This decline in trade is indicated by a Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce survey. The chamber will seek to obtain amendments to exempt manufacturers and building contractors and make the tax a strictly over-the-counter one. One Big Loss Cited L. L. Balleisen, secretary of the chamber's Industrial department, said the loss is probably between II i I $2,000,000 and $3,000,000.

In a single Kaaif tiin.au, Ciullol Hulldlnr, Albany, Feb, 5 A cold, flat "nothing doing" was the Democratic answer today to Republican legislative leaders' demand for public hearings on Governor Lehman's tax plans and budget for 1936. Confident that their majorities in both houses will be able to push through the Governor's $55,000,000 batch of new taxes and his budget without serious difficulty, the Democratic bosses have decided to ride out the storm of Q. O. P. criticism, according to the best authority, But the Senate Finance Committee, whose chairman, Jeremiah F.

Twomey of Greenpolnt, held a hearing on the 1934 budget in February, 1933. In response to a general clamor, was to meet today to go into the tax protests more thoroughly. Word of the Democrats' unofficial turndown of the hearing request was received by Senate Minority Leader Fearon with a blast of temper. G. O.

Leader Angered they want to take that responsibility, ft's up to them," he raged. "They have all the power and there is nothing we can do about it." The Republican attack on the Governor's fiscal program for 1936 was led by former State Senator Sports Center For Randall's Island Planned J50 Acres to Be Play-land With Road Links to Triboro Bridge The Park Department today announced its plan for development of Randalls Island, Including razing of hospital buildings, removal of patients to other institutions, demolition of obsolete structures and utilization of the 150 acres for recreation purposes. The project calls for a ramp from the Trlborough Bridge to the island at the meeting point of the three arms of the bridge to provide a vehicular artery to the boroughs of Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx. Plan Second Road Another vehicular road will be provided from the ramp around the south shore of the island, where a low level bridge to be built to connect Randalls Island with Wards Island to the south.

Seek Compromise To Speed Relief Washington, Feb. 5 tP) A prediction that the increased powers sought by the Administration in its 4,880,000.000 work relief bill would be modified came today from the Democratic side of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Some members of the committee, told that person on relief will be without funds next Monday unless the bill is passed, were reported to be seeking a compromise with the White House. The extent of the for modification remained doubt. One member of the committee predicted that two provisions conferring powers on the President will be eliminated.

Chairman Glass said only that changes of some sort were certain. I (jj Eaule Staff Pholo Dr. Milton J.

Meanwhile, an American Federation of Labor onslaught on the recovery leadership of Donald Rich-berg produced a tension that the capital had not encountered since before the President's plea for an "industrial truce" last Fall. Chairman Connery (D Mass.) sprang to the support of the union leaders' drive by projecting an investigation by his House Labor Committee next week of "Why NRA xodes aren't being enforced" with respect to workers.

Asserting that minimum wage scales in some industries had forced nrnhahiv would be renewed in substantially its present form were seen last night after the President had conferred with aides Richberg said afterward that the conferees were In "general agreement." This was interpreted widely as meaning that no drastic revision of the Recovery Act was contemplated at present. Richberg indicated the President intended to send recommendations to Congress this week. American Federation of Labor leaders, bitter at what they call the "imposition" of the automobile code through its renewal by the Administration on Feb. 1, prepared to institute tonight a nationwide campaign to organize workers in the automotive industry into an international industrial union.

National Prrna Buildlni Washington, 5 Postmaster General Farley will continue as chairman of the Democratic Na-! tional Committee throughout the 1H36 Presidential campaign, it wasi indicated today, despite widespread ment officeholder and highly-placed criticism of his dual role of Govern-1 political leader. Mr.

Farley's resignation from the national chairmanship has been predicted and proposed frequently. The oldest member of the House of the 1935 Oklahoma Legislature Is Henry Clay King, 74, and the oldest member of the Senate, former Gov. Henry S. Johnston, 69. i i Seabury C.

Mastick of Westchester, who Is chairman of the State Commission for the Revision of Tax Laws, and Assemblyman Arthur L. Swartz of Erie County. Mastick proposed a revenue program aimed to yield between and $211,000,000 a year, with a 2 percent retail sales tax, the product of which was estimated at from $54,000,000 to $100,000,000 as its banner Item. Swartz assailed the Governor's "account juggling" in his moving ahead of tax payment dates, accused Lehman of excessive optimism in his estimates of revenues from the proposed taxes and declared that the State would have a deficit of $102,526,823 by June 30. 1935, rather than the Governor's estimate of about $85,000,000 without the imposition of new taxes before that date.

