J. Berkeley Leahy. Hampson and a partner, John J. Scanlon, were convicted by a jury June 19, 1963, of breaking into a building in Branchburg owned by the Tellepsen Construction Company on Dec. 28, 1962, and stealing the safe.

They were caught the same night by a Delaware state trooper who stopped their station wagon because it had no tail light. Hampson, who was driving, could not produce a driver's license so the trooper took them to the local magistrate's office. There the trooper pulled a blanket away from what he had been told was a "tool box" and discovered the safe. Last year, Scanlon appealed his conviction and the Appellate Division of Superior Court found that the safe had been illegally seized. The court ruled that an arrest for failure to produce a driver's license and having a broken taillight is not sufficient cause to search 'a motor vehicle without a search warrant.

The court noted that the evidence in the case compelled the conclusion that Hampson and Scanlon were guilty as charged, but there was no choice but to uphold a 1961 U.S. Supreme Court ruling on search and seizure, which considerably restricted such action without a warrant. Charges against Scanlon were dismissed in Somerset County Court on July 15 last year and he was released from prison. Dismissal of the counts against Hampson will be asked within two weeks and he too will be free. Neshanic Churches Neshanic A Children's Day observance tomorrow at 11 a.m.

Record Housing Expected Middlesex County Official Anticipates 'Phenomenal' Boom New Brunswick There's no let up in sight for a record pace of new home construction in Middlesex County. The county's housing boom broke all records last year, and according to projections by county Planning Director Douglas S. Powell will establish a new record this year. "It's just phenomenal!" Powell said yesterday. At least 9,000 new homes are expected to be built in the county this year compared to the record breaking 8,400 last year.

A projection used by Powell has been based "conservatively" on final subdivision approvals granted so far this year, coupled with the number of residential building permits going out and actual starts being made on home construction. Powell's records show that 1,236 building permits were issued during the first quarter of this year compared to 965 for the same period of last year. These totals, he points out. came in what is normally a slack period of the year. Records of final subdivision approvals in the county also reflect a 'boom trend.

More Subdivisions For the first five months of 1965, final subdivisions were approved for 560 lots covering 229 acres. This compared to 469 lots on 188 acres for the same period last year. The 1965 subdivisions provided for 35,237 linear feet of new streets compared to for the same period last year. A notable trend has been a continuing swing to larger lot sizes and larger homes. So far this year, lot sizes approved have averaged square feet against for last year.

Homes being approved now average square feet compared to 17,150 square feet last year. Move to Estates But what has impressed Powell most in the changing patterns of new home development has been a strong move to large "estate" development. "And this." he says, "points up the need for careful long-term planning with attention to major new sewage, water and road services." Will the boom continue? "Definitely," says Powell. 'It's a pattern the county will be experiencing to an increasing extent." The residential boom was being accelerated, he said, by housing needs created for industrial workers expected to be moving into the new 2.100-acre Raritan Center Industrial Park in Edison over the next few years; by a vast expansion of Rutgers University, and by other such major projects taking shape in the county. "Inevitably." he added, "it will have an impact on a wide range of services provided by the county.

"It's a trend which is here to stay, and one the county must be prepared to meet." Bound Brook Churches Bound Brook Dr. Wendell S.

That was the enthusiastic comment of Miss Susan Mc- Alvanah, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James McAlvanah of 644 Boulevard, who arrived back in the United States Thursday after having worked 14 months in the slums of Buenos Aires, Argentina, as a member of Catholics For Latin America (CFLA).

Miss McAlvanah again will depart for Argentina.

After her graduation from Holy Trinity High School, Susan entered the Maryknoll Missionary Sisters Convent at Maryknoll, N.Y., where she remained for 2V2 years.

However, maintenance, clothing and needs for all those who participate is provided for. Their work is to serve the poor directly in their basic needs; to involve the middle and upper classes in the work of aiding the poor and help the poor help themselves. Commenting on her work, Susan said. "The greatest need of the poor people in Argentina is encouragement and help to better their lives. This is what they most lack.

When we go there and actu ally settle down in their community they are mystified to find that there is someone who cares." "Helping them to educate themselves, offering love, un derstanding and friendship is so important," Susan added. Most of those who come to the cities are from farming dis tricts and are untrained, un skilled and face the problem of unemployment, she continued.

Long Jr. yesterday sentenced John Alward Jr. of Far Hills to a 2-year suspended term in Bordentown Reformatory and fined him $500 after Alward pleaded guilty to aiding and snutaown in nearly a century Shortly after noon, 232 noon, members of Federal Labor Union 22723, AFL-CIO, began leaving the plant, ensuring, according to union officials, "a safe and clean shutdown," of all production facilities for the first time in 79 years. The walkout was ordered by the union's negotiating committee following a dead locked session yesterday, one week after expiration of a 2- year labor contract. According to Charles Wel- sko, president of Local 22723, We could not back down 1 any lurtner in our Dargam-ing.

Since the presence of a federal mediator two weeks ago, we have modified our demands on four separate occasions. "Backed by a 5-1 rejection of management's proposal by the membership, and faced with the company's rejection of what little we wanted," said Welsko, "we were forced to begin an orderly withdrawal of all production employes and to establish a picket line. Monday afternoon, 9U per cent of the local member ship voted 163-35 to strike, giving the executive commit tee authority to negotiate beyond the contract deadline. Ruberoid director of in dustrial relations. L.

B. Far- rell, said: The union, strengthened by the rejection of the pro posal by its membership, increased its demands beyond a reasonable point." Welsko said the company proposal submitted to the membership called for a 2-cent an hour general increase for the first year of a 2-year contract, plus a 3-cent adjustment increase for mainten ance personnel. The union said a one-cent increase for the swing shift (persons who work Saturday and Sunday) was proposed, along with a $4 increase to $24 for hospitalization. A five-cent an hour second year increase also was proposed by management, Welsko said. After the contract rejection the union reportedly asked for a 10-cent per hour in crease for each year of the! new contract.

Welsko indicated that one of the reasons for the overwhelming rejection was dissatisfaction over the previous contract. "Two years ago," he said, "management pleaded poverty and we went along with a proposal which gave our membership an increase of ZVz cents hourly per year for two years. "However," he added, "shortly after signing the contract Ruberoid began plant construction in Florida and New York.
