April 15 (A) Walter W. Price, New York financier and author, criticized President Roosevelt's Baltimore address today, declaring that it "is idle for either young or old to assume a tribal hostility one to the other, because both are essential to the progress of humanity." "Do not be gulled by those things which cannot be made realities," he told Union College students.

I One-and-One-Eighth-Inch Design Harder to Make Than One That Will Stretch 109 Feet, Says Artist By EVELYN MARSH A one-and-one-eighth inch design is harder to make than one that will stretch 109 feet, says Howard Weinman, the Forest Hills sculptor who will design the 1936 Long Island Tercentenary commemorative half dollar. Colonial Governor To Greet Lehman Rufus King, Colonial Governor of New York Province, will greet Governor Lehman when the Brooklyn-to-Mon-tauk caravan stops at Jamaica during the Long Island Tercentenary observance early in June.

At a meeting last night of the Jamaica Committee for the Tercentenary, held at the Y. M. C. it was decided that a pageant in Colonial costume be enacted in King Park, Jamaica, where the Rufus King home stands. A Jamaica citizen will play the role of Governor King.

Governor Lehman will accompany the caravan in person. The date of the caravan has not been settled. Thomas F. Malone Is chairman of the Jamaica committee. Mrs.

J. Sheldon Fosdick, vice chairman, will arrange the pageant. iMs: ''v. llllfS' II 4 Howard Weinman at his easel, upon which stands a partly finished tentative design for the Tercentenary coin. ings all through my childhood, but nothing very exciting happened to clay, so that I think in raised surfaces.

"Then, the design must be definite and striking. It must tell the whole story at a glance. It must be simple enough to be minted with but one strike. Medals can be struck and restruck until the design stands out; a coin for general circulation has to go into the machine once and come out perfect. And the design must be such that it will wear well, survive constant handling.

"Add to that the restrictions of a one-inch or so space, a circular form, essential printing, and you've just begun your worries. You see there's the little item of subject matter. "Records of Colonial life about 1636 are singularly barren. Men seemed to live in those days, not write." He pointed to a 19-inch cast of two heads, one of a Dutch colonist, the other of an Indian. "I thought that would tell my story pretty well, but I'm having difficulty finding an authentic picture of a Dutchman who lived on Long Island 300 years Suspension Hit; Suit Is Hinted Taxpayers Action Indi cated by Lyons as Result of Mayor's Veto A taxpayer's suit to restrain op eration of Mayor LaGuardia's order suspending the Lyons residence bill was indicated today as proponents and opponents of the measure prepared for a last-ditch fight.

Borough President Lyons of the Bronx, sponsor of the bill, suggested the possibility of court action in a letter to the Mayor contending that his suspension order was illegal. Meanwhile, hearing on an injunction suit by 386 Emergency Relief Bureau workers facing dismissal under the Lyons bill was adjourned today by Supreme Court Justice Bernard L. Shientag in Manhattan until tomorrow, pending further clarification of the workers' present status. On Day-to-Day Basis Matthew Silverman, attorney for the plaintiffs, in reply to a question, said "they are stiil working today, but I can't say about tomorrow." The Mayor issued his order yesterday afternoon after the Alder-manic Board had passed the measure over his veto by a vote of 54 to 5. Acting under section 5 of the bill, he stated that the law was inconsistent with the rules and regulations of the State Temporary Emergency Relief Administration.

According to the section cited by the Mayor, he has the power to halt operation of any section of the law found at variance with TERA regulations. Under Rule 225 of the State body, residence is not a requirement i for holding relief jobs. The immediate effect of the Mayor's action was to save the city $6,000,000 a year in relief funds which the TERA had warned would be withdrawn if the Lyons measure went into operation, and to save the Jobs of 386 persons slated to be ousted from the Emergency Relief Bureau because were not residents of the city at least a year previous to their appointments. Miss Charlotte Carr, executive director of the ERB, was one of those saved by the Mayor's order. The Aldermen passed the bill over the Mayor's veto on the heels of similar action taken by the Board of Estimate by a vote of 11 to 2.

The Ave Aldermen who voted to sustain the Mayors veto were Minority Leader Thomas J. Curran, Samson Inselbuch of Brooklyn, A. Newbold Morris, Eustace V. Dench and Alexander A. Falk.

In suspending operation of the law, the Mayor wrote: "As stated In my veto message, the TERA had informed me in writing that contributions from the State will cease if residence for any particular or specified time shall be made a requirement in establishing qualification for employes. This notice has been confirmed in con ferences with members of the TERA. 'Since then and only today I again conferred with the State Solicitor General, Henry Epstein, who advised me in no uncertain terms that he held the ruling of the TERA valid and that In his opinion the ruling applies not only to admin istrative costs but that if the city, which is authorized to give relief to unemployed by virtue of a State statute known as the Wicks act, should do anything inconsistent with that act, the entire administration and spending of public or city funds would be unauthorized. "Supporters of the local law say that the TERA was to use their own language, and that lt cannot withhold State funds as indicated in the ruling. That, of course, I do not know.

