Although Municipal Court Justice Nathan Sweedler urged the appeal from his denial of a motion to set aside an award, it came before the high court without a formal order by Justice Sweedler giving leave.

Therefore, it was said, the Appellate Term had no Jurisdiction. The award was one of $400 by the Rev. Maxwell L. Sacks as arbitrator in favor of Max J. Gold against the Conuregation Beth Hamidrash of Coney Island.

Murray M. Geller. counsel for the appealing congregation, asked Samuel Oberlander, rounsel for Gold, to consent, but Justice Cropsey ruled that Jurisdiction could not be conferred on his court by such method and ruled the order on Justice Sweedler's decision was not appealable as a matter of right. The time to appeal from the judgment itself had expired. It was also too late to get a permission order.

A review was asked on the theory that the Rev. Dr. Sacks was "prejudiced" against the defendant and "uttered prejudicial remarks." The Judgment arose out of Gold's efforts to recover $350 which he had paid the congregation for the burial of the wife of a brother-in-law. Gold claimed he was forced to pay the money on a threat the woman would not be buried. Justice Sweedler appointed Rabbi Sncks.

GOLDBERG A ANOTHER paradise is being lost to mankind. Australia, white mans social superstate, Anglo-Saxon glory, working-man- isle of bliss, is slipping ir.io the sea of depression.

Five and a half million Britons h.t,. hn hnlritnr this little conti- th- ilu nf the Jnited Si all to themselves, free from the trasn and the throes of tne resi 01 are in the air. J. T. Lang, rebellious Labor premier of New South Wales, Is repudiating his debts; the Federal Government re ruses 10 ininu tn Anclo-Saxon solv ency, and there is much arguing and more brewing.

Tne rrouoie back to the bursting of the prosperity bubble. Wages Fixed by Board in Australia wazes have always k.n fccH on the rost of living. No matter what a man did it was the State's duty to see that he earnefl enough to keep himself and his family in decent circumstances, and a wage board regulated wages In accordance with price fluctuations. It the employer could not pay the minimum wage and make his own profit, he had best close shop. No exploitation of human life or labor would be tolerated.

Australia's socialistic institutions have likewise been a heavy drain on the national treasury. First, there is an elaborate pension svstem. Mothers are given a bonus of about $25 for every baby born, because "the baby is the best Immigrant." Superannuated workers are provided with old age pensions. Invalids are cared for by the State. Then there are the public utilities, always an expensive proposition, and the retail businesses conducted by the various local governments.

Won't Scale Down Living Naturally all these exacted large expenditures, but Australia was prosperous, her wheat and wool were the finest on the market, credit was easy and she made use of it. Before long the public debt had risen i $5,500,000,000, and $150,000,000 had to be sent from the country annually to pay the Interest. Then came the crash. The bottom dropped out of the market, exports sank by more than $250,000,000, but the interest inconsiderately piled up Sir Otto Niemeyer came down from the Bank of England, suggested cutting expenses. Labor Leader Lang dissented and created an international sensation by defaulting interest on his bonds.

The Federal Government made the payment last year, but now it merely guarantees collection, and Lang stubbornly holds out against it. "We'll secede before we scale down the laborer's living." he storms. And now Tasmania is following his example. 9 SOVIET WAR-NAVY CHIEF STRIKES PEACEFUL NOTE RUSSIA'S Commissar for War and Navy struck a peaceful keynote last Sunday, when he addressed his troops. "We are ready to sign any agreement able to secure peace," he said 'The Red army will never threaten anybody We have proposed complete disarmament because we desire to do everything possible to prevent bloodshed.

Although he heads the Soviet military forces. Voroshiloft can hardly be called a military man. The greatest part of his life has been spent in revolutionary propaganda and organization. Voroshiloft was born 50 years ago to poor, hardworking miners, and at seven he himself was in the mines of the Don Basin. Party" Worker at 18 At 18 he was already in the "Party," organizing secret units and coming into conflict with the Czar police.

In the revolutions of 1905 and 1917 his "work" was with the army. He was a member of the petrograd Soviet that led the Bolshevist revolution and the attacks against Poland In the West and Wrannel in the East. Since 1925 he has been the Com-nitur VoroshiloS has Introduced the most modern equipment in his army, airplanes, motorbuses, transports, chemical warfare. He is now Intent upon instilling in the youth of Russia the military spirit. ONLY SMALL DOUKHOBORS GROUP BECOMES UNRULY rpHE New York police occasionally 1 use tear bombs to capture suspects.

