The county's governing body voted unanimously yesterday to endorse the new agency and to rescind the endorsement of the now-defunct Monmouth Community Action Pro- -gram. The action yesterday follows the timetable set up by the federal Community Services Administration (CSA) for. establishing a new anti-poverty agency to replace MCAP, which was disbanded last spring because of alleged financial mismanagement. The CSA oversees anti-poverty agenoies. The new agency has.

been incorporated and is expected to be in operation by mid-September. All municipalities in the county were notified of the pending designation and no objections to it were filed, according to Richard T. O'Connor, county counsel. The board also passed a resolution requesting the CSA to pay the vendors, employees and landlords who are still owed money from their dealings with MCAP. MCAP still owes more than $300,000 to vendors who did work or provided services for the anti-poverty agency.

Money was also withheld from employees' salaries for taxes and a pension fund but was never deposited in the proper accounts. The CSA has said anyone wanting to recover these funds will have to sue the former MCAP board of trustees and that the CSA will not be responsible. "These vendors should be paid by the government," Freeholder Ray Kramer, who introduced the resolution, said. "Not paying them will hinder the work of the new agency because the new agency will not be able to get credit." The board voted to petition Congress to pay the bills. 7 The board also approved a resolution asking the new Check Mate board of trustees, which has not been selected yet, to give hiring preference to former MCAP employees who had good records.

Freeholder Ernest G. Kavalek, who introduced that resolution, said, "We are giving birth to a new organization that will administer the benefits to those who need them." "There were a lot of good employees of See MCAP'S SUCCESSOR Page A4 NEWARK Wall Township's right to hold a hearing on revoking the liquor license of the Royal Manor nightclub has been upheld by an appeals court and owner Arthur S. Stock and his lawyer will meet with the Township Committee tomorrow night to determine the future of the club. Judge John F. Crane, of the Appellate Division of Superior Court, yesterday upheld an earlier decision, made by Superior Court Judge Thomas Yaccarino in Freehold which said the township has the right to hold the hearing.

John Jay'Mangini, township attorney, said he received a telephone message from Crane's office yesterday afternoon, announcing the judge had denied the appeal of Warren Wilentz, Stock's lawyer, for a stay of the hearing. Yaccarino barred the township from holding the hearing, originally scheduled for July 26, when Wilentz filed an appeal, arguing the arrest of club manager John McDonald would leave the club defenseless at the hearing. McDonald, who has been charged with murder, theft, and conspiring to commit murder and theft, and the club's head bouncer, Brian Magovern, were arrested the day the hearing was to be held. Magovern is charged with obstructing justice. Three other club employees, two bouncers and a bartender, have also been charged with murder in the July 15 beating death of Thomas Warncke, a 19-year-old Middletown Township man.

However, on Aug. 7, Yaccarino denied the club's appeal and said the township could proceed with the hearing. It was that decision that Crane upheld yesterday. Mangini, who filed a brief regarding the township's case and did not attend the hearing yesterday, said he was "very pleased with the decision. "I think it was the proper result," he.

said. Mangini said the committee will have to reach a decision on "three basic issues" at the hearing.

Government and industry officials said yesterday that Texaco discovery of natural gas in the Baltimore Canyon will intensify investment off the New Jersey coast. The Department; of Interior next February Is scheduled to sell more acreage in the Baltimore Canyon and Texaco's success has revitalized interest in drilling there. "There is no doubt that Texaco has in- to Marlboro Hospital and then transferred to New Hope Foundation.

The latter unit has been in existence for about four years, according to Barry W. Johnson, executive director of the National Council on Alcoholism of Central New Jersey. New Hope has Its rehabilitation center in a cottage at the psychiatric hospital. The change in funding will allow indigent persons, whom the county pays for, to be admitted directly to New Hope for rehabilitation. The change will also result in a saving to the county since Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital charges $33 per day for treatment and New Hope will charge $29, Johnson said.

The program is part of the effort to comply with new state standards to decriminalize the treatment of alcoholics. The rehabilitation center will provide Intermediate care, supervision, and counseling. Yesterday, Health Commissioner Joanne Sec FUNDS WILL GO Page A4 ises, including the incident of July 15, in violation of ABC (state Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control) rules and regulations," Mangini said. "We are charging the licensee permitted the place to become a public nuisance," Mangini said, "also in violation of ABC rules and regulations." The third issue, he said, stems from a violation of the conditions of the license renewal, by allowing the club to become overcrowded. "This is based on the township occupancy ordinance which determines the number of persons allowed in a public place at any given time," he said.

