MR. ROLLENDER EXPLAINS Ridgewood Court House Contrc vsy Reviewed.

Editor, Brooklyn Times: Sir: It has been called to my at tentlon that certain Individual connected with the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce are making misleading and untruthful state ments in the matter ot tho Ridge wood Courthouse opening con troversy, which I would like to cor rect through the medium ot your newspaper. In the first place, tho Associated Organisations are not opposing the program arranged by the Klage wood Chamber of Commerce for the courthouse opening, as la being given to What we are opposing la the fact that none of the Individual organizations were naked In tho beginning to be a part of tho arrangements and we believe that that representation was duo each and every organization. We believe each of our affiliate organizations la just as big as the Ridgewood Chamber ot Commerce and capable of preparing a program for such an occasion. Secondly, the statement that our executive secretary. Mr.

Louis K. Reinhold. had no authority to complain to Borough Harvey of the fact that our organizations were not being consulted about the arrangements, is untrue. By virtue of his office the authority Is- invested in him to represent and speak for the organizations at all times. His actions In this matter have been approved by the Board of Governors and by the association Itself at regular meetings.

The statements to the contrary, coming from individuals who have no connection watever with our association, are unfounded and can only be construed as being an attempt to mislead the public and befog the issue. Our stand in this entire affair Is one simply calling for fair play. We want equal represcnta'ton for all organizations at all times. Trusting you will publish this letter in your next issue In order to set aright an erroneous impres sion. WILLIAM ROLLENDER.

It is indeed barbarous when our peaceful beliefs, are thwarted, but surely this is not only land that contains elements of unjust intejpretatlon. 1 here are many laws on our statute books that in tho light of interpretation may be construed as unjust, but yet for the good of society they must be carried out. What ft fine state of affairs we would find ourselves woven into if for somo reason the country were In a state of war and the bulk 'of our manhood capable of bearing amis refused to do so on the ground that they were opposed to war or that they did not think this country juslfied In declaring war.

The few survivors, tottering to the grave, still bear living witness to the fact that battles were fought, men killed by thousands, flourishing cities burned to the ground, and the peace of God hidden from human sight for more than four years. But even these few pilgrims of the past, lingering among us lonely and isolated in a world that nas iorgotten them even they also will soon cease, to be, and the places that knew and cher ished them will know them no more. It will be a sorry reflection on those who come after them that the memory of the blood, i the sacrifices of the Civil War should pass away with the last of those who had fought through it. We have a vast literature dealing with all aspects of the great struggle, but necessarily such a body of literature, even if accessible, can hardly be popularized. The sons of the men who fought have sought with a certain measure of success to perpetuate the heroism and the fame of those who had gone before.

We still cherish the name of the martyred President, who in his lifetime gave heart and mind and soul to the Union cause, and we have enshrined his birthday among our national festivals. But notwithstanding our greater effort in the World War, and the work of our soldiers who fought against Spain in 1898, the struggle that made these States united, powerful and the arbiter of the destinies of the world, was fought by the million men who responded to Lincoln's call. And we should cherifh, glorify and perpetuate their memory. New Subway Connection. Combining what should be two official functions in one, the Mayor and city authori ties formally opened today the Nassau-j street loop and the extension of the fourteenth street subway westward to Eighth avenue.

Knth arp rc-cpnt nrlrlitinns In lh Kiihwnv System of the city. The new services cost about $15,000,000. The work on each took about three years. The completion of both is an vent of significance to the city. The Nassau-Broad street loop is the last link in the great subway undertaking begun eighteen years ago.

Running under a portion of Nassau street, it was necessary because of the narrowness of the thoroughfare, to run one tube above another. Such construction is not unusual, but it makes mandatory in this case a readjustment of station entrances that may prove inconvenient for a time. The loop links all the scattered fragments of the city subway system in downtown Manhattan, and the B. M. which is the chief gainer by its construction, will be in a position to increase and improve its service at least ten per cent, by the addition to its facilities.

The extension of the Fourteenth street line to Eighth avenue means that this important crosstown connection will be articulated with the new Eighth avenue subway, to be opened in the fall, and which will connect the Brooklyn area with Washington Heights. And it is significant that the traffic on the Fourteenth Street line, since its extension, has grown from 23,000,000 passengers in 1928 to in mo. Some Traffic Observations. The excitement of last Saturday's air maneuvers and the return visit of the great fleet oi airplanes on Tuesday has subsided. The dis- cussion of the value of these great demonstrations continues, but public interest is turning already to other topics.

Before the maneuvers are forgotten, one phase of Hfe subject should be taken up anew. It is the question of traffic. Is the city doing its best to care for the great crowds which gather from time to time? At the Battery anJ at some other points in the city there was terrific congestion at the subway stations immediately after the maneuvers. Hundreds of thousands attempted to enter the stations at the same moment, with the inevitable result that the capacity of the trains was sufficient to care for the crowd, and the platforms and then the stairways became jammed. Boston had the same experience, with considerably more excitement.

