COP Leader Finds Chief
Executives NJ Message
Failed To Include Con-
crete State Proposals,
Blue Prints Lacking.

Clair ]. Killoran, chairman Of the
Republican State Committee, sait
last Friday that Governor CarvePs
message 20 the 18th General AS

This lack of program" said
Mr.. killoran, "is evident through

The COP state leader also found
that Governor Carvel had neglect
