There wasn't A NEW FUR SALON for port, who said he saw "no determination" on the part of the board with respect to any particular type of transportation. "Of course there is a powerful group seeking to place buses here as they have in Manhattan," he said.

Under the heading of "Information to Contractors," the board advises: "In view of the fact that this Is a rental contract for omnibuses for transportation of passengers and that the term of the lease will extend over a period of seven years, the bidder will be required to furnish to the board details of the bidder's ability to deliver omnibuses in accordance with the specifications and suitable for the service intended, together with a statement of the bidder's financial condition." At the offices of the board it was stated that there are approximately 12 traction companies capable of fulfilling the requirements of experience and financial ability. 5CALISE TRIAL WITNESS FEARS HE'LL BE SLAIN 'Might Be Murdered For Linking Defendant To Chicago Mob, He Says Isidore Schwartz, organizer of Local 32-A of the Building Service Employes International Union, testified today that he was afraid he "might be murdered" because of testimony he gave yesterday linking George former president cf the International union, with a gang of Chicago mobsters. Schwartz, who lives at 1182 E. 22d St, Is under indictment for extortion from hotel owners and, though out In $6,000 bail, Is being guarded by two detectives from District Attorney Dewey's office. He has handed in a resignation, effective Sept.

13, to the union. Called as a prosecution witness In General Sessions Court, Manhattan, he testified yesterday that Scalise, on trial for stealing $60,087 of union funds, was named president of the union by order of "the Chicago mob'' after a conference in Chicago attended by Little Augie Pi-sano of Brooklyn, Prank Diamond, Charles Fischettl and Mike Carozo. Questioned on Chicago Angle Defense Attorney Martin W. Littleton sought to throw out the Schwartz testimony as Irrelevant and prejudicial and wnen that was refused by Judge Jacob Gould Schurman asked for an adjournment to determine whether he would "remain mute" during the rest of the trial, cross-examining no more State witnesses and presenting no defense. At the resumption of the trial today, however, he began the cross-examination of Schwartz by asking when he first told the District Attorney about "the Chicago angle." He finally said that It was a week ago Saturday.

"Why didn't you mention It before?" Littleton asked. big ships will be Immediately available." To Head Boro Delegation He alone will call on Mr. Vinson, Mr. Delaney said, but when he visits the President it will be at the head of the Brooklyn delegation of Congressmen, of whose unanimous support he says he feels assured. Mr.

Delaney is optimistic about his White House pilgrimage. President Roosevelt, he says, has "an admiral's grasp of the needs of the navy and probably knows the Brooklyn Navy Yard as well as Its commandant." "During the first World War, while he was Assistant Secretary of the Navy," Mr. Delaney continued, "President Roosevelt paid Innumerable visits to the Brooklyn yard. And he undoubtedly has some knowledge also of the area my bill would make a part of the 6 for a public hearing to determine: 1. Whether the board may lease buses to replace certain undetermined trolley lines in Brooklyn.

2. Which trolley lines shall be replaced by buses. 3. What type of locomotion shall be employed by the buses, if leased. Officials of rnc Board of Transportation pointed out today that, if Fulton St.

Is decided upon as one of the routes to be replaced by buses, demolition of the Fulton St. elevated will be pushed forward by four months. May Be Discussed Under the proposed contract and specifications there is no indication that the trackless trolley will be given any consideration. It was pointed out, however, that this mode of travel Is not thus eliminated, but may be injected into the discussions at the public hearing. A group of Brooklyn business and civic leaders recently flew to Baltimore and Wilmington to witness operation of the trackless trolleys in those cities.

Subsequently the group, through Henry J. Davenport, president of the Downtown Brooklyn Association, reported on the findings of the trip 'to Chairman John H. Delaney of the Board of Transportation. "The Downtown Brooklvn Association Is still following its policy of submitting facts and data to the board," Mr. Davenport said today.

'No Determination Yet' The fact that the trackless trolleys were omitted from the pro yard. Back in 1919, I remember, the President spoke from the back of a truck at Sands and Bridge Sts, on behalf of the candidacy of former Congressman James P. Maher, then running for re-election." )' Germans Deny Bombing Of Four Irish Towns Berlin. Aue. 27 (U.P) Authorized German military quarters said today that the "German high command knows nothing about any bombing of County Wexford, Ireland." It was said that no German military planes were reported off Eire at the time four Wexford towns were bombed yesterday, killing three girls and wounding another.

It was said also that the German plan of attack against England makes It most unlikely that any German planes would be off Eire.

"It might not be a shock to you, Mr. Littleton," Schwartz shot back, "but It is to me." Went Up State' to Bronx Defense Attorney Littleton Injected a humorous note Into the grim testimony at the trial In the afternoon by questioning Schwartz ebout his dealings with the District Attorney's office. Schwartz said at one point that he went "up State" to the Bronx to confer with the Assistant District Attorneys. He said that only last Saturday did he know what charge he was Jailed for in 1920, and convulsed the courtroom when he admitted that had been his first Inkling that he served 15 months for rape.
