The Legislature, he said, must accept responsibility "for the destruction of property and the crippling of essential services to 13,000,000 people." The message was the third sent to the Legislature by the Governor in as many consecutive days and recapitulated his contentions that the Republicans were acting in violation of the constitution and that the cuts they ordered In the budget were unsound and unwise. Says Cot Is Below Safety Point The court test as to the budget's constitutionality was expected to en sue because of the Democrats' con tention that the Republicans were discarding the line-item system and substituting lump sum departmental appropriations.

The Governor Informed the Legislature that. In submitting the budget he himself had slashed the requests of administrative department heads more than $140,000,000 and that the Republicans now were proposing to reduce this figure below the safety point by another $6,800,000. His own recommended appropriations, the Governor insisted, had been "cut to the bone." Counts Leave Defense in Dark Kleinman Says Asks Names of Others Accused Prosecutor Denies 'Vagueness' Counsel for County Judge George W. Martin argued strenuously tor a bill of particulars today, declaring a bribery indictment returned aqair.st the Jurist by an Amen grand Jury leaves the defense "completely In the dark." Supreme Court Justice Francis D. McCurn reserved decision on the request.

He gave both sides until Tuesday to submit memorandums. The original application was made before Supreme Court Justice Edward Riegelmann, but after brief discussion before the latter today, the motion was turned over to Justice McCurn. Panel of 300 Selected The blue ribbon panel of 200 from which the Martin Jury is to be chosen was this afternoon from a drum containing more than 600 names by Supreme Court Justice Harry Lewis. Also present In the Municipal Building offices of the Commissioner of J-ircs at the time were Supreme Coirt Justice Peter P. Smith, David Price of counsel for Judge Martin; Deputy Commissioner of Jurors William A.

Lane, the special prosecutor and five of his assistants. An "intensive investigation" of the 200 plrked will be made before the Jury is chosen, it was said at Amen headquarters. The trial is scheduled to start May 22. Demands Names of Others Former Assistant District Attorney William W. Kleinman, counsel for Judge Martin, demanded to know the names of the latter's alleged co-conspirators, details of conversations between them and payments made to them, as well as the identity of witnesses who testified against the Jurist.

"Without the names of the other conspirators," Kleinman said, "we go Into this trial completely in the We cannot take stock of 6treet corner rumors." 1 i I When a short circuit in the elevator system of the 28-story skyscraper at 26 Court St. this morninjr halted vertical traffic for several hours, Ruth Rosenthal (left) and Muriel Saltz were among the hundreds compelled to fall back on good old foot power. Ironically, they were bound for a chiropodist on the 18th floor when the service failed. Among those who had to lift 'em up and put 'em down was Fred Schafer, Federal grand jury foreman, who had to climb all the way to the 19th floor to get some papers needed at a grand jury hearing.

Harry Sirgel, 26, of 100 La Salle StH Manhattan, indicted for burglary and grand larceny and in the Tombs under $2,500 ball since March 21, had that bail reduced in General Sessions today to $1,000. Judge John J. Freschl set the lower figure, which Abraham V. Kaplan, defense attorney, said he would furnish later so that Siegel might get out of jail long enough to take the examination tomorrow for the job of policeman. The possibly future policeman was charged with breaking Into the Hebrew Orphan Asylum, 1560 Amsterdam Ave Manhattan, and stealing' seven violins from childrens' lockers.

Taft Asks Papers To Urge Economy Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, one of the G. O. white hopes for 1940, warned 1,500 members of the American Newspaper Publishers Association at their closing dinner last night In the Hotel Waldorf-As toria, Manhattan, that New Deal expenditures "have been pushed above a safe level and that the majority of Senators and Congressmen realize the present condition cannot continue." Senator Taft urged the publishers to spread an appeal for Government reduction of expenditures to the people. "Unless we are prepared to wreck the United States," Senator said, "we must find some one to say to the people and to Congress that the Government has certain limitations beyond which It cannot tax without choking all industry and that the expenditures must -be brought within that limitation." Mayor LaGuardia, also a speaker at the dinner, agreed with "a great deal" of Senator Taft's statements about the cost of government but added: "How you are going to cut taxes with all of that is more than I know."

Should the status quo be maintained for the next month it will avoid the threat of a stoppage which would add 100,000 men to the 000 now idle because of the soft coal deadlock. The extension was to be announced late this afternoon at the Engineering Societies Building, 29 W.

