He said it's against the policy of state police to comment on any cases that may be under investigation. Both Marim and Raffeny the pracLce has apparently been going on for some tme but thai "everybody's scared to death to talk about it."

"So I toid my men to break it (discussions) off two months ago." Raffertv said the informer called on the police headquarters telephone line which is automatically taped with a "beep" signal to ask why she was cut off from Camden and Pennsauken policemen. After pressing her for details, Rafferty said, she eventually admitted she was instructed to "set you up," but claimed she didn't know why. Rafferty said that, as he understands the situation, she posed as an informer who promised to supply information about policemen involved in drugs but instead taped conversations of the policemen and detectives with whom she was working.

Rafferty said that "a cloud of suspicion- hangs over those and other indictments, and mentioned the charges of perjury and misconduct against Camden Police Lt.

Vincent Buondonno, who was found innocent by a Mercer County jurv last November. In the trial, Buondonno testified that state police officials had set him up for the charges and had "conspired against me." Whole Matter Rafferty explained he decided to go to Hyland, who was appointed attorney general by Gov. Brendan Byrne in December, to see if he could look into the "I'm doing it because the man enjoys one of the finest reputations in the legal profession and law enforcement," he said. "Something stinks in Camden County and it's working to the detriment of dedicated policemen." He added he would make himself available to Hyland, whom he said he has never met, "at his pleasure, and that includes going to a grand jury with any information I might have." 25 Years "I have 25 years in law enforcement and I've never heard of this kind of stuff before. I've heard of cops getting set up by racketeers before, but never by state officials.

I think it's made me paranoid. I have to document everything I do to defend myself against everything." He added that some of the Camden City detectives mentioned by the informer as "no good" had worked with Pennsauken police on a drug case last summer in which more than $600,000 in narcotics was netted in a raid in Philadelphia. "They're good cops," he said. State Police According to Gordon Hector, a spokesman for the state police, the agency's organized crime task force has been involved in investigating political and police corruption in the past. He said further comment would have to come from task force officials.

"This is no condemnation of the state police," Rafferty added. "I've worked with them as a federal agent and basically I hold them in high respect.

Subsidy payment figures ob tained by UPI cover the 1972-73 fiscal year beginning July 1, 1972, but actually apply only to the period ending in September because the Agriculture Department canceled the export subsidy program in that month.

Post Photo bv Bob Bortosx Coal Strike Heath Asks Union for Peace Talk LONDON (LTD Prime Minister Edward Heath, calling the nationwide coal strike an industrial "war" Britain, today appealed to union leaders for peace talks to end the crippling dispute. Despite the appeal, a spokesman for the 269,000 miners said the talks could begin only if the government puis more money on the bargaining table. The miners walked off the job Saturday midnight, escalating their 13-week slowdown into an indefinite national strike.

The miners are demanding a 30-36 per cent pay boost. The ttate-run National Coal Board offered 16.5 per cent maximum allowed under government anti-inflation guidelines. The strike, coupled with Arab c9 embargo against the West, has plunged Britain into a trfree-day work week in what Heath has called the nation's Worst economic crisis since World War II. following Heath's failure to off the strike, the prime mjnister ordered a general election Feb. 28 to seek a new mandate for his Conservative government.

JXiring a campaign speech in Cardiff, the capital of Wale: and mining center. Heath issued his appeal for a meeting; with union leaders. road to peace is open. If ymr (the miners) have the courage to admit it, your war is over, the prime minister said "Every day the strike continues isSdoing serious damage to your fellow workers and it is risking tfe; future of your own industry." 'Heath called on Labor party feeder Harold Wilson and Liberal party leader Jeremy Thorpe to join him in the; appeal. Thorpe accepted at; once and Wilson said he will reiy later today.

ilineworkers union general secretary Lawrence Daly commented, "We have always been ready for talks, but only if they are meaningful and only if the government puts more money on- the table." tlsewhere on the fourth day of- the strike, union leaders agreed to put their case for more money to the government's anti-inflation Pay Board next week and allowed management staff members into pits for safety precautions. 'Management had warned that orfe-third of the mines could be dtroyed by fire or flooding if s-ajety inspectors were not allowed into the pits.

According to Marini who said his information came from Camden police who were afraid to speak out publicly, there is an entire unit of state police involved throughout the state. "It started out as an organized crime unit," he said.

