Cart-wright, an expert in budpet making, has ruled against any spec.al funds for the purpose, it was learned, taking the view such n.at-ters should take care of themselves during the course of the year. Cartwright will find room, now-ever, sources hinted, for added funds for the Law Department to pursue the city's program of foreclosure of property on which taxes are hopelessly delinquent, and to meet the unusually large number of certiorari proceedings over assessment that the city facet. The size of those funds will be established after Cartwright confers wtih Corporation Counsel William H. Emerson during the next two weeks. He said yesterday, after he closed a meeting with Comptroller Raymond V.

Ellis, that he will talk over budget requirements with all department heads before his recom mendations are given to City Council Tuesday, Oct 15. The city manager will ask Council to adjourn uniil noon of that date after its meeting a week from tonight. That date is the last one on which the manager can submit his estimates. Council then has 30 days within which to adopt the budget. A hard cold which confined the manager to his home last week somewhat delayed budget drafting Cartwright said yesterday, on his return to his office, that all other city business will be put aside, as far as possible, to give budget mak ing a clear road.

He declined to advance any predictions on the outcome of the survey he is making preliminary to presenting the budget. It was generally believed that the tax rate would remain within a few cents of the $31.41 figure established last year. Rotary Waits Talk On Diamond Mining Wolcott Laurence S. Greene, Rochester, will speak on "The Romance of Diamonds" at the luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club at 12:05 p. m.

tomorrow in Met-calf's Tavern. He will show motion pictures on diamond mining in connection with his address. POLICEMAN'S WIFE DIES Mrs. Coletta Wahl McFarlin, wife of Policeman Harry B. McFarlin, died yesterday (Sept.

30, 1940). She leaves, besides her husband, a son, Harry J. McFarlin three brothers, Fred, Joseph and William Wahl, and a sister, Mrs. Herbert Hart. Funeral services will be held at 474 Lyell Ave.

S. District Court to theft tif the rare hook.

Charged with Interstate transportation of a stolen book, the quartet heard Federal Judge llar-eld P. Burke defer sentence to next fuenday to enable him to examine probation report on the men and rher-k the record of one of the defendants who, it was claimed, has a Job vital to national defense. He Is William Kwlatkowaki, 22, Buffalo, said to have master-mlni-ed the plot to take the folio fru.n Chspln Library at Williams College, Williamstown, last Feb. 8. Defense 'Servant' It is Kwiatkowskl, his attorney, Samuel Fleischman, said In court, -ho is "brilliant, and his services necessary to national defense." Hcischman said that depsite his client's lack of formal education he had been employed as a draftsman and deaicner by the Bell Aircraft Company at Buffalo.

At Buffalo, however, according to the United Press, company offi cials said that no one of that name had been employed, but that It was possible an assumed nam 3 had been used. The other defendants are Donald Lynch, 36, Hudson Falls shoe clerk, according to federal Investigators, who effected the actual theft; Ei-ward Kwiatkowskl, 20, brother of Williams, and Joseph Biernot. 42 convicted bootlegger and brother-in-law of the Kwiatkowskis, both Of Buffalo. Disguise Described The folio was recovered last month in Buffalo and turned over to Assistant U. S.

Attorney Robert M. Hitchcock, prosecutor, who did not name the intermediary. Insurance totaling between 22,000 and $23,000 had been paid the library. According to Hitchcock, Lynch, disguised himself as a college professor by graying his hair with flour and wearing dark-rimmed oxford glasses, took the book and left a dummy volume in its place. He obtained access to the folio, the attorney said, by means of a forged letter from the president of Middlebury College to the head of College.

Miss Lucy Osborne, library custodian, permitted Lynch to use the library for "research" work after he had presented the forged letter. Fromlsed Fee Unpaid The plot, Hitchcock said, was formulated in Buffalo by the three Windy City men who contacted Lynch in Albany, hired him to pose as the professor and then drove vhim to the college. Lynch, who was arrested June 30 in Albany, said he had received only $200 of his promised $10,000 fee. He implicated the others. A convicted plagiarist, William Kwiatkowski also served a year and a day for stealing valuable books from Grosvenor Library, Buffalo.

Three years ago he was convicted of selling a story, already published once, to a publishing firm. Continuance of $10,000 bail each was ordered by Judge Burke for tne Bunaionians, and Lynch was remanded to custody of federal authorities.

