of of of of of of of of of of BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1932 M-2 3 Calls Public Hearing On Tax Strike Refuses to Meet Brokers Privately -Sets April 11 Before Full Board Refusing to hold private conferences with any civic group on the question of easing the tax burdens on real estate, Mayor Walker last night, the announced question that would public be hear- held before the full Board of Estimate on April 11. The decision followed a hectic conference late yesterday afternoon between Mayor and representatives of the Real Estate of New York and the Real Estate Board of Brooklyn. The Mayor declared that the wide publicity given the threat of a tax strike had made private conferences and round-table discussions on the question impossible. At one the Mayor asked that the agitators for a tax stike "come forward and be counted." No Round Table Talk These remarks were directed pointedly at Anton L. Trunk, president of the New York Real Estate Board who was trying to get the Mayor to consent to a round table talk with him and the other members of the Board of Estimate, and who vigorously denied tht he or his organization had had anything to do with the tax strike agitation.

Walker would not listen to the proposal of a private conference on the subject of cutting down munic1pal expenses and related matters. "I am ready and anxious" he said, "to confer with you on current city affairs, but in view of the publicity that has been given the matter in my absence and some of the statements that have appeared in the public press I will insist the hearing be open to the public and before the full Board of Estimate. The doors will be thrown wide open and the spotlight thrown on the Walker declared that he wanted an opportunity to "segregate the taxpayer from the broker. I want every taxpayer who is interested to be present. Taxation is not popular.

I have never heard any cheers for taxation. At the same time we are a bit unique in New York. We have a balanced budget. That is more than can for the Federal or State governments." The Brooklyn at the conTerence was in favor of a private meeting with the Board of Estimate but seeing that the Mayor was determined to have it public or not at all, offered no opposition. It included S.

Horton, presIdent of the Real Estate Board; Henry R. Kinsey, president of the New York Savings Bank Association and vice president of the Williamsburg Savings Bank; Morris J. Moore, chairman of the Real Estate Board's Committee on Taxation and Legislation, and Arthur W. Gelston, executive secretary of the board. The Central Hotel Association of New York was represented by F.

A. K. Boland. Create Plants Utilizing X-ray Continued From Page 1 pioneering work has already been done in this field with startling results. Scientists working independently In several university laboratories have demonstrated that the yield of potatoes planted can be increased by X-raying the seed tubers; that new tobaccos and new and curious varieties of tomatoes, sunflowers and cosmos can be produced.

Two new types of cotton plants have been developed by X-raying the seeds before they were planted. In one type the seed has no lint adhering to it. Removing the seed from the tightly adhering cellulose fibers has been the big problem in preparing cotton for use. A certain amount of the fiber was lost in the seed removal process and it was necessary to remove this before the seeds could be used. Growing a plant in which the seed is free of attached fibers elimInates a difficulty and a loss at the same time.

Huge Seeds Valuable In the second new type of cotton plant the seeds are of huge size. The seed is a valuable product of the cotton plant. It furnishes cotton seed oil, which has a number of industrial uses. When hydrogenated it becomes a solid fat. The material that remains, cotton seed meal, is a valuable cattle food.

The work of the laboratory will be not alone to create the new type of plant but so breed it that each generation will breed true to form. The X-rays will be tried on many plants of commercial importance under carefully controlled conditions so that the scientific as well as the economic importance of the changes will be understood. "Mechanism Little Understood The mechanism by which these changes are produced in plants is but little understood at the present time, state the laboratory workers. It is evidently associated with modifications produced in the chromosomes by the X-rays. The chromosomes are the bodies in the nucleus of the germ and other cells which carry the units' of heredity, the genes.

The genes seemed to be arranged in the chromosomes like peas in a pod and chromosomes are arranged in the the cell like the seeds in an apple. The arrangement of the genes and chromosomes in the cell, particularly of the genes within the chromosomes, apparently determine what sort of a plant will grow from the seed. The X-rays to penetrate the cell and break, up the normal arrangement genes and from the new arrangement a new type plant developes. Nature's Method Nature has undoubtedly produced her new species in this way by EN ROUTE TO AMAZONIAN HALF-WORLD Desmond Holdridge at the cabin window of the expedition's cruiser Rio Mar.

