S. Washington, March 8 (P) Talk about a Britaish spy was heard before a House Naval Affairs Subcommittee today. Representative McFVrlane Tex.) objected to approving a report on having plane contracts prepared by Chairman Delaney N.Y.) until "all the evidence is in." He asked to insert a statement by C. H.

J. MacKeanzie-Kennedy, holding that America's air forces are below those of other nations. Delaney, however, objected, saying that MaKeanzie-Ken-ncdy "Is over here at the instance of the British Government to find out what we can, and our Government will not be a damn fool enough to tell him." ft I Mi Washington, March 8 (JP) Gen. Hugh S. Johnson took a new step today in his drive for reemployment.

The NRA chief summoned two industrial committees to help him work out a program for making more Jobs. This he did after closing the first code authority assembly with a sharp announcement that enforcement of Blue Eagle rules will be tightened up. "I have been too gentle 'You ain't seen nothing he asserted last night. To draft his new plan, Johnson asked the code authorities of ths heavy goods industries and of ths consumer goods groups to select 12 men. This was done.

'Play the Game' The Blue Eagle chieftain closed the industrial gathering last night with a speech which coupled an energetic appeal to "play the game" with a declaration that in many industries "there Is no excuse" for ducking his 10 percent hour-shortening plan. Then he paired a disclaimer of dictatorial intentions toward industry with three earnest warnings: "Under specific orders from th President, we are reorganizing to enforce the penal sections of the act." he said, first. The other warnings were in substance as follows: That the country face this Spring "the worst epidemic of strikes ln our that company unions in 99 out of 100 cases involve illegal "interposition" by employers. That with the recent Supreme Court decision upholding the New York State Emergency Milk Law, the administration has dropped all hesitation, and is ready to use the powers of the industrial law to the limit, if opposition forces it. The keynote of Johnson's address was a conciliatory exhortation for industry to rise to the opportunity given it by President Julius Lehrenkrauss (left) handcuffed to a fellow-prisoner and on his way to Sing Sing.

This scene, which might seem to be out of ancient Greece, is from architectural plans lor the projected Brooklyn zoo in Prospect Park, off Flatbush opposite the Lefferts Mansion. Construction will be completed by early Summer. To Build New Home for Zoo By MURRAY SNYDER The Brooklyn Democraatlc triumvirate will go into a harmony caucus late today with representatives of the 18 district organizations of the Recovery party in their initial effort to bring the former McKee campaigners back tinder the regular party roof. At the same time it was learned that the Wogan-Sinnott-Kelly combination will give serious attention today to the sifting of applications for the two juicy Federal plums-United Slates Attorney and United States Marshal and a number, not so juicy, awaiting Democrats of Brooklyn and Queens as a reward for their new alliance with the Roosevelt wing of the party.

Cuff a Candidate Department of Justice examiners have Deen delving into the records of a number of Brooklyn aspirants for the Federal Attorneyship and most prominent among the latest additions to the list of possibilities is James I. Cuff, who was the Recovery candidate for Controller last Fall. Although Cuff has not signified that he would be willing to accept the $7,500 post, his connections place him in a strategic position if it is decided the appointment will go to Brooklyn. Cuff, observers say, may receive the Indorsement of the Democratic "big three" as one of the concessions in the deal for Washington's recognition of the old guard. Check Made on Candidates State Senator Philip M.

Kleinfeld is another whose name has been injected into the Federal Attorney contest. The Department of Justice has been checking on him as well as Harold Kennedy, former law associate of Supreme Court Justice Meier Steinbrink, and David Cahill, who was a special Assistant U. S. Attorney General. Power May Get Job In the conference today between Recovery parly men and the triumvirate it is expected that assurance will be given James M.

Power, the Recovery wing's county chairman, that he will get one of the second rank jobs expected to be handed out here. Power, who was U. S. Marshal during the war, may get the first deputy's post. Friends of Peter J.

McGuinness, boss of Greenpoint. have made him a candidate for Marshal's Job, it was learned today. In addition to Power, the Recovery delegation will include Joshua H. Friedman, 14th A. Maurice E.

Biederman, 18th A. and Thomas F. Flynn. 10th A. D.

Power's activities center around the junction of the 23d. 2d and 22d A. Ds. Angler Fish Uses Own Head as Bait Chicago, March 8 Don't shed any more tears for the poor fish that get caught on the fisherman's hook. The fishes themselves have been doin much the same thing since the earth was young even before men existed.

So said Alfred C. Weed, assistant curator at the Field Museum of Natural History, as he explained the habits of newly acquired, strange fish that catch other fish with bait. He said they were found In all seas. "Strangest of all," he said, "these fishes have on the head an organ consisting of a slender rod with a fleshy part at its tip used as a bait. "The angler fish waves its bait like a flag.

When some small fish or crab comes to inspect it an immense mouth opens and swallows the victim." Lehrenkrauss Goes to Prison Continued from Page 1 of his left hand, kissed it and replaced it. His face flushed and he seemed on the verge of tears. Presently, the fingerprinting and photographing completed, Lehrenkrauss and Carlson were handcuffed again and they were led outside and into the waiting police wagon. The patrolman-driver of the car. who declined to give his name, leaped to his seat with smiling alacrity, remarking as he did so, "He did me out of some money." From Brooklyn the police wagon went to Grand Central Station where the mutually handcuffed prisoners were taken aboard the 1:30 train bound for assuring.

