Dewey sponsored bill had precipitalec one of the most acrimonious floo halites of the 1944 session. The measure, increasing from one to two per cent the amoun which must be paid annually the principal ot property affect ed by the moratorium, now to the assembly where anothe fight is in prospect. It is expecte however, to muster enough Re publican for passage. For more than two hours the senate last night there rage a heated debate between two Ne York city Democrats Elmer Quin and Lazarpus Joseph.

The bi finally was approved, 30 to 1 Two other New York Democrat Carl Pack and Charles D. Perr voted in the affirmative wit Quinn and the Republican major ity. Previously, an amendment fered by Democratic Senator John V. Downey of Queens, continuing the amortization payment figure at one per cent Instead two, was defeated by a 29 to 17 vote. Two companion bills, permitting mortgage foreclosure during the moratorium when the property owner fails to make repairs after so ordered by the courts, and continuing for another year the period during which deficiency judgment may not be clecov- ered in foreclosure actions, also were approved.

All three were introduced by Senator Rodney V. Janes, Rochester Joseph objected to the bill increasing amortization payments because of a provision stating that the moratorium would cease Jan. 1, 1945 on property sold after 1937. Quinn, on the other hand, violently opposed thu moratorium itself, contending that conditions today did not justify it. The moratorium originally was adopted by the legislature in the early 1930's, during the worst period ot the depression, rnd continued from year to year.

In his annual message to the legislature in January, Dewey recommended that the amortization payments be boosted to two per cent.

isions and 300 Planes to Continue Fight. By JOHN A. PARRIS London, March 7--(UP) A wiss dispatch said today that Adolf Hitler had intervened in an llth hour attempt prevent from quitting the war, jut a Stockholm report said the Pinna already had replied to Russia's armistice proposals and ex-' pected an answer from Moscow shortly, probably tomorrow. The London Daily Express reported from Stockholm that Germany had offered to send 300 planes and 10 additional divis- to 150,000 men -to Finland if she would drop peace negotiations. An Exchange Telegraph agency dispatch from Zurich said, a neutral correspondent in Berlin in close touch with well-informed quarters had learned of Hitler's intervention and' quoted the fuehrer as saying: "Finland's decision concerns the fate of all of Europe and nol just herself Such 'paramount de- cisions, only in absolute agreement with Berlin" This neutral correspondent believed that German Foreign 'Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop has assured Hitler that Finland will refuse any armistice or 'separate peace, the Zurich itory laid.

The Tidningen also Finnish diet at Helsinki today.

A reliable Swedish source quoted In a London News-Chronicle Stockholm dispatch said that although a majority of the Finnish diet was not in favor of accepting the Soviet 1 terms, the chamber had voted to continue negotiations. The News-Chronicle said, the principal stumbling block appeared to be the question of the Finnish naval base of Hangoe, the surrender of which was being opposed by Marshal Carl Gustaf Bmil Mannerheim, commander-in- chief of Finland's armed forces that Helsinki had sounded out the Russians on the possibility of modifying certain of the six Soviet terms The Stockholm newspaper believed that a Finnish note expressing a desire to continue negotiations had reached Moscow through Swedish channels. According to the Daily Express, the Finnish government discussed Germany's offer to send 300 planes and 10 new divisions yesterday and finished drafting its counter-proposals to the Soviet terms which the London newspaper said would be submitted to FARMERS' DIVISION OF MINE WORKERS MEETING IN UTICA Utica, March 7--(UP) The first regional conference of the united dairy farmers' division of district 50 United Mine Workers' of America gets underway today.
