Election Law Codification Voted, 34-26 Measure Brings Attacks From Democratic Minority, Some Republican Legislators TRENTON, (IP) An election lawi codification bill that aroused a storm of criticism from the Democratic minority and some squeezed thru the New Jersey assembly yesterday by a vote of 34 to 26, highlighting a busy session of the New Jersey legislature. Other major results were: 1. Both houses passed and directed to Gov. Charles Edison the general state fund appropriation bill totaling $44,047,886, but the assembly delayed on the senate-approved state highway fund appropriation bill totaling $28,045,315.

2. The senate judiciary committee reported favorably on 20 nominations sent in by Gov. Charles Edison, including that of Assemblyman John E. Boswell (R-Cape May) to be public utility commissioner at a year for six years. Confirmation of the nominations was expected next Monday.

There were no confirmations yesterday. 3. Both houses adjourned until next Monday at 2 p. with the senate, and probably the assembly, scheduled to work thru both Monday and Tuesday in an attempt to clear up the work so as to make an early spring recess. The election laws codification bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Lester E.

Marr (R-Essex), was stripped of many of its controversial points, but nevertheless drew sharp attack from Assemblyman Peter P. Arta-aerse of Hudson, the Democratic minority leader and a follower of Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City. Artaserse contends the bill vested "the right of inquisition" in the superintendents of elections in Essex and Hudson counties, and shouted: "I defy any member of this house to show me that this bill Is not purely political." Says Few Read Bill He referred to the measure's 225 pages and remarked "I dare say that not ten members of the house have read this bill." Denying his measure, which now goes to the senate, gave the elections superintendents the "right of Inquisition," Mahr said the only additional function they were given was a provision requiring election boards to file duplicate copies of returns with them. At present, returns are filed with municipal and county clerks, and Mahr said that in Hudson county "the clerks keep them until the board of canvassers meets a week after election." In the meantime, he averred, "They get new ballots printed, stuff the boxes and that's the way they get 'majorities' of 175,000 in' Hudson county." Under his bill, Mahr said, the superintendent of elections could have ballot boxes impounded immediately after election if the returns indicated fraud. Before it was put up for a vote, Mahr's bill was amended by Assemblyman J.

Stanley Herbert (R-Monmouth) to remove a proposal for moving up the primary election next year to May, instead of September as it is now except in presidential years; to eliminate a requirement that candidates for statewide offices obtain petition signatures equaling one percent of the number of votes cast in the preceding general election, instead of the present and to return to two years, instead of the proposed three years, the terms of county election board members. Proctor (Continued from Page One) were also Introduced at yesterday's session. The probe bureau, proposed by Assemblyman David Young, 3d, (R.Morris), would be required to make Investigations ordered by the legislature. It would be headed by a lawyer elected by the legislature for a seven-year term at $12,000 a year. The measure, which carried an appropriation of $50,000, was referred to the house's Judiciary committee.

The bill to abolish the milk control board was introduced by Assemblyman Milton A. Feller and that to repeal the 1933 statute creating the office of finance commissioner by Sen. Thomas A. Mathis Finance commissioners serve at the will of the governor at $10,000 a year. The incumbent is Frank E.

Charles Edison's six recent Hudson county Judgeship nominations that were i blow to Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City were still locked In the senate's judiciary committee today after a whole day and evening of discord over appointments.

The State House was kept seeth. ing with delegations and banners, petitions and memorials, protests, charges and counter charges, angry words and hearings on claimed grievances. High point of the acrimony was reached late yesterday when Jack Brennan of Jersey City, one of a delegation of 50 veterans jamming a room in the executive suite, told Governor Edison he had "insulted" Marine Corps Veteran Alexander F. Ormsby of Jersey City, a Hague fol. lower, by failing to reappoint him as Hudson county common pleas judge.

"We consider a man who Insults a veteran as an enemy on the home front." cried Brennan, a national trustee of the Marine Corps league of which Ormsby has been a national leader for years. "We do not want to erect a statue next to Benedict Arnold to any man who has insulted a veteran." I in Delegation Apologize Two member of the veterans delegation backing Ormsby, which was largely from Hudson county, apologized to the governor for Brennan's remark about Benedict Arnold.

He was graduated from this training in December with the rating of an aviation machinist and was sent to San Diego, Cal.

In January he left for overseas service "somewhere in the South Pacific." Before entering the service Private Truax was employed at the Bendix Aircraft company. He Is a graduate of Manasquan high school. He won a scholarship to the Massa-nuttenMilitary academy in Virginia. His brother, Sgt. James W.

