New: Parkway Interchange At Red Hill Road Approved erhoff, Quade and Douglas, of ways to improve the parkway to meet the demands of the fast-growing Middletown-Holmdel area.

i For Bell Labs Melvin J. Kohn, assistant to the executive director of the authority, said the construction of the Bell Telephone laboratories in Holmdel was the determining factor in the decision to build the new interchange. Bell Telephone is expected eventually to employ an estimated 4,500 persons at its new plant. Bell Telephone employees using the southbound lanes of the parkway are expected to use Crawfords Corner Rd. to get to work after leaving the new interchange at Red Hill Rd.

Holmdel Township already has announced plans to widen that road to accommodate the expected increase in traffic. Middletown Township Mayor John H. Lawley said Red Hill Rd. in his municipality will have to have attention to take care of increased use. No County Help Asked if the county planned to give any financial aid to municipalities to meet increased road costs as a result of the new parkway interchange, Freeholder Director Joseph C.

Irwin said, It will have to be the job of the local authority to take care of the access roads. The Highway Authority said it expects total revenue at die (See PARKWAY, Page 3) SHREWSBURY A new interchange, to cost an estimated $478,000 will be constructed next year on the Garden State Paritway at Red Hill Middletown, the New Jersey Highway Authority announced yesterday, The new interchange will be located midway between the Red Bank and Keyport interchanges. Despite an expected increase in the use of access roads leading to the new interchange, officials of Middletown and Holmdel Townships gav general support to the authoritys plan. Mrs. Katharine Elkus White, authority chairman, said the project is expected to be completed in the fall of 1962.

She said bids will be sought late in the winter with construction slated to start in the early spring. To Increase Toll In connection with the opening of the new entrance-exit to be known as the Holmdel-Middletown interchange the authority also will raise die toll charge at the Red Bank exit from 10 to 15 cents. Toll charges at the new Interchange will be IQ cents at the southbound exit and northbound entrance. There will be no charge at the northbound exit and southbound entrance. Plans for the half-million dollar project were unveiled at a press conference in Shadowbrook, Yesterdays announcement was the result of a two-year study by the authoritys consulting engineers.

(AP Photo) Especially Tailored for Him New Position for Bowles CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) Sometime after dawn tomorrow a young chimpanzee, plucked from the forests of Africa, will enter a mighty rocket for a whirlwind ride through space three times around the world. If all goes well, a U.S. Astronaut will ride another Atlas rocket into space for another hour ring around the globe perhaps after Christmas, perhaps after New Years. Even now scientists have likely selected the young chimpanzee for the ride of his life so that they caa better test how man and space capsule can take the Latin American affairs, with special emphasis on the problems of new and developing nations.

The announcement late yesterday from the White House that Bowles had accepted the new duties came after Kennedy called him in for a talk. WASHINGTON (AP) Chester Bowles, replaced as the No. 2 man id the State Department, has accepted a diplomatic post especially tailored for him. He becomes President Kennedy's special representative and adviser on African, Asian and GENEVA (AP) Th United States, Britain and Russia today begin another round of talks on a nuclear test ban that appear doomed to failure from the start. One Western official called the resumption of negotiations a pure propaganda exercise.

High Western sources said East and West were farther away from a treaty lor a controlled ban on nuclear testing than at any time since they first began negotiating on Oct 31, 1958. The raixs were resumed In response to the demand of an overwhelming majority of the UN General Assembly. They had been broken off by abrupt resumption of nuclear testing last September, Treaty Draft On the eve of the new session, the Soviets published a new treaty draft which, in the view of Western officials, sounded the death knell to any hopes lor a treaty at this time. The Russians in effect ru'ed out any realistic prospect of an international control snd tion system to prevent secre. violations.

Without such a system, the West says, tny nuclei; test ban is unacceptable because there can be no assurance against cheating. The Sovtot draft also sought to prevent the United States from continuing underground nuclear tests, 'arncted after the start of the recent Soviet series pr of matching Soviet advances to nuclear weapons with its own tests in the atmosphere. The United States and Britain were considered certain to reject such an obvious trick Intended primarily as a propaganda gesture to fallout-fearful nations in Asia and Africa. Despite the lack of prospects for progress, both Soviet and Western representatives apparently were prepared to go on talking indefinitely here or to some other forum rather than be accused of refusing to negotiate.

