Church, on Egan to launch a campaign for fire protection. The meeting was called by Mons. Thomas A. Nummey, pastor, after two boys of bis parish perished In a fire Sunday morning. Trapped in the attic of the Con- my home at 99-06 158th by a blaze of unknown origin, John Con- my, 12, and John Duane, 14, a cousin, died before fire apparatus arrived from the nearest station, 2 miles from the scene of the tragedy.

Action Committee Named After administering the last rites over the charred bodies of the boys, Mons. Nummey went directly to the church and issued calls from the pulpit at mass for the meeting. A resolution appointing Mons. Nummey chairman of an action committee was unanimously approved. Jeremiah O'Mahoney was named vice chairman.

Why havent you (taxpayers) re- reived, what you have paid for?" the clergyman asked the assembly. Ill answer it myself; 111 tell you why. Because you haven't united in placing your demands. That is why we are here tonight to make a mass demand. 'Do not mistake me, though.

I make no accusation against the Fire Department in the handling of the Conmy tragedy. They answered the alarm as promptly as they could. But the nearest fire house Is too far distant for the adequate protection of this area. Traffic Perils Pointed Out Moreover, the dangerous, heavt- iy trafficked Sunrise Highway the fire engines have to cross to enter our district, is another obstacle. The traffic lights are not observed and the highway is a speeder's holiday.

Until we have a fire house south of the Sunrise Highway, the Howard Beach area will be perilously unprotected." According to Mons. Nummy. a fire official claimed previous to the meeting that under present conditions, the district In dispute is protected as well as is possible. rne action committee consists of E. A.

Diamont and Edward Hodnett from Howard Beach; Dennis Harri-gan and Bert Trout, East Hamilton; Thomas Holmes and Edwin Donnelly, West Hamilton; Daniel J. 0Nell and John Maher, South Aqueduct; James Conway and John Malone, RamMersville, and Jacob Norson and Joseph Mulverne.

Harvey Is Enthusiastic Mr. Harvey, it was declared today, had as far back as 1927 proposed a world's fair for New York City, with the exhibition grounds in Queens. He was enthusiastic in his praise of the project in discussing It with prominent residents of the borough and urges its support. He said: "It affords me much satisfaction to know that Queens is to get this splendid project. I urged the Board of Estimate as far back as 1937 to hold a similar world's fair in Queens.

The benefits to be derived by the borough in housing such a gigantic enterprise are too numerous to mention, but I am certain of one thing Queens will at least get some of the improvements so long withheld. "I feel confident that attention directed the borough by the fair will bring about early completion of the Queens Mid-Town Tunnel, the proposed Whitestone-Bronx Bridge, extension of our subways systems, new highways and other necessities long sought by our borough. "I am now compiling a list of outstanding public officials, civic and fraternal leaders to act as a committee to be known as the Queens World's Fair Committee, to represent Queens Interests and to cooperate with city and national committees In fostering the plan. I hope to be able to make public the names of my committee on Wednesday." Urges Public Support "This is the most marvelous thing that has happened to Queens, and I am wholeheartedly in favor of it," declared Jabes Dunnlngham of the Queens Council of Civic Associations. "I trust that above all the finances necessary for so huge a project will be forthcoming and that the citizens of Queens and the rest of the city will show the proper spirit and every effort to bring about the success of the enterprise.

"Anything which will enhance the growth of Queens such as this Is worthy of the fullest support, and I am for it. This exposition will give visitors from all parts of the world an idea of what our great city is like." Men's Church Club Federation to Meet The Federation of Men's Clubs of the Protestant Churches of Queens will hold their first Fall meeting Thursday night in Bethany Evangelical Church, Richmond Hill. Frank Stromberg of Woodhaven Is president of the group of 30 clubs. All churches having men's clubs, or contemplating one, are invited to send two delegates to the meeting. Wants Money!

COSTEIXO The dove of peace Is hovering over the sadly-torn battlefield of the Democratic party In Queens, but has not aligted as yet with the sadly needed flag of truce. Today there is the paradox of the Indorsement of the victorious Sheridan ticket in its entirety by the followers of the Triumvirs, Edward W.

