in House Act Tomorrow on One of Allen, Wagner Were Pledged Mercy, Is Claim U. S. Attorney Denies Leniency Promised for Aid Against Associates Albert R. Allen and Edward P. Wagner, former vice presidents of the Long Island National Bank of Astoria, helped as Government witnesses to convict their associates in the former management of that bank, expecting to receive suspended sentences for their services, it was learned today.

Those associates were William H. Siebrecht, former president, and seven former directors of the bank. They were found guilty by a Jury before Federal Judge Galston last month of conspiracy to defraud the bank of some $40,000 in realty transactions with the bank's funds, and all were given jail sentences. Jointly indicted with the convicted men, Allen and Wagner pleaded guilty prior to their associates' trial to an indictment charging them with filing a false report about the bank's financial condition. They are now scheduled for trial on the conspiracy indictment on Feb.

4. Quash Cases, Is Plea In an effort to compel Federal Attorney Ameli to nol. pros, the conspiracy Indictment as to them, Harold L. Turk, attorney for Allen, called upon the Attorney General in Washington a fortnight ago, it developed today. When several days passed without the transmission of a nol.

pros, order from Washington, Turk filed In Brooklyn Federal Court a motion that seeks to compel Ameli to take that action. This motion is to be argued before Judge Moscowitz on Monday. "While there is no exact precedent in law for our motion," Turk said today, "we are seeking the nol-pros. as a matter of equity, predicated on related decisions of the United States Supreme Court. These held that the Government is bound In honor to carry out arrangements under which a witness testifies for the Government and in effect against himself.

Claim Agreement Made "The arrangement under which Allen testified, I am inforced by his prior counsel, provided that Ameli was to dismiss all indictments against Allen and Wagner, except the misdemeanor charge, to which they pleaded guilty, and that they were to receive a suspended sentence Probe Blasts And Blaze in New City Tube Brophy Seeks Cause of Fire That Crippled a Thousand Telephones Fire Marshal Brophy last night began an investigation of the underground fire in the new city subway cut at Bond and Schermer-horn which yesterday burned the insulation off high voltage electric feed wires, melted telephone wires, put out of commission about 1,900 telephones on the Cumberland, Main and Triangle exchanges and caused electric lights to dim and flicker In about 600 homes, theaters and stores In the vicinity. Five hundred of the telephone lines cut off by the blasts were restored to service last night. Five emergency crews of the New York: Telephone Company, 30 men In all, working away in cramped quarters in the tube, expect to nave all but 100 of the remaining lines back in service early today. The other lines will have to be traced by daylight. Hospital Line Cut Off Holy Family Hospital, the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company, and several coal companies whose phones were cut off, had emergency service by 6 o'clock last night.

There were 100 lines affected in the Main exchange; 400 in Triangle and 1,400 in Cumberland. Fire burned three big cables. When this happened the Triangle office equipment was also short circuited, and it was 15 minutes before service In the office itself was restored. The' Brooklyn Edison Company, pressing every available emergency man in the borough into service, had restored its service during the afternoon to normalcy. A series of underground explosions drew a big crowd as water from a broken main flowed over exposed portions of the high voltage cables.

Two firemen who attempted to get at the underground blaze were knocked down by the series of blasts but escaped serious injury. In addition to the Edison and Telephone Company cables, the Livingston St. cables of the B. M. which feed several trolley lines, run through the cut.

First 3 Measures Spon sored by N. Y. Senator Eagle Bureau, Colorado Bulldinf. By LEO EGAN Washington, Jan. 31 When the House convenes at noon on Monday, Chairman Graham of the Judiciary committee will move for the passage of the Wagner long range public works planning bill.

Since the bill has been modified to meet all objections and is now accepted by the Administration, it is expected to receive almost unanimous approval. This bill was one of three which reposed In the inside pocket of the perfectly tailored double breasted blue coat which Robert F. Wagner wore when, just a little more than three years ago, he stepped from a train at Union Station to begin his duties as one of New York's United States Senators. Of the remaining two bills, one providing for the collection of unemployment statistics, has been enacted into law and the other is now reposing on the House calendar and is expected to stay there until the end of the present session. It provides for the creation of a number of employment exchanges or Federal job agencies in various parts of the country.

Introduced at First Session All three bills were Introduced at Wagner's first session but there was no depression then and they languished In committee while he inaugurated a Senate investigation of unemployment and waged a successful fight to have a tabulation of the unemployed made in connection with the 1930 census. Long years in public life had not served to wipe out his recollection of his early years in Manhattan as an Immigrant boy from Germany when the prospect of going for a long period without work was an ever present worry. During the boom days of the early part of 1929 the new bills gathered dust in Senate committee rooms. Then came the 1929 stock market crash and the New Yorker's program, as embraced in the three proposed laws, was the only one before Congress. Hastily the bills were resurrected and passed by the Senate almost without a dissenting vote.

