2, L. I. MI BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, MONDAY, JANUARY 18, 1932 Lively Reports of News Events in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens Salary Slashes For Synagogue Group Urged Konowitz Warns Convention Economy Must Now Be Practiced Freeport, L. Jan. 18 -Assistant District Attorney Mordecai Konowitz of Queens, speaking yesterday at the third annual convention of the Long Island branch of the United Synagogue of America, held at the Temple Israel, on Broadway, ment of expenses, and exploiturged stricter economy, curtailthe ation of new avenues of income, as best methods of solving financial problems of the congregations.

Magistrate Benjamin Marvin of Jamaica, who was re-elected for the third term as president, presided. Konowitz said that a statistical review of the upkeep of 31 institutions revealed that 60 percent of the expenses consist of salaries. He urged a gradual scale of salary cuts but declared that the situation of each employe should be considered. "The status of each employe must be taken into account as it would be unfair slash salaries unless this was done," he said. Over 100 Attend More than 100 delegates, representing 25 communities we present.

The convention was opened by Louis Bender, president of Temple Bnai Israel, who brought greetings from the Jews of Freeport. Mr. Bender was followed by Rabbi Samuel M. Cohen, executive director of the United Synagogue of America, who outlined the aims of the United Synagogue and its emphasis on Jewish education as a means of character building. Judge Marvin urged a more intensive participation of the laymen in Jewish religious life of Long Island and said that the synagogue should attempt to spread its influence outside of the congregation and become the centre of Jewish community activity.

Warning Sounded A warning against such economies as would weaken congregational activities or institutions was made in the form of a resolution. Other measures passed to insure the counteracting of conditions as a result of the economic situation were: Resolution calling for intensification of synagogue life, a call for congregations to engage in membership campaigns, and a resolution requesting the incoming administration render budgetary advice help to congregations. Resolutions Adopted Other decisions adopted by the convention campaign to increase the registration, in religious schools, a resolution protesting against discrimination and persecution against the Jews in Poland, a reaffirmation of the loyalty of the organization to Palestine and a resolution urging the formation of a Long Island Division of the New York Branch of the Women's League of the United Synagogue of America.

18-Speaking hopefully for the future of fruit and vegetable on Island by warning growing, business would suffer if Long Island growers those in other sections of the State do not grade their produce like shippers from other States, Dr. M. P. Rasmussen, marketing specialist of Cornell University, addressed a record meeting of the Nassau County Farm Bureau Committeemen at the Shady Lawn Restaurant Saturday afternoon. Warns State Farmers Raymond G.

Fish, chairman of the farm department of the Nassau County Farm and Home Bureau Association presided. Dr. Rasmussen said, in part: "Despite the handicaps of distance, outside shipments are crowding us off our markets, which we ought logically conclude are our own. Distant shippers cannot afford to ship anything except Grade No. 1 stuff.

They have better grading and better packing. There has been deterioration of the New York State potato. "I do not think that New York State potato growers should only ship Grade A stuff to market, but that they seek to satisfy people who want other grades. However, there should be a proper grading. I would like to see New York State potatoes graded so that we sell them for what they are.

I believe that United some of the best potatoes in the States are grown here on Long Island, but you won't get paid for a good job unless you put stuff up will in such manner that the public recognize the quality." Dr. Rasmussen voiced a note of warning to the growers in the State when he said that a number of dairymen are planning to devote their acreage to fruit and vegetable, the growing; grain that growing some grain sections are planning to raise fruit and vegetables, due to the fall in grain prices. Potatoes Pay Well Referring to potato growing, the speaker said that the State College of Agriculture records show that no other crop in New York State consistently pays better than potatoes. Speaking of the future of fruit and vegetable growing in this State, Dr. Rasmussen said that there is a high purchasing power in the cities, and that it is unlikely that the demand for fruit and vegetables will decrease as it would for other commodities.

"I think," said he, "that relatively to other products, vege-. tables and fruit prices will probably remain high." Bureau Seeks Membership E. V. Titus, president of the Farm Bureau, said that the bureau is working for a larger membership in 1932. He said that even if the farmer is at a low ebb financially, he is better off than many people engaged in other industries.

