Undersecretary Henry H. Fowler read Dillons speech at the closed-door session, after giving copies to newsmen. As if in direct reply to those who have charged since the steel battle that the Kennedy administration is antibusiness, Fowler told the 100 assembled corporation heads: Our depreciation revision as a whole will, indeed, be meaningful to American industry and to die entire American economy.

SHORTER PERIOD Can anyone any longer doubt this? The Treasury official gave no actual figures and made no estimate of the amount industry would save and the Treasury would lose by shortening the period in which companies can write off the cost of new machinery and HOT SPRINGS, Va. (AP)-The Kennedy administration made a major move today toward better relations with business by announcing that liberalization of tax depreciation write-offs will be ordered soon. Unofficial estimates set the 1962 tax savings at about $1.25 billion for big and little businessmen. The announcement was made at a singularly appropriate forum the Business Council, an organization of major industrialists headed by Chairman Roger M. Blough of U.S.

Steel President Kennedys chief antagonist in the April steel price tussle. Big steel rolled back its price increases under pressures from Kennedy, IN FINAL STAGES Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon sent word that the revision is now in its final stages." He said the write-offs will be ordered into effect late next month or in July at the latest. Dillon, detained in Washington by congression But, he said the bigger annual deductions it will permit will take effect in this 1962 tax year, will be usable as a matter of right by all taxpayers and will apply to machines and equipment already in use as well as to those bought subsequently. His words dispelled suspicions voiced in some1 quarters that there would be only a token liberalization or that the prospect of faster depreciation was being used merely as bait to induce businessmen to support the other key elements of the administrations tax program the bill providing a tax credit for investment made in modernization. Together, Dillon has declared, the twin tax measures will give U.S.

industry a better tax break than their long-envied foreign competitors. And, he has said, they should stimulate the kind of plant improvements that can bring American exporters closer to cost equality in world markets.

BASIC DIFFERENCE She urged that children be advised to prepare while still in school for their roles in the struggle between Communist and non-Communist countries. One of the things we have allowed our young people to think is that perhaps their elders may decide to bring this world to an end.

They think if there is nothing they can do about it, they might as well enjoy themselves. She pointed out that the basic difference between the conflicting political ideologies was the contrast in values placed on human beings.

The 50th anniversary dinner in the Shad-owbrook was a tribute also to Mrs.

Geraldine L. Thompson, founder of the Monmouth County Organization for Social Service and its president for 40 years. GUIDING YOUTH Although the topic of the evening was the five decade history of MCOSS, Mrs. Roosevelt characteristically spoke of guiding the nations youth to meet the future. She asked for the countrys young people "more opportunity, more thought, much more real care and more inspiration.

(AP Wirephoto) By The Associated Press The doctors at Orange Memorial Hospital who signed a declaration refusing to treat patients under the proposed King-Ander-son medical care bill will be permitted to resign if the bill becomes law and they persist in their attitude, the hospital has announced.

The hospital administrator, Benjamin Wright, said last night that he has spoken to several members of the staff who signed the declaration. I stated that it was my opinion that the signers were pre-judging the legislation and I said that after it became law we would have to conform no question about that, said Wright. It is perfectly obvious that if some individuals do not wish to participate in (the law) they could not fulfill their obligation as members of the medical profession, he said. Debate Continues Meanwhile, the quarrel over the declaration, signed by some 200 New Jersey physicians, continued today with doctors opposing doctors and a labor leader returning to the fray, At Beth Israel Hospital in New ark, where it was believed some doctors joined in the boycott threat, the medical staff as a whole adopted a resolution reading in part: It is resolved that the medical staff disassociates itself from the alleged action by individual anonymous members of this' staff and officially consider such action unethical and unbecoming this hospital," The resolution stated that all physicians will be expected to obey the provisions of the King- Favor New School Building Telegraph Hill Explain Kindergarten Plan Anderson bill if and when it becomes law. In Lakewood, Dr.

Sol Zinkin said yesterday 12 doctors had signed a resolution completely rejecting an earlier doctors declaration that pledged signers to refuse to treat patients under the King-Anderson bill. The bill links payment of medical care for the aged to social security. Nursing Home President In Newark, state AFL-CIO President Vincent J. Murphy claimed that Dr. J.

