Mailing REGISTER TUESDAY, JULY 31, 1962 7c PER COPY PAGE ONE Plan Senate Debate Cut On Sa Satellite Measure WASHINGTON (AP) leaders plan to point an uncertain weapon- -limitation of debate--at a small squad of filibusterers trying to talk to death the administration's communications satellite bill. Sen. George A. Smathers, D- assistant Democratic floor leader, said a cloture petition--to cut off debate--would be filed today.

This would force a on the motion to bring the bill formally before the Senate. However, it's been 35 years since the Senate last agreed to limit debate and thus force a vote on a measure. Sen. Albert Gore, one of the Democratic liberals trying to kill satellite bill which would create a private corporation to own and operate the space network, told reporters he was confident the cloture move be beaten. It requires the votes of twothirds of the senators present.

The filibuster group brushed aside a warning Monday that they may be endangering the November election chances of their Democratic colleagues and pressed on with their speeches. Gore held the floor five hours up to recess time Monday night after a session running 11 hours and 42 minutes. Sen. Maurine B. Neuberger, D- spoke for hours, slipping out of her high-heeled shoes and standing in her stocking feet in the final minutes.

She charged that under the bill billions of tax dollars spent in research and development would be turned over to a "private monopoly" dominated by American 1 Telephone Telegraph Co. The filibustering group wants the satellite corporation to be government The bill would establish a corporation owned half and half by the public through stock purchases. Committee Approval The measure, proposed by Pres; ident Kennedy, has been passed by the House approved by the Senate Space and Commerce committees. Sen. Wayne Morse, who advocates government ownership of the space network, has proposed that the Senate postpone action until after the November elections.

But there were indications of Core Site Proposal Backed in Atlantic ATLANTIC TOWNSHIP The Township Committee last night won a. vote of confidence to back up a master plan program that has a core site complex of government buildings as its big feature. Opponents--and there were sevthem--also were applauded for the stand they took. But the reception to their remarks was dim compared with that given in support to remarks favoring the committee and its planning. As a result, it appeared certain that the Township Committee, at an meeting set for Monday, adjourned, introduce ordinances aimed at the sale of $270,000 worth of bonds in this presently unencumbered municipality to get the projects started.

Auditorium Filled About 250 persons filled the auditorium of Atlantic School at a meeting called by the and Taxpayers Association. Every seat was taken and there were a number of standees. Main interest was focused upon core site--a municipal work and service area-located on 31 acres of ground off Cedar north of Rt. 537 (the Freehold road.) There, it is proposed to build a new barracks building for use by 16 troopers of the New Jersey State Police, a post office and a township hall. But, as explained by Mayor Joseph Moreau and Commissioner George Dittmar, money from the proposed $270,000 bond issuey "which will cause no raise in the level of municipal -a also will be used to purchase land sites for two eventual schools and for two future fire.

houses. After the long discussion and question-and-answer period ended, Mrs. Arthur Rodriguez, 5 Point told Mayor Moreau that she would bring legal action against the committee if the township went ahead with plans to build the state police barracks and the post office. Committeemen showed themselves to be in no mood to con- PARKWAY PROJECT Several pieces of earth-moving equipment have appeared on the site of the proposed Garden State Rarkway interchange at Red Hill Rd. The superhighway is in the foreground.

The equipment belongs 1 to the Herczku, Excavating Nixon. L. Zimmerman, Hillside, has been informally awarded a contract to build the new interchange. Parkway officials said yesterday work was to have started on the project late last week. The New Jersey Highway Authority, which operates the Parkway, has not yet formally ratified the contract for the project.

Issue Still Alive Further Interchange Discussion Set FREEHOLD Even though earth-moving equipment appeared on the scene and started shoving dirt, the Monmouth County Board of Freeholders continued yesterday to mark time on whether to try to head off construction of a new Garden State Parkway interchange at Red Hill. As promised last week, the board discussed the imminent award of a contract, in the 000 project on the MiddletownHolmdel township line, during a conference here yesterday. But the talk ended with the subject still up in the air. More talk is slated tonight. A New Look The board had told the Red Bank Register it would take a new look at the controversial Parking Lot Said Only Experimental: LINCROFT A New Jersey Highway Authority spokesman yesterday reminded Garden State Parkway users, that the 33-car parking lot the Red Bank interchange here is an "experi-lity mental" project.

A number of parkway users have declared the fees for use of the new facility, due to open tomorrow, will be excessive and unfair. The lot was built by the authorIty to serve commuters who travel to and from their places of work in "car pools." A fee of $5 per month for each parking space will be charged. The spokesman said yesterday the lot was considered a "pilot" project. Public reaction, to the service, which is considered unique among major U.S. toll roads, will determine if the authority should build similar lots at other parkway interchanges, he said.

