Not only is it process, product or material that one or another of 1,043 Industrial leaders would like to see developed for his industry but It has been indicated by the National Inventors Council, at the request of the Advisory Commission to the Council for National Defense, as one of those most urgent from the standpoint of national defense. An this comes out In a report from the Research Advisory Service established by 800 Industrial research laboratories. For It, the aforementioned industrial leaders listed literally hundreds of new things they would like to see developed. Of these about two score Wee starred aa urgent for defense. Here are most of the starred Tools for welding structural steel in the field.

Cast iron that will bend rather than break. Steel alloy that will cast readily, machine freely, resist heat and acid. Metal alloy that will resist pitting by electric arcs. Materials to repiace tin in bronze alloys. Aluminum solder to work as well as lead solder.

ol 8 11 IS I I i I i I I I i Mangano Says Rudolph, Now Dead, Gave Key Confession, Men's Club Is Told The Murder, case was broken through a confession made by Harry I Rudolph, a police 'stool plsteon' who has since died. Sheriff James V. Mangano last night told members of the Men's Club of the Kat-bush Congregational Church, E. 18th St. and Dorchester Road.

He de- flared that Rudolph made the con- fession while detained as a ma terial witness in W. 53d St Jail. Manhattan. The prisoner died last May of a heart condition while in jail. "Rudolph, an auto thief, had a falling out with members of his mob," Sheriff Mangano said.

"Later, Rudolph was arrested for a crime which resulted in his sentence to Rikers Island for an indefinite term. While being taken there by one of my deputies, he spoke a good deal about the Brownsville murder mob. Tjitpr hn nas hrnuuht in a wit-! 1 ness in another case. Again he was in the custody of the Sheriff's office, and once again he divulged information, mentioning the names of Buggsy Goldstein, Kid Twist Reles, Duke Maffetore. Dasher Abban-dando, Harry Catalon, Happy Mal-on, Harry Strauss and Pretty Boy Levine.

'Angry at the Mob "Rudolph, who was also known as 'Harry the was angry at the mob, because he felt that they had double-crossed him, with the result that he was arrested and imprisoned. He felt he had received a 'bum as he said. After I was informed of this murder ring, in which six murders were revealed, I thought it was a fantastic tale, but decided to give It further attention.

They thought the Polish-American element would fall for these un-American and unfair tactics. Our street corner meetings will take care of that. We take encouragement in the fact that Emil S. Brykczynski, 83-year-old Brooklyn wholesale baker and outstanding Polish patriot, who was grand marshal of Sunday's Pulaski Memorial Day parade, openly demonstrated his support of Mr.

Willkie, Mr. Pointkowski said. Declaring that the 20.000 voters who gave Roosevelt a four and one-half to one plurality over Landon in 1936 "have broken party lines completely," Mr. Pointkowski continued. "They all know that not a single Kings County delegate to the Democratic convention, including the Greenpoint delegate, voted for the Roosevelt nomination in Chicago.

Why was It that the organization itself wasn't true to the party?"

Unfortunately for us, modern conditions plus foreign influences, augmented by Inordinate ambition in Washington, have transferred the field of discussion to foreign areas. In that field, Willkie has spoken his convictions frankly and honestly and with his own voice.

LEADER Heffernan cut a dashing figure on the seat of a speedwagon in the races which were held along Ocean Parkway. The automobiles put an end to that sport in Brooklyn.

Mr. Heffernan became leader In 1925, after the death of Timothy Griffin, beating Harry T. Rogers. Not until nine years later did any one contest his leadership. In 1934 Alfred G.

Haslam opposed him, but went down in the primary, as did every insurgent since then. The leader lives with his wife and daughter, Patricia, a freshman at Marymount College, at 65 Prospect Park West. Like his brother, Bill, with whom he ran a saloon many years ago, he does not use liquor. Sometimes at a banquet he will sip a little sherry so as not to look like a bluehose. He seldom eats at banquets, preferring a home dinner at 6 p.m.

WILLIAM T. SIMPSON William T. 6impson, Park Slope Republican leader, has been a party worker since, he came to Brooklyn from Suffolk County as a 21-year-old law student; has had an active career in. Albany as Assemblyman and Stat Senator, and has been his party' choice for judicial and Congressional office. Hi feud, Mayor John T.

M.Hylari made a lively chapter the Apolitical history of M' year ago, especially his charges that Mr. Hylan was using the municipal railo. station WNYC for a parade of commissioners and other city employes to aound the praises of the Hylan administration. The fact that Democratic critics have within the last few years said the same things about Mayor LaGuardia and WNYC shows there's nothing much new under the political sun no matter which side of the fence it brightens. Born in Patchogue on Aug.

18, 1886, Mr, Simpson made the study of politics and economics a hobby while still in high school. When he came to Brooklyn he went into the game In a serious way. He haunted the 12th A. D. Republican Club (William M.

uaioer, me former U. S. Senator, was then I ITI, nr every task that popped up, Ran ln 'n was quite a while that 1 did nothing but rush around," Mr. Simpson reminisced years later. I think I managed to get on al- mo'-t everv committee in the club, and I worked harrier than any three men." In 1913 he got his first reward.

was picked to run for the Assembly. The regular Republicans were being bucked by the Bull Moosers that year and Mr, Simpson had a primary contest, but he won that and went on to election in November. Mr. Simpson served four coiwecu- live years in the A.ssembly. In 1917 he joined the Air Servire Signal Corps and was away at rump dur- 1115 the campaign.

