M1 13 Veteran Pier Official Guest On Eve of Trip Friends Honor Crooks, Off Today for First Sight of Brazil Coast By O. R. PILAT This might be labeled waterfront social news. Charles Crooks with his wife and son are sailing today on the Munson liner Southern Cross for his first quarter of century and for his extended vacation in, more than a first glimpse of Brazil, whose coffee, rubber and other products he has handled for 26 years as pier superintendent of the Lloyd Brasiliero Steamship Company in South Brooklyn.

The veteran pier superintendent, who lives at Sedgwick Place, has a legion friends. Last night a number of them, on one pretext tion another, Mrs. and Crooks, with the induced a him to come to the Bay Ridge house of the Crescent Athletic Club. Once there, they kidnaped him, practically by force, and proceeded to hold a stag dinner in his honor in a special dining room upstairs. Tugboat Moguls There It was an unusual gathering.

The Moran brothers and Carroll brothers, who do more than their respective shares of the harbor towboat business, were there. Morris Shea, who has raised the waterfront junk business to the dignity of a profession, was on hand. John Green, who has a stevedoring company, and W. A. Brodie and William T.

Mitchell, who are trucking men, sat near each other. In one corner was a group of fire and police officials centering about George Busby, who caught the Diamond brothers and was one of Brooklyn's detectives two decades ago. He is now captain of police at Bush Terminal. Battalion Chiefs Slowey and Foley were sitting opposite Captain Detectives John Ryan and Lieut. Edward Dwyer.

Near this group were tugboat captains, James Cummings and Mat Nelson, talking to George Tilt, the coffee man, and Capt. J. Johnson, who works for General Motors. Guest of Government Commissioner of Public Works William Heffernan chatted with Renato De Azevedo, Brazilian steamship man, who aided in securIng the invitation from the Brazilian Government whereby Mr. Crooks will 13 the official guest of that country.

The veteran pier superintendent was one of the reception committee for President Prestes on the latter's recent visit to this country, he goes to Brazil with the hichest personal standing. From a casual glance it seemed as if all the big steamship men along the Brooklyn waterfront were present. There were Tom Lilly, of Norton Lilly, and his pier superintendent, Captain Jarvis; Captain McKegg of the Furness Withy Line; George Watson of the American Hawaiian Line, and any number of others. From Bush Terminal, whose piers 5 and 7 the Lloyd Brasilero Line has used in the past 26 years, there were Col. P.

H. Gerhardt, who acted as toastmaster; J. A. Lehman (Gus to his friends), assistant general superintendent; W. H.

Cochrane, T. C. Costello, G. M. Smith and more besides.

Back in Two Months Even before such a gathering of friends, Charles Crooks was not at ease. After speeches by William Edgar, who emphasized that Crooks' good morning greeting was the same when Edgar was a mule driver on the pier as now, when he is general superintendent of Bush Terminal; and by Eugene Carroll, the towboat man; Crooks just had to say something. His speech, consisting of about three sentences, had about a dozen "thank you's" in it. There were tears in his eyes and a catch in his voice, but you would think Daniel Webster had just finished an oration from the noise when he sat down. After more speeches, in which the veteran pier superintendent was lauded for his good fellowship and honesty, presentation was made by Colonel Gerhardt of a traveling bag for Mr.

Crooks, a clock for Mrs. Crooks, and a pair of binoculars for thein son. After his two months trip to Brazil, Crooks expects to be right back on the job at pier 7, Bush Terminal, foot of 40th St. LEGION PLANS CARNIVAL A benefit carnival for the welfare fund of the Edward A.

Belasco 'Cracks Whip' and Eats Tabooed Food on 76th Birthday Atlantic City, N. July 25 David Belasco celebrated today an event which happened in San Francisco 76 6 years ago and called this the blithest birthday he's ever had. It marked for him the end of a theatrical season -his 50th odd--in which his only production, a boisterous little farce called "It's a Wise Child," made more money for him than any play he ever has produced. One hundred and fifty-two candles, alight on two cakes, and flowers and telegrams and cables were tokens that his friends remembered the day, But "The Governor," his white hair awry and both eyes fixed on Huston's Post Slated for Fess As Fight Ends G. 0.

