Tydol to Launch Safety Crusade; Offers $50,000 for Driving Code Local drivers can share in the $50,000 cash prizes offered for safe driving rules according to the an- nouncement made at the dinner given by the Eastern Oil Corpora- tion , distributors for Tydol and Veedol Products , to their dealers on Monday nigh t at the Hotel Henry Perkins. In a sensational effort to turn back the mounting tide of auto deaths and injuries , local Tydol and Veedol dealers will cooperate in n new type of safety campaign or- ganized by the Tide Water Asso- ciated Oi! Company, from Ma\ 5 to Jul y 7. ' In announceing this groat hu- manitarian crux de , William S Whelan , Northeast, rn Regional Manager for Tide W iter Associated Oil Company said , \I am proud that my company, —your company gentlemen , have sponsored this movement for safety. We believe that this great educational cam- paign will go a long way towards making our highways safer. Ac- cording to the figures given by the National Safety Council there were 39 ,700 people killed in these United States during 1937. It is appalling when you stop to think that every 14 minutes that the clock ticks that some one is being killed , crippled and seriously injured on our hig h- ways. I feel that we in the oil busi- ness , the second largest business in our country, have a definite respon- sibility. \Right here in Suffolk County your own county, gentlemen , there were 98 people killed. In New York City which has no times the popula- tion of Suffolk County the number of fatalities was less than 10 times the number in Suffolk , figured pro- portionately. Think of !!- ' \Taking the six w;:rs that our country has been engaged in , in- cluding the World War, totaling IF years of conflict in all , there were 244 , 357 lives taken . And during the fifteen-year period from 1923 (o 1938 there were 441 , 912 persons killed on our highways. All due to negligence carelessness or over eagerness to get there. \How ran we help to put a stop to these fatalities? I believe that it can be done mostly through the letter \E\ , —engineering, enforce- ment and most important of all (Please turn to Page 2 , Col. 3) Advocates of Roadside Landscaping Ask County, State to Aid Campaign Cooperation of the road and bridge committee of the Board of Supervisors and of the county high - way department so far ' as funds permit and their jurisdiction ex- tends was promised the Suffolk Division of the Long Island Asso- ciation ' s Roadside Committee in the campaign to beautify Suffolk' s road- sides by Chairman Warren F Greenhalgh and Superintendent Hermon P. Bishop at the board' s meeting in Riverhead Monday. Mrs. Norman W. Baker of Green- lawn, county chairman of the com- mittee , spoke in support of a peti- tion filed in January urging the adoption of a county-wide improve- ment program. She urged that roadsides be cleaned up and land- scaped , that illegal billboards bo re- moved, that attractive directional signs be installed at intersection:! and that picnicking and parking areas be created. She appealed to the board to make the county fa- mous for its attractiveness. Signs a Town Matter Supervisor Greenhalgh pointed out that the county could landscape only county highways , having no jurisdiction over state highways or town roads. He suggested that u was up to the several towns to have the illegal billboards removed and Mrs. Baker intimated it would be brought to the attention of the town boards . Others in the delegation of road- side committee workers were Mrs. Joseph L. Townsend , Greenport; Miss Anna Bly denburgh and Mrs. Malcolm E. Smith , Smithtown Branch , and Mrs. M. N. Ammann. Mrs. Ira M. Young, Mrs. Hallock Luce Jr., and Mrs. Francis W Reeve, all of Riverhead. Mrs. Ammann and Mrs. Young , representing, respec tively, the Riverhead Garden Club and the Riverhead Woman ' s Club on the Suffolk Roadside Committee , con- ferred Monday noon with Edwin Clark , engineer of the State High- way Department. The Roadside Committee hopes to enlist the aid of the department in a project to landscape the approaches to the new bridge at Calverton. No defin- ite plan of action was adopted at this time but the Roadside Commit- tee will continue to be active in its campaign to beaut ify Suffolk County. Einstein Will S pend Season At Nassau Pt. The North Fork will entertain a distinguished visitor this summer in the person of Prof. Albert Ein- stein , German-Jewish scientist and mathematician and author of the much-discussed and little-under- stood theory of relativity. Ever since Prof. Einstein jour- neyed out on the island