SWEEPING FISCAL REORGANIZATION URGED BY SMITH Would Make County Finances Virtually Independent of State Aid. Special by Eagle Staff Correspondent. Albany, March 3-Governor Smith, before he finishes his career as Chief Executive, will do all he can further a fiscal reorganization of the State and county systems, as sweeping as were the changes in State government effective during his administration. The Governor made known his intention before leaving for New York. It is probable he may make his first public announcement of the proposed revision at a luncheon of the Bar Association of the City of New York in Manhattan this afternon.

It Smith's underlying idea that county finances should be placed on a basis almost entirely independent of State aid. Smith's Major Proposals. Closely allied to the administration measure now before the Legislature, creating a commission for county government, along the lines followed Commission in its reorganization task, the Governor's new proposal calls for a complete revision of the State's fiscal system, particularly as it affects county affairs. The major proposals in the Governor's program Withdrawal affine State's annual contribution of approximately 000,000 to the counties, as far as it possible to do continuing its present share of $78,000,000 for support schools and teachers salary quotas. Abolition of State Tax.

Withholding of the 50 percent personal income tax which is now on to the localities and of the counties' share of corporation franchise taxes and other revenues. Relieving the counties of the percent of the cost of county highways, for which they are now assessed, and making the expense of highway construction and maintenance an exclusive State function. Abolition of the direct State real property, from which the State now derives an annual revenue about $25,000,000 on a one-mill tax basis, thereby relieving the counties of that amount of taxation, in compensation for the loss of State con- tributions. Aimed to Check Extravagance. The Governor's theory is that making the localities more dependent on their own resources is the surest way of checking extravagance of local political organizations and the building up of patronage systems.

He believes also that local government will be more efficient and economical if it is directly responsible to the people for all of the money it spends, instead of being able to shift part of the responsibility for the cost of local government onto the state. Regardless of the progress of the en new plan while he remains in office, the Governor intends to ask his successor, whether he be Republican or Democrat, to take up the problem when he leaves office next Jan. 1 and seek its solution. The Republican Viewpoint. The Republican leaders have shown no disposition to favor the creation of a commission to study county government with a view to centralization of county authority and consolidation of the smaller county units.

However, the Governor declared: "All I care is having the problem studied. I would be perfectly willing to have Charles Evans Hughes head the commission, or any other man that would not play organization politics in such an important Local governments, which themselves pinched for money under the proposed new system should be authorized to levy local income taxes, the Governor believes. But he is convinced that with the responsibility for cost of government placed so close to home, every endeavor would be made to keep expenditures at a minimum. CAPT. J.

They want to know who it is that Robert W. Stewart, Harry M. Blackmer and James E. O'Neil are protecting by their refusal to testify in the face of heavy penalties property confiscation or possible imprisonment. They are convinced that those who are thus being shielded must be persons of extraordinary position and influence to command this unprecedented protection.

Moses May Be Called. This conviction has been strengthened in the minds of members of the committee by rediscovery of a forgotten speech delivered by Senator George W. Moses. Republican, of New Hampshire, before the Marquette Club in New York on Feb. 14, 1924.

soon after Doheny had revealed his $100,000 "loan" to ex-Secretary Fall. In his speech Senator Moses said in discussing the oil scandals: "Those yet unnamed are greater in number and of far more consequence than the ones already involved. Of stifled is bound to come out." course, this, information cannot be Senator Moses is not an agitator or a sensationalist. He is one of the Old Guard Republican leaders who is generally credited with knowing more about what takes place behind the scenes than any man in Washington since the death of Penrose. The Senate Committee, therefore, may invite him to appear within the near future and tell exactly whom he meant and where he got his information.

Those Senators who have most closely followed the development of the evidence do not believe that Steware, Blackmer and O'Neil are leopardizing themselves in order merely to protect Harry F. Sinclair or Albert B. Fall. COURT HEARS PLEA FOR DISMISSAL OF BLACKMER CHARGE (Continued From Page 1.) from the inquiry into the naval oil reserve leasing, Representative Oldfield of Kansas, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, issued a statement in which he demanded that President Coolidge repudiate the Republican party leaders who received the $160,000 contribution from Harry F.

