Lasher, principal of James Madison High School, announced today his support of the bill for the increase of the salary schedule of Junior clerical assistants to $1,200 to $2,000 from the present schedule of $1,200 to $1,500. In a letter to State Senator A. Spencer Feld he wrote: 'As a principal In a large city high school I am in constant contact with the work of Junior clerical assistants. I know and recognize their value to our schools and the Inequitable remuneration they Bankrupt Housewife Lists $4,791,777 in Liabilities; Has $100 A woman who lists herself as a Brooklyn housewife filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy today, with liabilities of $4,791,777.45 and assets of J100 in wearing apparel.

The woman is Mrs. Goldie Silverman of 63 Sunnyside Ave. Papers attached to the petition state that the liabilities are principally "accommodation papers," notes, bills and bonds, which the papers state, "ought to be paid by others." The creditors include banks, title and mortgage companies, many due debts of $500,000. Warrants Out For Parkers relief office and was advised to place her furniture, such as it was, in storage, and go to live in a furnished room, for which the rent would be provided. Mrs.

Warren, 60 and white haired, shook her head. She went back to her heaped-up belongings In front of 300 Avenue A last night, she set up a bed on the sidewalk, made It up meticulously, crept under the covers and went to sleep. A policeman kept a kindly lookout. This morning she rose, straightened her clothes, yanked on a hat and said, "Well, I'm on my way to a bookbindery uptown where I know I can get a couple of hours work." And she was off. lowed by a fairly full outline of German economic and social policy by Hitler, after which Mr.

Hoover was said to have said that he represented an element which held that in the United States national economy should be controlled only to the extent necessary to prevent abuses. To this point of view he is believed to have added that Americans could and should attack tlieir problems without sacrificing personal, intellectual and religious liberty. Hitler is thought to have observed that these views might well be tenable in a country as rich in raw materials and as free from enemies on her border as the United States, but that Germany could not afford them. Life has been pretty rough on Mrs. Isabella Marie Jordan Warren, but she has remained a rugged and a smiling individualist.

In 1904, neighbors said, her husband, Cyril, deserted her and a small daughter. Mrs. Warren, working as a bookbinder, brought up the daughter, now living in Norfolk, Va. 1934, bookbinding work having given out, she was forced on home relief, but two years later, through doing odd Jobs, she went off the relief rolls. Yesterday, the odd Jobs also having faded out, she was evicted from her home at 300 Avenue Manhattan, for non-payment of rent.

It was said she had gone to a Assault Price Lists Cited in Liquor Trial "I know a man who would bite off an ear for $50, break a leg for $75, an arm for $25 or a finger for $10," a witness quoted Frank (Fran-kle the Bull) Giordano as saying at the trial today of Giordano and 30 other men on charges of conspiracy to violate the liquor tax law in Manhattan Federal Court. The witness, John Davis, 33, Negro, of 151 W. 14th Manhattan, the first for the Government, identi fied Giordano as the man who told him of the price list for mutilation. He also testified he paid $10 amonth for protection to three patrolmen of the W. 135th St.

station, Manhattan. Radio Station Quiz Tit; wans on mavor Little hope was held today for immediate official action on the City Councils 14 to 12 vote for an investigation of WNYC, municipal broadcasting station, as an alleged outlet for Communist propaganda. A bitter exchange of personal animosities between Councilmen William A. Carroll, Manhattan Democrat, and Michael J. Quill, Bronx Labor member, had no sooner been climaxed last night by the favorable vote when Newbold Morris, president of the Council, delayed the launching of the probe by insisting that the matter be submitted for the approval of Mayor LaGuardia.

After the Democratic members had voiced vigorous opposition to that proposal, the matter was referred to the Democratic-controlled committee on rules, which will ap point a committee of five to conduct another preliminary investigation. Councilman Charles E. Keegan, Bronx Democrat, who introduced the resolution calling for the probe, is now being sued for $150,000 by Robert McBride, president of the National Travel Club, sponsor of the program alleged to have contained the propaganda. Prodigy and Teacher Give Music Lecture A demonstration of the teaching of the elementary principles of music was given by Mrs. Amelia Faus-tinl, assisted by her pupil, eight- year-old Virginia Scalisi, at a meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association of Public School 222 last night at the school, Quentin Road and E.

