0. P. City Chieftain's Silence By JOSEPH H. SCnHALACKER Meier Stelnblnk. the leader of the Republican organization in orooic lyn, came out openly to-day in support of the move by the Republican legislative leaders for an extra session of the Legislature to consider a State Investigation of the1 city government.

The Brooklyn leader broke the silence of the city Republican chieftains, which they have maintained on the subject of the inquiry, with a statement declaring definitely in favor of the investigation. "We heartily approve of the proposal for calling special session of the Legislature to investigate the epidemic of wrongdoing and graft which saturates almost every department of the city government," said Mr. Stelnbrlnk In an Impromptu statement dictated by him when his view was sought. BRINGS PROOF TO PEOPLE "When this was proposed during the last regular session we approved of it, because we knew what was going on. These disclosures, which have since occurred, only bring home to tne people proof of what was strongly suspected.

"I repeat. Gov. Roosevelt continues to sit on the Tammany lid while flirting with the Democratic Presidential nomination. He must, first, show himself to be Interested in decent government before he can be taken seriously either as a Governor or anything else." wnue Mr. stelnbrlnk was making his statement, it was reported from Albany that the request of the legislative leaders for the special session was being brought nearer the stage for decisive action.

It was reported that Gov. Roosevelt was attempting to communicate witn senator John Knight and Speaker Joseph A. McGlnnles, the Republican legislative spokesmen, for a conference on their request to him to bring the Legislature into special session. WOULD ENCOURAGE LEADERS The patent consequence of the Steinbring statement Is to encourage Senator Knight and Speaker Mc-Glnnies in the initiative taken by them to bring about in Investiga tion. Mr.

teinbrink. In making his statement, declared he was interested solely in good government. The view in political circles is that, no matter what decision is reached by Gov. Roosevelt, his position, politically, Is a delicate one. Should the Governor decline to call the Legislature into special session, it would, according to one view, give the Republicans an outstanding talking point In the coming State campaign.

The opposite view is that, if he convenes the Legislature In extra session, such a move may antagonize some of the chieftains in the Democratic organizations within the city, although Mayor Walker declared originally when the question of a State investigation arose that he would welcome such an inquiry. To-night's speech by Albert Ot-tiuger. the former Attorney General and 1928 candidate agatnst Gov. Roosevelt, is regarded as the beginning of an early campaign to head off Mr. Roosevelt's re-election.

Mr. Ottinger Is slated to deliver a radio talk at 9 30 P. M. WAY SEEN TO PAY SCHOOL TEACHERS Hope for Vacation Trip Revived in Chicago CHICAGO. July 8 P).

LONDON-TOKIO VIEWS CITED IN AIDOFTREATY Nations Would Take Rejec tion as Imperialistic hire, Says Swanson WASHINGTON, July 8 (UP)- Rejection of the London Naval Treaty would be Interpreted In Lon don and Toklo as a warning the United States had embarked on. an Imperialistic career in which she would seek to dominate Japanese and British destinies, Senator Swanson, Democrat, Virginia, told the Senate tq-day In the opening plea In behalf of the treaty. Mr. Swanson rather than Chairman Borah of the Foreign Relations Committee seconded President Hoover's urgent request for ratification because Mr. Borah Is disinclined to fight for the treaty and party lines have been disrupted during the treaty consideration.

Mr. Swanson Is ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee. DEMANDS RATIFICATION "It would create In London and Toklo such irritation and suspicion that these nations would at once tax all their resources in order to meet all new construction In nayal craft that we should undertake. "Whether controlled by selfish, material interest or the broader and nobler purpose of promoting world peace and betterment, the best in terests of the United States demand ratification of this treaty. "It is evident from this treaty that the United States obtains absolute naval supremacy In the entire western hemisphere.

The United States is absolutely protected from any apprehension whatsoever from the fleets of any other nation and her safety Is assured." Mr. Swanson said the treaty navv would cost $1,000,000,000. but that, it would cost twice as much to maintain the desired ratios without a treaty. SHAM BATTLE ON PACT A sham battle roared around the London Naval Treaty to-day as Its opponents In the Senate developed the first move of their strategy to prevent ratification at the special session which began yesterday. The engagement centres around a resolution offered by Senator Mc-Kellsr.

Democrat. Tennessee, re- questing President Hoover to give the Senate all the State Department's secret records bearing on the treaty. Treaty supporters point out the treaty will not be materially affected whether' the resolution Is adopted or rejected. The same fight was made during the Foreign Relations Committee hearings and at that time, the committee adopted, 10 to 7. a resolution objecting to Mr.

Hoover's refusal to open department flirty Howfver, when an attempt was made to persuade the committee to refuse further consideration to the treaty until the papers were produced, so little support developed that the project was dropped with out being put to a vote. Administration leaders expect these circumstances to be repeated If Mr. Kcllars resolution Is adopted. The progressive Republican group, including Senators Norrls. Nebraska; 1 Follette, Wisconsin, and Blaine.

Wisconsin, is expected to support Mr. Kellar. The evidence of sympathy for the resolution produced an immediate conference of Chairman Borah, of the Foreign Relations Committee: Majority Leader Watson and Senators Swanson, Democrat. Virginia, and Reed, Republican. I Pennsylvania.

Mr? Watson and Mr. Swanson expressed confidence the resolution would be voted down. Time Is more Important to the i pro-treaty croup i than the out- come of the vote upon Mr. McKel- lar's resolution. ant U.

Last night the White Star Line acted as host to the press and invited guests at a dinner and private inspection, when several hundred looked over the new vessel. The Britannic gives the general Impression "of comlort and dependability rather than luxury. The cabin accommodations, unlike those of some of the larger liners, are not like the de lrxe suites of high- priced hotels but rather create a feeling of solid comfort. The tourist class is more like the less expensive section of the first class of other ships than the second class it has supplanted In most oceangoing ships.

The westward voyage took seven days and thirteen hours, but the officers said that after a few voyages the machinery will be shaken down and better time will be made. Among the accommodations in the first and tourist classes are children's playrooms, a gymnasium and a swimming pool that is at the disposal of passengers in all classes.

Reese said he felt certain he was one of the "unnamed reporters" referred to, told how he was injured last Friday morning whey his automobile was "sideswlped" off the road by a mysterious "good sized black sedan" near DeKalb. 111., and also offered to appear before the Grand Jury.