He wasn't re- but went bark to the As senbly for a single term in 1920 and spent the next two years ln iW 4 I I William T. Simpwn 7 Like a postman on his day off, this ship news reporter couldn't stop looking at ships and inspecting waterfronts on his recent cruise through the Caribbean and along the Spanish Main. Every time the Santa Rosa approached a port, we roused ourselves from a deckchalr and reverted to type. At St. George, Bermuda, the Grace liner slipped through the narrow chanel dug through the coral and went to a pier at which Caracas, the country's capital.

But was berthed a little Norwegian 1 because of millions spent in erect-whaler, the type of boat which ac- ing a dock and warehouse, Puerto tually chases the whale and har- i Cabello eventually will surpass La JAMES J. HEFFERNAN James J. Heffernan, college man, architect, wealthy enough to think of politics In terms other than a job for himself on the public pay roll, differs in many respects from the old type of ward boss but he's just as effective. Democratic leader of the 12th A. D.

for the last IS years, he has made the former silk-stocking Park Slope Republican district Into a Democratic fortress with the strength of a pre -1940 Gibraltar. In the LaOuardia landslide of 1933 he was the only chieftain in all Brooklyn to give Mayor John Patrick O'Brien a plurality. The 12th i Jamea J. Heffernan went for Mr. O'Brien by a margin of 160 votes; slim, but uniquely successful.

With the support of his elder brother, Bill, the 7th A. D. leader and Elections Commissioner, James J. Heffernan is one of the most formidable factors In the councils of the local Democratic organization. He came within an ace of 7, ,7 111 1934 after John McCooey death, but Kenny Sutherland.

Tom Wo.an ana a iew more ot tne Old Guard ganced ud on him. with the result that there was auch a mixup that a compromise was effected ln the form of the Kelly-Wogan-Sinnott triumvirate, from which Frank V. Keliy eventually emerged as the county leader. Fight With Evans When Marcellus H. Evans, the Congressman from Mr.

Heffernan's district, turned sour on the New Doal Mr. Heffernan and his organization turned down the Congressman and designated the leader for the nomination. Mr. Heffernan beat Mr. Evans in last month's primary but must fight him again ln November because the Republican party has adopted Mr.

Evans as its nominee. In the same primary Mr. Heffernan sought the American Labor party nomination with the support qthe Right Wing faction in the A. L. P.

The election wa.i declared a tie between Mr. Heffernan and Joseph Dermody, C. I. O. union leader, and the A.

L. P. executive committee, under Right Wing control, later declared Mr. Heffernan the nominee. The Left Wing faction has refused to recognize the action and the case Is still ln the courts.

Like his elder brother, young Jim breathed an air laden with politics in the hotel run by his late father at 4th Ave. and Prospect Ave. ithfii known aa Middle Jim went to Bryant Stratton College in the old City of Brooklyn and to Pratt Institute, where he studied architecture. He was awarded an architect's degree from New York University. His Public Office The only public offices Leader Heffernan has held were as Superintendent of Highways for seven and a half years and as delegate to the 1938 State Constitutional Convention.

His district has always received a big helping out of the patronage basket though. As a youth Jim had a nonv His fondnew for horses eventually led I him to the presidency of the Pleas ure Drivers Association, and Mr. 1 i "A I 1 S3 Ma A recognition of this truth caused Washington to write in his farewell address a warning against the "insidious wiles of foreign Influence." which he considered the most baneful" enemy of our liberty. This, Influence had been active In Washington's own administration. The Royalists, or 'Tories" whom he held to be traitors, had riot all migrated to Canada, and on the other side the Jeffersonians were Inclined to be sympathetic With the French revolutionary government whose excesses Washington abhorred.

He tried to steer an even course, with American national Interest and well-being his primary consideration. Fighting European Influences In the administrations that followed the Government fought all European Influences, a task often made difficult by sectional Interests and the deep-seated dislike of tyranny at the heart of the American people. The British War of 1812 had Its opponents In New England as did the Mexican War. However, the prevailing fear through the years was of British Influence which was active here in the Civil War; continental ambitions being regarded as futile after the Maximilian episode In Mexico. Throughout our history runs evidence of this: the dispute ever the Northeastern fisheries, and the Northwestern border, the "Fifty-four-forty or fight!" cam- paign cry arising from that affair, the Monroe Doctrine dispute over Venezuela In Cleveland's time are outstanding examples.

The conspicious cases of the American popular revolt against i European entanglements were in 1818, when President Wilson's appeal for a Democratic Congress was rejected, and in 1920, when Harding was elected on the League of Nations issue. F. D. R. Creates 'Foreign Issues' President Roosevelt began his policy of making foreign considerations paramount In American thought in his Chicago "quarantine" tpeech a few years ago.

