When McCann surrendered, he described himself as 4fl years old. unemployed, and a resident of 600 E. 55th which is on Welfare! Island. Before McCann was arraiened, Murray made a statement about the indictment to reporters. He said: "Leading penologists of the country have said and will testify that Warden McCann's conduct of the most treacherous prison in the world, without adequate help from his superiors, was under the circumstances without fault.

"His critics who have inspired this indictment have had recourse to the same methods in conducting the pentitentiary. The indictment is a sorry reward for nearly 30 years of conscientious service."

Farley stepped i into polities in the turbulent district of Yorkville in 11)15 from the rajiks of hard-boiled union walking delegates, and that year, at the age of 27, was elected to the office of alderman.

In some cases of leukemia, transfusions and X-ray treatments help. But according to Dr.

The doctors say the overproduction of white corpuscles is continuing. The children's plight has aroused sympathy throughout the country.

A newspaper chain engaged Dr. George B. Dorfif, a New York specialist, to fly to Wilkes-Barre to give aid but Dr. H. Alex Smith of the General Hospital at Wilkes-Barre said the New Yorker was not given permission to examine the patient, the Associated Press reports.

Pi? Patronage Picas Brooklyn Democratic triumvirate will get down to the fine points of job dispensing today at a private session in wnicn tne patronage pleas of 23 district organizations will be stacked up against the list of available jobs submitted to the "big three" by Internal Revenue Collector Almon G. Rasquin. It was reported yesterday that the Kings County leaders will have to divide less than 75 iohs witli nomn. crats from Richmond, Queens, Nas sau and Suffolk. As distribution will be on the basis of Assembly dis tricts, Brooklyn stands to get the biggest chunk however.

The U. S. Attorney's staff, which has been pared down to 14 men under Howard Amnli, will not be manned with Democrats until Ameli's successor Is named. Dealers 'Strike' Halts Fish Sales Brooklyn retail fish dealers were quoting no prices for fresh-water fish today because of the "strike" started by the retailers in an effort to force a reduction in wholesale prices. Dealers on Fulton and in other sections of Brooklyn who handle fresh-water fish said they would be unable to resume sales until the present controversy reached a satisfactory conclusion.

Because of the retailers' stand, a glut of the market was threatened today. Wholesalers promised to move the fish promptly, but did not indicate how they planned to do so.

'God liless Roosevelt' For the news that a Government loan has been extended to her on Melodie Cottage near Waterbury. she was volubly grateful. "God bless Roosevelt," she said over and over. But as for the way the news spread she was outraged. "So what!" she sputtered, strid ing into the Hotel Belvedere after a walk in the bright morning sunshine.

"Must an artist have no privacy? A million people have financial troubles with their homes and it's taken care of without anv commotion by Mr. Roosevelt. But Fritzi Scheff has some trouble, and what happens?" "Well, what?" a reporter asked a little meekly. Fritzi threw a double fox scarf around her neck with a vicious sweep. 'The Poor Old "So! They say.

'Well, thank God, the doddering old lady will now have some place to And they say, 'The poor old lady; she used to be on Broadway 100 years And they writ a lot of bosh about how Fritzi retired when Lafayette was in America. By gosh, I think they're getting a little too silly." It developed between eruptions that Fritzi's Melodie Cottage is not the modest, rose-covered bungalow which its name implies, nor has she ever retired to it. It is a four-acre estate on which there arc no less than four houses, including one for the servants, one for the guests and two for Fritzi. "And I never go there until the end of May and I only stay there during the hot weather, and certainly have not retired." she said. Tlaying in Stock And it developed also that, so far from having left the stage, the irrepressible Fritzi has been playing in stock in Bridgeport, having an occasional fling at the radio, and now and again doing a part in a Broadway-bound production.

"What if they haven't arrived on Broadway?" she challenged. "What if Fritzi Scheff does have some bad luck now and then? So does everybody else. I can take it. "And," she added, with a sudden, wholly irrelevant mellowness, "give them all my love in Brooklyn. I've a lot of friends over there." Stock Mtdiet Bill Passes First Test Washington, April 3 (P) Stock market control legislation emerged successfully today from its first test in the Senate Banking Committee.

A motion by Senator Gore Okla.) to eliminate the bill's first section, which outlines its purpose and is considered to be a defense against attacks on its constitutionality, was rejected without a record vote after a warm discussion in executive session. Meanwhile, the House Interstate Commerce Committee voted for "a stRtutory formula for margins," and referred the matter to a subcommittee. Chairman Rayburn of the House group told reporters this action definitely killed in the committee the suggestion of Richard Whitney, head of the New York Stock Exchange, that marginal requirements be left up to the Federal Reserve Board. -r MySteriOUS IYC laUSeS (jrlieSt Death Harry Goberman, 22, of 463 Wat- i klns s. diM IIni)v I lu- I day from severe burns received yes- terday in a fire which damaged a I one-story frame structure at 235 Riverdalc Ave.