Arthur H. Youngs, a committeeman, reported on his trip to the annual meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation at Chicago, and Harold J. Simonson of Glen Head reported on the annual meeting of the New York State Vegetable Growers Association. George Cornwell of Valley Stream told of the conference held relating to farm produce sales problems in Wallabout Market and of progress made to straighten out diffculties. Prof.

C. D. Cunningham of the Long Island Research Farm at Riverhead told of experiments 1 being made there to develop a cucumber that is resistant to wilt. In announcing plans for the forthcoming campaign for the 1932 Farm Bureau membership enrollment, H. Campbell, county farm bureau's said: "I think we have a lot to be optimistic about, and that we are better off by other a great sections." deal than those in some Lynbrook Bank Merger Completed Lynbrook, L.

Dixon and Pierce O. Davis directed Only Team of Giants Liable to End Streak Of Lavender Quintet By HAROLD "I'd like to see the team lows," snapped Neil Cohalan. The young Manhattan written large on his face, had You-So" twinkle in the eyes of man, his professional rivals and They offered no condolences manner in which City College floor of the 102d Regiment ball team. Charity begins at moaning the defeat C. C.

N. pinned on his St. John's team a Week ago. Kelleher, with a team that hasn't a chance against the Lavender, is looking forward dolefully and hoping that a few of Holman's stars will be caught in 1 A measles quarantine before they play his Fordham team three weeks hence. "They're too smart," explained Cohalan.

"They started to switch right at the start, and soon had our slow players guarding their fastest men. Their strategy had my men in a blizzard." And Cohalan just about summed it up. The game Saturday night offered a striking contrast between "Before" and "After" basketball. Manhattan was playing a type of game that would have won in whirlwind fashion half a dozen years ago -before basketball became developed and perfected by a couple of smart schemers like Nat Holman, Buck Freeman, Doc Carlson of Pitt and perhaps Phog Allen of Kansas. C.

C. WON BY SWITCHING' DAVIDOFF CLEVERLY City College was playing 1932 basketball, forcing the breaks, making its own scoring opportunities with finely-timed block plays that "pick off" opposing guards and "switching" confusingly. Manhattan started a switch of its own at the start which Smith guarding little Joe Davidoff. The Jaspers clung on Joe was bottled up. But then C.

C. N. Y. countered with a switch which forced Dan Kelleher to take Davidoff, breaking so fast on the attack that the Green defense didn't get a chance to take its bearings. Kelleher couldn't hold Davidoff at all.

He got 13 points in the first half, and the game was won there and then. Manhattan tried desperately to play other guards on Davidoff, but the whirlwind C. C. N. Y.

attack, sweeping down the floor, always left a slow Manhattan man to guard the little flash. This happened with such startling regularity that it proved how the course of a game and the whole tide of action can be turned by the "switch" play, that simple yet complicated defensive and offensive maneuver. CAN LAVENDER SCORE 'LITTLE SLAM'? Meantime the question persists "Who will beat C. C. N.

Y. again?" A man who knows his basketbail has said that enly a team of giants can beat the Lavender. He said HEADS POETS Si Tanhauser Long Island Poets Organize; Elect Tanhauser Head Will Seek to Create Interest in Poetry Among Children, Says Dr. Kern Lawrence, L. Jan.

According to Dr. Kern the purthe new group is to foster interest in poetry among Long and Brooklyn school children. An attempt will be made to enroll some 500 members. The association will likewise publish an anthology, containing the works of representative poets in Brocklyn and Long Island. The association will likewise campaign for the preservation of Walt Whitman's home on Long Island and other historic shrines along the Sunrise Trail, Dr.

How Sarazen Plays His Pitch Shots THE IRON DOESN'T PICK THE BALL CLEAN OFF TURF Set 1l IT TAKES 1-19-32 TURF LIKE THIS By SOL METZGER The method of Gene Sarazen in playing his low pitch shots to the green so the ball will stop by the end of its second bounce, due to its backspin, is common among sound golfers. Sarazen doesn't pick the ball clean off the turf, as in the upper panel of the accompanying sketch. Instead he hits it on the downswing, as in the lower panel, and his club goes on through, taking a bit of turf, or divot, beyond where the ball rested. This contact of clubhead and ball occurs when the club is still descending.