I do know that I will not play poker with home relief. I am desirous of carrying out all laws passed by the Municipal Assembly and will immediately rescind this order if the Municipal Assembly, by joint resolution, requests me so to do." Lyons 'Astounded' Mr. Lyons, In his letter to the Mayor, said: "I was astounded to learn that you Issued an order suspending the operation of the residence bill that was passed over your veto by the Board of Estimate and the Board of Aldermen branches of the Municipal Assembly, purporting to be acting under Section 5 of the bill. "I question your authority to promulgate any such suspension, as Section 5 deals solely with the establishment 'of a condition to the payment by such government of any money for the use of the city or its There is no rule or regulation that I know of that has been issued by the TERA which establishes such conditions." i As Freddie's Kin Come and Go, So Will Fans to See His Show iCopyrilhv 193fi. by the Assoctatrd Press Rome.

April 15 Italy's advancing northern army achieved its major immediate objective of capture of Dessye today, the government announced officially, opening the heart of Ethiopia to the conquering Fascist forces.

April 15 (A) The Italian capture of Dessye without opposition was rejarded by au- thonties here today as exemplifying the complete collapse of Emperor Haile Selassie's defenses in the north. Dessye has been the base of the Emperor's northern operations and was the scene of the bombing raid which many foreigners witnessed at first hand last Winter. It now may become the site of peace negotia tions.

The capture was made by the Eri-trean Army Corps, which was prominent in the pursuit of Halle Selassie's troops following the Italian victory at Lake Ashangi. Italian Advance Swift Its advance from Quoram which was occupied April 5 was steady and swift. On April 12 it marched through Lisbo where large supplies of ammunition and material had been abandoned by the Ethiopians in their flight. By April 13 it had reached the Mille River near Lake Haik. During the last two days, the main body has pressed Into Dessye following the arrival there at least three days ago of its advanced guard.

Then he picks a few likely designs and makes plaster medallions about 18 Inches in diameter. The medallion is reduced to 8 inches, and finally to coin size.

All this time the design doesn't vary by a hair's breadth. At least, that's the Idea. There is a tradition of distinguished achievement in the Weinman family. The father Is past president of the National Sculpture Society, winner of the Fine Arts Medal of the American Institute of Architects, designer of the 50 and 10 cent silver coins now in circula tion, and creator of many famous pieces of sculpture. Father and son designed the pedi ment on the Archives Building and the reliefs on the new Supreme Court Building in Washington.

For the last seven years Howard Weinman has worked with his father. Before that he was apprenticed to Ezra Winter, the murals painter. "I didn't begin my artistic work very early," said Weinman impishly. "The earliest record of my painting is at the age of 3. Those were some pictures!

It seems that when Meyberg's representatives went to Freddie's home at Beverly Hills they were turned away by servants who said that the child and his aunt, Miss Mylllcent Bartholomew, "had gone away." To make up for the absence of Freddie and his aunt, however, and to keep the pot boiling, the lad's grandparents, Mr.

and Mrs. Frederick Robert Bartholomew, just in from England, started by train from New York, keeping their mo tives for the hurried visit secret except to say that they want to see Freddie. Five jets of a kitchen range were open. As an Investigation opened Into the deaths today, police said Miss LaPorte, who was an entertainer in a village night club, was married and the mother of two children. Curtis was well known as a writer for a Manhattan newspaper and an aviation enthusiast.

Geneva Clash Seen While the British and French military leaders "re conferring in London, authoritative sources said, a clash between diplomats of the two nations at Geneva over the question of sanctions appeared probable if the League peace talks failed. A French move for a lifting of penalties from Italy was foreseen by British sources, who said Secretary Anthony Eden would take the strongest stand possible for further defense of Ethiopia. Eden conferred with Prime Min ister Baldwin last night, while authoritative sources indicated the British Government was prepared to support might even demand imposition of new economic and financial sanctions of Italy.

Authoritative sources said they had received reports indicating Italy was encountering extreme domestic difficulties and might not be able to withstand sanctions much longer. Italians I'ninstrui ted Geneva, April 15 (Pi An Italian spokesman said today the Fascist delegation to the League of Nations peace conference had arrived without instructions from Premier Mus solini on settlement of the Italo-Ethiopian war. The spokesman said the delegation had come to the conciliation session to agree upon the procedure for starting peace negotiations. Great Britain has reduced its trade with Italy almost to the vanishing point since application of League of Nations sanctions as punishment for the Fascist warfare in Ethiopia, a League report showed today.

A Year's Work An ordinary coin requires at least year for planning and execution. Weinman has a few months to draw designs, submit his casts, have them approved by the Tencentenary committee, tested at the mint, revised, the dies made and the coins circulated.

