A permanent committee under the direction of Patrick Cardinal Hayes remains today to carry on the work of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine meeting which closed last night at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel with an address by the Mast Rev. Amleto Giovanni CIcognani, Apostolic Delegate to the United States. There is urgent need for the truths of faith In remedying the trials which face nearly every nation in the world.

Bishop Cicognanl declared. "More than the nations have need of God," he said. Discussing the theme of the conference, which was to extend the teaching of the catechism, especially among Catholic children in public schools, the Apostolic Delegate declared that this is the true fountain of life In the fullest sense of the word."

President Roosevelt addressed a letter of appreciation to Dr. Park in recognition of his 38 years of work for the city. His message was read during the dedication by Dr. Rice.

Among other speakers were Mayor LaGuardls, Dr. August Wadsworth, director of laboratories of the State Health Department, and Dr. James P. Leake of the United States Public Health Service. Mayor LaGuardia outlined the story behind the new $700,000 eight-story health center and recognized the opening of the building as a triumph over legislative hindrances which have slowed down the development of experimental stations of this type.

He declared, however, that a PWA grant for the Park building was issued without serious delay. State Considers Bids On Channel lor Fair Speciul to The Eagle Albany, Oct. 7 Bids for the con The speaker was Capi. Stephen A. Crowley, commanding officer of the Brooklyn Ave.

"We must take that action to prevent an outbreak of assaults and robberies by thugs who frequent these lovers' lane sections." The area patrolled by the captain's precinct has been a favorite spot for petting parties because it is an outlying section with many-dark streets seldom traversed by automobiles or pedestrians.

Tickets for Parking: "A short time ago one couple was held up, their car stolen and later used in the commission of two robberies that same evening. It is because we must prevent the possibility of any crime outbreak that may threaten or endanser these couples that we are going to enforce this curlew." he said. Tickets for parking without lights will be given to all parked motorists who are in streets traversed by traffic. Warnings will be given the couples that they must depart by midnight by the policeman on post.

"Will you take any action against any couple refusing to obey the curfew?" he was asked. Cop Loves a Lover "We've always found these couples willing to co-operate when we explained the situation to them, and I don't anticipate any trouble. Should any one refuse to move we'll cross that bridge when we come to it," he said. "But make this clear. I'm not against lovers.

In fact, I'm one of heed planes by Mr. Roosevelt and his associates." At another point in the deposition an associate of young Roosevelt was represented as threatening to turn "the heat" on if Fakker did not go through with the contract. This man was identified in the deposition only as "Mr. Stratton" but Elliott Roosevelt said J. W.

Stratton. an airplane salesman, was associated with him in the sales agreement. The deposition said that Tiffany. Fokker's representative, "stated in Mr. Fokker's presence that he, Mr.

Tiffany, had complained to Mr. Stratton that he did not, like the contract ueeause it was one-sided against Mr. Fokker and entirely in favor of Mr. Roosevelt." Tiffany said, the document continued, "that Mr. Stratton had informed him that he had better go through with the contract and that they had had contracts with other people who had also not liked those contracts but had through with them after Mr.

Stratton had turned on the heat. "Mr. Fokker stated his satisfaction with Mr. Tiffany's method of concluding in the way he did, involving a cash payment of $5,000 for Mr. Roosevelt, and the payment of a further check of $6,666 through a brokerage house which it was difficult for Mr.

Elliott Roosevelt to accept in view of the President's dispute with Wall Street at the time. Roosevelt's Story Differs "Mr. Tiffany and Mr. Fokker both stated that the check had never been cashed or returned but that "THROUGH THREE GENERATIONS, BOND HAS BEEN OUR BREAD CHOICE" Fokker, airplane manufacturer, that Elliott Roosevelt, 25-year-old son ol the President, contracted in 1934 to tell 50 military planes to Russia (or a $500,000 commission. Soon after aides of the Senate Munitions Committee had marie pubic the sworn statement, winch said the sale was never m.de because the price asked of the Russians was too young Roosevelt denied he ever asreed to sell military planes to any government.

He contracted with Fokker, he rSaid, to represent the aviation man in the saie of commercial truisport planes to private foreign corporations. There was a specific papulation, he said, that ha was not to tell to any government. Youns Roosevelt, who Is at Oklahoma City, told the Port Worth tTex Star Telecram in a telephone interview that such a fiiture a $500,000 tor a commission was never mentioned. Whereas the deposition attributed to Fokker said the President's son had been paid $5,000 cash under the unfulfilled contract, Roosevelt said he never received a dollar personally, although $5,000 went to a salesman associated with him. Offers to Produce Contract He said he himself terminated the contract without trying to sell a plane.

"I have a copy of the contract, he told the Fort Worth paper. All this is in black and white and I shall be glad at any time to present it to the Munitions Committee alons with a complete "tuition of all the statements allegedly made bv Mr. Fokker." Fokker was quoted as saying he considered the price asked ol the Russians for the 50 planes was "notably excessive." "The (Fokker) has been persuaded by Mr. (Elliott) Roosevelt and Mr. Roosevelt's associate.

Mr. Stratton, that Mr. Roosevelt had enough influence with the Import and Export Bank and the Russian purchasing commission, then in the country, to swing the deal at that excessive price," the deposition said. It quoted Carter Tiffany of New York Fokker's American business representative, as declaring that a third party had told him that President Roosevelt approved the contract, but put his foot down on a plan for his son and Fokker to go abroad to sell planes. Fokker, the document said, had wanted Elliott Roosevelt to make the trip "to attempt to sell airplanes to various foreign governments, counting on the willingness of high foreign officials to receive Mr.

Roosevelt as the son of the American President." Calls Statement False Young Roosevelt, who declared that "this story comes originally from Republican sources," declared: "With regard to all conversations and reported conversations which had reference to my father, I desire to state that they are false in their entirety and that at no time did the question of father's participation or knowledge of the transaction enter into my discussion with Mr. Fokker." The deposition was made public unexpectedly here last night. Munitions Committee aides said it was taken Sept. 12, and was made public now on instructions from Chairman Nye N. D.i because of published charges that information was being withheld from the public.

There wa no immediate comment from tiie White House. The 50 planes involved wi re of the Lockheed clectra type, Fokker being a sales agent for that plane, in addition to his other interests. Under qurstior.ir.z by Nye investigators, Fokker was said to have described Elliott Roosevelt and a business associate as because "no action had beep, taken toward the successful sale of Lock- I Completely Resized I I I Parti Re- VlLalr FREE Ull pift-up nd ii-rnrr II rlrx l.it Fittlnt 1 1 I (all BI'ekmliMter Mr. Tiffany had finally stopped payment on it." Elliott Roosevelt's account was different. He said that in May, 1934, he asked to be released from the contract with Fokker.

"He wanted nie to go through with it." Roosevelt said, "and I refused and he released me. I believe he has held it against me. and that may be an explanation of this deposition. "Some time in May of that year the Fokker organization in New York mailed me a check for I notified them I was not accepting it and was tearing it up; that the contract was off. 1 believv the bank va.s then notified to stop payment on the check." He declared the contract had provided that he was to receive $20,000 salary for one year, with $30,000 salary for the second year if mutually agreeable.
