13 THE DAILY HOME NEWS BRUNSWICK, N. MONDAY, MAY 1, 19ST 1 ive Labels Ratables 'Giveaway' in New Five City Commission candidates charged today that Mayor Chester Paulus and his entire administration "are hoodwinking New Brunswick residents with talk of new industrial ratables while they are practically giving away choice land to outsiders." Candidate Carl T. Valenti ridiculed Paulus' talk at a recent candidates' night about new ratables on a 26-acre tract, "when the fact of the matter is, the city sold the land at such a shockingly low price as to con stitute a giveaway." Valenti, a New Five candidate along with John A. Smith, William J. Cahill, Aldrag'e Cooper and Mrs.

Patricia Sheehan, referred to the 26-acre tract on Jersey Avenue near the Delco-Remy plant. "How can the Paulus Administration justify a sale of land for $2,600 an acre, or a total of $66,000, when tracts in the same area have been sold for upwards of $10,000 an acre?" Valenti, asked. "This means the city should have received $260,000 for the land, not $66,000," Valenti had charged. "The sale cost New Brunswick taxpayers a small fortune. "The 26-acre tract was sold by the city of New Brunswick for $2,600 an acre when adjacent land is worth four times as much at a public auction.

The deed is dated June 9, 1966," Valenti said, "and the buyer's name is Katie Rabinowitz of The Bronx, N.Y. "Here again," Valenti said, a gift to a person who doesn't even live in our city choice land at bargain prices when the city treasury should have received more than $200,000 instead of $66,000. "Who benefitted from this sale?" Valenti asked. "It certainly was not the New Brunswick home owner." The candidate said, "If the Paulus Administration were interested in helping the city and its taxpayers instead of outside developers and speculators, a minimum price would have been set for the land at the auc tion. "Paulus' talk of new ratables is rank nonsense in the light of the loss the city took on the sale of the land," Valenti said.

He is covering up his administration's failurs in attracting new ratables by pre-election propaganda on the plaza development which he promised two elections eight years -r- ago and which he now claims is imminent. "Yet we still have the wasteland in the center of the city and City Hall waves around a so-called 'lease' with an excapa clause that lets the supposed developers out well after the election. if they cannot find financing," Valenti said. He added, "A little over a week remains before the May 9 election suppose we're going to hear a new blast of hot air from City Hall about development of the plaza just before the election. I don't believe the residents of our city are going to buy the same old Paulus Administration song this time." ootcdjLo New i "i hi i i hi Aldene Plan Faces First Travel Test ASK VENUE MOVE IN MURDER CASE PHOENIX, Ariz.

(AP) Superior Court Judge George M. Sterling was to hear motions today on a change of vesnue and continuance for a Tempe, youth accused of murdering an Arizona State coed from Fair Lawn, N.J. Defense attorneys for David Mumbaugh, 19, a former state Highway Department employe, contend widespread pretrial news coverage precludes an impartial trial for their client in Phoenix. Mumbaugh, who reported finding the victim's body, is charged with the fatal stabbing of Laura Bernstein, 21, outside a downtown Tempe hotel last Sept. 21.

Miss Bernstein, a transfer student from Bradley University, Peoria, 111., was visiting a friend when she was slain. Mumbaugh's trial was to have started today, but defense attorneys contend it could continue into late May, when ASU students who could be called as witnesses will be taking final exams. The motion for a continuance suggests a trial dale of Sept. 18.

(AP Wirephoto) NEWARK (AP)-The Aldene Plan faces its first real test today as about 30,000 North Jersey railroad commuters start a new way of life. The plan designed to improve service and to reduce operating deficits on the bankrupt Jersey Central Railroad actually went into effect yesterday. But today, when some 6,500 additional riders are funneled through Pennsylvania Station in the first-day-of-the-week commuter rush under the new changeover, will present the first practical test of the system's feasibility. The 6.500 additional riders are those who used to take the Jer-' sey Central's main and shore lines into the Jersey City ferry terminal.

From there, they used to continue by ferry to the Liberty Street terminal in New York. Under the Aldene Plan, commuters are funnelled through Pennsylvania Station in Newark where they transfer to Pennsylvania Railroad or Port Authority Trans-Hudson trains (PATH). Cost Millions Named after a railroad junction in Roselle Park, the Aldene Plan was eight years in the making and cost $25 million to implement. Much of that time and some of the cost was spent in overcoming the objections raised by commuters on the Central's shore line from points such as Asbury Park, Red Bank and Matawan, or from the main line running through Somerville, Plainfield and Westfield. Under the new plan, mainline Central trains travel over Lehigh Valley tracks into Newark while shore line trains use Pennsylvania tracks.