I am not questioning his motive, but his has been covert, uncandid, disingenuous. It has culminated in the self-promoted "draft" for a third term, the refusal to meet the Republican candidate in open debate and the pose as the champion of democracy the world over. There is little doubt in the public mind as to the origin of the charge that Mr. Willkie represented here the cause of Hitler and his totalitarian allies and associates. The voice may be the voice of Wal- lace and regrettably of Lehman's but the purpose is the purpose of Roosevelt.

The words are characteristically used to make an apparent truth cover a cowardly thrust. For, if any American is respon-alble for the transference of an American Presidential campaign to regions as remote as the Libyan Desert and the Burma Road It is Franklin Roosevelt and not Wendell Wlllkle. During President Cleveland's first term, Sir Lionel Sackville-West was Britain's Ambassador. He wrote a letter, which he did not Intend for publication. It indicated that the British Government desired Cleveland's re-election.

Upon its publication, the President asked for Sackvllle-West's recall, but the Republicans raised the cry: "West-West-Sackville West; he carries Grover Cleveland In the pocket of his vest." Cleveland was defeated. "It leads," said George Washington, discussing the evils of Intervention, "to the concession "cloiier zmn. in i- i'' i lhl. premises the BiiniUith of Krookiyn.

Isaacs said the speedy work of Justices Charles C. Lockwood, who handled the Kincsboroueh case, and Charles B. McLaughlin, had resulted in ''substantial savincs in costs and interest eharces." the State Senate. While a Senator he was married to Helen Van Tuyl, with whom he lives at 575 3d St. While in the Assembly he kept his head in the post-war hysteria which led to the summary ouster of the five elected Socialist Assemblymen and denounced the ouster action by the majority in his own party as "ab.solutely arbitrary, precipitate and Leader for Nine Years Never afraid to face an is.sue, he engaged in public debates with many of his Democratic opponents.

I i I i 1 i 1 Guaira where port facilities are limited. Puerto Cabello is also the headquarters of the Venezuelan navy. This consists chiefly of a destroyer obtained from Italy in exchange for oil and an old gunboat which was once a Gould yacht. When Dictator Gomez was alive he always kept steam up on the yacht, as he never knew when he might need It for a quick getaway. But Gomez, despite all his enemies and evil deeds lived to the ripe old age of 80 and died in bed.

The gunboat yacht remains at anchor and occasionally goes to sea. Waiting Out the War The most interesting looking ship at Puerto Cabello Is the Italian tanker Dentice. She was at Mara-calbo when the war and a French cruiser caught up with her. They tried to scuttle the Dentice but did not make a complete job of it. Brought into Puerto Cabello, she is aground and listing to port.

Only the superstructure of her bridge has been damaged and it is expected that she will be repaired. Inside the harbor two or three Italian and one German ship waiting out the war. In the evening seamen from these Rather at a bar run by a German and drink beer. They hope the United Stales and Venezuela will keep out nf the war, as they rio not wish to become prisoners of war. Puerto Cabello is bad enough without being put in a prison there.

Upon our return to New York we learned that one of our colleagues at the Barge Office had not been wasting his time on Chinese checkers, poker and other pastimes. Robert Wilder of the Sun applied the finishing touches to his novel, "God Has a Lonfc- Face." which Putnam will publish on Oct. 18. If it is a best seller. Mr.

Wilder will probably desert his old sailor friends on South St. and retire to some ivory tower and write more novels. poons them. The "killer" boat, as she Is known, has been converted into a minesweeper and each morning plies back and forth across the entrance of the channel. The whaler still has her harpoon gun mounted on her bow and there remains the little runway from the gun to the pilot house.

Also in the harbor were two British freighters who were having their de-Gaussing anti-mine devices repaired. Bermuda is a convoy station and there are always scores of grim-looking camouflaged vessels at anchor waiting to Join the long sea train that runs across the Atlantic to England. At Curacao Our next port of call was Curacao in the Dutch West Indies. As we wrote last week this once busy bunker port has been hard hit by the war and there is only a minimum of traffic through Its famous pontoon bridge. There was another Norwegian "killer" boat at Curacao and 6he, top, had been pressed into war service.

Previous to the invasion of Holland there had been eight, or nine German ships interned there. But now only the Vancouver remains and she is also ready to steam out under the Dutch flag. It was at Venezuela's two seaports, La Guaira and Puerto Cabello, that we found out what happens to old schooners and sailing craft of all descriptions. The friendly trsde winds mean extra years for these old hulls and their pntched canvasses. The ships engage ln trade with the nearby Dutch islands and in runs along the coast, Tls 6ald that not a few of these sailing ships indulge in smuggling when conditions permit.

They are entirely propelled by the wind and to maneuver in and out oi port tne seamen resort, to long oars and pull as though thry were in 1 Roman galley. La Ouatra 1 regarded a Venezuela's chief port, It la closest to I to the favorite nation of leges denied to others, which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions, by un-, hece.varlly parting with what tight to have been retained and its gives to ambitious, torrupted and deluded citizens facility to betray or sacrifice the I.
