Lehrenkrauss Officers Sued Fulton Service Firm Charges Juggling In Series of Notes A suit to void notes aggregating $27,100 that formed a series of merry-go-round financial transactions in the Lehrenkrauss organizations, beginning in August, 1933, and ending in January, 1934. has been filed in Supreme Court by the Pulton Service Corporation. This concern acquired all the assets of the Lehrenkrauss Corporation, and it seeks to compel the named defendants to make good the amount allegedly taken. The defendants are Herman Rich-ter, John Kaiser, J. Lester M.

He left for home after first-aid treatment at the Institution.

The fire was discovered shortly after midnight. Four alarms were turned In during the six-hour battle which followed, bringing 40 pieces of apparatus and approximately 200 firemen. Three police emergency squads and as many ambulances also were at the scene. Fireman Lyons, among the first to arrive, opened the iron door at the top of a freight elevator leading from the cellar to the sidewalk in front of the building. With Mc-Gloin, Hall, Crowley and Fireman Richard Weisenreider, 29, of 831 68th Lyons climbed down Into the smoke-filled basement by means of a ladder.

The cellar Is used as a storeroom for merchandise. The five firemen found the place aflame and were driven back, but as they ascended to the street Lyons lost his grip and collapsed. The others attempted to rescue him but were unsuccessful. Firemen Flood Cellar Ten feet of water from high-pressure hose filled the cellar during the next few hours, but despite the tremendous amount of water the flames cut through the first floor and then climbed steadily to pierce the roof. A bell which warns pedestrians that the elevator entrance is opened tolled mournfully for two hours while the fire-fighters tried again and again to get Lyons.

A number of priests waited on the sidewalk to give last rites to the fireman and one of them volunteered to descend into the cellar but Assistant Fire Chief Joseph O'Hanlon refused to give permission to undertake the dangerous venture. The Department of Water Supply, Gas Electricity furnished several air compressors and members of the police emergency squads drilled Into Fire on the Bounty Rescue ship circles the burning boat Bounty, two miles oft Manhattan Beach.

(Wide World photo.) 4 Recuperating After Rescue From Blazing Cabin Cruiser (1 STREET and DINNER LACE DRESSES for your every Spring and Summer need States Unite to Better Parole National Co-operation Needed to Increase Efficiency, He Savs Washington, April 17 MP Governor Lehman called today for national co-operation enabling parole of criminals "to make its fullest contribution to the community as an integral part of the public's offensive and defensive campaign against crime." New York's executive, addressing the National Parole Conference, asserted such an accomplishment can come only by Joining militant public opinion with adequate appropriations, wise laws and effective administration. Asserting the parole system deals with persons who have failed to conform with demands of their communities, Lehman maintained that "in self defense we cannot afford to refuse them help to regain their footing among honest people." Unification Is Urged "Until the public realizes that it has dropped its medieval protection against crime and has not yet grasped an effective modern protection, we will continue to defend ourselves with brittle sticks against the machine guns of modern criminal activity," he said. The Governor declared an effective parole system in one or a dozen States is not sufficient because "a prisoner improperly paroled in any part of the country weakens the parole system everywhere." "The public can get what it wants in parole," he said. "The answer to weak, vacillating, corrupt parole is not the abolition of parole but the community courage to compel impartial, effective, honest parole." Murphy Urges U. S.

Grants Attorney Generla Murphy suggested that Federal grants to the States might prove a possible solution of thhe parole problem. He charged that the administration of parole always had been "a source of scandal" and deserved "a thorough job of housecleaning." True rehabilitation can be achieved, Murphy concluded, only with a "modern parole system under unified, central control, free from venal politics, administered by a trained, competent staff, and equipped with every techniaue and device that modern science can provide." Boy Held for Grand Jury On Manslaughter Count William Cassidy, 18, of 856 Euclid was held in $1,000 bail for the grand jury after a hearing today before Magistrate Troy in Felony Court on a charge of manslaughter.

Omnis Corporation, of which Rich-i ter was president, was a holding I corporation for the real estate of the Lehrenkrauss CorDoration. which i acquired all of its stock from J. Leh- renicrauss ac sons in September, 1933. Charge 'Stripping' A month prior to this shift in stock ownership, the complaint declares, the Omnis Corporation began making "to itself" a series of 79 promissory notes.