Homeowners Annoyed In addition, he pointed out that the parking lot construction was undertaken in an attempt to parking problem on Cemetery Rd. (Woodland The commuters have left their automobiles on the side of the road when they transferred to the "pool" vehicle to go to work, causing considerable annoyance to area homeowners, he said. The Middletown Township Committee is expected within a month to accept from the authorresponsibility for the maintenance and policing of Cemetery Rd. and the restriction of parking there. Subsequent to the construction of several houses in the area, Cemetery Rd.

came to be know as Woodland Dr. Authority officials decided that although the acquisition of the road by the township was to be delayed, the lot should be opened as soon as construction work was finished. The true test of the value of the service to the public will not be evident until the township fulfills its part of the joint agreement, the spokesman said. Survey Made An authority survey among the parkers showed "overwhelming" favor for paid parkling facilities and a willingness in most cases to pay an average of $6 a month for the service, he said. Tickets permitting use of the $7,000 lot will be sold on a firstcome basis.

The tickets will be colored differently each month to provide easy recognition of the (See PARKING, Page 3) New Appeal Slated To Save Ernst's Life RED BANK (AP) The attorney for convicted slayer Joseph Ernst said last night he has new evidence on which will base a last minute appeal to save Ernst from the electric chair. Ernst is scheduled to die this week for the 1959 pistol-slaying of Joan Connor, a 17-year old Camden baby sitter and friend of his. Chester Apy, Ernst's attorney, told a newsman he will ask the Camden Superior Court today to grant a stay of execution and a new trial on the basis of what he called new evidence.

Apy said he would base his appeal on Ernst's information and on his own investigation carried out through the day. He declined to discuss the evidence further.

Mull Holmdel Sewer Code HOLMDEL The Board of Health has under consideration the preparation of an ordinance which could give this township its first sewer facilities, The Register learned last night.

The code, if it should become a reality, would require builders of large housing developments to construct "package" sewer plants as part of their housing projects. The issue of sewer plants versus septic tanks is one of long standing, here. of local officials have already gone on record in favor of requiring sewer plants, but to date no concrete action has been taken. Freehold Code The first town in the county to move for an ordinance is Freehold Township, which last week instructed its attorney to prepare a code to be introduced Aug. 8.

This ordinance will stipulate that developments with more than 49 houses must have sewer plants. Otis R.

The board approved the subdivision, with package plant, but Borough Council the final (save on the matter. The recommendation for approval carries the proviso that Mayor and Council may stipulate the installation of septic tanks without objection from the Planning Board if they think it is in the best interest of the area. Debated Since Spring The sewer question dates back to early spring.

After exhaustive investigation, the Planning Board in May approved a plant to service the new houses. Meanwhile, Mr. Silverstein, because of the delay, had begun installation of septic tanks in nine houses he was building. In June, Mr. Silverstein, "with a red face," reopened the matter saying he had discovered new evidence from the Federal Housing Administration which reported a potential odor problem at some bio-filtration plant sites.

Decision Thursday The board last night determined to stand by its original decision. Comments from area residents favored the package plant. Mr. H.D.

French Captivity Local officials said Boudiaf and his escort put up no resistance. Boudiaf and Ben Bella became bitter political and personal foes during five years they spent together in French captivity during the French-Algerian war.

When Ben Bella's drive to take over the government picked up steam last week, Boudiaf and Vice Premier Belkacem Krim set up headquarters in Tizi Ouzou and called for all-out resistance to Ben' Bella's bid for power. It was not known whether Boudiaf was arrested on Ben Bella's orders or on the initiative of the local guerrilla commanders. Ben Khedda, virtually isolated in the former summer palace of French governors: general in Algiers, issued an appeal for reconciliation to save the nation from anarchy and economic collapse. He said the dispute among the leaders had caused a new panicky exodus of Europeans and led Algeria to the brink of ruin.

Fred Sturdivant of Newark was executed on July 3 after losing an appeal to Hughes. On Parole Prior to Sturdivant's execution, there had not been any for almost six years, the longest period since the state adopted the electric chair in 1907. At the time Miss Connor was slain, Ernst, then 22, was parole from Bordentown Reformatory.

The prosectuion charged he shot her in revenge because she filed a police complaint against him after he beat her with a pop bottle. The complaint endangered his parole status. However, Ernst said he had gone to the Camden home where she was baby sitting just to talk with her. He said when she slammed the door in his face he fired through the door in sudden anger. He fled after firing two shots and was arrested a few days later Newark.

Township Committeeman Er. nest E. Peseux said last night the Board of Health has taken up the recommendation, for study: Mr. Peseux, one of the officials who has been urging action to get sewer plants, said he did not feel the township's one-acre.

zoning should be a deterrent in forcing builders to construct plants, Bernard Goldsmith, Planning Board chairman, agrees. He said yesterday: "There is no reason the builders should tell us what they can and can't do. We should tell the builders what they have to do.