Berlin, March 9 (U.R It was understood today that Intense annoyance had been caused In German official circles and In the party of Herbert Hoover by interpretations of the former President's conversation yesterday with Adolf Hitler as a "denunciation" of fascism.

Both, sides denied that the conference even remotely approached such a phase. It was believed that Mr. Hoover opened the talk with general remarks about building activities he observed along the roads as he drove to Berlin and also that he compared the healthy appearance of German children today and the appearance of German children just after the World War. This was said to have been fol Whitney Takes Blame in Crash Continued from Page 1 sonal account, obtaining no receipt, so far as he could recall, and keep ing no record of the transaction. He gave his testimony at an open hearing conducted by Assistant Attorney General Ambrose V.

McCall in the State Building, 80 Centre Manhattan. In the Federal Building, a short distance away, Judge Francis Caffey named Attorney Joseph Lorenz of 165 Broadway as receiver in bankruptcy. Partner Testifies John Davidson, counsel for the Securities and Exchange Commission, sat by as an observer. Henry D. Mygott, a 3 percent partner, also testified.

It was expected that Mr. Whitney would be called tomorrow. Rosenthal, connected with the firm since it was organized in 1916, read from the firm records that as of March 2 last the estate of Eila Haggin MrKee was "long" of 2,000 shares of Homestake Mining Company, worth about $118,000. McCall asked: "Do you have this stock in your possession?" "No," replied the cashier. "Where is it?" "I delivered the stock to Mr.

Whitney In January, 1938. He asked for it and I gave it to him." He gave similar testimony as to United States Treasury and other bonds, with a value of about owned by the New York Yacht Club. Doesn't Recall Receipt "Did you get a receipt from Mr. Whitney for the securities you gave him," McCall asked. "I don't recall whether I did or not." "You've been around long enough, haven't you, not to give stocks and bonds away without a receipt?" "I'd give them to a senior partner." A little later Mr.

McCal lasked: Isn't it true that the Homestake stock is pledged with the Public National Bank as security for a personal loan to Mr. Whitney?" "I believe it is," Rosenthal an swered. The securities Involved were owned outright by the Haggin estate and the Yacht Club and were given to the Whitney firm for safekeeping. Readig from th erecords, the witness revealed that thes ix partners in te firm had a total debit account with the firm of $3,911,271.85, as against a total credit of $3,093,807.18. The largest debit account was Mr.

Whitney's. $611,000. The net debit for the firm was $817,064.67. Accounts of Others Debit accounts of the other partners were: John J. McManus, Henry D.

Mygott, Daniel G. Condon, F. Kingsley Rodewald, $142,020.95, and Edwin D. Morgan $15,611.68. The estate of John A.

Hayes, described as a partner." had a credit account Of $335.63868. Rosenthal testified that he trans, ferred the Haggin and Yacht Club securities in 1937 from the accounts of those firms and placed them in the drawing account of Mr. Whitney. In January last, upon handing the sesurlties to Mr. Whitney, they went to his "personal" account.

Asked by Max Furness, senior accountant in the Securities Bureau of the Attorney General's office, whether other members of tht firm knew of the transfers, Rosenthal said: "I believe Mr. Rodewald did. I spoke to him in 1937 when the securities were transferred from the accounts of the two customers to the drawing account of Mr. Whitney." "Was there not a trial balance sheet each month which went to all the partners?" "Yes, but the trial balance sheet Urges Jews Unite In Battle on Foes Describing the present wave of anti-Semitism as "more disgraceful and deplorable than under the reign of the Pharaohs," Miss Sarah Shim-kin, chairman of the American Jewish Congress Women's Division of Williamsburg, meeting last night at 18 Graham pleaded for a united Jewish front to combat "this evil influence on civilization." "Our task is not simple," she said. "It requires the most stanch and unstinted support and aid of every person interested In maintaining freedom of religion and thought throughout the world.