Mayor Won't Fill Walsh's Place on Magistrates' Bencl Mayor LaGuardia disclosed today that he will not fill the Magistrates' bench vacancy caused by the death last week of Magistrate John J. Walsh. "I'm not going to fill it." he replied to an inquiry. "It's not needed. That was shown by one of my inspection trips in Brooklyn that was criticized by the treasury looters." The administration's bill to merge the magistrates' court with Special Sessions, introduced in the Legislature yesterday, would reduce by 20 the normal force of 66 judges Continued from Page 1 way will be six brick buildings surrounding a seal pool.

Walks will radiate from the pool in a fan formation. In the six buildings will be housed the lions, horned animals, monkeys and birds. The hippopotamus will have a large domed structure for his domicile. Two huge decorative cages will be constructed for a hawk and an eagle. Bear Dens to Be Feature Visitors to the new zoological garden will receive their greatest treat from the novel arrangement of the bear dens, which will be set in the slope rising from the plant proper to Flatbush Ave.

Huge boulders, simulating the animals' natual habitat, will stud the hillside. At a glance, nothing seems to stand between the spectator and the bears as a barrier to the animals' escape. Closer observation, however, discloses a water-filled moat 18-feet deep whose perpendicular sides serve as effectively as a fence and don't spoil the view. This method of display has been adopted by the zoos in St. Louis, Chicago and Washington and is known as the Hagenback method.

A restaurant will be provided In the zoo building group and walks will make it accessible from all parts of the park. Lawns and huge shade trees will complete the landscape scheme.

After the ceremony the couple made a smooth getaway out of the main door of the building.

The Prince laughed and waved his hand as he helped the bride into limousine, closing the door against a small shower of rice, with which two or three persons had come prepared. In signing the marriage register Sigvard used his title of prince for the last time. Witnesses said both the prince and his bride were nervous during the ceremony and that Erika's nervousness was heightened by the fact that she does not speak Eng-glish and had to learn her lines by heart. Met on Movie Lot It was noted that, their lines did not contain the expression "holy matrimony." The romance flowered on the motion picture lots and in the home of Fraulein Erika's parents in the stylish Wilmersdorf district of Berlin. Within a few months after the prince established himself as "Herr Holger" of Ufa in Germany friends began linking his name with that of the fair commoner.

It was not until Feb. 20 that official cognizance was taken. Then came an auuouncement at Stockholm that the prince's family was aware that he and his fiancee had gone to London to be married. The wording of the' statement-issued through the official Swedish news agency was interpreted generally as virtually disowning Sigvard. Next day the prince turned a deaf ear also to the pleas of Count Folke Bernadotte after the latter had dashed by plane from Stockholm to London as the envoy of King Gustar Adolf In a desperate attempt to break the match.

Around the movie studios the prince is regarded as a competent, modest and democratic chap and is well liked. His last job with Ufa was on the film "Walzerkrieg." The prince was born at the royal palace of Drottingholm, near sttkholm, on June 7, 1907.

Eagle Bureau, Colorado Building. Washington, March 8 The Navy Department and the airplane manufacturers with whom it deals, are given a clean bill of health in the report of a House investigating committee, headed by Representative John J. Delaney of Brooklyn, which was filed today.

The committee spent several weeks questioning Navy officials, airplane manufacturers, engine manufacturers and experts in an attempt to find out if the Navy Department had been cheated or defrauded in its purchases of planes and engines. It found, Delaney's report said, that the "overall profit on cost of manufacture of aircraft and engines for the Navy, covering the period from 1926 to 1933, has been 11.5 percent prior to deducting State and Federal income taxes." Profits Moderate "The committee came to the conclusion that the profits have been moderate and reasonable," the report stated. Manufacture of engines for the Navy, the committee found, was in the hands of two principal contractorsPratt Whitney and Curtiss. The average profit of these two companies in the period from 1926 to 1930, it found, was 23 percent. "The profits of one of these engine manufacturers, the Pratt Whitney Aircraft Company, were excessive during the period 1926 to 1930.

but have subsequently been brought down to reasonable figures," the report continued. "Even when peak profits were being made, the prices paid by the Navy per unit were in line with the national and international prices for comparable engines." No Cullusion Found The committee found no evidence, It reported, of collusion between contractors or between contractors and naval officials. One of the reasons for the small profits ort planes, the report suggested, ig the existence of the naval aircraft factory at Philadelphia. It recommended that the factory be called upon to supply more planes. Also recommended by the committee was more intensive use of competitive bidding on both planes and engines.

Many contracts at present are let on a "negotiated" basis In which the Government agrees on a figure with one manufacturer. This form of procurement usually follows the development by the manufacturer of a special plane design. Frequently the cost of the design is defrayed by an "experimental" contract from the Navy.

I am working continuously for the passage of the measure and am seeing members of the Legislature every day." The three Assemblymen who represent the three county leaders are: Jacob H. Livingston, representing Postmaster Francis J. Sin-nott; George Dennen, from Public Administrator Frank V. Kelly's district, and Daniel MacNamara, who conies from the district run by Deputy Register Thomas F. Wogan.

Three Supporters There are 20 two Republicans and one Independent, from Brooklyn, the latter being Rudolph Bauer, publisher of a newspaper in Coney Island. The three anti-Democrats have consistently supported the LaGuardia bill. This leaves, in the opinion of the Governor, a fertile field for any efforts the triumvirate might anticipate in the direction of giving a hand to the Governor to whom they have sworn their allegiance. Lehman is said to regard the Brooklyn triumvirate as a new deal in the party government. He hopes, it is said, to persuade the three leaders that if they are 100 percent for hin.

the least they can do is to produce the three votes to pass the bill in the Assembly. Seen Wisest Move Proponents of the bill are getting tired of the failure of the Brook lyn delegation in the Assembly to break wide open. The argument is made that If the new deal organization machinery of Brooklyn is still anxious to re-elect the Governor, the wisest thing it can do at this moment is to give him the bill.
