In Queens magistrate court yesterday he said: "I'm married and have a four-year-old daughter and I'm a signalman for the Long Island Railroad.

They keep getting me deferred. I want to fight." His draft board, explaining it had granted the deferment at the rail, road's request, said it could do nothing, he said, so he offered to punch the hoard chairman in the nose. The latter had Wilson arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct. The judge found him guilty then suspended sentence. A.LIv-:- Sr.

He testified he had been led to drinking by outside troubles and family difficult ies.

Speaking of his previous attempts to gain control of the estate. Whitehead told the court yesterday, that "if these legal fees keep up much longer there won't be any need of my coming here and there won he 30 cents left of my money." Chris Kuhlman. owner of the apartment building and stores at 206 Main street, told the court of having seen Whitehead for some time and not having seen him drunk over a period of years, and Max Barr. Asbury Park lawyer, recently named to the county board of elections, told of his talks with the man for some time without having noticed any return to drunkenness Whitehead, on the stand, told of his present employment and affirmed that he had not taken a drink in the past three years He told the court that he had taken the bar business on the advice of Dr. Villipiano and used it as a "test" to determine his ability to work near liquor and yet to keep from taking any.

A friend, he said, endorsed a note to allow him to gain the funds to make the purchase. Mrs. Whitehead, the daughter of a former mayor of South River. took tip stand and told of the "unbearable" actions of While-head while he was in the habit of drinking She told Chancrlnr Berry, in answer to one of his questions on the matter, that she left Whitehead and felt herself 'fortunate to get awav with her life Questioned concerning her interest in the man now that he had come into some money, while she had not seen nor had contact him for 17 years before this, Mrs. Whitehead said she thought it "his duty" to care for her.

Cndcr a court order, she received $10 a week from the estale hanrelor Berry, in ruling that he would take the matter under advisement, told hoth attorneys that he would rail a conference with them before announcing his derision.

Tel Aabury Par 0i ESTABLISHED JO TEAM author of a score of technical papers and several engineering innovations, expected to present this tunnel-bulkhead plan for consideration at the army engineers' hearing today at Freehold on the proposed canal joining the Manasquan and Shrewsbury rivers.

Mr. Albert says the cost of constructing this tunnel-bulkhead would not. be prohibitive and would soon pay for itself in time and materials saved and the subsequent rise in real estate values along the Shore. DARING IDEA This tunnel-bulkhead from Manasquan to New York is Odd Albert's plan for the shape of things to come. Rather than cut a canal thru land he would build this superhighway 3,000 feet at sea thus forming a natural canal between the bulkhead and the shore and at the same time providing the missing link in the inland waterway from Florida to New York harbor.

The diagram at the extreme right shows the approximate location of the bulkhead which would change into a tunnel for motor traffic and subway trains shortly beyond Sandy Hook. Mr. Albert, a resident of Wall township, is employed as a structural engineer at the navy munitions project at Karle. He is a graduate engineer with master of science degree in mathemalics and came to the United States from Sweden in lOlfi. After working for private companies he became a bridge designer with the New Jersey highway commission and associated in the designing of the Pulaski Skyway.

From 1936 to June, 1943. he was assistant professor at Newark College of Engineering and during this period was consulting engineer on government engineering work in Monmouth county. Mr. Albert, Soviet Troops Reported there are no noises. That when the Nip is on the prowl." The average U.

Jr LONDON The Red army, plunging rapidly toward the prewar Rumanian border, has dealt German communications in the lower t'kraine another severe blow-by cutting anew the Odessa-Lwnw rail line and Soviet forces are closing In steadily on the Nazi-held stronghold of Vinnitsa and Niknlaev, Moscow announced today.

In their vital smash at the Germans' lateral communications in the I kraine. the Russians captured the rail junction of Yapnyarka. 45 miles southeast of Vinnitsa, the communique said.

Vapnyarka is on that part of the Odessa line running into Zhmerinka. and is 25 miles from the Dniester river frontier of Bessarabia Two Secondary Fscape Lines The Russians previously announced they had slashed the Odes-sa-Lwovv trunk line between Tarn-opol and Proskurov. Vapnyarka's fall left the Germans to the southeast hut two secondary rail escape lines into Rumania Its seizure rep trips in one year would mean a national yearly saving of $10,000,000, he says. Carrying his idea further he declares that the type tunnel-bulkhead could be extended to cover the whole Atlantic coast rut-ting train travel in a vacuum tube from New York to Florida to about eight hours Mr. Albert estimates the total rot to be $190,000,000.

Under his plan it would be a two-year job and would create work for 1.400 archi-lects. engineers and survey ors: 3.000 carpenters. 2.500 masons. 800 electricians. 600 painters.

600 mechanics and about 9.000 laborers.

Rotary Hears Transport Talk RED BANK Red Bank Rotarians were entertained yesterday with the History of Transportation in Monmouth County." the subject of an address given by Theodore La-brecque.

Red Bank attorney. Tracing the advance of transportation in Monmouth county and its relation to the development of the county. Mr. Labrecqne disclosed many little-known facts. In 1835.

the first railroad started operations and was then called the Camden and Amboy railroad, and supplied the only means of transportation between New York and Philadelphia, he said In 1854 the first line was chartered in Monmouth county, and connected Red Bank with Tort Mon-moulh This line was later extended to Eatontown and then to Long Branch. The formation of the New York and Long Branch railroad was completed in 1876 and from that date Shore towns experienced mushroom of growth. In less than 10 years the population of Monmouth' county had more than doubled. Delving Inlo the history of the former trolley lines. Mr.

LaBrecque told of the first line started in 1895 running between Red Bank and Long Branch. Many lines sprung up thrunut the county and soon it was possible to travel to almost any point along the Shore by trolley. Mentioning the financial difficulties encountered by the trolley lines during the 20 years of operation, the speaker told of their suspension of service in 1922 and 1923, and their subsequent replacement by the bus lines now providing transportation facilities in Monmouth county.

Mr. Albert a this would occur within the first ear and soon as the beach had formed, it would create extra protection for the bulkhead. By having the front walls extra thick, there will be protection aaainst submarine attacks The construction itself would not offer great engineering obstacles', he says The main structure would consist of concrete arches designed so they could not collapse. They would contain very little steel reinforre-menl.

As it would be possible to begin construction of these 150 sections at many places it would be possible to complete the job in two years, he says. There would be no foundation work needed as the tunnel-bulkhead would rest directly on the ocean floor. As the unit pressure under th bulkhead would he small. It would not move when once settled. Karh foot length of the bulkhead would weigh approximately 160.000 pounds and as the largest force of a wave is 900 pounds per font length, the waves would have no effect on the bulkhead.

Mr. Albert continues. Each 1 000-foot section would con-lain 3.600.000 cubic feet so the pet-unit cost of 16 cenls woulr1 then be $1,200,000 per section, he figures All connections with the shore would be by ferries and where the ferry terminals are. the bulkhead would be built out into a station with all ordinary facilities The most expensive part of the project would he the one mile stretch where the whole bulkhead is tunneled under the entrance of the channel to New York harbor. 35 Minutes to New York Mr.

Albeit claims this tunnel-bulkhead would create rapid connections with New York city and estimates that the trip between As-hury Park and the New York central terminal would take about 35 minules instead of one hour and 45 minutes The new highway would thus shorten the car driven distance between the two places by about 17 miles. If the cost of driving a car is assumed to he three cenls a mile, the saving on one trip would be about 50 rents, thus 20.000.000 Don't Put It Off!
