Strip Act Barred in Boro Court; No Burlesque House, Says Judge Lied on Stand In Past Trials, Says Beitcher Racket Witness Admits Minimis but Swears He Is Truthful Now Louis Beitcher, the State's No. 1 witness in the restaurant shakedown trial, was subjected to a blistering attack by defense counsel today as he resumed the stand before Supreme Court Justice Philip J. McCook in Manhattan. Beitcher, ex-convict and confessed collector for the Dutch Schultz mob, was pounded hard on the credibility of the story he told yesterday, in which he attempted to tie up seven of the defendants with two of the slain Schultz's head men in the racket, Sam Krantz, a fugitive, and the rubbed-out Jules Martin.

Joseph Sterling, counsel for Phil cannot put on a strip-tease act In Chamber Demands Reduction in Tax Penalty for Realty Repeal of Water Rate Rise Also Sought by Delegate of Boro Organization The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce Joined with representatives of other taxpayers' organizations of the city In a demand for "direct action" to force the city administration to reduce at once the emergency 10 percent penalty on real estate and to repeal the emergency 50 percent increase in water rates at a meeting in the Hotel Commodore, Manhattan, last night. Henry R. Dalrymple represented the local group. It was voted to stage a monster mass meeting early in March and to attempt to obtain at least 25,000 signatures to petitions to be presented to the administration. These actions were determined because of the action of the city in restoring pay cuts to the pre-depression figures.

Indorse Home Rule Bill The Rapp municipal home rule bill, now before the Legislature, which would give all municipalities the right to fix salaries and wages of all employes except teachers, was indorsed. The Citizens Budget Commission called the meeting, which was attended by 300 persons. Harold Riegelman, counsel for the commission, criticized the Legislature for its speedy passage of the pay restoration bills. He said the 140,000 city employes, strongly organized, were aligned against the city's unorganized taxpayers and therefore unrecognized by administration and State officials. Mr.

Riegelman added that in four Eagle Staff Photo Led by Miss Claire Rex, business manager of the Association of Hospital and Medical Professionals, an A.

Admits False Testimony Sterling specifically referred to his petty larceny convictions In 1912 and 1914, and his disorderly conduct conviction in 1931 for operating a disorderly house In Easton, Pa. Booming his questions at the witness, the defense attorney asked him why he did not tell the truth when nabbed on those charges. "Well, I was trying to get out," Beitcher said.

"You don't hesitate to testify in an effort to get out, do you?" Sterling shot at him. "Yes, I hesitated," the witness replied. "Did you hesitate this time?" Sterling pressed, referring to his testimony yesterday. "No." "What do you mean?" Told Truth This Time "I did not hesitate. I told the truth this time." "Why did you decide to tell the truth this time?" "I wanted to go straight." "You expect to get some consid eration as a result of the story you v.

Political Battle Continued from rage 1 and was in a position to relay his proposals. Levy came pwith a proposal of his own. He suggested that ambulance drivers be Included in the eight-hour-day schedule. They now work 84 hours a week. Borough President Ingersoll of Brooklyn came to the defense of the Mayor's plan to amend the bill.

He said: "The Mayor's suggestion of the 48-hour week would give the Department of Hospitals the necessary time to make the adjustments possible." Miss Claire Rex, business manager of the Association of Hospital and Medical Professionals, an A. F. of L. affiliate, and Miss Margaret Schau. also representing the nurses, told the board members that the Mayor at previous meetings had consented to the eight-hour continuous day.

Brunner Recalls Survey Aldermanic President Bruner commented that the Mayor was merely one of a committee selected to investigate the situation. "Don't forget, Miss Rex. that Controller Frank Taylor and myself were also on that committee to in vestigate the proposition and make our reports to the Municipal Assembly," Brunner said. Miss Rex Indicated that the continuous eight-hour-day would require the services of 500 additional nurses in the hospital system. She asked for 250 more than that number to improve the efficiency and service of the proposed number to be added.

She estimated that the 750 additions to the nursing staffs would cost the city about $900,000 a year. At today's hearing were the five borough presidents, Controller Taylor and G. L. Molloy, legal aide to the Mayor. Following debate on the bill the members went into executive session.

