Albany, Feb. 27 The revised bus and truck tax bill, on which Legis-. lative leaders and tax officials have been working: for -two weeks, will bring the State about $8,000,000 in revenue, or $4,000,000 less than the original measure, it was learned toda'. This saving to the bus rompanies and truck dperators is made largely to the benefit of truck owners operating entirely within city limits and of bus companies which pay franchise taxes.

In the original bill, tossed out of the window after a hectic public hearing the city trucks received no special consideration and their representatives declared that many of Lame Duck Ban Agreed to by Both Houses Conferees Decide 36 States Must Ratify It Within Seven Years Washington, Feb. 27 OP) After nine years of frustration, the Norris Constitutional amendment abolishing the "lame duck" session of Congress today received the' unanimous approval of conferees of the House and Senate. Only formal acceptance of their report in both branches remained to complete Congressional action and submit to the States for ratification this far-reaching measure designed to modernize methods of procedure inherited from stage coach days. Complete accord on differences in the measure as it passed the two Houses was reached when the Senate representatives agreed that the amendment should fail to take effect unless ratified within seven years bv the reauired 38 States. The Board of Estimate, for four weeks, has delayed action on the application for retirement, with pension, of former Tammany Sheriff Charles W.

Culkin. Voting a pension for Culkin would cost the taxpayers $6,500 a year. "There is no reason," Samuel Seabury wrote to the board, "why the city should pay Culkin a pension." Culkin Reclined to waive immunity to explain the he banked during Mayor Walker's regime, while holding public office. Testimony taken by Seabury alleged bootlegging activities, political racketeering in' the sale of building supplies and unlawful appropriation of interest against Culkin. He has been indicted on the latter charge.

Culkin, prominent Tammany district leader, is a close friend of Boss John F. Curry. Why does the board delay action on the pension matter? MAYOR WALKER AND THE TAMMANY DISTRICT ATTORNEYS DO NOTHING. WILL GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT DO SOMETHING? Foremost among the provisions of i tnem would be forced out of measure is elimination of the ness by the prohibitive rates.

Before the Expenditures Committee adjourned without approving the Democratic-sponsored bill to merce the War and Navy Departments, Chairman Byrns of the Special Economy Committee said he hrd asked all members of the Cabinet for suggestions as to what activities could be eliminated. No Co-operation, Says Cochran Then, Secretary Mills made public a letter to Chairman Coch-im of the Expenditures Committee in sisting mar, -any lauure to cooperate will not be due to any action or attitude on our part." Cochran retorted: "The President has suggested an administrator of public works and a personnal administrator. If Mr. Mills or any other member of the Cabinet will let me know what Government agencies the President de-lrrs in these set-ups I will then linly announce that the Government departments are co-operating with the Congress." Cochran granted that In two letters he had received from Mills the Treasury Secretary had said that insofar as proposed consolidation legislation "conforms to the President's recommendation it has the approval of this department." Congress Responsibility "Mr. Mills tells the committee he wants it to do exactly as the President requests," Cochran asserted.

"The Congress has a responsibility as well as the President, and an agency of the Congress is trying to get the executive department's assistance to bring about proper legislation to consolidate and coordinate Government activities." Cochran disagreed with the view of some members of the expenditures committee that today's refusal to approve the War-Navy bill meant the legislation had been indefinitely delayed.

S. Defend Policy Stiiniii Wrrlirt stiver. as the Reason Lesser Pleas Are Accepted District Attorney Geoghan yes- terday hit. back at Prof. Raymond I C.

Moley and the penologist's drive against the acceptance of pleas to degrees of crime less than those charged in indictments. Pointing to the Jury conviction of Mrs. Lydia Cacciapouti. which Judsje Tavlor yesterday called "dangerous and stupid," Mr. Geoghan, after re fusing on three occasions in the last year to answer attacks made by Moley on his office, finally summed eeptance of lesser pleas.