1 YV Crown Prince, CARL GUSTAV of Sweden, on his birthday yesterday, told Dublin newsmen he has no special girl yet. The pince celebrated with a party aboard the Swedish navy's training ship Alvsnabben, in Ireland- on a courtesy visit after a six-month world cruise. Asked if he might marry Britain's Princess ANN, daughter of Queen ELIZABETH II, the prince shrugged, grinnedv and said: "There is no special girl back home. I'd be glad if there was." The prince has signed on for 2Vi years as a naval cadet.

(AP Wirephoto) Shore Commuters Gripe About Standing or i PRINCE CARL GUSTAV one seemed to be taking the 7:46. Pay to Stand And as the train pulled out of Matawan a crowd of men and a few women wandered through cars looking for seats. There were none available. "Just think," said Robert Wallace, one of the standing-room-only passengers, "we've got to pay $4 more for a commutation ticket and we have to stand up to boot. This never happened before." George Lyon, a sales representative for a New York import firm, theorized: "Every body's trying this out as an experiment.

They don't know whether to take this train or a later one. I hope things settle down to normal pretty soon." Both men agreed that the loss of the Jersey Central's ferry service between Jersey City and lower Manhattan had destroyed one of the pleasant features of commuting. "I'm going to miss my morning coffee on the ferryboat," said Lyon. "Now I'll have to wait until I get to New York." But some commuters welcomed the new Aldene Plan system with open arms. "This is going to get me to work 18 minutes earlier and home 18 minutes earlier.

"You can say what you want to about ferries but in my business time is money," said one commuter, too busy to give his name. On the other hand, Joyce Cos-tello, a secretary from Matawan who works in New York, complained that the new schedule would get her to work too early. "I'm 20 minutes ahead of schedule. I just don't know what to do with myself," she said, letting a PATH train go by. .1 SOLON DEFENDS WAR PROTEST ST.

LOUIS, Mo. AP) Rep. William F. Ryan, says that protests against the war in Vietnam are "a fundamental right the right to dissent." He spoke Saturday at the conclusion of the St. Louis Marchers for Peace a parade which began at the Jefferson Memorial and ended at Washington University.

An estimated 1,500 people participated in the march. Marchers supporting the war walked in a Loyalty Day parade in the southside business district. The march was sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Ryan called for an end of bombing of North Vietnam and urged that cease-fire negotiations be held under the supervision of the United Nations. Speaking of dissent about the war Ryan "Little do they understand that there can be no greater harm done to this nation by any of its enemies than the abridgement of free speech." Both parades were staged in a heavy rain.

BARRY GOLDWATER, no longer a reservist, says he will continue to call attention to the "downgrading" of military men by Defense Secretary ROBERT S. MC NAMARA. Goldwater officially retired last week as a major general in the Air Force Reserve. Speaking yesterday in Phoeniz, before 700 Air National Guardsmen and some 300 spectators at a review in his honor, Gold-water vowed he would devote a good portion of his efforts to seeing that the civilians now in the Pentagon are removed. He said military men should be treated as equals in the Pentagon.

GOLDWATER NEWARK (AP) It was a stand up sort of a day for many New York bound railroad commuters arriving here from the Jersey Shore. Many stood and griped when their Jersey Central train unexpectedly filled beyond capacity at Matawan. There was more griping when they piled out at Pennsylvania station at 7:46 a.m. to transfer to the Port Authority Trans-Hudson rapid transit train for New York. Just as the railroad had promised, the PATH train was waiting for them, but it was already jammed with people.

Some commuters tried squeezing in. "What's one more sardine," shouted one worker as he edged his way through the crush. Hurry and Wait Others resigned themselves to waiting for the next PATH train that showed up minutes later. This was the scene on the first real test of the Aldene Plan, which began delivering Jersey Central commuters to Newark's Pennsylvania station instead of Jersey City's ferry terminal. The 7:46 local to Newark began its morning run at Bay Head Junction as the sun rose over the shore.

