Glen Rock The Board of TEducation last night rejected bids from seven firms seeking to supply more than 3 million gallons of fuel oil to nine Bergen County school districts. One district's no vetoed the plan. for all. at the muscles of these animals, he has seen how the muscular withering begins before there are outward signs in the animals themselves.

CHANGE SHAPE, SIZE The cells and their nuclei or hearts change shape and size. The hearts of the cells seem to develop a clear halo around A IV I' iX Ml Li! --Mi L1 1 Muscular dystrophy is a class of ailments generally hereditary marked by a progressive wasting of muscles. There is no known cure. But researchers have come up with research animals that develop similar ailments and may lend some insight Into the disease in man. SEPARATE REPORTS Dr.

R. H. Rigdon of the University of Texas medical branch and Dr. Freddy Homburger of the Bioresearch Institute in separate reports to the Federation of Societies for Experimental Biology told what they have found. One family line of the Syrian hamster, for instance, develops a human-like disorder of the muscles and it can be predicted, explained Homburger, of Cambridge, Mass.

By Inbreeding his family line of hamsters, Homburger has produced the disease in almost a thousand animals. By taking miscroscopic looks Nolan Criticizes VeYvaet's Stand Bergen County Conservative Club chairman Michael J. Nolan last night attacked Freeholder Arthur W. Vervaet as more concerned with furthering what Nolan called the Republican dynasty in the County than the future of its people. Nolan based his attack on Ver-vaet's refusal to debate the question of the Metropolitan Regional Council with Mrs.

Joan Tierney of Ridgewood at last night's Conservative Club meeting in Pa-ramus. Vervaet sent a declination saying he would be tied up with the primaries. Mrs. Tierney spoke alone about plans to make the tri-State Transportation Committee a permanent government agency. Thomas J.

Moriarty, County Clerk candidate on the Conservative ticket, said the people have a right to know what Vervaet, official delegate of the Bergen Freeholders to M. R. reports back to the other eight Freeholders. "Vervaet should tell us what M. R.

C. expects to do for Bergen County," he added. NEW CABLE: The Bed Telephone craft Cable Queen laid a I nects two communication centers on either side of the river, telephone line under the Hackensack River yesterday. It con-1 viding for the future. (The Record photograph.) them.

And these cell hearts move from the outside of muscle fibers toward the center where they tend to line up like a string of beads. Later these nuclei begin to leak a substance called ribonucleic acid into the muscle fibers, which eventually shrink. Because the ailment can be produced genetically in the hamster, it can be used to chart the early beginnings of such diseases, and perhaps lead to a better un derstanding of the human disease, Homburger said. The animals also will be useful for trying out new treatments for humans, he added. Rigdon watched the early changes in muscles from a muscular dystrophied family line of white Pekin ducks and observed that granules of widely varying sizes occur within the muscles.

These granules contain both carbohydrates and fats and somehow become the focus of muscle deterioration. TUs may mean, Rigdon said, that the degeneration of the muscle may be due to a dis turbance in the chemical life processes of the muscle cells the use of chemical nutrients in the building up and breaking down of tissue. The dystrophy of the duck seems to be genetically de termined too, Rigdon said, and the bird may be a good test subject for studies of the chemical processes that lead to muscular dystrophy in man.

Dogs Raided Farm, Poultryman Asserts Suing Owner Of Two Pets In Loss Of 1,670 All But 50 Chickens Testimony was to resume today in the trial of a suit for damages for the alleged killing of 1,670 chickens by two eskimo dogs. The case, which started yester day before a Jury and County Court Judge Joseph W. Marini at Hackensack, as brought by Mr, and Mrs. Herman Wolf, owner of a poultry farm at 209 Spring Valley Road, Park Ridge, against Allen Trummel of 30 Akers Avenue, Montvale. The poultry farm owners charge two eskimo dogs owned by Trummel Invaded their farm The action killed this latest at- tempt at co-operative purchasing, since Glen Rock's school district was acting on behalf of all nine districts.

It was announced by Boara member Ralph B. Heran that the rejection was based on one School District's failure to gain a saving. The other eight Dis tricts would have benefited. Board Secretary Alfred W. Frecland.

heralded as the prime force behind the co-operative at tempt, explained that the group had agreed before the bids were accepted that if any one oi me districts was not satisfied the bids would be rejected. Heran, who is employed as an engineer with an oil refining company, said it was a shame to lose out on the bids because acceptance by all the districts would have meant an 8 to 10 per cent saving for Glen Rock over last year's expenditure for fuel oil. "The failure of the co-opera tive purchase is a disappoint ment, said Board president Robert Wald. "but it is by no means tha end of it." TO TRY AGAIN Wald added: "The savings are apparent and the philosophy is sound. We won give up easily because of this setback.

