MARCH 9, 1962 2 PJldnire eizei in all iuloIlStB'5 1 17 led By ALFRED M1ELE and CHARLES WALLING The Board of Estimate yesterday wrote another chapter in the tale of vanishing open air push cart markets, which once flourished through Brooklyn, by approving Markets Commissioner Albert Pacetta's plan to shutter establishments in Brownsville and Ocean Hill next week. Pacetta will close the Brownsville market, located on Blake leaftisig ifitlie pa Two Profaci mobsters were routed out of their beds at 4 A.

Those seized, after an intensive two-month investigation by District Attorney Frank Hogan's office, were Nicholas (Jiges) Forlano, 47. of 33-42 28th Astoria, Queens, self-described salesman who is better known as a loan shark, and Dominick (Donnie Shack) Montemarano, 23, of 2SJ 20th Brooklyn, who purports to be a laborer.

Hearing Tuesday In Felony Court, Magistrate Louis Wallach set hearing for Tuesday, fixed bond for Montemarano at $1,000 and held Forlano without bail because of his poliee record. Denial of bail highly outraged Jiggs' attorney, Abraham Brod-sky, and he promptly, went to a higher court. Before General Sessions Judge Charles Marks, Brodsky said 81,000 would be a fair figure. Assistant District Attorney Paul D. Kelly had other views.

The brutality of the assault on Slater, who was punched, kicked, bitten and stabbed, was matched only by the boldness of the assailants, who staged the attack before more than 109 witnesses, Kelly said. Mob Warfare He said the attack marked "open outbreak of warfare" between rival mobs and it was up to the state to put an end to it. He asked for $75,000 bail. Open air push cart markets once common throughout the city have been reduced in number to a few. One of the next to go is the Ocean Hill market (shown in foto), located on I'rospect Place between Howard and Saratoga Aves.

Nickerson for 11 A.M. tomorrow in the auditorium at Nassau police headquarters, Franklin Garden City. The need, for action in establishing a new formula for apportioning seats in the State Legislature, with special reference to eliminating the present discrimination against' Nassau County citizens, will highlight the meeting.

Nickerson will preside. "Our efforts have been directed toward making this forum as informative and as possible," he said. "The persons who will lead the discussion are recognized experts in the field. They have offered their services in the hope that more of our citizens will become aware of the need for action at this session toward bringing the present abuses to an end." Bawled Out The youth left but returned five minutes later. He asked the teacher to erase the word after his name but Goldstein refused and again ordered him to leave.

The boy, accompanied by his father Isaac, returned to the school shortly before 5 P.M. He was arrested and taken to the Miller Ave. Station. There, he was given a summons for disorderly conduct and allowed to go home. The boy'3 father showed the court a letter from the college in which it was suggested Allan to any high school library to obtain the college catalog which gives more detailed information about the university.

Pacetta told the board that it' cost the city $5,000 last year to maintain the two markets, while receipts were a mere $4,140. Only three of the 40 stalls are occupied in the Blake Ave. market, and only five of the 70 available at Ocean Hill, he said. Plans for Occupants The eight occupants, Pacetta pointed out, will be offered a choice of licenses as itinerant peddlers, or space in other pushcart or enclosed markets. With the closing of the two, he said, three pushcart markets, will remain in the borough, located on Belmont Brownsville, Blake Ave.

The Pentagon is replacing that model with F-llOs. for paving streets in the Bergen Beach area of Brooklyn by approving four contracts totalling $379,500.
