i A2ASBURY PARK EVENING PRESS, Jon. 8, 1974 CEREBRAL PALSY Appeal Unit Says Condemnation By Matawan Proper Ousted Police Sergeant May Be Disciplined ii 1 tract and component structures as a municipal center. The court rejected the position of South River Metal Products that the township'i condemnation was arbitrary, that the site was poorly located and not well adapted to the needs of the municipality, and that the township had acted in bad faith. "The testimony upon which this argument is based is disputed but the dispute actually centers on the exercise of judgment by the municipal governing body," the court said. "We do not substitute our judgment for that of the municipal fathers.

While the question might be debatable we do not find the municipal judgment to have been arbitrary or unreasonable," the court further stated. The court also refused to remand the case to the trial court for further findings of fact. The court said although Judge Conklin did not provide a lengthy explanation of his conclusions, he did find that the township was not acting in bad faith. Press State House Bureau TRENTON The Appellate Division of Superior Court has ruled that Matawan Township has the right to condemn a 22-acre industrial site for use as a municipal center. A three-judge panel yesterday upheld a ruling last year by Superior Court Judge Walter Conklin, who refused to dismiss the township condemnation action.

South River Metal Products Co. South River, which purchased the property from Chemicals challenged the condemnation proceedings last year, charging the township with "an abuse of discretion." The court held the township was not required to deposit the $752,000, assessed valuation of the property. Instead, the court said the township acted properly by posting $393,000, the amount at which the property was offered for sale. The tract is divided by Church street, with seven acres on the north and 15 acres on the south. The township intends to use the Parking state police detective sergeant, conducted the investigation after he was told about the incident and became dissatisfied with the investigation made by the police department.

According to Mr. Kinnevy's account, Sgt. DeAngelo allegedly punched Mrs. Beverly Delaney, Manasquan, and broke her nose in a beach-strip tavern. Air.

Kinnevy's report indicates Sgt. DeAngelo said the incident was an accident and the Point Pleasant Hospital report said Mrs. Delaney said she was injured as the result of a fall. One of the persons involv ed in the incident, Robert Kenny II, told Mr. Kinnevy he called his father and the two confronted Sgt.

DeAngelo outside the tavern. A scuffle reportedly occurred and Sgt. DeAngelo 's weapon was taken from him and hidden in the tavern. Police called to the scene later recovered the weapon. Mr.

Kinnevy's report said Sgt. De Angelo told both Mr. Kenny and his father they were under arrest. However, no one was arrested and no one now wants to press charges as a result of the episode. Mr.

Kinnevy said if Sgt. De Angelo had accidently struck the woman and then apologized, he should have arrested both men. Councilmen Edward Mus-grave and John C. Barr said the suspension is an administrative action and the Council has no power to change it. However.

Councilman Frank D. Neri said he thinks more action may be warranted. "From what I read of Mr. Kinnevy's report, I feel the man (Sgt. DeAngelo) should have been more severely disciplined," Mr.

Neri said. "Someone may be holding something back." Sgt. DeAngelo declined to comment on the suspension, when reached yesterday. His lawyer, Barry Goldman, Said they were not happy with the decision and will take further action. Mr.

Goldman declined to say what that action would be. BRICK TOWNSHIP The five-day suspension of police St Joseph DeAnselo on charges stemming from a fight outside a tavern will begin Monday. Township Business Administrator Raymond P. Reis ordered the suspension Thursday after meeting with Sgt. DeAngelo.

The Township Council will meet with Mayor Warren H. Wolf to discuss the possibility of taking further action against the police officer. The fight occurred May 1, and according to available reports, two men scuffled with Sgt. DeAngelo and took his pistol away outside the tavern after a woman inside the tavern received a broken nose. Council President John P.

Kinnevy told the mayor May 29 the Council wanted Sgt. DeAngelo suspended, but he said yesterday he would wait for the meeting Monday before commenting on whether or not he is satisfied with the five-day suspension. Mr. Kinnevy also asked Mayor Wolf to censure Public Safety Director H. Walter Dodwell for submitting what Mr.

Kinnevy called inadequate reports on the incident, and Sgts. Robert Santaniello and Anthony Saerthio for preparing The Council president also asked Mayor Wolf to request an impartial investigation of the entire incident by the Ocean County proseuctor's office. The five-day suspension is the most severe disciplinary action the township can take against an employe without holding a civil service hearing. Mr. Ries, as business administrator, is the official with the power to order the suspensions, but Mayor Wolf said he is personally assuming the responsibility for the decision.

Mr. Ries said Sgt DeAngelo was suspended for conduct unbecoming a police officer, losing his personal weapon and being involved in a fist-fight. Mr. Ries said there would be no other penalties, such as reduction in pay or rank. Mr.