P. Chairman Informs President He Will Resign Aug. 7 Washington, July 25 -The stormy service of Claudius Huston as chairman of the Republican National Committee Is at an end. Mr. Huston brought a sudden close to the controversy over his leadership in late last night when he told President Hoover that he would call the Executive Committee of the National Committee on Aug.

7 and submit his resignation. The President approved. Senator Fess of Ohio is the choice of the Republican high command to succeed Huston and his election by the Executive Committee next month is confidently predicted. Robert Lucas, of Kentucky, who became Commissioner of Internal Revenue a few months ago, is slated to take over the active campaign work for the approaching Congressional elections as executive assistant to Fess. Huston Sees President The new organization has the approval of President Hoover and it is his intention that it should get to work early next month.

Huston's announcement of retirement came suddenly last night after a hectic round of conferences. Coming to the capital late in the evening, Huston went into conference with James Francis Burke, counsel of the National Committee. The White House visit was arranged immediately, Burke made the following announcement on behalf of Huston at the conclusion of the conference: "I have just had a satisfactory conference with the President and we are in entire accord on our program. The President has approved my decision to call a meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Committee on Aug. 7 at which time I intend to submit my resignation as chairman of the Republican National Committee." Met Huston in New York The party row over Huston had quieted when word was passed around that Huston intended to resign after Congress adjourned.

But when Congress adjourned and no word was forthcoming from Huston the Republican chieftains got busy. They decided upon a showdown. met with Huston who said he would announce his plans after the special session of the Senate adjourned. The special session ended on Monday and Huston was both silent and missing. Hurried conferences ensued.

Mr. Burke and Joseph R. Nutt, of Cleveland, the committee treasurer, called Wednesday at the White House. They hastened to New York that night and saw Huston. Late yesterday Huston came back to the city.

Democrats Map Drive to Gain House Control Efforts Centered on Getting Back Lost Seats to Give 218 Majority been in since 1910." Sees Control Certain Washington, July 25 -Democratic chieftains are laying plans for an intensive Congressional campaign to begin late in August by which they hope to obtain enough seats in the House to give them control in the Seventy-second Congress. Formulated at secret conferences between the party leaders here and in New York, the plans entail the raising of funds for drives in 72 districts in border and Northern States the Democrats hope to win. Hope to Gain 30 Seats The money to be raised is to be used exclusively for the Congressional campaign. None of is to be applied to the $500,000 deficit of the Democratic National Committee. Not only do the Democratic leaders expect to recapture the 30 seats lost in the 1928 elections, which are normally Democratic, but they hope to take over nearly all of the 54 seats that have gone Democratic in off -year Congressional elections during the past With 23 additional seats normally decadejo Democratic, they would have a bare majority of 218.

Byrns to Direct Fight Representative Byrns of Tenneseee, chairman of the Democratic Congressional campaign committee, is to return to Washington late in August and direct the campaign until the November elections. He has been assured by Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, and John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, of close cooperation, both in the campaign and in the raising of funds. Byrns spent several days quietly in Washington with the other chieftains arranging the program. Before departing early today for his home Nashville he said the party was in the "best shape for a Congressional fight that we have With the present outlook, he said, the Democrats undoubtedly would control the House in the new Congress.

The seats the Democrats expect to regain are one each in New Jersey, New York, Maryland, West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, New Mexico and Pennsylvania; two each in North Carolina, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Ohio; three in Virginia, five in Kentucky and six in Missouri. In addition they hope to take other seats in those States and in Massachusetts, Kansas, Minnesota, the Dakota: and in Montana. At present the Democrats have 164 seats, with one vacancy from Rhode normally Democratic. With 23 additional seats they would have 218, which is a bare majority in the House of 435 members. G.