Wagner Asked Action By the time they reached the other end of the Capitol, however, considerable momentum had been lost and the bills appeared destined to remain in House committee pigeonholes for the rest of the present Congress. Not satisfied, Wagner crossed the Capitol, appeared before the Judiciary Committee' and asked for action. Social legislation of the type represented in the three bills is not new to the Junior Senator from New York. He is the author of the present workman's compensation law in New York State and is also the author of the first opinion upholding the constitutionality of New York's emergency rent tews. ROBERT CHADEAYNE BALLANTVNE, 26, of 372 6th Ave.

died Friday after an Illness of about a month. Mr. Ballantyne had been employed as civil engineer by the New York Central Railroad tor the last year and half. He was a former employe of the Board of Transportation In the same capacity. He graduated from Trl-State College, Angola, in 1926.

Re attended Manual Training High School as a boy. Mr. Ballantyne is survived by his wife, Perl Pool Ballantyne, and his parents, Frederick A. and Estelle Chadeayne Ballantyne. Funeral service and interment will be at Stratford, tomorrow.

TRiangle Officials Fear Litigant in Unfinished Cases May Have Wed Again Justice Harry E. Lewis has issued a call to lawyers In 254 aban-doried divorce cases to appear in Special Term, Part 2 of the Supreme Court on Friday, Feb. 13, and explain why they have not completed the actions they started and wnlcn have left the calenders and records of the court in an unfin ished state. mosi serious consequences are liable to arise from 133 of the cases, In which Interlocutory divorce de crees have been filed, but no finals Court officials are investigating one particular case, in which the woman In the case, who was plaintiff, mar ried without a final decree being entered. Her second marriage was void but she did not know that until her second husband walked out on her and sent back word that her divorce from her first husband was "no good." She is without legal re dress against the second man.

Suit Died With Gangster The investigation by George Conrady, chief divorce clerk of the Supreme Court, disclosed that the late Frank Yale's first wife, Marie, never got a final decree, although the slain gangster married another girl. It was said. The Interlocutory decree" was entered June 12, 1928, and on July 1 of the same year Yale was killed. James O. Sclleppi, Marie's attorney, contends the divorce suit died with the defendant.

Whether other men or women have remarried with only Interlocutory decrees, has not been disclosed so far. The court holds that it is the duty of the attorney who brings a divorce case to see that the case Is completed or formally discontinued, even though his client has not advanced filing fees or other disbursements. Formal notices were sent to the lawyers in the 254 cases and already there has been considerable scurrying to linish incomplete cases. 93 Cases Untried There are 93 cases which have appeared on the calender but which have not been tried. Some of them pre more than two years old.

These cases, when they are called by Justice Lewis on Feb. 13, will have to be marked for a definite trial date, or else they will be dismissed. There are 28 cases which have been tried, but no interlocutory decrees have been entered. If the decrees are not prepared by the plaintiffs Inwvprfi' fhpv will hovn trt some explaining before Justice Lewis, and it may go hard with some of the lawyers who neglected to furnish their clients with final decrees. Some of the latter have not been docketed because the filing fees were not paid.

Dora Margulies. U.bi Isaac Miller. vs. Fein Nerdfora, Dining there ceased to be a custom and became a rite. Business began to flourish.

The boys who used to enter It with boredom and leave with relief began going with anticipation and leaving with regret. Eating became a pleasure, instead of a duty. What a Manager! It wasn't a miracle; it was a new manager. And what a manager! A 22-year-old who was graduated from Skidmore College last June, appeared at the three weeks later and, with consummate intrepidity, took over the management of the extensive dining facilities. Jane Brett, it must be recorded, didn't say that she was 22 and that the dew of college was still fresh upon her.

She didn't make any serious commitments at all, beyond alleging that she could handle the dining room there: and she smiled In her completely disarming and collegiate manner. The authorities said it wasn't usual this having a woman manager; that she looked young for her years 27, did she say? but that they did need a manager and they would try her out anyway. Jane Starts In Jane Brett rolled up her slr.eves and went to work. Today the restaurant is doing a record business. A deficit of $1,000 which hung over It seven months ago has been wiped out.