The real problem at present Is that they dont trust us and we dont trust them. The Soviet draft also renewed rigors of the flight. They are expected to name the space chimp late today. Perhaps half an hour after the Atlas blazes into the sky, the chosen chimpanzee will pass over his native Africa for the first of three times. Space Tasks The chimp will be performing his space tasks, tripping levers on signal from a control panel, despite the brutal press of ac celeration and die confusing sense of weightlessness.

They will make a strange pair as they blast off fom this spaceport a 125-ton rocket and a 40-pound chimpanzee.

From five original chimps trained for the flight, three finalists were selected and one of these was Ham, the only one with flight experience.

(AP Wirephoto) Rockefeller Leaves i Ends Search 1 For His Son KEYPORT Local officials declared last night that the Key-port business district will be isolated" if present plans for the widening of Rt. 36 are carried out. Mayor and Council unanimously went on record against current plans by the state Highway Department for the proposed dualization of Rt 36, from Key-port to Atlantic Highlands. Council made it clear, however, that it does not oppose the Council Asks Opinion On Laundromat FAIR HAVEN-Borough Council last night referred to its attorney a Board of Adjustment recommendation for appoval of a board ruling that laundromats are permitted here. In a letter, the board said that under its intepretation of local regulations laundromats are permitted, and asked council to approve the action.

The boards decision was made last Monday in reference to the application of Jesse E. Bennett, who hopes to rent his property at 606 River Rd. to a laundromat operating firm. The ruling was made with the proviso that disposal tanks in the rear of the building be equipped with covers thick enough to support the weight of parked cars. Mayor and Council last night referred the matter to Borough Attorney William Blair, after Mr.

Bennetts attorney, William E. Beaty of Red Bank, said that council action was not nec-cessary because no variance had been granted by the board. No special exception was granted, Mr. Beaty declared. Previously, the Board of Health approved Mr.

Bennetts plan for the disposal system and tanks. No objection were made when the application was considered by the zoning unit. According to reports, the laundromat is to be operated by the Universal Machinery Distributors of New Jersey. Competitive Bids Long Branch School Pact Upheld plan to its entirety, but only that part of it which deals with this borough. Mayor Charles E.

Applegate said he has been advised by the highway department officials that the proposed 32-inch center barrier for Rt. 36 would block off Atlantic Main St. and Florence and leave Broad St. as the only way to get out of Keyport. Jug Handles He said he had further been advised that two jug handles are proposed for the Rt.

36 Keyport area, and commented: That will cut borough property up even more." It seems to me, the; mayor added, the state wants to fix up park at Sandy Hook for persons from North Jersey, at the expense of Keyport. Coucilman Henri J. Hansen said the blocking of main arteries in and out of Keyport would ruin the local business district, cutting off trade from Raritan Township and other adjacent areas. I am certain the Chamber of Commerce will oppose it," declared. Attend Hearing Council decided to send representatives to the public hearing scheduled by the state Highway Department for Dec.

The hearing will be conducted in Raritan Township Hall, Middle starting at 10:30 a.m. At present, Rt 36 is two lanes between Keyport and Union Beach, where it widens to three lanes, as far as Keansburg.

Raubinger has ruled that local school boards are not required to call for competitive bids when purchasing school equipment. Raubinger made the ruling in upholding a $10,062 contract awarded to magnetic recording industries of New York for the installation of language laboratories at Long Branch High School. Raubinger dismissed an appeal from High Fidelity Sound Center of Eatontown, asking that the contract be voided on the not award the contract on the basis of competitive bidding. High Fidelity submitted a bid of $10,215.

It charged that Magnetic Recording Industries was permitted to supply supplementary figures giving it a competitive advantage not made available to High Fidelity. Raubinger held that the board could use competitive bidding simply as a guide. He said the board was not bound to award a contract solely on the basis of bidding figures.

