While the officials agreed 1 that the people of the section were entitled to have such ordinances, they also said that they thought that before An ordinance is adopted the residents and property owners should have an opportunity of stating their case, should any further changes be requested before final action is taken. "The people of Point Lookout are certainly entitled to the relief they seek," Supervisor J. Russel Sprague said when the ordinances were presented by Chave.

"Although the police have co-operated in chasing parkers, there has never been an ordinance to support their actions. This ordinance has sufficient teeth to ward off possible trouble with illegal parkers." The proposed ordinance makes parking illegal on any of the streets of the Point Lookout development and fixes a fine of $25 for violatrs.

Has Aided Owners of Homes Congressman in Speeches Quotes Figures Refuting Democrats' Charges Mineola, Oct. 26-Recent figures released by the Federal Reconstruction Finance Corporation refute the charge that this body was formed solely in the interests of "big business," Representative Robert con declared in three addresses last evening. Speaking in Whitestone, Bellerose and Seaford, Congressman Bacon asserted that the Reconstruction Finance Corporation had, helped the "small home owners" throughout the country. In part, Congressman Bacon said: "I was interested to see that the latest figures offered by Reconstruction Finance Corporation disclose that 5,000 banks, with depositors totalling more than fifteen million, been afforded relief. They have been the direct beneficiaries of the Reconstruction Corportion through the Home Loan Bank, which was recommended by Mr.

Hoover in December, but which the last Democratic Congress held up until July 16. Had it been passed at te time that Mr. Hoover recommended, its benefits would have been felt and undoubtedly would have prevented the loss of thousands of homes throughout this country. "Further, the report shows that more than 700 building, savings and loan associations have been protected by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation's activities, thus rice life savings of more than eleven million persons who have been putting aside money looking forward to the erection of their own homes. "More than eighty insurance companies have been given relief by agency millions government's reconstruction.

Registration In Nassau to Top 176,857 Returns for County Now Exceed 1928 Figure; 3 Districts Missing Mineola, Oct.

26-With three districts missing in the town of Hempstaed, the registration figures as compiled by the board of elections show 176,857 persons qualified to vote in Nassau on Nov. 8. Because of the large increase in registration both sides are making claims. The Republican party says that its workers have got out a large registration to meet the charges of the Democrats that Hoover is responsible for the depression and the Democrats claim that the big registration is made up of the large Democratic population in Nassau who fel the incentive to vote this year. Registration Exceds 1928 claim often expressed by Democrats that if the big influx into Nassau from the city voted here as they had voted in the city Democratic success would be assured.

Nassau's registration this year is at the peak in the county's history. It surpasses the registration of four years ago when the HooverSmith campaign aroused so many who had not taken advantage of their privilegs in former years. The registration this year exceeds that of 1931 by 38.794 and that of 1928 by 37,724. It is expected that the registration when the three missing districts are in will be about 1,800 more. Based on the population of 1930 the registration exceds half the county's population, but it is not expected that the vote will come anywher near the regisration, due tothe fact that so many names are carried over from previous years in villages where the population is under 5,000.

The gain in the 1st Assembly District was 27,908 over 1931 and 22,409 over 1928. The gain in the 2d Asesmbly District was 10,886 over 1931 and 15,315 over 1028. Comparison of 1932 and 1588 The comparison in the several political subdivisions of the county be-. twen 1932 and 1928 are: 1932 1932 Hempstead x108.320 86.927 Long Beach 4,808 3,792 1st Assembly District 113.128 90.719 North Hempstead 36.044 26.011 Oyster Bay 22.896 18.263 Glen Cove 4,789 4,140 2d Assembly District 63.729 48.414 Grand total 176.857 .139.133 districts missing.

WARNS VOTERS Elvin N. Edwards Edwards Warns First Voters of Danger in Change Nassau Prosecutor Tells Garden City Group to Stand by G. O. P.