Miss Brett supervises the serv ing of 800 meals daily to the regular diners, keeps open a buffet, and makes plans for ten or 12 banquets each week. Her activities are manifold. She plans the menus, buys the food, concocts new recipes and tells the cook how to make them. She directs ayaff of 35 persons, including nine waitresses who serve the evening meal. She watches the cooks, watches the service, knows every one of the 800 men who dine In her restaurant, and many of the people served at the banquets.

When any of her "boys" are sick che arranges special dishes for them, and when they aren't sick she arranges special dishes for them anyway the kind they like best. Considers Jobless She served a table d'hote dinner until some of the boys lost their jobs and couldn't afford it; then she began serving an a la carte meal better suited to their purses. She gets on the job at 7 in the morning and stays there until 9 in the evening, supervising every phase of the day's work. Those who worked under her as well as those who dined were captivated by her personality. The former manager had been considered strict, uncompromising, preoccupied.

Miss Brett was strict, too, but she knew where kindness would be more profitable than sternness. When any of her staff became sick she fed them codliver oil and mothered them back to health. When she found her West Indian baker jumping rope while the bread baked, in an effort to get a little exercise, she arranged a recess period during which the cook and the rest of the staff could get exercise, either by walking around the block or on the roof. People seeing the white-capped brigade parading around the block the first day thought there had been a strike. Miss Brett laughed contentedly.

The Secret's Out Strike? You couldn't hire that crowd to strike! If you ask her what the secret of her success is she says, mysteriously, Steaks and whipped cream. Men I will do anything for those two things." Miss Brett is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Brett of New York and Beacon. Her father Is head of a firm that supplies hotels and restaurants.

No one in the Brett household imagined for a monent that Jane was bent on having a career, and the elder Bretts even voiced pointed sentiments about a woman's place eing in the home, when their daughter showed signs of ideas at variance with that philosophy. But Jane majored in dietetics and psychology at Skidmore and, during her course, concluded that If you cpn capture a man's heart by feeding him, you can change your parents' minds by showing them and she did. "They wouldn't let be come home now if I wanted to," she says. Obituaries MRS. ELIZABETH DCNN, widow of John W.

Dunn, died on Thursday in her 71th year. Mrs. Dunn was born In Scotland and Irvtd here for about 50 years. She Is survived by two sons, John E. and Joseph H.

Dunn. Funeral services are to be at the home of her son. John at 1546 E. 53i St. this afternoon at two o'clock, interment Is to be In Greenwood Cemetery.

FRANK B. JACKSON, 78, retired accountant and bookkepper. died at the home of his son, Herbert H. Jackson. 1014 E.

14th on Thursday after a brief Illness. Mr. Jackson was In the employ of Nathan lane Sons, Manhattan, for many years. He was born In Ohio, and had made his home In Brooklyn for more than 20 years prior to 1905 when he moved to Northport. L.

86 Lfferts Place, this afte-noon at 2 30 o'clock. Intenrent Is to be In the family plot at Ofeenwood Cemetery. writers have written to thef editor, telling him Jbhe same thing. Legislators in Albany have added their denunciations. It seemed to your reporter that such practically universal agreement was, in a way, too bad.

Surely, said he, this is all destructive criticism. Surely, he thought, one should be fair to the one-man trolley cars and try to find something constructive to say about them something, in short, in their favor. That's why this reporter, dropping everything else, went forth on the highways of Brooklyn and rode on the new trolley cars with a combination motorman-conductor each and found what he sought. He found, in brief, that there was something in their favor. The one-man trolley cars, you will be glad to learn, are already transforming the people of Brooklyn, making them quick, alert, wideawake.

Oh, yes, indeed. The reporter began to watch for effects on a St. John's Place one-man car. It happened that the car stopped at a corner. Up at the front, where the one man stood and labored, passengers were coming on, a dozen or so of them.

Attending to them, he ignored three or four who waited anxiously at the center doors, prepared to get, off. The doors did not open. Suddenly Made Spry At once the three or four became active and alert. Very swiftly, they pressed buttons, they called out to the motorman-conductor: "Yoo-hoo! Open the door!" And, when he finally did, they leaped out nimbly and with great speed. For they knew very well, from experience, that at any moment the doors might suddenly close and they didn't want that.

It was a block or so farther on that the car stopped again to let off two passengers a youngster about 2 years old and his obviously proud father. The father stepped off first, quickly, but not quickly enough. As he turned to help his son and heir down the doors closed with a bang, cutting off father and son. For the motorman-conductor, unable to see the baby from where he stood, had assumed that all passengers expecting to get off here were gone. Dad Does a Sprint Well, you can imagine how all this added to everybody's training in alertness and speed.