The bench consisted of Judges Alfred Hofmann, James Mc-Inerney and Hyman Rayfiel. Moore was the first defendant in such a case to take advantage of demanding the right to be tried by the Special Sessions Court instead of by a city magistrate in Homicide Court.

Moore was believed to have demanded a hearing by the three Judges because of the heavy fines which have been levied on those convicted of drunken driving. It was alleged that Moore on Sept. 15 drove his car into another auto at Patchen Ave. and Bainbridge St. A physician said he was intoxicated.

Hope Is Abandoned For 3 Mine Officials Trapped for a Week Moose River, N. April 15 (P) The crumbling walls of the Moose River gold mine, blocking old shafts and endangering the lives of work ers. crushed virtually all hopes tO' day for a rescue of three mining officials Imprisoned 141 feet within the earth. The only remaining possibility of bringing the three men out alive, mining experts said, might lie in their ability to withstand a week of exposure underground, without food or water. A second partial cave-In last night, following the original collapse In which the officials were trapped Sunday night, rendered unsafe the old Meagher shaft, down which rescue crews were tolling toward the entombed men, forcing abandonment of that course.

Experts decided the miners and volunteer workers must dig an entirely new channel to the 141-foot level. If a huge crane steam shovel, started out on the 75-mile journey from Halifax by special train last night, is able to reach the gold mine through the mud of the neighboring country roads, the imprisoned men might be reached by Saturday.

The young sculptor skipped modestly over autobiography. He mentioned a hazy period at Stuyvesant High School, a first prize in life-drawing at the Grand Central Art School, where he studied for several years, and undefined prizes at the National Academy of Design. Married? "Sure. Two years ago. Elisabeth dors medical research at the Rockefeller Institute." Howard Weinman impresses one with his good-nature and easy temper.

But there's nothing mild about his feeling on the function of art. "So-called modern mural painters and sculptors are all wrong, I think, when they try to express modern themes by portraying the most sordid, depressing elements in our civilization. They are fine cartoonists, and I don't mean that in any derogatory sense, but their message should be made In a small compass, not sprawled over a 60-foot wall. "True art is no the portrayal of the various floors of a tenement house on a huge scale. True art should rather show things as they should be, leave the campaigning to the writers.

Art should be an inspiration, whether it's the facade of a building you are looking at, or the obverse side of a 50-cent piece." Wed While Drunk Is Bigamy Defense If Bernard Adamenas, 30-year-old jobless accountant, married a second time without the formality of divorcing his first wife he did so while he was drunk, he told Magistrate Folwell in Bay Ridge Court today. Magistrate Folwell held Adamenas without bail for action of the grand Jury on a charge of bigamy. Adamenas, who police said had a record of four arrests and three convictions since 1929 on various charges, including grand larceny and forgery, was arrested on complaint of Josephine La Mountain Browning, 30, of 71 Crystal who charged that she and Adamenas were married Feb. 26, 1935, at Christ Chapel, in Sullivan and that later she learned Adamenas had been married at the time to the former Doro thy Retder, 29, of 557 Evergreen Ave. Dorothy Reider Adamenas filed a supporting affidavit substantiating the charge.

It was learned that one man and possibly a woman are apt to be held as material witnesses within the next few days. Both are persons who, the probers are convinced, could tell something of the whereabouts of the long-sought Ike Luckman, Since it took about five weeks for friends and relatives to get together enough equity to cover Sydney's bail, the probers have concluded that if any one else from the same circle is held under high bail it is likely to be some time before it can be provided. Eleven persons rallied to the aid of Sydney with sufficient real estate to be acceptable to Special Assistant Attorney General Josepl A. Miller of Mr.

Todd's staff and Supreme Court Justice Peter P. Smith. The largest share, which had equity of $33,200, was put up by Ignetz Silver of 78 Ingraham a body manufacturer. Kr. Bauman of 459 Sheffield Ave.

He lives at 65j Ocean Ave. A Brooklyn doctor, It was learned today, has moved to vacate a sub-pena summoning him to appear before the special Drukman grand jurv in connection with the bribery case against former Chief Assistant U.

Galnsburg, who is also counsel for Singer, of his motion which is to be argued tomorrow before Supreme Court Justice Erskine C. Rogers. His subpena called for his appearance yesterday. It was believed that the grand Jury was anxious to question him in regard to any illnesses which Singer may have suffered last April and May around the time the alleged bribe offers were supposed to have been made. Cites Possible Sick Claim Prosecutor Todd hinted last week before Justice Rogers that Singer was preparing to claim that he was home sick at the time he is charged with conspiring to bribe an April (1935) grand juror In his office at 215 Montague St.

Hazle-tnn went before Justice of the Peace Rirhard Graf yesterday and announced he was ready for the examination on the hit-run charge. In announcing his client's plea of guilty, Mr. Hazleton remarked that the children killed were walking on the wrong side of the road and that Mrs. Kiefer's flight from the scene was the result of uncontrollable fright and impulse.