Stewart's indictment adds another phase to the already clogged Criminal Court docket resulting from the oll disclosures.

The other cases now pending follow: Bribery charges against Edward L. Doheny and his son growing out of the Elk Hills lease by Albert B. Fall.

B. Fitzgerald and H. R. Caulkins, RED MORAN'S PALS, NOW IN SING SING, TO TESTIFY AT TRIAL Warden Directed by Court to Bring Trio to Brooklyn on March 12. Justice Riegelmann in Supreme Court today signed an order directing warden of Sing Sing to bring to the the County Court on March 12 Joseph Lacurto, James deMichaeli3 and Robert Tate.

They are needed by David Malbin, counsel for Thomas "Red" Moran, as witnesses in the latter's new trial for first degree murder for the killing of Policemen Frank Daskiewicz and Edward T. Byrn on Hicks st. on Nov. 19, 1926. Lacurto is a lifer and deMichaelis and Tate are serving minimum terms of 20 years.

They and another youth were with Red Moran when the latter opened fire on the policemen who endeavored to inspect the motorcar in which they were cruising the Heights. They had been on burglary expeditions and were looking for another favorable place to rob. Moran's first conviction was upset by the Court of Appeals because County Judge Martin failed to tell the jury that they could find a lesser verdict than first degree murder. SEEK WAY TO PLACE JOBLESS TEACHERS Committee of Superintendents Will Try to Relieve Situation. With the purpose of finding methcds whereby the 1,500 unemployed ele-1 mentary school teachers can be placed in positions, a special committee of associate superintendents was formed at a meeting in the Board of Education yesterday.

They were instructed by Acting Superintendent of Schools Harold G. Campbell to consider seriously the suggestions made by Arthur S. Somers, Brooklyn member of the Board, and to discuss other means of improving the situation. committee comprises Associate Superintendents Charles W. Lyon and Margaret J.

McCooey, both of Brooklyn, and John E. Wade of the Bronx. In a letter, replying to Mr. Somers' that the situation has reached a crisis, Superintendent Campbell maintained that steps were taken some time ago to correct the oversupply of teachers. He said the requirements in License No.

1 test had been raised, and that the entrance I standards for teacher training schools had been. and will be, further increased. Examinations for substitute teachers have been discontinued. An exceptionally mild winter, which has caused very little illness among the permanent teachers, has aggravated the unemployment. In other winters the Hu number has been greatly decreased by the demand of substitutes to replace those confined to their homes, said Campbell.

The Police Department today waited for further information from Charles A. Levine before proceeding on the new trail opened late yesterday afternoon by the first transatlantic air passenger in the search for the "torch" slayer of Miss Margaret Brown, found burning to death at Bernardsville, N. on Feb.

20. From Levine and from Max Steuer, attorney, came word yesterday that a man who resembled published photographs of Dr. Louis Clement, wanted for questioning by the police in connection with the slaying of Miss Brown, had called on the flier-financier and had talked in large figures of purchasing planes for a $4,000,000 air line to South America. Deal for $4,000,000. This mysterious figure, according to Levine, called him by telephone some three weeks ago and then identified himself as "Dr.

Greunett," lately arrived from South America, and asked for an appointment. On Saturday afternoon. Feb. 11, he arrived in the office of Columbia Aircraft Company in the Whitehall Building a short, stocky figure, about 50 years old, who now gave his name as A. of a 50-passenger a capacity a each for the Karl Graves.

He wanted four planes governments of Peru, Argentina and Brazil and was ready to pay $750,000 each. He had $4,000,000 in cash to lay down. Levine thought his visitor was "a nut" until he mentioned that Max D. Steuer was his attorney. Never Paid Retainer.

In a subsequent meeting Steuer also arrived and a contract was drawn In this the name used was Armgaard Karl Graves, and it was this signature that was attached to the contract. Before the negotiations were completed, however, Levine stepped out of the room and sent in a note to Steuer that he did not know this "from Adam" and suggesting that the attorney obtain a retainer. "Graves" agreed to a retainer of $5,000 and further negotiations were held up until this was paid. It never was. Armgaard Karl Graves is the name of a colorful character during the early years of the World War, who was alleged to be an international German spy.

