Only lOt, 3 -Rail facias 25e Ai' I Richard J. Lippincott, said the secret October 22 purchases "clearly violated" Article 8, Section 3, paragraph of the charter which reads: "No county shall be directly or indirectly the owner of any stock or bonds of any association or corporation." Conford, in argument before I the Appellate division yesterday, said he didn't know why the Burlington Bridge Commission found it necessary to buy the stock in order to take title to the spans but told tfle court it should continue a temporary restraint on any phase of the deal on that ground alone. Prior to the argument, Attorney Gen. Walter D. Van Riper secured delay until January 10 of a hearing on the Haines-Lippincott motion to have their case consolidated with the state's attack on the purchases.

Should Haines and Lippincott succeed, It would mean the Demo cratic freeholders would join the Republican state administration in attacking a deal put through by an county administration. Robert L. Hood, counsel for the Burlington Brjdge Commission, said attacks on the purchase made while the state was planning to acquire the toll spans for were "political." Listening to the argument was Maj. Gen. Clifford R.

Powell, Burlington Republican leader who resigned his command of the New Jersey National Guard under fire for his role in the bridge transaction. Powell has said he and his family grossed $500,000 from sale of their bridge stock to the county. Conford not only asked the Appellate division to continue the restraint imposed by Superior Court Judge Robert V. November 4, but to reverse itself on a court-appointed receiver. Kinkead ordered a receiver named and tolls lowered by the Bridge Commission restored to what they were before the sale, but the Appellate division knocked out the received November 8.

Conford said a legal attack on the transaction was questionable while the public "benefits from operation, of the bridges by the commission and especially from the immediate lower toll cost to motorists. If the court sees no need for a receiver, it should at least order tolls to stay where they were before the deal, he added. ZONING ORDINANCE READIED BY BOARD RARITAN TOWNSriP.

Pshaw! $92,000 IS PAID IN POLICE BRIBE 14 Argentine Officials Are Seized in Fraud Case in Aluminum Deal BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 14 fP A federal judge's report lists the chief of President Juan D. Peron's police bodyguard as receiving a $92,000 bribe for backing an Italian-Argentine aluminum factory deal which fell through. The chief is Herminio Anlonio Fassio, a federal police inspector, who was awarded the No.

1 Pe- ronista medal of loyalty a few months ago. The is the largest amount reported paid to any of the 14 persons under ar rest in the case. Federal Judge Oscar Palma Beltran continued today his probe of the deal, the first major scandal in Peron's 2 years in office. Peron himself ordered the investigation after Argentine dip lomats in Italy said the matter appeared at least unusual. All persons held are charged with fraud against the public administration.

The 13,000 word preliminary report of Judge Palma Beltran, made public yesterday, said: Three Italians offered to move an aluminum factory called Silpa from Milan, Italy, to Buenos Aires if the Argentine government would finance the move. One of 'the Italians, technician Carlos Antonio Banfi, is under arrest. Two others, Julio Oppl and Franco Gronda, escaped and returned to Italy. Fassio and other Argentines under arrest pressed the matter through official channels and the Banco de Credito Industrial (Argentine Industrial Credit Bank) gave credit for $9,300,000. Ho-racio Colombo Ramallo, vice president of the bank, is among those held.

The equivalent of $2,200,000 was borrowed and transferred to Italy. The Italians had S640.000 for use as bribes and some of it was paid to government officials arrested. The judge's report said the Silpa plant did not exist. (Milan sources said there was such a factory. Secretary-General S.

Camussi of the Argentine consulate in Milan commented, however, that "the real value of the factory is lower than the price paid Dy the Argentine government." The factory was a former property of the Canadian aluminum cartel, dismantled by the Germans and later purchased by a corporation which sold it to Gronda).