They were Indorsed and turned over to J. Lehrenkrauss Sons, although the officers of the latter concern knew the recipient company was insolvent. An officer of the "Sons" company then indorsed the notes over to the Lehrenkrauss Corporation, which, according to the complaint, paid a valuable consideration. In this way, it Is charged, the Lehrenkrauss Cor poration, by reason of having money in its treasury to pay the notes, "was systematically stripped." It was this "stripping." the com- plaint continues, which necessitated I the reorganization in which the Pulton Service Corporation acquired I its assets. The suit further seeks to fasten responsibility of the officers as Individuals because it was their duty to know that both the Omnis Corporation and J.

Lehrenkrauss fc Sons were insolvent and unable to pay the notes. The notes were entered on the books of the Lehrenkrauss Corporation as good, valid and collectible assets, it is alleged, although "to the knowledge of all the defendants" they were not collectible.

Of fers Changes In Labor Act Burke Outlines Plan To Revamp NLRB Before Senate Group Washington, April 17. (m Demanding fundamental changes In the Wagner Labor Act, Senator Burke Neb.) charged today that the National Labor Relations Board has been "wholly biased and unfair." Burke 'outlined to the Senate Labor Committ a series of proposed amendments to the labor law which he said were designed to effect a lasting peace between employers and employes. Would Revamp Setup The amendments would revamp the present three-member labor i board to give representation to em- ployes, employers and the public; would free employes from 'interference, restraint or coercion from any source and would permit employers to request elections tt determine which union was to represent their workers. In addition, his amendments would require that a majority of all eligible employes approve a union before the union could represent them.

Under present law, the labor board has ruled that only a majority of those voting is necessary. Sees Impossible Situations' Burke said there was a "widespread conviction" that a board representing workers, employers and the public would go far toward relieving what he termed "an impossible situation." "Needless to say, employers and the public feel that the cards are stacked against them," he asserted. "The employer feels that he is prejudged, that he is to be found guilty of whatever Is charged against him if by any stretch of authority such a finding can be made." Burke said he could not see "how even-handed justice can be expected to come from a body of men who are partisan advocates of one side of every cause that comes before it." L. I. Nurses Head Raps Bill in Albany The Mahoney-Stephens bill, pending before the legislature at Albany, which would provide for the licensing of nurses for children, was criticized today by Mrs.

Dorothy McLaughlin, R. president of the Purses Association of the "Counties of Long Island, Inc. "The Nurse Practice act, which was enacted last year, was sponsored by nurses primarily for public protection," Mrs. McLaughlin said. "After July, 1940, it admits to the practice of nursing only qualified registered professional and practical nurses who are licensed after graduation from schools approved by the State Department of Educa tion.

"There Is now before the State Legislature a proposed amendment to this law which has been intro- duced by Assemblyman Stephens and Senator Mahoney and which I was written in the Interest of a small number of institutions unwilling to meet the standards now set by law. This amendment is not drafted for public protection nor do I we believe that the institutions which sponsor It would be meeting the standards outlined by the American Medical Association." Mrs. McLaughlin asserted the proposed amendment was "a question- able measure."

The cause of the fire was not determined and no estimate of the damage was made by the Kresge firm. Fire Marshal Thomas P.

Brophy began an Immediate investigation. It was thought possible that a cigarette carelessly thrown before the store closed at 11 p.m., Saturday, may have smouldered all day yesterday before the fire reached highly inflammable merchandise kept in the cellar. The second alarm brought Assistant Chief George T. McAleer, He ordered a third alarm at 1:50 a.m. and a fourth at 2:30.

Emergency Hospital Set Up An emergency hospital was set up for smoke-poisoned firemen in a food store at 6712 Bay Parkway. The blaze threatened to spread to that establishment, however, and the injured men were removed on stretchers to another shop at 6812 Bay Parkway and later to the meeting room of the Captains Democratic Club of the 16th A. D. at 6705 Bay Parkway. The most modern appartus of the Fire Department was rushed to the scene.

This included a searchlight wagon whose powerful rays were used to pierce the billowing smoke, smoke ejectors, engines which shot chemicals into the cellar and other engines designed to pump out the water which flooded it. Adjoining stores at 6704 and 6712 Bay Parkway were damaged by water but not otherwise affected by the fire. Bus traffic along" Bay Parkway was rerouted at 71st St. along 23d Ave. 'to 65th St, between midnight and 6 a.m.

Among the firemen treated at the scene were Acting Battalion Chief Francis Moylan of the 33d Battalion and Capt. Francis Sullivan of Engine Company 253. The emergency hospital operated under the direction of Dr. Finestone, Fire Department surgeon, with the Rev. Merritt Yeager, chaplain for Brooklyn and Queens, standing by to administer last rites if these were necessary.

Police work at the blaze was supervised by Inspector Camille Pierne of the 10th Division.