Choice Garden City, Oct. 26-Speaking to first voters at the Young Men's Republican Club in the Garden City schoolhouse, here, last night, District Attorney Elvin N. Edwards compared Roosevelt and Hoover for the Republican first voter. Explaining the good points of both men, Mr. Edwards said: "They say it is unfair for us to tell the people of this country that theh recovery now under way will be retarded to some extent by the election of a Democratic President.

I say it is not unfair to state the facts. Every one who knows anything about the situation knows that the election of a new President has always made business men hesitate to invest or carry on from Election Day until the meeting of Congress March 4. That when Congress meets it receives its message from the President and there is that delay that comes until it is fund how much of the program of the President, Congress is going to carry out. "There is at least six months to a year of uncertainty, with the result that good business men will not plunge ahead in any progressive program until they know the policy of the Government. And they also know that even if the Democratic candidate for President is conservative and has a definite program, which he has not, they are uncertain whether Congress will support his program or not for a long period of time after March Floral Park Repeal Unit Plans Card Fete Stewart Manor, Oct.

Long Island City. College Point Civics Fear Long Bus Litigation as McKee, Prial Balk at Grant Quens-Nassau Transit Concern, With the Most Favorable Offer, May Fight Franchise to Others as 'Unfair' to Its Trolley Business Drawn out litigation which would cripple College Point civic efforts to win adequate transportation facilities seemed a not too remote possibility today following a bus franchise discussion yesterday before the Board of Estimate sitting as a committee of the whole. Any Franchise Acceptable Any kind of workable franchise a good franchise, civic workers yesterday told the board. Left stranded when the Long Island Railroad abandoned the Whitestone branch line, College Point and especially that portion of it that is not served by the QueensNassau Transit Lines trolleys, has looked forward impatiently toward the award of a franchise which would set up the new so-called College Point bus route. The newly laid out bus route parallels at a distance of half a half from the trolley line of the Queens-Nasau Transit lines.

The transit line has submitted the most favorable bid for the bus route, guaranteeing percent the gross income or 5 percent of gross income 50 percent of the profits. Bids three other and. concerns are also under considera- tion. Fear Litigation Threat Although the College Point Chamber of Commerce and other civic groups have no preferences as to the recipient of the franchise they do fear that should any concern other than Queens-Nassau Transit Lines win the contract the latter company might go into the courts with the claim that the parallel bus route was hurting its trolley business for which it holds a perpetual franchise. This fear was expressed before the Board of Estimate yesterday by Dr.

W. C. Spalholz of the College Point Chamber of Commerce. "We're desperate," he told the board, "for adequate transportation service, but litigation which would drag out our wait indefinitely is just the thing we want to avoid." Then Acting Mayor McKee and Deputy Controller Prial raised objections reorganization of which they said Queens-Nassau Transit Lines is the product and waved before representatives of the company an old paving bill of 000 which had been contracted by the defunct New York and Queens Transit Company, which gave up the ghost in 1926 after being in the hands of receivers for some eight years. This bill, the deputy controller maintained, should be paid by the Transit Lines, Inc.

With his mind evidently made up to block a franchise to the QueensNasau Transit Lines, Acting Mayor McKee turned to Borough President Harvey for advice as to another bidder. Harvey Suggests North Shore Line The Borough a President thereupon recommended the North Shore Bus Company under the impression that its bid gave the city a good second choice. A representative of the Z. and M. Coach Company, however, pointed out that his concern offered the second choice and hearing was set for Nov.

18 to pass upon the merits of the Z. and M. bid and a sifting of the transit company's offer. Dock Worker Is Held as Jersey Justice Fugitive Leo Ingenito, 29 years old, a longshoreman living at 16 Union was held as a fugitive from justice in Jersey by Magistrate Benjamin Marvin 1 in the Jamaica Magistrates' Court yesterday.

Wallace Leyden of Bergen County, N. J. He is alleged to have been implicated in the robbery on June 6 last of $5,090 from the Hillsdale, N. Bank. Ingenito pleaded not guilty and Magistrate Marvin held him under $10,000 bail until Oct.

