Although his resolution was defeated , Supervisor John N. Brennan won p laudits Monday for his earnest and forceful ad- vocacy of W. K. Stacy ' s water survey proposal. Urged Water Survey Claims Water Plan Would Be i ( Consumer Aid Development of the water re- I sources of Suffolk County by the Suffolk Water Authority under Chapter 847 of the Laws of 1934 would not onl y erect a barrier against encroachment but would ultimately save the residents of this county many thousands of dollars in water charges and would permit extensive , low-cost irrigation of farm lands , it was indicated Mon- day b y County Attorney Edgar F. Hazleton during the debate on the $250 , 000 survey proposal at the meeting of the Board of Super- visors. In answer to a question put by Supervisor Perry B. Duryea ot East Hampton , County Attorney Hazle- ton , said: \Mr. Macy ' s position , undoubted- ly, is instead of permitting New York City to come in here and take our water , to develop it ourselves (Please turn to Page 3 , Col. 2) Tax Land Plan Is Profi ta ble By the end of June , Suffolk County will have collected approxi- mately $225 , 000 in bach taxes , pen- alties and interest as a result of the action of the Board of Super- visors in directing County Attorney Edgar F. Hazleton to perfect mar- ketable title to the more valuable of the thousands of properties upon which the county holds tax liens. \To date , we have perfected or are about to perfect titles to prop- erties of a total assessed value of $483 , 000 , \ Mr. Hazleton told the Board of Supervisors Monday. \By the end of June , we will have col- lected $225 , 000 in redemptions. \ As an example of how the work is carried out , Mr . Hazleton cited a property near the site of the pro- posed Smith' s Point bridge at Mas- tic which is assessed at $100, 000 and upon which taxes and other ehaiges amounting to $25 , 000 are due the county. \I want to hold that property in- tact for the county, \ said Hazleton. \We believe that property will be worth $200 , 000. \ Supervisor Dennis G. Homan , Riverhead Democrat , gave Mr. Hazleton ' s operations unqualified endorsement and a resolution ap- propriating $5 , 961.81 , to cover a bill submitted by the Greater New York-Suffolk Abstract Corporation of Riverhead , who have been searching titles for the county, was unanimously approved.

Potatoes A survey of potato farmers and dealers by the Suffolk Farm Bu- reau ' s potato committee has re- sulted in the abandonment of plans , to advertise Long Island potatoes this season , states the April issue of the Farm Bureau News. Sixty percent of the farmers in- terviewed by the committeemen were either opposed to advertising or were unwilling to contribute one cent per 100 pounds , which is the plan followed in Maine. Dealers , too , gave the project a cold recep- tion. \Most of the dealers favored ad- vertising Long Island potatoes but a majority of those called on said they would not ';ontribute to its cost , \ the News reports. \Most of the dealers were unfavorable to do- ducting a cent cf a fraetior! of » cent per 100 pounds from each farmer ' s checks. \ The committee estimated that ni least $25 , 000 would be required to finance an effective campaign. Long Island potatoes , however may still be advertised in (lie form of an exhibit at the World' s Fair. The committee has vote d to make such an exhibit , providing sufficient funds can be secured from the growers to defray the cost. Contri- butions of from $5 to $10 from each grower would be solicited. Members of the committee are Herman Aldrich , Sound Avenue , chairman; Ferris G. Talmage , East Hampton , vice chairman; J . C. Corwith , Water Mill; Edwin L. Donahue , Southold; Everett A. Hal- sey, Water Mill: John Johnson , Huntington; Joseph Ruskowski , Calverton; N , A. Talmage, Baiting Hollow ; Rufus W. Tuthill, Orient , and John Wickham , Cutchogue . Guilty Pleas Clea r County Court Docket District Attorney Fred J. Mtmder attained a record unique in the annals of Suffolk County criminal justice this week wiien of the many cases set down for trial in the Count y Court all but three were disposed of. Records of the court clerk show that 28 defendants entered pleas of guilty, that the one ease that went to trial resulted in a conviction that that three cases were postponed at the request of defense attorneys , during the first three days of the week. This record is all the most re- markable in that few reductions in charges were granted—those being in favor of minors and first offend- ers—and that the majority of those who entered guilty pleas pleaded to the indictments as returned b y the grand jury. Seventeen cases were listed on Monday ' s trial calendar and sixteen of them were disposed of by p leas. The seventeenth was concluded the next day when Lawrence Taylor , bank robber , pleaded to first degree robbery. Among those who entered pleas Monday were Taylor ' s com- rades in crime , Charles Rickleff and Fulton. Among other defendants whose cases were concluded on Monday before Judge L. Barron Hill were: Pasquale Miranda , 16 , and Patsy .Uos- sia , 1'/ , Huntington golf caddies , who pleaded guilty to third degree burglary. Thoy were each given one year in the county jail but execution of tne sentence Wa5 suspended and ITiey were placed on probation for Iwo years, in passing sen- tence on the two youths , who admitted burglarizing several Huntington stores , Judge Hill called their attention to the (Please turn to Page 8 , Col.