"Then they find it was kind of difficult to pin anything on organized crime and in order to justify their jobs they concentrate on public officials and go out and get flimsy or meaningless indictments." Easiest Things "Indictments are the easiest things in the world to get, and for a public official, once you're indicted the damage is done," Marini added. "And a lot of them never result in convictions." Rafferty said he didn't know why he was targeted or how the informer hoped to implicate him. He speculated it may be because he reopened the investigations last year into the 1968 death of U.S. Treasury agent James White of Willing-boro and the 1969 death of Dominic Terenzi Jr. Foul Play White's death was officially ruled suicide and Terenzi was said to have died from pneumonia, but Rafferty claimed to have gathered information that led him to believe the deaths could be the result of foul play.

The investigations have not been completed. The director added, however, that he could "only guess why anyone would want me out of the way." He said there were several other things he was asking Hyland to look into including the indictment, now withdrawn, of Pennsauken Det. George Morris, for alleged misconduct, and the two-year-old misconduct indictment of Acting Chief Nicholas Pettite. Petite was indicted on information supplied by state police undercover agents, but has never been brought to The woman called police headquarters last week, Rafferty said, after Camden and Pennsauken police officials became suspicious of her offers to act as an undercover informant to expose policemen who, she said, were involved in drug traffic.

Mc-Gucken yesterday forbade a Roman Catholic priest from preaching in the pulpit because he is a candidate for the state assembly. The bishop said he fears other candidates might demand equal time. The Rev. Eugene J. Boyle announced his candidacy last week despite the prelate denying him permission to seek the Democratic nomination for the 16th District.

Archbishop McGucken said he felt polictics in the pulpit was divisive and there were enough qualified laymen to work in the political field. "What we do lack are enough men in the priestly office to give the moral leadership demanded by the times and which is above partisan politics," he said. Despite the preaching ban, he said Boyle, 52, would "still enjoy all the other faculties granted him as a priest in good standing such as celebrating Mass and hearing confessions." Father Boyle countered that the archbishop "first tried to prevent me from running" and "now he's trying to cripple imy campaign." The archbishop said: "Were this candidate to expand his preaching faculties in the pulpit to politics, then logic would suggest other can should have the should have the same privilege." The priest is a longtime ally of Cesar Chavez, the United Farm Workers Union leader, and once permitted the Black Panther Party to use church facilities for their "breakfast-for-children" program. If elected, Boyle would be the first priest in the legislature. Dollar Down By a Fraction LONDON (UPI) The U.S.

dollar lost a fraction of its value against most major currencies today. Gold prices opened unchanged in London and lower in Zurich. In Tokyo, the dollar slipped to 291 yen in interbank trading to close at its lowest point since the Japanese floated their currency Jan. 7. It closed at 292.20 yen yesterday.

Gold traded in both London and Zurich at $144 an ounce. Lr What's The Weather? "Never get gas immediately after the station's tanks have been filled." He recommends a wait of 15 minutes to a half hour, after which any water should have settled to the bottom of the tank. But Jerry Ferrara, president of the N.J. Gasoline Retailers Association, reports that gas station operators routinely check the tanks for condensation. "If there's any water in the tanks, it's immediately pumped out," he says.

However, he acknowledges that if the tanks aren't checked some of the water could wind up in an automobile tank. Mrs. Berman said the possibility of condensation has increased now that gas stations are emptying and refilling their tanks more frequently during the fuel shortage. State Consumer Affairs Director Millicent II. Fenwick yesterday said she's received "hundreds and hundreds of" similiar complaints statewide.

"But the interesting thing is," she said, "very rarely do we find watered gasoline. I'm mystified." Mrs. Berman and Frances-coni, whose weights and measures unit checks out the gasoline complaints, report they have yet to find water in gasoline. "The intake pipes of the underground tanks go down to four inches above the bottom of the tank," Mrs. Fenwick says, "so if you pour in a big delivery it may stir that (any water below the four-inch level) up that's the only explanation we can find." Yesterday spokesman for Exxon, Sunoco, and Arco said that when deliveries are made to to the stations the dealers check the tanks.

But on a day-to-day basis, the spokesman for the gasoline companies said, it's up to the gas station operators to check the tanks. nn Hi UiZ22ZB am Service and Free Btochun vi Q.Rsnn Open all day 18 Washington's Birthday www omy 24 Hour, in Gvmntown 4 in tiniuiii Camden County Consumer Affairs Director Mrs. Barbara Berman says she doesn't think any gas stations in the county are deliberately selling adulterated fuel. However, she does think some watered gasoline is being pumped in this area. Her office, she says, has received about a half dozen complaints about watered gasoline during the last few weeks.

And it's her opinion that the complaints stem from gas pumped out of freshly-filled, underground tanks. The gasoline sloshes up water condensation at the bottom of the underground tanks, she says, and some of the water gets mixed with the gasoline that's pumped into the cars.