31, pending extraidtion proceedings. Malverne Sells $345,000 School Bonds at 4.98% Malverne, Oct. 25-The Board of Education will have to pay an interest rateo only 4,98 percent on a $345,000 bond issue for construction of a new high school on the Ocean Ave. site, following the acceptance of the combined bid of Lehman Brothers and the M. and T.

Copeland, Cornelius Whitney, Congress, and other cratic candidates, at the Hempstead Sports Club last night.

Hits Baum- Davis Bill Preceding Senator Copeland, Mr. Whitney, who is opposing Congressman Robert L. Bacon, attacked the Bacon-Davis bill that provides the prevailing rate of wages that should be paid on government jobs in different localities. He said that it was passed without the penalization clause which nullified its effectiveness. United States Senator Royal S.

Copeland, speaking at the Hempstead Sports Club arena and later at Oceanside, last night, claimed that the present administration cannot hide behind the plea that farm taxes are fixed by the States. He said, in part: "The Administration hide behind the plea that farm are cannot, fixed by the States. The chief trouble of the farmer is thathe cannot dispose of his crop. His income is so atrophied that he suffers for the necessities, usjt as common laborer suffers from the effects of widespread unemployment, Buying Power Obliterated "Th result of all this is that the buying power of the nation is oblitcrated. It will not be restored until money is put into circulation.

"It is not enough for the President to point to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, the Home Loan Bank and other financial projects provided by the joint votes of the two parties. These no more than relief measures and, SO far, their effect has not been felt by the general not question that they wise measures, publiere but certainly they do not solve the economic problem. "The Governor has pointed out the unwillingness of the President to admit the emergency, and that after it reached the consciousness of the administration, there has been a pathetic failure to act. can army this of be, more when than there 11 is millions a irnown employed and the prospect of an increase to 13 millions by Christmas?" Other speakers were: Paul Bonynge, candidate for Supreme Court Justice: Benjamin W. Downing, candidate for county treasurer; Thomas F.

Barry, candidate for Assembly; Louis Ferkin, candidate for justice of the peace. At Oceanside Oceanside, Oct. 26-The Republican party has "failed dismally in its efforts to aid the farmer, the unemployed, and to bring prosperity to the country" United States Senator Royal S. Copeland told an audience that packed the Madrid Restaurant on Long Beach Road last night. He was the principal speaker at a Democratic rally sponsored by the Oceanside Democratic Club, Ralph Marion in charge.

Flying Tackle Brings Down Runaway Pig Oyster Bay, Oct. 26-John Mclillo of Irving Place is willing to admit, after yesterday, that Pigs is Pigs.

His large family garbage disposal, a fat gray pig, got loose and evaded all who attempted to stop his progress down South a main thoroughfare, in the midst of Oyster Bay traffic, and by the way he slipped between the legs of wouldbe stoppers and through the hands of others it looked as if he were a greased pig. Howard Formont, driving a delivery truck that had narrowly escaped hitting the cumbersome animal, drew up to the curb, jumped off the driver's seat and tackled the pig, finally holding him to a final down until his master arrived.

Hempstead, Oct. 26-The attempt of the Here stead Planning Board to secure a revision of its ordinances requiring proposed gas station owners to secure the consents of neighboring property owners, hit another snag, yesterday, and went back "on the table," at a meeting of the Town Board. In refusing to take action, the town fathers declared that such a revision would deprive them of the right to decide whether or not a gasoline station should be established at a particular location, in that the wording of the ordinance was such as to almost require them to grant a permit, so long as percentage of the property owners in a given area of 200 feet in all direc- a motorcar ride through which more than 600 Democrats heard U. S. Senator Royal Democratic candidate for Referee Reports On Award for Old Indian Cemetery Van Sicklen Recommends Heirs to Share or Fund Care for New Grounds That the money awarded by the City of New York for the taking of part of an old Indian cemetery in Little Neck in the widening of Northern Boulevard, Queens, should either be divided among all the heirs of the original owners of the land, some 50 Indians, or be posited in a trust fund, the income to be used for permanent care of the new Indian burial plot in Douglaston, is the recommendation of former Supreme Court Justice James C.

