While the treasury awaited the d tai: reports, house and senate leaders clashed over meth- ods of reducing next year's budg- ot. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the mocratic - leader, . joined those demanding a flat cut of 10 per: cent. in all 1938 appropria- tone. Leaders of the \economy bloc\ with whom he thus associated himself challenged the declara- thom of speaker Bankhead (D.- .) that President Roosevelt fa- ed a proposal for leaving the responsibility for cutting costs in his hands. Rep. Cannon (D.-Mo.) had suggested that 15 per cent. of every department's appropria- tion be impounded, to be released in whatever amount the president saw At. Senators Raise Issue Senators contended the presi- dent had taken no part in the dis= pute over whether the cut should be made by congress or the chief executive. Senator Byrnes (D., S.

Johnson, in Nas- sau county court, yesterday. Bruno Bielanski of East Meadow, was acquitted on such a charge when the tales- men decided he was incapable of driving on April 16. Police charged that Biclan- ski was one of two men occu- pying an automobile in an ac- cident on that date at the East Meadow firehouse. Testifying in his own de- fense, Bielanski said he was so drunk he was asleep dur- ing the incident. He told the jury that his friend, and own- er. of the car, 'David Arnott was driving it at the timg of the accident. Arnott, sum- moned as a state's witness, denied that he was operating the car. Adolph Horowitz of Mine- ola, counsel for Biclanski, contended that no one. saw Bielanski in the driver's seat and that police did not arrest the defendant until after they had called at his home, some time after the crash. ruffifiofimo Judgeship Here (Special io The Review.Star) ALBANY, April 30, Little hope is held by Nassau's for a second county judge, ymmhubmh-ummmnm in the senate since is was submit- representatives for the bill provid. | inston ACCIDENTS SHO BIG RISE HERE 1 IST QUARTER 37 McCahill's Report Blames Mild Winter Weather For The Increase FATAL CRASHES DROP ONE POINT HOWEVER Grade Crossing Mishaps Are Also Fewer Here, Survey Reveals «Automobile accidents in Nassau in the first three months of this year increased 50 per cent. over the corresponding period of last year, Inspector Frank E. McCa-| hill reported today to Chief Abram W. Skidmore. | Weather Blamed | \The increase in auto accidents | can be partially accounted for by | comparing weather and street conditions during the same period of 1936,\ said McCahill. \The | winter elements prohibited the) free use of the streets, which for | many weeks during 1936 were covered with snow and ice, while during the same period in 1937 the open winter left the streets free, which resulted in a greater number of cars being used,\ Accidents increased from 1,060 the +RI: year, - although - fatalities dropped from 15 to 14 in the same period. The number of persons | injured in these accidents jumped from 260 to 377. Grade crossings accidents; in- volving trains and autos, de- creased from five to th while lestrian _ accidents eased 80 to 114. Increases | Studied Increases in various types of accidents were shown in the fol- lo percentages: collision with pedestrian, 56 per cent; with other motor vehicle, 19.5 per cent.; with bicycle, 32 per cent.; with fixed object, 22.2 per cent. Decreases reported were: col- lision with railroad train, 40 per cent.; with horsedrawn vehicle, 83 per cent. and non-collision ac- cidents, 20 per cent, Inspector McCahill commented as follows on the statistics: \With the present set-up within the county, we find it difficult | properly to educate the driver to | comply - with - the - regulations, which, however, have improved to some extent during the past year. For one unit of enforcement to show any material gain under the present set-up, is almost impos- sible. All Killed Were Adults \I refer to the 73 governmental units in the county. having to do with, and the power to regulate, the movement of vehicular traffic on the streets and highways; in a county of 274 square miles and 1,046 miles of state, county and town highways.\ 'The report showed that all those killed were adults of more than 25 years of age and most of those injured were in the same class. Of 909 drivers involved, 690 were male and 182 female, the sex of 37 not being reported. Only 16 drivers were reported drunk. Of all- the accidents, 270 were in bright daylight, the remainder in dusk or darkness hours.

Seversky plant and Grumman Aircraft Engineering corporation at Bethpage attended a meeting called by the CIO in Mineola Wednesday night, no in- terest in the i by spokesmen of the union was announced. Philip Shays, personnel man- ager of the Seversky corporation, speaking, it was announced, for | Vice-President F. W. Zelcer, stated the \management has no objection or comments on the joining of its workers with any type of union they want. The company is will- ing to provide a decent living for men in return for the workers' services in manufacturing air- planes,\ he told the Review-Star. The management of Seversky, the factory which in the past two years has grown to a plant em- ploying more than 1,100 men, de- nied it received any notification from the CIO of the meeting held at Mineola. Spokesmen for the workers of the plant said their notices were received through handbills dis- tributed and small invitation cards | received the day of the session. Curious Answer Call Describing the CIO meeting, one employee said, \we went down to Mineola, more out of curiosity than any thing. else, to the Roose- velt Field hotel. The place was al- ready reserved by a private party so the meeting was held in O'Brien's 'place across the street. There were a few men from Sev- ersky, and Grumman present, but the most of them came from Queens county. « \The meeting was announced as an organization session for an Aircraft Workers' union, but when we got there the speakers for the CIO started to talk about joining the automobile worker's union. They told the Review-Star they could find little unison between the aims of the automobile industry employeed and their own prob- lems as aircraft workers.

But last night they would not touch it because a snake never dies until after sundown, head or no head. That's the situation at 1 School street and vicinity in West Hempstead today, except that the novelty of playing with a four and a half foot adder, poisonous variety, has worn off by now. The snake made its spring appearance late yesterday aft- erncon, coming out of hiber- nation beneath the garage of Daniel Breitbart. Edward Peters, a gardener, saw it out of the corner of his eye, sighed a little at its winter leanness, and struck with his spade. Off came its head, and then Mr. Peters drew the rest of the body into the open. \I felt kind of sorry for it,\ said Mr. Peters, \it was so thin. But I thought of the women folks and how the snake might get fatter in time, so I let him have it.\ Mr. Peters caught two last fall in East Rockaway, so he's an old hand at the sport. He says there are few of the ad- der variety in this section.