Hit as 'Preposterous' Just two weeks ago Professor Moley cited the acceptance of pleas by Geoghan from five confessed gang killers as 'preposterous." The prosecutor "refused at that time to explain or answer. But early yesterday morning Mrs. Lydia Cacciapouti was acquitted on a charge of murder in the first de-- jrree and Mr. Geoghan decided to answer Moley. Her attorney had offered during the trial to have her plead Ruilty to manslaughter.

Assistant District Attorney Edward D. Kelly, after consulting Mr. Geoghan, refused to accept the pica. Geoghan said yesterday in an In- terview with The Eagle: "The evidence against the defendant was unassailable. The jury, through a course of reasoning which is amazing to any one of intel-.

licence, has allowed a guilty woman to go out on the street to laugh at the law. Was 'Prrfect Case' "The Jury heard the prosecutor read a full confession from the woman. It heard Mr. Kelly outline the most perfect case of murder in the first degree that this county has had in years. According to the police.

Mrs. Cac- ciapouti killed Michael Rubino be- eause he spurned her after he had a. Rj nil" IIm the trial the defendant declared the hooting had been an accident. Mr. Geoghan continued "In this case because a defendant went to trial rather than take a plea to a lesser degree of crime, we have a guilty person at large.

"I understand this is the way Professor Moley would have us do things. He would have us avoid ii-wrr pica as iney lnairaiea criminal tendency on the part of prosecutors. "Certainly, reviewing the Cacciapouti case, people can understand why it is sometimes advisable to accept lesser pleas. "I would rather have a dozen guilty defendants acquitted than have one innocent man Dunished. But here we have a ease which is such a rank miscarriage of justice that it cannot be overlooked." In all cases of convictions, the defense lawyer has the right to ap- nx tin c.c tuts mallei buui vain murder cases the appeal Is automatic.

But under the Constitution the law cennot twice jeopardize a man, a district attorney is unable to appeal an acquittal. Silent On Amendment Geoghan refused to say he would support a movement to bring about a Constitutional amendment. How- "ever, he said nothing to indicate that such a move would not meet his favor. The jurors who freed Mrs. Cac- napuuw, niiu wtuKvr uamen iinvc been stricken from the Jury list at Judrre Taylor's request as result of thPir action, are Pdw.Tii Bmckmiiifr.

Md-' ln St. Germany's Scheme Of Broadcasting Germany's broadcasting scheme differs from the British in that, although the postoffice holds control, several firms are licensed to broadcast, instead of confining the authority to one organization and giving It complete monopoly such as the British Broadcasting Company enjoys. The two most important firms are Fimk-Stunde, which operates, among others, the Witzleben station In and the Densche-Wells, which owns the Konigs Wusterhausen high-power station. It is these two firms that have the co-operation of another organization, called the Reichs-Biindfunk, which looks after the administration of the remaining companies Church Burine Woman The Business Woman's Club of the Central Congregational Church, Hancock St.

The sorority, which was founded In 1903 at Erasmus Hall, has 11 active chapters and was organized for social and charitable purposes.

The reduction, together with the fact that Republican leaders saved motorists $21,000,000 by cutting in half the proposed two-cent gasoline tax Increase, means that the total of new or Increased taxes, originally calculated to bring in additional State revenue, actually will return only $112,000,000.

The budget can still be balanced, however, because the Republicans rut $21,000,000 from it and the original $135,000,000 estimate provided a $12,000,000 surplus, which now will be less than $8,000,000. 680 Delegates Will Be Wets Continued from Page 1 minded members of his cabinet. Postmaster General Walter Brown, Secretary of the Treasury L. Mills, and Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley are working to bring this development about.

Even Senator Simeon D. Pess of Ohio, chairman of the Republican National Committee and heretofore counted among the foremost dry leoders, appears uncertain as to the course the party should pursue. The dry side of the argument at the moment is being upheld by Vice President Charles Curtis and Senators William E. Borah of Idaho. Reed! Smoot of Utah and James E.

Watson of Indiana. All of these are opposed to any move in the wet direction. The States listed in the tabulation of the President's adviser as wet. with the number of votes each will have in the convention, are as follows: Miclgan. 41: New Hampshire.