Storm Toll Rises To 15 Deaths in Eastern States The Eastern half of up-State New York struggled today under a blanket of between 12 to 20 inches of snow, as the result, yesterday, of the worst March storm that area had known in a generation. Automobile traffic was blocked and even snowplows rushed out on the highways were, in some cases, marooned along with the automobiles they were sent out to free.

The Associated Press reported a death toll eight in the State, all but one of which occurred in the rain area. Through the East, the postEaster storms caused the loss of at least 15 lives, Northern New England and Pennsylvania communities suffering largely as well as those of New York. Governor Roosevelt was for time "snow-bound" in his home at Hyde Park, N. Y. Rain and a high wind wrought much damage in Queens yesterday.

Dry Leader to Go On Speakeasy March 29 Tour Philadelphia, anti-prohibitionist today set about arranging a tour of speakeasies for an Anti-Saloon League official, but the when and where of the itinerary was kept a secret. That was one of the conditions Joseph S. Clark Philadelphia chairman of the Crusaders, imposed upon the Rev. Dr. James K.

Shields, New Jersey superintendent of the dry league, for a survey of conditions. Kittredge Suicide Due to Depression Cleveland, March 29 (P)-Funeral services were being arranged today for Lewis H. Kittredge, 61, former president of the Peerless Motor Car Company. Kittredge committed suicide by shooting at his home here yesterday. He left a note saying: "The severity and duration of this depression has gotten on my nerves.

It is better that I go now." Block-Aiders Encouraged by 1st Day's Work Indications Are That Brooklyn Will Emerge as City's Key Borough Reports from the first day's canVass by the Brooklyn block-aider army indicated a high percentage of 0-operation on the part of Brooklynites, it was reported today at headquarters of the Brooklyn Block Community Organization. The incoming reports were fragmentary, however, due to the fact that more than a week must pass before the auditing department's figures will be in shape for publication. In the absence of specific figures officials stated that such information as was available was highly encouraging and indicated that Brooklyn would emerge as the key borough in the citywide campaign. 2,600 Block Chairmen More than 1,000 block-aiders went into the field yesterday as the campaign formally opened and more are expected to go into action today. The number of block chairmen recruited totaled 2,600 this morning or more than half the 5,000 sought.

Democratic Leader John H. McCooey has induced his wife to act as block chairman for the block in which they live at 908 St. Mark's Ave. He formally indorsed the movement last night at a blockaiders rally at Froebel Academy, 176 Brooklyn Ave. Borough President Henry Hesterberg yesterday bought the first dollar stamp sold by a block-aider in Brooklyn, accepted the co-chairmanship of the district in which he lives and made a formal appeal to every Brooklynite to support the campaign.

The dollar stamp was sold to the Borough President by Miss Elizabeth Garvin, chairman of the Junior Executive Committee of the block organization. Several reports were made by block -aiders of 100 percent response to their solicitation for 20- week pledges of from 10 cents to $1. The first was received from the Brooklyn Heights district, where Mrs. Clifford S. Brinkerhoff of 395 Clinton assigned to the apartment house in which she lives, reported 14 pledges from 14 calls.

One of the pledges was for 50 cents a week by the elevator boy. A Typical Experience But it was harder going for some of the block-aiders as they trudged doggedly from door to door, buffeted by yesterday's high winds and drenched by the relentless downpour. Here is a typical experience: No answer to the first doorbell rung. At the next house: "My nusband's salary has been cut; I can't give." At the third house: "Yes, I can give 10 cents a week; sure, I'll do No answer at the fifth house. At the sixth: "We ain't gonna give; we got all we can do to take care of our own." Wooden crates were piled high in the yard of the next house.

Apparently they were to be used for fuel for lack of coal. There were other indications of need. The block-aider discreetly refrained from ringing the bell. The next place was a speakeasy. The response was laconic: "The boss ain't in." No answer to the bell next door.

Next a butcher shop: "Will 50 cents help?" The next house, no answer. Next door: "I work for the city; my salary already is taxed. I'm afraid I can't help." An emphatic "No" at the next house. From the next-door neighbor: "Well, maybe I can spare a dime." And so it went, The South Park Slope district has a complete one-man block organization in the person of Robert Marrin of 415 5th St. Marrin is block chairman, block treasurer and sole block-aider of Block 68, bounded by 6th and 7th Aves.

