McGee had only one object in mind; namely, bringing about a withdrawal of myself and Mrs. Jackson from the primary fight. I was promised everything from Congressman to Assemblyman and Alderman. "Reading through trie lines I clearly ascertained that as soon as I withdraw in favor of McKee he would step out for Wogan and that his withdrawal would take place after the time allowed for the filing of petitions had expired. I was fully convinced of this later, when I learned that Wogan was at all times cognizant of the conferences and of the developments thereof.

"I am, therefore, of the opinion that McGee's alleged hatred for Wogan is a political sham; that Wogan was behind the attempted deal and that In this primary Wogan is McGee and McGee is Wogan. "In conclusion I state positively and without equivocation that under no circumstances or conditions will I withdraw from the fight against Wogan or McGee." Thomas J.

Mae Littleton Crowley, co-executive member of the club. About 100 women attended the affair. The attractive and extensive grounds were decorated with colored lights, paper lanterns and flowers and tables and chairs were arranged In an enclosure bordered by trees and bushes. The garden walk provided a stage for the entertainment. The master of ceremonies was John McMahon, member of the old "University Quartette." Mr.

McMahon pattered in lively fashion on the piano keys accompanying his talented three sons and a daughter, whose harmony numbers kept the audience calling for more. The McMahon Quartet members were Frank, John Richard and Mary. Michael Hanrahan, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Hanrahan, performed on the harmonica with true Borah Minnivitch style.

Two girls who made the crowd sit up were Mary McKeon, blues singer, and Florence Webb, staff pianist of Radio Station WLTH.

Curnin and Thomas J. McGee, rival candidates for the throne of the Democratic leadership of the 9th A.

clashed last night in one of the most stirring moments yet staged in the primary tilt of the district. Curnin had issued a statement to Home Talk in which he charged he was convinced that McGee was acting in behalf of Deputy Register Wogan. McGee was shown the statement and asked to comment on the charges. McGee's first reaction was a denial, then, prompted by Robert Leik, Donald O'Toole and Julian Carraba he decided to face Curnin personally and question him about the statement. O'Toole by telephoning the New Outlook Democratic Club determined that Curnin was to appear at the Nordic Democratic Club at 830 54th an organization supporting his leadership candidacy.

In a machine driven by Carabba, McGee, O'Toole and Leik journeyed to the Jfordic Club where they awaited the arrival of Curnin, who arrived accompanied by Andrew Jackson, James Hagan, James Bua, Philip McManus and Matthew Benvenuto, president of the Unity Political Club and a candidate for the Assembly. Arriving before Cumin made his appearance McGee and his men at first sat in on the routine meeting and later adjourned to the first floor where they awaited Curnin. When the regular meeting of the Nordic organization had been ended Cumin met McGee with a little less than a score of followers of both leaders present. McGee at first charged that Curnin had violated confidence In that he had released news on the recent conferences between the two. This Curnin denied and declared that reports regarding the proposed merger were circulating in the district long before they were published.

It was also revealed that the first contact between the two came when Cumin and McGee met at the comer of 75th St. and 5th Ave. and drove to a nearby park where they arranged for subsequent conferences. McGee then made a number of charges concerning the terms discussed at the conferences, which he later embodied In a formal state- ment. Curnin denied them.

McGee then presented to Curnin the statement which he had released and asked him if It was his. Continued on Page 2 to Patrolman was held in $2,500 bail for ex amination nAug. 7. Louis Mintz of 9623 Farra- gut Road was the complainant. According to Patrolman John E.

The play was presented on a portable stage, at the foot of Lookout Hill, on the old Bliss estate at 67th St.

and Colonial Road. More than 1,500 seats were arranged at the foot of the hill, and the balance of the audience found comfortable seats on the grassy slopes, which provided a natural ampitheater. "Cinderella" was presented by children of the Greenpoint YV W. C. A.

in the afternoon and about 800, principally mothers and children, attended. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" drew a large number of elderly neighbors in the park vicinity to witness the ever popular heart-throb thriller. Among them was Mrs. Catherine Miner, 80-year-old resident and mother-in-law of William Kinnally, caretaker of the park. Mr.

and Mrs. A. Berger of 68th both near 75 years of age, were among the early comers for the first curtain and occupied seats in the front row. "Cinderella," given by the Juvenile cast under the direction of John Ferguson, supervisor, Marvin Sandusky and Miss Marguerite Vane, assistant directors, proved to be a real comedy of errors. The Prince had such a difficult time fitting Cindy to her slipper that the audience broke into outbursts of laughter, followed by quips from scattered sections.

"Her feet are too big." "Hey, you'd never get a job in a shoe store!" The horried stepsisters of Cinderella were treated to "yah! yah's!" and everybody had a good time. The actors didn't appear to mind the Interruptions at all. Probably because they came from a hardy section of Brooklyn namely Green-point. A detail of several policemen were on hand to keep the large crowd in order at the evening show. Lost children were rounded up by police and park attendants, and brought to the theater stage.

Announcements were made through the amplifiers, which resulted in a quick reclaiming of lost Juniors and Bettys. Maj. Sigurd J. Arnesen, chairman of the Bay Ridge division of the committee in charge of the productions, made a formal address at the afternoon show, in which he explained the project, and turned the theater over to Owls Head Park in the name of Mayor LaGuardia. Original plans of the committee in charge did not include an appearance in Bay Ridge.

The nearest park scheduled was Prospect Park which, Major Arnesen pointed would not be likely to appeal to residents of this section. The members of the Bay Ridge committee who are serving with Major Arnesen are C. J. Frugone, H. G.