11: Vermont. 9: Rhode Island, 8: Massachusetts. 34; Connecticut. 19; New York, 97; New Jersey, 35; Pennsylvania, 75: Maryland, 19; Ohio. 55; Illinois.

61; Wisconsin. 27; Minnesota. 25; Iowa, 25; Montana, II; Washington, 19; Oregon, 13; California, 47, and Texas, 49. In addition to these, it Is said a considerable number of Southern delegates can be swun? in favor of a wet plank if their votes are needed. Postmaster General Brown, generally considered as Mr.

Hoover's pre-convention campaign manager, and the chief wrangler of Southern delegates on behalf of the administration, Is strongly opposed to prohibition. The Southern States, other than Texas, which Is definitely classed as and the number of delegates they will elect, are as follows: 25: North Carolina, 28 South Carolina. 10; Georgia, 16; Flor ida, 16; Alabama, 19; Mississippi, 11; Louisiana, 12, and Arkansas, IS. To Follow Legion Lead The chief effort of the Republican leaders who favor a wet plank is to draft it In a form that will be least offensive to the dry wing of their party, in general, they plan to follow the lead of the American Legion by declaring for a referendum on the Eighteenth Amendment, without declaring themselves against this enactment. The Republican position.

It is said, will be premised on the asser tion that a whole generation of voters has grown up since the Eighteenth Amendment was adopted and that these are entitled to a vote on the proposition. It Is argued that the convention can declare for resubmission of the Eighteenth Amendment and President Hoover can approve this action while still maintaining his personal position that National Prohibition has been of economic benefit to the country and should be continued. What Mr. Hoover may say about it, if the party declares for resubmission, is the merest speculation. All Mr.

Hoover has indicated so far Is that he will not fight against a plank calling for resubmission of the prohibition issue to the States, and that he will not express himself in public on any phase of the prohibition problem until after the nominating convention. Borah Sees No Change Washington, Feb. 27 Confidence that the Republican National Convention would adhere to previous dry pledges was voiced today by Senator Borah (R, Idaho), in the face of Eastern demands for a repeal plank at the Chicago meeting In June. The action of New Jersey Republicans in recommending that its delegation work for a repeal declaration drew no comment from the Idahoan, but he recalled that a similar effort failed in 1928. Senator Borah was a member of the resolutions committee at the Kansas City Convention four years ago and was largely responsible for the dry plank adopted then.

If he attends the Chicago Convention it is expected he will have a lot to My about the prohibition resolution. 'short session" of Congress at which members, defeated at the polls the previous November continue to legislate from the first Monday In December until March 4. Would Assemble Jan. 3 Instead Congress would assemble each year on Jan. 3.

Its new members taking office two months after their election instead of waiting 13 months as Is now the case. Congress would continue in session as long as necessary to finish its work. In addition to setting Jan. 3 for the assembling of Congress, the amendment would have the terms of the President and Vice President begin on Jan. 20 instead of March 4.

The conferees compromised to agree upon the dates. A section designed to provide a constitutional method for filling the place of the President-elect and Vice President-elect in case of death before taking office, wag re-written to embrace ideas contained In both the House and senate versions.

TO PAY TRIBUTE Unveiling of a memorial tablet to the late Arthur S. Somers will be held at Temple Shaari Zedek, Kingston Ave. and Park Place this afternoon.

Left to right; Marie be helpful in securing money to continue improvements and relieve the civic improvement pressure. Also an adjustment probably would halt the pressure to substitute long term bonds for the short term method of financing the new subway construction. There Is no demand for such a change in the new plan and such a change. It is said, would make impossible the support of the new lines on a 5-cent fare.

From that angle, the new scheme would be a move to save the nickel rate rather than a menace of higher fare. B. M. T. Not to Make Offer With respect to operation of the 8th Ave.

trunk, the city has learned that the B. M. from whom (t anticipated the best offer, is unwilling to make any proposal at all. It holds that the tentative contract is "impossible." It has a provision that the bid price shall not be, paid the operator unless he earns it, and that the operator must give any and all service required by the Board of Transportation. This is looked upon as a "squeeze clause" that would permit the city, at any time it saw fit, to make service demands so onerous as to wipe out all chance of earnings.

