Beleaguered Man in Street Wins 'Point' This may be the space age in which electronics prevail and computers add astronomical figures faster than the wink of an eye.

But last night's meeting of the Plainfield councilmanic Public Works Committee chalked up a point for the oft-forgotten man in the street. Councilmen spotted an item of $30 in the Public Works Department budget for "pushcart repairs." Seems the city still has a street sweeper tidying up the downtown area, and his two-wheeled cart is beginning to creak. Oh, yes! The otherwise massive budget request also contained an $8 appropriation for plumb bobs, down $1.79 from last year's $9.79. -jn8 fro Until Wdnt4oy Morning --o Daily Weather Almanac Low Tomorrow's Weather Morning Philadelphia Vicinity 52 Kew York City 52 Poconos 40 Miami 70 Ocean Temperatures, 8 a.m. today Coast Guard Station.

Kenneth Pearson of Watchung- Assembly Bill Clarifies Tax Formula The Courier-News Bureau TRENTON A bill to insure that corporations required to pay the retail gross receipts tax do not acquire immunity from the corporation business tax passed by the Assembly yesterday by 47-1. It was the only measure before the Assembly. The dissenting vote was cast by Douglas E. Gimson, R-Hunterdon, who said, "I guess you could call it a protest vote. I'm against the gross receipts tax in the first place." Speaking for the bill, Assemblyman Norman Tanzman, D-Middlesex, said the legislation was needed to clarify "certain ambiguities in the business tax reform law passed in 1966."

He said that election to office would make the prosecutors more independent and would serve to take them out of control by one party. He said his bill would not change the term of office or salary. Another change that Smith plans is a requirement that any candidate for the prosecutor's office must have 10 years experience as a New Jersey lawyer. Presently the law requires only five years experience to qualify for the office.

Smith's proposal is a sharp contrast to recent trends in law enforcement fields. Most changes in New Jersey and in other states has been to take the law enforcement offices out of elective politics to give them a greater degree of independence and security. Baker OKs Lie Detector WASHINGTON (AP) Bobby Baker, offering to take a lie detector test, neared the end to day of cross-examination in his Federal Court trial. The former secretary to Senate Democrats denied he pocketed $30,000 in campaign contributions intended for senators or that he evaded some $22,000 in income taxes in 1961 and 1962. He is charged with income tax evasion, larceny and conspiracy.

His account is that he turned campaign funds over to the late Sen. Robert S. Kerr, in labz, ana tnat JS-err loaned him $25,000. Asked by Prosecutor William O. Bittman about another $5,300, Baker said that over the years he and his wife, also a Senate employee, formed the habit, of "taking $100 from each other's pay," and saving it in cash in a safe at their home.

Busing Bill CalledUnfaii TRENTON (AP) A Bergen County assemblyman complain' ed yesterday that a parochial school busing bill now before the legislature is illogical and unfair. Assemblyman Robert E. Ha-mer, a Democrat, took issue with a bill sponsored by one of his county colleagues, John Ske- vin, also a Democrat. The mea sure has 33 sponsors, two more than the minimum number of votes needed for passage in the Assembly. Hamer, in an open letter to Governor Hughes, called for substantial modifications in Ske- vin's proposal.

Hamer said Skevin's measure would give tax-paid transporta tion to seme parochial school students while others at the same school would not qualify for it. Under Skevin's bill, a school district providing buses for public school students would be required to give the same service for students in parochial and private schools. But Hamer contended that many parochial schools have students from several different districts, some with buses and some without. He said under Skevin's bill some parents may find themselves paying additional taxes for parochial busing while their children attending parochial schools will not have use of it. Would Have Utilities Bury Lines at Airports The Courier-Netcs Bureau TRENTON A law to require utilities to bury lines near airports was proposed yesterday by Assemblyman Raymond H.

Bateman, R-Somerset, with the support of Assemblyman Harry L. Sears, R-Morris and Assemblyman Robert N. Wilentz, D-Middlesex. Under terms of the bill, existing overhead lines within 500 feet from runway approaches and within 200 feet from the sides of runways would have to be put underground at the utilities expense. Future lines in the vicinity of airports would also be required to go underground.

Licensing Questioned The Courier-News Bureau TRENTON The state Su preme court today strongly questioned the constitutionality of New Jersey 1962 law licens ing and regulating the electrical contracting business. The court remanded the suit against the law with a request that the state supply answers to its questions against the validity of the law. The state's highest court said the state board of examiners of electrical contractors was "ob ligated" to submit evidence sup porting "a rational relation be tween the statutory scheme and the evil to be met.

However, the court's 7-0 deci sion continued, "we hesitate to strike down as unconstitutional a police power enactment of the legislature where there may be additional factual proofs strongly bearing on the questions raised without giving the opportunity to present such evidence." The court then listed eight major questions for which it hopes answers will be provided at a re-hearing, all of the queries relating to the goal of the law to reduce the "public evil of faulty electrical work." The court retained jurisdic tion. N. J. Scholarship Changes Sought The Courier-News Bureau TRENTON A bill sponsored by Assemblyman Richard S. Hyland, D-Camden, would prohibit any New Jersey scholar ship aid from being used at a college practicing racial discrimination.

The bill, co-sponsored by Assemblyman Joseph Woodcock, R-Bergen, also would revise the ratio of New Jersey scholarships which can be used at out-of-state colleges. Hyland admitted that the rider to the bill would virtually eliminate state universities in the Deep South from consideration by New Jersey students receiving state scholarship aid. State universities in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and other states still practice racial discrimination although they are technically mtegrated.

Williams Lauds LB J's Proposals The Courier-News Bureau WASHINGTON Senator Harrison Williams, said President Johnson's message yesterday on older Americans was "a massive check-list of work that needs doing now." Williams is chairman of a special Senate committee on aging. Williams said he was pleased to see proposals to bring Social Security benefits "to more adequate and uniform levels." "Probably one of the most significant sentences in the message is the President's call for a study of costs that would be involved if prescription drugs were put under Medicare," he added.

The New Jersey Democrat said in a statement he agreed that Medicare had not solved all the health problems of the elderly, and referred to his bill to provide health screening for people 50 and over. Williams also said he was happy the President directed the Office of Economic Opportunity to "initiate and expand" programs for the elderly.
