The Brooklyn League of Women Voters which Mrs. Earle had directed since 1927 granted her an official leave of absence to allow her to actively for the fusion candidate. "But the new environment, on the committee, won't be different from that of the League," she said today, "for both groups are made up of people who put good government above party Her plans involve the enrolment of a committee of 1.000 women to campaign for the fusionists.

It would be undignified at this time to talk," said Judge McLaughlin. "There may be litigation, at which time I may be called upon to testify. Suffice it to say, I would not have taken such action as I did without good reason." Presents Affidavits The former magistrate not only shouted his charges in court.

S. former, Williams, associate defense counsel, attesting to his charges of an agreement. "This is only a start of the real fireworks that are going off if they bring this new case to trial," Healy told reporters later.

The Healy charges, which raised a direct issue Geoghan's repeated statement that there had over, been "no agreements" by his office in accepting the racketeers' plea, were the basis of the defense opposition to the District Attorney's motion to draw a special panel jury for the new trial of Mellon and his aides on Oct. 9. Argues for Stay The defense lawyer held that the District Attorney's "agreement," and Judge McLaughlin's statement that the remaining indictments would be stayed in suspending execution of sentence disqualifies Geoghan from instituting the new prosecutions. Despite Healy's oratory, Judge Fitzgerald held that the "agreement," even if made, was not binding on his court, and granted the motion of a blue ribbon jury. "Section four of the Civil Practice Act," said the Court, "stipulates that any agreement by counsel must be made in writing or before open court.

"In such backstairs negotiations and sidewalk conversations, we must depend on the recollection of the parties involved." Geoghan was not on hand to reply to Healy's charges, but Kleinman declared that the District Attorney "never entered into any bargain or negotiations directly with the defense counsel or defendants" and "has nothing to apologize for." Question Legality After Assistant District Attorney Harry J. Walsh moved for the blue ribbon panel on the grounds of the "unusual publicity" the case had received, Healy arose to oppose the motion. "I question the legal right and on this motion, and I question the jurisdiction of the court to pass legal right and professional capacity of the District Attorney at this time to move these indictments, 8946-A and 8946-B to trial. "When Judge McLaughlin imposed sentence on these defendants, he specifically provided that this indictment would be stayed pending the probationary court," Fitzgerald interpssed, "could not interpose any judgment in one case that might affect another case." "The judgment in this case." Healy replied, "was by agreement and consent of the District Attorney. I will state to you what happened in the negotiations that preceded the acceptance of this plea, which statements are fully corroborated by affidavits by myself and my associate counsel.

Dismissal Promised "Mr. Kleinman had advised Mr. Mandelbaum of his communications with Judge McLaughlin on the conditions of the pleas, and Mr. Kleinman stated to him that if the defendants pleaded, he. Mr.

Kleinman would move for the dismissal of the other indictments as soon as the probationary period had been passed. "Mr. Mellon refused to plead guilty unless Mr. Kleinman, made this statement in the presence of both myself and Mr. Williams.

Mr. Kleinman came over to us. He. Mr. Kleinman, stated that he had been in communication with Judge McLaughlin and that they had discussed the punishment Judge McLaughlin subsequently imposed, and also that after the probation, he would move for dismissal of the remaining indictments.

"Having had Attorney's experience, "Healy continued, "I asked Mr. Kleinman: 'Have you consulted Mr. Geoghan about this "'Mr. Geoghan has just been in conference with. Judge McLaughlin for an Kleinman answered.

He added, 'I had a hell of a time getting the District Attorney to agree to this Calls It 'Contemptuous' "There have been plenty of pleas of guilty taken by the District Attorney."

American Ambassador at Large Norman H. Davis planned to confer today with Foreign Minister Konstantin von Neurath of Germany regarding disarmament. "Fifteen years after the close of that fratricidal crime, the great war, we find to our shame that we have made little progress toward a better understanding a purer atmosphere, and a healthier mentality among peoples." Dr. Mowinckel said.

"On the contrary, the thought of war and the possibility of war are ever present, hanging over the nations as a constant menace Mowinckel said it was impossible for great conferences to succeed when the big powers hold divergent views. "If the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy had reached an agreement beforehand on the stabilization of the dollar and sterling and the values of currencies," he maintained. would have provided a others solid basis for the restoration of the world economic system and a revival of trade which would have made the World Economic Conference a Referring to disarmament, he said the conference session earlier this year was held without concrete results. "We still cherish ardent hopes," he continued, "but it would have been better if the States called upon to take the lead had agreed beforehand on a positive program." where the District Attorney has gone back on his promise. "The defense counsel and defendants have been misled in a manner that is nothing if not contemptuous.

The pleas would never have been taken if we had to go to trial again, for we would have had nothing to gain. We could have gone before a jury and have gotten nothing more than a conviction. The counsel, in entering the plea, believed they were saving their clients expense and months and months waiting jail for the new trials. "When, a week ago, I had read of the District Attorney's statements in the newspapers, I went to Mr. Geoghan stated the whole thing.

Only 'Messenger Boy' "Mr. Geoghan said to me: "Yes, Bill Kleinman discussed the whole thing with Judge McLaughlin, but Kleinman was acting as a messenger boy for Judge McLaughlin, and not as an Assistant District Attorney." Judge Fitzgerald turned to Kleinman, who had appeared agitated during Healy's blast, and asked: "Has the District Attorney any response to make?" "The District Attorney," Kleinman said, "is not desirous of trying this case in advance. The publicity has been overdone by both sides. The District Attorney will answer these affidavits." Judge Fitzgerald directed that the prosecutor's affidavits be submitted "for the record" not later than 4 p.m. tomorrow.

McKee in the municipal elections today halted, temporarily at least, the movement to nominate a Republican candidate to oppose Supreme Court Justice Peter P. Smith for re-election Republicans regard it as likely that Smith will be placed on the third ticket, should one be put in the field.

If this happens he will probably draw a great deal of independent support and greatly weaken the chances of any Republican nominee. With this possibility in mind, County Leader F. J. H. Kracke, following a conference with several leaders this morning, decided to hold the nominating convention on Monday instead of Friday, as previ- ouslyy scheduled.

Await McKee's Decision By Monday, they feel, the action of the McKee independents on the Brooklyn judicial slate will have been definitely decided. should the McKee group fail to indorse Smith the plan to nominate a Republi-probably former County Judge William R. Bayes-will be followed. Should Smith get the independent nomination, the Republican nomination will be tendered him, making it practically unanimous. One plan calls for nomination of Justice Smith by the Republican party and the nomination of Another candidate, possibly Bayes, by the City party, the fusion organization.

This would give the fusionists another line on the voting machine, which would be impossible if the tickets were identical.

The plan proposes a Bureau of Complaints, a Bureau of Interpretations, a Board of Mediation, a Bureau of Industrial Co-operation and such other divisions as the Administrator deems necessary. Late this afternoon Whalen was to go into session with representatives of the 15,000 striking painters.