The Canadian police resort to itch powder to end demonstrations. At least that is what they used last Sunday to stop a parade of 200 naked Doukhobors. The Doukhobors hail from Russia. They are Communists but not Godless ones. Tolstoy and the Quakers helped to bring them to America in 1899.

The Canadian Government gave them a grant if 450.000 acres in Saskatchewan and exemption from military service. These "Sons of God," as they call themselves, are strict vegetarians and teetotalers, but they do indulge In marriage. Partners are tak-n without ceremony; separation is equally easy if the union proves unhappy. But another union must De made immediately, because marriage is compulsory. As a whole the Doukhobors are a quiet, law-abiding, hardworking set of people.

It is only one small group, the "Sons of Freedom," who occasionally become unruly and necessitate the use of itch powder. DEPRESSION IN TURKEY MAKES ELOPING POPULAR rpURKEY used to be the land of 1 elaborate weddings. Nowadays elopements are in vogue. The old folks can't aflccd tne lavish hospi- Solution of the crime problem by attacking it at its source and educating youth through a knowledge of God into channels of proper conduct was the keynote of the opening dinner last night of the three-day convention of the Religious Education Association at Columbia University. Among the speakers were George W.

Wlckersham, President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia and Dean William F. Russell of Teachers College, Columbia. The theme for the convention is the reports of the Wlckersham Committee on the causes of crime and the lawlessness in the administration of law. The reports were selected on the suggestion that the real data of the committee would be "lost to the country unless some organization gave extended study to it and reveal its real nature as the greatest body of data ever assembled on the causes and cure of crime," accord ing to Dr. John H.

Finley, who presided last night. Cited Crime Causes Wlckersham laid the present crime troubles at the foot of a number of our penal institutions and lack of recreational facilities for growing boys. "So long as we tolerate In our large cities slum areas of the kinds described In the commission's report and allow children to grow up In them, with no healthy outlet for their natural spirits no playgrounds, no boys' clubs open to all so long as our jails remain what they are. places where young and old, the criminal and the innocent, are herded together under condition that violate every principle of decency; so long as In reformatories the boy or girl is brought in contact with the seasoned offender and given every opportunity to learn the lure of adventurous crime; so long at release of children on probation is a pretense and furnishes no intelligent sympathetic guidance to a useful career Just so long will the ranks of the criminals be steadily swelled by children." Would Aid First Offender A second 'recommendation made by the speaker was that the first offender should be helped "with, sympathy and aid which may enable him to redeem himself and to go straight." Capital punishment was decried by President Butler as having no preventive effect. "If you attempt to deal withcrim by passing laws against it or by punishment you will go on building prisons to the end of time," he asserted.

"We have been living, with respect to this problem, in a world of illusion. That is why no headway has been made in Its solution. "The fault must be removed at ita source through education and education of a kind which will prevent the assailing of society and moral ideals of the race." Former Supreme Court Justice Joseph M. Proskauer stressed the fact that education to prevent crime must be of a religious nature. "To abolish crime," he declared, "we must train youth to be honest, virile and upright, not merely attempt to train them to be non-criminals." The Rev.

Fulton J. Sheen of th Catholic University also spoke along similar lines. Fliers' Survival Of Mid-Air Crash Wins Applause Attaches at Floyd Bennett Field today are still talking of the mirac ulous escape of two Naval Reserve fliers who collided In midair yesterday, pulled apart and a few minutes later landed safely. The pilots were Ensign Robert Young and Lieut. Eugene Detmer, The only casualty was Carl Rein-del, an enlisted man In Young's plane acting as observer.

He sustained a fractured shoulder and head cut. He was taken to Brooklyn Navy Yard Hospital. The accident occurred during the annual inspection of the Naval and Marine Reserve fiying units. Both pilots were part of units making a formation bombing dive. Six planes took off and formed two formations of three each.

The first flight of the Vs had completed the dive when the second started down going at a terrific rate of speed. Lieut. Detmer was leading the formation and Ensign Young brought up in the rear. Between them was Ensign Browning! Browning, It is believed, lost sight of Detmer and slipped out of the formation. Young, missing Browning, finished his dive without the other plane, by which he had gauged his ped, swung up into a rinht-hand turn and bumped into Det-mer's plane Just above him.

Flier Stunned The upper wing of Young's plane scraped the bottom of the fuselage" of Detmer's plane and the tail of the upper ship struck Young and then his observer, Carl Reindel. Detmer swung his ship up and to the right while Young maintained his level. Then although stunned by the blow from Detmer's plane he started to climb for altitude. Finding that all the control worked properly he brought the Ship down safely. Naval omcers from Washington and from the Third Naval District headquarters witnessed the incident and congratulated both pi lots for their skill In avoiding serious accident.