He doesn't go in for perfume, but doesn't mind other men do, as long as it is a masuline odor. "Oh, something woodsey," he explained pontifially to the guileless inquirer, who didn't know" about masuline perfumes.

I should think Raps Threat Of Bloodshed' Hoffman's Ban on Sit- Domii Called 'Brazen Promise' of Violence Trenton, Jf. Feb.

15 Labor Organizations directed a sharp counterattack at Gov. Harold G. Hoffman today for his expressed determination to protect property from "sit-down" strikes or other tactics he called unlawful to promote industrial unionization. "It is a brazen promise of bloodshed," said the North Jersey Council for Industrial Organization. "What agency of the State Government will carry out the threat of bloodshed?" the committee for labor's rights In New Jersey asked.

Governor Hoffman's statement was inspired by the North Jersey Council for Industrial Organization's projected drive to gain supporters for the John L. Lewis Industrial Union Group. He criticLsd the Michigan automobile "sit-down" strikes, warned that "such conduct will not be tolerated or permitted by the people of this state," and asserted "the avoidance of the possibility of bloodshed Is, of course, desirable but not at the expense of surrender to, or compromise with, or toleration of those guilty of such criminal acts." Vincent J. lurphy, secretary-treasurer of the New Jersey Stat Federation of Labor, speaking for himself and not to the federation, called the Governor's statement "deplorable, and said: "We in New Jersey have always struggled to organize workers, and we a not going to Icj ourselves be divided by an Issue of this kind." The reply to Governor Hoffman from the North Jersey Council for Industrial Organization declared that: "Governor Hoffman, standing guard over New Jersey's reputation as a haven for runaway sweatshops from New York and Pennsylvania, has not merely challenged our or-gpnization. He has sought to threaten us and all labor." Pontiff Again Walks AgainstDoctor'sWish Vatican City, Feb.

LOESER'S Child Bride Wed 111 Ancient 7-Day Ceremony of Cult Men and Women Pray and Chant Afler Girl's Tresses Are Cut Short The talk In Williamsburg today was of the child bride, Esther Dershowitz, 15, of 173 Hewes a student at Girls Commercial High School. On Tuesday last, the talk revealed, she and Jacob Schorr of 163 Hewes who is 20 and a former rabbinical student, took out a marriage license in Greensboro, N. and were married in High Point, a few mile3 away.

Then back to the Bronx and Brooklyn they came and an elaborate ceremony followed which ended only today. Esther and Jacob, returning from North Carolina, went first to the home of a Rabbi Levine at 1302 Washington the Bronx. There the girl's hair was cut short and her head covered with a shawl. Nightly uicicuiier, ior a perioa oi seven days, relatives and friends of bride and groom met in the Dershowitz home, the men gathering at a long table to pray and chant, the women assembling in a separate side room. New Cabalistic Cult Only at the conclusion of the seven-day period was the marriage declared "complete." All this was described as the ceremonial requirements of a new Caba listic cult, with a membership in Brooklyn of about 100, based on the Talmulic injunction to do all things "as they were handed down to our ancestors." Among the ways of life enjoined upon believers are the fol lowing: No shaving of beards.

Men must wear dark clothes, preferably black hats and long black coats. Bare arms must not be displayed. Boys and girls should marry at an early age. Practiced by Orthodox An examination of these and other so-called cult customs revealed, however, that most of them are and have been practiced by the extremely orthodox members of the Jewish faith, although the tendency of the great majority of Jews has been to drop such customs.

At the time of her "disappearance," as related by the Dantonio woman, every one in the family searched for her. The Miss ing Persons Bureau was also noti fied, she said.

A tense courtroom heard the woman sketch a tearful word picture of the family's search for their "little girl," who, police records show, has been brought up on prostitution charges time and again. Held Without Bail "Good God, no, she's not guilty," the aunt screamed when questional by reporters. "All we want is to have her back with us." After this touching plea, Nellie, who is officially Norma Parker, 25, of 251 W. 103d Manhattan, pleaded not guilty to charges of felonious assault and was held without bail for a hearing sometime this week.