39th Manhattan, where hard coal owners and the United Mine Workers representatives are meet ing. Meanwhile the bituminous confer ence adjourned until tomorrow to give operators an opportunity to consider a proposal, details of which were kept secret. it was aiso understood that a tentative proposal had been made by the operators which the union men wished to discuss in detail with members of the miners' committee who were not present at the joint conference. After a night of shuttling back and forth between private caucuses held by both sides Dr. John R.

Steelman, chief conciliator for the Department of Labor, warned as the conference began that "too much optimism at the moment might be There were strong Indications that the conference, being held at the Hotel BUtmore, Manhattan, would not, for the first time In seven weeks, take a Sunday recess. City Faces Crisis Unless a settlement of the soft coal dispute is reached the city will face an Industrial crisis by tomorrow night, according to Mayor LaGuardia. The Mayor made this flat state ment last night at Poughkeepsle, where he stopped for a short time en route from Albany to the city. He repeated his hope that President Roosevelt will Intervene to end the deadlock between owners and the United Mine Workers of America. "Each day that passes without a settlement means that much less coal In the bins," the Mayor said, "and considering the time needed for transportation there will be a crisis In 48 hours unless something is done." The controversial point remains the demand of the C.

I. O. union for either the closed shop or elimi nation from the proposed contract of a clause penalizing miners for striking during the period of the agreement.

Guards May Be Withdrawn A police escort from Englewood met the Lindbergh party as it crossed the George Washington Bridge at Fort Lee and took over the escort from the New York police. The Englewood police accompanied Mrs.

Lindbergh to the gates of the Morrow estate. Fifteen minutes later Police Chief Charles A. Peterson of Englewood received a request for a guard and a patrolman was assigned to the estate. The guard may be withdrawn later, If the same lack of curiosity is shown as attended Lindbergh own arrival a few weeks ago, U. S.

Rests Case At Passport Trial The Federal Government rested its case today in the trial of three defendants charged with conspiracy to violate the passport laws, which has been going on before Federal Judge Henry W. Goddard for more than two weeks. What was expected to be the high point in the trial, the testimony of Loy W. Henderson, the Government's last witness, turned out to be a bare factual account of his Interview with Mrs. Ruth Norma Robinson in Moscow, with his testimony frequently Interrupted by objections of defense counsel.

Henderson, who is no wasslstant chief of the division of European affairs of the State Department, was charge d'affaires at the United States Embassy in Moscow in December, 1937, and Is supposed to have been the last person to have spoken to Mrs. Robinson, or Reubens, as she was also known, before she and her husband were sent to a Soviet prison. Henderson said that he talked to a woman who said her name was Ruth Norma Robinson in the National Hotel in Moscow on Dec. 8, 1937. He said he saw her once after that, two months later, but not In the hotel.

He said he made no effort to see the mysterious Robinson. He was shown a photograph attached to the passport application of Ruth Marie Rubens and said it was the same woman. He said he had attempted to see her passport but was not successful. Mrs. Robinson told him, he declared, that she bad turned it over to the hotel officials.

Louis I. Duke and three women aides was unnecessarily vague, Kleinman asked: "Who was it with whom Judge Martin spoke? Who are these conspirators? Who gave Judge Martin the alleged bribe? Who spoke to him at the time? Who saw the paasage of money? Were they accomplices? If they are we want to know It." Had there been a Magistrate's Court hearing those questions would have been answered, Mr. Kleinman said. He referred to Judge Martin as "not an ordinary defendant" and added, "You can't rush him into a trial without any knowledge of the facts on which the charges are based." In reply, Assistant Attorney General Samuel S. Isseks held that Judge Martin had been questioned at length before the grand Jury which indicted him and "had plenty of opportunity to know who was connected with this case." Mr.

Isseks maintained the Indictment was "fairly definite." He cited several cases in which similar motions for bills of particulars had been denied. "It would be against the interests of the people to grant this information at the present time," Mr. Isseks said. 1 iO II Annl lraiin llirV rkiii ix J1 aim JUl Thinks So Too As have many grand Juries before lt. the April grand Jury as a final act today handed up to County!

He said the commissioner of mental hygiene reported that in the care of 100,000 "helpless and mentally HI people," 1.500 hospital attendants would have to be dropped and that the "pitifully meager" allowance of six cents per patient's meal would have to be lowered.