Why Company Objects It Is held that even if the city was inclined to be reasonable, an administration directly dependent on votes of the masses couldn't hold out against public demands for "luxury service." Even if this clause were corrected, the company still would object to taking the line, on the ground that it would be accused of trying to make it show a loss because it would be partly competitive to existing lines it either owns or In which It has an interest. 84 New Motor Trucks For Brooklyn P. O. Washington-, Feb. 27 Brooklyn postoffice was assigned 84 new motor trucks today by Postmaster General Brown following award of a contract to the Ford Motor Company and General Motors Co.

Ford Is to supply and deliver the chassis at 352 each. Seventy for the Brooklyn sertice are to be of 4,200 gross load carrying capacity. The contracts for the bodies went to General Motors at $149 each at the factory at Pontiac. The capacity of the bodies will be 200 cubic feet each. The new trucks will tw painted black with olive Fres Cowls.

A smaller type was included in the contracts, but it was decided to use only 14 of them In the Brooklyn area. Mass of Realty Bills Face Legislature MRny bills of great importance to real estate Interests are being considered at the present session of the Legislature, according to a report just made by J. Irving Walsh, president of the New York State Association of Real Estate Boards. Ap proximately 3.000 bills and resolu ons have been dumped into the legislative hopper. A careful analysis of this great mass of proposed legislation shows that a large percentage of bills affect realty Interests directly or indirectly.

The report of the Tax Revision Commission and the bills carrying out the recommendations of that body represent one of the most important phases of this year's session so far as property owners are concerned. Mr. Walsh contends. He says that realty interests have vigorously protested the decision of legislative leaders to defer consideration of this remedial legislation until next year. Says Co-operative Apartments Succeed Summarizing his talk on "The Cooperative Apartment Situation" before the members of the management division of the Real Estate Board of New York, last Tuesday evening at the Hotel Commodore, at regular monthly dinner meeting.

David V. Sutton, president of Sutton, Blagden Lynch, stated that this type of multi-family abode has come to stay and that in the congested districts of the large urban centers, as New York, he was confident that it will gradually replace the private house. He further declared that out of the total number of co-operatives built during the past 12 years only three got into financial difficulties and that these difficulties, fortunately, happened before more than one or to partmcn' had been snld, Continued from Page without regard to any opinion they might have previously expressed on the subject at issue. Monsignor Belford Scores Japan Thus Mons. John L.

Belford, pas tor of the Church of the Nativity, said: "The answer to the first question 'boycott) is absolutely no. As for the second, It would depend on the provocation. My first reaction, and that of other people, was in favor of Japan as a nation of law and order while the Chinese were ruled by bandits. But when this thing happened in Shanghai and they attacked utterly defenseless people, they lost all title to our 'respect. Japan Is a nation of savages." Dr.

Cadman Against War On the other hand, the Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, pastor of Central Congregational Church, said: "I am not prepared to say that under present conditions a boycott should be declared, but I am prepared to say that under no conditions should we be drawn into a war with Japan." Other comments ware: Louis Pink, lawyer I'm sure we should not get into a war. There is some question about the boycott.

If we. did it at all, it should be together with the League of Nations. Faith Baldwin, novelist I feel strongly that we should not get drawn into war. I know very little about the baycott, but it would seem to me that if all other nations would join, a boycott might stop the Japanese. James Meeks, banker and president of the Bay- Ridge Civic Council I would say no on both, no matter what other countries do.

Milton J. Ferguson, chief librarian of Brooklyn Public Library The boycott is such a dangerous Instru ment it might bring about the very thing we want to avoid, which is war. a pah deserves the censure of the world, but perhaps that is not the way to apply It. As to war, I think we ought to have the strength to stay out. Stands Firm for Boycott Dr.

Joseph A. Burgun, former president, Brooklyn Rotary Club Every means should be employed to avert war, and the most effective means would be a three-months' boycott of all Japanese goods. What we' should do, then, would depend on the outcome of the boycott. Miss Winifred Travis, president, Flatbush Women's Civic League I think not on the boycott. And on war no.