Washington, March 29 -The nervous strain of writing a new revenue bill and attempting to legislate the nation out of an acute financial depression is seriously impairing the health of members of the House, according to a warning issued by Dr. George W. Calver, attending physician to Congress.

In a letter to Representative Henry, T. leader, Rainey, Dr. the Calver Democratic suggested that Saturday sessions of the House be eliminated to allow members to catch up with their correspondence and to obtain a little relaxation.

C. Church of St. Vincent Ferrer, Glenwood Road and Brooklyn noted lecturer, writer and pulpit orator, died suddenly last night at the home of his twin brother, Dr. Edward J. Murphy, at Far Rockaway.

Father Murphy had been in poor health for about a month and last week he went to a hospital for a slight operation. He recovered sufficiently from the operation to make the trip yesterday to his brother's home. After the evening meal, while he was reading in the library, he collapsed. A priest from the nearby church arrived in time to administer the last rites. Father Murphy was constantly in demand from other sections of the country to conduct religious retreats at colleges and seminaries.

He was selected on many occasions to deliver the sermon at the dedication of churches and schools in the diocese. Assigned to Found Church Father Murphy was born in Providence, R. in 1884. He was educated at Holy Cross College and St. Joseph's Seminary, Dunwoodie, N.

and was ordained in the Church of St. John the Baptist, this borough, on June 9, 1906. After serving as assistant priest at the Church of St. Benedict Joseph, Morris Park, St. Anthony's Church, St.

Church, Jerome's St. Ambrose the Church of St. John the Evangelist, Father Murphy was assigned to found the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer, in 1923. He built the present church and rectory, and the new school convent is now under construction.

Last June, the 25th anniversary of Father Murphy's ordination was celebrated by his parishioners and many friends. When the Rt. Rev. Mons. David J.

Hickey, Vicar General of the Diocese, was elevated to the position of Prothonotary Apostolic by Pope Pius XI Father Murphy was selected to celebrate one of the masses in commemoration of the event. Father Murphy was for many years president of the Fenelon Society, which sponsors readings and lectures on Catholic art and history, and a moderator of the Roman Catholic Teachers Association. His father, the late Patrick phy, publisher of Irish literature, was for many years a trustee of St. Francis Xavier's Church. Father Murphy is survived by two brothers, Dr.

Murphy of Far Rockaway and James N. Murphy, and a cousin, Miss Sarah Murphy, of 773 Carroll St. Inmate of Elmira Brought Back as Extortion Witness Anthony Crivello Goes to Trial Second Time on Mrs. Dora Rubel's Charge For the second time Anthony Crivello of 8792 19th Ave. went on trial this morning before County Judge Fitzgerald charged with attempting to extort $10,000 from Mrs.

Dora Rubel of 106 Marlborough Road. Crivello and Joseph Mannano of 1075 Coney Island Ave. were tried on the same charge year ago before County Judge Taylor on the basis of written confessions. Mannano sent to Elmira, but Crivello was dismissed for insufficient evidence. Mannano was brought down from Elmira to testify against in the present trial.

It was understood. however, that his testimony would clear Crivello of any implication in the extortion attempt. Mrs. Rubel alleged that she received a letter demanding that 000 be left in a cigar store at the corner of 36th St. and Fourth Ave.

Police arrested Gerald Cullen, who came to get the money at the store. He was released after convincing detectives that he had only been sent to call for a package by Crivello and Mannano and had no knowledge of its contents. In a written confession, Crivello charged that Mannano was the author of the extortion letter. Ehrich, Art Dealer, 53, Dies Suddenly Harold Louis Ehrich, head of the Ehrich Galleries at 36 E. 57th Manhattan, and the first American art dealer to specialize in the old masters, died suddenly yesterday of heart disease at Pinehurst, S.

Mr. Ehrich and his father founded the galleries in Workman Slain Mysteriously By Companions Two Seen Fleeing as Third Man Dies of 2 Bullets in 64th Street Ralph Bruzzeses, 24, a carpenter, of 1448 62d was shot and killed at 1:19 o'clock this morning on the sidewalk in front of a two-family house at 2254 64th St. The scene of the shooting is between Bay Parkway and 23d in the residential section of Bath Beach. Bruzzeses was shot twice, one bullet penetrating behind his left ear, and the other boring a hole in the back of his head.

