STICHMAN HITS CRITICISM OF STATE HOUSING Governor Dewey was defended today against charges that he was making political capital out of the State housing program and that his policy of housing appropriations had held up construction of 6,000 dwell ing units in the SUt. 2,600 of which are in Brooklyn. The charges were made by Edward Wcinfeld, State Housing Commissioner under Governor Lehman, and were answered by Herman T.

Stichman, Governor Dewey's hous ing commissioner and a particular target of Mr. Weinfeld. Commissioner Stichman again reviewed the accomplishments of the Dewey regime in housing, calL ing it "the greatest program for nousing or any state in the Union." N. Y. Leads Way Up to the time Governor Dewey assumed office, he said, $114,414,400 had been loaned by the State for specific housing projects.

Since then, he went on, the State has contracted to loan $75,303,000, has approved applications of $7,767,000, has of fered to loan New York City an I additional $25,000,000 to meet in- creased construction costs and has offered the city additional for six new contemplated projects or a total of $158,070,000. More applications from munici palities ire expected, tre commis sioner prislicted, adding: "Under the present administration no applica tion from any municipal housing authority has been rejected."

Trumpy Is a Swiss-born chauffeur who lives In New York. Seven years ago while on vacation in Switzerland he met Austrian-born Marie Ober-zauchner. They fell in love. Trumpy, a naturalized citizen, returned to America. Then he found he couldn't bring Mario to UlU country because she was only hi fiancee and the Austrian quota was closed.

So Trumpy took 11 weeks off from his Job at the Krug' Baking Company, Jamaica, L. to go to Switzerland and marry Marie last March. As the wife of an American citizen she was entitled to come to the United States, but things went too slowly for Trumpy, who descended on visa officials in Washington in a fury.

A meeting of the inhabitantsold settlers and newcomers was held in the district schoolhouse, with Tunis G. Bergen in the chair, Dec. 16, 1853. On motion of James Mrs. Lena Krinsky, 40, of 226 Rodney St.

was in critical condi tion in Bellevue Hospital today, under treatment for a fractured skull and shock, but she still did not know, police said, that her 42- year-old husband had hit her on the head with a hammer and then plunged to his death from his eight-floor office in Manhattan. The husband, according to the story pieced together by police, had been suffering from a nervous breakdown and Mrs. Krinsky and her brother-in-law, George Krinsky, had been trying to get him to visit a psychiatrist. He had been under treatment by a personal physician, police said. Mr.

and Mrs. Krinsky had spending several weeks at their Summer home in South Fallsburg but r-. Monday, police said, Mr. Kri-ky returned to his silk-importing office at 37-39 E. 28th leaving his wife and their two daughters, 12 and 14, at the Summer home.

Yesterday, police said, Mrs. Krin sky came to the city for another attempt to persuade him to see a psychiatrist. In the morning he had telephoned her at the Brooklyn home, suggesting that she meet him for lunch and a movie. Mrs. Krinsky arrived at the office a few minutes before noon, police said, and about 15 minutes later, a worker on the sixth floor saw a body hurtle past a window.

He dashed upstairs and found Mrs. Krinsky on the floor, a hammer beside her. Mr. Krinsky plunged through a skylight into a first-floor novelty manufacturing shop, narrowly missing an employe who had Just stepped away from the spot where his body landed. Police said Mrs.

Krinsky had been struck on the head twice while she was using the telephone. Police said she did not know what had happened to her husband and phy sicians would not permit her to be told because of her condition. O'Dwyer's Masseur Gets LaGuardia's Barber's Job Peter Segr.to, masseur and "physical director" to Mayor O'Dwyer, has been appointed assistant property clerk of the Police Department, a Job previously held by Frank Giordano, who was widely known as Florello LaGuardia's barber when the latter was Mayor. Mr. Segreto's appointment to the city Job, which pays $3,670, was effected Feb.

John Dai id Knons Brooklyn Mf Brooklyn Caution Is Urged New York City continues to escape the of. infantile paralysis sweeping the South, West and Mid-dlewest In the worst outbreak since 1916, Health Commissioner Wein- stein reported today. Dr. Welnstein said that from Jan.

1 through Aug. 7 there were 114 cases of poliomyelitis and seven deaths in the city. During the corresponding period last year there were 135 cases and 15 deaths. These statistics, he said, dispel "undue alarm." Elsewhere, however, the story was different. The United States Pub lic Health Service reported 5,454 cases In the nation, as compared to 3,992 In 1944, the year ranking next in seriousness to 1916.

In 1916 there were 29,000 cases. Advice to Parents Dr. Welnstein, in advising parents, said that children should be allowed to pursue ordinary actlvl' ties. But he issued the following advice: 'Over-exertion should be avoided. It is wise to keep children out of crowds.

