XLIII No. 46 EVEN LARGER VOTE MARGIN SEEN LIKELY Clark Raps Measure As Tantamount To 'War Declaration' WASHINGTON, Feb. British Aid bill whelming majority,\ Senator day, it will be tantamount to \\a declaration of war.\ © \Don't be alarmed,\ he add- ed with broad sarcasm.. \It won't be called that. We call it, I think, a 'lease-lend' bill!\ Clark assailed the legislation in an address prepared for senate de- livery as the general debate moved into its seventr day. Concedes Its Approval Britain, he asserted, was fight- ing, for \commercial supremacy,\ not democracy. \German Nazism, Italian Fasc- ism, Russisn Communism, and arm-a Imperialism; there is mg: distinguish them.\ That was verdict on | ideologies. Clark viewed the lend bill a#-an instrument that would en- \the president to conduct an war in the world,\ and \said ~that 1. jeopardize \our previous Hbertics.\ Although declaring that the bill \is war\ and thst he would vote against. it for that reason, the Idahoan conceded that it would receive senate approval. An Associated Press poll of the chamber showed that the admin- istration could count on at least 52 ~votes for the measure-four more than now constitutes a ma- 'The poll results: For the bill-51 (46 Democrats, Five Republicans, one Indepen- dent). Against 'the bill -- 20° (eight Democrats, 11 Republicans, one Progressive). Uncommitted - 21 crats, 11 Republicans). Unavailable-2 (one Democrat and one Republican). Some of those who asked to be reported \uncommitted\ said pri- vately they would vote for the bill. Others of the same group said they would approve it if some amend- ments were adopted. Amendments Considered Administration leaders said to- day they still were considering various amendments, but that they had not yet committed themselves to accept any. The resumption of debate found the bill's backers revising. their hopes of getting a final senate vote by Thursday or Friday, and then quick house approval of. senate changes so that the 'legislation could be delivered to President Roosevelt by the week-end. \You know how it is with the senate,\ one administration leader commented. \Things:; always happen later than they are sup» posed to.\ This leader looked for debate to continue through Friday, whes an arrangement m;y be reached for a vote next Monday or Tuesday. Clark, lead-off man for another series of opposition speeches on the bill, asserted in his prepared address that Great Britain \is fighting for precisely the same thing she fought for a thousand years: commercial supremacy.\ \She has a right to do this,\ he continued, \if she wants to kill her sons to preserve the riches of her empire. \That is her affair, certainly not ours.\ Saying it was \beside the point\ to discuss whether. Germany should ~have invaded Poland: or whether Britain should have de- clared war: on Germany, Clark added that the British \undertook to starve the Germans into sub- mission,\ with the blockade. \They miscalculated, and> are now in a devil of a fix. And that is about all there is to this war, England didn't declare war in the name of democracy, and she didn't declare it to have Poland, because almost at the same time another dictator by the name of Stalin also invaded Poland with his armies, took the half that Hit- ler didn't take, and England not only did not declare war on Rus- sia, but she has been cuddling up to Stalin ever since, (10 Demo- but .it. is (P)-If the senate gives the} ''an over-|| Clark (D.-Idaho) declared to- | Assails Bill irr am SENATOR D.

Bennett in the legislature. Plan In Committee Assemblyman Bennett said that after a conference with the village counsels of Rockville Centre, Free- port and Hempstead, the proposed amendment had been altered to provide for setting up local hous- ing authorities prior to referen- flums on the proposals. The crea- on -of local housing authorities would permit the village to seek state .and federal aid in slum elearance and low cost housing projects. The proposed amend- ment is now before a legislative committee. ' Several measures relating to Nassau-villages and sought by the Nassau County Village Officials' association have been brought out of committee at Albany and onto the floor during the past week. These include a bill to validate East Rockaway tax. sales; a meas- ure to permit village clerks to carry out tax assessments from the assessment rolls; and a bill to re- duce the interest rate on tax pen- alties from one per cent. to one- half of one per cent. per month after the first month. About 25 bills sought by the county board of supervisors are being introduced by Assemblymen Bennett and Norman F. Penny, the former disclosed. The bills relate to administration of the county government.