The father dashed madly alongside the now speeding trolley car. The remaining passengers Jumped up speedily to press buttons and shout, "Hey, wait a minute." Thh fatherless child burst into tears. And when, at last, the car stopped and the doors were reopened the father snatched his son with much improved speed and alertness. But It was not until the reporter left the St. John's line and boarded the B.

M. newest type of one-man car that he really learned the extent of the good done. There is a new-fangled metal plate at the base of the exit doors of these cars and by stepping on the plate, once the car has stopped, you open the doors. The motherly little woman who wanted to get off at XXX St. didn't know about that and she waited patiently for the doors to open.

Nothing happened and, with nervous haste, she pressed a Dutton. The conductor-motorman interrupted his making of change and shouted: "Step on the plate, lady." The lady looked around and saw no crockery to step on. "Step on the plate," a fellow-passenger helped her. "The metal plate down there." The lady stepped hastily forward. The doors opened suddenly, striking her not too gently on the nose.

As she was recovering from that, they closed again. The one-man up front, busy with oncoming passengers, had not had time to see that she was still on the car. But at the next block the motherly lady tried again and, having learned from experience, succeeded. She stepped quickly forward, right wi to the plate. She stepped quickly back, just in time to avoid the opening doors.

Then she stepped quickly out of the car, jumping off the rather high step. Her newly acquired speed and alertness were beautiful to watch. Well all that only goes to show there is good in the one-man trolley-car, too, if you only look at it the right way. Editor, Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Am writing of my experience on one-man cars of both the Gates Ave. and the Bergen St.

lines as the brakes seem to be the same or Is it the motorman. When you stand in the car and try to get your bearings they are jerked, so that you either fall or get your arm nearly jerked out of its socket. Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock I got off a Gates Ave. car. Right in front of the exit doors the street was very icy.

As I stepped down on the pavement I felt a hand clutch my shoulder with such force I bent backward and turned around just In time to see the lady in back of me slip. Only that I could catch her hand and a couple of men were able to grab her, she might have rolled under the car and the motor-man would have gone right on and never known a thing, for when once you take your foot off the plate he knows no more. So why not have a conductor to see when people alight safely and then give the motorman his signal to go. C. E.

School Education Dr. Crizzell Finds Both Countries Developing Fa cilities in Certain Lines Where the English high school aims to make boys potential scholars and polished gentlemen, thf American high school educaticn Is regarded as an extension upward of educational opportunity for the masses, Including not only cultural studies but vocational, technical, commercial, agricultural and trade training, too. This, thinks Dr. E. D.

Grlzzell, professor of secondary education at the University of Pennsylvania, In a communication of School Life, official organ of the U. S. Office of Education, is the greatest academic difference between American and English high school education. "The English teacher regards his work as dominantly an art, with interests largely academic and cultural," Dr. Grizzell says.

"He is not so much interested in purpose and technique as he is in his field or subject not so much interested in the boy as a biological, psychological, sociological specimen as he is in the boy as a human being a future leader In English society. "There are some great teachers in both countries who recognize education as both an art and a science," says Dr. Grizzell, "and upon these the profession in both countries must depend for progressive leadership." England does not favor large high schools. When the demand from a rapidly increasing clientele becomes too great a new school is established, Dr. Grizzell said, contrasting the 9.000 enrollment of De Witt Clinton High and more than 8,000 of New Utrecht High, Brooklyn, with London's Strand School with 500.

Dr. Grizzell discovered fewer than 300 coeducational schools in about 1,500 English institutions of high school level. Of 20,000 high schools in this country, fewer than 100 are not coeducational. Dr. Grizzell finds both countries have developed special facilities for science, practical arts and fine arts, and are placing increasing emphasis on the Improvement of physical facilities.

"There is a charm and atmosphere that pervades the English school that is larely achieved in an American school. The school halls, the desks, the chapel breathe the spirit of tradition and wage-old custom. England values these old 'shells' as a reminder of a glorious past. America has no such respect for the old." He also believed the American schoolmaster of the "hickory" stick has been superseded by the "modern, trained educator, with an attitude of friend and counselor replacing the antagonistic feeling which formerly existed between pupil and teacher." GUNMEN SHOOT GANG LEADER AND TWO COPS Continued from Page 1 rials dealers, at Pleasant Ave. and 109th when three gunmen entered with drawn pistols.

Conkling grappled with one of them. The pistol went off twice, bullets striking a wall and a window. The robber struck him on the head with the butt of the weapon, knocking him unconscious. The holdup men then escaped with the payrool. At almost the same time three other gunmen Invaded the office of the Imperial Paper Box Company, 505 Sackman where a payrool of $1,500 was about to be distributed among employees.