It is probably impossible to avoid such incidents. Sub- ways must be designed for normal business, and the abnormal must cause temporary trouble. Highway congestion, on 'the other hand, was tint as bad last Saturday as some had predicted, but it was bad enough. So many motor ics drove into Flatbush avenue from either Fishing Not the Same, In These Modern Days By JOHN A. BEFFERNAN When I 'was a I used to sit on the Atlantic Yacht Club dock at the-foot of 65th street and fish.

Lined up on the dock beside me would be Charlie Gregory, happy-hearted and giving promise of strength of muscle and mind; Frank Fanning, who is now Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue and Republican leader of Bay Ridge; Joe Joyce, who has retired after long years of service with the Stand ard Oil Company and has a home in Putnam County; Adam and George Jackson, members of the quartet of our neighborhood, and Billie Jones, who became a printer and served for a while as a New York policeman under Commis sioner Theodore Roosevelt. Our trousers were turned up and our feet bare, we fished with rods cut from the 60th street woods, and sand-worms for bait, and we caught lafayettes. They ran plentifully in the bay then; we had no harbor pollution problem here. It all seemed so simple that I wondered why isaak alton ever wrote a book about fishing. I am much older now and much more informed, if not much wiser.

I have known such anglers as Bob Davis; Bob has fished for tarpon and used a harpoon on whales and whipped mountain streams for speckled trout. I have chatted with professional fishermen and men who fish for the keen sport of it. But I am myself in Cimmerian darkness about the mystic art; I know nothing about the species of whom that old Greek toper Anacreon wrote that Nature taught the unnumbered scaly throng To weave their. mystic way along." When President Coolidge fished for trout with worms, I said to myself. Why not? thus howing my abysmal ignorance.

And now that the first balmy breath of approaching June is in the air and so many of the fellow's I know are getting out tackle and yearning for sea and stream and lake, I feel like an outsider. I was down at Shcepshead Bay the other day and saw' the bowsprit of a white steam yacht projecting over a dock. She was a yacht such as I loved in the days of my youth; long clean lines, a sharp cutwater and aspirine prit, and at the stern a half oval. Nowadays boats don't look like boats to me all the time; with their squat stacks and radio masts and bluff bows and flattened stern sheets. They make me think of a barge with an engine board, and for all their speed and probably their comfort and sportiness, I don't like 'em.

But this was a yacht, more than 200 feet in length, as my poor eye measures distance, so I invited myself to make an inspection and accepted the invitation. I found she was the Au Revoir, owner Captain Bill Stevens, who ives in Kcnilworth Place, and is an old deep sea fisherman who moved over from Canarsie when the Jamaica Bay improvement and other causes made fishing there unprofitable. There are many of the old Canarsie fishermen now sailing out of Sheepshead Bay I learned, Captain yrigley among them. Captain Stevens wasn't on board his boat, but his mate was, an old-timer who learned pilotage and seamanship off the Florida coast, has been on wind- ammers around the world and now had both an engineer's license and a mate's job with Captain Stevens. Wind and weather have tanned his face to a leather hue, but he still has the strength of arm and keenness of eye to handle a ship in any kind of a blow.

"She was built for Old General Dupont, this boat," said the mate. "Then Commodore Charles A. Gould bought her and Captain Stevens purchased her from the estate of Commodore Gould and converted her into a fishing boat. Captain Stevens is a wreck fisherman, and he makes' the run down to Atlantic City where our passengers fish among the wrecks and" get sea bass. We can carry more than 200 and we have ample accommodations below decks for them in case of storm.

We carry a crew of eleven men." "Fishing has changed lately," the mate went on. "I remember when a fisherman on one of these boats would take home a basket full and leave the rest and I would make eight dollars a day selling what they left. But now they take barrels down to the dock and take all the fish away. What they do with them, I don't know." A few evenings later I sat on Fred Lyke's stoop a few doors below my own in Bedford avenue. And my legal friend got to talking about fishermen.

He went into the house and brought out an aluminum case and opened it. Inside were all sorts of smaller receptacles in which he had about fifty dollars' worth of artificial flies. "Aren't they beauties?" he asked. "You see," he added, "it is the artificial bait that makes trout fishing the noblest sport. It is the one sport in which the quarry has a fighting chance.

If you use living bait, the trout will strike and swallow the hook and all, and then he has no chance to make a fight. But when he strikes at a fly he realizes instantly that he has been fooled and it is up to you by a co-ordination of all your faculties to snap the hook into his Hp. It catches but lightly so that the play begins. If you are unskilled or inert he will pull away, but you can play him until he is tired out and then net him and get him in the' creel. It is the grandest sport the very reason that the quarry has chance for his life." So they go off to the woods and the sea, deep sea fishermen and shallow stream fishermen, lake and pool and wha't not.

