I Charges Monopoly Plot To Cheat City Expects Restitution of $125,000 Information furnished investigators by the late Cornelius O. Van-derbilt who died three hours before he was to have appeared before a grand Jury, Is credited today with having aided Assistant Attorney Oeneral Amen In obtaining an Indictment charging two Staten Island paving contractors with conspiracy to defraud the city through an illegal monopoly.

The defendants, with whom Mr. Vanderbllt wag named a co-conspirator in the indictment handed up to County Judge Thomas F. Cosgrove In Staten Island, are the Vanbro Construction Corporation of West New Brighton and the John E. Donovan Paving Company, of Port Richmond. Expert $125,000 Restitution The indictment accuses the corporal ions, in two counts, with conspiracy to monopolize and restrain trade in paving roadways, fixing prices 20 percent above fair value, rigging bids submitted to the Richmond Borough President and cheating the city.

As a result of the indictment, Mr. Amen said he expects to force the two corporations to make restitution of at leaM $125,000, which will swell the fund of approximately $500,000 already collected from city paving contractors. Describes Plot Technique Mr. Amen charged the two corporations had an agreement whereby the Vanbro Corporation was to receive, all the contracts, the Donovan firm being compensated with a rake-off. Under this agreement, the Indictment alleges, the Vanbro Corporation had given the Donovan firm $24,026.

The body of Mr. Vanderbilt, 53-year-old head of the Vanderbilt Construction Company, was found in Richmond Creek the day he was to have appeared before the grand jury. An autopsy showed death was due to a heart attack, with which he was stricken while fishing. Mr. Amen said that information Mr.

Vanderbilt had previously given Investigators furnished valuable leads which were exploited in LaGuardia, here to receive his commission from President Roosevelt as head of the new Office of Civilian Defense, said he proposed to establish three divisions to deal with public safety, engineering, shelter and food. Meeting reporters in the Federal Reserve Building, LaGuardiw said his first and most Important task will be to co-ordinate activities of hundreds of groups throughout the country. Some Units Already Active "Some of these organizations have already started to function," he said. "We must co-ordinate these forces and assign them to specific duties." LaGuardia outlined the duties for the three propped OCD divisions as follows: The Division of Public Safety Will deal with fire protection and other means for protecting property and life. It will direct training and preparation for health and hospital work "Insofar as aid is needed In event of an attack." The Engineering Division Will train and prepare volunteers for the clearance of highways and streets.

Tills unit also will deal with repair and maintenance of water and gas supplies "which might be damaged under attack." The Division of Shelter and Food Supplies Will concern itself with welfare, evacuation, housing and feeding problems. The OCD, LaGuardia said, will have regional headquarters in each of the nine Army Corps areas. About 80 percent of the OCD's field staff will be voluntary workers. Women, the Mayor emphasized, will play nn important part in the program. Most first aid, removal of injured, care of children and nutrition activities will be commanded and executed by women.

Women will be put into uniforms, he said, because it would make them easily recognizable as civilian defense volunteers. Children from 14 years old and up, he said, eventually will be given duties. They could be useful to salvage materials such as metals and rubber and be messengers.

Hupp- The so-called Young plan for millc marketing, placed before the milk marketing hearing at the St. George Hotel late yesterday, is aimed to eliminate the "paradox" of undernourishment of rural children because of the low prices of milk and city children's undernourishment because milk prices to the ultimate consumer are too high. The plan, a sweeping proposal for milk marketing control, was drafted by Owen D. Young, former chairman of the board of the General Electric Company and owner of an up-State dairy farm, It was presented on his behalf to the hearing, held on orders of Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wlckard to work out amendments to Federal and State orders on milk marketing.

The cited by Mr. Young was that the dairy farmer, desperately in need of cash, sells nearly all his milk when prices are low, leaving an insufficient amount for his own children. Low prices on the farm, however, become high prices in the city, making milk a luxury for the children of the poor. He proposed that, instead of controlled prices for nine milk classifications, the farmer receice $3.05 per hundredweight of liquid milk for immediate consumption as against the present $2 82, and that the oter classifications be left Continued From Page 1 a bulwark against the detoNiiinpd attempts, of foreign agents to divide our population with tire hates and prejudices of the Old World. "The Mayor's, foresight in planning and preparation against all eventualities, through a deep study of defensive measure abroad, is also of the greatest importance and benefit to the city.

Coupled with a two-tearm administration, which has been labelled by friend and foe alike as tile greatest in the history of New York, these arguments are unanswerable in the demand upon the Mayor to accept a third term." 'We accept Mayor's Challenge' Mr. Howe concluded his statement by assorting, "we accept the Mayor's challenge and say that the people of the City of New York want Fioiello H. LaGuardia us their candidate for a third term and will organize behind the banners of Fusion for his re-election. The general effect of the Mayor's address on his own Immediate political future appealed to be that he was open for a draft movement to make him a third-term candidate to succeed himself. In his WNYC address he had said of the need of civilian and home defense: "There Is no Intention on the part of the President, and surely there is none on my part, to create a feeling of alarm or of fright.

In all likelihood there is 95 percent probability that there will never be any need for all this preparation. It is, however, necessary precaution, when the lives of men and women and, above all, of little children, are exposed to danger and destruction, should the margin of 5 percent materialize." f) 6 0 rr Faces Jail in Morals Case Mineola, May 22 Alfred Castro, 19, of Wantagh, taken into custody May 13 in New Bedford, with Audrey Hohenstern, 13, daughter of Fred Hohenstern, Wantagh dairyman, will be sentenced here next Thursday on a morals charge, to which he pleaded guilty- yesterday before District Court Judge Leslie J.
