The convention also defeated, a measure that would have granted preference to war veterans in all civil service classifications except laborers and teachers. This action came as the delegates, pressing toward final adjournment by late today, adopted five more measures for submission to the November electorate bringing the total since it convened April 5 to 47. Other measures adopted in a lengthy night session would permit official referees to preside in Supreme Court proceedings when private property is taken for any public use and permit compensa tion for acquisition of private property for public use to be ascer tained by the Supreme Court without a jury or with an official referee.

The permissive social welfare plan embodied in the separate pro posals, extends health and welfare services to children of denomina tional as well as public schools, makes the education and support of the physically handicapped a concern of the state and localities, permits the legislature to provide for use of the state's credit to finance unemployment insurance, and removes any state prohibition against distribution of federal funds allotted for health and welfare purposes. Wagner Backs Health Plan U. S. Senator Robert F. Wagner, ardent New Dealer and convention minority leader, argued as vigor ously in support of the health in surance program at the night session as he did earlier in the day in opposition to the anti-bureaucracy proposal that adversaries labelled a whack at the New Deal." The latter measure, part of a vol uminous "judiciary" article, gives courts the right of review on the facts, as well as the law, in appeals from decisions of state boards except those dealing with taxation, workmen's compensation, education, public health and social welfare.

At present, courts may review departmental rulings only on the law. Approval of the controversial anti bureaucracy provision came despite an assertion by Democratic Governor Lehman, avowed candi date for the United States Senate, that it would "weaken authority and orderly administration" and a warning by Senator Wagner that it would "cripple every administra tive body in the state." Rippey's Motion Lost Before approving finally the anti-bureaucracy proposal, the dele gates rejected a motion of Roches ter's Associate Judge Harlan Rippey of the Court of Appeals to strike it from the article and an other amendment offered by Supreme Court Jusitce Charles Sears, Buffalo, giving citizens the right to review only to determine whether administrative decisions are "unsupported by substantial evidence or whether arbitrary or capricious. Democratic Judge Rippey, in op posing the accepted measure, argued "it will tend to make less efficient the various state agencies and at the same time clog the courts." One GOP Dissenter Forty-five of the 46 votes against the judiciary article were cast by Democrats. The single dissenting Republican was Philip Halpern, Buffalo. The article also provides for a new judicial district to be known as the 10th, composed of Nassau and Suffolk counties and which Democrats opposed as "politics;" requires retirement of judges of all courts, except justices of the peace and police justices, at the age of 70; permits removal or retirement by the Appellate Division of Supreme Court justices, judges of the court of claims, surrogates, general sessions end county judges, and prohibits children's court judges from acting as counsel for defendants in criminal cases in his county or an adjacent county.

Is Qpened quested Justice Ferdinand Pecora to revoke the $500 bail which Williams had furnished as a material witness and increase bail to $10,000. The justice agreed and Williams was remanded to the Tombs in lieu of bond. Three former Harlem policy operators preceeded Williams to the stana. Camille Monsato, 48, a British West Indies Negro, told of a hearing six years ago in Erwin's court when the magistrate dismissed 42 defendants because it could not re shown they "exercised any ownership or control over policy slips seized in a raid. Went Back to Work Monsanto testified that after the defendants were discharged "we went right back to the same work." Wilfred Brunder, 43, ano'ther West Indies Negro, took the stand for the second day to tell of death threats he said members of the Schultz mob made to his partner in a Harlem policy bank, Fred McLaughlin.

The threats, he said, were made when McLaughlin refused to turn his "business" over to the Schultz gang. Brunder said he learned when he left prison in 1932 that Schultz had "moved in" on the policy racket, squeezing out small indi vidual operators and making it u. cold monopoly. Brunder's testimony corroborated Dewey's statement in his opening address Wednesday when he said the Schultz mob manipulated the game so that no one could make big winnings. Conferees Stalled In Railway Strike Chicago VP) The Chicago, North Shore Milwaukee Rail road and its union employes were in a stalemate last night over a 15 per cent wage cut order which led to suspension of operations Tuesday morning.

Conciliator Harry E. Scheck of the Federal Labor Department said the situation was "serious" and called for assistance. He com mented the strike apparently would become a long drawn out affair." He said Conciliator Robert Pilkington had been assigned by the department to come here from Detroit. Scheck has negotiated for three days with officials of the railroad and the unions involved. A railroad spokesman said "no new ideas" developed yesterday when Scheck talked with A.

