Council Body Plans Further Discussion of Cacchione Post With four-hour, tumultuous public hearing on the subject under 'its belt, the City Councill rules committee was left to wrestle today with the probof choosing a successor to Peter Cacchione, Brooklyn Communist member, who died last November. The status of a resolution calling for, the appointment of SiGerson, chosen by the (Kings County Communist organization, remained as uncertain as ever and Walter R. Hart, Brooklyn Democrat and chairman of the committee, admitted that the question might have to be settled by, court decision.

The committee will meet in executive session in the next two weeks, Hart announced, to consider the question further. The hearing was marked by running series of clashes between Hart and Benjamin Manhattan Communist Urges Sale Area Liquor Curbs Continued from Page appeal."

AilThe was Brooklyn finally Heights permitted Associ- to appear in the 72 Clark St. matter but "in spite of heavy opposition on our part at the hearing and considerable support by the local newspaper, the Brooklyn Eagle, the application was granted. Many persons residing in and out of the area have spoken to me about the unfair provisions of the Liquor Law in not permitting us the right of Mr.

Bruchhausen argued that it is not possible for the Liquor Authority to determine the issue of "public convenience and advantage," as required by law, as long as citizens in the area have no voice in the proceedings preceding the issuance of license. He also pointed to a weakness in the present law which bars a new package store within 1.500 feet of another such store "on the same a store nearer than that but around the corner on another street, as in the case of the Clark 'St. place, is not barred. "It is obvious," Mr. Bruchhausen wrote, "that the statute should be amended to prohibit new stores, within a radius of 1,500 another store."

Stassen said he got his information from two Government employes.

Both, he said, asked him not to reveal their names without their permission. Ferguson showed Stassen a list of about 800 Government; employes reported brokers throughout the nation as being speculators. He asked if the five Stassen had in mind were named on the list. Stassen. after a quick look, said he could not find their names.

He suggested that the subcommittee get records from the E. G. Edwards Company, St. Louis. He said he could find no names as having been reported by that firm.

He did not elaborate.

S. Officials Welcome Call for European Bloc Washington, Jan. 24 (U.P.)High American officials would welcome a western European move to create a regional fense pact under the United Nade- ap-tions Inter-American like the recently-signed deefnse pact of Rio de Janeiro, it was learned today. Some of these officials would even favor the United States being a member of such a pact if tries the western European counwanted American participation. This was learned as the U.S.

Government gave an unprecedented reception to British Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin's proposal for a "western European union" to combat Sovietdominated eastern Europe. Diplomats of all key. countries here admitted that the sensational Bevin proposal was la bid for the West to formalize what has a fact for many months-division of the globe into two worlds, east and west. Movement Began Last Summer These diplomats pointed out that the first step in this direction was taken last when western Europe decided to go ahead with the Marshall Plan without Russia. The United States already has thrown the tremendous weight of its prestige behind the.

idea tossed out by Bevin that the western European countries unite politically and militarily. It would like to see a United States of Europe or of as much of Europe as possible. Realizing such a possibility is off, American officials would welcome any kind of political military pact of western Europe that would weld those nations together. 3-Power Parley in February London.

Handicapped Tots Sad as Pony Dies Twenty-one small tots who are pupils of the Cleary Oral School for the Hard of Hearing in Lake Ronkonkoma today tasted real grief as they mourned the death of Fatima, the school's 21-year-old pony. Friend, companion and patient beast of burden. Fatima had been an official part of the school's recreation program for the past ten years. She died yesterday of old age.

A gentle. brown and black pony, Fatima never minded how many of the school's' little pupils--most of them are 5 years old or less--clambered on her back for rides around the pony ring. By way of variation, she also pulled a small cart full of youngsters around the school's extensive grounds. Rosemary Cleary, director of the school. Fatima was given to the school ten years ago when the pony was 11 years old.

Bar Assn. Outlawing Reds The New York State Bar As. sociation was on record today as opposing the adoption of legislation against the Communist party as such and favoring opposition to the movement "by American methods," with punishment for violation of the laws now in effect. This was adopted at the 71st annual 1 meeting yesterday at the Association of Bar of the City of New York, 42 W. 44th Manhattan.

It followed statements by Attorney General Tom C. Clark and John O' Brian, former general counsel of the War Production Board. Clark said he was in favor of "strengthening" some laws. At the same time he emphasized that there would be no charges of disloyalty "until we have the evidence." The association, after some discussion on the floor, rejected a recommendation that State legislation be enacted in harmony with the Taft-Hartley labor law. It favored, by a narrow margin, the European recovery program espoused by Secretary of State Marshall.

The meeting will continue today and close tonight with a dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria. Visit to Well Fatal South Berwick. Me. (U.P.) Seized with a heart attack as he was about to draw up a bucket of water. 75-year-old J.

Jury Clears Cops In Bookie Probe Police today had been cleared of graft charges in connection with gambling, the whitewash having been administered by the holdover June grand jury of Queens County. In its final presentment handup yesterday the jury, after an exhaustive inquiry into corruption charges made by Emetia Polizio, better known as Joe Pledge, a bookmaker, stated they were "wholly unsub-1 stantiated in every respect." "No evidence of corruption or graft in any form has been found," the jury reported. Meanwhile, Investigations Commissioner Murtagh insisted every big bookmaker has been driven out of the city and only street corner and sidewalk bookies remain. This situation, he said, was the result of an intensive war against bookmaking put into effect by the Investigations and Police Departments.