Deficit Increased $17,000,000 With the new penny tax on gasoline scheduled to go into effect April 1, and adjustments in cash made as recommended, this would make the deficit $92,000,000 net by June 30, Swartz said, instead of the $75,000,000 estimated by the Governor. These predictions, he declared, are based on the Governor's excessive estimates of returns from new taxation in the past. He predicted that the 1936 tax program In its entirety would fall $55,000,000 behind the Governor expectations. Mastick estimated that the current year's deficit would approximate $99,000,000. Some of his other tax proposals include a filing fee of $2 on all personal income taxes above $750, to yield a tax on unincorporated business, to raise an Increased tax on insurance premiums, higher motor truck and bus fees, increased taxes on inheritances less than $1,000,000 to raise $17,000,000, and various luxury taxes, to yield $28,000,000.

Park Dept. Drops 60 From Its Staff The Park Department has been forced to drop 60 of its regular engineering and technical staff employes because of the Board of Estimate's failure to appropriate funds for their salaries. About 300 engineers and architects have been added, meanwhile, td the department's relief staff and 350 more will be taken on later. The men laid off, all of whom had been on the city payroll for more than six years with salaries from $1,800 to $2,800 a year, have a chance to catch on as relief engineers and architects with pay ranging from $25 to $40 a week.

Woman Murdered, Is Doctor's Theory Special to The Eagle Southampton, Feb.

5 That Miss Ray Jorgensen, 30-year-old housekeeper at the J. L. Breese Summer estate on Hill may have been murdered was the theory suggested by Dr. Thomas C. Lippman in his testimony before Coroner Morley B.

Lewis yesterday. Dr. Lippman stated that he did not believe the woman who had been found dead with her thrat slashed Friday afternoon at the Breese home had inflicted the wound herself. Mrs. Harriet Brandt, an aunt of the dead woman, testified that Miss Jorgensen had been morose and melancholy since the death of James L.

Breese, her former employer who died Dec. 23. Coroner Lewis reserved decision after indicating that he did not place much credence In a murder theory.

Also bills to permit a defendant to waive a Jury trial in all criminal cases except where the death penalty Is involved and to cut the number of peremptory challenges in selecting a Jury from 30 to 20 in capital offense cases and from 20 to ten where the penalty involved is more than ten years.

Cat-Eye Annie Plans Fight on Extradition Auburn, N. Feo. 5 OP) Lillian McDowell, known as Cat-Eye Annie, will fight extradition to Maryland, where she faces charges in connection with a jew-', robbery in Baltimore In 1923. This became knbwn when Sheriff Wlllard Wilcos of Cayuga County, who has Cat-Eye Annie in custody at his jail, notified the Maryland authorities that he is waiting word to their action to obtain custody of the woman. the Brooklyn Industrial Home for the Blind, at a dinner in the Hotel Bossert.

"Sure, blindness is a handicap," he said. "But I like to bet on a handicapped horse. He knows he has to run." The Institution at 520 Gates Ave. is handicapped too, speakers pointed out. It too must run.

Failure of the 10-day drive would curtail Its activities, might close its doors. Hard to Teach No sentimentalist, Senator Gore boasted no compensations for his blindness. "It's like a colored boy who walked through a graveyard reading epitaphs and found one Not dead but He said. 'You're not kidding anyone but "Certainly it is hard to teach the blind to do things; it is harder to teach the sighted that they can do things. It would be well if all charity were like that, with no evil byproducts, merely helping the help-! less to help themselves.

"Unemployment is a national tragedy, but it is not our worst. Far i more injurious is the misfortune of an idleness that has become volun-1 tary and spoils the soul. That has not touched our sightless people: there is work to be done and they I can do it. They are asking only lor the chance." John Curtln, chairman of the campaign committee, pointed out i that the blind, making brooms, i mops, brushes, flower boxes, must compete against the sighted in an open market. "They must sell at a loss, but they keep busy.

They have not advertised their condition with their product. They want no sympathy, just an even break." Reads Braille Speech When Peter J. Salmon, business manager of the home, was called he fingered his speech as he read It in Braille. Not sight, but work is God's greatest gift, said he, as he asked Brooklyn to respond to the need of his 836 charges. "It is hard to teach a man how to be blind.

Imagine such everyday events as your shave, your walk, your reading. The newly blind man, in the first shock of his tragedy, must not lose his spirit," Salmon said. Governor Lehman, Bishop Thouias E. Molloy and the Rev. Dr.

S. Parkes Cadman sent telegrams of good wishes which emphasized the universality of the appeal. The institution was opened In 1893 by Eben P. Morford, a blind man, who financed the establishment Willi social events, later maintained it by its industry. Instruction, meals and maintenance cost the home $70,294 lust year.

Its income from products, contributions and reserves reached $45,000. The present drive hopes to balance. Other speakers Introduced by Toastmaster Curtln were Miss Julia K. Jaffray, welfare chairman of the Federation of Women's Clubs, and Former U. Senator William M.

"Jury service is an honor to be conferred, not a burden to be avoided. Thus we expect all citizens to respond to this call to duty in order that justice may be effective and its administration be improved in our State."