Shift Ruled Li Court's Location ALLENTOWN Superior Court Judge M. Raymond McGowan has ruled that municipal court sessions "cannot be permitted to continue" in a tiny room over the first aid headquarters here. In a letter to local Judge Kenneth Smith Judge McGowan said space In the 17- by 25-foot room is "obviously inadequate" and that a phone on top of the room's file cabinet rings frequently during court sessions. Judge McGowan also said there are no tables for lawyers and that Judge Smith's bench is not elevated. Judge Smith uses a desk normally occupied by the borough clerk, it was noted.

A combined court for the borough and Upper Freehold Township is held every Wednesday. In his letter, Judge McGowan said it was "of the utmost importance" that a new courtroom "be given top priority" by the governing bodies of the two towns. Upper Freehold Mayor Donald Golden suggested this week that the all-purpose room in the Imlaystown Elementary School basement be used as a temporary solution, if the Regional Board of Education agrees. The Borough Council is writing to all groups in town with large meeting rooms, but Borough Clerk Marie Mi-ka said no responses have been received. Woman Out On Bail In Fraud Case ASBURY PARK Pamela Williams, Allenwood, Wall Township, is free in $3,200 bail pending a preliminary hearing Monday on two counts of conspiring to commit fraud.

It was incorrectly reported in Thursday's As-bury Park Press that she had been committed to the Monmouth County Jail in lieu of $500 bail. Based on a police report the story also incorrectly stated that Karen Harris, Grand charged with two counts of forgery, was part of the alleged conspiracy. Arrested in the alleged conspiracy was Karen Gail Mickett, also of Allenwood, who has been charged with five counts of forgery. Miss Mickett also is free in $3,000 bail pending a preliminary hearing Monday. Pair Captures Delegate Seats MAYS LANDING De-lores I.

The vacancy created on the five-member agency by the resignation nearly two years ago of Irving Zisblatt has never been filled. Nicholas B. Kleva, a member since 1967, yesterday announced his retirement in August because of a physical disability. Tony J. Amato, whose first five-year term expires in August, announced yesterday he will not seek reappointment.

This will leave Earl W. Gardner, one of the original members, and Chairman Howard L. Ely, who under the bylaws requiring a quorum of a specific number, will be unable to function. While there has been talk around City Hall about a possible takeover of the authority, and officials of the Greater Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce have expressed similar thoughts, there has thus far been no overture by the city to the authority. In recent months the authority reported continuing declining revenues and warned that if the trend continues, it will have to turn to the city for help in paying off the bondholders.

Mrs. Thelmas Smith, secretary to the authority for about 16 years, yesterday announced her resignation to accept a job at Ft. Monmouth. Mr. Ely said it will be difficult replacing Mrs.

Smith in view of recent news stories about the possible demise of the authority, making it impossible to offer applicants for the job any long-term security. Mr. Ely said the authority may have to ask the city to provide the necessary clerical and bookkeeping help it needs. GETS U.S. GRAXT LONG BRANCH The United Cerebral Palsy unit, 75 Bath has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the Department of Health Education and Welfare.

Case, Workers Walk Out At Home MANALAPAN TOWNSHIP At least 25 workers seeking unionization left their jobs at Tine Brook Nursing home yesterday, prompting charges by the administrator of a "backlash" bv black employes aeainst the new white ownership. "There is definitely a backlash," Abraham Brot charged. "This was instigated by the black workers. Jf this was going to happen, it should have happened months ago." Alex Delaurentis, vice president of Local 1115's Joint Board of Nursing Home and Hospital Workers, termed Mr. Brot's statements "outrageous and a total lie." Mr.

Delaurentis said Mr. Brot called the police and ordered union reDresentatives and nursing home employes out of the home after the darn and for union representation was presented yesterday. The union official said a charge of unfair labor practices was being filed with the national labor relations board in Newark last night apinst the nursing home's management. Mr. Delaurentis said the union represents about 20,000 non-supervisory and non-licensed employes of nursing homes and hospitals in the New York Metropolitan area.

The home, located on Pen-ion road, was formerly known as Carver Nursing Home. It was sold earlier this year by the Rev. Oscar Bick-erstaff, a black minister. Union officials said the walkout was called yesterday to press a demand for union representation of auxiliary workers food employes, aides and orderlies, housekeepers and maintenance personnel. The protest involved auxiliary personnel: food workers, aides and orderlies, housekeepers and maintenance personnel.

Mr. Delaurentis said believed support for the union by the personnel was unanimous. The administrator said Freehold Area Hospital was sending over some of its employes to help supply services at the home. "It's disgusting that they can leave 85 patients cn the floor without any consideration, or even speaking to anybody," Mr. Brot said.

"You're not dealing with machines here." Mr. Brot said he has received no specific demands from the union, other than formal recognition of it as bargaining agent for the employes. He said employes were given a six per cent pay increase "the first month we were here" to an hourly rate of $2.50, and said a five per cent differential for afternoon and night work was begun for the first time. 3Ian Arrested On Drug Count ALLENTOWN Carl Henry Yetman, Church street, awaits a preliminary hearing June 12 on charges of possession of a half-pound of marijuana, Police Chief George F. Basler said yesterday.