Sprague, receiver, and Bernard Fallon, executive officer of the railroad. Board Seeks Data On Lost Clipper Washington (P) Secretary Roper appointed a board of inquiry yesterday to investigate the disap pearance of the Hawaiian Clippe last July 28 between Guam and Manila. The board, probably the last its kind to be appointed by the Commerce Department before the Civil Aeronautics Authority takes charge of aviation regulation Mon day, was composed of Robert Hoyt, Philip C. Salzman and Wil liam T. Miller.

All three are in spectors of the Air Commerce Bureau that will be absorbed by the new authority. Denis Mulligan, director of th Air Commerce Bureau, said thought most of the information about the missing flying boat could be obtained in San Francisco, but it might be necessary to send invest! gators to the Philippines. 0a I LOYAL FORCES RECOVER HILLS Ilendaye, France (At the Spanish Frontier) CP) The Spanish government yesterday reported victories on the two most important civil war battlefronts in the Ebro River valley and west of Ainraden, the mercury mining center. Barcelona- advices said Ebro River forces had smashed their way back into complete control of hills dominating Gandesa, recovering positions lost to the insurgents since the July 26 push across the river in South Catalonia. The victory in the south where the insurgents have been striving to take over some of Spain's richest natural resources, was purely defensive.

The government reported only that it had blocked the two-pronged drive toward Alma-den. Insurgent dispatches indicated southern insurgent campaign merely was being held up to permit reinforcements necessitated by the new government resistance. Representatives in Zurich Zurich, Switzerland iJP) Simultaneous appearance in Zurich yesterday of the premier of government Spain and the Spanish insurgent representative in London inspired reports that the two had met as representatives of the warring Spanish factions. Swiss sources were inclined to discount a statement by Dr. Juan Negrin, Spanish government premier, that he came to Zurich only to attend the International Congress of Physiologists.

It was pointed out that he had left his hotel at the hour of the Congress banquet, but failed to appear there. Associates of the Duke of Alba, insurgent representative in London, declined to disclose why he" was in Zurich. He and Negrin had suites at different hotels, both of which were guarded. Crash Hurts Fatal For Pilot of Plane Poughkeepsie P) John G. Cavanaugh, 21, Poughkeepsie, died yesterday in a hospital here of injuries received when the airplane he was piloting crashed last Monday night near New Hackensack, N.

Y. A passenger in the airplane, Clinton C. Corse, 29, New Hackensack, was killed in the crash. FDR Pledges Aid Of U. S.

Arms To Canada Thousand Islands Bridge, U. S.Canada Border UP) Canada and the United States were placed before the world yesterday by their chief executives as an example of friendship -which the people of both nations are determined to preserve and defend against any onslaught. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, I receiving an honorary degree from ancient Queens University, told an audience of thousands of applaud- ing Canadians 1 "The Dominion of Canada is part of the sisterhood of the British Em- e. I give to you assurance that the people of the United States will not stand idly by if domination of Canadian soil is threatened by any ether empire." Later at the dedication ceremonies President Roosevelt frorgly urged development of St.

Ijwn r.ce waternower under the supervision of Canada and tWj States. After the ceremonies he boarded his special train to go to Hyde Park. Prime Minister MacKenzie King of Canada answering the President's declaration, asserted: I tr.ir.k I speak the mind of both countries when I say that not only are determined to preserve the neighborly relations and the free uavi of life which are our pr.celess heritage, but that we earnestly wish to see them become a part of the common heritage of mankind. "It is a joy to me to be able to join with the President in drawing to the attention of the citizens of other lands, as well as our own, the wide significance of today's proceedings." The Common Good Both executives joined in the dedication of the new $3,000,000 Thousand Islands Bridge which links Ivy Lea, and Collins Landing, N. Y.

Prime Minister King and Lieut. Gov. Albert Mathews of Ontario met Mr. Roosevelt at his special train and rode with him in an open car through lines of applaud-ing spectators to Queens University, at Kingston. There President Roosevelt recalled to his listeners that a Brazilian audience had cheered when he "included the Dominion cf Canada in the fellowships of the Americas." "We as good neighbors are true friends," he continued, "because we maintain our own rights with frankness, because wj refuse to accept the twists of secret diplomacy, because w-e settle our disputes by consultation and because we discuss our common problems in the spirit of the common good." Then, asserting that both the American and Canadian governments sought to be "scrupulously fair both toward each other and their own citizens, the President said that neither government coul.i or should control the progresses of public opinion.

He added: "We can not prevent our people from having an opinion in regard to wanton brutality, in regard to undemocratic regimentation, in regard to violations of accepted individual rights." Public Opinion Governs Democratic governments, the. President said, can only seek to aid their citizens in receiving factual and fairly-stated information about what is going on in the world. "Ko country where thought is free can prevent every fireside and home within it borders from considering the evidence for itself and rendering its own verdict; and the sum total of these conclusions of educated men and women will, in the long run, become the national verdict," he said.

