Meeting In a hall on Mollineaux Place here last night the workers first voted their confidence In the council's general chairman, Robert E.

ML Nassau 'Relief Jury Delays Its Presentment to Hopkins Jobs for 500 1 Now Expected Within Week Former TERA Work Awaits the Okay in Treasury Warrants Mlneola, Dt 21 Twelve of Nassau County's 22 recently abandoned TERA white collar projects have leceived all but final Treasury-warrant approvals, It was learned here today. "Presidential Letter 1244," bearing descriptions of the dozen projects, went to President Roosevelt's desk In Washington yesterday and were approved.

The dozen work relief Jobs, contemplating the employment Of about 500 persons, include the following Lot and block system in the County Clerk's office, instrument Index project in the same department, clerks in the County Treasurer's office, clerks in the Board of Child Welfare, help in the Nassau County Tuberculosis Sanitarium, clerks in the Nassau County Engineer's office, clerks in the Nassau Farm Bureau, clerks in four public schools; Mineola, District Man-hasset, Freeport and Malverne. Projects Revived by Visits The twelve projects, with ten Other white collar projects, have been awaiting approval in Washington since the TERA officially discontinued its entire work relief program in the State. The men and women on them have been, during the past three weeks, obliged to accept assignments to light labor Jobs or apply for home relief. Because of delay in approving the projects, the white collar workers recently organized protective committees to agitate for approval of their Jobs, and county officials sent three delegations to Washington to seek action on the enterprises at the hands of Federal WPA approving officials. At the last of the excursions to Washington, the county delegation found the newly-approved projects In a WPA office under a stack of papers.

The twelve projects were brought out and sent to the President's desk. Yesterday came the first action on them since the TERA dropped them. Work Expected In Week Now it remains for Controller General McCarl to sign Treasury Warrants for them, and route them to the Nassau WPA office by way of the WPA State office in Albany. Special "expediters" are attached to the twelve projects, and it is expected they will be here and working within a week. In the normal course of events it Is a little more than a week between the time Presidential approval is given on a project until the time It is gotten under way.

A question which was of concern here today was: Will the WPA permit the same persons who were working on the twelve white collar Jobs at the time of their discontinuance to return to their posts on them? Though Harold P. C. Howe, district director of the WPA here, declared two weeks ago that such would not necessarily be the case-that a force for the Jobs would be requisitioned in the routine way throutrh the National Re-emplov- Cemetery Raid Trio Takes $1,300 in Pay and Xmas Bonuses From Office Force Mineola. Dec. 21 Detectives under command of Inspector Harold R.

King here are busy today seek ing three bandits who took SMUU In Christmas bonuses and salaries from the business office of the Beth David Cemetery in Elmont, after forcing employes of the office into back room. ijit. vtrHv the trio, all of them, walked into the office of the cemetery on Lehrer Elmont. A girl and a salesman whose names Inspector King would not disclose were in the front office. At the point of guns the two were backed into a rear office where Albert Htm-mel, office manager, was counting $1,300 to cash.

The money was the weekly payroll plus Christmas Bonuses ior tne so empiujes ui cemetery. Scoop Up Cash Qtiirklv the bandit trio scopped up the cash and forced the two men ana tne gin in uie the back of the room. Each bandit assigned himself a particular task. One took the money. Another pushed the girl into a chair.

The third bound Himmel and the, salesman hand and foot, and placed adhesive tape over Hlm-mel's mouth. Leaving the girl unbound and no tape on her mouth or on the salesman's mouth, the three fled through the front door, Jumped into their car, and sped away by a circuitous route that took Bptn out a back gate of the cemetery. En route, the license number of their car was spotted by an alert employe. Investigation disclosed that the licenses were stolen from a Queens ear early this year. From the fact that the bandits pounced upon the money Just as it was loose on the office manager's desk, police estimated that the holdup might be an "inside" tlpoff Job.

Employes of the cemetery were to go through more questioning today. Meanwhile It is expected there will be more funds available for the employes' pay. 3 Hurt in Crash In Far Rockaway Three persons were injured in an automobile collision at 4 p.m. yesterday at the intersection of Nameoke Ave. and Sheridan Boulevard, Far Rockaway.

County Judge Charles S. Colden in Long Island City yesterday ended the trial of Dupont on an assault charge by dismissing the Indictment after the State and defense had completed their cases before a Jury.

Although Dupont was one or live en captured on July 13 by police In South Jamaica after a gun battle between the police and the "rifle gang," who were in cars, William Kerwlck, defense attorney, argued that no proof had been adduced that Dupont had fired at the police or was a confederate of the bandits. The four bandits, upon whom Judge Colden Imposed the long terms after their conviction in August of burglary and grand larceny, are John and Peter Mang, brothers, of Ozone Park; Albert Fives of Ridgewood and Charles McOrath of Maspeth. Dupont was never indicted for burglary or larceny, but only upon the assault charge. Mrs. Kerwick argued that if the case were given to the Jury and a verdict of guilty were found It would be based upon nothing firmer than suspicion.

Detective uordon Hill, wno testi fied that he could not identify Dupont as one of the bandits who had fired at him a fev hours before arrest was made, was com-j mended by Judge Colden for "a splendid display honesty." justice uoinen also lauoeo assisi-it District Attorney James P. McGrattan, saying he had con ducted the prosecution with a high degree of fairness, and thanked Mr. Kerwick, who undertook Dupont's defense as a court assignment, with- fee. The Court told the Jurors that "the fairness you have seen in this trial should inspire you to have faith In the police and the District Attorney. The convicted rifle bandits, ac cording to the lice, were responsible for more than 200 burglaries In Queens and Brooklyn over a two- year penoa.

Ticket Snubbers Hurry to Court To Avoid Arrest 450 Delinquents Swamp Traffic Tribunal When Drive Produces Results Brooklyn Traffic Court was swamped yesterday when hundreds of delinquent traffic violators poured tne warrant on ice in a last- mlnute effort to have their cases heard before warrants could be executed for their arrest. The court, which usually finishes work around noon, was still hearing arraignments at 4 o'clock.

Q'Dwyer's drive, is i do on inursoay.

Fines inflicted on the summon offenders were no harsher than be fore, but in certain cases sentences doubled.

Flndi Press Big Aid If the people become educated to the point that they know they have in to court wnen tney get summonses, the trouble will straighten itself out," declared the Magistrate. fumicity given tms campaign ny the press, and especially The Eagle, ao more tnan aouDung lines, ill create an Impression in the minds of the public that they must respect for the courts, and thereby, for the law."