The shooting is believed to have done by two men who had been seen walking down 64th St. toward 23d Ave. with Bruzzeses, and who, after the shots were fired, ran through a garage driveway between the houses at 2254 and 2252 64th and disappeared into 65th St. Motive Mystery Police have not established a motive for the shooting. The slain man, who was well dressed, Was found to be unarmed.

His body, after lying on the sidewalk for some time, was identifled by his father, Nicholas, and was then photographed and fingerprinted by the police and removed to the Bath Beach police station. Capt. John Ryan, in charge of Coney Island-Bath Beach detectives, and Lt. John McGowan of the Brooklyn Homicide Squad, began an investigation of the slaying. Saw Two Men Fleeing They said they were told by Miss Sylvia Bauman of 2252 64th dancer, and Earl Schneider, a furrier of 7420 Bay Parkway, that after hearing two shots they saw two men run from the scene of the shooting into the garage driveway through which they are presumed to have made their way into 65th St.

Sardini Must Go to Chair, Says Geoghan Declares 'Tip' Proved Worthless, So Won't Ask a New Reprieve District Attorney Geoghan said this morning he would do nothing to secure another reprieve for Peter Sardini, who is slated to die in the chair at Sing Sing Thursday for the murder of Rocco Zappo in 8 holdup here a year ago. Sardini received considerable publicity two weeks ago, when he won a last-minute reprieve by offering to "clear up" half a dozen murders in and near the Metropolitan Area. A month before that he had won a one-month reprieve and Peter Matera, convicted with him, had had his death sentence commuted to life imprisonment as a result of action on the part of the Brooklyn prosecutor. Mr.

Geoghan has checked up on the only murder Sardini mentioned that took place in Brooklyn. That was the killing a year ago last November of Patrolman Walter de Castilia during the holdup of a shoe factory at 35 York St. Sardini told the authorities that the killer in this case was James here of the Riggio. Sangamino, subsequently, convicted Mr. Geoghan said today that none of the shoe factory, employes has been able to identify Sangamino as the guilty man, and that Sardini's story has brought no results.

Henry Pu-Yi, newly made Dictator of federated Manchuria, trembled today before the threatening march of 7,000 Chinese rebels, victoriously upon Changchun. Almost every branch of the Japanese military service here and Mukden, the old capital, was called out today to stop the rebel march. Japanese airplanes roared out with their bombs and machine guns and pounded the rebel ranks at Nungan, only 35 miles from here, in eastern Kirin. The rebel troops apparently had defeated the regular troops of Gov. Hsi Hsia outside Nangun, which was reported on the verge of surrender.

The small Japanese detachments sent from here radioed for help, saying they had suffered heavy casualties in the fighting. Believe City Captured Belief that Nungan had fallen was strengthened when the radio, through which the city's defenders heretofore have maintained communication with Japanese headquarters here, became silent at 2:30 p.m. Shanghai, March 29 (AP)-A new rupture in the Sino-Japanese armistice negotiations was threatened tonight with the issuance of 8 statement the Japanese Consulate, ascribing the repeated delays in the conference to the fact that no Chinese delegates seem to in a position or to be willing to assume responsibility. Police Radio Traps Three Boys After 2 Grocery Holdups $50 Taken in One. Bath Ave.

Store and $5 in Another by Young Trio Three boys were arrested by Patrolmen Walter Lourie and James Brierton of the Fort Hamilton precinct at 1 a.m. today as the result of a radio alarm sent out from the police short-wave broadcasting station, WPEE. Max Goldman had been held up in his grocery at 2149 Bath Ave. and robbed of $50 by three boys, and he notified the police. Soon afterward three boys answering the same descriptions held up Morris Eisman in his grocery at 2306 Bath Ave.

and stole $5. When the two policemen, in a radio-equipped automobile, received the alarm they were on the lookout for the boys and soon afterward saw an automobile at 86th St. and 12th Ave. in which three boys were riding. They questioned the boys and arrested them.

