Harman, who was general manager of the Brooklyn Times, said in a statement today: "I am very much grieved to learn of John Gets death which comes as a shock to his many friends, not only in journalism, but also in public life. Mr. Geis was a true friend and a fine newspaper man who en-Joyed the confidence of prominent men in public life from Presidents to Mayors and political leaders. He never betrayed a confidence and he was always faithful to his employer." Newbold Morris, president of the city council, said: I am deeply distressed to hear of the death of John Geis.

He was a real guide, philosopher and friend. sought his advice generally on nearly every major problem affect ing tne borough of Brooklyn. Kis unfailing and tolerant good humor. his honest love of truth were in the best American tradition. He will be greatly missed at City Hall." Councilman Wllilam M.

McCarthy of Brooklyn said: I was greatly shocked this morn ing to hear of the death of John Geis. I knew him for many years around City Hall. He was a noble character and a fine gentleman." INGERSOLL MOURNS LOSS Borough President Ingersoll, in a letter to Mrs. Geis, said: I am unable to express my deep sorrow over John's death because he leaves a place in the ranks of City Hall's 'Gentlemen of the Press' which I do not believe will ever be filled. In five years of intimate as sociation with him I came to have great respect for his judgment and for his fairness In the treatment of the news.

At the same time I ad mired him for his diligence and his effective coverage of his very important "The officials whose acts he recorded so faithfully, the newspaper fraternity in general and the Brooklyn Eagle have suffered a great loss." MRS. EARLE SHOCKED Councilman Genevieve B. Earle of Brooklyn said "I was greatly grieved and shocked by Mr. Geis' death. I knew him very well, particularly during the last year and a half in the City Council.

I had great respect and affection for him, and regarded him as one of the best newspapermen I ever knew. I wish to express my great sympathy to his family and to the Brooklyn Eagle."

Despite the ending of the strike the boycott "will not be called off until full union crews are back on the ships under contract."

June 13 The complete segregation of traffic offenders from criminal cases was urged by Commissioner Harold E. Mealey of the State Motor Vehicle Bureau in an address here today at the convention of the New York State Association of Magistrates at the Lido Golf Club.

In a list of suggestions offered to the jurists during his discussion of problems of traffic law enforcement at the second day of the meeting. ComnKssioner Mealey also urged that the magistrates aim for certainty rather than severity In dealing with traffic violators, Other policies proposed by the motor official were: Lf the possible loss of license and registration for conviction. Total elimination of "ticket fixing" ith ramificati0ns and abso- lute impartiality In dealing with vio lators. Discontinuance of the acceptance of lesser pleas then those charged by traffic officers. Safety education in the courts.

Better relations between magistrates and police. Closer co-operation with the Mo- tor vehicle Bureau. In Attack on Girl Although the evidence against him was declared to fully Justify his conviction, the Brooklyn Appellate Division today gave Paul Vario, 23, of 968 Hemlock St, a new trial because Assistant District Attorney J. Irwin Shapiro, who prosecuted him in Queens County Court, failed to make an opening speech to the jury and made what the court de srribed as an "inflammatorv sum- mation. Vario was found guilty of being one of several men who at tacked a girl and Judge Colden sen tenced him to 10 to 20 years in Sing Sing.

When the victim of the attack was called to the witness stand she hesitated in her identification of Vario, causing the trial to be postponed. She said she and her family had been threatened with death, but after she was assured of protection the trial was resumed and she testified against Vario. The Appellate Division declared that in his summation Shapiro made the alleged intimidation of witnesses the chief issue instead of the attack and that he prejudiced the defendant's rights by calling attention to the fact that he did not take the witness stand.
