rS MORRIS EDlTOfcJ i The Herald-News, KiJoyJblf 7) Cahill twis ting 4 1 meet July 15 at the Casino to discuss the program. Soma told the governor yesterday there were problems that would have to be corrected. For Cahill and his program it was not a very good day. According to reports, lie failed to win any converts at the meetings with the members of four delegations. And two assemblymen who had been registered as for the program in The Herald-News poll of last Thursday (Assemblymen C.

Louis Bassano and Herbert H. Kiehm, both Union Republicans) said yesterday they had been in-correctly recorded and were flatly against the plan. The governor's persbn-to-person talks with the legislators will continue through next week, as will also his committee of experts, headed by Pierre P. Garven his personal counsel. The committee will try to answer questions legislators might still have about the program.

And the governor will continue to fight to get the votes to pass it, In the Passaic delegation, William H. Hicks, a black Paterson member, was for the program and the other three Demo, crats were opposed. Cahill was apparently somewhat shocked to learn that Evers, who had been for the program, was now against it, although the Passaic Republi. can was not there to speak for himself, Cahill may have felt he made some progress in his meeting with the Hudson Democrats. The seven-member Hudson group had mainly registered "undecided" in last week's Herald-News poll.

Exactly what undecided means to Hudson Democrats most pf whom are veterans of the game of politics is hard to determine, but on the face of it the chances pre it means they might be ready to negotiate. The theory in the Assembly back room, however, is that the concensus is "no." However, David Friedland of Hudson, who is one of the Assembly Democratic leaders, picked up the ball and an. nounced the Hudson delegation would A 3 Paterson boards ruled illegal if FREED BY HIJACKER Sue Shaw, 20, of Canoga Park. By BOITON SCHWARTZ Herald-News Trenton Bureau TRENTON Gov. William CahilJ has taken personal charge of the fight to win legislative approval of his tax reform packaged Yesterday, the governor began apply-.

ing, "reason" or "heat" (depending 05 1 which side you're on) to assemblymen whom he is tackling delegation' by dele, gation. First to meet with Cahill was the Bergen Republican group including Richard W. DeKorte, Republican leader of the lower house. Cahill, in a statement issued after the session, said he had reaffirmed his total support of the program, had pointed out the "crisis facing property owners if tax reform is not adopted," and added that although he was convinced the program "still faces an uphill fight" he will be continuing his efforts to win approval for it. Cahill expect that a vote may be had when the legislature returns to session July J7 and hopes that by that time he will have spoken in person to every Assembly member.

Those who attended the Bergen session with the governor said there had been no heavy arm twisting or other displays of power. Their view was that Cahill was falling back on reason and persuasion in his battle to get the package through the Assembly, Of the seven Bergen Republicans, a head count revealed that only two favored the income tax-statewide property ttax approach. The two were DeKorte, "who is sponsor of the bills, and Charles R. Reid, who, like DeKorte, represents the 13D Assembly district, Cahill did not meet yesterday with the Bergen Democrats. It is understood, however, that of the three members of that party, one isjor the program, one is op posed and the third is undecided.

The governor got very little satisfaction out of his sessions with the four Passaic County Democrats (John F. Evers, the lone Republican, was absent) or the three Republicans from Essex who responded to the call.

Paterson was the only city that quali-ified. Subsequent amendments raised the population base from 10,000 to 133,000 in 1923. Judge Crane, in the last half of his opinion.explained why this classification by population is "illusory," He said the "legislative purpose was to create a special form of government for the City of Paterson." He "It is not denied that Paterson's unique structure of government finds no counterpart in any other municipality of the state.