Others are being engaged today to take their places. Mr. Mahon denied that the arbitration proposal and the delay of a possible strike vote until next week was an indication of weakness on the part of the Amalgamated. He said: "The talk of the Amalgamated showing any weakness is utterly without foundation. Evidence that it is strong enough to completely tie up the Interboro lines can be found the forbearance which it has exercised so far.

The company has manifested its own opinion of our strength by frantically employing nicre than 2,000 strikebreakers. "This is hardly consistent with Mr. Hedley's estimate of 99 members in the Amalgamated. It is well known by all parties interested that the Amalgamated has an overwhelming majority of the I. R.

T. employees on its roll." Mr. Hedley, still maintaining that the number of Amalgamated employees is relatively small, admitted in his statement to the employees that they might be able to persuade others to go out with them in the event of a strike. He said: "They have been able to induce a small number of our men to join the Amalgamated. They boast that if even a few men strike they will bring about a situation which will cause large numbers of men who simply want be left alone to stay away from their jobs.

Hemstreet told Justice Riegelmann that Judge Martin believed he had the right to follow the procedure he did, on the theory that the prisoner had entered his original plea after being led to believe that he would be dealt with as a first offender for saving the county the time and expense of his trial.

His report accompanying Fascista electoral bill is a pungent essay on the weakness and failures of the democratic system.

As one who has run the gamut of anarchism. communism, pacifism, socialism, militarism and now fascism, Benito Musolini, named after one revolutionist and son of another, knows his governmental system. In turn he has believed in them all, tried them all, gone to jail for them all, and rejected them all. Now he is creating a system of his own, ing in it as a game. Here 1s somecan mold according to his thing he own fancy.

Now that he controls Italy completely with the Fascist militia the secret police, now that Fascist and terrorism has killed, exiled, or cowed imprisoned all opponents, he is free to build up before the eyes of an astonished world the kind of government he considers ideal. Democracy has no place in it. Mussolini has led mobs too long to have respect for them. "The masses any incapable of forming their own minds, much less of choosing men. The problem of government cannot be solved by trusting the illusory dogma of popular sovereignty, but it can be solved by the wise choice of a few leading spirits." The old system of choosing deputies from local districts is outworn.

That makes parliaments provincial rather national. It fosters "church steeple politics." So half of all the deputies to be elected to the Parliament will be carefully selected by the Fascist Grand Council in Rome. The other half will be chosen by the various Fascist guilds, thus representing not the political but the "productive" forces of the nation. But since these local guilds may not select the right men, the FasGrand Council reserves the right to eliminate from the local lists any it does not consider suitable. names In sum that makes the Fascist ollin Rome the final authority nominations.

BANK TELLER FACES ARRAIGNMENTTODAY ON FORGERY CHARGE Municipal Branch Employee Blamed for $3,300 Loss in to Aid Bootleggers. to Louis Lubarsky of 1050 Newport chief teller of the Nostrand Branch of the Municipal Bank, E. 15th st. and Avenue was to be arraigned in the Coney Court today on a charge of forgery growing out check transactions that resulted in loss of $3,300 to the bank. Lubarsky was arrested last night following the arraignment of Joseph Williams, alias Joseph White, of 560 Prospect said to be a confessed bootlegger, for grand larceny.

Williams was a depositor in the Nostrand Branch of the Municipal Bank under the name of White and had an account in the Midwood Trust Company, at Flatbush and Church under his own name. Investigation by Assistant District Attorney Harry Sullivan revealed that a ago Williams deposited his own checks for $2,400 on the Midwaad Bank to the account of "White" in the Municipal Bank. One of these checks, for $900, was returned and, it is charged, Lubarsky covered that up by shifting a deposit slip with that amount from another account. On Monday Williams deposited $2,400 more in checks on the Midwood Bank to his "White" account and all of them were returned for lack of funds, but meanwhile he had drawn against the White account. Williams was held in $5,000 bail for further hearing.

GRAND JURY PROBE FACED BY COPS FOR AIDING 'SEWER KING' District Attorney Edwards, Investigating Other Cases, May Look Into "Protection." (Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. March 3-There looms today the possibility that alleged protection given by the Freeport police to John M. Phillips, big pipe and sewer man of Queens, may yet be the subject of grand jury ininvestigation. Should the investigation be ordered. one of the matters that would be taken up would be the presence of John N.