Pope Pius XI has granted to the bishops of the United States authority to dispense with some Lenten regulations if, because of rationing restrictions nutritious fond is difficult to obtain or if because of unusual working conditions or extra hard labor brought about by the war effort, fasting would prove detrimental to health. The Most Rev.

William A. Griffin, bishop of Trenton, which diocese includes Monmouth and Ocean counties, has released Catholics in this area from fasting regulations. However, church regulations requiring penance, works of charity, extra attendance at religious services as required in previous Lenten rules have not been relaxed and stricter observance along these lines is required. The relaxation of the rules Is not general. In the neighboring archdiocese of Newark and in the archdiocese of New York the same restrictions as to fasting and abstinence of meat in effect in previous years will prevail.

Tin Cans (Continued from Page One) our tin comes from Bolivia, he said, but our greatest supply will have to come from tin cans. The collection program as outlined last night calls for the general public to gather up all the cans which have been stored up and to get them ready for collection by Boy Scouts who will make a house-to-house canvass. The cans will be taken to central locations in the city by municipal and donated trucks. Shortly afterward trucks of the New Jersey beverage industry will cart them either directly to the de-tinning plant at Sewaren or they will be sent there by freight. Mr.

Devane told the organization that aside from the great amount of tin that can be salvaged from food containers, the remaining material is high-grade steel and is sent immediately to the nation's steel mills. He used the meeting to deny officially propaganda to the effect that tin cans saved by housewives were being sold to breweries and after reclaiming were used to package alcoholics. He explained that rumor began because the government found it possible to dispose of certain parts of the cans not needed in the dctinning operation by selling them to such organizations. They in turn, he said, cleaned, flattened and prepared the cans for detinning and carted them at their own expense to detinning plants. In order to aid the detinning operation, Mr.

Devane said, it is necessary for the housewife to remove the top of the can entirely, make numerous openings in the bottom and flatten the can completely. He explained that one improperly prepared can or one that has not been thoroly cleaned may destroy an entire lot when it goes thru the detinning process. He said the importance of can-saving could not be over-emplia-sized. It has been found, he said, that tin packages are the only ones suitable for the shipment of blood plasma, so vital to the fighting men of the nation. "Every housewife in Asbury Park must flatten a tin can with the same effort she cooks the he said.

He called upon the youths of the community to aid in the campaign, particularly the Boy Scouts. As soon as the can program is under way, he said, a concerted effort will be made here to salvage cooking fats and old silk stockings. The fats produce vitally-needed glycerin, he said, and old stockings provide powder bags and parachute material. The W. P.

B. representative received a pledge of cooperation from Mr. Reidy and the rest of the committee. Kendall Lee, beachfront director and Boy Scout leader will be in charge of arranging the participation of the scouts in the drive; City Manager Armstrong in charge of city participation; Dr. Maurice Coleman, school participation; Frank S.

Savage, executive secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, business participation, and James P. Nolan, publicity. Howard Jones, In-terlaken, will arrange the shipment of cans to detinning plants as representative of the beverage industry. Prior to the meeting the committee was guest of the State Defense council at dinner at Charlie Becker's restaurant.

on German-occupied buildings in the past three days, the Fighting French reported. The Vichy radio reported the ship, mcnt of French workers without disclosing the total number of persons involved. The London "Daily Express" said Hitler had ordered that France be stripped of every able-bodies male between 18 and 40 who might join the Allied forces in the event of a landing in France, and declared the order applied to men up to 50 who are not working directly for the Nazis. Coffee houses, movies and even private homes are being combed by the Gestapo for men who can be transported to Germany, the paper said. The Dakar radio said 200 French people, most of them women, were arrested in the Lyons and Mar-scilles regions when they tried to stop trains that were taking workers to Germany.

Nuernberg (Continued from Page One) heard a steady procession of bombers heading toward the continent for more than an hour last evening. The Vichy radio said British planes also were over the Netherlands. The R. A. F.

raid last night, which came as Britain enjoyed another night free from attack by enemy planes, was a swift follow-up to a smashing assault by American Flying Fortresses and Liberators yesterday on the important railway centers on Rouen and Rennes in France. The big American bombers were credited with shooting down more than a score of the German fighter planes which swarmed about them in a futile attempt to break up the raid. R. A. F.

and Allied fighters which escorted the bombers were reported to have brought down five additional enemy planes. Allied losses consisted of four bombers and two fighters. The German radio declared that 33 were killed and many others injured in the raid on one town but did not specify whether it was at Rouen or Rennes. Considerable damage was done to dwellings and public buildings, the Berlin broadcast said.