It remains for us, the free and unoppressed, to wage relentless war against those forces which advocate the destruction of a patriotic and lawabiding race. We in the democratic countries possess the key to the gate which will keep the enemy at bay. "In the American Jewish Congress we have a united front and force which can lend pressure to any movement for the betterment of the Jews, It has taken up the cudgels for the persecuted and prosecuted Jewish people. The Jewish Congress Is really the political voice of the Jewish people. "If people work against our race we do not use arms to down them.

We do not rush for our guns to slay them. We use the peaceful and effective methods against such elements." Socialite Suspect Sent to Bellevue Ten Broeck M.

Fear Rate Rise Won't End Peril DangeroiisFinanoialCon-ilition Remains Despite I.C.C.Hoost,PelleySays Washington. March 9 OPt Approval of higher freight rates by the Interstate Commerce Commission fell so far short of needs, rail executives said today, that the na tion's railroads remain in a perilous financial condition. "We are glad to have what they gave us," said J.

J. Pelley, president of the Association or American Railroads, but we're disappointed." The Commission's decision, handed down late yesterday, gave the rail roads permission to raise most rates from 5 to 10 percent. Commissioner Joseph B. Eastman estimated the additional revenue would amount to $274,000,000 a year. F.

D. Plans Conference Pelley said a study of the 190-page decision indicated the general freight rate schedule naa Deen boosted only 5 or 6 percent. Railroad spokesmen during the hearings had asked for a 15 percent increase. Following the decision, President Roosevelt announced he would hold a previously-discussed railroad conference at the White House next week. The meeting will consider the whole question of railroad finances.

Those to attend are Chairman Walter M. W. Splawn and Commissioner Eastman of the I. C. Senator Wheeler Representative Lea iD CaU, Carl Gray of the Union Pacific, and George Harrison, representing railway labor.

Milk Increase Barred Increases were specifically refused by the I. C. C. on bituminous coal, lignite, iron ore, fresh milk and cream and refrigeration service. Senator Wheeler, as chairman of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, said he did not believe the increased rates would "materially help" the railroads.

"What the railroads need Is more business," he said. "I cannot see how they can get more business by raising their rates." Calls Lilientlial Hitler of TVA Continued from Page 1 cestors.

TVA Shakeup Foreseen Washington, March 9 (Pj President Roosevelt's determination to obtain a swift showdown in the quarrel among directors of the Tennessee Valley Authority led some observers today to forecast a shakeup in the three-man board. The President ordered the directors to meet at the White House Friday morning. He told a press conference yesterday that the gathering will have one purpose to get the facUs behind charges and counter-charges that have split the TVA board wide open.

The emphasis with which the President spoke gave his hearers the impression he would employ stern measures If necessary to end the di-spute.

T. Station BROOKLVN, N. Itl. M.vlnl 1-2043 UT) Raze Fulton Fast Passage by House Now Seen Certain for LaGuanlia's Measure Call Bureau. Capitol nulldlnt.

Albany. March 9 The New York City Affairs Committee of the Republican Assembly, completing its work for the current session of the Legislature, today favorably report- tnnthcr in the trrirt on Fulton remoio appeart today on Pafe 11 ed out the amended Esquirol-Moritt Fulton St. bill. The measure, supplementing legislation enacted in 1927, authorizes the LaGuardia administration to condemn the whole length of the elevated structure in Brooklyn from Fulton Ferry to Rockaway Ave. The committee sent the measure to the floor of the House for a vote, with Implied recommendation for passage, after ordering technical amendments to make the language of the bill conform to the new City Charter and the city's new administrative code.