Stamp Nudes Create Furor Among Collectors; Fear Ban The question of what is art and what is nudity has come up again with a new twist. The situation has incidentally brought up a new problem in philatelics, according to Herman Toaspern, stamp dealer, collector and prize winner.

It's all because of the new Spanish stamps which, Mr. Toaspern writes from his office at 520 5th Manhattan, "have created quite a furor in stamp-collecting circles." The furor arises from the circumstance that Spain has decided to mix high art with its newest stamps. There is, for example, lea a large onepeseta stamp which carries a reproduction of Goya's "La Maja Desnuda," a portrait of the Duchess of Alba, done in the latter part of the Eighteenth Century and done in the nude. stamps have been in the Letters with the artistic. Spanish United States, and "we hear from a Boston stamp dealer that they have been mutilated in city in passing through the mails."

1776, under cover of several warships. Home of Denyse Family That Stood at Fort Hamilton Suffered From Shells Fired From Warships Covering English Move in 1776 By MAURICE E. McLOUGHLIN at Fort Hamilton there the road turns away from old-fashioned cannon. about where the cannon of the Denyse family. was a ferry at the foot of the grassy slope that led down to the bay, and it was known as Denyse's Ferry.

The picture gives general idea of how the spot looked during the Revolutionary War. On Aug. 22, 1776, hundreds of Hessian and British soldiers were landed on the shore at this point, under cover of the guns of several British warships. Near the place where the soldiers landed were the houses of Denis Denyse, Adrian Bennet and Simon Cortelyou. The Denyse and Bennet houses suffered more or less from the shells fired from the ships, but for some reason the Cortelyou house was not made a target by the British gunners.

The Common Ancestor The common ancestor of the Denyse family was Denyse Theunise. Another member was Denyse the Narrows," as described by Nergen in "Early Settlers of Kings County." He was a large landholder and a man of so much consequence in New Utrecht that he was chosen as a delegate to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia in May, 1775. During the War of 1812, William Denyse was a captain of the New Utrecht company of the 64th Regiment, which was encamped in front of Fort Greene, about where Hudson Ave. The family name again shone forth in 1817, when Isaac Denyse became a member of the first hook and ladder company organized in Brooklyn.

Cairo Reports Wafdist Plot To Oust Fuad All Egypt Tense as Rumor of Revolution Grows in Strength HICKOK 53 Eagle Rue Bureau, Cambon, the home of Gothic architecstructure is being erected by American Church of Paris on the from the French Foreign Office. French church architects, on the other hand, have frankly abandoned the Gothic style in new churches for the most "modern" applications of reinforced concrete. Comment among French architecte is rather critical of the American project. "Not Gothic With Steel" "The Americans are building Gothic church with a steel frame, which is not Gothic," they say.

With their tight French logic they reason that if the early church architects had had steel and concrete to work with they would never have built Gothic churches at all. Gothic style, they argue, was merely a means to get height and light with the only building material they had at hand. A modern church architect still wants height and light, but with new materials he should produce it in a new way in harmony with the age of steel and cement. American Gothic, exterior details of Gothic decoration laid on over a steel frame, is no more Gothic architecture than a Gothic cathedral painted on canvas at the Opera, or at Hollywood, to the French point of view. Progressive vs, Constructive The conservative Church of Rome is accepting -modern edifices which may seem to Americans as strangely unchurchly.

The progressive Protestant American Church is sticking to the style that the Roman Church created and has abandoned. At Elizabethsville is a new concrete church in which slim, reinforced columns hold up the roof while the walls, lacy, concrete arabesques filled in with stained glass, hang from the eaves instead of supporting them. The result is that a whole wall is a stained glass window. "A result," explains the French architect, "which the architects of the true Gothic period tried to get, but could not because they had only stone. "We are trying to do what they would have done had they had our facilities," they say.

