Haines asserted. "We put six officers on last year and it cost the taxpayers $90,000. Right now we don't have the money to put more on." phy said, "The problems have been ignored. Enough is enough.

We can't wait another year to settle these things." Policemen are unhappy for two reasons. Murphy said. First, manpower in the 34- gotiate its contract with the township to correct what it calls a manpower shortage and inadequate disability compensation. The three-year contract expires Dec. 31, Spring Lake Bar Faces Charge Correction courts," Gerand said.

"There is no place to put them." The number of arrests dropped In 1977 from 1976. Two years ago some 320 persons were arrested in connection with crimes here. Last year 245 arrests were made. Myles said of the 320 arrests, 183 convictions resulted. Last year 122 convictions resulted.

The statistics are compiled monthly for submission to the state as part of the Uniform Crime Report The police do not patrol any portions of the borough on foot as several neighboring municipalities do. However, Gerand said last year the number of patrol cars for the police department was increased from two to three. Two unmarked cars are also used by the police. Gerand said the increased patrol is evi the growing population. Second, men injured on the job collect half pay, while other towns give disabled officers full pay.

Murphy said he met with the Township Committee two weeks ago to discuss the problems, "but they didn't give us an answer." However, Committeewoman Mary Jane Wiley said, "We had only three members available and we haven't had a chance to discuss this in detail." Committeeman William Haines, who is police commissioner, said he believed the PBA request was premature. "We are so close to contract negotiations that this is wrong timing for them," Haines salary fcr disability, but it should be part of the new contract." Murphy said police in 41 area towns receive full salary when they are disabled. "For his effort to serve, (an injured policeman here) collects mounting bills, past due notices and threats from collection agencies." Regarding manpower, Murphy said Haz-let's ratio of 1.3 policemen for each 1,000 inhabitants fell far short of the 2.1 average in Monmouth County and 2.3 in Ocean County. "We had 32 on the force in 1973 and then lost five men who weren't replaced until last year (when six new officers were hired)," Murphy said. breaks into homes, schools and offices.

He said they are becoming more common in Bel-mar and Avon. He said the high rate of crime in Asbury Park has had a direct effect on crime here because the two towns are so close. "I am sick of hearing about other com-munties," Mrs. Springer retorted. "I'm Interested in what is going on here." Last week police released information about a break-in and theft at the borough grammar school on Brinley Avenue which occurred several weeks before.

The information was given to the Asbury Park Press only after arrests had been made and items taken in the break recovered. Crimes in three major categories robbery, breaking and entering, assault and larceny increased last year over 1976, ac police vehicles last year. The 20-man police department is divided Into four platoons of a sergeant and three patrolmen, with a platoon assigned to each work shift. Correction OCEAN TOWNSHIP It was incorrectly reported in yesterday's Asbury Park Press that George Schueler had publicly questioned whether Norbert Belfer, chairman of the township's Planning Board, would be acting in conflict if he were to become a limited partner In a subdivision previously approved by the board. Schueler, a resident and businessman, made no such statement.

per an investigation. Myles said often the police do not have all the facts about a crime until some weeks later, such as what was taken and where the home owner was at the time of the break. Gerand's comments came at yesterday's Board of Commissioner's meeting in response to questions from two residents of whether the commissioners and police were trying to suppress criminal information. "Are you sure it is wise to suppress information," asked Marjorie Springer, 221 Lake Terrace. She pointed to a "rash'' of recent burglaries throughout the borough.

"Other communities have solved crimes by notifying the community," Mrs. Springer said. Gerand pointed out that Bradley Beach is not alone in the rise of crimes involving BRADLEY BEACH The number of crimes committed in the borough increased last year over 1976, but Mayor D. Philip Ger-and contends the same thing is happening in other communities. Break-ins, the most frequent kind of crime in residential areas, rose some 17 percent.

Larcenies were up 24 percent. The mayor, who is also police commissioner, said he is not alarmed by the rise in crime, although several residents here in recent months have questioned borough officials about the number of break-ins they hear about. Gerand said release of any criminal information from the police department is a "discretionary thing." The policy of Police Chief Eugene Myles and the mayor is not to release information on a case if it will ham nearly 50 per cent for police services and they have increased manpower by only one man," he added. Mrs. Wiley said, "We probably could use more policemen, but we really don't have the money in the budget." Haines, however, does not believe the department is short-staffed.

"If they limited some of their sick time, we wouldn't need extra help," he said. "Their sick time is accumulated and every week two or three men are sick." He said four policemen who were dispatcher have been replaced by civilians and freed for patrol duty. porter yesterday. There were 205 break-ins last year, up 36 from the previous year. Larcenies increased by 121 to 503 Incidents.

There were eight robberies last year as opposed to six the previous year. Both Gerand and Myles attributed the rise in crimes to an increase number of Juveniles committing the crimes. Both men blamed parents of youths for their participation in crime. Myles said the courts also are to blame because the "kids have no fear of the courts at all." But Gerand suggested the county should do something to provide institutions for the juveniles involved in crime. "I am not going to blame the juvenile SPRING LAKE The state Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control has charged Keewest, owner of Jimmy Weston's, 500 Morris with violating a state liquor law.

The purpose of the Frank Ficarra Fellowship and Research Fund, supported by corporate and personal solicitation, is to provide fellowships and grants to scientists working on Cooley's anemia research.

The difficulty- in Cooley's anemia is that patient can not produce good hemoglobin and therefore is dependent on transfusions. The frequent transfusions cause a large accumulation of iron in the body which lodges in the internal tissues and eventually becomes toxic, causing enlargement of the spleen, brittle bones, retarded growth and development, bone distortion and a bronze discoloration of the skin. The average patient lives 18 years, although some die as early as 12 and others live into their twenties. Mfc. Rosen, at Cooley's Anemia Foundation, 420 Lexington New York, has more information.