Cox, Peter J. McOarry and John Donovan, but as yet without an indorsement of County Executive Chairman James C. Sheridan as leader. Also there is today the paradox of 34 men and women executives, followers of the Triumvirate, without the Triumvir leadership because last night at the meeting of the group In the headquarters at 60-14 Roosevelt Cox and McOarry resigned as members of the Triumvirate. Donovan, the third member, was not present at the meeting, as he has been 111 for several days.

It is presumed that when Mr. Donovan is heard frbom he will have resigned too. Hinges on Sheridan Attitude And Friday night will tell whether 'the olive brasch will wave over Woodstde headquarters In defiance of united Republican opposition or whether the flags of discord will again wave from two separate Democratic headquarters. It all depends on Sheridan's attitude toward Mrs. Dorothea C.

Courten. vice chairman of the executive committee and leader of the Democratic women of Queens. Mrs. Courten's resignation as vice chairman was today in the hands of Sheriff McOarry, secretary of the executive committee. Her letter, In which she said she was disgusted with the present conduct of affairs of the organization, was read at last night's meeting of the triumvirs.

Ask She Continue The factional leaders passed a resolution expressing confidence in Mrs. Courten's leadership and asked her to continue as vice chairman. Mrs. Courten said today that she did not know whether she would insist on her resignation being accepted Friday night when the entire county executive committee meets. Last night It was voted by the 34 executives present that they will fight for the retention of Mrs.

Courten and unless this assurance is given them by Mr. Sheridan they will not consider his reinstatement as leader. His bid for reinstatement is expected on Friday night. "It was understood at the meeting last night that Sheridan had declared there would be no reprisals at a meeting durln? the day between him and Cox, McOarry and Blake (William M. Blake, vice chairman of the executive committee), and so we are determined that there will be no reprisal against -Mrs.

Courten," declared a spokesman for the 34 today. Compromise Is Keynote Compromise will be the keynote of the meeting at Sheridan's headquarters Friday night when all of the 68 executives are expected to be present. Sheridan today declared emphatically that he is not Interested in a Congressional berth -nd that he is only Interested right now in welding together a strong Democratic front to combat the Republicans under Warren B. Ashmead In the Fall. This added weight to the report that William J.

Goodwin of Laurelton was being discussed today as a likely candidate for the Congressional post. An old warhorse In Democratic battles suggested a solution today to the whole struggle. "Sheridan's wisest move to regain the leadership and his best chance to retain It would be to agree to Mrs. Courten as leader of the women and as vice chairman and designate a member of the opposition group as a candidate for Congress to succeed Representative William F. Brunner and he will be certain of the wholehearted support of the Business Women Statistics prove that 4 out of 5 Business Women have Strings Accounts.

Russell, vice president and executive director of the chamber, today. Location Held Ideal' "The proposed location is ideal, as it Is adjacent to rapid transit and important highways of Queens and Brooklyn, particularly Grand Central Parkway Extension and the new Triborough Bridge highway," Mr. Russell declared. "While the area Is city park land it Is only recently acquired and has not yet been de veloped for park purposes. There can be no sound objection to its temporary use for this great project.

'With the completion of the 38th St. tunnel, which, by special effort, could be opened in time for the fair, the proposed site would be brought within a few minutes by auto of the mkltown section of Manhattan. 'It is gratifying to note that Rob ert. W. Higbie, former president of the chamber, was among those par ticipating in the preliminary conferences.

The chamber will co-operate to the fullest extent with the members of the committee in carry ing out the plans for the fair." 'Greatest Thing' for Queens Practically the same sentiments were also expressed today by Max Bynyan, secretary of the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce. "This is the greatest thing that has happened to Queens and the members of the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce will co-operate to the fullest extent in putting this fair across," Mr. Bynyan said. "It will mean the end of the depression for the borough even before the fair starts and will show the world that this borough Is the greatest and fastest growing borough of the Greater City." Borough President Harvey announced the formation of a Queens World's Fair Committee to co-operate with the city and national committees in formulating plans for the proposed $45,000,0000 exposition to be held in 1939. Public officials, leading civic workers and businessmen as well as fra- Triumvirate forces," the old-timer said.

"If he made this wove and stuck by his assurance of no reprisals, not alone would he regain the leadership of the Democratic party in Queens but he would be able to keep it for a long time. Regarding the Republican plan to make this Fall campaign a "test of the New Deal," Sheridan said that when the time comes to combat the nationally known speakers promised for the campaign by the G. O. P. he wil1 be ready to give them big gun for big pun.