TANEL HEMY, ACCIDENT LST HELO TO EIGHT Two Drivers Sought In Mishaps Involving Pedestrians With only eight persons on the casualty list and none of them seriously hurt, high- way traffic in Nassau sur- vived the holiday week-end comparatively unscathed despite heavy travel on all main arteries and parkways. Two men were arrested, however, on charges of drunken driving and two other drivers are being sought for leaving the scene of mishaps in which pedes- trians were hurt. Cop Hurt In Crash Among the injured is Patrolman Joseph Dorsch, attached to Nas- sau county police headquarters in Mineola, who was cut about the head when his private machine was in collision with a parked car in Hempstead, last night. -He was treated .at. Meadowbrook hospital. A Lynbrook couple was hurt when their brand new car crashed into the-rear end of a milk truck on Sunrise highway at Ocean avenue, Lynbrook, early yesterday morning. 'The couple, Russell Raynor and his wife, Dorothy, were treated at, South Nassau Communities hospital, Oceanside, while the truck driver, Stephen M. Harvey, who was also injured, was removed to his home in Val- ley Stream. The combination of the holiday and brisk, but bright weather, swelled the tide of traffic consid- erably, Thousands thronged the boardwalk at Jones beach and a steady stream of cars moved along the Southern State and Belt park~ ways yesterday. The temperature reached a high of 40 degrees yesterday afternoon, according to the weather bureau at Mitchel field, dropping back to a minimum of 24.8 degrees early this morning before starting to climb again. The latest forecast is for clear weather today and to- morrow, with increasing coludi- ness and warmer temperatures in- dicated for tomorrow night, the bureau said.

HAS HUSBAND ARRESTED John Walsh, 42, of 77 Carukin street, Franklin Square, is being held by county police today, pend- ing his trial on charges of beating his wife, Florence, at their home Saturday night. Walsh was ar- rested on his wife's complaint by fifth precinet police at about 9:45 p m., Saturday. When Nassau's first planning commission is appointed some time this year, it may find itself spang in the middl@ of a problem of a magnitude which may not have even been imagined by the \founding fathers\ who created this county's present form of charter government. It is possible that those who de- cided upon this commission did not fully realize that long before it was created, the character of Nassau county, as essentially, a \playground\ of the east, might suddenly be on the verge of change. Dobson Proposes Plan A plan, whith would create an industrial zone on both sides of the Long Island railroad from the eastern boundary line of Mineola, eastward past the county line and into Suffolk, has now been pro- posed to the people of Nassau from the sanctum of Meade C. Dobson, managing director of the Long Island association. If Nassau had a planning com- mission many of the intricacies of this new proposal would be elim- inated even before they had come up. The commission would have its master plan, and the projec- tors of the industrial belt would Editor's note: The world large Ihas long thought of Long IslAng) principally as a place wher@ the wealthy lived in baronial estates, and as a play- groun@ for devotees of polo, golf, «Mox hunting and other sports, and perchance as a somewhat populous, but not very area of country clubs and suburban homes.

As it ds, the town of Oyster Bay, which 'Would have the greatest concern with the industrial belt, has, so far, heard nothing official- ly about it, and the building in- spector of the town, who generally is the first functionary to handle such matters, has not even read the preliminary: refeases on the project. Tour Of The Terrain The Dobson plan is essentially one of promotion and it is likely, by the time the county planning commission comes into being, this promotion will have been started. Consultation with municipal planning agencies is only one part of the ambitious project which the Long Island associatfon has pro- pounded. Before going into a con- sideration of the industrial belt plan, let me take you on a tour along the Long Island railroad's main line, to set the scene for the Continued on Page i, Col. 4 1 Joe's Transfer, Glen Cove, where the robbers drove up in a truck similar to those used by the firm, smashed their way into the office and drove off. with a 500-pound safe unobserved. Jewelry and cash amounting to $50 was taken in a break at East Rockaway and in Freeport a bur- glar fled empty-handed after he had broken into a gas station, Ap- parently he had been frightened off by cars passing the station, police said. Used Truck Like Victim's No suspicion was aroused when the burglars drove up to the Glen Cove moving firm, police said, be- cause the company's trucks oper- ate at frequent intervals day and night. The thieves were believed to have used a truck similar to those in use by the transfer com- pany. Such a truck was said to have been near the offices during the night. Owners of the firm said the break had occurred unnoticed some time Saturday 'or early yes- terday morning. The robbers carted off the safe, which contained $300 in cash, a cashier's check for $250 and an- other check payable to a J. Clark for $24.75. Up to this morning, Glen Cove police said no trace of the men had been found. The theft of $40 in jewels and $10 in cash from the home of John A. Rothaug at 24 Waverly avenue, East Rockaway, was discovered last night after Chris Schratwelser of 80 Clinton avenue, East Rock- away, reported the finding of a tin box in the road at Grant and Scranton avenues, East Rockaway. Window Forced Tracing the papers to Mr. Rothaug, Patrolman Herbert Car- ter went to the Rothaug home to investigate, He found no one at home, but discovered a rear bath- room window had been forced open and the house ransacked. Mr. Rothaug later reported that $10 in bill and a- bracelet and other jewelry valued at $40 were miss- ing. Police believe the burglars threw away the tin box leaving in it contents they regarded as un- salable. The burglary is believed to have occurred shortly before the discovery of the box at 8:25 p. m. yesterday. Apparently scared off by pass- ing traffic, a burglar who broke into the Airflight Service station at Merrick road and Liberty ave- nue, Freeport, early Saturday, got nothing for his trouble, a check-up revealed. Edward Corser, attendant at the station, found that two rear win- dows had been forced open when he opened up Saturday morning and reported the break to police.
