Richard J. Hughes said yesterday he saw a need for an east-west toll road linking Trenton with the Shore area. Mr. Hughes told newsmen that, although studies have shown such a highway would not be economically feasible, as a layman, he believed the link should be established. CITES RESORT AREAS He pointed out that Rt.

33 is now dualized, but that future road links with other states may bring millions of motorists into New Jersey who want to reach the Shores resorts. The governor attended a lunch at the Forge Inn here yesterday with the commissioners and executives of the New Jersey Highway Authority. Later he visited the headquarters of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. During his administration, he said, he planned to remain familiar with the activities and progress of the Garden State Parkway, which is operated by the highway authority. KEY PROBLEM Several times a year were going to meet, he said.

One of the states key problems is transportation, he declared. The authority group had assembled to hear a report from Bertram D. Tallamy, consulting engineer of Washington, D.C., on the future maintenance requirements of the northern portion of the Parkway. Mr. Tallamy is a former chairman of the New York State Thruway Authority.

Last May he was hired for $26,000 to make a detailed survey of the maintenance needs of that portion of the parkway which lies north of Rt. 22. This section carries the greatest volume of traffic that uses the 173-mile long superhighway. His survey was based on new data revealed during a 10-year study of highways which was carried out by the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads and the Highway Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences.

PAVED SURFACES The Parkways study shows that during the next 13 years the highway authority will have to. spend an average of $500,000 annually to maintain the paved surfaces and bridges in the section examined. According to Melvin J. Kohn, the authority now spends an average of $300,000 a year to maintain the same area and $500,000 a year to maintain the entire highway. Mr.

Tallamy said that the studies showed that the parkway was generally in good shape, but that a need for preventive maintenance was very apparent. FINANCING PROGRAM The study he said, will assist the authority In the establishment of a year-to-year financing program to keep the road in the best possible condition and prevent its deterioration which might result in a need for reconstruction. The survey procedures of the consultants were observed by authority engineers who subsequently will make a similar study of the highway south of Rt 22 without the aid of consulting services. First jLas tion at Funcino, Italy, not yet completed, will be able to receive its signals. Stations at Nutiey, N.J., and Rio de Janeiro were designed to exchange voice and teletype tests, with the Brazilian station also passing along these tests to the Italian station.

The Saturday schedule calls for news stories to be exchanged between the United States and Europe.

The fire damaged the rear portion of the 76-year-old frame structure on Navesink Ave. The blaze is believed to have started in a basement oil burner. Because of damage to the church, service will be held Sunday in the Navesink Library.

He said the interior of the NAVESINK Fire, believed to have started in an oil burner, caused an estimated $35,000 damage to the Methodist Church on Navesink yesterday. Fire and church officials said the blaze damaged the rear planned Monday between the United States and Smith America. If all goes well, the public will witness an intercontinental Christmas program Wednesday televised through Relay. The program, carried by all three U.S. television networks, will feature yuletide preparations in 11 nations on the North American and European continents.

Mr. Crawford said he and other church officials and firemen inspected the building last night and said it appears the blaze started in the oil burner.

He said it could not be determined exactly bow the fire started there. There was no one in the building when the fire broke out. More than 75 firemen from five volunteer companies battled the fire. Praises Volunteers Mr. Crawford praised the volunteers and credited them with confining damage to the rear section of the church.

He said the building can.be repaired and that the congregation will probably undertake a program soon to repair the structure.

New Shrewsbury Councilman Robert Davidson, who with Coun cilman Herbert L.

"Lately the airport operator seems to have made a definite effort to see that planes there keep to the stated pattern, he said. But what bothers me is that if a plane does transgress the rules, there seems to be nothing to do but call the local police, and there is nothing at all that they can "The Federal Aviation Authority, he added, seems not to be willing to take the responsibility of enforcing' the rules on takeoffs and landings and low-flying planes.

The new $750,000 interchange is on the Middletown and Holm-del Townships boundary line. The fasBttfr-yilli he numbered 114. Ten-cent tolls will be charged to motorists using the southbound exit and northbound entrances to the highway.

The other two ramps are free. The new facility is the first complete interchange to be built since the Parkway was built in 1955. Melvin J. Kohn, assistant to the executive director of the authority, said feasibility surveys have shown that the new interchange will pay for itself in about a dozen years. Beginning Tuesday, flyers will be given to motorists using the Telegraph Hill access roads in Holmdel, explaining the closing of that area and advising possible alternate routes which give access to the highway.

