HUNT ARMORY "PLAN SCORED Exposition Society Lease Opposed by Sacred Heart Church. Plans to provide Pittsburgh with a large convention hall through conversion of the Hunt Armory in the East End have encountered a snag in the form of opposition from the pastor and trustees of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. The project to create a long-sought auditorium with a seating capacity of 14,000 became known Saturday when the church authorities, in telegrams to Governor George H. Earle, attacked it on the grounds that it would be detrimental to the neighborhood of the armory and church in Emerson street.

The Greater Pittsburgh Exposition Society, it was disclosed, is endeavoring to lease the armory for a nominal rent provided the Society defrays the cost of installing a floor, heating plant and other facilities, estimated at $250,000. Although the state armory board already has approved the proposal to utilize the home training quar ters of the One Hundred and Seventh Field Artillery, according to P. M. Chamberlain, promoter for the society, other state agencies must also authorize it. It appeared j-esterday that the final decision in the controversy will rest with Governor Earle as a result of the church action.

Complaining that tne matter has been kept "almost entirely secret," the Reverend Thomas F. Coakley, pastor of Sacred Heart Church, asked the governor to give immediate attention to a project which would "change the character of Emerson street." The trustees added their protest to the pastor's because they MAYOR PUSHES POLICEjTOE Will Get Report Today On Alleged Tieup With Hill Bootleg Gang. Preliminary reports on the progress of his investigation to date into the tie-up between city po licemen and a Hill district boot leg alcohol ring will be presented to Mayor C. D. Scully today by City Solicitor John J.

Kennedy. The law department head will present his partial report and discuss further steps in a conference with the mayor and Safety Director George E. A. Fairley. Kennedy would not discuss rumored possibilities of the appointment of a special prosecutor to push the quiz when questioned yesterday.

Scully was out of the city and could not be reached for comment. Kennedy would likewise make no comment on the possibility that the scope of the investigation may be widened beyond the protection of the alcohol ring into other ramifications of alleged police graft. It is known, however, that the solicitor and his aides had listened to ex-Inspector Albert roving vice raider in the administration of former Mayor William N. McNair. Kennedy, who was named to conduct the investigation when Federal court trials against the rum ring defendants first disclosed police connections, would not say whether or not he had obtained any new information from Florig or any one else.

It is believed, however, that the conference with Mayor Scully for the presentation of the preliminary report was delayed over the weekend after being originally scheduled for Saturday because of new leads developed. Eight policemen are under suspension pending completion of the quiz. neighborhoop to get THE KING Miss Helen MacOoskey, the flying society girl of 1301 Inverness street, who has several women's air marks to her credit, will taking off 'again soon, thi time into matrimony.

Caddies of St Clair Country Club, Washington road, are on strike again they are asking for another raise and golfers yesterday and Saturday carried their own bags from tee to green, a practice that is fast becoming a custom at the club, Less than a year ago the cad dies were given a raise of from 75 cents to a dollar for 18 holes after a short strike, members said. Now they are striking for $1.25 for 18 holes and 65 cents for nine, it was announced. About 250 caddies are affected by the strike, which will be a "fight to the finish," for members indicated they would not give in to the demands, saying they woUld rather carry their own golf bags.

A crowd of 150 boys picketed the entrance to the club yesterday and that, it was said, tended to discourage golfers from bringing their own caddies with them and thus lessened the possibility of fist fights. Club officials said the first they knew there was to be a strike was Saturday morning when they received a letter from the strike leaders, numbering 10 boys, making the demands. None of the caddies came to work Saturday morning. TO REVIEW PITT'S 150-YEAR HISTORY Open Meeting of Historical Society To Be Held Tomorrow Night.

The five-point research program calls for studies at Saranac Laboratory, Harvard School of Public Health, University of Pennsylvania Hospital, Singer Memorial Laboratory, and Mellon Institute, and for work in co-operation with the United States Bureau of Mines.

Brown started the car again, but it stalled the second time just when it reached the track. Before Brown could leap out, the locomotive struck the car and hurled it 20 yards, crushing Kenneth's toy wagon. The fact that the boy left the toy to watch the disabled car probably saved him from injury or possible death. Brown is in critical condition in the Charleroi-Monessen Hospital.

Autos claimed 32 lives in Pittsburgh traffic accidents the first four months of 1937, a decline of 11 per cent for the same period in 1936 and the lowest four-month toll in 15 years in the records of the bureau of traffic planning. The decrease was achieved in spite of an increase in accidents and a greater severity per individual accident, the bureau reported. The decline in deaths here is noteworthy considering there was a 26 per cent increase in traffic fatalities in the nation and a 45.8 per cent gain in the state fcr the first first three months of 1937. Improved enforcement of ths motor vehicle code and "tags that can't be fixed" are held by the bureau as responsible for the record. It points out that 64.4 per cent cf those tagged for driving violations in the four months this year have been fined.

Last year in the same period only 16.7 per cent of the motorists tagged for similar violations had to pay fines. Decoration Day USED CAR SALE See Today's POST-GAZETTE WANT ADS i i '1.
