The Gaine Mutiny PTouk Non-Fiction Prisoners' Pond Was Favorite Or Swimming Hole Editor Old Timers: The letter of Tommy Mad-den's anent Mickey Mcdonough in the "Old-Timers" section of the Eagle brought back some happy memories of the old 9th Ward of Brooklyn. The section, I believe where was The Kings County grand jury investigating housing decay and its causes ought to give lots of attention to overlapping jurisdictions of various departments.

Despite the stepped-up drive against hazardous housing and -widespread recognition of the housing cancer growing in our midst, complainants still find themselves shunted from one department to another. Fire hazards are the ones that seem to cause the most confusion. Sometimes the Fire Department acts and sometimes it doesn't. In the latter instances, the department suggests calling the Department of Housing and Buildings or the Health Department. The rub there that often it ia difficult to find out which of the two Agencies will MMNM jurisdiction.

If the building is a multiple dwelling (three or more apartments) Housing and Buildings will listen. But if the complainant lives in a one- or two-family house which has been illegally converted to multiple occupancy, he's really got troubles. Housing and Buildings is likery fo pass the buck to the Health Department because the house isn't "listed'' as a multiple dwelling. And the Health Department may-toss the ball right back because the building is actually a multiple dwelling regardless of its legal status. Granted the situation isn't new.

But something immediate and effective ought to be done about it. in the opinion of victims of red tape and those who are concerned about housing. Consolidation of all the inspection sen ices in one department would promote efficiency, probably save a few lives and save taxpayers' money in the bargain. that shifting formerly Manhattan-bound lane on the Manhattan Bridge to the use of Brooklyn-bound motorist Is the "lesser of two I evils." He concedes that it has slowed morning rush-hour Manhattan-bound traffic a mite. The commissioner insists, however, that.

the change has benefited Brooklyn in that It has helped trucks and other vehicles get tr Brooklyn with a minimum of delay. Before the change, he says, Brooklyn-bound trucks and tars used to come to a standstill all the way to the Holland Tunnel whenever there was a breakdown on the Brooklyn-bound lower level. He pointed out that such delays hart Brooklyn business. And, while he didn't say so, it was evident that Wiley felt a lot of Brooklynites who jam their cars into Manhattan dally ought to leave the antomobiles home and take the snbway. Dear Champion of Your note left us cold.

You're not a champion of truth or anything else. If you were, you would have-signed your name. You didn't even have the courage to identify the "high public official" you accused of taking bribes. Cad (iuagenti of lfil 41st St. hails the return of sirens to ambulances and calls for stiff penalties for motorists who fail to give the emergency vehicles the right-of-way.

He's an ambulance driver. The Brooklyn Municipal Building switchboard is overloaded from 9 to about 10:30 a.m. dally, causing inefficiency and loss of valuable working time for those trying to reach various departments in the- building. Public Works officials, who control the building, ought to look into the matter. 1.

I. Individual taxpayers then would get relief at the same time the corporation excess profits tax expires.

President Eisenhower has insisted that the budget must be balanced before taxes: are reduced. If the excess profits levy ia permitted to lapse July 1. he wants Congress to make r.p the lost revenue. The President is taking no financial chances. He's willing to decontrol prices but not fiscal policy.

Medicine for Deflation More than a balanced budget is at issue. If the President, were concerned about inflation, about a prolongation of the decline in farm prices, and perhaps attendant unemployment, he would not mind a cut in taxes. Some forehanded pumping out of cash tr consumers would make sense. But, apparently, the President wants to be in a position to balance the budget even if defense expenditures go up. Meanwhile, the big consumer news is the drop in beef prices.

Housewives now can "feed the brute" with red meat without taking an installment loan. This Is traceable directly to a record number of beef cattle on The big fall in hog prices and numbers came earlier (see chart Prosperity high consumer income runs to beef rather than pork. Another hit of good consumer news is the entire body is weakened. suits. Of course Washington grew to a memoership of luring its second vear.

A war of nerves cut two ways. And It lifts business analysis out of its customary bailiwick. So pity the poor business analyst. What a life! What can he do with his basic data? Carloadings are down 5 percent from a year ago, farm prices 11 percent, wholesale prices 3 percent. So what? Production of automobiles and trucks is 45 percent higher than at this time last year.

Electric power and steel output are both up 8 percent. Weekly earnings of factory workers are up 7 percent. Department store sales are just a little bit better. Again, what of it? Or what of the encouraging knowledge that starts in January ran along at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,150,000, which is excellent even by high postwar standards0 Or that persons receiv ing unemployment payments are down VI percent from a year ago? A Change in Raiment Those fingertip facts won't help the business analyst appraise what Eisenhower's up to. They won't unveil what the Kremlin's answer will be.

These days, the analyst is forced to change his raiment and become a military and diplomatic strategist. He must guess what the defense program will be. All else is peanuts. to get In touch, for old times' sake, with three very good friends who lived on York St. near KrinVe nr St.