Washington, April 3 Postmaster General Farley suld today that the triumvirate heading the Democratic party in Brooklyn hs made no recommendations for the office of United States attorney there, and. that he has received no list of ell-Ribles from Attorney General Cum-mings. Indications are that the vacancy will not be filled "until after President Roosevelt returns from his cruise. The Postmaster General announced that he intends to submit his resignation as Democratic chairman of New York State to the State convention next October. Although the resignation has been expected, Farley's statement was the tirst formal announcement that has been made.

Vincent Dailey of Rochester is indicated as Farley's choice for his succecssor. Seek Votes to Oust Curry Following a display of strength which lucked only one vote of a majority of the Tammany executive committee, foes of John F. Curry today had a six-man committee in the field rounding up additional strength preparatory to moving for Curry's ouster as New York County's Democratic leader. Seventeen district leaders opposed to Curry's continuance in the county chair met in closed session late yesterday and marshaled 11 and two-thirds votes out of a possible 25 votes apportioned among Tammany's 35 district leaders, chairman and treasurer. The meeting was at the Hotel Astor.

The decisive meeting of the executive committee will not be called, it was learned, until a plan is devised for replacing Curry.

McCooey's death, has gained strength. Three Are Mentioned Three names have been pushed into the spotlight as possible members of the Tammany-ruling triumvirate.

Brown explained that the youth, who was riding ahead of his machine, turned suddenly around. He said he swung as far out of the boy's path as possible, but was unable to avoid striking him. The boy, John Petanovitch, 11, of Newlngton, was taken to New Britain Hospital with a fractured left leg and possible internal injuries.

A $100 bail bond on which Brown was held was furnished by a local physician. The Brooklyn man was allowed to continue on his auto journey. Revolution Plot Bared in France Paris, April 3 tP) Definite assertions that an armed revolnt inn in France is being prepared by both ttigntisM ana Leftists were made today. Desire Ferry, editor nf the news paper La Llbertc, owned by former Premier Andre Tardlcu, says the recent police hunt for hidden arms was too late. Thousands of rifles estimate the number to be 14,000 are reported to have been smuggled into France before Marshal Pctain, Minister of War, Induced the Cabinet to order a close watch, of the frontier.

Held Insane Before signing the order Taylor held a hearing at which Dr. Charles Stoerzer. physician of Raymond Street, and Dr. Carter N. Colbert of Kings County Hospital testified that Beckling, in their opinion, was insane.

"This man has every evidence of being a dangerous character with homicidal tendencies," Tavlor declared. The judge had written to Dr. Raymond F. C. Kieb, head of Mattewan, requesting that he take back the defendant and the doctor had refused.

'If this new philosophy is to pre vail," said Wadsworth, "then, indeed, our children will exist as subjects in a land where their fore fathers lived as masters. "You and I would not be disturbed about this thing if we were absolutely certain that it was temporary. But that is not the case. It is proposed that this philosophy of governmental control and legislation shall become a part of the permanent policy of the United States. The president himself has said we will not go back."

S. Senator William M. Calder, MaJ. Walter E. Corwin, chairman of the executive committee, and many others in the first rank of the county organization.

His only rival. Elections Commissioner Jacob A. Livingston, was viewed today by observers as frozen out by Crews' speedy canvass of the district chiefs. i Voices Regret Crews, in a statement today, voiced his regret at the loss of Kracke's leadership and pledged his "full time and attention" to the job for which, he said, a substantial majority of the 46 leaders have indorsed him. Predicting success in the approaching tests of the Republican party's strength in the gubernatorial election, Crews pointed out that he has no public office or business en tanglements" which might interfere with or prejudice his service as county chieftain.

Asked to comment on his Commissioner's absolute retirement from politics, the Mayor said simply: "I knew it." There is a strong belief in many quarters that the Mayor will be forced to make a public statement of his neutrality. Regarded as the chief opponent of John R. Crews, Kracke's man for county leader, is Elections Commissioner Jacob A. Livingston, the former G. O.

P. boss of Brooklvn. Livingston has long been identified with the anti-Kracke wing of the party, a group whose most conspicuous member is Corporation Counsel Paul Windels. Any determined effort on Livingston's part to recapture the crown, it is believed, would force LaGuardia or Windels, or both, to recall their pledge to keep out of politics.

Farley pleaded that this was an old Tammany custom, and, in March, 1932, won a directed acquittal. Farley's last stand came in the primaries last September when Michael T.
