James C. Quinn, chairman of the City Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, announced the refusal, and the reason for it. It was the first time an application for a license had been denied on the ground of the applicant's underworld and racketeering associations.

At the same time a State Liquor Control Authority was proposed at a hearing of the New York State for Revision of the Tax Laws, held in the Bar Association Building, 42 W. 44th Manhattan. State' Sales Proposed The proposal was outlined by Dr. Luther Gulick of Columbia University, who suggested that this Authority would obtain revenues from the sale of liquor which would be substituted for the proposed 2 percent sales tax. His plan, Dr.

Gulick said, would be similar to plans in operation in several Canadian provinces. He added that a state monopoly would eliminate the license plan, enable the state to guarantee the quality of liquor sold and assure price control by the state In its battle against illicit liquor. At the same hearing a large number of speakers voiced their objections to the sales, tax, whicil, it was said, would cost the consumer Continued on Page 2 Labor Board's Power Raised Roosevelt Issues Order to 'Compose All Lahor Conflicts in Counirv Washington, Dec. 19 M) Presi dent Roosevelt has issued an executive order defining and establishing the authority of the National Labor Board to strengthen its hand in settling labor disputes.

Approximately $50,000 In salalies Ls involved. The Board of Aldermen can override the Mayor's veto by a 3-to-l vote but this is regarded as unlikely.

Curtiss Airport, North Beach, Queens, at 2:38 p.m. today. Their big red seaplane, in which they had flown over three ocean and four continents, came down smoothly in the water off the airport. Land Where They Started The plane alighted almost on the very spot from which they had started on their dramatic survey air tour on July last.

Lindbergh circled over Flushing Bay and finally brought his plan down ftbout half a mile from shore. He taxied to a and while Its motor still was idling, work of mooring the airplane was started. As the big red monoplane settled gracefully on the sun-flccked waves both the Colonel and his wife, who acted as co-pllot, navigator and wireless operator on the flight, stood up and smiled broadly toward the shorrs.

Sabelll and Pond's secretary, Miss Lillian Edgerton, who reported Pond missing to the police last night, said they feared he had met with foul play or was a victim of amnesia. Sabelli said that Pond telephoned him last Friday and informed him that he had been advised by the Weather Bureau that flying conditions over the Atlantic were improving. Phoned on Saturday "He telephoned fne again on Saturday morning," Sabelli said, "and asked if I could get the plane ready in two hours.

I told him that I could and he said he would get a final weather report from Dr. James H. Kimball at the New York Weather Bureau on Saturday night. I have not heard from his since." Miss Edgerton said she saw Pond last Saturday afternoon at the Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan Just before she took a train for Trenton.

Asks Removal Of Lehrenkrauss Mrs. Mary Wocker of 495 Lenox Road, wife of the late Clements Wocker, today petitioned Surrogate George Albert Wingate to remove Julius Lehrenkrauss, head of the house of Lehrenkrauss, senior member of the Lehrenkrauss co-partnership and president of the Lehrenkrauss Corporation, as executor and trustee of the estate of her husband. Mr. Wocker left an estate of Mrs. Wocker also asked the court that Lehrenkrauss be required to account for all monies and other property received as trustee of the estate.

The petition was asked for on the ground that as executor he "improperly applied the assets of the estate and improvidently managed the property committed to his cat." Woman's Charges Most of the information in the petition Is based "on Information and belief." She claims that Lehrenkrauss is insolvent; that he us'ed the assets of the estate to his own advantage in the firm of Julius Lehrenkrauss, and that he failed to keep the funds of the estate "separated," but Instead turned the funds over to the partnership, of Julius Lehrenkrauss and "mingled the funds with those of the partnership."

Pond War Veterans' Hopes Blasted By Decision McMaster Ruling Seen as Precedent for Ousting Tiger Holdovers Hopes of Democratic office holders throughout the city to hoM their lobs after the arrival of the LaGuardia administration as World War veterans were shattered today when the Appellate Division re versed a decision favoring Frank J.

MacMaster's reinstatement as as sistant Queens Public Works Com missioner on the ground of war service. Fusion Plans Cleanup The decision on the MacMaster case came after the announced Intention of Mayor-elect LaGuardia and his principal officeholders to clean out of the municipal Darracxs any Democratic war veterans who seek to hold their jobs as veterans. Paul Windels, who will be the Corporation Counsel in the new administration, told The Eagle that he is ready to go to the Court of Appeals against any Tammanyite who attempts to remain on the payroll. Kiernan and Griffin Cases The first of these cases expected to come up was that of former Alderman James F. Kiernan of Coney Island, who was appointed Superintendent of Public Buildings last week.

Kiernan expressed the intention of remaining in office despite the fact that the new Borough President, Raymond V. Inger-soll, has selected Louis Principe, well known builder, for the berth. Another case is provided in the recent appointment of William Griffin, Bay Ridge war veteran, as secretary to Park Commissioner Browne. MacMaster Ousted by Harvey MacMaster was appointed to the deputy public works berth at $5,000 a year by Borough President Harvey on Jan. 1, 1929.

On March 25, 1929, MacMaster received a letter from Harvey accepting his resignation. He started an action against the city for reinstatement on the grounds that he was a veteran and entitled to a hearing on charges. Supreme Court Justice Hallinan handed down a decision last July ordering MacMaster's reinstatement. Hallinan Reversed The Appellate Division not only reversed Justice Hallinan's decision but dismissed the case. "We are of the opinion," the decision stated, "that, under Section 383 of the Greater New York Charter, the petitioner was removable by the Borough President without charges.

There was no intention in the legislation to restrict the Borough President in the selection and retention of his com-misisoner and assistant commissioner of public works." Epsom Downs Results FIRST PACE Six furlonajs. Grand Champion. 112 (Wrlghtl. $15.60. 60.
