Roosevelt's . return from a Georgia vacation shifted Stormless Day Expected Although It May Be , Somewhat Cloudy, Forecast Hints Nassau residents had bes t prepare for chilly weather in their new Easter finery if the best predictions of local fore- casters prove true. The Easter week-end w as ushered in today with the mercury at Mitchel field standing at 25.8 degrees, snow flur- ries in the air, ice on the ponds, and threats of cloudy weather to follow in the wake of the 55-mile-an-hour gale which hit the eastern seaboard during the night. Clear Day, All Hope Official forecasts for tomorrow were not available late this morn- ing but rising barometric pressure held out hopes of stormless, if not clear, conditions. Temperature movements indicated that the mercury will reach between 45 and 50 degrees tomorrow. Fair skies today with mottled » clouds and rising temperatures the center today of government encouraged Easter holiday travel. discussions . of | sit-down | strikes from the halls of congress to the white house. In the wake of Secretary Per- kins's assertion that sit-down ob- jectives \are the usual objectives of unions in labor disputes,\ con- gressional leaders were invited to go to the president's oval office soon after his arrival this morning for individual conferences on the| labor situation. No Radical Change Seen The labor department head, in a letter replying to criticisms of Representative . McCormack (D., ass.), said last night she thought her duty to declare: \Careful inquiry indicates the sit-down strikes do not reflect any widespread movement to de:. the law or impair civil government or change «\current , conceptions . of property rights.\ Vice President Garner made public a few hours earlier a tele- gram from A. Lawrence Lowell, president - emeritus of Harvard university, and six other Boston- ians who said in regard to sit- down strikes: \Armed insurrection - defiance of law, order and duly elected authority-is spreading like wild- fire. Lowell Predicts Anarchy \If armed groups can seize premises illegally, hold indefinite- ly; refuse admittance to owners and managers; resist by violence and threatened bloodshed all at- tempts to dislodge them; intimi- date properly constituted authority to the point of impotence, then freedom and liberty are at an end, government becomes a mockery, | superseded by anarchy, mob rule! and ruthless dictatorship.\ LANSING, Mich., March 27-| (P)-Peace prospects brightened | today with continuation of nego- tiations between opposing leaders the Chrysler corporation's dis- te with the United Automobile Workers of America. The conference-seeking a satis- factory answer to the union's de- mand for recognition as the sole bargaining agency for the corpo- ration's 67,000 employees - was scheduled for a three or four-day adjournment at noon yesterday, Instead, it was continued nine hours beyond that time and then adjoutned only overnight. It was recalled into session at 10 a. m. (E. S. T.) Murphy Reports Progress Governor Frank Murphy, who reported \progress was made\ yes- terday, declined to say change of adjournment pl to extend the parley a day and a half meant asettlement was imminent. He did say, however,-Not a Neither. Walter P. Chrysler, chairman of the Chrysler corpo- ration, nor John L; Lewis, head of the committee for industrial or- ganization, ranking generals in opposing camps, commented after yesterday's sessions, Both were red to leave for an: York ton! and to “mu necessary. y reiterated that the \conference my“. until a settlement is Train, bus and airlines reported accelerated travel, by home-goers from business and college centers. The Easter cold wave threat- ened the previous record of 20 de- grees reached in 1873-giving the feeling a n d appearance of | Christmas to the usually warm spring holidays. South shore resi- dents of Nassau may expect tem- peratures upwards of five degrees warmer than mainland sections of the metropolitan area, while cen- ter island residents will be warm- er by two degrees, weather rec- ords indicate. BATHTUB FALL FATAL Lynbrook Woman Succumbs To Accident Injuries A fractured skull suffered by Mrs. Mary Carney Mulligan, 32, of 230 Atlantic avenue, Lynbrook, in a bathtub fall two weeks ago re- sulted in her death at South Nas- sau Communities hospital yester- day. Mrs. Mulligan was removed to the hospital when her condition failed to improve after several days of treatment by a physician at home. She lapsed into a coma Wednesday and never regained consciousness. Whoa! Ginger! | Cops Corral Them Horses | Out Thar On Turnpike; ‘ Yes Siree! Yipee! With horses.