The capacity for the Royal Manor is 746. Township police have issued the nightclub at least six summonses this summer for overcrowding. 1 The township will present evidence supporting the charges at the hearing, Mangini said. "The licensee will present information, either documentary or by witnesses, in explanation or defense of the charges," he said. Reached at his home yesterday afternoon, Wilentz said, "I doubt very much we're going to appeal it further." Any further appeal would have to be made to the state Supreme Court, he said.

The Woodbridge lawyer declined comment when asked whether he was optimistic about the township hearing. "I'll leave that to the politicians," he said. The hearing, which the public will be allowed to attend but not allowed to participate in, probably willl be completed tomorrow evening, Mangini said. "But you never can tell," he said, "it nnnlrl ho ni-nlnnrrorl I.UU1U uc pi UlUllgl.U. Only four of the five members of the committee will take part in the hearing.

A similar plan has passed the House. The basic provision in the Carter plan would increase from $16,000 to $25,000 the maximum family income level for which tuition aid would be available.

The grants would range from $1,800 a year at the $6,000 income level to $250 at the $25,000 level. Similar increases would be made in college loan programs. Before approving the tuition credit, the Senate ended three days of arguments over constitutionality by eliminating a provision that would have provided a credit for parents of pupils attending private elementary and secondary schools. The House-passed bill includes tu.tion aid for those lower level schools and, thus, the issue will be among those to be decided by a House-Senate conference committee. But backers see little hope for retaining the elementary-secondary aid provision this year.

"The companies don't like to say what they are going to do, but if Texaco has hit pay dirt they are going to be very interested when the next lease sale comes up At the same time, Congress is prepared to pass a new Outer Continental Shelf Act which contains a provision to encourage natural gas supply companies to invest in offshore drilling operations.

The company also is considering investment when the lease sale takes place next year. "We are very encouraged by the Texaco discovery," the official commented. "But at this point it is too early to say If Texaco has found a commercial field.

If they have, and other companies also find gas, it could be a significant development." Oil and gas industry officials downplayed the Texaco discovery yesterday and generally encouraged a "wait-and-see" approach toward future drilling operations. "We don't like to discuss this in detail because it is a very competitive business. Companies don't want to let the other guy know what he plans to do," said a spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute, an industry trade association. The oil and gas industry already has invested over $1.1 billion in 529,466 acres in the Baltimore Canyon.

Smells, Racket Plague Manalapan Area WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate, intent on providing college tuition tax relief for middle-income families, is debating whether to approve the grants favored by President Carter instead of or in addition to a new tax credit. The president says the nation cannot afford both programs). He has been sharply critical of the Senate's proposed $500-per-stu-dent tuition tax credit, which was approved on a 65-27 vote last night.

Although the vote was lopsided enough to override any presidential veto, the margin by which the House approved its version of the credit last June was far short of the two-thirds majority necessary to override. Even so, Sen. William V. Roth, chief sponsor of the bill, said the Senate vote was "a clear signal that tuition tax credits are preferred to the costly, cumbersome Carter proposal." Final Senate action is expected today on a modified version of the expanded grants program that Carter proposed as an alterna would chase the birds from the trees on her property. "My trees had turned white from the droppings and it smelled so bad," she said.

"I hope it was okay to use the firecrackers, but I had to do something." The' firecrackers have kept the birds from the trees in her yard, but the noise and the smell from the' blackbirds across the street are still present, she said. "When it's hot and humid, you can smell them," she noted. According to Lynda Lyon, Caccamise's research assistant, the birds are not likely to be moved until they are ready to go. The birds normally roost in one place for four to 12 weeks, she said, and McKee said It's In The Cards Selling unused items rs easier than ever. Press Classified now accepts Visa and Matter-charge.

This is the first of what Is expected to be an annual county grant to the foundation averaging $156,500. The agency is expected to treat 180 county residents who have problems with alcoholism for an average of 30 days each year. The money from the county is now being given to Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital for the same purpose and is part of the county's $900,000 allocation for treatment of patients with mental diseases.

The freeholders voted yesterday to divert this money to New Hope. The appropriation to New Hope is a budgetary change and does not involve raising additional county funds, according to County Administrator Theodore J. Narozanick.