Van Siclen, who was appointed referee to decide the matter. Referee Van Siclen made his report yesterday to Justice Charles C. Lockwood in Special Term of the Supreme Court, Queens, in Jamaica Brought Much Litigation The Indian burial ground caused more litigation, protests and agreements than all the rest of the land taken in the proceeding started several years ago. Descendants of the Indians buried in the old grounds on Northern Boulevard near Old House Landing Road, Little Neck, tried to prevent its being taken. It was finally arranged that a plot be purchased in the Lion Church yard in Douglaston and the bones of the buried Indians have been removed to that place.

Title was taken to the present property in February, 1929, and the present proceeding is an attempt finally to settle the matter. There is due for the property $15,585 plus $2,909.20 interest. From this must be taken the $2,123 for the purchase of the plot and the removal of the remains from the cemetery to the plot. Descendants Protest Award Protests were filed yesterday to the recommendations by Susan Waters, a descendant of Sylvia Hicks, also known as Silvie Hudds, original owner of the property. Susan Waters claims that the land was hers as the result of a partition action in 1879.

Another protest was filed by Fanny Waters Smith, Emma Seco, Rebecca Dodell and Mary Smith, all descendants of Mattinnecock Indians, who claim the land was theirs by an old will and the award should be divided among them. Referee Van Siclen held in his recommendation that title to a burial ground could not be secured by any person through a partition action or by bequest in a will. He recommended that if the money of the award is to be distributed, it should be divided among all the escendants of Sylvia Hicks. There are some 50 such descendants known, most of them living on the Mattinnecock Reservation on Long Island. Justice Lockwood, after receiving Referee Van Siclen's report and the protests of the others, gave the protestants two weeks in which to hand up briefs in support of their contention.

Civics Discharge Sewer Committee As Too Inactive "Queens faces another sewer warned George L. Knott, delegate of the Citizens Association of Queens Village and Bellaire at the meeting of the Central Queens Allied Civic Council in the Town Hall, Jamaica, last night. "I have studied nine out of 22 Queens contracts involved in the $1,500,000 Sutphen Boulevard prospect," said Knott, "and find that some of the work was done under former. Borough President Connolly, under former Borough President Paten and some under the present borough administration. I find that some of the figures are the same figures we met in the Connolly sewer scandal.

There is a charge of $66 a foot for small pipe that could be produced for $8 a foot. I recommend that this council take action to help the affected property owners secure a reduction in this assesment." The council thereupon voted to discharge its present inactive sewer committee and appoint a new group to make an investigation of the sewer assessment. Arthur Indell of Hollis is chairman of the new sewer committee I appointed today. give their consent. Revision Twice Tabled, The requested revision reached the Town Board from the planners about a month ago.

Since that time it has been taken from the table twice and put back with no action being taken, save for the town fathers to voice their opposition to the suggestion. Urging the board to take no action, Justice of the Peace Walter R. Jones read a report for a motor magazine in which it was stated that there were too many gasoline stations in the country. He declared that this was his impression so far as Hempstead Township is concerned, saying further that he thought it would be best for the Town Board to have full power of decision, basing action on the safety of the community and the possible harm to existing businesses. Table Plumbing Code Change The board also tabled a request of the Planning Board to revise its plumbing code to the xtent that all plumbers would be required to take examinations before receiving a license.

At present, the ordinance allows those with five years experience to secure licenses without taking an examination. Labor Committee Indorses Whitney Dry Law Stand Mineola. Oct. 26-The nonpartisan political campaign committee of the Queens-Nassau division of the Central Trades and Labor Council, in report made public today, announced that the organization would support Cornelius V. Whitney, Democratic Congressional candidate in the First District.

The indorsement, which also favors Thomas F. Barry and Thomas R. Fay. Assembly candidhtes, and Alexander Webber. candidate for State Senator, contends that Renublican candidates for re-election have been "very unfair to labor." According to the report, Mr.