The sixth annual Long Island Regional Conference on Social Work for Nassau and Suffolk coun- ties was held Tuesday in Robbins Hall , Central Islip, with Irving Wil- liams , Suffolk County Commissioner of Public Welfare , presiding. Strong co-ordination between the layman end the social agency was especially stressed at the morning session , while the afternoon was devoted in the main to lectures on health , hygiene and the relation- ship between the local and the state agencies. Henry R. Talmage , prominent lo- cal farmer and a member of the Governor ' s Agricultural Advisory Commission was among those who addressed the meeting. He drew a graphic picture of the employer ' s changing problem from his own ex- perience in the past forty years , stating that potatoes for seven out of the past ten years have been grown on Long Island without profit According to Mr. Talmage , the average WPA wage 50 cents an hour and the farmer able to pay no more than 30 , the farmers are unable to compete. Offers Suggestions Mr. Talmage offered several sug- gestions to better social conditions in the county. Besides proposing that the WPA wage scale be dropped lower than private indus- try ' s , he advocated sterilization of the unfit , wider birth control knowledge , payment of farm help on a yearly basis, a loosing of red tape to permit the ready return to WPA rolls of a man who has taken a temporary job , an active free em- ployment bureau , and government [ purchases of surpluses for free dis- I tributiori to the needy. I W. Kingsland Macy, delegate to I the Constitutional Convention , also I a speaker at the morning session , I expressed ilia firm opinion that wel- fare administration is something in which politics should play no part. On the other hand he urged that everyone participate in govern- ment to the fullest extent. Other speakers at the meeting included James E. Stiles , publisher Nassau Daily Review; James W.

A .spokesman for the petitioners said yesterday that the voters of Polish descent constitute nearly 40 per cent of the residents of the Riverhead school district and that they are entitled to representation. \Instead of precipitating a fight at the meeting and attempting to unseat one or more of the present trustees , we believe it would be a wise move to increase the member- shi p of the board , \ he said. \There has been no increase in member- ship in 25 years although the duties of the trustees have become more For a Complete Coverage Of Important Happenings Read The County Revietv r — t— Advertising Messages in The County Revietv Bring The Results You Look For numerous and onerous.

The ends of justice were served and Suffolk County was saved thousands of dollars this week when three more men implicated in the robbery ot the Mattituck Na- tional Bank & Trust Company on March 11 were sentenced to long terms in Sing Sfng Prison follow- ing their pleas of guilty to robbery before County Judge L. Barron Hill. So strong were the cases built against them by District Attorney Fred J. Munder that Charles \Dutch Charlie \ Rickleff , Joseph Fulton and Lawrence Taylor elect- ed to enter pleas , as their two com- panions in crime , William J. Hoj- enski and Salvatore Graggagnino , had already done . The debonair , self-possessed Rickleff , who looks more like a banker than e. bank robber , and the rat-faced Fulton , last of the gang to be caught, pleaded guilty to robbery in the second degree Monday morning and were imme- diately sentenced to serve 15 to 30 years in Sing Sing at hard labor. Both were sentenced as second of- fenders and it is understood that Fulton must serve an additional eight years for violation of parole. Taylor Changes Plea Taylor , who did not participate in the actual robbery of the bank but who assisted in planning the raid , harbored the bandits after the \job\ had been accomplished and received a #500 split in the division of the $« ,300 loot , entered a not guilty pit* Monday when the criminal calendar was called and his trial was set down for today (Thursday). Tuesday afternoon , following a conference between his attorney, J. Harry Saxstien and District Attorney Munder , Taylor pleaded to first degree robbery-and as a first offender was sentenced by Judge Hill to Sing Sing for not less than 10 nor ' more than 20 years. Tay lor , who is 34 , is a resident pf Laurel , is married and has four children. He served as guard at the county jail during the regime of his father , former Sheriff Ellis Taylor of Babylon.

