Aqueduct Jury Again Hears Mystery Man WHITE PLAINS The Grand Jury investigation into the affairs of Local 60 of the International Hod Carriers, Building and Com- mon Laborers Union, in connection with activities of Westchester union locals during the recent con- struction of the New York City aqueduct system, resumed today. District Attorney Elbert T. Gal- lagher said one witness would be heard. He is the same man who appeared when the inquiry was opened a week ago and whose iden- tity is being closely guarded. Mr. Gallagher said the Grand Jury will continue its study of rec- ords of Local 60 which were seized over a year ago by representatives of the State Attorney General, as- sisted by State Police, in a raid on the local's offices at 16 Lockwood Avenue, Yonkers. The records have been in the custody of the Attorney General since the raid and are said to have been used in connection with other investigations in New York and Orange Counties. They were turn- ed over to Mr. Gallagher and Chief Assistant District Attorney John J. Dillon. Mr. Gallagher said the records and an analysis of their contents are a necessary preliminary to the inquiry. He said it is impossible, at this time, to reveal the scope of the investigation or to make known the identity of possible witnesses. The present witness, Mr. Gallag- her said, is not connected with the union under investigation, but he declined to make any further com- ment. The probe is being con- ducted before the April Grand Jury, which has been held over beyond its usual term. Two Westchester union officials are under indictment in New York on charges of extortion in connec- tion with the aqueduct work, and other union officials have been in- dicted as a result of a state inves- tigation in Orange County into the same project.

They fed all the animals at the zoo. Clarify Labor Rule, Law Chief Proposes WASHINGTON, (AP)—Attorney- General Biddle told Congress today that if it believes President Roose- velt exceeded his authority In seiz- ing Montgomery Ward and Com- pany's Chicago properties it should clarify the laws so the President 'may be guided accordingly." $10,000 BARK SAN PRANCISCO, (AP)—Sleep shattered by the pre^-dawn barking of Dr. Hans Von Gel'dern's spaniel, Beppo, was worth $10,000, Carl A. Rietz said in a suit against the physician. Westchester has but two, we sug- gest that a suitable woman run for Congress in one of those New York County Districts and help strength- en the Republican Party there." Mrs. Frank Rounds Up Names The 103 signatures of women from Yonkers, Bronxviile, Mount Vernon, Scarsdale and Osslnlng, said to have been obtained mainly by Mrs. Curtiss E. Prank, wife of the Yonkers Mayor, and five as- sistants, were attached to a peti- tion reading in part aa follows: "Many of us' from this district campaigned against New Dealers in the Bronx in 1940 and in 1942. We helped poll with Mr. Gwinn as the candidate 3,000 more votes than the New Dealer Fitzpatrick got In the Democratic Party. The women of New York County neither helped In that contest nor proposed a woman candidate to do battle for Congress then. "We deplore a prejudicial appeal in politics for a woman merely be- cause she is a woman, or because women have 60 per cent of the vote, or because of race, color, re- ligion or other special groups. The absent service men and the men in the district, and certainly most women, want the best available Congressman, regardless of either sex. "Mr. Gwinn has attained distinc- tion as a layman in education and religion. He is a successful farmer and business man who knows by practical experience what function- ing under New Deal laws and regu- lation and government planning are like. His knowledge of the law and his service In foreign af- fairs for some time abroad are primary qualifications In these times." None Lives In District On the other hand, the New York City Republican women yes- terday afternoon, through Mrs. Ruth Pratt, head of the Women's National Republican Club, an- swered Chairman Piatt's mildly worded offer to permit Miss Todd to reconsider her withdrawal of May 13, by questioning the sincer- ity of his answer. "There are a number of us." wrote Mrs. Pratt, "who have been In politics long enough to know that mere words are insufficient. We , know that the objective in which the voters of this state are •so deeply concerned will not be achieved otherwise than by honest action. The only action that can now be taken will be your consent to withdraw the pledges which have been made to your candidate." It was reported that a search of residence records by county Repub- lican headquarters failed to disclose that any one of the 16 women who signed the Pratt telegram to Chair- man Piatt lives in the 27th District, wherein the fight for the G.O.P. nomination has developed. Republicans Angry There were also reports that Re- publican women, as well as men, have become angered by the ap- parent attempts of the New York City group, backed by editorial ar- ticles in New York City news- papers, to dictate a Westchester nomination. A survey of Republican leaders made as the Executive Committee met this afternoon Indicates that if the designation of Mr. Gwinn by the committee on May 15 Is re- opened and the name of Miss Todd put up, the committee will stick with Mr. Gwinn by an overwhelm- ing vote. Only Greenburgh, Miss Todd's home town, is expected to cast votes in her behalf. Mrs. John H. Tallman was re- elected president of the Visiting Nurses' Association for a two-year term at an annual meeting yester- day at headquarters, $4 South Ninth Avenue. Others elected were Mrs. Harvey M. Kelly, first vice-president; Mrs. Daniel Relnhardsen, second vice- president; Mrs. Roscoc O. Xdlund, recording secretary; Mrs. Richard H a t i e r , corresponding secretary; Mrs. John C.