-and automobiles running wild along Jericho turnpike at Old Country road last night, two Garden City ra- dio cars which were called to the scene to unscramble the me- lee found it necessary to hold the frisky flvvers in check, rather than to tame the timid mustangs. The horses appeared amidst the cars when a carload of sad- die mounts was being unloaded from a railroad siding by em- ployées of the Riley Riding sta- bles on the north side of the turnpike. All went well as the first batch of horses was led across the turnpike, but when the second group started over the concrete, a fractious car ap- peared, and several of the ani- mals, made skittish by the cold weather and their long ride from Colorado, bolted. Patrolmen Frank Holton and John Brooks sped to the scene in radio cars after a call reached the desk at police headquarters. Although their lasso arms itched for «action, the' cops heeded the orders with which they had been dispatched. They dismounted, held up traffic in both directions, and gave the stables\ workers an opportunity to corral the bolting animals. Jake Gets Goat But Discovers It Is His Own After Making Bid Of \Buck\ The Freeport municipal stadium has a Tnscot today, with no \ifs\ or \ands\ but plenty of \butts\ attached. |_ Jake Kedenburg, chairman of the park commission, has a large-sized headache. Jake got somebody's goat yesterday and the general consensus of the village is that it is his own, both literally and figuratively. Jake insists he smells a plot, but Village Clerk Howard E. Pearsall says it's the goat. Village police picked up the hircine quadruped several months ago. It was lodged in | Jake Roeper's dog pound at Valley Stream while Clerk Pearsall observed the legal technicalities of advertising for the owner. But no owner showed up and yesterday, Clerk Pearsall went through the motions of the auction that is required by law to get rid of the animal, No bidders appeared. I \Ill give you .a buck for ! him,\ said Jake, standing by in the role of an innocent by- |_ stander. | \Sold said Auctioneer Pearsall, bringing down his |_ hammer in the traditional auctioneer's gesture. Now: Jake's .wondering where he'll put the beast. According to law, he must take him today. WAGNER ACT RULING SEEN-LIKELY MONDAY Court Justices Possible Pre- Inde To Decision On Labor WASHINGTON: March 27-P) -The weekly secret conference of the supreme court justices fur- [nished a prelude today to a pos- sible decision Monday on consti- tutionality of the hotly-disputed Wagner labor relations act. The nine justices at their regu- lar Saturday meetings discuss pending litigation and agree on what to do about it. No announce- ment is made after the conference. The ruling on the Wagner act, which guarantees collective bar- gaining to workmen, probably will be the court's major pronounce- ment this term. Senatbr Robinson, the Demo- cratic leader, has said the opinion is expected to furnish the key to the administration's policy on the current sit-down strikes. It was pointed out that the legal questions involved might be ex- tremely complex and difficulty an agreement among the nine members. It was said a separate opinion in \each of the five cases involving the act might be re- quired. The Wagner legislation gives a labor organization the right, when it has a majority, to select repre- sentatives to negotiate with em- ployers on wages, hours of~labor and working conditions, The Week-End Edition One Section, 24 Pages ing feature of the week-end That section of the county known as \the Branch,\ with which too many Nassauites are unfamiliar, is the subject of today's historical sketch, each week an outstand- edition, \The Branch\ had a stirring beginning and has enjoyed ,an existence crammed full of exciting happenings.

