McCarry Won't Quit Business; Answers Critic Blanshard's Letter to Sheriff-Elect Asked He Leave Bond Firm Register Peter J.

McGarry of Queens answered an open letter today of Paul Blanshard, executive director of the City Affairs Committee, aclling upon him, McGarry, to withdraw from his real estate and insurance brokerage business "which may possibly lead to profit by virtue of your public office." McGarry received the letter yesterday. McGarry who will take office as sheriff Jan. 1, declared: "As everybody in Queens knows, I have conducted a general real estate and insurance business in Long Island City since 1915. I see no reason for giving up the business because Mr. Blanshard says so." Blanshard asserted in his letter that McGarry after being elected sheriff sent an announcement Queens Democratic workers of the formation of the firm of McGarry, Maficci Rowan, Long Island City.

In his letter to McCarry, Blanshard said also that investigation by his office "brought forth the information that your firm would engage in the business of furnishing surety bonds for orders of attachment and arrest." Blanshard questioned the proprety of McGarry engaging in the business while serving as sheriff. Blanshard wrote: "If you are to quiet the aroused suspicion of Queens citizens concerning your absolutely impartial conduct of the office we suggest that you should withdraw from vate business which may possibly lead to profit by virtue of your public office." James W. Mafucci of McGarry's supplemented McGarry's defense of his business activities with the statement that "Blanshard has the wrong information in this matter. We are in the real estate and Insurance business and we do place bonds because hat is our business. What does he expect us to do? Turn down business if people ask us to furnish bond for them? There are a lot of people in Queens and a lot of politicians in the city in the business," Mafucci said.

In a moment the automobile was surrounded by flames. The driver, jumped clear of the machine struck, but her passenger was unable to do so.

In the third quarter, with Chicago leading, 140, Illinois, getting the ball on Chicago's 40-yard line, lined up in wide-open formation. The defense loosened accordingly. In previous games, well scouted by Chicago, Illinois had used a pass similar to the one described in yesterday's article. The Illinois right end darted behind the in-charging defensive left tackle and end and took a toss over their heads from quarter. Another Illinois back came up swiftly on the outside.

Right end passed laterally to him just as the defensive fullback and left halfback were about to smear him. Against Chicago, Illinois had ready a bewildering variation of this play to make use of the elusive "Red" Grange, Instead of the ball being passed to 2 it went to Grange (1) while he was on the run right. No. 2, and not right end, dodged back of the defensive left tackle and end as they smashed in. No.

1 passed to him. Then instead of another back running up to take the lateral, 1 himself did so. This gave Grange a 30-yard gain. In the one pass only right end and the back receiving the lateral had gone out right. In this one all four backs figured.

No. 4 ran ahead of 1 as if to interfere for an end run. No. 3 dashed through inside tackle as a feint. The piay left, Chicago gasping.

Before it could recover Hall called the same formation, but with his backs switched about. Grange made an end run this time--for touchdown. Illinois now found itself managed to get a 21-21 tie when defeat had seemed certain.