Hartman, Freeport's 70- year -old chief of police, in an automobile with Mrs. Phillips while it was being pursued by process servers last month. One of the process servers, Arthur Howard, was arrested for speeding during the chase. Hartman admitted being in the car with Mrs. Phillips, when Howard was tried and found guilty.

The possibility of a sweeping investigation of the entire Freeport department comes as a result of an investigation of two specific charges against members of the department which Elvin N. Edwards, District Attorney, has carried to the Grand Jury. Neither of these complaints involves police activity in connection with Phillips nor has any such complaint been received. Mr. Edwards today said, however, that the results of the two investigations would disclose whether there was anything radically wrong with Freeport police activities in general.

Should such a disclosure result, he said, he would order a sweeping investigation of the entire denartment. Hartman asserted todey ho would welcome any i investigation. The two cases the Grand Jury will invest gate concern the finding of Detective Arthur Smith in a Bennington Park speakeasy, Freeport, when it W25 raided lest Saturday, and the complaint of Arthur Eates that he was threatened with physical violence when he went to the Freeport police I station efter he had been charged with improper parking. State Appropriations To Total $230,000,000 Albany, March 3 Appropriations, totaling $230,000,000 for the State government for the next fiscal year, or $1,000,000 more than provided by the Smith budget, will be made before the Legislature adjourns. The Republican leaders started out by slashing $1,000,000 from the Governor's budget.

Now, it develops, they will spent that $1,000.000, but another $1,000,000 as well. The Governor yesterday approved a highway bill of $20,000,000 0 and two bills appropriating $3,000,000 are yet to be passed. WEIRD POWER IN TUBE KILLS, COOKS, WRECKS, RACES BLOOD PRESSURE (Continued From Page 1.) solution corresponding in strength to blood serum is heated most. Description of "Miracle" Tube. The tube itself is about five inches in diameter and about two feet long, set down in a wooden cage and surrounded by a network of wires, condensers and electric meters.

The tube operates as a self -excited oscillator on a wave length of six meters and is capable of radiating from 10 to 15 kilowatts of high-frequency powerprobably 50 times as much as any short-wave tube has heretofore been able to produce. The tube is connected through a coupling system to a copper bar, approximately three meters long, which constitutes the tuned aerial circuit, and is able to radiate into space full 15 kilowatts generated by the oscillator. "This six-meter tube has nothing new in principle." said H. J. Nolte, one of the experimenting engineers.

"Very short radio waves have always been easy to preduce at low power. Also, very high power has for some time been available at the longer wave lengths. This is the first time, however, that we haves been able to combine the two, to get relatively large power outputs on the short wave lengths." As to the possible practical uses of the tube, another of the engineers, L. A. Hawkins.

said: "We have not studied the tion of the new tube all, except to make a record of the interesting sidelights which its operation has brought out. The demonstrations indicato that many of the high frequency phenomena may be worth investigating, and it is likely that in the future apIplications will suggest themselves as they always do when a new field IS entered." Among the stunts demonstrated with the high frequency apparatus was "radio cooking." A wire was suspended over a table at some distance from the radiating aerial and parallel to it. Sausages Oddly Cooked. A sausage placed in a glass was hung from the end of this tutor ceiving aerial and a few minutes was beautifully cooked. although no flame or other visible means of heatting was applied.

Likewise eggs were fried. cookies were baked and water boiled by the inducted currents received through space. Most striking of the short wave effects was the standing electric arc. a close imitation of the famous ball of fire reputed to accompany tropical thunderstorms. The operator touched the end of the radiating aerial with metal tipped pole and immediately a greenish white arc rose a to a height of a foot or more.

When the pole was removed the arc remained like a plume of fire sputtering and sending molten copper in all directions until blown out. By manipulation many 35 three of these arcs were, established simultaneously along the aerial, giving tho appearance of a row of flaming gas jets. Where does the elector come in? Mussolini says that he does not propose to establish an autocratic systom. He wants the voters to function. They are to go to the polls and vote in favor of the candidates set up by the Fascist Grand Council.

They cannot split their tickets. They must vote for all or against all.