The boys identified themselves as Nicholas Derida, 16, of 1181 73d Joseph McGrath. 16, of 130 Dahlgren Place and Louis Pillar, 15, of 542 94th St. McGrath and Derida were held on charges of assault and robbery and Pillar on a charge of juvenile delinquency.

Ruling Voids Suit To Bar Synagogue In Zoned District Court Asserts Covenant Allowing Church in Area Means Any Place of Piety A church might be either a synagogue, mosque or temple, depending on the creed that uses it, Justice Steinbrink declared today in Supreme Court, and accordingly denied a plea for an injunction designed to prevent the construction of Temple Beth-El on Udall Mill Road and Florence in Nirvana Gardens, a section of Great Neck, L. I. The injunction was sought by Charles E. Cherry, whose home 1 is on Florence east of Polo Road. His property adjoins that of the temple and he contended that gathering of worshipers and the additional social activities incidental to the conduct of a synagogue would end the privacy intended by restrictive covenants.

Cherry declared that the restrictions in Nirvana Gardens limit the construction program to private dwellings not more than two stories in height and costing not less than $10,000, although a doctor or a dentist is permitted to have his office in his home and that a church or other houhe of worship were also allowed.

WILKINSON Echoes of the famous CalderKracke-Lockwood vS. Livingston test, which resulted in the ousting of the latter as Republican county leader, are reverberating today in' the 3d A. where Laurance MacNaughton and Mrs. Lulu Simonson are waging a red-hot battle to blast Walter J. Vernis and Mrs.

Elizabeth Cavagnaro out of the leadership. The central figure in this scrap is Mrs. Simonson, who was for ten who years vigorously co-leader of the supported district Living-. ston in his unsuccessful fight to. hold the leadership against Supreme Court Justice Meier Steinbrink.

Hopes for 'Rub Out' It is known that Kracke is dis-' tinctly unfriendly to the Naughton Simonson organization and is watching this contest closely in the hope that one of the last of the Livingston irreconcilables in the county will be completely rubbed out at the primary election next Tuesday. It also well known that Kracke: has made no effort to ease the MacNaughton-Simonson ticket out of the race and restore harmony in the district because he realizes that his efforts would be futile. "Nobody could make peace with Mrs. Simonson," was the way Vernie summed up the situation in the district today. "It is true that Mr.

Kracke has not taken any part in this he said. "I did not ask him to step in and I don't intend to. If for no other reason I do not feel that it is necessary." Vernie characterized the rival organization as the "burnt timber from the 1930 primary fight" and charged that it is 'not an honest fight." "There is no question about this not being an honest fight," he said, "because they have never done thing to support the organization in this district. We have repeatedly made efforts to bring about harmony but they absolutely refuse to listen." Vernie and Mrs. Cavagnaro nosed out Henry F.

O'Neill and Mrs. Simonson in the 1930 primaries by less than 40 votes and shortly after O'Neill lined up with the new leader, but Mrs. Simonson refused to budge. MacNaughton today verified the reports that Kracke has pursued strict hands-off policy in this squabble and virtually admitted that the county boss is not on good terma with his organization. "But it distinctly understood," he said, "that we are not fighting Mr.

Kracke. Our fight is solely with the present leaders who have proved themselves to be woefully weak and who have done nothing to build up the party in the district." MacNaughton pointed out that the district has never had a leader from the Bay Ridge end and said had a chance to see what it can do that "it is a about time this section in restoring the party in the 3d." At the present time there are about 1,700 enrolled Republicans in the district, with the downtown section having a slight edge over the Bay Ridge area. MacNaughton is admittedly strong in Bay Ridge, while Vernie has most of the lower end of the district sewed up. The election is expected to turn on the strength displayed by each of the candidates in his rival's stronghold and the prevailing opinion is that Vernie will retin his leadership by a small margin.

Rainey, after he received it, sought to effect an agreement whereby the House would meet at 11 o'clock in the morning instead of noon, as at present, and to adjourn each week from Friday until Monday. He was unsuccessful. Several members of the House have already collapsed as a result of the high nervous tension. Among them are Representative Collier of Mississippi, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, and Representative Sirovich of Manhattan. Collier was taken ill while the pending tax bill was being framed and has been unable to return to the House since.
