The royal couple hardly had arrived in Brooklyn this morning when they were confronted with the elevated.

They were standing on the steps of Borough Hall, first stopping place of the day, and chatting with the Borough President and Mrs. Their cqiversation was informal. It just had begun when a rumbling overhead stopped all talk for a minute. Surprised, the Prince and Princess stood quietly for a second. Then Borough President Ingersoll pointed up to the passing train and announced, loudly and triumphantly: "That will be down within a year1." The royal guests smiled and nodded.

And Receiving Fee In Abortion Case BULLETIN Assistant District Attorney William F. McGuinnes. suspended since last September, pleaded guilty to four indictments charging bribery, receiving unlawful fees and conspiracy to obstruct justice before Supreme Court Justice Francis D. McCurn this afternoon.

Three of the indictments were handed up today by the two grand jurie investigating law enforcement under Assistant Attorney General Amen. The fourth indictment, handed up last Fall, was the one to which McGuinness had pleaded not guilty. He changed his plea today. The first two of the new indictments charged McGuinness with having received unlawful fees totaling $250 on the promise of saving two defendants from conviction. The third was a superseding indictment for conspiracy to ob struct justice in the passage of $100 by George Murphy, Central Courts Building elevator operator, in connection with a perjury charge.

The fourth indictment had to do with a $50 unlawful fee in an abortion cas in which Dr. Arthur A. Nussbaum is named. Justice McCurn set $5,000 bail for McGuinness. The date of sentence was indefinitely postponed, on application of Mr.

Amen, until after co-defendants have been tried. Several more Indictments will be returned this week in Assistant Attorney General Arr.en's probe of official corruption in Brooklyn, It was reported today. The first is expected tole handed up this afternoon. One of the indictments, it was expected, would name an assistant district attorney, Involved in the fur racket, the center of the oldest pha.se of the investigation. Also believed to be facing indictment is a Brownsville woman, reported to be a leader in a prostitution ring there, on a charge of bail bond perjury.

ffTie expected indictment of the third assistant prosecutor, it was believed, would substantiate reports current last Summer that Isadore Juffe, key figure in the fur racket, "paid plenty" to avoid prosecution. Rumors at that time, which eventually resulted in the appointment of Amen to supersede District Attorney Geoghan in the law enforcement I probe, were to the effect that Juffe paid $800 to the prosecuting official. GRAND JIRY ACTIVE In this connection it was noted (that William Richter, attorney for I Juffe now but not in the case be-Uieved involved in the alleged bribe; Commissioner of Investigation Her-' lands, who investigated the bribe story before Amen came on the scene, and Magistrate Matthew J. Troy, who presided over earlier court phases of the case, have all been before Amen's first extraordinary grand jury within the last two weeks. On March 2.

Amen obtained three superseding indictments in the fur racitet case, naming the seven men indicted last Fall, including Juffe, thrrei.trolmen and three others. Thhyb which concerns the alleged laceteering itself, and not bribery of ir.y public official for "protection." is still pending. The hrownsville woman, it was sa.d, will be accused of faLsely swearing, in posting a bail bond, that she as or. any other bond at the t'me. while allegedly she was on bond Ao Thanks, Says V.

Carft Take Self-Imposed Tax The $10 which Benjamin Rosen-feld of 232 S. 1st St. sent to Uncle Sam as his income tax return for 1938 even though his earnings as a butcher were below the amount tax able bJaw was returned to him today by Collector of Internal Revenue Almon G. Rasquin. The Government has no way of disposing of the $10 because the tax law does not permit a return from Rosenfeld, whose earnings were insufficient, and unless the payment i is anonymous it cannot be accepted, it was said- today at the collector's office.

Rosemeld mailed the money to the Internal Reverue Department several months ago with a note stating that although his earnings were lit tie, he felt it the duty of every American citizen to show his gratitude to the Government by paying some tax. no matter how small his income.