Just now I understand from Walter Mohr, who drives the Brooklyn Times delivery truck that carries this newspaper down the north shore to JRiverhead, the weakfish are running strong in the Sound. 1 Maybe the old-fashioned boy had a keener sense of responsibility, but he -couldlft get his white shoes fixed up for a dime. You can't tell yet whether Spain has her republic on its feet or on her hands. Hollywood now produces talkies in every language except ihat of the producers. tne process of conquering England they changed "tung" to "tongue." ged to accomplish a great deal, p( -gl e-nnrt wnpk." Rld Dr.

Guenther. I blocked. At the field, however, thanks to the excellent parking arrangements worked out by Inspector Michael T. Ahearn and carried out by hundreds of policemen, the incoming throng of cars was handled without difficulty and with out delay. 'The fact that the cars did not all come at once helped very much.

Leaving the field was a very different mat ter. Had the program been carried out on time and had all the drivers attempted to go just after 3 o'clock there would have been a jam of the sort predicted. But the long delay di- couraged thousands, and half the cars had gone before the air display was ended. This was fortunate, from a traffic standpoint, for the other half had a jam which held up the drivers rom one to two hours. The best police arrange ments cannot move cars when there are more of them than there is room for on the streets.

There will be many displays and special af fairs at Floyd Bennett Field from time to time. Each will attract thousands of automobile parties. Are we to have a traffic jam each time, something which will give the field and the community a bad name? The proposed vehicular tunnel to Rockaway would extend Flat- bush avenue, allowing traffic to run in both directions. Another highway to the field would permit through traffic. Why not be about hem now? Bushwick Hospital Appeal.

Several weeks ago the situation at the Bush wick Hospital was described at length in one of those interesting articles which Mr. John A. Heffcrnan writes for this page. It was ex plained that the hospital cares for many hun dreds of patients free of all charge, and hundreds more for the city at a fee much below the actual cost of their care. Under the cir- umstances the hospital is bound to be operated at a loss, and as there is no great endowment and no wealthy organization provides funds it is not surprising that there should be deficits from time to time.

A committee of physicians attached to the hospital is seeking a fund of $40,000 to wipe out the current deficit and to provide a new wing for the hospital. This is a modest sum, as these drives go these days, and an appreciative public ought to be able to raise it in short order. Mr. Heffernan's article proved of great value in calling attention to the hospital's need. The editorial column is now thrown open to the Bushwick doctors, in the hope that they may reach thc4r goal with no further difficulty.

Briand Still Powerful. Foreign Minister Briand of France scored nother trump at Geneva last week when he was successful in heading off the proposed customs union of Germany and Austria by getting this controversial proposition, full of high explosives, referred to the World Court by the consent of all parties France has pposcd the plan on the ground that it was also a political matter, in which all the parties to the treaty of Versailles are interested. This disposition of the proposition was a happy one, because it was fraught with grave danger to the peace of Europe, and it demonstrated the value of the World Court to the world in avoid ing a possible serious situation. The trouble will now be composed, JrVid it affords an oppor tunity to develop a larger plan of customs union dvocated by Briand in his plan of a United States of Europe. M.

Briand he- offered his resignation as Foreign Minister, which it is hoped by the en- re world he will withdraw, and he is beiftg rged to continue as Minister on all sides. His great ability and devotion to world peace are particularly needed ct this time in a troubled orld groping to the way to permanent peace. Man of High Adventure Dead. Brooklyn has grown s6 big that we harbor within our gates hundreds 'of interesting citizens whose identities are unknown to theit neighbors. Thus, the newspapers a day or two ago recorded the fact that Robert Merrill had died at Coney Island Hospital from pneu monia, having been received there from his home at 30.r)5 Lakeland place.

The bare fact neither illuminating nor instructive. But as we read on, we see that Mr. Merrill who had ved to be seventy-nine, had been a sailor, par achute jumper in, the circus, whaler, rancher and deep-sea a month ago, with his great age warning him against it, and death lurking nearby, he had clung to a precarious foothold atop a Manhattan hotel in a job of flagpole rigging, and that within a few years he had handled a paint brush on the dizziest height of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. And this adventurous soul, born in Arizona, descended from good blood in New England, rover by land and sea all his life, had lived in peaceful Brooklyn for years.

What the author of this sentence overlooked was that the subject of the verb "are" Is "what'" and not "fewer palaces arid more parachutes." He should hot have used the verb "are," because "what" is In the singular number. The right word is "is." A verb may have a singular subject and a plural complement; as.
