April (U.P) -Bainbridge Colby, 80, who las Secretary of State under President Wilson handled this nation's first touchy relations with Soviet Russia, died at his home here last night of a heart attack. Colby, an internationally known lawyer, had been ill 10 days, His death was announced by his widow, the former Mrs.

Joseph N. Ely, whom he ried in 1929 after his first wife. a novelist, whom he accused of ridiculing him in her writings about men in public life, won a divorce. A Bull Moose Progressive under Theodore Roosevelt, Colby switched his allegiance to Woodrow Wilson who appointed him Secretary of State' 1920 for the last year of his Presidential term. As Secretary of State, he inaugurated the first U.

S. policy of non-recognition of the newly formed Soviet Government. In a recent statement to the United Press, Colby asserted that present difficulties with the Russians could been avoided had the U. followed have, the non-recognition policy which lasted until President Franklin D. Roosevelt took office.

An active public figure for 50 years-although his only elec-" tive office was one term in the New York State Assembly 1901-Colby gained Mark Twain, (Samuel Clemens) as one of his first clients in his law career. Clemens became his fast friend after he straightened out the author's tangled affairs with his publishing house. Colby frequently switched, his political allegiance, joining Theodore Roosevelt's Bull Moose bolters in 1916. But when Mr. declined a second Procressived party nominaItion for President, Colby accused the former President of breaking his pledge to the Progressives, and supported Wilson in the 1916 campaign.

Della, 15: Louisa, 7, and Madeline, 1, were at their Virginia home when informed of his death. Ponzi was born Andrew Million Rise Asked for Police Continued from Page 1 O'Dwyer took occasion to question the five commissioners.

Objects to Increases This came during remarks by Harold Riegelman, speaking for the Citzens Budget Commission, objecting to modifications and increases in the budget. The Mayor then asked the five commissioners what increases they sought. Commissioner O'Brien said the tentative allocation to the Police Department, $103,543,257, would barely keep Police Department at its present 1000 level. whereas the city needs a force, which would cost an additional 516,800. said the added $3,776,000 was an "urgent" re- quirement.

Asks 19 Million Boost Hospitals Commissioner Marcus D. Kogel asked that the $20.000.000 allocation be increased to $99,000,000. The Fire Department asked an added $2,152,000, the SanitaItion Department, $8,847,000, and the Department of Welfare $21,000,000. The list of headaches facing the city included the threat of a "quickie" half day transit strike next Monday, the possibility of a fare rise, hinted at by the Mayor, and a warning from the Citizens Budget Commission that the budget means a tax rise of 19 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, plus a boost in the valuation itself. Michael Quill, Transport Workers Union president, said 10,000 subway workers may be out.

The Mayor, meanwhile, declared the budget will not be changed to include pay raises for any other employes, no matter how justified, "because there is no more money for in- creases." Door Left Open He left the door open for a possible transit fare increase when he declared that no money would be taken from the new budget to 'meet deficits on the rapid transit lines, steadily mounting.

In the latest development the prosecutor's move to impanel a blue ribbon jury was vigorously opposed by Burton Turkus, attorney for Samuel Jacobs, 41. co-owner of Jiggs Smoke Shop at 23 Willoughby where it is charged Jacobs took bets from students of Long Island University and Brooklyn Law School. Jacobs and two other men are charged with bookmaking and bookmaking conspiracy and have been indicted.

What is so involved about a bookmaking charge?" There will be further argument on the blue ribbon motion, pressed by Assistant Prosecutor Aaron Koota, Monday and case may go to trial May 8. Turkus, who gained fame a prosecutor, had used many blue blue-ribbon Money panels in members bringing justice.

Lepke's Name Crops Up On direct examination by Cone Catalano had intimated Parisi did the killing because Diamond was giving information to then Manhattan District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey against Louis (Lepke) Buchalter, the Murder for Money gang's master murderer. He told how he, Catalano, drove the getaway car after Diamond was shot down in front of his home at 18th Ave. and 68th St. on May 25, 1939.

He said the killer was "Jackie," a gunman who "looked like" Parisi. He even stepped up to Parisi in the defendant's chair and said he "looks like the guy" who did the Diamond murder job. Changes Testimony But on cross examination by Hyman Barshay, defense lawyer, Catalano's testimony took a different turn. Asked whether the killer was in the courtroom, the witness answered that he was not. Barshay at once moved that all Catalano's testimony be stricken from the record, since it did not refer to the man on trial.

C. Dewey Vetoes Bill To Oust 'Unsafe' Railroad Workers Special to the Brooklyn Eagle Albany, April 12-Governor Dewey today vetoed a bill to weed out "accident prone" operating employes of railroads by the Public Service sion. The measure was an outgrowth of the recent Rockville Centre, L. train wreck that claimed the lives of 32 persons. The Governor said the measure conflicted with Federal statutes and would place a hopeless administrative, burden on the P.

would have been required to review records of all railroad employes with a view to discharging those whose records indicated their continued employment would endanger public safety. Enacted into law by the Governor's signature was the bill providing a possible life sentence for persons guilty of sex crimes involving violence or abuse of children. Mental Tests Required The legislation gave the courts power to impose sentences ranging from one day to life for sex offenders. The measure was an outgrowth of a two-year study of 102 Sing Sing inmates and other sex criminals. It requires an initial psychiatric examination before sentencing, another inside of six months and thereafter every two years for the duration of the term.

The Governor, explained in signing the measure that the basic purpose behind the bill was to give judges discretion in determining the length of sentence so that hopeless offenders can be kept locked up and cured ones released. He pointed out that "sex aberrations are symptoms of underlying emoItional disorders." Dewey also signed a bill authorizing an unlimited scolarship program to relieve the shortage of doctors and tists. The measure fixed the of State medical and dental scholarships at $750 annually for four years and removed the maximum limit on the numthat might be granted by the Board of Regents. Vet Scholarships The bill also created an additional 1,200 war-service scholar. ships worth $1,400 over a fouryear period.

He vetoed a bill to grant civil service employes a hearing before they could be removed for misconduct or incompetence. Only veterans, policemen, firemen and a few other classes of State and local government workers are entitled to such a hearing at present. Another disapproved measure would have granted free license plates to motor vehicles constructed for use as circulating libraries. Henry H. Meyer The funeral of Henry H.