Quantity Production At Villemomble, another suburb of Paris, the tall. new bell tower is crowned with massive sculptured figures of the saints, carved in the concrete before it dried. In the new church of St. Christophe in Paris the architect applied "methods of fabrication en serie (quantity production), comparable to those employed in the automobile industry." The ultra trend in new European churches is pushed its extreme in a building used at present to house an art exhibition at the Antwerp International Exposition. This structure, which is permanent and is to be used as a church from the time the exposition ends, is from the exterior irresistibly reminiscent of a typical Brooklyn "armory," though inside it is Byzan- tine in character.

The American Church in Paris, though it has a steel frame and includes much concrete, will show no trace of either when finished. It will be English Gothic. A London, July 25 (P)-The London correspondent of the Daily Express says that Egypt is bordering on revolution and that the Wafdists (Nationalists) will hold a session of Parliament outside the Parliamentary Building in Cairo tomorrow, As a result, the correspondent adds, heavy forces of troops have been concentrated in the capital and there is grave danger of a serious clash. Such sessions have been prohibited by King Faud since Premier Ismail Sidky Pasha recently formed a new cabinet. Followers of Nahas Pasha, former Premier, planned Monday to hold a forcible session inside the Parliament Building but called it off because of the government's show of force.

Adherents of the Wafdist party led riots for the next two days in Cairo, Port Said and Suez. The correspondent writes that al Egypt is reports frequent that the Wafdists are planning te force King Faud's abdication and establish either a republic or a new dynasty. Cairo is filled with troops and in Alexandria, where large British warship lies the bay, its guns trained upon the city, armed British and Egyptian police patrol the city and piers. Everywhere, he writes, the citizens are nervous, foreign business is paralyzed and there is some doubt, about the loyalty of the army. Wafdist propaganda has been spread widely among the troops.

Though it is not believed that both thefts were the hand of a single man, in each case the thief was dark, clean-shaven and exceedingly polite, and though he relieved women of their valuables he made no search for further plunder. The first robbery Interrupted an of Mrs. George Sparge at 72-11 afternoon bridge game at the home, sel Forest Hills. Mrs.

Sparge was on the verge of making a grand slam when the stranger came in with a facility for taking diamond tricks. The doorbell rang and Mrs. Sparge opened it to find an apparent meter inspector. Instead of going downstairs the visitor walked boldly into the living room, to the amazement of Mrs. Arthur Hodgkiss, Mrs.

Norma Metcalf and Mrs. Robert Wallace, all from Valley Stream, who were waiting for the game to continue. "Kindly stand up and line up against the wall," said the man with faultless enunciation, showing a revolver at the same time. "Now just throw your jewelry and your pocketbooks into that chair." When Mrs. Sparge shed a tear or two at the thought of losing her wedding ring, the kind-hearted visitor restored it, and he also gave back a watch Mrs.

Hodgkiss. He kept about $1,000 worth of jewelry and left, however, after locking the ladies in the bathroom. The other robbery occurred in the evening at the home of Mrs. Edith Delaney of 213 Kilburn Garden City. The alleged meter inspector got only $2.60 in this case before he was frightened away by the cries of a maid.

By JO RANSON Prize fight devotees will no doubt recall the name of Jack Thompson, Negro heavyweight, who fought 20 years ago in the prize ring. Today Thompson is pushing one of those wheel chairs on the Coney Island boardwalk, and any one who wishes to spot him on the Island will have no difficulty in doing so. He stands like a giant with huge shoulders and great big hands peering over the multitudes. Pushing the boardwalk chairs is great sport, according to the man who fought Harry Wills, Sam Langford, Battling Jim Johnson, Jeff Clark and toured with Jack Dempsey as a sparring partner.

Thompson started to fight back in 1909 and continued to battle until 1921 when he quit the game and decided to try other professions. Now he wishes he were back in the ring. Parading up and down the boardwalk with chairs gives the former fighter a chance to recuperate his strength. "I walk about 30 miles a day," he says, "from Sea Gate to Brighton Beach, and my legs feel swell. It's darn fine training, let me you." "When I first came down he points out, "my legs were awfully weak, Took at them now.