We should keep in mind Washington's admonition to keep out of foreign affairs In other words, to mind our own business. The Rev. K. E. Morse, pastor Prospect Park Baptist Church.

Our attitude on a boycott should depend on the League of Nations. We should not declare alone. There is no reason for a war as yet. Some other means than war should be found. James K.

Klark, coal dealer. Yes to both questions. That is. if all other nations co-operate with us. Let Foes Fight It Oat The man-in-the-streetr and-the-woman-ln-the-street was not as satisfied to give a yes-or-no answer There were always accompanying remarks which were frequently enlightening, revealing some of that "silent vote" attitude which political leaders so often ignore to their own confusion.

Some of these were: "We've had wars enough already." "There Is no reason good enough to Justify a war." "Let the Japs and the Chinese fight it out." "Why should we fight for the corporations and the moneyed few?" "Let remember the lessons of the World War." And over and over again: "Let's keep out of another war."

J4S Eastern Pvrkwav hmiw Walker Leads In Unity Move Continued from Page 1 the presidents of each were au thorized to take the matter up with Mayor Walker. Specific Issues Soujht A delegation headed by Joseph M. Price called on Mayor Walker as Fullen and his unification counsel, John J. Curtln, visited him. The latter two had come to urge the city to indicate its views in some definite manner, so that at the' hearings before the Transit Commission specific Issues could be tackled.

The Price committee called to urge the Mayor to name a subcommittee to deal directly with the railroads. Both groups said their ultimate aim was to get the city and the railroads together. Walker is said to have promised to act. This resulted in the conference of last week and the decision of the board to act as a whole rather than through a small subcommittee. Appealed to Companies Meanwhile the civic leaders had appealed to the companies and had obtained a favorable response there.

At the same time, it now appears, studies were being made in order to develop the outline of a scheme that would be a compromise between the Transit Commission's tentative proposal which the companies are understood to have determined to reject and the demands of the railroads and city. The chief difficulty was the in sistence of the roads that they must nave as part payment a huge block of city bonds, between 125 and 150 million dollars. In view of the difficulty the city had last month in disposing of obligations for other purposes this was regarded as an insuperable obstacle. But a new plan has been worked out. It provides that the railroads undertake to obtain consents from their security holders for the ac ceptance of city bonds or cash and deposit their traction holdings with syndicate which would agree to bid a certain Interest rate on the city stock when it was offered to purchase railroad properties.

Acceptance Conditional The railroads also would undertake to get the consent of security holders of other classes to accept Board of Control bondr. The city's acceptance of the deal could be made conditional on the sale of its securities and those of the Board of Control. In other words, if the railroads failed to get enough consents or a banking group to back the plan, there would be no trade. From railroad quarters it is learned that a banking group, probably headed bv the Chase and Morgan interests, "is willing to attempt the plan provided the city will ac cept a last-resort guarantee clause permitting a flexible fare if all other means fail to provide the revenues to meet interest on the Board of Control bonds. Deal Has Chance Now However, the tabulations of the Transit Commission, claiming a cushion of $13,000,000 in excess revenue against such a contingency, is being accepted as sound by the unifiers.

Provision would be made also that the moneys normally applicable to interest on city stock used in the deal might be applied to support the Board of Control obligations and the city would assume the interest burden on its own bonds. Anv time prior to the January difficulty which the city had to ob tain money, the flexible fare condition would have been regarded1 as impossible. Now, facing the necessity of getting the 8th Ave. line into operation preferably without municipal operation and a strong probability that transit adjustment would avoid future financial troubles, such a deal has a chance. Bankers Dissatisfied! The bankers are said to be dissatisfied at heart with the methods the city is following to effect economy.

They think the Board of Estimate has sidetracked a lot of public improvements that should have been financed Top the well-being of business in general. Also the members of the Board of Estimate are beginning to feel a kick- back from disappointed groups whose pet improvements went on i the "suspense calendar." A tranfit deal, is said, would i man.