No Exit Thursday morning users of the area will be told verbally that there will be no exit that Mr. Kohn said the cost of the new interchange includes approximately $10,000 the highway authority estimates it has spent to the company to check on a repair crew" she was expecting, found the real leak and had it repaired immediately, police said. Lieut. Clayton said the incident occurred this way: A man, neatly dressed in business attire, appeared at the womans door Wednesday at 10 a.m., and flashed a card identifying him as a representative of the Newark office there is no such thing of the New Jersey Natural Gas Company. He said the company had discovered a gas leak in the main in the street nearby and was checking private homes to seek any related trouble.

He said this proved leaks and a serious condition which could cause an explosion, widespread neighborhood damage. Injuries and possible loss of life. Woman Frightened The woman was frightened. She was told that a repair crew could be on the scene by about 3 p.m., but that in the meantime she should join the company in procuring a bond to safeguard ail concerned against damage claims if a blast did occur.

Most, New Jersey municipalities have been figuring exemptions on assessed value.

Veterans presently receive a $500-a-year property tax exemption and elderly homeowners $800. The exemptions would not be worth as much on assessments computed at 100 per cent valuation. Cite Example An older person's home with a true value of $10,000, for example might be assessed in some municipalities at 40 per cent now, or $4,000. The $800 is then leaving $3,200 to be taxed. -On the basis of true value computations, the $800 would be deducted from the $10,000 before the 40 per cent ratio is applied, leaving $3,680 to be taxed.

Index CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) A new communications satellite named Relay soared through space today awaiting a call that would put it to work as a versatile link among nations of the Western world. A Thor-Delta rocket, living up to its reputation for reliability, lifted the 172-pound communications satellite into the heavens Related Story, Page 2 Thursday night, just one second behind its scheduled 6:30 p.m. departure. It was the 14th straight successful mission for Thor-Delta.

Three hours after liftoff, as Relay completed its first circle of the globe, a spokesman for the National Aerosautics and Space Administration announced: "The orbit looks extremely dose to nominal. Plan Careful Study The exact path of Relay will be known after a careful study of telemetry data, sometime today, he said. A nominal or planned-orbit called for a speed of 17,000 miles an hour, an orbital path ranging from 800 miles to 4,500 miles high, and one complete trip around the world every 3 hours NASAs Robert Mackey said the first contact with Relay would be attempted by a NASA test station at Nutiey, N.J. If its systems checked out favorably, the first communications experiments will be attempted by ground stations at Andover, Maine, and Goonhilly Downs, Great Britain. One Interruption Robert Gray, a NASA official, said the only interruption in the day-long countdown came in the early morning' when workers at the launch pad had to pause to knock ice off the gantry.

Relay rose into the heavens in the midst of Floridas worst cold spell in this The temperature at launch time was a windy 39 with the mercury falling. Relay was launched at night so that it could speed over the horizon into the sunlight for maximum exposure during its -first four orbits. This was necessary to allow the 8,215 solar cells lining its outer surface to soak up energy from the sun and convert it into electrical energy to charge the spacecraft's storage batteries. Relays power supply was designed to permit communications tests for 1 hour, 40 minutes each day. Its designers predicted it would operate at maximum efficiency for the first 30 days in orbit, and render useful data for one year.

It is geared to relay television, radio, teletype, telephone, and high-speed data signals between Andover, Goonhilly Downs and Pleumeurboudou, France. A sta benefits going to high-income bracket individuals and corporations. In a formal policy statement the committee also urged a second and later reduction of $5 billion if Congress and the administration can hold federal spending at present levels. This tax package, the CED said, would lead to higher rates of production, employment, investment and growth. It declared that although the Immediate result of the tax changes might be larger budget deficits, the long-term result would be budget surpluses because the government would bring In greater revenue from a speeded-up economy.

Frazer B. Wilde, chairman of the CED subcommittee that studied, the tax question for nearly A year, also contended the proposals would help eliminate what he described as "Marxist" features of the system. IceboatingSlatedTh that property tax exemptions for veterans and homeowners over 65 must be computed on the basis of true value. The ruling also applies to exemptions for parsonages and household goods. It coincided with a preliminary opinion issued by the Attorney Generals Office last month.

The state treasurers office requested the formal opinion following a recent decision by the state Supreme Court. The decision held that state law requires municipal tax assessors to compute exemptions on the basis of true rather than assessed value. Measure Passed However, after the preliminary ruling, the Legislature passed a bill allowing municipal tax assessors to compute exemptions on the basis of assessed value through next year. ers with the result being iceboating this weekend.

Here is how the first stages of the CEDs proposed tax program, which it said should be retroactive to Jan. 1, 1963, would work: -All individual income tax rates would be reduced at least 8 per cent and the maximum rate would be reduced from 91 per cent to 70 per cent. The present 52 per cent corporate income tax rate would be cut to 47 per cent. Individuals in the lowest bracket would receive $2 billion of the $6 billion of tax benefits, the CEDs economists estimated. Tax payments by corporations and higher-bracket Individuals would be reduced by $2 billion each.
