THREE CENTS DEWEY CHALLENGES DUCE RESTRICTS DIET OF ITALIANS TO DEFY LEAGUE REPRISALS SHYLOCK Taken for Ride by Dewey Warns 23 Loan Sharks Suspects They'll Get Life if Witnesses Are Threatened Calls Racket Worse Here Where He Can't Act Crash Is Fatal As Siren Ban Delays Doctor Dying Woman Waits 45 Minutes in Street for Muffled Ambulance Mayor Vetoes Aldermanic Cut In Water Rate Action to Override Him Can't Be Taken Until 2 Days After Election Mayor LaGuardta today vetoed the ordinance passed unanimously by the Board of Aldermen recently, reducing water rates of all classes of consumers by a total of $5,900,000 a year. His action was prompted, the Mayor said, by "certain financial realities which cannot be ignored." The veto, under the charter, cannot be acted upon by the Aldermen for ten days. This means that the earliest possible moment at which a vote to override the veto can be taken Is Nov. 7, two days after election.

Mayor's Warning In his veto message the Mayor said: "It Is obvious and inevitable that an attempt to reduce the water rates at this time simply means that an equal amount would be added to the real estate tax to be paid by the sama people who pay the water rates. "There are but two alternatives (if the veto is overridden). Either additional revenues or a reduced budget which would mean curtailment of services In hospitals, child welfare, old age pensions, public relief, fire and police services or reduction of salaries in the civil service." The Mayor also raised a new point which may prevent the aldermen from acting on the veto at all. Section 216 of the charter, the Mayor said, specifically provides that it shall be unlawful to make any change in rates or charges which Italian Troops Gain 25 Miles InMakalePush Elhiops Fire on Fliers Over Fortihed Town-Big Force Is Spotted Rome, Oct. 29 (JP) Italian patrols in northern Ethiopia have penetrated 25 miles farther into the interior covering half the distance between Adlgrat and Makale, an official communique said today.

At the same time, or. the Somali land front, the communique stated, native patrons from the Italian forces routed Ethiopian troops between Scillave and Gorahai in Oga-den Province, capturing 732 Ethiopian rifles. The communique, issued on the 27th day of hostilities, said the first army corps had executed a reconnaissance at Hauzlen, about 25 miles south of Adlgrat, and half-way to Makale, the next objective of the Eritrean army. Other patrols to the west have conducted reconnaissance expeditions southwest of Aduwa as far as the Takkaze River, 30 miles from the old line, the communique stated. They did not encounter important resistance, it said.

The first of the measures, effective Nov. 5, ordered restricted sale of meats to reduce the necessity of Imports. Restrictive measures were also put on public dining.

II Duce Is also preparing a plan to reduce the governmental use of paper and other supplies that are partly imported. The first of the orders to become effective will close butcher shops on Tuesdays, while on Wednesday they cannot sell beef, poultry or pork during the duration of the diet law. May Open on Sunday The butchei shops, in payment for the two days' closing, will be permitted to remain open Sundays until 11 a.m. Mussolini rejected the idea of bread cards or any other such restrictions. Hotels, restaurants and dining cars will be forbidden to serve more than one meat or fish dish at a meal.

To increase the food supply the fish Industry promised increase production. Restrictions on game have also been lifted to encourage Its use as food. Spaghetti and bread were found to be safe because the 1935 wheat crop was officially given as 282,000,000 bushels, which, plus the reserve stock, is considered sufficient to cover the nation's needs.

29 Apartments in the Government's low cost housing development in Williamsburg will rent for as low as $5 a room, Secretary of the Interior Ickes, PWA administrator, said today. Mrs, Henrietta Thode, 69, who lay in the street for 45 minutes waiting for ambulance deprived of its siren in the anti-noise section campaign died at 4 a.m. today in Mary Immaculate Hospital, Jamaica. Mrs. Thode had been knocked down by a hit-and-run motorist at Queens Boulevard and Rego Park.

The car's bumper tore off her arm. Someone called an ambulance and Thomas Flaherty, driver, left Mary Immaculate Hospital at 6:04 p.m. Without his siren there was no way for him to open up congested traffic lanes. He made the trip which ordinarily takes about 10 minutes in something over 30 minutes. Asks Police Car's Aid Dr.

Richard S. Dietz, ambulance surgeon, realizing the woman's condition required emergency measures, asked radio squad car to precede him to the hospital. With the aid of the police siren the trip consumed only 12 minutes. Mrs. Thode was placed on the operating table, but loss of blood and shock had lessened her chances of living to zero.

Mrs. Thode's home was at 92-10 179th Place, Jamaica. Her husband is in Europe. Her death today, though not completely attributed to the delay in the ambulance's arrival, focused city-wide attention on the fact that sirens have been ordered silenced on tester Stone, Secretary tcr Mayor LaGuardia, said no order had been issued from his office regarding ambulance sirens, other than a request to the police department to check up on abuses by private ambulances.

