Is Denounced UNITED NATIONS (AP) Ad-lai Stevenson's sharp condemnation of the new Russian attack on the UN Congo operation was seen today as a warning that the Kennedy administration von shrink from a cold war slugging match in the General Assembly. Any hopes that world tensions might be eased by avoiding debate on cold war issues in the Assembly faded yesterday when Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko renewed the Russian attack on Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold and UN actions in the Congo.

We had hoped at least that the Russians would suspend the cold war for a while. Henry Ford Cooper of Liberia told a reporter, but Gromykos biting attack on Hammarskjold and the UN opened it all up again. Old Plaint Speaking at the beginning of a new Assembly debate on the Congo, Gromyko once again accused Hammarskjold of organizing the murder of Patrice Lumumba, demanded the secretary-generals replacement by a three-man directorate, and called for an end to the UN Congo opera-tion within a month.

(APWirephoto) LONG BRANCH A tax rate reduction of 51.02 per 5100 of assessed valuation was forecast here yesterday as the Board of Commissioners adopted the 1961 city budget. The predicted rate will be 51195, compared to 512.97 last year. Only Frank D. Holmes, 1195 Lincoln a real estate operator, spoke at a public hearing. He commended die commissioners for directing the Board of Education to revise its budget by increasing its appropriation from surplus by 5100,000.

Mr. Holmes suggested that the commissioners also deplete their own surplus by an additional 5100,000 to further reduce die tax rate, but his idea was not acted upon. Armour Hulsart, city auditor, said the tax rate is expected to be broken down in this fashion, 53.19 for municipal operations, compared to 54.41 in 1960; 56.90 for schools compared to 56.77; and 51.96 for county government, compared to 51.79. Expenditures for local purposes In the 1961 budget total 52,513,830 and for schools, 32, 601,168. The local purposes tax rgte is pared more than the school budget because outside revenues for the city are greater than those for the school See Kennedy Action Under Soviet Stand WASHINGTON (AP) President Kennedy is reported planning to give more effective military assistance to the pro-Western government of Laos unless Russia speedily agrees to a prompt diplomatic solution of the Laotian crisis.

While officials were closemouthed about the Presidents decision today, it was believed that initial steps for increased aid would embrace training of the hard pressed government forces by U.S. military men and probably an increase in firepower through providing more modern types of conventional weapons. Pro-Communist forces are advancing toward Vientiane, capital of Laos. Should the situation in the little Southeast Asian kingdom suddenly develop into an emergency threat to the very existence of the Laotian government, is understood that Kennedy would be prepared to consider quickly an appeal for emergency aid on a large scale. No Intervention At the present time, however, officials said privately that there is no serious thought of direct intervention by U.S.

forces. The question of some form cf intervention, perhaps by countries in the area, may arise when the foreign ministers of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization meet next Monday in Bangkok, Thailand. Secretary of State Dean Rusk will leave here tomorrow night to attend that session. Kennedy conferred for 30 minutes yesterday with Rusk Secretary- of Defense Robert S. McNamara 'and other top military and diplomatic policymakers.

No further meeting was scheduled for today but the President was reported keeping a dose personal watch on the Laotian crisis and Library Service Cutback Looms Nations as an effective operating instrument for peace and progress.

Of the 5,533 persons eligible to vote, 1,329 went to the polls. In the referendum, two questions were asked: Should be spent, and should the proposed 43-room building go up on 35 acres of the Turner Brothers Nursery tract in West Long Branch? But, an all-or-nothing vote was called for.

And that won handily. Decisive Balloting Only in West Long Branch was there any degree of closeness in the balloting. In Oceanport the proposals carried 262-68; in Monmouth Beach, 134-25, and in Sea Bright, 133-4. In West Long Branch, the victory narrowed to 423-290 still thoroughTydeci-sive. In the three districts of West Long Branch, the voting went: District 1, 132-117; District 2, 107-37, and District 3, 182-134.

We now are ready for ground test borings, said Mrs. Helen Tucker, secretary of the Shore Regional High School Board of Education, after the vo'es were counted and after she had talked with Peter Cooper, oresident, and other members of the board. Upsets Objections The majority by which the proposal carried reflected public opinion as stacked high against objections that had been raised against the site of construction by Gregory G. Lentzakis in his unsuccessful race for election as a West Long Branch member of the school board. Mr.

Lentzakis had threatened a taxpayer's suit on his part if the state Department of Education gave Us approval to the site. But the state department and the New Jersey Division of Local Government both did approve the site, between Franklin Lake and Glenwood Cemetery, including a 110-foot frontage on Parker and no action was taken. The property will cost 5125,000. Easter Egg Hunt Set In Middletown MIDDLETOWN The fourth annual Easter egg hunt sponsored by the Recreation Commission will be held April 1 at 10 a m. at Bodman Park.

The board had urged the Borough Council in a letter dated Feb. 17 to increase salary and operating appropriations beyond those scheduled for 1961.

The letter termed the 523,940 budgeted for salaries "quite inade-guate. The letter was read at Monday nighPs public hearing on the municipal budget. It was received without comment. Mayor George A. Gray yesterday said that appropiations for the library have increased ap portionately higher in the last four years than any other area in the borough.

Overexpended Budget He said the library had over expended its 1960 salary appropriation without authorization. This required transferring surplus from other accounts to meet the additional library costs, he said.

Mr. Neale said the surveys will be conducted independently. He said the 1960-61 damage to the ocean front was the worst since the tidal wave in 1953. Mr. Neal said his group realizes that erosion programs are not started overnight, but that there is a danger in waiting until the problem becomes too se vere.

The chairman said the sea wrfll here was badly undermined in Hurricane Donna and subsequent winter storms. He said that property damage in the borough amounted to thousands of dollars, and predicted that continued storm damage could ultimately affect the tax structure here. Mr. Neale said his organization will continue to exert pressure at all levels of state government for erosion control programs. JFK Airs New Aid Program WASHINGTON (AP) President Kennedy sends Congress a special message today outlining long-range foreign aid program.

In the message, which goes to Capitol Hill a day later than originally planned, Kennedy is expected to call for consolidation of several agencies dealing various types of foreign assistance. In an attempt to obtain bipartisan backing in advance, Bowles, undersecretary of state, held a breakfast conference yesterday with top Republicans of both houses to discuss program He failed to obtain advance commitments. Kennedy may submit another message to Congress before the week is out covering proposed budget revisions. Set Hearing On Garbage Complaints KEANSBURG Borough officials will meet on March 30 with representatives of the Disposal Associates Cliffwood Beach, to discuss complaints of violations of the firms garbage contract with the borough.

The Raritan kindergarten class is by far its largest at any grade level. There are now 543 kindergarten pupils, divided into 20 classes. out of school up to the age of 7, but must then keep them in school up to the age of 16. Won't Work If the Raritan board wants to request parents not to start their children at the age of 5, Mr.

Garrison said, they may do so but I hardly think that would work. He added: As far as the law is concerned, a school board must provide facilities for children starting at the age of 5, and there are only two types of programs for this age group: kindergarten or pre-primary. Mr. Garrison noted that children in the pre-primary systems attend classes for a longer per-(See RARITAN, Pg. 2) On double session which is standard practice fbr kindergarten throughout the state this means that the board could free 10 classrooms by eliminating kindergarten.