The actual bids showed a saving to all but one district, which happens to be clost to the oil The Board declined to say which district had been dissatis fied with the bids. The Com-munitieg involved In the at- Easier Traffic Bridge Record Fort Lee A traffic record was established at the George Washington Bridge Easter, Ernest Black, bridge manager, announced today. According to Black, 157,470 vehicles used the double-deck span from midnight Saturday to mid night Sunday. There were no major delays, and tramc moved freely throughout the day, he added. The previous high was on Fa ther's Day, 1959 when 144,750 vehicles crossed the bridge.

Sunday's high topped this figure by 12.720. Black said mild weather brought motorists out by the thousands and that the moderate temperature prevented delays since autos did not overheat and stall on the roadways. Sunday also was the end of the first week that women toll coiiec tors have been manning booths on the span's upper level and their first holiday weekend on the bridge. $34 BULLION LEFT BY SUNOCO CHIEF Will Of Major Republican Party Backer Filed; Mostly Stock Norristown, Pa.

Both the State Highway Depart' ment and Charles H. Reis, Englewood builder, are appealing from a condemnation commission award at a hearing before Su perior Court Judge Donald Waesche at Hackensack.

The 18 acres acquired by the Highway Department were taken from 104 acres along Broad Ave nue in Englewood and Leon la owned by Reis and leased to the golf club. S. Monte Smith, Hackensack real estate broker and appraiser testified yesterday that in his opinion the Reis acreage was the finest site available in Ber gen County and the Metropolitan area for residential development. He valued the 18 acres at $563,000. John J.

Breslin Jr. of Hack ensack, counsel for Reis, yes terday introduced a number of maps and aerial views to sustain the Reis claim that the 6-lane Expressway cut the Reis property practically in half and damaged the golf course to the extent that four holes had to be rearranged and golfers now are forced to walk along Broad Avenue in Englewood to go from the sixth hole to the seventh hole tee. Deputy Attorney-General William J. McCormack is appearing for the Highway Department. Gerald E.

Monaghan, Hackensack attorney, is assisting Breslin.

PROTECTION THROUGH PLANNED INSURANCE SERVICE I mi Mi it 210 MAIN STREET HACKENSACK, N. J. DIAMOND 2-214S SUSPECT-TUNA SEARCHENDING 700 Containers Seized In Rockland County New City County Health officials say they will conclude their search by today or tomorrow for canned tuna suspected as contaminated. More than 700 suspect tins have already been seized by the County Health Department and by Thomas Mahoney of New City, an inspector for the State De-partment of Agricultural Markets. Eight to 10 persons in Rockland are known to have eaten the tuna with no ill effects, said Health Commissioner Dr.

Donald G. Dickson. He emphasized the tuna was being removed from retail shelves purely as a precautionary measure. "We do not anticipate any cases of botulism," he said. SERUM AVAILABLE Dr.

Dickson said he has been personally assured that Rockland can obtain antitoxin from New York City should any cases develop. The Health Department and the State Department of Agricultural Markets has received full co-operation from more than 150 commercial establishments in Rockland, including grocery stores, delicatessens, supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, and wholesale distributors, Dr. Dick son laid. The cans were found in a number of establishments. He said there is no way of determining exactly how much tuna was shipped into Rockland by the Brooklyn distributor.

"But I think we have pretty nearly all of them," he said. PASSOVER SEASON Dr. Dickson said health of ficials were hindered by the Passover season, since a number of Jewish establishments were closed. The search began early last Friday night, Dr. Dickson said, when he heard news reports of suspected tuna in the New York City area.

Mahoney, Dr. Dickson, and six members of the latter staff be gan a search that continued prac tically around the clock during the weekend. The seized cans will be anal yzed by the State Health Department or Agricultural Markets Department. The County has no facilities for such analysis. The State Health Department notified New York City and several other city health departments of possible danger Friday.

A local State Health official telephoned Dr. Dickson personally Friday night of a possible local danger, the Health Commissioner said. Throughout New York at least 15 other persons have eaten tuna from the suspected shipment with no ill effects noted, the Associated Press reports.
