It is believed that if one Boro President can dismiss employees regardless of Civil Service protection, the other Boro Presidents can do the same, to the end that no man employed by the city would lie secure in hiM job.

At the office of the Civil service Commission it was said that no notice about the layoffs had yet been received from Richmond. Among departmental heads the rule has been not to lay off employees who passed Civil Service examinations, except on charges. President Cuhill declared that he "found it necessary to reorganize his department and 1 am doing it." Charles 1. Stengle, secretary of the Municipal Civil Service Commission, said that an investigation was being made in the matter. WEINBERG ON TRIAL FOR ILLEGAL USE OF NAVY'S UNIFORM Ethan Allan Weinberg, or Clifford G.

Wyman, the man of a dozen aliases and a score of disguises, went on trial before Judge Thomas I. Chatflc-ld in the U. S. District Court here today, on the charge of illegally wearing a naval uniform in May, 1.020. Until the court recessed ut 1 p.m., the testimony adduced was by Government witnesses and the evidence was all against the changeable Stephan.

The Government's chief witness was Morria Jacobs of Ihe firm of Henry Jacobs 204 Sands munu-faoturijrs pf naval uniforms. Jacobs testified that on May 6 or 7.

Another member of the uniform firm, Jesse Jacobs, of 5 Temple Court, udded picturesque touches to the manner in which Weinberg purehaaed the boat cloak. The younger Jacobs testified that he accompanied Weinberg out of the store to his home in Day Ridge after he had put on the cloak. On lie day the naval "officer" told him about bis experiences in college and the important work he was commissioned to do in Paris. He noticed that Jacobs wore heavy glasses. "Got trouble with your eyes?" Jacobs said that he had.

"Come up i-ml take a seat on the said President Rlcgel- to Air. Pounds, jocously. "Vou must feel strange down there on the other side of tho fence." "Thanks," Mr.

"I am noi personally interested in (he he said, "but I am vitally interested in the property lying to the south and the east of this area, upon the development or which a great deal of money lias already been spent." "Didn't you vote for the Zoning Law?" Controller Ciaig asked.

Mr. Pounds was a member of the Board of Estimate when the Zoning Law was adopted. "1 did;" he replied, quickly. "But with the understanding thut changes would be made when found necessary. The zoning ordinance was purposely made elastic.

March 24 Although the Grand Jury returned ar indictment against John Both and Andrew-Weston of the contracting firm of Both and Weston, which some regard a vindication tor supreme i. ouri Justice 8elah Ii. Strong, the Nassau County Ba Association will go ahead with its legislative investigation on the. ground that it is not concerned what the Grand Jury but only what, they charge. Justice Strong has done.

The members of the Bar will not discuss the matter other than say that when the proper time comes they will proceed with their testimony in support of the charges. The complete exoneration of Senator George L. Thompson by the Grand Jury, which stated there was not a scintilla of proof of any attempt on the. part of Senator Thompson to block legislation at any time, is regarded hy the lawyers as supporting evidence of their charge. Now, with the discharge of the December Grand Jury, both sides are awaiting the next step.

It. is held by lawyers that the reading of testimony taken before the Grand Jury to members who were not present the testimony was given is contrary to law. It is rumored round the cutirthous--! that the I 'oe investigations started by Justice Strong tasl Iwiin-her will be ontinued by him in April, but no continuation of ibis rumor was obtainable.