The illustration is a rare old1 print, taken from a publication called Gibson's Pictorial Drawing Room Companion, and was published in 1851. Every house that had any pretensions In the '50s had a drawing room, the principal ornament of which was a huge marble-topped table on which rested books and magazines that were read under the evening lamp by the iamily or glanced at by visitors who might be waiting in the drawing room. "As the 'Pictorial Drawing Room Companion' had a large circulation in Brooklyn, the editor evidently thought it would be a good idea to send a staff artist across Fulton Ferry, accompanied by a reporter, to give the new seat of Brooklyn's city government a proper send-off. The reporter's impression of the new building runs as follows: "Our artist has given us a fine view of the City Hall in Brooklyn, which was commenced in Fcb-rurary, 1R4B. and finished in 1B49.

It is located'in the most central part of the city, at the junction of Joral-emon, court and Fulton and viewed from whatever direction' it may be approached, presents a grand and beautiful appearance. "The building is three stories In height, and is throughout of the Grecian-Ionic order of architecture. The regularity and general effect of which, however, is somewhat marred, we are constrained to say, by the windows of the upper floor being considerably less than those of the others. It is 182 feet front, 105 feet deep and 57 feet high. "A cupola, raised over the front center, is surmounted by a beautiful figure of the Godess of Justice, to the top of which, from the ground, is 133 feet; the whole, including the entire outer walls being formed ot pure and beautifully white marble from the Winchester quarry.

"From the portico in front, which is supported by six handsome Ionic columns, a flight of steps (also of marble) descends to the City Hall Park, which spreads Its green plots on each side of the building on the front in a triangular form to the Junction of Court. Fulton and Washington Montague Place and Myrtle Ave. "This park, inclosed by an Iron fence, in addition to the relief afforded by its verdure by preserving a vacant space about the edifice assures to the spectator a compre hensive view of It in all its beauty, uninterrupted by the interposition of bricks and mortar, encroach ments of which are springing up on all sides with magic rapidity. "The hall is entirely fireproof, the partitions being of brick, with iron beams supporting the floors, witn brirk arches sDrunsr between them. Xnese arches are laid over with narrow Georgia pine planks, making it solid and enduring "The cost of the erection was about $150,000, and the ground cost about $50,000."

Walker's eonomy program is being drawn up by his assistant, Charles F. Kerrigan, and will be made public in a few months, the Mayor revealed yesterday. As he Indicated at the taxpayers' hearing on municipal economy several weeks ago, the Mayor said he hopes to save $4,000,000 or more from this year's budget. And as has been known for some time he has been studying the possibilities of determining new sources of revenue.

He is planning legislation to enable him to effect some of the economies under consideration. The economy program will form the Mayor's answer to Controller Charles W. Berry's recent challenge that if the Mayor didn't produce a plan he would. One source of new revenue which the Mayor is likely to advocate Is charging a fee for filing of plans in the various borough Bureaus of Buildings. This is the suggeston of Samuel Fassler, Bulding Superintendent of Manhattan.

The Mayor is also considering tolls on bridges, increased ferry fares, possible tuition fees in city colleges, increased water rates. The water rates have not been changed for 75 years, but the Mayor is inclined to view the situation with caution. Consolidation of city bureaus is being taken up, and the Mayor is expected to greet the next session of the Legislature with a merger bill or two. The Mayor indicated that he will not announce anv con solidations of departments at the present time, because he has no wish of being thought stricken with "deathbed repentance" in the face of Samuel Seabury's report on the courts. The Board of Estimate Committee of the Whole yesterday voted to favor an increase from $124,000 to $239,000, at Friday's meeting, in the budget of the Department of Plant and Structures for engineers and draftsmen working on plans for the Triborough Bridge.

The move means that although money for construction work on the big span has been rescinded as part of the city's economy moves, the drawing of plans may proceed. $3,137,912 Tax Collections Made 2d Payment Day Comptroller Charles W. Berry revealed last night that collections for the second day in May on which payments couid be made for the 1932 tax levy In New York City totaled $3,137,912.41. The total amount collected to date for 1932 levy is $27,202,339.81. The collections up to andi including the second collecting day in May, 1931, aggregated $25,923,878.50.