29 Wi Attorney General John J. Bennett said today he had begun an investigation of racetrack betting racketeering at Saratoga Springs, and that his investigation might spread to every track in New York State. The Attorney General refused to describe specifically the racket under investigation. He said it was taking hundreds of thousands of dollars annually from racetrack followers. The investigation was started nine months ago by the State's Racket Bureau in New York City in charge of Deputy Attorney General Sherman J.

Mauhs, Mr. Bennett disclosed. Mauhs, working in co-operation with district attorneys, has questioned more than 1,500 persons, Bennett said. Mauhs said the investigation "takes in one of the biggest and most vicious rackets being conducted in this State." "It is a racket which conservative estimates say takes $3,000,000 annually from citizens of the State," he said. ANASTASIA LOSES AGAIN Mysterious Grand Dutchess An-astasia Nikolaevna received another setback today in her 11-year battle to estabhsh herself as the late Russian Czar's daughter and sole survivor when Surrogate Dele-hanty in Manhattan dismissed her application to amend the letters of administration for the Czar's estate in America.

Accused of stealing 39 sewing machine heads, worth $75 to $150 each, from the A. R. D. Dress Shop manufacturing plant at 2490 McDonald Maurice Marsh, alias Ross, was arrested today as he was driving his new sedan away from Governor Blamed L. I.

R. R. Lists New Equipment To Battle Snow Commissioner Is Told Most of It Will Be Installed by Dec. 15 J. A.

Appleton, general manager of the Long Island Railroad, assured Transit Commissioner Reuben L. Haskell today that complete preparations are being made to handle all snowstorms during the coming Winter. According to Mr. Appleton, the installation of snow equipment on all brancnes of the railroad Is proceeding on scheduled time and with one exception all of the equipment will be in service by Dec. 15.

Installation of weather stripping on coaches, he said, will not be completed until Jan. 31. The testimony taken today was In completion of a hearing held several weeks ago. The hearing was held in the offices of the Transit Commission, 270 Madison Manhattan. Commissioner Haskell asked if any provision had been made to speed up the information service at stations and was told that the teletype system would be in operation by Dec.

1. "What about the additional platform men who were to be put on duty during the rush hours?" Commissioner Haskell asked. Mr. Appleton replied that he was not in a position to testify about the matter, but that he thought two additional men had been placed on duty at the Jamaica station last Winter and had again been placed there about six weeks ago. Commissioner Haskell continued this line of questioning for several more minutes, but Louis J.

Carruth-ers, counsel for the railroad. Insisted that the hearing should be confined to snow equipment details. The subject of information service at the Pennsylvania station in Manhattan was introduced, but again Mr, Carruthers Insisted it was not a part of the inquiry. He conceded, however, that the information booth was open fewer hours than formerly, but he added that the service had been transferred to the ticket windows. "Economy made the move necessary," Mr.

Special Prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey today hurled a challenge at 23 furtive, undersized, unshaven defendants he brought before Supreme Court Justice McCook in Manhattan on loan shark charges. Turning to the group huddled in one end of the courtroom he said in a loud voice: "If any defendant threatens any of my witnesses, I promise that this investigation will never cease until that defendant is in the penitentiary for life." The challenge was hurled in the course of the arraignments of the 23 before a Supreme Court Justice sitting as a magistrate, an unusual procedure designed by Dewey to protect the witnesses to the fullest extent. Bail for the accused ranged from $2,500 to $25,000 each. Faden Ball $25,000 Samuel Faden, alias Curley, a Brooklyn man, living at 1835 Prospect Place, was given the high ball of the day after Dewey had set forth that his misdemeanors and felonies if laid end to end would merit him 92 years in prison.

Bondsmen on Hand The accused were brought Into Justice McCook's courtroom shortly before 1 p.m. They had not yet had time to confer with counsel since their seizure late last night in a series of simultaneous raids la various rU of the city. But the attorneys and bondsmen were on hand in court, ready to defend ther clients from the racket-crushing forces of the law. Prosecutor Dewey said his serie of raids was designed to smash the loan shark racket completely. Hs believed he had struck a serloua blow at the racket in Manhattan, but so far as Brooklyn was concerned, he wasn't so sure of his effectiveness.

'Worse In Brooklyn' "The racket Is much worse fat Brooklyn, but it's untouched there because my Jurisdiction is confined to Manhattan," he said. So deeply rooted has the lending racket become rooted in Brooklyn, it was pointed out, that in the un. derworld parlance it is actually called "the Brooklyn racket," ne matter where it Is practiced. The purpose of Dewey's procedure today was to keep the cases out Continued on Pace Fire on Liner 730 Miles at Sea Boston, Oct. 29 t4) The liner Exarch today requested vessels In her vicinity to stand by because of a fire on her shelter deck.

It later reported her steering gear was out of commission. The liner did not ask assistance. The Exarch reported In a message intercepted by the Coast Guard here that the hand steering gear was being used. Her position was given at 750 miles east of New York. The Exarch left New York Friday for Mediterranean ports.