Sponsored bv Brooklynites The bill Is sponsored Jointly by two Brooklyn Democrats, Senator Joseph Esquirol of the Flatbush-midtown district and Assemblyman Fred O. Morritt of the Bedford section. While the Assembly committee was taking its action, Senator Esquirol moved to amend the companion bill In the Senate and received assurances from Senator John J. Dunnigan. the Democratic leader, that favorable Senate committee action also would be taken Along with the Fulton St.

removal bill, which has strong backing of civic interests in Brooklyn, the Assembly N. Y. City Affairs Committee, of which Assemblyman Robert J. Crews Brooklyn) is chairman, reported Moritt's bill to permit the city to acquire the property of the Brooklyn and Queens Rapid Transit Company between Dean and Bergen Sts. and Albany and Schenectady Aves.

Opposes Piecemeal Razing The Esquirol-Morritt bill does not confer any new powers on the Board of Estimate but is Intended to prod the board into acting under the powers conferred on it by the Hearn bill, which became law in 1927. Herbert L. Carpenter, chairman Of the Mayor's Committee on Removal of Elevated Structures, said today the chief purpose of the newer bill, as he saw it, was to guard against piecemeal removal of the structure starting with the downtown business district. "An attempt was made In January to have the city take over the downtown section of the 'L' and to route the Fulton St. trains into Myrtle Ave.

via the Hudson Ave. structure," Mr. Carpenter said. "Senator Esquirol told me he was opposed to any such piecemeal removal because it was unfair to the central Brooklyn area. The new bill would authorize the city to acquire and raze the structure to Rockaway Ave.

In one move." Follows Hearn's Plans The bill of Assemblyman Murray Hearn, the present Municipal Court Justice, gave the city the power to take title to the Fulton St. clear to the borough line, to extinguish all franchises and to tear down any part of it and to operate any part of it. It was Hearn's purjxi.se to have the city tear down the structure a.s far east as Rockaway Ave. as soon as the Independent subway was extended to that point, and to operate the rest of the line eastward from there, with free transfer, until such time as the Independent subway would be extended to Queens along Fulton St. The new bill has the same intent and.

further, implies a strong disapproval of any piecemeal removal Vest of Rockaway Ave. ANNOUNCEMENTS Personal 9 2 WILL nr be for dHi's by ar.v one other Erinwrd E. -MJ Melx.nr.:,i;h Brook. vn. Sew" jersey Bm.i;w" mm bought.

Foes Warned By Chautemps Continued from Page 1 dence in Parliament on each piece of legislation. Opposition came from Socialists who form the largest party bloc in the Chamber of Deputies. They were reluctant to grant decree powers without membership in the cabinet to check on its action. Communists also were hostile.

Chautemps and most of his cabinet are Radical Socialists. They stand midway between extreme conservatism and leftism. Problems before Chautemps were 1938 government expenses of about $1,820,000,000 plus a special armament budget of diminished industrial production; persistent labor unrest, and fluctuation of the franc, attributed to economic uncertainty. Mother of 6 Faces Milk Theft Charge Patrolman Thomas Falls of the Liberty Ave. precince told Magistrate Malbin in Pennsylvania Avenue Court today that he had arrested Mrs.

Mary Smith, 32, of 1598 East New York at Rockaway and Livonia at 6 a.m. today, when he discovered three bottles of milk and a jar of cottage checs in her market bag. He said that Mrs. Smith had been collecting the milk from doorsteps, and charges her with petty larceny. Mrs.

Smith told the court that she has six children to feed and that her husband left her six months ago. She said that she had been on relief until two weeks ago, when relief authorities removed her from the rolls and told her to find her husband and make him support her. After hearing her story the magistrate paroled her until March 17 and directed relief authorities to investigate the case.

The lads are William Prescott, 17. of 490 9th a pupil at Manual Training High School, and Thomas Mulqueen, 16. of 821 Union and John Coles, 17. of 483 5th students at a vocational school in Manhattan. Arraigned before Magistrate Matthew J.