St. Louis 9, Cleveland 1. Counsel to Give Help To Southern Senator In Campaign Atlanta UP) Edgar B. Dunlap, campaign aide of Senator Walter F. George, resigned yesterday as Georgia counsel for the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, charging in his telegram of resignation that RFC officials "demanded I cease my activities, in behalf of Senator George." Dunlap's action followed a trip to Washington where, he conferred with Claude E.

Hamilton RFC general counsel, and others. Upon his return here he received a telegram signed by Hamilton requesting his resignation. "You made no complaint of my work," Dunlap said in reply to Hamilton, "and expressly stated that if I ceased my activity for Senator George everything would be all right. "I accordingly resign to preserve my independence and integrity as a citizen of the sovereign atate of Georgia, I realize that you personally and the directors of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation are helpless in this matter." Camp Indorsed Dunlap's resignation and indorse ment of New Dealer Lawrence s. Camp by Mrs.

Virginia Polhill Price, Georgia's Democratic national committeewoman, were dominant developments of the day in the hotly-contested senatorial race in which George seeks re- nomination against three oppo nents in the Sept. 14 Democratic primary. Nomination in Georgia's primary is tantamount to election. It was a week ago that I resident Roosevelt delivered his Barnesville, speech declaring Senator George out of touch with "broad objectives of the party and the government" and indorsing Camp as "a man wno nonesuy Deiieves that many things must be done and done now. to improve the economic and social conditions of the country and is willing to fight for these objectives." Senator George, who had voted against certain key administration measures, issued a statement declaring Dunlap's action proved "the ballot of the people of Georgia cannot be controlled from Washington." Follows Policy In Washington the RFC announced "repeated requests" had beer, made of Dunlap to halt his political activities and that the resignation demand was "in line with" the corporation's policy to have employes "refrain from active participation aside from voting their conviction in political campaigns." Simultaneously.

Chairman Shep-pard of the Senate Cam-paigr Expenditures Committee said it would look into the situation. "As a general rule, however," said Sheppard, "any government agency would be justified in demanding the resignation of any federal official who became active in any other person's political campaign." William J. Hobbs of North Carolina, attached to the Washington staff, was named to succeed him. Camp, in a speech at Ocilla in South Georgia yesterday, answered opponents who have described him as a "yes" candidate of the President by declaring "if I disagree with the methods to obtain the humanitarian objectives we both seek I will introduce in the Senate what I believe to be a better plan." Court Bans 'HeiV Taught Two Boys Chicago JP) A father was ordered in Superior Court yesterday to stop teaching his two small sons Nazi doctrines and the salute, "Heil Hitler." Judge Peter H. Schwaba issued a temporary injunction against Harry Doherty and forbade him to see the children pending a full hearing on the restraining order Sept.

2. The court acted upon a motion of Mrs. Elizabeth- Doherty, who has filed a cross bill for divorce, charging infidelity. Doherty, a bell captain at a Michigan Avenue hotel, is 34 years old; his wife is 33. Into the rumors of a reconciliation was thrust the name of Premier Benito Mussolini's daughter, Countess Edda Mussolini Ciano.

Countess Ciano, whose beach cabin is next that of Countess Barbara, who has become her close friend, was said to have told Barbara that "it never pays in the lonK Yun tD with ne'S nU3 band." Those professing to see a reconciliation were largely friends of the count while most of Barbara's friends believed that nothing more than "good friendship" will result. The count's friends saw this circumstantial evidence of a pending reconciliation: 1. The couple had a long talk in the hotel bar immediately after the "Let's have it out," he said In an address over a radio network. "If the people of the United States desire to extend an invitation to a dictatorship, we should know about it just as speedily as possible. If the 'purge is going to work in Anrerica, the sooner we know it, the better.

O'Connor, placed by the Presi dent on the administration's "purge" list, said the issue was "which shall it be democracy or monocracy?" See New Innult He eaid the President had read at his press conference a New York newspaper editorial containing "a brief, but viciously untrue reference to me," and. had added, "you can interpret that as coming from me." "Nearly every man in public life has been insulted by that newspaper. But it is quite different," said O'Connor, "to be insulted by the President of the United "States. One naturally feels it very keenly and naturally is at a disadvantage to reply in kind.

"I would be derelict, however, in my duty as a representative elected by the people and as an American citizen, if I did not express myeelf as to what I believe to be the issue now definitely raised in this country. "Will the 'purge work in America?" O'Connor said that "if we are to revert to a one-man government, the people should be made conscious of the issue at once. If they submit to the change, they should do it with their eyes open." The veteran representative of Manhattan's 16th congressional district said his opposition to the esident's reorganization bill was "the one unabsolvable 'sin which has placed me high on the "purge list'." Sees 'Honor Roll "Other names are inscribed on that roll of ex-communicants," he added, "because they honestly feared there was a desire on the-part of the executive to control the court branch of our government.