Mr. Yetman was arrested at his home yesterday. A search of the house revealed the marijuana, Chief Basler aid. The suspect has been released on his own recognizance. Participating in the investigation were the Chief, Patrolman Vincent Spaniciati and Officer Richard Stoller.

Studds, Both are known as the Interim Fisheries Zone Extension and Management Act of 1973. Ed Longo, captain of the Sharon and Doreen said American commercial fishermen are caught between federal regulations and the lack of them and the economics of their industry. Fish consumption in the U. S. is a 12.5 billion a year industry, and some 80 per cent of the fish consumed is imported, he said.

The federal government regulates the size and type of nets American fishermen can use, and has recently asked them to cut back by half their take of some species. At the same time, large "floating fish factories" from Russia, Japan and other nations, work off our shores, process the catch and send it home. The foreign-caught fish is then imported into the U.S. where it sells for less than American-caught fish, he said1. "We're out there fishing side by side with these huge boats that run us off the fishing grounds, and then they turn around and undersell us!" he said.

Capt. Longo said he has seen a drastic decline in the catch off the New England coast in the past two or three years, and that the decline coincides closely with increased activity by foreign fishing fleets in the area. He explained that methods used by the foreign trawlers, particularly the Russians, not only take enormous numbers of fish, but also scoop up countless newborn finger-lings, thus seriously impairing the reproductive cycles of many fish. "The Russians nets are so small they take up even the spawn (baby fish)," he said. The major New England fishing ground, where many Atlantic species live and spawn is the Georges Bank.

It extends better than 200 miles offshore and stretches from Maine to Cape Cod, Capt. Longo said. Protection of his area would allow such dwindling species as haddock and yellowtail flounder to make a comeback. STAF is trying to drum up support for the legislation by conducting the sail on Washington. The Sharon and Doreen left Kennebunkport Tuesday and stopped at Gloucester, Boston and New Bedford, and Point Judith, R.I., before docking here yesterday.

Local fishing and private boats accompanied the STAF vessel along parts of its route. Following the stop here the Sharon and Doreen steamed to Cape May to dock for the night. It was to proceed to Quantico, today, on the final leg of its journey before sailing up the Potomac River to Washington Monday. Local participation in the sail was limited yesterday by a northeast storm which sprung up Thursday night. The lone boat to greet the Sharon and Doreen as she sailed into Brigantine Inlet was operated by state Sen.

Corrigan, Ocean County medical examiner, said Mrs. Anna Malerenko, Lakewood-New Egypt Jackson Township, died from chest injuries received in an auto accident Thursday. Police said Mrs. Malerenko was the passenger in a car driven by her husband, Alexander, who was admitted to Community Memorial Hospital with head and leg injuries. He is in fair condition.

Mr. Malerenko was traveling south on Rte. 166 when his car collided with another car driven by Richard W. Terry, Princeton, who police said pulled out into Rte. 166 from Old Freehold road.

After the impact, the Malerenko car struck a utility pole. Mrs. Malerenko was pronounced dead at the hospital. Fort Credit Unit To Open Branch FT. MONMOUTH A branch office of the post Credit Union will open at 9 a.m.

Frank Grice, director of marine fisheries for Massa-cusetts, accused the U.S. state Department of applying a "double standard" in the protection of off-shore resources. "They protect other seabed resources like oil and minerals, but they ignore the fisheries," he said. Others in the STAF group echoed his sentiments. "The cold war is over now and that argument about making the Russians mad has been watered down," one commented.

Mr. Grice is among the STAF group sailing from Kennebunkport, to Washington, where they will testify at Senate hearings on a proposed bill which would extend territorial fishing waters from the present 12-mile limit to 200 miles. His remarks came yesterday at a press briefing held here during a stopover by the STAF official boat, the 103-foot 'Sharon and Doreen" out of New Bedford, Mass. The group had scheduled a stop in Brigantine Inlet here en route to Cape May, where the entouroge stayed last night.

Hearing Is Slated On Fishing Limits WEDNESDAY: Champagne Dinner with Prime Rib Special to The Press WASHINGTON The House Appropriations Committee has approved a bill which would provide 450,000 next year to begin construction of the Tocks Is-, land Dam in New Jersey. But opponents of the proj-ect, who fear it would create environmental havoc, have succeeded in winning a tem- porary construction delay.

Rep. Joseph J. Maraziti, said yesterday an amendment to the bill prohibits spending any construc-tion funds until the various government agencies in-; volved resolve their differ- ences. "I am sure that a fair evaluation of the Tocks dam by the federal government will show that Tocks is no longer needed and that less costly alternatives are available without destroying the Delaware River Valley," Mr. Maraziti said.

The project, essentially the construction of a large reser-, voir, ran into a major hurdle this year when Gov. Brendan T. Byrne announced New Jersey may no longer support it Gov. Malcolm Wilson of New York has since announced he has reservations, leaving only Pennsylvania and the federal government still squarely supporting the inter-state project.
