Charged with criminally receiving stolen goods after police broke up a stolen bicycle ring that operated widely in Brooklyn and Queens, Juan Montalvo, 48, of 1046 DeKalb was today in Felony Court before Magistrate Charles Solomon.

Montalvo, who operates a store at 11 Reid remained held in $500 bail for trial in Special Sessions despite his claim that he had no knowledge that a bicycle found in his store had been stolen. He said it had been left there for repair by a person whose name he didn't know. Two others held in connection with the ring's activities are Michael Irrizarry, of 468 Bushwick and William Corwin, 16, of 187 Stanhope St. Legalites Vying For M'Grath Post Continued from Page 1 over John Preussen, Counsel, Assistant Corporation Counsel. For months it had been rumored in political circles that McGrath was planning to resign to take over a reported private law practice.

Prior to his appointment at City Hall, McGrath, a power in Brooklyn Democratic politics, was a law associate of former Judge president of Edward the East A. Richards, Savings Bank. McGrath was counsel to and a trustee of the bank. McGrath had planned to quit last April after he returned from a trip to Europe with Mrs. At that time O'Dwyer convinced the Brooklyn attorney he should continue.

Later, when rhubarb O'Dwyer got into a political with Borough President Cashmore, McGrath refused to budge out of his office, despite threats from City Hall. It was evident by McGrath's surprise announcement that he was upsetting a prearranged timetable with Mayor Impellitteri. Mayor and McGrath had discussed the latter's resignation for several months and they were supposed to exchange letters whereby McGrath would quit on Sept. 15. This would have given Impellitteri enough time, without any pressures, to make his arrangements for a new corporation counsel.

However, Michael J. Quill, president of the Transport Workers Union, C. 1. manded that McGrath be dismissed because of alleged private business activities. This blast riled the Brooklyn attor.

ney who, when informing reporters of his plans to quit, declared: "I'll be damned if I'll stay another year just to keep him (Quill) from claiming it. him I have no intention of letting confuse my plans which became fixed some time ago." Quill became anti-McGrath when the latter charged that the labor leader was "irreI sponsible" in the attempt to unionize the city's police force.

Chief grievances listed the union against Jeffe's admislations include "unnecesistration of company union resary" elimination of jobs, his alleged refusal to meet with union representatives to discuss grievances and his alleged refusal to comply with certain agreements regarding job reductions and severance pay made with the union by Gonnoud. Leonard Behr, president of the local, stated that the company's, recent conversion to natural gas had forced a reduction in the number of jobs, but that Jeffe had disregarded provisions of the contract which runs through next Jnue.
