Worth Flainlield) FIj 5-9125, WITH PURCHASE OF rcn nn ir ever to Th exciting eomet in 2- and Wonderful New World of j(q) 2 jil Approval Of Davis Hits Sna Trenton (JP) The state Senate has refused quick confirmation of William Howe Davis of Orange, state alcoholic beverage director, for a dual job as amusement games czar. Governor yesterday submitted the surprise nomination of Davis, who draws $18,000 a year for policing the state's bars and liauor stores. Meyner said the move would save the $14,000 salary for supervisor of the boardwalk and carnival games approved in the Nov. 3, election, and also save on operating costs. But the Senate Republicans caucus decided maybe the Bingo-Raffles Commission should watch over the boardwalk games if there's to be a dual job, and held up on the appointment.

Part-time Opposed Senator Charles W. Sandman CR-Cape May) said he was flatly opposed to having Davis devote part time to the task. Other senators also wondered if a full time director was needed. The action has the effect of postponing the legal start of games of chance for several months. The Senate won't be back until Jan.

12 and the games czar must be appointed, draft rules and issue $100 state licenses to games operators before the cry of "try your skill at throwing" can be heard again along the shore. The Senate did confirm six nominees by Meyner, including Raymond II. Male of Princeton as state labor commissioner at $20,000 a year. This left 36 nominations in committee, including Ned J. Parse-kian of Flemington as state motor vehicle director, and Theodore J.

la Brecque of Red Bank as a Superior Court judge. Mm'rvritv Leader George V. Harper (R-Sussex) said the 1959 Senate would meet briefly Jan. 12 and probably confirm a few pending appointments, including judges in Bergen and Morris counties. Must be Resubmitted But he said the other nominations would have to be changed or re-submitted in 1960, including that of Parsekian.

Male, mayor of Princeton, has been acting labor commissioner for the past two months, succeeding the late Carl Holderman. Mrs. Thelma P. Sharp of Bridgeton took his old job as head of the state Civil Service Commission. Among nominations sent to the Senate yesterday but not confirmed immediately: Morris County Court Judge Nelson K.

Mintz of Morristown to succeed William A. Hagarty, who resigned, as a Superior Court judge. Scott M. Long Jr. of Morns-town to succeed Mintz as county judge.

GOP Fidits Conflicts Bill Trenton (JP) The Republican Majority in the New Jersey Senate is still opposed to an Assembly bill designed to prevent conflict of interest among lawmakers and other state officials. The Senate wound up its lawmaking activities for 1959 yesterday without acting on the bill. Senator Walter II. Jones (R-Bergen), an advocate of the measure, said he argued for it in the GOP caucus but without success. Majority Leader George B.

Harper (R-Sussex) said the bill had "little or no support" among the Republicans. The bill would impose criminal penalties for actions by an official in conflict with his public responsibilities. The Senate set up its own Ethics Committee to police conduct of the senators without strong penalties. Park Still Uncertain Washington (JP) The Army said today a plan to turn portions of Sandy Hook. N.

into a public park is still in the talking stage. "Nothing is certain," a Pentagon spokesman said. "It's still in the study stage." The Sandy Hook Park Committee, headed by Thomas Mc-Clintock, has proposed creation of a park operated by Monmouth County, N. on the Sandy Hook peninsula. Because Fort Hancock is located on Sandy Hook, government permission would be needed to establish a park there.

Takes All Calmly Davis has taken it all in stride and he remains the same articulate, soft-spoken public official he was the day he took office in 1955.

His conduct in office has impressed Governor Meyner to the extent that yesterday Meyner nominated him to supervise boardwalk and carnival games. It was a surprise nomination and the Senate refused quick confirmation of it. Some of them apparently feel that one man isj incapable of doing justice to both jobs. Davis "served as Democratic mayor of Orange for three terms before taking over his present post. It was a job he had no experience in, and he spent his initial months in office just familiarizing himself with the scope of his position.

However, it didn't take him long to "convince the liquor industry that in his own quiet way, he was boss. When he felt price wars were stepping up consumption of alcoholic beverages, he warned wholesalers to abide by the prices they had set or else face dropping of controls. The wholesalers complied. Davis also decided that his organization could work to maximum efficiency if inspectors were shifted from one territory to another. Self-Supporting Task One of Davis' more important acts was to place his division on a self-supporting basis.

It maintains itself from money collected in licensing. Davis is a lawyer but he really hasn't had much time to devote to his practice since 1955. He's also a pretty fair golfer (low 80s) but his job forced him to eliminate his mid-week sessions on the fairway. Now he's just a weekend golfer. When he can't play golf, he bowls to keep in shape.

Although not one to stand in the way of social drinking, Davis never has taken any nonsene from those who might abuse the si right to consume or sell liquor. jj For example, one tavern want- ed to give away free records tog the first 50 patrons arriving jw there nightly. Nothing doing, Davis replied. i "Such a plan for the first 'Fortunate 50' would tomorrow lead to albums for the 'Thirsty 30," or perhaps a record player for the first 'Frenzied Davis also nixed another tavern owner's request to install an automatic liquor dispenser with these words: Human Eyes Needed "Drinks should be served by the tavernkeeper and not by an impersonal machine operated at the whim or caprice of a patron dropping a coin. "I have heard of machines that levitate, gyrate, formulate, calculate, and almost cogitate, but I have not yet heard of a machine that can say 'no' to a minor or any.

other persons who should not be served." Another example of Davis wit Present Arrives Early Ventura, 'Calif. (JP) Christmas arrived early at this coastal California city.
