attended the recent hearing at Albany at the special session of the Legislature, where the matter of the appropriations was discussed. Helfgott and the association have declared that under the Porter law the State should increase educational appropriations to a total of $13,346,455.

SAIL Mussolini's mobilization of Italian troops and his apparent readiness to wage battle with Germany should Hitler succeed in establishing a Nazi Austria, provoked unfavorable comment here yesterday. The sons and daughters of Sunny Italy who live in South Brooklyn feel that Mussolini should not attempt any warlike tactics unless Italian soil is crossed by an alien army.

Salvatore Cantello of 198 31st St. was of the firm contention that Italy should not engage in any war ynless so drastic an action cannot possibly be averted. "My opinion in the matter," Cantello says, "is that so long as any fighting Is done outside of Italian land, Mussolini should not even think of joining in the bloodshed and war." Angelo Messano of 338 48th St. was of the same mind, adding that "should Italy enter into any war with any country specifically Germany, of course Asbocialed Press Photo. favored Italy's engaging in war should any attempt be made to break down Autria's independence because "treaties are things which should not be broken so very easily, and since Mussolini had made an agreement with Dolfuss to protect Austria's independence if war is necessary then I believe what Mussolini is doing is right." The South Brooklyn Italian women were unanimously in favor of the peace dove.

There was no adverse comment where Mussolini personally was concernedbut they all expressed themselves as preferring peace. Miss Theresa Prisciantalli of 940 4th Ave. expressed herself: "I see no reason for any Var of any kind. We're having sufficient trouble all over the world as it is, and certainly a war would not help." Mrs. Rinaldo Compello of 345 3d Ave.

said that she had always believed that Mussolini was doing what was best for Italy and the Italian people, and "I am sure he will not do anything to hurt his native land. I am not saying that I will lose my wspect for the Premier if he leads Italy into war, but I hope that he will not do that." Randolph Primavera of 950 4th Ave. deplored any action which might lead to any internal warfare on the Continent. "I don't have to say that war is a terrible thing," Primavera stated, "everybody knows that. And war today, even though it might bring back boom times, is not worth all the men that are killed or physically and mentally disabled." As far as the South Brooklyn Italians are concerned, the sentiment at large seems to call for "All quiet on the Italian Front." McGee is leader, and the New Out The 15th annual outing and boat ride of the 16th A.

A feature of the games was a "boccie" contest between a team look Club, of which Michael P. Cur-nin is leader, had failed to bring any result.

Jackson for the post of co-leader then it will lead to an inter-European war. And that might even bring on another World War. It isn't so long since we got through with one World War and I still think that was enough." Still following along the same line of reason, but adding a touch of humor, was Michael Durante of 145 30th St. Durante favors peace, and peace for Italy. "But," he added with a twinkle In his eye, "if any foreign nation comes Into Italy to steal that swell wine they had better look out!" Joseph Leonardo of 341 36th St.

was one of the few believers in Italian intervention. Leonardo gave his reason as "a protection of the European balance of power;" while William Durante of 139 29th St. composed of Members of the club and boys from Neptune Ave. and W. 3d St.