"The dictator demands the 'ICQ per cent' and, of course, will last only as long as he has-it." O'Connor said "the repetitious disavowal of any desire to become a dictator cannot be taken at full faith when actions evidence the contrary." Continued on Page Two Vaudeville Team Survivor Passes New York UP) The great old vaudeville comedy team of Mcla-tyre and Heath was reunited last night in death. Thomas K. Heath, co-star in the coon buck" dance, the famous skit "The Ham Tree" and other successes of half a century, died a heart attack at his home in Set-auket, at the age of 85, just a year after the passing of his partner. Heath never knew Mclntyre was dead. Stricken with paralysis just as Mclntyre was dying in Connecticut, just across Long Island Sound, Heath lay an invalid for a year is his family kept the news from him.

The two formed their famous team more than 60 years ago in San Antonio, and trouped in minstrel shows, burlesque, vaudeville and musical comedy until 1934. His Feet Worked Fast Bakersfield, Calif.

DUNLAP quits by request ITALIAN PLANE CRASHES, 14 DIE Varese, Italy UP) All 14 persons aboard a seaplane were killed yesterday when the big twin-motored ship fell shortly after taking off here an a sight-seeing flight over thij Italian-Swiss border town.

It wa. Italy's fourth civil air disaster of the year. The p.ane, owned by the Macchi Aircraft Construction Company, was piloted by Giuseppe Purei, holder of a number of seaplane flying records. The Prefect of Varese, Mario Chiesa, and members of his family were among the victims. The accident brought to 66 the number of persons killed this year in Italy's four major civil aviation crashes.

The nation's worst air tragedy occurred July 14 when an airliner plunged into the Tyrrhenian Sea with a loss of 20 lives. Nineteen were 1-illed when a passenge- plane crashed near Formia while en route from Tirana, Albania, to Rome, Apr. 30, and 14 died in the crash of an airliner into the Mediterranean Feb. 14. Entombed Miners Saved, Unharmed Scranton, Pa.

Four miners. entombea in the Shawnee coal com pany mine, were rescued last night and rushed immediately to a hos pital. They were found suffering; only irom shock. Rescuers reached the men about five hours after they had been trapped by a runaway mine car, loaded with rock, which smashed timbers, causing the roof to collapse and block the entrance to the slope. A steam shovel was rushed to the scene to help in the excavations.

Communication was established with the men an hour before they were brought to the surface. Through a pipe driven into the debris by the rescue squads, the miners reported that all had escaped injury. 4 ASKS BAN ON JEWS Mexico City U.P The National Physicians' Confederation yesterday protested admittance of Jewish refugees to Mexico.

Lance. The count is expected to leave today or tomorrow for Budapest. pudiated a sworn statement linking.

Hines to a member of the Dutch Schultz policy syndicate. Jailing of the witness, Julius (Red) Williams, 46, followed a day of testimony in which evidence was offered that the late Magistrate Francis J. Erwin, named by District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey as having been "influenced" by the Schultz combine, dismissed 42 prisoners taken in a policy raid. Pleading that he was threatened with imprisonment by a Dewey assistant, Williams denied he actually had made a statement in which he wars quoted as saying Hines sent him to Harlem policy racket headquarters in 1932 to obtain employment from George Weinberg, Schultz henchman who has pleaded guilty to the racket indictment.

Could Not Read The witness declared under cross-examination by Defense Counsel Lloyd Paul Stryker that Sol Gelb, a Dewey assistant, dictated the statement. Williams added that he did not know what wa3 in the statement because, he said, he could not read and was ashamed to admitf illiteracy. Identifying two handwritten lines on the statement as his work, Williams asserted that Gelb also dictated those. He denied that he had known Hines before 1936, as the statement said, or that he had worked for Weinberg. "I don't know this George," he remarked once, adding that the only time he had ever seen Weinberg was the day he signed the statement in Dewey's office.

The Schultz gangster, Williams said, attempted to persuade him to make the statement against Hines. His usual smile gone grim, District Attorney Dewey took over the nervous Negro on redirect examination and confronted him with grand jury minutes in which he was quoted as saying substantially the same thing as in the signed statement. Bail Set at $10,000 Hesitating and gulping, Williams listened to Dewey's reading of his grand jury testimony and, when Dewey repeatedly asked if he had made such statement, the witness said again and again, "I did not'' or "I don't remember."