Collections yesterday on account of the tax levies of 1931 and prior years were $418,248.33, compared with $336,549.69 the same day last year. The total arrears collected since Jan. 1, 1932, amounted to $38,849,719.56, as compered with $38,170,341.33 In 1931. The collections this year on account of are about $660,000 more than last year for JChe same period, for the difficulties arising from overpopulation, overproduction and unemployment. "I return," he said yesterday, "more impressed than ever with the principle of 'not more but better and finer representatives of every race."

Pay Slash For $10,000 City Workers Asked A 50 percent reduction in the salaries of city employes receiving more than $10,000 was asked in petitions demanding drastic cuts In the next city budget, signed at a mass meeting of the Democratic Captains Association in American Legion Hall, Nostrand Ave. and Avenue last night. Approximately 400 home owners attended the meeting, which was called on receipt of 1932 tax bills, said in a number of cases to be twice as high as those of the year previous. Salary reductions for members of the Board of Aldermen and a 25 percent cut for city employes making between $6,000 and $10,000 were also asked In the resolution. The investigation being conducted by Samuel Seabury was indrosed and the Democratic minority was urged to cease its obstructive efforts.

Thomas J. Duffy, president of the association, presided. Grand Central Palace Foreclosure Asked Suit to foreclose a mortage cov ering the Grand Central Palace on Lexington at 46th Manhattan, and the adjoining Park-Lexington Building at 247 Park was filed yesterday in Manhattan Supreme Court by the Empire Trust Company. There is a bond issue totaling $4,768,500 still outstanding on the $5,500,000 mortage covering the properties. A sinking fund payment of some $28,000 due Jan.

Building Walkout Forces Idleness On Non-Strikers The several hundred building trades workers electricians, elevator constructors and steel erectors who remained at work when some 30,000 in other building trades went out on strike on Monday involuntarily Joined the strike today. The contractors, finding their Jobs held up by the strike, discontinued the woric of those men who were not striking. Conferences were going on among members of the Building Trades Employers Association and among officers of the Building Trades Council looking toward an agree ment which would start building i moving again.

The Associated Builders of Kings County today took a firm stand backing the Building Trades Employers Association. The executive board, of which T. Harry Gllck is president, adopted a resolution indorsing the scale of wages offered by the Employers Association. Ports full of empty vessels, ware houses and wharves idle, railroads constructed beyond needs, workers thrown out of jobs, staple foods plied up in quantities far exceeding demands these were the impres sions brought back by Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American Museum of Natural History, from a world cruise on the steam yacht Stella Polaris.

Clerical Workers' Wages Cut by6P.C, Survey Discloses An average reduction of about 6 percent in the last year in the minimum salaries paid to various groups of clerical workers is shown by a group of companies surveyed by the Merchant Association of New York. The companies that responded to the association's questionnaire included banks, advertising agencies and Insurance companies. The report shows very wide salary ranges for various positions. Accountants, for Instance, were found starting as low as $80, while one accountant was found to be receiving a salary of $708.33 a month. Salaries of auditors ranged all the way Irom $70 to $750.

Secretaries and stenographers are working in some instances as low as $55 a month and. according to the survey, may. If the present wage level holds, hope to attain salaries ranging from $100 to $300 a month. Bookkeeping clerks were reported as low as $50 in some cases, as were file and mail clerks. Other concerns were found to be paying minimum salaries as high as $121.33 to stenographers, $108.33 to file clerks and $150 to mail clerks.

The decision was reached yesterday afternoon after a two-hour session behind closed doors at the Hotel Governor Clinton, in Manhattan. No explanation was given. The Rev. Dr. John Ferguson, secretary of the State body, issued a statement, which read: "The Lord's Day Alliance of New York State, by action of its direc- tors today, discontinued Its aux- iliary relationship to the Lord's Day Alliance of the United States and authorized its general secretal-y, Dr.

John Ferguson, to take such steps as shall be necessary whereby to change Its name to the Lord's Day League of New York." The only other statement made by Dr. Ferguson was: "We would not have taken the action if we did not think there was Just cause, but we are not saying what It is just now." nology of popular music.

This pair blew wheezy notes Irom cornets, drowning out the harps and violins. Last to arrive was the eirl with the big accordion who eclipsed all the others.

The Inevitable Kleker As soon as the little steamer had passed the Chateau VII the passengers looked each other over. A fat-tish, heavily medalled general and two colonels were rejoining their troops in Morocco. A handsome middle-aged Arab, mountainous in his bournous, was returning from a tour of other Moslem countries. He had been studying the small variations in different lands of Moslem religious music.