Troy in Brooklyn Felony Court, they were held for hearing Friday. Bail was set at $2000 each for Coles and Prescott and $1,000 for Mulqueen. Also arrested and accused of receiving stolen goods was Henry Heitz. 56. of 530 2d who owns a candv store at 95 7th Ave.

He was held in $5,000 bail. Detectives Martin Tyrell and Edward Quinn. of the Parkville station, who were assigned to halt a series of stationery store burglaries in the area, found the three youngsters on a corner at 7th Ave. and Union at 2 a.m. todav.

The trio said they were waiting for a 7th Ave. trolley and the detectives drove off. They parked their car a block away, however, and returned to watch the boys. When several trol leys went by and the youths made no effort to get aboard they were picked up and brought to the Park ville precinct. There they admitted, according to police, the series of burglaries.

Among them was the theft of $48 in cigarettes and candy from the store of Patrick Maloney. of 234 Prospect Park West on Feb. 16, for which they were booked. Transit Head Raps Seabury Statement Theodore S. Watson, vice president of the Manhattan Railway Company and director of both the Inter-borough Rapid Transit Company and the Manhattan said today that the recent Seabury-Berle statement would not solve the city's transit problem because it was "intemperate and inaccurate In essential respects." "They say the Board of Transit Control bonds that were to be issued to Interborough and Manhattan security holders were expected to sell as a discount of at least The fact Is that we were assured that those bonds would sell at par." he said.

He termed the report "an effort to confuse the public over a matter that is a comparatively simple business proposition but a very difficult political one." "will have to do more than put figures on a piece of paper to prove convincingly to the public that a price of $170,213,580, with fixed charges of less than $6,800,000 a year is a higher price than $238,251 -000 with fixed charges of a year. "Surely no normal person be- berome owner of the Manhattan l.eves that the city has a chance to' Railway Company because the Fed- eral judge has not yet forced the Interborough to pay the unpaid taxes which are an obligation of the Interborough." Rotary Club Backs Eagle's Campaign to Demolish Fulton The Brooklyn Rotary Club at a luncheon meeting in the Bosert Hotel today joined the long list of organizations indorsing the campaign of The Eagle to tear down the Fulton St. elevated structure. The resolution follows: 'Whereas the Fulton St. elevated lias long since been obsolete and 1 the worst- kind of an eyesore in the heart of Brooklyn, and I its continuance is not only damaging to all adjoiningp rop- ertv but, also holds back the mod- ionization and improvement of the principal business thoroughfare in our borouuh.

Parker were signed here today by Federal Judge Rob ert A. Inch in an effort to bring the Parkers from New Jersey to Brooklyn to answer an indictment handed up yesterday by the Febru ary Federal grand jury, charging them with kidnaping Paul H.

Peace Move Halts Japanese Drive Shanghai, March 9 (U.R) Japanese diplomats sought a third Power today willing to Instigate new negotiations for peace.

Neutral military observers predicted a "political interlude" in the war before the Japanese attempt to force their way across the Yellow River against Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's "Maginot Line" defending the railway and the national capital at Hankow. Although it was believed almost certain that the Japanese would not halt until they captured Hankow, once they crossed the Yellow River, observers beileved that the Japanese command would prefer to end the costly war if China would agree to Tokio's demands. On the other hand. Chinese and foreign circles at Hongkong said it was unlikely that Chinese officials would be willing to talk peace at present in view of the relatively successful defense of the Lung-Hai and Tientsin-Nanking Railway fronts. Peace moves were being made here and in Hongkong, reportedly with British and Italian support.

Diplomats said that the Japanese so far have been unable to induce a third Power to mediate. New DeathCertif icate Keeps Cause Secret In order that the Health Department may obtain more complete data, a new death certificate form, one part of which will be confidential, has been devised and will be used in Manhattan and the Bronx for an experimental period. The form will include three sections, instead of two as previously, with the new section to contain specific Information on the cause of death. The plan will permit the department to learn how many deaths result from such causes as syphilis, alcoholism or the use of narcotics. The detachable section will not be given out for the collection of insurance or other purposes.