Bruce Hen-riksen was leading the doctors' boycott of the proposed federal legislation because Henriksen is president of a nursing home that would have to reduce fees if the bill should become law. Henriksen said later he was president of the Sunny Side Farms nursing home in Wall Township, Monmouth County, but he had never received a cent of profit from the home. Jn Summit, the medical staff executive committee of Overlook Hospital announced it would not support the doctors boycott of the King-Anderson bill, despite its opposition to the measure. And the Ocean County Medical Society, in a Wednesday night meeting of some 35 members, reportedly refused to endorse the boycott and instead tabled the Henriksen resolution. Dr.

Henriksen, chief of surgery at Point Pleasant Hospital, began circulating the declaration more than a month ago. Dr. Zinkin, president of the medical staff at Lakewoods Paul Kimball Hospital, said he did not approve of the Henriksen resolution and he and several (See DOCTORS, page 2) tracts, which might qualify for urban renewal.

The councilman said, We must abide by the opinions of the public. This year, the state legislature granted the Freehold Raceway 10 additional racing days, giving the track a total of 60 racing days.

Revenue from the extra days this year is to aid storm damage relief along the shore. On March 23, tfte Freehold Township Committee, and on April 2, Freehold Council, adopted resolutions calling for an 80-day racing meet for Freehold Raceway. Master Plan Seen As a Certainty interchange at Red Hill Middletown, was evaluated by the Monmouth County Board of Free-hoders, the Red Bank Community Chamber of Commerce and authority personnel themselves. The authority had announced it would close the Telegraph Hill area when the proposed inter-, change was opened. Bell Labs sought to have the area kept open while favoring a new interchange as well.

Six Contracts With regard to the road program, the committee approved the execution of six contracts to purchase rights of way, and Mr. Seaman reported that it will be ready to advertise for bids by the middle of June. Mr. Seaman also suggested that the committee contact several consulting engineers with regard to the proposed township-wide sewer study. Township Clerk Daniel S.

Ely took exception with published reports that the township has been slow in acting on the sewer problem. To prove his point, Mr. Ely read a sewer study that was prepared some two years ago at the request of the Planning Eoard. Mr. Seaman called the report out of date and suggested the new feasibility study and report.

A township-wide sewer system was attacked by Theodore Fned-auer, who questioned the necessity for all homes to have sew- (See HOLMDEL, Page 2) change would affect the boroughs road improvement program, but reported we are on the road to carrying out the program and will gain speed within the next six or eight The Highway Authority suddenly announced last Thursday the entrances and exits to the parkway at Telegraph Hill, would be shut as soon as possible to all traffic.

A desire of the commissioners to adhere to a policy of keeping toll rates in Monmouth County equitable motivated the decision, she said. No Toll Plaza There is no toll plaza at the Telegraph Hill area where the authority has sizable maintenance facilities.

The authority has repeatedly warned in the past that the Telegraph Hill area would sometime be closed to public traffic. The Bell Telephone Laboratories, with a huge building nearing completion in Holmdel consistently has requested the Telegraph Hill area be left open to traffic. Bell Labs Stand The Bell point of view arose on several occasions as the authoritys proposal to build a new Plan for HOLMDEL Various means, from petition to harassment, to keep the New Jersey Highway Authority from closing the Garden State Parkways Telegraph Hill interchange were proposed before the Township Committee last night. The authority has announced plans to close the entrance and exit but last night Mayor James Ackerson reported that the committee has had no official notice on the proposed closing. Mayor Ackerson said the committee has made every possible move to keep it open and added that as of now I dont know of any way to attack the problem.

Worth a Try Regarding the suggestion of a petition protesting the move, the mayor stated: Its worth a try. But township engineer Otis R. Seaman differed in opinion. He said knowing how th parkway operates, youre wasting your Norman Shantz made a suggestion to harass them as they are harassing us" by declrring the parkways service road a public nuisance. A member of the audience also suggested that parkway officials be invited to explain their proposed action at a public hearing but the committee failed to act on the suggestion.

Dusinberre board president, replied that the results of a professional educational survey will be received by the board shortly after June 1. The survey, being prepared by Dr. Francis Cornell, New York City education consultant, will aid the board in determining specific policies on growth problems, Mr. Dusinberre said. He expressed apprehension about taxpayers' reactions should the board decide to construct additional school facilities.

