Joseph Geist, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the Rockaways. He also pleaded for "Justice" by enforcement agencies and some of the magistrates, who, he said, arbitrarily impose fines without hearing all the evidence. "If the Gestapo methods are continued, it will be cheaper for the merchants to close shop," He said the Chamber itself wars on chiseling merchants who charge too much, but that honest merchants were being hounded by several in spections a day by the OPA, the City Department of Markets, police and District Attorney's men. As an instance of the "trivial" charges made against shopkeepers, cited the case of a merchant summoned for charging 12 cents instead of 11 cents for a quarter of a pound of cheese, the ceiling price for a half pound being 23 cents.

Mr. Geist accused the ODT of "doing everything possible to injure business." He said many Rockaway restaurants had to close at 7 p.m. Sundays because food deliveries are prohibited and the ODT prohibits pickups also. "We are advising- all hotel and restaurant owners to use their passenger cars for Sunday pickups." he said. "We have checked with Rockaway members of the OPA and have been advised is no violation in using passenger cars on Sundays for occupational purposes.

"A little more common sense by the OPA, ODT and the enforcing agencies will help the public and the business man." Held as Slayer Of Estranged Wife William Stein, 39. of 152-20 79th Flushing, was under arrest today on a homicide charge in the stabbing of his estranged wife, Edna, 34, in her apartment at 32-20 34th Astoria, the morning of June 21, Since the crime Stein has been in Bellevue recovering from cuts about the neck, chest and abdomen in what police described as a suicide attempt. Separated four months. Stein, a carpenter employed in the Manhattan Postoffice, visited his wife and their 18-year-old daughter, Margaret, on June 20.
