BERGEN EDITION (g) The Herald-Kews, Friday, July 7, 1972 2 wisung arms 'J However, David Friedland of Hudson, who is one of the Assembly Democratic leaders, picked up the ball and announced the Hudson delegation "would" meet July 15 at the Casino to discuss the program. Some 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, he 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. 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 Republican 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 of whom are veterans of the game of politics is hard to determine, but on the face of it the chances are it means they might be ready to negotiate. The theory in the Assembly back room, however, is that the concensus is "no." 3 Paterson boards ruled illegal 7 ft By BOLTON SCHWARTZ -Herald-News Trenton Bureau TRENTON Gov. William Cahill has taken personal charge of the fight to win legislative approval of his tax reform package.

Yesterday, the governor began applying "reason" or "heat" (depending on which side you're on) to assemblymen whome is tackling delegation by delegation. 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 expects that a vote may be had when the legislature returns to session July 17 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 tax approach. The two were DeKorte, who is sponsor of the bills, and Charles R. Reid, 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 is for the program, one is opposed 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.

He said power should revert to them based on the statutes prior to the enactment by legislature of the present system in 1907. Judge Crane's decision declared unconstitutional the 1907 law, and subsequent amendments of the legislature, empowering the mayor, without the consent of the aldermen, to appoint members of the three boards. Judge Crane said the law was a violation of the state constitution' because it was tailored specifically for Paterson, excluding other communities by population.

He said the constitutional test of whether the state could' specify the type of local government based on population it whether "population bears a reasonable relation to the necessities and proprieties of the various kind of municipal He said the population classification must "rest upon distinctions that are substantial and not illusory." The 1907 law established this form of government for cities if they had a population of between 100,000 and 200,000. Paterson was the only city that qualified. 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 added: "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 xf municipal government local legislative functions are performed by elected representatives. "When a law by the application of its terms is designed to operate only in a specified, locality of the state, satisfactory reasons must be found to exclude from the prohibition against local laws.

"Here the legislative history has shown a continous effort to exclude other cities of the state having nearly the same population from the operation of the act." By HARRY MARA VEL Herald-News Staff Writer Three of the four major boards that run Paterson, which are appointed by the mayor, were declared unconstitutional yesterday by Superior Court Judge John F. Crane. Judge Crane, in the nine-page ruling on two suits brought by Paterson's Board of Aldermen and said unless the people of Paterson vote to change the form of government by Jan. 1, 1973, the aldermen will take over the duties of the three boards. He said if the Paterson voters expressed through a "referendum or otherwise their desire for a revision of the charter of the City of Paterson" by Jan.

1, 1973, then he would extend until Jan. 1,4974 the powers of the mayor and the Boards of Finance, Public Works and Fire and Police Commissioners. If the voters of Paterson have not expressed "their desire" for a change of government by Jan. 1, 1973, then the aldermen will take over the duties of the three The boards, Judge Crane said, "shall cease to exist and shall cease to excer-cise any prerogatives of office." The extension of the life of the three boards, in case of the referendum calling for change, is to insure, Judge Crane orderly transmittal" of governmental functions. The Board of Education, also appointed by the mayor, which was included in one of the two suits, was omitted from the ruling because it was not served "the notice of motion for summary disposition." The Rev.

William Mason, president of the Paterson Task Force, an anti-poverty group, and one of the plaintiffs in suit, said it was "an oversight" by his attorney in not serving the board with the motion. Paterson Mayor Arthur C. Dwyer said the decision by Judge Crane makes a strong case "for-a valid charter reform commission to be put together and act." "Really," he question is what is the best form of government for Paterson?"

McGovern still seen 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 Unless the American challenger or the Soviet champion pjeads 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?" Near the end it was: "Spassky go?" "I'm very pessimistic," Dr. Max Euwe said at 10 a.m. At noon: "It's a very. delicate situation." At 7 p.m., the president of the International Chess Federation sighed: "There's hope." That was yesterday. It could haye been any day in the garbled prelude to what chess lovers say is the match of the century Spassky of the U.S.S.R.

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 ah 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 disrespectful 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 (Continued from Page 1) jected to, rather than the planning. 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 that while 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, Passaiq and Morris Counties came from two Newark assemblymen. Assemblymen James Vreeland, R-Morris; JohnOsin-simer and Vincent O.

Pellecchia, C-Pas-, MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Sen. Ed-ward M. 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.

Despite Kennedy's repeated statements he won't be available, the offer will probably be made because polls show he would strengthen a McGovem-led "ticket, the sources said. The sources discounted the value or 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)-Caldwell Airport, 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 in 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 i he Wall Street Journal offering, "For sale, 250 acres of industrially zoned land, located in an active industrial growth area in suburban Essex County, N.J." A respondent to the ad received a letter from H. J.
