A proposal on the calendar, made by Borough President James J. Lyons of the Bronx, for the special committee of the Board of Estimate to consult with the Board of Aldermen about the matter, brought the landlords in flocks.

They filled the Board of Estimate chamber and overflowed into the When the calendar item as called, some 20 spokesmen leaped to their feet and simultaneously pleaded their common cause in constantly rising voiies. Tremendous applause from the run-of-the-mill landlords accompanied their unheard pleas and helped drown them out. Fireproofing Protested They were protesting in particular against the requirement to fireproof the tenements and install a toilet in each apartment as too expensive, making landlords criminally responsible for any injury if such installation has not been made.

It was reported today that the chairmanship may be given to William S. Murray, chairman of the Republican State Committee. Oswald D.

Heck, new Assembly Speaker, is understood to be ready to go to extremes to placate As semblymen and county leaders who resented his appointment of former Speaker Irving M. Ives as Republican floor leader. Winning their support will be necessary before Heck can attempt to push through any controversial legislation, for the Republican members number only 76 of the 150 In the House and 76 votes are needed to pass a bill. There will be no reprisals against Assemblymen who successfully opposed Ives' campaign for another term as Speaker, it is reported. On the contrary, Indications are that the insurgents may get an Increased share In patronage and choice committee assignments.

yesterday. There was no doubt that Shelubov had a rightful claim to the money. He was tried before a police department trial board and established the claim definitely. He was also cleared on his own testimony of baving obtained tlie money in any but a perfectly legal way. Find Discrepancies But when Assistant Chief Inspector John A.

Lyons began looking over the transcript of Shelubov's testimony he found a lot of discrepancies. Shelubov's dismissal was based on the fact that he "wilfully made false statements testifying in his own behalf at his own trial." Shelubov was appointed to the Police Department on Dec. 20. 1926, and up to last July was a plain-clothesman on the staff of Chief Inspector John A. Lyons.

Dismissed from the Police Depart ment with him was Patrolman Milton Neville of the Gates Ave. pre- cinct, who lives with his wife at 412 Vanderbilt Ave. The charge against him was that he had made false of- ficial statements to his superiors and to an Assistant District Attor- ney, Dinner-Dance Racket The statements were in connection with a dinner-dance held at a Fulton St. restaurant by the Rally Boys of 45 Myrtle Ave. on Nov.

29. It appeared that there was no such organization and that Neville had had tickets printed and made all arrangements as a private enterprise. He sold the tickets, at 75 cents each, to merchants on his beat. The false statements were made when he was questioned about the venture. Neville was appointed to the department on April 1.

1932. His dismissal brought the total dismissals by Valentine since he took office in September, 1934, to 152. East 'Swelters'; West Shivering Continued frnm Page 1 April 26 to April 28. The normal temperature for the date is 31. In 1927, on Jan.

14. the thermometer dipped to six and in 1932, the highest on record, it rose to 66. In Washington, Charles L. Mitchell, Government meteorologist, explained to the Associated Press that high pressing zones had persisted since about Jan. 1 over both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

West Battles Snowdrifts He said the Atlantic area had sent warm tropical air northward over the eastern half of the country, while in the Pacific zone a frigid stream of polar air flowed southward from Canada as far as Texas and west over California. While tne isast nas been unusually warm, the West has been battling snow drifts and freezing temperatures. Borough and Long Island amateur horticulturists have been holding their breath the last few days, fully expecting a cold snau to come along and freeze the early budding plants and bushes. Up at Nyack, bird lovers were distressed about the freak conditions. Birds which have flocked there because of the mild weather, it was said, will be destroyed if they cannot get food in the case of heavy snow.

A snowdrop was reported la bloom at Brooklyn Botanic Garden and also in the garden of Mrs. Beatrice A. Iselin in Westbury, Red maples also were budding. Pneumonia Cases Increase Pneumonia and influenza case figures have been fluctuating the last few days. With the end of the 24-hour period at 10 a.m.

today; an Increase In pneumonia cases was reported, while the other illness de clined. Today 194 pneumonia cases and 54 deaths were reported, an Increase of 19 cases over yesterday. Influenza cases dropped to 118 and deaths to 13. Brooklyn has 43 pneumonia and 39 influenzu cases. Dr.

John L. Rice, Commissioner of Health, has announced that he will begin an intensive drive and continue serving summonses on all offenders who violate spitting and smoking regulations in the subways, surface lines and all public places. In a preliminary survey the de partment determined that more than 3.200 persons violated these provisions of the Sanitary Code over a period of seven days. Of these, 2.644 were smoking in subways, 602 expectorated in the subways, in street cars or on sidewalks. Queens had the greatest number of persons found breaking the anti-smoking law, having 1.287 in the report; Manhattan, 616; Brooklyn, 478, and the Bronx, 263.

Kidnap Suspect Gives Self Up Continued from Page 1 Hayncs and that he had disappeared on Dec. 28, the day after the Mattson boy was abducted.

Suspect Is Grilled Meanwhile a closely guarded robber and a cottage with a blue clay barbecue pit were swept into the investigation. Blue clay was found under the slain boy's fingernails. In a solitary confinement cell at Bellingham, Lee Haskell Fowler, 36, was questioned by suspicious Federal Bureau of Investigation agents. The Jail was blockaded in an unusual precautionary move. Five miles north of Seattle, Chief William Cole of the State police investigated the four-room cottage.

