BLACKFORD The Whitestone College Point civic groups which are fighting to make the city accept the Long Island Railroad's offered gift of its Whitestone branch and tack it on to the new municipal subway system may win their battle--but find the line attached as the tail of the proposed 149th St. extension out of Main Flushing, instead of serving as a separate trunk northward along the western edge of the district. As at present laid out the route proposed to serve the College 1 Point area north of Flushing Bay runs out of the Main station along Roosevelt, Ave. northward to and 149th follows where that street to 11th Ave. in Whitestone.

at which point it swings westward and continues along 11th Ave. through Malba to College Point, terminating at 122d Ave. For whole distance along 11th Ave. laid out practically on the, the Whitestone railroad right of way. Elementary logic would dictate that two rights of way side by side are not wanted, especially when the owner of one wants to abandon it.

Extends to Beechhurst If the layout as it stands at present progresses to adoption the city will doubtless find it convenient to need the portion of the Whitestone branch along 11th Ave. and undoubtedly will move to accept the railroad's offer to deed over the property for $1. The property might include the remainder of the Long Island Railroad right of way, both south and east of the city's line. The eastern extension might be used. It reaches Beechhurst, which is unserved directly by present plans.

The southern extension is not wanted by the city at present because it runs through a section of lowland which planning experts have condemned as never likely to support a sort of building developthat would provide enough riders to make subway operation pay. The swing of the present route eastward and northward before penetrating the College Point district was made deliberately so the line will be carried through high ground available for future intensive anartment house developmentand it is this kind of building that supnlies enough riders to support ranid transit service. Even the development of the low section for factory purposes--if such a develonment extensive degree should occur-is not regarded as sufficient justification for extension of expen- subway lines there now. See Heavy Expenditures If the city should take the line as the tube route to the north out of Flushing, it would, engineers point out, be called upon to make enormous expenditures immediately to eliminate grade crossings through the low districts, where the chance of getting many passengers in the near future is exceedingly small.

Potter of Smithtown, Suffolk County (above), is today reported resting comfortably in the Roosevelt Hospital, 1 Manhattan, where he was rushed for an operation for appendicitis following his return from Albany last night. Ridgewood Tube Link Hearing Is On Today Hearings on the propsed extension of the Queens rapid transit system were continued today before the Board of Transportation when civic leaders were heard on the proposed Ridgewood link, between the Queens Boulevard subway and the include Garfield Place Rockaway line.

M. Bryant High Fire Hazard, Principal Says Dr. Warren in Plea to Board of Education Urges New Building Characterizing the environment of Bryant High School at Academy St. and Wilbur Long Island City, as "undesirable" and its facilities "antiquated," constituting a "fire hazard," Dr. James P.

Warren, principal, yesterday asked the Board of Superintendents to erect a new building and convert the present one into an industrial school. Associate Superintendent William A. Boylan, to whom request was referred, said today the Board of Education would replace no existing high schools until outlying, unserved sections had their school needs provided for. The Queens Borough Chamber of Commerce last night indorsed Dr Warren's request, as have numerous other civic groups in Long Island City, Astoria and Sunnyside. Explaining his request, Dr.

Warren said the high school environment is no longer residential but "industrial," which he considers "improper" contact for pupils. So great is noise of traffic, Dr. Warren said the classes cannot be conducted when windows are opened in spring, summer and fall, He said there were no teachers' lunch rooms and dressing rooms. Rooms used by administrative assistants were originally designed for storage, Dr. Warren said.

The student cafeteria is crowded, 2.400 pupils, added. eating during four periods, While equipment installed in the machine was the best then, in 1909, Dr. Warren says, machines are still "belt-driven" and should be changed to electrically-driven for safety."

The aged defendant, a ery pushcart peddler, did not obtain his complete freedom without a struggle, however, as Detectives Heynor and, Krause of the Jamaica Squad attempted to arrest him again on a charge of receiving stolen goods in connection with the crime of which he was found not guilty.

Grant protested vocally and physically. "Let me alone. let me he shouted, his voice echoing throughout the corridors of the court house.

The detectives did not attempt to strike him but hauled him into a room in the District Attorney's office. Assistant District Attorney Anthony Babisk, who prosecuted Grant on the burglary charge, then took command and expressed the opinion that it would amount to persecution to rearrest the defendant, and Inspector Gallagher agreed. Grant was freed and he hurried from the building with his two nieces and hurried to his Bowery home.