She carried a crew of 36 and nine passengers. The American Export Line said today it had been advised by the liner Exarch that fire which had broken out on the ship's shelter deck was not serious. 70 Bodies Found In Honduras Flood Tegucigalpa. Honduras, Oct. 29 fP The bodies of 70 persons drowned in the present floods were recovered at Corocito today, leading officials to estimate that fur-thei reports would indicate Honduras to be suffering the worst disaster in the nation's history.

The rupture of communications prevented a general estimate of the total loss of life, but it is known from official reports that hundreds of persons are marooned in hills and treetops and in danger of death unless rescued soon. The United Fruit Company and other fruit-growing firms w-ere estimated by authorities to have suffered about $6,000,000 damage. Port-au-Prince. Haiti, Oct. 9 UP) Although relatively few bodies have been recovered, authorities said today additional information tended to confirm the estimate of 2.000 dead in last week's hurricaa and cloudburst.

1 the concerns retail store at 1424 Sheepshead Bay Road. Police say the 35-year-old prison er was one of the cleverest thieves who has operated in Brooklyn, and that he and two accomplices have committed 50 burglaries in th plants of dress concerns, stealing at least $25,000 worth of sewing machine heads. Marsh, using the name of Ross, worked last Winter as a mechanic in the A. R. Dress Shop plant.

Police say he disappeared at the time the machinery was stolen. He returned to the plant last Wednesday, accjrding to one of the company executives, and asked for a job. He was told to come back Friday, but did not return until today. Seized on Radio Alarm Company officials telephoned po lice headquarters and within a few moments Patrolmen Joseph Miccio and James Maloney of the 11th Division picked up a radio alarm saying: 'Ross is at 1424 Sheepshead Bay Road." They seized him and he said his name was Goldman. The name on his automobile registration card was Maurice Marsh, Police say Marsh returned to Brooklyn last Winter, and encoun tered Angelo Zarli, from whose shop at 240 25th 50 sewing machine heads had been stolen.

Zarli, the police say, forced Marsh to admit he had stolen the machines and sold them to a company at 1115 Broadway, near 23d Manhattan. Ducked Outside Door Zarli is said to have taken Marsh to that address and to have lost him when the man, after entering by the Broadway door dodged out another exit. would tend to diminish receipts for the general fund. This section, the Mayor said, clearly prohibits the aldermen from reducing the rates at trl? time.

The low record for this date was ten years ago, when the temperature was down to 31 degrees. The official forecast is showers tonight; Wednesday fair and little change In temperature.

Weather Bureau officials said today that an unusually protracted prevalence of southerly winds is responsible for the warm weather. They also said a pronounced deficiency of rainfall has been recorded this month. The normal preciptation for October Is 3.53 inches but the figure for this month is 1.08. DENIES FALSE ALARM William Sherman, 44, of 2826 120th College Point, was arraigned today before Magistrate Sweeney in Bridge Plaza Court on a charge of turning in a false fire alarm.

J. Brennan Ree 7-5 7-10 6-5 Heart 5 Bonsolr 6 Brustigert This announcement by Ickes constitute a complete about face in Administration policy and a clear-cut victory for the Secretary over other New Dealers who have insisted the slum clearance projects must be 100 percent self-liquidating. Vrges Permanent Program Ickes confirmed a report published exclusively in The Eagle a week ago today in which it was predicted that the Government would cut rents to as low as $10 for a two-room apartment by amortizing only 55 percent of the cost of the buildings and making the remaining 45 percent a grant to the Government by the Government. Discussing housing plans today, the Secretary urged the adoption of a permanent slum clearance and low cost housing program next year. Ickes will draw up and have introduced at the next Congress a bill creating a revolving fund for housing projects.

There is, he said, "hardly any reasonable limit to the amount that could be spent replacing tenements with model homes." Low Rent Answers Critics The fact that Ickes had persuaded the administration to permit a policy of bringing the rentals down to a point where they will be within reach of persons who otherwise would live in slums is expected to eliminate most of the criticism against the New Deal's housing program. The complaint, to date, has been that the rents would not be any cheaper than those allowed by private builders.

Eaton today blamed the Governor for failure to force out of committee the anti-crime bills sponsored last Spring by Attorney General Bennett. The current wave of gang killings, Eaton said, was the result.

Describing the Governor's radio address last night as "a political haranpue," Eaton said: "If the Governor had pressed for the passage of these bills the streets of our first-class cities would no longer be used as shooting galleries by the underworld in their present struggle for supremacy in the policy racket, rackets in industry and rackets that touch every point in our everyday life. "And I say this because if the police had seen that the Governor was genuinely anxious for non-political law enforcement and If the police authorities had been given legislation which would have permitted this adequate law enforcement, scenes reminiscent of isolated skirmishes on the western front in the World War would no lonper be staged in the thoroughfares of our first class cities." Tho Bennett program was stranded in Democratic-controlled committees of the Legislature. Eaton declared in a prepared statement issued from Republican State com- mittee headquarters. voters being served with any notice at all. An affidavit by Clarence Penny, a special deputy sheriff, alleged that he had investigated all the houses in Mastic Beach and thereabouts, and had found most of thpm closed and deserted.
