Windsor 9-6540 7315 15th Ave BEnsonhurst 6-2561 Lewis Valentine Dies At 64 of Liver Ailment Continued from Page of climbing a ladder. For ten late.

Richard E. Enright, who resigned in 1926 after seven years 11 months and three days as Commissioner. Mr. Valentine's appointment by Mayor LaGuardia in 1934-when he was picked out of the sticks and from the rank of captain for the highest post in the department--was as an officer and patrolman which the capstone of a career of 81 years had earned him the designation of the "honest cop." It was a rugged, battling career which brought him the enmity of men in high places, men who could and did use their Infuence to "break" him time and again. He was one of the hardier trees that grew in Brooklyn.

The grim, square -jawed, six-foot policeman had never hesitated to do what he regarded as his duty, regardless of the consequences to himself. His testimony of the links he had discovered between professional gamblers and political clubs turnished some of the more sensational chapters of the Seabury investiga- tion. Fought Police Corruption He was equally uncompromising in rooting out corruption and incompetence among police officers. His accession to the post of Commissioner at first sent a shiver of dread through the department. Newspaper articles told of police officers being "Jittery," and every suicide in the department WAS played up in the press with the implication that it had been caused by the strain of attempting to measure up to an impossible standard.

Statistics made available later, however, showed that the suicide rate in the Police Department was no greater than in other groups of men of like size, and despite the commissioner's stern discipline every honest member of the force eventually learned that he had nothing to fear from him. Here was a man who stood ready to uphold what he believed to be right, and the rank and file of the department soon learned that their chief would not "let them down." He became known as a "cop's cop" and was held in the highest respect and esteem by the great majority of the men serving under him. The former police commissioner always insisted that his men be crack shots although he himself was only fair with the pistol. After, he took office as commissioner he raised the compulsory revolver practice from a minimum of three to six days a year. His constant advice to his men, however, was "be gentle, but be tough." Born in Williamsburg on March 19, 1882, the son of John Valentine and the former Elizabeth Daly, he used to remark that he could not remember the time when he did not hope to become a policeman or a fireman.

But as soon as he finished his studies at Manual Training High School he got a job as delivery boy for Abraham Straus. By the time he cast his first vote he was put in charge of a shipping point for that department store out in Greenport, a hub at that time of eastern Long Island. Ten Years a Patrolman Becoming bored. by a humdrum mercantile took examinations for both the Police and Fire Departments. The police got him first, so he began walking a beat years he patrolled Manhattan and Flatbush.

On Oct. 15, 1913, he won his sergeant's stripes. Through Honest Dan Costigan he became a member of the famed confidential squad. Wasting no time in rooting out crime and corruption, he soon made enemies among the powers on 14th St. and in the course of time he was exiled to "Siberia." That was back in 1914.

He continued his studies, however, and he became a lieutenant on Nov. 21, 1917. In opposing a a a a a a a a candidate of missioner Richard E. Enright for the presidency of the Lieutenants Benevolent Association he aroused the fury of his superior and Valentine again was in trouble. Once more he was transferred to an outand A studied his manual.

He took the lying post. Here he walked his beat examination for captain and won high place on the list. But when the time for promotion came men lower on the list, were promoted over Valentine's head. Promoted Under McLaughlin George V. McLaughlin became police commissioner and then Lieutenant Valentine began to climb rapidly through the police grades.

January, 1926, he was made an acting captain and two months later was made captain. In July of same year he was appointed a deputy inspector and in October he became a full inspector. A little more than a year later he was named deputy chief inspector. When Grover Whalen became lice commissioner he demoted the deputy chief inspector to captain. Some time later Judge Samuel Seabury's investigation started and Valentine went on the witness stand, where he told a startling story political intrigue.

After the smoke of battle had cleared and Fiorello H. LaGuardia had taken office as Mayor, he made Gen. John J. O'Ryan commissioner, with Valentine as chief inspector. When General O'Ryan resigned Sept.

24, 1934, Mayor LaGuardia appointed Valentine commissioner, post he held until September, 1945. During his 11 years as commissioner Valentine brought the Police Department of the metropolis to so high a level that it attracted the attention of law enforcement bodies throughout the civilized world. The day following his resignation Commissioner Valentine began radio career in the role of "chief investigator commentator" on revised "Gang Buster" program the American Broadcasting Company. Programs on a coast-to-coast hookup started, with the former Commissioner receiving a salary reported to be approximately $45,000 year. In March of this year, however, he temporarily gave up his radio tion of Gen.

The former Police Commissioner, long a resident of Brooklyn, lived at 1650 68th St. Mr. Valentine was married tiwce.

In 1904 he' married Elizabeth Donohue who died six years later. He then married his sister-in-law, Teresa, in 1914. Besides his widow, three daughters of the first marriage, Mrs. Charles A. Locke, Mrs.

Chiang to Plead With Reactionaries Nanking, Dec.

16 (U.P)-Generalissimo Chiang Kal-shek was given 48 ore hours today in which to convince reactionary Kuomintang elements that "un-democratic amendments" should be eliminated from the draft of China's new constitution. Government leaders postponed the plenary session of the National Assembly until Wednesday. It originally was scheduled for today but the postponement was' ordered at the last minute. Chiang was expected to address a meeting of Kuomintang leaders today. Informed sources said he would restate his pledge to minority parties concerning the draft constitution.