Special attention should be paid to washing the hands and to sterilization of eating utensils. Food should be protected from At the same time he pointed out that any child who has fever, no matter how slight, or who shows any other signs of illness, should be put to bed and examined by a physician at once. There is no evidence that curare can cure the- disease or that it will kill the vi'us that causes the dis ease, the National Foundation ror Infantile Paralysis reported today in response to numerous inquiries about the drug.

Langley, J. Remsen Bennett, Jacques Van Brunt, Wynant W. Bennett, Isaac Bergen and the Rev. Dr. Stone, rector of Christ Church.

"There was no understanding as to what Bay Ridge was city, town or village. Nor was there any clear idea of it boundaries. "Of course, it was bounded on the West by the bay and the Narrows, and on the North, it could not cross the old Brooklyn City line, which was 60th St. On the South, it was generally supposed to extend to Bullock's Hill, at 85th but on the East, the only limit ever referred to was the 'Bush', probably meaning the woods at Fort Hamilton Ave. and 75th now McKinley Park.

"The first official recognition of Bay Ridge as a title, however, was by the U. S. Government, which conferred that name upon the local Post Office." Well, it is generous of Mr. Ryder to take pen in hand to try to straighten Mrs. Haynes and Mr.

C. in this momentous perplexity. However, I must point out that Borough President John Cashmore's own Bureau of Highways and Sewers fixed up a map in 1942 which bounds Bay Ridge on the North by Shore Road Drive on a line leading to 67th St. The U. S.

Post Office uses Bay Ridge Highway as the dividing line. Furthermore, so far as South Brooklyn is concerned, both Borough Hall and the U. S. Government agree it ends with Gowanus Bay and the canal. In between lies Sunset Park.

I mention this again, because I do hope we aren't going to lose Sunset Park in the shuffle. It would be a great pity to mislay all the land and docks betweeen 17th St. and Shore Road Drive, including Green-Wood Cemetery. In fact, it would be most embarrassing to the people who live there and the factories and ships which transact their business, in its midst. The whole thing is going to be embarrassing to me, no matter whate'er betide, for I have a demand from a reader for the boundaries of Old Flatbush.

Flatbush, like so many of the other Brooklyn villages, was inclined to be greedy and poach upon contiguous preserves, but it did have official boundaries, at that, which it more than once tried to overrun.

Van Arsdall of the U. S. destroyer Perry, which was standing by, said the Elizabete had struggled for several hours trying to get the Farmer under way. The question of -who will get the salvage reward for rescuing the Farmer was still unsettled. The British Ministry of Transport said yesterday, however, that the United States Lines, which owns both the Farmer and the Ranger, had agreed on the amount to be paid the EHiza-bete's crew.

All I can manage Celler Protests Loan to Arabia Representative Emanuel Celler i letter today revealed he has sent to William McChesney Martin- chairman of the Export-Import Bank, protesting approval of a 000,000 credit to Saudi Arabia and announced he will offer legislation in Congress to prevent such loans. 'Far from aiding the United States and the United Nations In the last war, Saudi Arabia actually helped the Nazis," Mr. Celler said in his letter.

"When requested to do so, Ibn Saud, absolute ruler of Saudi Arabia, refused to lend as much as a donkey or a camel to the United Nations. "The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem organized the Arab Brigade and with Ibn Saudi's blessing the brigade fought and killed our soldiers. Ibn Saud has the moral scruples of a tiger. "The Standard Oil Company and others with oil concessions in Saudi Arabia have paid yearly tributes of over $25,000,000 to Ibn Saud and his 100 sons and concubines. Why should the United States offer additional baksheesh to him? The credit must be withdrawn.

Thousands of Reich Children Seized by Reds, Official Says Berlin, Aug. 8 (U.R) Several thou sand teen-age German children were taken from their homes in the Soviet occupation zone in 1945 for what the Russians described a "re education" and have not yet been returned, a high German official said today. His statement could not be con firmed except through reports of "missing" children which have reached German church officials and neutral welfare organizations. The German official said several thousand German boys and girls Detween 13 and 17 were being held in camps and were given no oppor tunity to communicate with their parents. The children were surjoosed to have disappeared at varioua times from April to December, 1945.

About nine boys were said to have oeen taken for every girl. DlAMONDS-BOUfcHT FOR CASH 'i Peters Fin.

8 (U.R) The battered freighter American Farmer lurched into port here today under her own power and fly ing the American flag. A small salvage crew from her sister ship, the American Ranger, was aboard. One member of the crew a New Yorker said, "We didn't have such a bad time. It was lot of fun." Airplanes buzzed overhead and small boats filled with newsmen skirted around the Farmer as she anchored. Her forward holes were filled with water and her decks were only from 3 to 6 feet above the wa ter level when she docked.

The collision with another Amerl can ship last Wednesday had left a huge hole in the Farmer port side, As officials went aboard one ob server remarked, "It's wonder she's afloat."