Joseph Roth sued Leonard Kauf­man for $900, and Eugene Ross sued Burton and Fenton for $1,-870.75 for property damage and personal injury as the result of automobile accidents. In both cases the Jury found for the defendants.

Cases settled after the Jury had been impanelled Included the suit of Vernco Realty Company vs. the City of Mount Vernon, in which the plaintiff sought damages of $1.-069.49 for property damage as the result of blasting operations. The case was on trial for two days be­fore a settlement was announced.

Also settled after a Jury had been impanelled was the case of David Smith vs. Larchmont Apartments, Inc., in which the plaintiff sought $1,914 JO for work, labor and serv­ices. Acting City Judge Ralph Car-retta intervened and effected the settlement immediately after the Jury was drawn.

Another case settled in the same manner was Charles Wicke vs. Arthur Glodey, for $800, which in­volved an auto accident and which was settled for $190.

Among the cases settled before a jury was impanelled was Jacob Bass vs. Loose-Wiles Biscuit Com­pany, in which the plaintiff claimed damages after he fell over a grat­ing. The suit was for $4,000 in two causes of action.

A case involving a conditional sales contract and goods sold and delivered, between W e s t c h e s t e r Stdre Fixtures and Andrew St. George, also was s e t t l e d . The amount asked on the contract was $102.92, and on the goods sold and delivered, $135.

Leading the three auto accident cases settled before a jury was drawn was Marie Tinarl and Rose Banazzi vs. John De Stefano, for $1,007.70. in two causes of action. This case was tried during the March jury term, but the verdict set aside and the case slated for retrial.

Roosevelt Victory Upstate Predicted

NEW YORK, (AP)—Predicting a Iburth. .term .for President Roose­velt, , Harold R. Moskovit, state president of the Affiliated Young Democrats of New York, says the President will carry his home state with a heavier upstate vote than in 1940.

He forecast that Mr. Roosevelt will carry all the upstate large cities."

Vernon Park section streets would endanger the lives of children and adults.

4. Creation of an industrial dis­trict in the midst of a Residence "A-l" district is a "glaring example" of "spotty zoning and Injurious to real estate values.

Several communications favoring the reclassification are on file with the Common Council and will be presented tonight.

Under a standing policy of the Council, no decision will be made tonight but a recommendation from the Zoning Committee probably will be submitted at a meeting in June.

Aqueduct Jury Again Hears Mystery Man

WHITE PLAINS — The Grand Jury investigation into the affairs of Local 60 of the International Hod Carriers, Building and Com­mon Laborers Union, in connection with activities of Westchester union locals during the recent con­struction of the New York City aqueduct system, resumed today.

District Attorney Elbert T. Gal­lagher said one witness would be heard. He is the same man who appeared when the inquiry was opened a week ago and whose iden­tity is being closely guarded.

Mr. Gallagher said the Grand Jury will continue its study of rec­ords of Local 60 which were seized over a year ago by representatives of the State Attorney General, as­sisted by State Police, in a raid on the local's offices at 16 Lockwood Avenue, Yonkers.

The records have been in the custody of the Attorney General since the raid and are said to have been used in connection with other investigations in New York and Orange Counties. They were turn­ed over to Mr. Gallagher and Chief Assistant District Attorney John J. Dillon.