Jes- sup, commanding officer of the Lawrence police department and a veteran New York city police- man, today resigned from the or- ganization. ® A strong supporter of the as- sociation when it was formed, Captain Jessup cited a trend, towards politics, manifested pare ticularly, he said, in current op- position to the Herman bill for regulating the merger of village departments, as inspiring his de- cision to sever connections with the organization, composed of of- ficers in Nassau village and city departments. Calls Group \Rash\ \The association and the Nas- sau county police conference af- fillated with it have been guilty of rash acts in my opinion,\ Cap- tain Jessup said. He cited as an example a cartoon appearing in a Lynbrook weekly newspaper depicting Chief Abram W. Skid- more of the Nassau county police as a king placing policemen from village departments on the auc- tion. block of «demotion. \As a matter of fact, I believe the clause in the Herman bill leaving the discretion of accept- ing village department officers to the police commissioner entire- ly proper,\ Captain Jessup said. \All of us know that there are certain departments in this coun- ty where making a county patrol man out of the chief would in reality -mean a promotion.\ ~~ Captain Jessup said an editori- al in yesterday's Nassau Daily Review-Star captioned \Nassau's Mexican Army,\ squarely hit the mail on the head. The editorial pointed out that the 32 village departments in Nassau have 116} officers to 289 patrolmen. Merit The Measure, He Bays \There is no question that the only proper and just way for the county to take in departments with such a ratio of men to of- ficers is to accept the officers strictly on their merits,\ the Lawrence executive stated. The Superior Officers associa- tion made a cardinal error in aligning itself closely, through duplicating membership, with the Nassau county police conferente, also composed of village depart- ment members, Captain Jessup asserted. \This police conference started as a social order, then changed to a benevolent association, and finally wound up as a political organization,\ he stated. \ it and the Superior Officers' as- Continued on Page 24, Col. 5 Car- Plunges Off Parkway Bridge Lill Car Turns Turtle In Long Plunge To Parkway ONLY ONE HURT Driver Goes To Hospital; Second Machine Forces Students Off Road Six high school students from prominent families, cele- brating the Easter holidays, narrowly escaped death early this morning when the new \all steel\ sedan in which they were riding catapulted 25 feet from an overhead bridge on North Village avenue, Rock- ville Centre, onto the South- ern State parkway. Only one of the occupants, the driver, remained in a hospital later this morning, although the car was badly wrecked after tearing through 50 feet of wood and con- crete fence, tearing out concrete bridge stairs, landing wheels up on the parkway pavement and then bouncing to an upright posi- tion, blocking the right of way. Driver In Hospital James Roe, Jr., 19, of 40-11 218th street, Bayside, said by po- lice to have been the operator of the car which was owned by his father, is recovering from a pos- sible fractured collar bone and 1m: injuries at the Nassau hos» pital. Miss Barbara Frothingham, 18, of 74 Valley road, Plandome, was given emergency treatment for lacerations at the Nassau hospital. She was immediately released and went home. Other occupants, uninjured ex» cept for a bad shaking up were: Sue Waller of 521 West 112th street, New. York -eity; Virginia Martgraf of 45 Gaynor avenue, Manhasset; Cecil Moore of 216-39 31st road, Bayside, and Robert Ogilvie of 26 Douglaston parkway, Dougiaston, Passersby, believing that all oc- cupants of the car had been killed In the plunge, sent emergency calls to the state police at Valley Stream. Corporal Ray Davis and Troopers Walter Hutchens and John Baker responded They found all but Roe were able to walk. Occupants of the car reported that another car had passed them on the right as they were driving north from the direction of Rock- ville Centre toward Hempstead on North Village avenue. The other car, equipped with dazzling bright headlights was careening dizzily and at high speed, occupants re- ported, forcing their car off the shoulder of the highway about 80 feet from the bridge. Roe's car first struck the guard fence, tearing away several feet of the structure. It then struck the bridge abutment and fences, pieces of which were found more than 100 feet from the point of impact, across the parkway. Troopers investigating the crash said they believed that the Roe car somersaulted when it struck the concrete steps of the bridge abut« ment, striking the embankment with such force that it bounced to an upright position across the westbound traffic lane on the parkway. Occupants of the wrecked car said that they had been visiting on the South Shore earlier in the evening and were headed for Manhasset when the accident o¢« curred. All-stee! construction of the car and use of shatter-proof ' glass throughout probably saved the lives of the young people, po» lee reported. The wrecked. car was towed to Seidier's garage in Valley Stream, Troopers r that no court action is contem» plated and that the second car In« volved could not be identified.
