March 29-A warning was issued today to State Leader W. Kingsland Macy De Robert Moses, president of the Inng Island State Park Comission, that he will not tolerate the G. O. P. boss' Suffolk weekly newspaper making "any further false statements" on commission layoffs.

Exactly what Moses would do if the alleged false statements were to continue, he did not say. He pointed out that the publications, have carried editorials few weeks regarding the layoff of employes by the sion and condemned the statement that the commission had discharged men without necessity. "No one connected with the commission cares anything about the personalities in your editorials nor about your analysis of events at Albany," Mosele wrote. "We shall not, however, tolerate any further false statements regarding the laying off of employes of this commission. "You have stated that a large number of employes, for whom salaries and wages appropriations were available until July 1, were discharge five months before that time because of resentment on our part over the cutting of legislative appropriations.

This is a wicked, coldblooded and deliberate lie, and you know it. "Not a songle employe was discharged whom it was not necessary to law off. In the first place, the great majority of workers in the State paks, whose services were dispensed with, were relief workers paid out of relief unemployment funds." Hired by Job Bureau Moses said that these relief workers were under the Commission's supervision but that they were neither paid nor hired by the Commission. He said the funds were administered by the relief bureaus and that the 500 men who were dropped abouta month ago were discharged because the relief funds gave out. "The 800 men in Nassau County whose services were terminated last week were dropped for precisely the same reason," he continued.

"The statement made by us with reference laying off of these men was to the effect that if the regular State Park construction appropriations had been made available. a large number of these men 1 have been taken care of on park work during the late Spring and Summer. hit and is an absolutely co: bet statement and you know it. In the meantime we are doing everything possible to obtain additional relief moneys, but at best we shall only be able to take care of a limited number of men up to June 1. From then on there can be no State relief moneys for Nassau and Suffolk Counties on State projects." Moses said that the men dropped from his engineering and technical staff were forced out because of the failure of the Legislature to provide construction funds.

He said the funds do not run for the fiscal year, but for the specific projects. these funds were cut off," he added, "there was absolutely no way of paying these men. No more painful and unpleasant duty ever devolved upon this commission than the discharge of these men, and it is a low and contemptible thing to insinuate that this commission dropped a single man whose services could have been retained. "You knew from numerous conferences and correspondence exactly what would be the effect of this year's legislative cuts. You pretended to be friendly tothe park program, but at the same time you were a party to out these appropriations."