And at this instant the club's face strikes the ball below its center. The slope of the clubhead permits this. As a result, underspin is imparted by the descending clubhead pinching the ball against the turf. In consequence, it holds the green near where it alights. Another strange phenomenon that aids in gaining backspin takes place when a ball is so struck.

next three weeks the Indians will either have a huge stack of victories or another defeat or two, which might put them out of the Eastern title chase. The figures show that big Dave Jones, Columbia guard, is setting the scoring pace. Dave has hit almost a 10-point-a-game clip, and a 10-point man is the answer to any coach's dream. Georgie Slott, who used to be the perennial P. S.

A. L. leading scorer at Hamilton before he came to St. John's, has hit his stride at last, and if he continues the pace he has hit during the past two weeks will be challenging Jones. The figures: Team Records Pratt St.

Jan. 18--The political pot in Valley Stream is starting to boil and, it is said, the factions of the Republican party will play a prominent part in the village elections next March. Reports have it that the village elections will really be a battle for control of the local Republican organization between the People's and Citizens' parties. It was learned today the People's party will make their nominations some time this week. Leaders of the party have held several meetings and the names of several prominent men have been discussed.

Among them are Louis W. Buck, Fred Clementz and former Mayor Henry Waldinger, who recently was elected leader of the party. Buck Seen Favorite Rumor has it that Buck is the choice of the leaders to run against Mayor Jehn H. Carey. Buck has never taken a prominent part in 10- cal politics, although a member of the People's party, and may not want the nomination.

The independents of the village have done nothing for the last two weeks. It was said they are waiting for the People's party to make their nominations and will then indorse them. The Citizens party will probably nominate all three incumbents, Mayor Carey and Trustees Michael Moore and Frank Buscher. Republican County Committeemen who are members of the People's party, in many instances faced opposition last September in the Republican primaries, but each case the incumbents were re-elected. John Hall Rites To Be Held Today Funeral services for John Hall, who died at his home, 108-40 New York Jamaica, Friday morning, after a year's illness, will be conducted today at 2 p.m.

in Collison's Funeral Chapel at 159-14 90th Jamaica. Interment will follow in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn. Mr. Hall, who was 92, was one of the real old timers in Jamaica, having lived there for 55 years. For 45 of these he lived in 215 Liberty Jamaica.

The last 10 were lived at the present abode. He was born in Salford, England, on Dec. 4, 1839, and came to Brooklyn in 1853, just one year before the Civil War, at the age of 24. He moved to Jamaica in 1877. Mr.

John's flashiness and Manhattan's aggressiveness wouldn't do it, and he was right. City must travel to Providence next month for a game with a physically big albeit much-beaten team. After that comes the big test with New York U's raw-boned crew, featuring the giant Lefft, the bull-like Hugret, and some more brawny boys like Sternhill and Anderson.

Usually it's the invading team and not the home outfit that finds it hard to reconcile its style of play to the local rule interpretations. Doc Carlson has built the whole Panther attack around block plays, which are so obvious sometimes as resemble football takeouts. Some referees call them strictly, some When they do, Carlson is a regular ranting wildman on the bench. At a rules meeting in Pittsburgh lately coaches and officials discussed interpretations and, though Carlson frequently lent a dissenting note, agreed to be stricter, just as local officials agreed earlier this year to be a little more lax, to overlook "phantom" fouls. So you see basketball rule uniformity is in the offing, though Pitt paid the price on its own court Saturday.

Anderson of N. Y. U. shot 11 fouls alone in that game. ST.

Robins Receive Contracts Calmly Apart from Babe Herman, who howled before he was hurt and hasn't been heard since contracts were mailed from Ebbets Field, the Robins seem unperturbed by attempted salary slashes.

Dazzy Vance, almost chronically a holdout at this time of the year, wired The Eagle from his hunting and fishing camp at Crystal River, "Received contract and the depression is still on.