Barron Hill under ' jieeret 20-nount grand larceny ^ 'Sitmint returned last Thursday by he jKareh Grand Jury. CohpBrj-Smith , who is a certified public Accountant , was represented by formed County Attorney Guy O. Walser ot the Bay Shore law firm of Robbins , Wells & Walser. On the grounds that he may move for an inspection of the grand jury minutes and that he had just been retained and therefore was not en- tirely familiar with what appears to oe a very involved case , Mr. Walser asked a postponement and trial was set down for Monday, May 2. Judge Hili fixed bail at ' $5,000 and a bond was furnished by a .surety company. Received Salary, Fees . Cooper-Smith was engaged as managing agent by the Riverhead Savings Bank , which is one of the largest and richest rural savings in- stitutions in the country, in 1934 and continued in that capacit y until some time in 1936. He was paid a monthly salary of $750 out of which he was to pay office expenses and the salaries of assistants. His con- tract with the bank also provided jtor the payment of a 10 per cent commission to him on all expendi- tures for the repair and mainten- ance of the bank' s many business and home properties in Queens County. It-j was Cooper-Smith' s duty to engage contractors to do the neces- sary operations of repair and re- novation. Estimates would be made for a job , the bank would advance the money, and the agent would later account for the expenditures by submitting vouchers to the bank.

Expan- sion and reorganization of the State Employment Service last December has made possible the registration of workers in every part of the state. The listing of job seeking farm workers is progressing in every locality. Each applicant is carefully classified as to his par- ticular knowledge and experience. All types of farm workers are re- gistered. \Nowadays \ , said Miss Stratton \ when a farmer wants to hire a man who knows dairy farming and who also understands the main- taining and repair of machinery, it is possible to select such applicants from our files and refer them to the employer. In every case the em- ploying farmer is provided with complete information as to the ability and experience of applicants By telephoning this office (our num- ber is Riverhead 3380) the employ- ing farmer can make advance ar- rangements for private interviews with app licants who will be called in for U'e meeting. \ All offices of the State Employ- ment Service are open from 8 to 8 every day except Sunday and holi- days.

Hunt Goes On For Hershaft No trace has yet been found of William Hershaft , 37 , of the Bronx , who is believed to have been drowned on Monday afternoon when the boat from which he and three companions were fishing cap- sized in Lloyd' s Harbor, despite constant search by police authori- ties and the Coast Guardsman . Hershaft and his friends were trowling off the Philip Roosevelt estate , Oyster Bay, when the boat was overturned by the shifting of position of its occupants. Shortly after 3.30 p. m. Sergeant John De- Forest of the Cove Neck Police of the Town of Oyster Bay phoned the Huntington Police that he had seen a boat capsized in the harbor. Patrolman Ellory Archer , who is familiar with those waters , and Frank Papalardo , son of Patsy Papalardo , of Cold Spring Harbor , who had rented the boat to the fishermen , set out to the scene. They found John Amber , 32 , of the Bronx and John Tough , 35 , of Brooklyn clinging to the overturned boat. A third member of the party, Anthony Sup, 30 , of Woodside, had finally succeeded in swimming ashore before the rescue boat ar- rived . Only one of the three rescued men was in any condition to talk , and it was from him that Archer learned that there was a fourth member in the party. Archer and Papalardo immedi- ately went out into the bay again to look for the missing man , searching until darkness overtook them but were unable to locate him. Since that time Coast Guard and police have co-operated in a con- tinual search for Hershaft , but as the Review goes to press , he has not been located.

The week before , Suffolk Repub- lican Chairman W. Kingsland Macy, who had previously submit- ted his resignation as chairman cf the authority, appeared before the board to call attention to additional signs of an impending water grab by New York City and to arse that the board take the steps outlined by Chapter 847 of the laws of 1934 to develop Suffolk' s water supply for the exclusive use of Suffolk. In no other way, said Mr. Macy, speaking not as a political leader or authority member but as a citizen and a taxpayer , could the county establish clear title to a re- source upon which the State Water Power and Control Commission has I placed a value of $1 , 250 , 000 , 000.
