New Jersey Nightly News; A Closer Look: Noyes Museum of Art in South Jersey; Gary Hart in 1983

Many more birds than people. It's the address of the National Wildlife Refuge. A spectacular 20000 from the wildlife of Atlantic City. First. Museum. It's a location seems a little unlikely perhaps does expounder and benefactor. I like to think that I help somebody that are wired to think to think that I don't know what the hell we are but brightened me up because I'm too pretty. But I don't. It came to thank him.

Fred and his late wife Ethel were the creators of the historic town of Smithville South Jersey landmark. After they sold that business and passed away friend kept alive a dream of hers. And four years and four million dollars later the finishing touches are being applied to the Noyes museum. Under the watchful eye of its director Tara. I think I will do a lot of good a. Lot of good things I think. Indicates the vitality of New Jersey artists have been. Hurt. Coming. Home. And there's Conny Joseph of Cape May. Her work is represented by these whimsical

latex and titled winter solstice and summer solstice. That's s o l e ful a of solstice. She cast them from the real thing which she picks up at local docks The Noyes museum will also contain a South Jersey folk art gallery to house among other things. Fred's personal collection of decoys also be a working wood carver shop alone he is a trained artist. Here are a couple of his own works one from his student days. This one just done recently. Fred Noyes real interest is in the Folk Arts and the arts and crafts makes a comfortable one. I think that by showing art by showing the decoys as well as fine arts that interest. In the audience people who would not otherwise go to an art museum might come to see the decoys or to see the guard and then be lured into the

galleries with the contemporary art and their consciousness. His real interest is in the folk guards. Tara finds the arts and crafts makes a comfortable one. I think that by showing. Folk art. By showing that the decoys as well as the fine arts that interest the broader spectrum in the audience are people who would not otherwise go to an art museum might come to see the decoys or to see the folk art and then be lured into the galleries with the contemporary art and several expand. Their consciousness. In. And it now appears because the Supreme Court has refused to hear the good

and the appearance of the Abscam case has been laid to rest. As you know New Jersey I think is kind of Promina rare and that lots of politicians here came to grief over it looking back on it and thinking back on it what do you think about the tactics used by the FBI and the Justice Department. Well I don't I don't like them and I run. A very strong civil liberties background and record believe very strongly and issues of the rights of the individuals. I'm not keen on government agencies going out and trapping people frankly I was one of my early assignments in the Senate was to be a member of the so-called Church Committee which investigated the intelligence. Community in the in the federal government including the FBI and the drug agencies and so on. But that. Committee as you know uncovered scandals in the efforts to assassinate foreign leaders but we answer uncovered a systematic pattern for five 10 or more years. I have there was agencies infiltrating political organizations opening people's mail rather tapping their telephone right tapping them.

Interfering with their telephone communications and doing the sorts of other things that I think is deplorable and I don't think this federal government ought to be doing and should there be some legislative restraints on the FBI or Justice and these kinds of investigations recollection I have to go back and check what the internal investigation conducted by the Congress by the Senate on Abscam did recommend some restraints and some of those I believe have been voluntarily. Accepted by the intelligence investigative arms of government but I think there ought to be and I think it's a responsibility of the president more than anyone else to see this happens. Toxic waste it seems to me that the money in the Superfund was judged in the cleaning up. That's right. You know just tax the toxic waste problem it's time is about to get a free ride here today. First of all you're analysis is correct what we've found out since the Superfund was created in

78 is that there are a lot more of these problems but with the high priority problems and others than we ever thought and that fund which at the time seemed huge 1.6 billion dollars turns out not to be adequate even to clean up the four hundred eighteen high priority sites in this country. The state unfortunately has been burdened with with a disproportionate number of those I think some 67 that is a tribute both of the state's willingness to to address its own problems other states are not. And also because of the base of the chemical industry here over the years. That fund if totally utilized would only clean up some hundred two hundred fifty high priority sites and there are seventeen thousand five hundred toxic dumps in this country. My legislation would do two things it would tax the generation of hazardous substances in the society the money the revenue from the tax would go into the Super Fund expanded by a factor of 10. Raise it to about 12 billion dollars or 15 that would be sufficient to clean up those 17000 sites or those in the state.

Secondly over a short period of time it would be in future land disposal or disposition of toxic materials. So we were incinerated. Reprocess recycle chemically treat. Neutralize. The brand I really wouldn't have this happen with community in America I would be willing to state such things and have it I toxic waste incinerator red. Bits. Well the first wave of the incinerator is a cleaning up device it's like a water treatment facility. It is public health neutral in fact it's a public health benefit so it's not as if the out of the smoke stacks of the incinerator coming more prisons they're coming to cool things out of their history. Second I suspect those communities would a lot rather have that capability cited where the chemical dumps are now and have the chemical down and that's what we're talking about. And finally it's not all going to be incinerated it's some of it's internally created the plants themselves.