Mr. Gallagher said the records and an analysis of their contents are a necessary preliminary to the inquiry. He said it is impossible, at this time, to reveal the scope of the investigation or to make known the identity of possible witnesses.

The present witness, Mr. Gallag­her said, is not connected with the union under investigation, but he declined to make any further com­ment. The probe is being con­ducted before the April Grand Jury, which has been held over beyond its usual term.

Two Westchester union officials are under indictment in New York on charges of extortion in connec­tion with the aqueduct work, and other union officials have been in­dicted as a result of a state inves­tigation in Orange County into the same project.

Clarify Labor Rule, Law Chief Proposes

WASHINGTON, (AP)—Attorney-General Biddle told Congress today that if it believes President Roose­velt exceeded his authority In seiz­ing Montgomery Ward and Com­pany's Chicago properties it should clarify the laws so the President 'may be guided accordingly."

$10,000 BARK SAN PRANCISCO, (AP)—Sleep

Westchester has but two, we sug­gest that a suitable woman run for Congress in one of those New York County Districts and help strength­en the Republican Party there." Mrs. Frank Rounds Up Names

The 103 signatures of women from Yonkers, Bronxviile, Mount Vernon, Scarsdale and Osslnlng, said to have been obtained mainly by Mrs. Curtiss E. Prank, wife of the Yonkers Mayor, and five as­sistants, were attached to a peti­tion reading in part aa follows:

"Many of us' from this district campaigned against New Dealers in the Bronx in 1940 and in 1942. We helped poll with Mr. Gwinn as the candidate 3,000 more votes than the New Dealer Fitzpatrick got In the Democratic Party. The women of New York County neither helped In that contest nor proposed a woman candidate to do battle for Congress then.

"We deplore a prejudicial appeal in politics for a woman merely be­cause she is a woman, or because women have 60 per cent of the vote, or because of race, color, re­ligion or other special groups. The absent service men and the men in the district, and certainly most women, want the best available Congressman, regardless of either sex.

"Mr. Gwinn has attained distinc­tion as a layman in education and religion. He is a successful farmer and business man who knows by practical experience what function­ing under New Deal laws and regu­lation and government planning are like. His knowledge of the law and his service In foreign af­fairs for some time abroad are primary qualifications In these times." None Lives In District

On the other hand, the New York City Republican women yes­terday afternoon, through Mrs. Ruth Pratt, head of the Women's National Republican Club, an­swered Chairman Piatt's mildly worded offer to permit Miss Todd to reconsider her withdrawal of May 13, by questioning the sincer­ity of his answer.

"There are a number of us." wrote Mrs. Pratt, "who have been In politics long enough to know that mere words are insufficient. We , know that the objective in which the voters of this state are

•so deeply concerned will not be achieved otherwise than by honest action. The only action that can now be taken will be your consent to withdraw the pledges which have been made to your candidate."

It was reported that a search of residence records by county Repub­lican headquarters failed to disclose that any one of the 16 women who signed the Pratt telegram to Chair­man Piatt lives in the 27th District, wherein the fight for the G.O.P. nomination has developed. Republicans Angry

There were also reports that Re­publican women, as well as men, have become angered by the ap­parent attempts of the New York City group, backed by editorial ar­ticles in New York City news­papers, to dictate a Westchester nomination.

A survey of Republican leaders made as the Executive Committee met this afternoon Indicates that if the designation of Mr. Gwinn by the committee on May 15 Is re­opened and the name of Miss Todd put up, the committee will stick with Mr. Gwinn by an overwhelm­ing vote. Only Greenburgh, Miss Todd's home town, is expected to cast votes in her behalf.

Mrs. John H. Tallman was re­elected president of the Visiting Nurses' Association for a two-year term at an annual meeting yester­day at headquarters, $4 South Ninth Avenue.

Others elected were Mrs. Harvey M. Kelly, first vice-president; Mrs. Daniel Relnhardsen, second vice-president; Mrs. Roscoc O.

The president praised the work of the entire nursing staff and the co­operation of the board members and of Mrs. Mattie A. Brown, who is in charge of the office.

A total of 1,397 articles was con­tributed by local organizations, ac­cording to a report by Mrs. Frank Locke, chairman of supplies.