Chiang has declared the new constitution will be an "interparty" document -free of revisions and emendments which might cause the two participating minority parties to withdraw. Reactionary Kuomintang members have insisted on amendments contrary to Chiang's declaration. Communists and members of the Democratic League have boycotted the aNtional Assembly and indications were that the constitution, as it now stands, might give them an even stronger excuse for remaining out of the government. Ives Seeks Labor Post in Senate Washington, Dec. 16 (U.P.) Republican Senator-elect Irving M.

Ives of New York met with party leaders today in an effort to clinch a place for himself on the important Senate Labor Committee. The former New York State Assembly leader is supported for the post by Governor Thomas E. Dewey, 1944 Presidential candidate. Dewey conferred with various Congressional leaders during the weekend and was said to have discussed Ives' ambition. It was not known whether he made any progress.

Ives visited Senator Wallace H. White Jr. of Maine, who is scheduled to become Republican floor leader. White, it was reported, was sympathetic with Ives' request but declined to make any commitment. Dewey, it was said, argued that Ives qualified for the important labor position because of thee broad experience gained in New York Legislature.

He was the Governor's labor adviser and sponsored many of the State's most important labor laws including the SOcalled "labor's bill of rights." The State's new junior Senator is also dean of the State Labor and Industrial Relations School at Cornell University.

Murphy, who made such a splendid run for the Supreme bench, but who, like others, went down in the Republican tidal sweep of last November. Murphy is slated to take over the job which Bennett will be vacating. Murphy, with whom I was happy have been associated in a special task for the Department of Finance about ten years ago, has been active in public affairs for a long time and his friends felt that, at last, he was about to be suitably rewarded with a position on the bench for which he was admirably fitted.

He had passed up other opportunities in which he had the willing backing of John H. McCooey and Frank V. Kellyto step aside for others, and it was believed that 1946 was his year to reap a well earned reward. Heretofore a nomination on the Democratic ticket for Supreme Court in the Second Judicial District has been regarded as tantamount to election. But whoever dreamed, back in July, of the debacle that would occur in November? Murray Hearn's Good RecordAnd Murray Hearn, also, was a victim of the same unexpected fate, that befell Murphy, in that race for the bench.

I recall Murray Hearn DA VINCI'S PAINTING, 'THE LAST IRREPARABLY Milan, Dec. 16 Leonardo Da Vinci's world-renowned painting of "The Last Supper" has been reduced to a mere jumble of faded color blots. The refectory of the Church of Santa Maria Delle Grazie in Milan, where the masterpiece was painted on 8 wall, was half destroyed by Allied bombs. Resulting exposure to air and rain had added their toll to the damage caused to the painting by chemical agents during several centuries. Attempts to retore "The Last Supper" before the war improved its appearance somewhat but the war ravages have made the fresco an apparently irreparble loss.

UNLEASH BLOODHOUNDS IN FINAL SEARCH FOR GIRL IN VERMONT WOODS Bennington, Dec. 16 (U.P.)- Bloodhounds will be used today in a last woodland search for Paula Welden, 18-year-old Bennington College art student who left the campus to take a walk Dec. 1 and disappeared.

"It is my unshaken belief the girl met with foul play," Jones aid.

"If she is buried in the woods those animals may be able to lead us to her grave." Strand of Rope Clue To Strangled Woman North Easton, Dec. 16 (U.P.) -A rotting strand of rope was believed today to offer hope of Identifying a woman whose body was found trussed in a blanket and thrown in a field.

LOCAL SUBURBAN DISTANT when he first went to the Assembly, back in 1924, and have followed with interest his career which led to a place on the bench in Brooklyn.

record has been consistently fine, during all that time, and he can point to several notable instances in which he has served the people in his 22 years in public office, Many good citizens, here in Brooklyn, felt downcast when they read of his defeat in the recent election. Heffernan and Crews--Everybody is happy over the redesignation of Billy Heffernan (Demooratic leader of the 7th A. and Johnny Crews (Republican County Leader) as members of the Board of Elections. These jobs, under the charter, call for men to be designated by the ruling committees of their respective parties, so as to preserve the bipartisan character of the board, and their selections are customarily ratified by the council. So Johnny and Bill will again take their accustomed places, as Election Commissioners, and, if all goes well, Heffernan will again be voted chairman of the board.

William J. Heffernan, by the way, is the oldest leader, in point of service, in the County of Kings. He was made of the old 7th, in South Brooklyn, when Tommy Wogan, his predecessor, moved over into the adjoining 9th, to wage a bitter war against Billy Doyle, then one of the active leaders of the Tammany "fifth column" seeking to unseat Pat McCarren as county leader on this side of the river. Wogan remained in the 9th or Bay Ridge district, and Heffernan stayed on, from that day to this, as the Democratic chief-. tain of the 7th.

So, Billy Hefternan has been leader for nearly 40 years--a longer period than any man in either executive committee of either party in our borough. He has seen many come and go; has weathered the storms of four decades, and seems just as young and fresh as ever. John Lynch Mastering New Job -Johnny Lynch is easing gracefully into his new job as Commissioner of Public Works at the Borough Hall. I dropped in on him the other day and found him, as usual, unperturbed and going about his new duties as if he had been there a lifetime. John is a glutton for work.

He handles, after hours, all communications at the Court Square headquarters for the Democratic County Committee, of which he is executive secretary and, when Borough President John Cashmore is otherwise engaged, he sits in for his boss at meetings of the Board of Estimate. In addition he is often called to fill in for the Borough President, at evening meetings of civic organizations and other gatherings.
