Organization's Sweep Marred by Upper Tie

CBy E.J. DUFFY Onlj|a tied GOP primary for an Upper Township Committee seat stands between the county regular Republican organizatiori and a clean sweep of party contests last week. If a court-ordered recount doesn't break the 894-vote deadlock in favor of incumbent Leonard Migliaccio, however, the organization has the right to decide the issue and will likely tap his rival, George Belts, to replace the 21-year committee veteran. Migliaccio ran as a (Sheriff) Beech Fox Regular Republican in a three-way race with regular Republican Belts and independent Rita Herman Graduated NORTH WILDWOOD - Local resident Rita M. Herman was graduated May 12 from Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia.

She was a C.C.D teacher and a volunteer teacher's aide. Miss Herman is a graduate of Wildwood Catholic High School.

Republican Bruno Tropeano; he finished last with 428 votes. Belts led Migliaccio 883-875 on voting machine totals, but absentee ballots tied the match. Whoever is named winner of the Upper duel stands unopposed in the fall general election; no Democrat is running. The same holds true for Republican primary winners in Stone Harbor, Woodbine and North Wildwood's Second Ward. Barring write write-in candidates, the GOP contenders are shoo-ins this fall.

Woodbine Borough Council President Theodore DeSantis and Woodbine Councilman William Pikolycky lacked GOP primary challengers and face no Democratic opponents in the general election.