In the Sackman St. factory office when the bandits arrived were Morris Sukoff, 894 Linden Boulevard, president of the firm; Norris La-zone, treasurer, 594 Bradford and two bookkeepers. Miss Dorothy Starr, 27, of 823 Douglas and Miss Rose Radin of 456 Georgia Ave. The money, in envelopes ready for distribution to the factory force, had just been taken from the safe and placed on a desk. While two of the well dressed young gunmen covered the officers and bookkeepers, the third put the envelopes into a pasteboard box from which he dumped stationery.

With a warning to make no move or outcry for five minutes, the swarthy young bandits then made off. Burglar Suspect Held Joseph Droz, alias Perez, 28, of 94 Tillary who is suspected of having taken part in 25 burglaries in the upper West Side of Manhattan, was held without bail yesterday in Washington Heights Court, Manhattan, on charges growing out of two of the crimes. Droz was arrested after he tried to pawn several stolen articles in a pawnshop at 19 Bridge St. Complainants were in court. They were William Dodd, 700 Riverside Drive, and Boris Brasol of 612 W.

145th St. Droz was accused of taking $600 worth of jewelry from Dodd's anartment on Jan. 21 and of entering the Brasol apartment Jan. 28 and taking a similar amount of jewelry. Jane Brett Rose vs.

Abraham Redelhatm. New Aerial Defense Outlined by Davison Washington, Jan. 31 W) An important advance in attack aviation was fcrecast for the near future today by Assistant Secretary Davison of the War Department, in addressing the Women's Patriotic Conference on National Defense. "The new attack plane," he said, "will have greatly increased speed and terrific power of destruction. One squadron will fire 68,400 rounds of ammunition a minute and at the same time drop two and one-half tons of bombs." He said 500 planes will concentrate on the Atlantic seaboard in May for combat tests.

Girl Church Worker Is Held for Murder Pensaccla. Jan. 31 (A)A charge of murder was lodged late today against Miss Gretchen Greg-ciy, 19-year-old Sunday school teacher and a member of a prominent Pensacola family, whose companion, Henry Moore, a married man, was fatally wounded under mystrriouf circumstances on a highway near here early today. She told police two f.ien shot him. on that guilty plea.

"The arrangement was made known to Judge Galston before the trial, and. with knowledge of the arrangement Judge Galston permitted Allen and Wagner to testify. When they came up for sentence on the misdemeanor charge Judge Galston refused to give them a suspended sentence." Allen and Wagner, at the prosecution of their former associates swore that "no definite promises" had been made them but that they "expected consideration." "The arrangements as to sentence were not made with them," said Turk when this was called to his attention. "Ameli made the arrangements with their then counsel, Meier Steinbrink." Arrangement Explained "The arrangements," according to Assistant Federal Attorney Singer, who prosecuted the case, "consisted solely of a promise to recommend a suspended sentence. Judge Gals-ton's response to it was: 'I'll consider the Federal attorney's recommendation, but will investigate all of the circumstances before I pro nounce When Allen and Wagner came up for sentence they withdrew their guilty pleas to the misdemeanor charge.

A similar withdrawal of a guilty plea to a misdemeanor was at the same time made for William Douglas Mott, former president of the Elm-hurst National Bank, by his lawyer, Joseph H. Wackerman. Mott testified against W. Douglas Miller, a noted broker, on' a mail fraud charge, expecting a suspended sen tence and dismissal of a conspiracy indictment covering alleged em bezzlements by himself and Miller from the Elmhurst bank. Mott's case was before Judge Inch, who sat with Judge Galston on the sentencing day.

Mott stood trial two weeks later with Miller on the conspiracy indictment and was acquitted. Miller was previously acquitted on the mail frauds charge.

George J.

Patterson, President GENERAL OFFICES 295 Livingston Brooklyn, N. Y. Deliveries Throughout Qucena and Nassau Here are some more protest letters on one-man cars received by The Eagle: Editor, Brooklyn Daily Eagle: I have ridden over 15 years daily on the Gates Ave. line before the cars were operated by one man, and I scarcely had a delay. But since the one-man trolley has been placed in operation, delays are frequent.

When one comes along after waiting about 15 minutes, it usually passes you by, as it is then overcrowded. Not only that, there will come four or five at a time, causing delays on other lines at Fulton Street. You are late frequently, and this is important to me, as I am an employed person. Your nerves are all shaken up, also your digestion, as you are thrown in all directions when you are waiting for change or trying to obtain a seat. If you do get a seat, you need a pitchfork to pull you out of it, and have to disturb the person alongside of you to let you pass out, as the seats are so narrow.