It is conceded that in- all other forms of municipal government local legislative functions are performed by elected representatives, "When a law by the applicatioa of its terms is designed to operate only in a specified locality of the state, satisfactory reasons must be found to exclude provisions against special laws have been violated." JudgeCrane said if the original statute of 1907 were upheld, and the amendments on population restriction held invalid, then "Paterson's unique form of government would then be inflicted upon Elizabeth, Camden and Trenton." He said "such a bizarre result is certainly to be avoided." Judge Crane dismissed the Board of Alderman contention that a local ordinance is required for commissioners of tax assessments to be appointed by the mayor. "Where an office Is created by stat. ute," he said "no ordinance on the part of the local governing body is necessary." JudgeCrane said no evidence was produced by the plaintiffs on their contention that it was illegal for the city to pay overtime compensation to the tax assessors. He said his determination on the con-stitutionality of the mayor appointing the three boards means "it will not be necessary to discuss" the assertions of the plaintiffs that the U.S. Constitution is violated by this form of government.

"REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer lost the draw last night, giving Boris Spassky the first move, and the world championship chess match will finally start next Tuesday, Unless the American challenger or the Soviet champion pleads illness and gets another postponement, The confusion of the past week was summarized by the old woman selling cigarettes who asked in the beginning: "Fischer come?"

vs. Fischer of the U.S.A. Spassky arrived early to wait for Bobby. Saying "I came to play," he philosophically accepted the first postponement when Fischer didn't show. Later he demanded an apology or he wouldn't play.

Fred Cramer, who advanced a slender claim to represent Fischer and called a lot of news conferences, forecast like a man who ought to know: "I can't see Bobby apologizing." The letter began: "Dear Boris: Please accept my sincerest apology for my dis-respectful behavior At another news conference, one of Fischer's lawyers said he'd come to say he had nothing to say. Yefim Geller, Spassky's second, fielded questions with: "Kak Gavarit po Anglis-ki," or as you say in English, "No ft of the state having nearly the same population from the operation of the act." Judge Crane later said: "No logical reason can be preceived as to why essentially all local legislative function in Paterson must be performed by officials appointed by the mayor Twhile they are performed by elected representatives in all other municipalities of the state. "NorJ is there any explanation why municipalities of nearly similar size are excluded from the operation of the acts.

He added that the Bergen County Golf Course had been built on top of garbage. "Everybody seems to talk about garbage, but nobody knows where to put it," Russo complained.

Russo is a Lyndhurst commissioner and former mayor. Another objection came from Assemblyman Eldridge Hawkins, D-Essex, who asked De Korte how he could favor regionalization in the Meadowlands while opposing regionalization of school districts. DeKorte said the cases were different, and thatjvhile larger school districts had no proven advantages, regionalization was necessary to control development and preserve the ecology of "a priceless asset of the state." Among the other speakers for the bill was Assemblyman Herbert C. Klein, D- Passaic. Aside from Russo and Pareti, the only no votes from Bergen, Essex, Passaic and Morris Counties came from two Newark assemblymen.

Kennedy will still have "first refusal" on the vice presidential nomination if Sen, George McGovern captures the Democratic presidential nod, sources close to the South Dakota senator said today. tt Despite Kennedy's repeated statements he won't be available, the offer will probably be made because polls show he would strengthen a McGovern-led ticket, the sources said. The sources discounted the value of polls ordered by McGovern on other possible running mates, declaring it is impossible to measure the value of possible candidates who are not so well known, such as Govs. Reubin Askew of Florida and Dale Bumpers of Arkansas. Both have been mentioned by McGovern as leading possibilities.

(AP)-Catfwell Air-port, in fairfield, one of New Jersey's largest general aviation airports and the only one in Essex County, is reportedly up for sale. The airport's owner, the Curtiss-Wright is reportedly seeking $6.5 million for the 278-acre tract, and is attempting to attract industrial developers.

Some 250 planes are based at the airport, which operates under a lease with Curtiss-Wright that expires April, 1973. Rumors have been circulating for some time that the airport might be sold for industrial development, as was the Toto-wa-Wayne airport several years ago. The Aviation Advisory Council of New Jersey has been conducting a "Save New Jersey Airports" campaign for three years, with special emphasis on Caldwell. News of the, sale was learned after an advertisement was placed recently in the Wall Street Journal offering, "For sale, 250 acres of industrially zoned land, lo. cated in, an active industrial growth area in suburban Essex County, N.J." A respondent to the ad received a letter from H.J Knell, Curtiss Wright's director of corporate real estate, offering the airport for $8.5 million.
