Addressing the annual dinner of the Central Queens Allied Civic Council at the Pomonok Country Club at Jamaica, the Governor declared that "the discipline which dictatorship Imposes on its people and hich leads to blind obedience is based on fear and on force." The discipline which we must impose on ourselves must be built on a heartfelt appreciation of the blessings which democracy provides for its people. As against a government of force, we must main Oarden City, June 22 Completing the major appointments for the academic year to Adelphi College's instructional ftaff, President Paul Dawson Eddy announced today that three new members have been added to the faculty.

"Since the enactment of the pari mutuel law, bookmaking at the race tracks Is "a penal offense," Governor Lehman said. "I am therefore requesting local law enforcement officials in the counties and cities were race tracks are.

located to take all necessary steps to enforce the penal law." Asking for periodic reports during the Aqueduct meeting, the Governor told Mr. Sullivan he "may request and should receive" full cooperation from racing associations and their employes.

He also served as research analyst for the National Research Conference Board in New York City in 1937.

A Minute for Novice Record unity, Governor Lehman said, pointing out that he had heard of discrimination against Americans of German and Italian origin as a result of the European war. "I have heard people say that they would not deal with certain tradesmen because they were of German or Italian origin. That Is a dangerous and unfair attitude to assume. I have not the least doubt but that the vast majority of our citizens of German and Italian origin are entirely loyal to' this country and wish to serve it with devotion, Just as do the rest of us. "To discriminate against or persecute citizens simply because they spring from nations whose policies we abhor is un-American, unjust and unwise," Governor Lehman said.

He warned that democracy can be attacked if it has been weakened from within and said that the United States would never be defeated unless the people "become supine in the defense of the liberties which the nation guarantees." "We will not confuse liberty with license, however," he said. Four husky patrolmen, members of the Police Quartet, again proved that they were "the finest" by winning the finals of the Brooklyn Barber Shop Quartet contest la.it night in the music grove at Prospect Park. Members of the group are Joseph Spielman of Traffic Manhattan; Benjamin Giacalone of the "3d Precinct, Thomas Cantwell of the 105th Precinct, Queens, and William Diemer of the 42d Precinct, the Bronx. Patrolman Giaclone attributed much of the success of the quartet to the fact that the men are assigned to singing by order of Police Commissioner Valentine. This "helps the morale of the men tremendously," he said.

The University Quartet was ad Special to the Brooklyn Eagle Chicago. June 22 a a Hamma, 24, of Brooklyn, set a new world's record for novice typists here last night, averaging 116 words a minute in a 20-mlnute competition in the eighth annual International Commercial Schools Contest in the Hotel Sherman. Miss Hamma, who added one word to the old mark in outscoring 50 of the fastest typist of this country and Canada, went on to place second in a half hour test, ejaculating when the finish signal was given, "Golly, I was just getting warmed up!" As a reward for her entry Into the realm of record holders, the dark-haired, ever-smlling young woman received a silver cup, which, she proudly announced, will occupy a conspicuous spot In her home at 226 Marion where she lives with her parents. The record was chalked up on an all-electric machine brought here from the International Business Machines Corporation's exhibit at the New York World's Fair, at which Miss Hamma has been demonstrating he rtyplng talent. A life-long resident of Brooklyn, Miss Hamma was educated at the parochial school of St.

Plot Trial Jury Out Fourth Day Stimson and Knox Appointments Win Praise of Editor William Allen White, noted editor and author of Emporia, praised President Roosevelt's appointment of Henry L. Stimson and Frank Knox as Secretaries of War and the Navy last night and scored the Republican party's dismissal of the two men from its ranks Thursday In Philadelphia. Referring to reports that the Republicans might become a "peace party," Mr.

White warned that if his party decided for "peace at any price" it would be playing Into the hands of the Fascist dictators. "Why the Republican party wants to monkey-doodle around after the Fascist vote In this country is beyond my understanding," Mr. White said. This remark, Mr. White said in an Interview in Manhattan prior to his departure for the Republican convention, "refers to Republican National Chairman John D.

M. Hamilton reading Knox and Stimson out of the Republican party." Donovan Favors Move Col. William J. Donovan, Assistant Attorney General under President Coolldge and twice a Republican candidate for Governor of New York, also praised the Cabinet appointments in a telegram last night to Mr. Hamilton.

On each of the preceding days deliberations started at 10 a.m. The fact that the Jurors worked over their task later at night and were summoned back a half hour earlier today was taken as an Indication that the court was pressing for a verdict. Trend Never Indicated An unusual factor in the deliberations of this Jury Is that it has never Indicated the trend of its debate. Although it has asked several times that certain portions of testimony be read, corridor prophets have found little in its actions upon which to base wagers on the outcome of its deliberations.

As the time for a verdict drew near the court was crowded with a growing number of spectators.

The Increase in the Queens rate was the highest of all the five boroughs. The borough rates were fixed by adding Improvement assessments to the basic figure for the city.

Recognition Finally Comes To De Ski Champion Seattle, June 22 W) It's a bit out of season, but Bill Redlin of the Washington Ski Club learned today he had been recognized officially as the 1940 National Federation In-terntaional De Ski champion.

The Ski Club received a communique from Henri Strand of Salt Lake City, president of the Inter- disappointment and blamed the increase on failure of Mayor LaGuardia and his administration to take proper account of the various factors entering in the tax-rate situation. Councilman Joseph T. Sharkey of Brooklyn called the $2.84 rate "back-breaking" and declared that "it smells to high heaven." The dropping from the tax rolls of $83,000,000 of assessed valuations represented by properties once owned by the B. M. T.

transit system, but now owned by the city, was an important factor contributing to the two-point increase. Huge Loss In Unification The city's taking over of the lines cut about $2,500,000 from the city's annual real estate tax revenues. About $60,000,000 of assessed valuations represented by Interborough-Manhattan properties taken over by the city In transit unification remains on the rolls but will be dropped for the fiscal year 1941-1942. This property remains on the 1940-1941 rolls because the Inter-borough Manhattan receivership had set up tax reserves for that year, and these sums were given to the city as part of the unification agreement. The increase in the basic tax rate came despite the fact that the 1940-1941 tax budget of $581,048,834 is about $6,400,000 lower than the budget for the current fiscal year.
