Bedlam has broken loose in Carroll Park. A great army of 30,000 youngsters from all sections of South Brooklyn has hurled itself against what was once a spot of beauty and charm and destroyed it as literally as the passing of a swarm of 7-year locusts. The recent Installation of swings.

Washington. Oct. (API The social winter in Washington, only a Ittle less formal here than in the royal courts abroad, is not far distant and capital society, with the 'White House occupying its time-honored position as criterion, is now recovering from its summer lethargy under the stimulus of preparation for the new 'n ill ji 1 5i .4 5 PamuA PHOTO Miss Martha Parker Miss Martha Parker of New York won the New Jersey women's golf championship yesterday at the Plainfield, N.

The situation has passed entirely out of the control of the Park Department, apparently, for yesterday the one girl and three young men assigned to the park as play leaders stood helpless while boys hurled gravel and dirt at the girls and the girls played in the space supposed to be exclusively for the ooys. With four supervisors to more than 2.000 children the leaders were helpless to control the children. Calls Conditions Intolerable.

'We are appealing to Boro Presi dent Byrne to do something to re lieve the intolerable conditions, said Dr. Salvatore Benantl of 283 President st. "My children can no longer plav in the park it Is too dangerous to their morals. The children are there until midnight, using the see-saws. The neighborhood has gotton up a petition for relief pending legal action.

Says Park Has Been Made a Political Football. "The children of this neighborhood are not using the playground. The great majority of the children come from outside this district. There are 30,000 children, more or less, in the vast area from Atlantic Hamilton Van Brunt st. and Gowanus Canal and there Is not one public playground.

In order to satisfy the needs of these thousands of youngsters the Park Department made a football of politics out of Carroll Park, Instead of solving the problem in a scientific way. The result Is a situation of great danger to morals and the- cause of the Juvenile delinquency which the Children's Court is fighting. "The few parks Brooklyn has should not be destroyed to provide playgrounds. The grass has been removed from Carroll Park and cinders and dirt substituted. This packed down ground is killing the trees.

The residents of Manhattan saved Central Park. Brooklyn should save its parks. There are 70 tall trees In Carroll Park, some three and four feet in diameter. They are doomed, unless The Eaitle and the other papers take up this fight as the press has done to save central park irom political ex ploitatlon." $0,000 Children Use Park. The playground is situated in the center of three electoral districts, with a total poDuIatlon of 277,330 people.

There are 15,000 children, according to Dr. Benantl. in the eight public schools whose students use the playground, as well as three or four pa rochial schools and private schools with 10,000 youngsters, including 5.000 children of kindergarten and pre-school age, the total is 30,000. The petitioners to President Byrne ask that a fence be put around the playground so that the menace oi the street be removed, also that the swings be taken down at 6 o'clock instead of at 9 o'clock. The seesaws are not movable, but if the park were fenced off closed at sundown the night nuisances would be abated.

The Rev. William J. Cuthbert, rector of Bt. Martin's P. E.

Church at 203 President declared he liked to "see children happy but hated to witness license that indicates youthful depravity." "I cannot help thinking that many of the things I have seen since the Installation of the playground equipment amount to a public scandal." Little Girls Roughly Handled. "I take my own children up to Prospect Park to play I would not let them play in Carroll Park any more," said one resident. "The kids swarm here all the way from 3d and 4th aves. and Columbia and they are pretty tough youngsters. The park Is no longer any use to the section in which it is located.

Boys are likely to get their heads split In a fight and the little girls are roughly handled, too." Park Commisioner Browne said to day that Alderman Edward J. Has- lam had convinced him that Carroll Park should be converted from a park into a playground. Browne Defends Playground Plan. "When you think of all the chil dren being killed on the streets by trucks in south Brooklyn we nao to give the section a playground," said Mr. Browne.

"We spent $2,000 for equipment. This is the first time the objections have come to my notice, and I think they are voiced by only a few property owners near the park." Dr. Benantl declares that Haslam owed his defeat to the destruction of the old landmark. "The politicians who destroyed Carroll Park lost out," declared Dr. Benantl.

"A great, rich city like Brooklyn can get appropriations for playgrounds without destroying a beautiful little park by crowding 30.000 children into It In a never-ending stream. Anybody with any vision would know that. "The people of the Carroll Park section defeated both of Patrick Diamond's men, Haslam and Larkin. Sweeney and Rellly and O'Reilly art with us, and will carry the fight Into the Assembly to save Carroll Park. It is as worth saving as Centrnl Park ar.d the principles involved are the tame." inilCI UIIDTCQIII nnnmnrn nmrn mm Bootleg War Suspected as Five in Car Rout Throng With Heavy Gunfire.

The car darted Into Delancey st. and disappeared in the direction of Manhattan Bridge. The pohce believed it crossed the bridge, the gunmen using Brooklyn for a getaway. One of the men shot down as he stood on the sidewalk was Michael Grozlosa, 24, of 2337 6th Brooklyn. Because the machine headed for Brooklyn, the police questioned him, at length this morning in Gouver-neur Hospital, on the possibility that he may have been one of the intended victims.

But they got no explanation of the shooting, they said. Charles Greenberg, 51, 171 Eldridge was the man killed. He had been sitting on the steps in front of his home, and could not get out of the way.

Others of the larger leaders were with him. Aided by Watson. Three weeks ago Colonel Roosevelt started to draft the speech.

He was helped by J. E. Watson, publicity man at the Republican State Headquarters, and the man Governor Smith in last year's campaign referred to as "Hearsts man Watson." Watson was a former Hearst editor. State Chairman George K. Morris also aided and approved the final draft.

One development of the division of councils which prevailed at the Rochester convention was the fate of a resolution drawn to "regret" Pres ident Coolldge's statement that he does not choose to run for Pres-Idetn In 1928." This was ruled out at the very last minute because of the fear that it "might close the door to a coolidge renomlnatlon.

It merely contained a statement of the New York Republicans' regret over tne president statement ana a eulogy of his Administration. Mr.

Hilles, who believes that President Coolidge actually meant to withdraw his candidacy by his statement, in tended the resolution only as a com plimentary gesture to the president. At a conference of the leaders on the eve of the convention Congress man Bertram H. Snell, one of the State's G. O. P.

powers in Washing ton, objected to tne nines resolution. Discussing the matter he said: Might Close Door. "I felt that such a resolution of regret would be interpreted as meaning that New York Republicans have ac cepted the President's statement as a final withdrawal and that such action would close the door 'to a possible Coolidge renomlnatlon In 1928. should circumstances require it." When Snell made his objection Mr. Hilles at once withdrew the resolution.

Senate Leader John Knight also presented a resolution along similar lines, mat aiso was vetoed.