The blue clay pit is along a creek nearby, but Cole said the "whole country there is of blue clay formation." An official source said the Bellingham prisoner declined to account, during several hours of questioning, for his whereabouts since Dec. 27, the night the Mattson boy was kidnaped. Knife Found Near Shack At Everett the killer's trail grew hotter rapidly as detectives swiftly put together the bloody pieces of the kidnap mystery: A deserted shack suspected of being the kidnap lair. A sack of blood-stained clothing found inside, both a boy's and a man's. A heavy knife perhaps the one with which the boy was stabbed In the back before he was bludgeoned to death.

A blood-stained automobile, stolen and abandoned believed to be the one in which the nude body was taken to a point near Everett and left to freeze in the snow. A machinist's hammer, picked up near the spot where a young hunter stumbled on the victim's body. Mattson Case Leads Boy to Blackmail Sixteen-year-old Austin Ryan of 122 S. 5th Mount Vernon, faced arraignment in Bronx magistrates' court today on a charge of blackmail, after admitting in the lineup, according to police, that he wrote extortion notes to the father of a missing boy on inspiration provided by reading newspaper stories of tlie Mattson kidnaping In Tacoma, Wash. Young Ryan Is accused of writing letters to Bert J.

Young of 218 Clinton New Roc'helle, former Director of Public Works of that city, demanding first $2,000 and then $10,000 for Information concerning Mr. Young's son, Robert 16. who has been missing since Jan. 4. Ryan was arrested yesterday after a Mount Vernon stationery store proprietor tailed police when the youth asked for a stamp, confiding.

"It's to make contact in the Young case." His 'In-law' Held No Home Wrecker Irving Panics, of 1564 Park Place, today asked a Jury before Justice Edward Rlegelmnnn in Supreme Court to compel his father-in-law. Frank Pelcyger, wealthy retired builder, of 2112 Albemarle Road, to pay him $200,000 damages, Parnes claimed that his father-in-law broke up his home by inducing his wife, Mrs. Helen Pelcyger Parnes. to leave him. Parnes married Pelryger's daughter on June 25.

1333, and In April, 1934, she left him, Parnes told the Jury. Herman S. Bachrach. attorney for Pelcyger, brought out that Parnes has been unemployed for some time, that he and his wife broke up their home by mutual consent, the furniture being stored in his name, and that after their separation she refused to live with him in a hall bedroom on Albany Ave which he offered her as their "new home." Justice Rlegelmann, after hearing i he testimony of Panics, dismissed I lha cam, ments requests for improvements. Mr.

Moon placed the development of Flushing Meadow for the World's Fair, and next to the bottom of the list was the develop- ment of Marine Park in Brooklyn. At the end of the Board of Higher Education's list was placed the proposed college for Queens' on the site of the Parental School. The proposal to build a bridge the Narrows from Brooklyn to taten Island was menttonad last in the Department of Plant and Structures' list, while Improvements for Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges and the construction of smaller bridges headed the list. The Board of Education's request for 48 new elementary schools, most of them in Brooklyn and Queens, was listed first. The Department of Corrections' request for improvements and fireproofing for the Queens County Jail w'as placed high.

Won't Reopen Plants "The Corporation has no inten- tion and will not cluniiL' the neso- the plants on strike and agrees dur- ing said period not to resume op eration of any plant." The Union had insisted ever since attempts were started to arrange for that the sitdown strike ers would not vacate the five General Motors plants they occupied unless the corporation promised not to remove equipment or resume operations. Governor Murphy, who spent nearly two weeks trying to effect the first meeting of representatives of the two groups, appeared weary as he emerged from the final session, but he smiled as he told newsmen that a truce had been arranged which would permit the opening of negotiations for a "permanent settlement" of thp strikes. "The agreement was reached between the parties themselves," Murphy said.

"The Governor of Michigan simply sought to bring tliem together and end an intol erable situation. We do not want our StatP plagued with conditions of tnis kina. The State Government will always give full consideration to property rights as well as human rights." Four More Plants to Close Four more General Motors plants announced yesterday that they would close due to the strikes and lack of parts. Eight hundred employes of the Fisher and Chevrolet plants at Tarrytown, N. were released last night, and the aitement said both would close corn- pletely by Monday.

Their workers total 4.000. Two Chevrolet factories at Saginaw, will close tomorrow, Alfred G. Gulliver, manager, announced. Seeks to End Glass Strike Washington, Jan. 15 (U.P John L.

Lan-trv for presentation to the Board of Alderman Tuesday, won wide commendation today. At the same time the measure was assailed bv labor leaders and the Catholic Big Sisters. The bill would provide that employes be registered and fingerprinted by the police department and permits be issued bearing the photograph of the individual worker.

It would make it mandatory for employers to hire only licensed help and provide a fine of $500 for failure to obey the law, Among those who Indorse the measure are William M.

The Brooklyn Bridge, which many of us think is little used now and out of date, in the year 1910 averaged 3,000 vehicles a day, or a total of 1,095.000 for the year; in 1936 its average was 25.901 daily, or 9 490.000 for the year.