Gruppe Well Known for Work Here Charles Paul Gruppe, Rochester's foremost landscape and portrait painter, died yesterday (Sept. 30, 1940) at his summer home in Kockport, Mass.

He celebrated his 80th birthday Sept. 3. The renowned artist became ill about Aug. 1 while he was i Rochester painting a landscape of an East Avenue home for a friend. He left CHAHI.KS P.

(iKlli'E the city Aug. 2, stayed in Utica with a nephew ror a few days, and then was taken to Rockport by his daughter, Virginia Gruppe. The nainter and his works are well known to Rochesterians. He had several one-man shows here and his landscape, "Pasture is in the permanent collection of the Memorial Art Gallery. Born in Picton, Gruppe at 3 came to Rochester on the death of his father.

He entered School 13 and stayed there until he was 13. He was painting before he left school and continued to paint while working at odd jobs until he married at 29, and with his bride, Helen Mitchell, he packed his brushes and moved to Holland where he lived for 20 years. Self-Taught Artist All his art training had come from the trial and error method. "Never went to school," he used to say, "art school, that is." He built a studio at Katwyk on the Zee, adjoining the homes of Joseph Israels, Albert Neyhuyse and other Dutch masters. "When I was in Holland," he once related, 'i used to paint something and take it over to Israels, and he'd look at it and say, 'Hmn Better get into it' Then I'd know I hadn't spent enough time on it and would run back home and paint it over." When he was elected (to the exclusion of 15 Dutch painters) to the Pulchre Studio Art Club at The Hague, his first exhibited painting, a water color of a canal at Voor-burg, Holland, was purchased by Queen Wilhelmina; his second by Queen Emma.

Honored Many Times After that, as he himself said, he "was on the map." A listof his medals would run into a column, medals from Rouen, the Philadelphia Art Society, the Exhibition Paris ev Province. His works make up items in the permanent collections of the Library at Rouen, Furstin von Carolath, Berlin; National Art Gallery, New York; Butler Museum, Youngs-town, Ohio; St. Louis Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Detroit Museum, National Museum, Washington; the National Gallery, Canada, and other Canadian and Americao museums and galleries. At 12 he was -one of the founders of the Rochester Art Club In 1872, the third oldest art club in the United States. Later he became a member of the Pulchre Studio, the American Water Color Society, New York Color Club, the National Art Club, the Art Club of Philadelphia and the Salmagundi Club of New York.

Unlike some artists who had their beginnings here, Gruppa never lost interest in the city and its surroundings. His daughter, also an artist and expert with water colors, made her home here for a few years recently. Untiring Worker Despite advancing years. Mr. Gruppe gave the lie to the maxim that painters decline after the proverbial three score and 10.

In 1936 he had an exhibit here, the canvasses as strong and vigorous in color and handling as any painted in his 50's, critics declared. Two years later on a visit here, he asserted that "I never expect to reach my peak." Modernistic and surrealisic paintings were anathema to him. Most of his time in recent years was spent between his large studio in Carnegie Hall in New York and his home at Rockport. He would arrive at the studio at 8:30 every morning, working until 6. He was a great movie fan, attending theaters nearly every night.

During his 20 years before the war that the Gruppes were in Holland, his wife, a Lakeville, N. girl, returned to Rochester for the birth of their three sons, Emil. an artist; Taul, a cellist who appeared at the Eastman Theater recently. and Carl, a sculptor who did the famous Hendrik Hudson monument In New York. The daughter was born at Katwyk.

Besides his immediate family, he leaves two sisters, Mrs. J. Nell and Miss Clara A. Gruppe, both of Rochester. Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p.

Association members were told by Commerce Commissioner Harold S. W.

MacFarlin that "what has been done is only a small part of the job of rehabilitating and rebuilding the downtown west side." The building, the commissioner said, will have a large neon sign, "Civic Exhibit Building," on the Main Street side and a row of neon lights on the east and west sides. Convinced "that Rochester cannot continue to exist as a one-corner city," MacFarlin pictured a Main Street with "two bright corners," and claimed that "eventually the addition of new buildings to the downtown section will result in in- AREA DENTISTS HOLD MEETING Corning Fifty Rochester dent ists, including four officers, were in attendance at the 72d semi-an- nual meeting of the 7th District Dental Society, conducted here yesterday.