The search for young Rockefeller was the biggest ever made1 in New Guinea, enlisting between 6,000 and 7,000 persons on the ground, ships of the Dutch Navy at sea and Dutch.

Australian and private planes. The only clue found was a red gasoline can found from an outboard motor, fished from the sea 120 miles south of the New Guinea coast. Michael had used two such cans as an improvised life buoy when he started for the shore, and his Dutch companion, Dr. R. S.

Wassing, said he was 90 per cent certain the recovered can was Michaels. But Dutch officials said its finding was not proof that Michael had drowned, that he could have left it on the beach and the tide could have carried it back to sea. The governor and Michaels twin sister, Mrs. Mary Straw-bridge, flew from Merauke to Hollandia on the first leg of their journey. KLM, the Dutch airline, diverted its Tokyo-Manila-Amsterdam flight to Biak Island, off the coast of New Guinea, to pick up the Rockefeller party.

A miracle could happen and perhaps it will But we must be realistic the hope is very small," the governor added.

The governors 23-year-old son has been missing since his native catamaran raft capsized off the swampy jungled south coast area and he tried to swim to the shore three and a half miles away on Nov. 19. A Dutch companion stayed with the overturned raft and was rescued the next day. Although Rockefeller left for the United States, the hunt for his son will continue.

In a letter, Mr. MacConnell said that due to pressure of business, especially during the evening hours, he had found it necessary to give up the post.

Councilman James L. Davison asked that the resignation not be accepted until a special committee had conferred with Mr. Mac Connell. Mayor Milton Kosene suggested that Mr. Davison be chairman of the committee, and appoint two other councilmen to serve with him.

Ben- RED BANK The Kiwanis Club was praised last night for its historical interests and efforts which spurred state officials to give a high priority on the Green Acres project list to the preservation of Monmouth Battlefield, Freehold. Dr. C. Malcolm Gilman of Middletown, president of the Monmouth Battlefield Association, who addressed the Kiwanians at a dinner meeting last night, said the club's move last summer to spark public interest in the states Tercentennial in 1964 had resulted to Gov. Robert B.

Meyner taking a special interest to Monmouth Battlefield. Quotes Governor He quoted Gov. Meyner as saying, prior to the recent elections when the Green Acres bond issue was voted on to referendum, that if the program was passed "Monmouth Battlefield is high on the priority list. Dr. Gilman indicated that the change in administration in Trenton next year is not likely to alter that point of view.

June, 1778, Victory The field, which lies to Manalapan and Freehold Townships, is the scene of Washingtons victory to June, 1778. The battle Is considered by Dr. Gilman and other historians to have been a turning point to the Revolutionary War. Dr. Gilman said last night that more men were engaged to the Battle of Monmouth than fa any other until the time of Gettysburg during the Civil War.

He said the battle was fought from dawn to after twilight. The drama of the event, he said, was found in events leading up to the court martial of General Charles Lee, at one time second in command of the Revolutionary forces. Gen. Lee, who Dr. Gilman called a soldier of fortune, was throughout the War pessimistic about the possibility of a Colonial victory.

Gen. Lees Past What Washington termed a retreat of Lees men was in actuality an orderly withdrawal of troops to get a better position near artillery, be declared. He said that Lee had been faced with nearly five times as many troops as his own. The result of the incident was that Lee was retired from military service, he said. Because Lee had led a horrible life before the war, he has received everlasting blame for the battle," he stated.

Dr. Gilman said Washington had been under pressure from other Colonial generals who were certain the Americans would not be victorious. He pointed out, however, that perhaps Washington's Huguenot tenacity was the final analysis the reason for the ulti-ate American victory. ft by Richard Lewis, 277 First a flying instructor at toe Asbury Park Air Terminal, and the Bushwick Realty operators of the Aeromarine industrial complex, i 24-Acre Tract The airport would be located on a 20-acre tract (part of the Aeromarine property) held by Bushwick on a 70-year lease basis.

Representatives from the area reported that a similar petition is being circu lated in the adjacent section of Union Beach. The plan to construct an airport here came to light two weeks ago when The Register learned that grading for an runway had been started.