It made its usual stops at the small resort towns of Point Pleasant Beach, Manasquan, Belmar and Bradley Beach, picking up early morning risers as it followed its customary route. For the most part it was just like any other day. Drowsy commuters lost themselves in morning paper, or dozed peacefully as the morning sun illuminated the shabby railroad car. Some studied the new train schedules, which were distributed to commuters this morning, evidently trying to figure out when and where to make the best connections. "This new schedule is just fine with me," said one rider.

"They've got more trains to Newark on here now. That gives me an extra half hour sleep in the morning." As the train reached northern shore points it began to fill with most of the New York bound commuters. Every- ARBpR DAY Arbor Day exercises were held Friday at McKinley School.

Fire-Caused Blasts Level Paint Plant CAMDEN (AP) A series of rapid-fire explosions punctuated a Sunday morning blaze which destroyed a warehouse of the "Jaefle Paint and Varnish Co. here. Fre Chief Edward V. Michalak said the fire apparently began in a dumping area near the warehouse and spread to scores of 50-gallon drums containing flammable liquids causing the explosions.

The three-alarm blaze was brought under control by noon, Michalak reported. Prince CHARLES played well on the polo field yesterday, but caused some royal family concern when he fell from his pony. 1 The 18-year-old heir to the throne was unhurt in the tunfble after he overstretched to stop a goal. Among the anxious spectators were Queen ELIZABETH II, Queen Mother ELIZABETH, and Princess MARGARET. Charles' and his father, Prince PHILIP, both scored for the Windsor Park team which defeated Lowood 6-3 to win the Combermere Cup.

Or they have the option of taking Pennsylvania Railroad trains into Pennsylvania Station in New York. Jam Feared But many commuters don't like the idea of rubbing shoulders with more commuters under the new system. And many don't think that PATH services can bear up under the increased commuter payload. PATH, which has been upgrading its rolling stock and other facilities in preparation for today, says it is certain it can. To ease commuter fears, the state Transportation Depart-' ment has agreed that facilities required under the old system-such as the ferry terminals will be kept intact during the first few days of operation of the new operation.

The plan got a preliminary workout yesterday when Jersey Central trains made test runs along the new route. But Port Authority spokesmen said traffic was normally light and that the real tale would be told to-clay. Reduced Fares Port Authority tubes ran a normal Sunday intervals of 15 minutes, though one benefit of the Aldene Plan took immediate effect: that of a reduced afre for trips from Newark to New York. Passengers used to pay 40 cents for the ride from Newark to New York and 35 cents from Newark to Journal Square i Jersey City, using a ticket collected on the train. Under Aldene Plan they will use PATH tokens priced at 30 cents for the trips.

Schedule changes under the plan are aimed at eliminating duplication of service. While there are fewer trains, service is to he maintained as in the past, in conjunction with the elimination of ferry service across the Hudson River. The plan is being financed by a $6.1 million state grant and a $3 6 million federal grant provided under the Mass Transportation Act of 1964. In addition, the Port Authority is spending $15.4 million to improve PATH service. Among those improvements are 44 new PATH cars awaiting commuters between Newark and New York.

The budget, $6.1 million lighter than Hughes' requested, incorporates a suggestion by Rutgers University President Mason W. Gross that $1.75 million be transferred from the university's construction funds to meet higher salaries for professors. The New Jersey Education Association and the State Colleges Faculty Association both have opposed the provision on the grounds that it would obliterate an 11-year tradition of salary parity between the state colleges and Rutgers. A bill introduced in the legislature today on behalf of the state college group would allow $900,000 to be transferred from their, capital construction funds to salaries. When Gross appeared before the legislative appropriations committee last month, he said Rutgers could spare $1 million of $4 million allocated to construction of a proposed medical school.

Another $750,000 could be taken from other construction funds for salaries, he said. Gross contended higher salaries are needed to compete with other universities in attracting top-flight professors.

Richard J. Hughes' controversial private and parochial school busing bill its legislative journey in the senate. Democratic leaders predicted passage. Rutgers Salary Issue The legislature also faced what may be the start of a stormy issue over whether salaries of Rutgers University professors should be higher than salaries at the six state colleges. Democratic Senate Majority Leader John A.

Waddington said efforts to amend the busing bill to delay its starting date had failed. He said he thought there might not be enough buses available for the bill's September 1968 effective date. Under the bus bill, private and parochial school pupils would be allowed free bus transportation to the schools of their choice up to 20 miles from their homes. The state would pay three-fourths the expense of the bill, with local school districts picking up the rest of the tab.