He pointed out that in the February school elections 60 per cent of the approximately 500 persons who voted were in favor of $500,000 annual school budget. Cement and mortar expenses could run well in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, he said.

Value Coupons Railroad Offers Riders Bargains Modern Literature FREEHOLD A panel discussion on the topic Does Horse Racing Help or Hurt the Freehold Area? sponsored by the Freehold Area Council of Churches was conducted last night at the Presbyterian Church here. On the panel were Freehold Councilman Leonard J. Conway, Freehold Township Mayor Albert V.

McCormick and Robert Schultz, executive director of the Greater Freehold Chamber of Commerce. Arnold Tanner, local attorney and vice president of the council, was the moderater. Rev. Samuel A. Jeanes, Camden, who was to have been a member of the panel, was unable to attend.

The discussion was held before an audience of 14, three of whom were local ministers. Advantage Claimed Mr. Schultz said the chamber felt it is an economic advantage to the community to have additional racing days at Freehold Raceway. Mayor McCormick said although he personally does not approve of gambling, a statewide referendum had been overwhelmingly approved to legalize horse race betting in the state. The mayor added that he felt it would be more realistic to control horse race betting rather than to fry to eliminate it.

Councilman Conway explained that council requested additional racing days in light of the re- Molhers Day Dinners Special at Bahrs Restaurant, Highlands, New Jersey. Adv.

Aav, KEYPORT It appears certain that this borough will embark on preparation of a master plan, According to Planning Board chairman Carlton H. Poling the board is expected to select a planning consultant to draw the plan, within a month. Mr. Poling said that during recent weeks, while the project has been under consideration, there was one board member who opposed master planning but that he seems to be coming around. Mayor Charles W.

Applegate and his administration is already on record in favor of master planning. Some Opposition However according to Howard Jeandron, board vice chairman, there is some opposition in town. Mr. Poling said he felt certain the planners will recommend the project to Borough Council. Once a consultant is hired, it will take about 15 to 18 months to complete the plan, which will cost an estimated $12,000 to $15,000 with federal and state aid paying three-fourths of the cost.

Mr. Jeandron said emphasis will be placed on improvements to the waterfront area. No decision has been made as to whether the borough will attempt to establish an urban renewal program, after the master plan is completed. "One of the difficulties, Mr. Jeandron commented, is that we have small areas, but no large Mothers Day Dinners Special at Bahrs Restaurant, Highlands, New Jersey.

PROVIDENCE, R.I., (AP) A Harvard professor says its a shame more modern literature isnt read in high school classes. Dr. Edwin Sauer suggested last night that parents get together with teachers and form committees to prepare the community for the use of realistic books by the better modern authors. Though he said he does not agree with some who contend that all of the old classics should be scrapped, he added it is time to use a little judgment. The trouble is, he told the spring conference of the Rhode Island Council of Teachers, in modern literature whats clean is not clear and what's clear is not clean.

We have all the right authors in all of the wrong books, he said. Dr. Sauer, an associate professor at the Harvard School of Education, said high school students are capable of handling literature of great maturity. If they are expected to react like adults to realistic literature, they will," he said. "Teachers should learn how to teach such At first, the community, rather than the pupil, must be prepared, he said, pointing out that if the community recognizes the value of modern realistic literature, and the teachers are prepared properly to teach it, pupils will have little trouble appreciating it.

Since practically all of modern literature is quite realistic, he said, students are being deprived of a wealth of learning material by being protected from it, Dr, Sauer said. CULTURAL LAG Of the six Americans who have won the Nobel Prize for literature, all except Pearl Buck are taboo in the classroom, he said. The absence of such authors as Ernest Hemingway, Sinclair Lewis, Eugene O'Neill, William Faulkner and S. Eliot represents a serious cultural lag, he said. Dr.

Sauer, who also is associated with the U.S. Office of Educations Project I ng-lish, said he successfully introduced realistic modern American literature into claves at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati, with the students reading such authois as James T. Farrell and John Dos Tassos. Mothers Day Dinners Special at Bahrs Restaurant, Highlands, New Jersey. Adv..
