But the chill winds of the forecast should keep the strollers moving pretty rapidly to keep warm. The weather didn't pick on Brooklyn and Manhattan's 5th Ave. alone, however, cold and windy was in the forecasts for the entire northern half of the country from the Rockies east.

BR Rome, April 8 (U.P) -Pope Pius XII gave his blessing to 40,000 cheering pilgrims in the huge Basilica of St. Peter's today as Year Easter rejoicing swept toward its climax. The Pope spoke to the pilgrims in six languages English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Portuguese. The crowd which jammed St. Peter's was only part of a multitude of 100,000 Italian and foreign pilgrims pouring into Rome from every direction during the day.

Hotels and boarding houses were already jammed to overflowing, and Vatican authorities said buses would be parked near the city's major basilicas tonight, to house pilgrims, who find no shelter, The Pope's greetings to the pilgrims came soon after the 000 church bells of the Holy City -silent since Thursday morning -pealed out in unison to signal the beginning of the Easter observance.

The family had been away since March 22, touring in the West. Ulrich explained that he had given a key to Mrs. Herman Kahn of 209 Rugby Road, who entered the house periodically to check up. Lights were left on in some rooms at night, he said. It was the lights that led to discovery of the vandalism Thursday night.

HARRIS Mayor 0'Dwyer gave the Brooklyn Democratic organization the political hotfoot again yesterday when he persuaded Governor Dewey to kill a bill that would have boosted the salary of Public Administrator Hyman Wank from $7,250 to $10,000 annually. While vetoing the Brooklyn bill. the Governor, again at 10'Dwyer's request, signed into law a similar measure that will increase the 'pay of the Manhattan Public Administrator, Francis J. Mulligan, a Tammanyite- from $10,000 to $15,000 a vear.

On the Tammany bill, the Mayor wrote Dewey that the New York County tor's salary has Administra: same level since 1898, while the Surrogate's pay has been increased from $15,000 to $28,000. 0'Dwyer added that during that time "costs and salaries have generally increased greatly." Cites Technicalities However, in opposing the Brooklyn measure, the Mayor failed to point out that an almost parallel situation exists in Brooklyn insofar as costs and salaries are concerned. Instead, 0'Dwyer cited several legal, technicalities that enactment of the Wank bill without the consent of the city "would violate the fundamental principles of home rule." The torpedoed Brooklyn bill. in addition to raising Wank's salary, would have set. a minimum for his deputy, Ethel Pastre, at $5,000.

The latter now receives $4,900. Spokesmen at City Hall explained that the Manhattan Public Administrator's pay could only be increased by the Continued on Page 3 Dewey Vetoes Daily Pledges Of Allegiance Albany, April 8 (U.P.)-A bill requiring a daily plege of allegiance to the flag all students in New State from, public schools was vetoed today by Governor Dewey. "Patriotism is aroused in the voluntary devotion of its citizens and not in their being compelled by law to respect for its institutions by daily rituals," he said. The measure was opposed by the State Education Department, the State School Boards Association, the Congress of Parents and Teachers and the Citizens Union. Also disapproved was a bill to include attendance officers in the regular teachers' salary schedule.

The measure's effect in New York City would be to increase the annual salary range of for officers to the $5,125 teachers' schedule. The bill was opposed by Mayor O'Dwyer. Dewey also authorized payment of an additional $200,000 in State aid to school districts where new housing projects have caused a bulge in school enrollments. Eagle Staff photo CONFIDENCE MAN EXTRAORDINARY Joseph W. (Mickey) Tobin, alias George Ryan, Joe Ryan and George Kane, is shown (center) as he left Brooklyn Felony Court yesterday.

JAILED AS CON MAN IN $15,000 FRAUDS Despite smooth talk and ant ingratiating, friendly manner, Joseph W. (Mickey) Tobin, 46,1 of 6211 8th was behind bars last night, held without bail for a Felony Court hearing Wednesday on a charge of swindling credulous victims out of at least $15,000. Tobin's favorite confidence scheme, according to police, was to "sell" a favored tavern owner a half share in a vending machine that was just about certain to make its owners a small fortune. The price ranged, depending on how much the buyer had and could be persuaded to vest," police said, from $2,500 down to $25-and once it was paid, the "seller" disappeared. He also, it was charged, wrote fraudulent checks, making himself scarce after cashing them.

Police, on his trail since last. August, said he made the mistake of coming back for a second. try at the same victim, Harry Arrison, 40, of 1640 Metropolitan the Bronx, who said he was swindled of $450 some months ago. When Tobin communicated with him again, Arrison, on advice of Detectives John Kehoe and Leif Reinertsen of the 4th Ave. station, agreed to meet him in of the main public library in Manhattan.

The detectives kept the date, too, and took their man in tow. He was arraigned before Magistrate Thomas H. Cullen in Brooklyn Felony Court on complaint of Sol Guberman of 6213 8th who claimed he had been "taken" by Tobin to the extent of $2,500. Maj.

April 8 (U.P.)Senator Joseph R. McCarthy Wis.) dropped his Congressional immunity from lawsuit today to accuse Owen Lattimore of fashioning a Communist U. S. policy for China. Lattimore replied immedilately that the Senator's accusa.

tion had been toned down to a point where it amounted to a retraction of McCarthy's, earlier "spy" charges, which he made in the Senate. McCarthy, in a speech to group of his fellow Marine Corps veterans, dared Lattimore to sue him for libel for charging he had guided the U. S. along the Communist trail in China. But he did not call Lattimore Russia's "top espionage agent" in the U.

S. and a Communist as he did in the Senate under Congressional immunity. These were two labels he pinned on the Far Eastern expert in speeches on the Senate floor, where he was safe from libel action. Doesn't Expect Suit Asked after his speech if he expected to be sued, McCarthy grinned broadly and said: "Hell no." Lattimore, upon hearing the contents of McCarthy's speech, said in Washington: "Senator. McCarthy's speech today his is in effect a retraction of libelous and fantastic accusations.

Of course, the Sen. ator did not repeat his charges. He knew better than to make them in an unprivileged speech. "Again the Senator weaseled. He knows that the charges are false, and he is frantically trying to hide behind his Senatorial immunity while pretending to come out in the open.

Urges Senator to Resign "He must have a low opinion of the intelligence of the American press and public if he thinks he can fool them with this kind of shell game. "If McCarthy were a man of his word, he would perform on his twice-repeated promise to is the best possible way in resign from the Senate. That which he can serve his country." This was a reference to statements by McCarthy on the Senate floor that he would resign if the day ever came when he would not repeat without imContinued on Page 2 with such pathfinders as Rear Admiral Richard E.

An air force communique said that all the Nationalist planes, which were on a bombing raid against Shanghai, came back, The carefully worded communique did not claim that any of the Chinese Communist fighter planes were shot down. It said merely: "In a bombing attack on the Shanghai area, engaged 25 Russian-type fighters with the result that in the ensuing engagement several enemy planes were damaged and others ran away."