several weeks ago in search of a quiet place in which to spend the sum- mer , there have been reports that he had leased this or that house in one village or another. Yesterday, it was learned that he has taken the summer home of Dr. Paul C. Morton , New York physi- cian , on Muncie road , Nassau Point , near Cutchogue. In this compara- tively secluded one-story, stucco- finished California-t ype bungalow , which overlooks Peconic Bay, he will find sanctuary from summer heat and human curiosity from May 15 to about Sept. 15. Since he fled the Nazi terror sev- eral years ago and came to Ameri- ca , Prof. Einstein has made his home at Princeton , N. J. The will of Deoicbrio J . Menen- dez of Riverhead , who died on April 19 , bequeaths an estate valued at about $7 , 000 to Alice Menendez widow, who is named executrix . $60 , 000 Fund Provided For Skeeter Work Deeming the mosquito control work carried out during the pasi three years by the Suffolk Mos- quito Extermination Commission too fruitful to be abandoned at thio time , the Board of Supervisors on Monday appropriated $00 , 000 to maintain the hundreds of thousand* of feet of ditches that have been dug to drain marsh areas and tc meet other maintenance charges. The county appropriation wa: necessitated by the refusal of the Works Progress Administration to finance anything but new work. The WPA' s decision to withdraw al' work relief labor from maintenance operations was exclusively revealed by this newspaper several week* ago. Supervisor S. Wenlworth Horton introduced the resolution , after ex- plaining that if the county did no! provide for maintenance , the drain- age ditches would quickly \ revert to their natural state \ and the ben cfits of the control program would be lost. The resolution was adoptei ' by a vote of 9 to 1 , only Supervise: Dennis G. Homan of Riverhead dis- seating. The resolution authorizes Count} Treasurer John G. Peck to raise thi money on certificates of indebted- ness , to be issued from time to tinv as funds are needed , and provide; for the inclusion of a $00 , 000 charge in the 1 938 tax levy to pay off thr notes. Church Ass ' n Elects Crook As Moderator The Rev. Walter C. Crook , pas- tor of the Jamesport Congregation- al Church , was elected moderator of the Suffolk Association of Con- gregational Churches and Ministers for a one-year term at the associa- tion ' s 65th annual meeting yester- day in the Jamesport church. He succeeds the Rev. James Alcock , former pastor of the Aquebogue Congregational Church , who was called to a west end church last fall. Fred H. Tuthill of Riverhead presided as moderator pro tern yes- terday. The Rev. Wells H. Fitch of North- ville was re-elected registrar and treasurer. The Rev . D. Paul Her- riott of Sayville was named as dele- gate to tha General Council which is to meet at Beloit, Wis., June 15- 22. The invitation extended by the Mt. -JSinai Church to hold the fall meeting there was accepted and Nov. 2 was set as a tentative date. Bid to Summer Visitors As the result of a resolution adopted by the laymen ' s conference and ratified later in the day by the association, the Congregational Churches of Suffolk will make a special effort to interest summer residents in their services and oth- er activities. The resolution urges that the board of deacons of each church \ see that the summer resi- dents of the community be cordial- ly invited to join with the local church for the season and that the church hold a special summer folks ' Sunday service during the month of July. \ Addresses of outstanding inter- est were given by the Rev. Ezra Young, former missionary in Tur- key; the Rev. Donald W. Strickler of Bay Shore , and the Rev. Dr. Robert C. Whitehead of Mt. Vernon. The Rev. Dr. Percy E. Radford of Mattituck , moderator of the Long Island Presbytery, attended as a fraternal delegate and spoke briefly. County Moves To Recapture Land s in Bay The survey made of a consider- able area of disputed land in Pe- conic Bay off Hog Neck, South- ampton town , on April 19 , will re- sult in the recovery for public use of between 25 and 30 acres of natural shellfish ground which has been used by the oyster companies for severa l years , Supervisor S. Wentworth Horton of Southold , chairman of the shellfish commit- tee of the Board of Supervisors , de- clared at the board meeting Mon- day. The survey, or rather the re-sur- vey, was made by Otto Van Tuyl of Greenport and John Whitby of East Hampton , the surveyors en- gaged by the committee to chart other disouted areas in Peconic and Gardiner ' s Bays as a step toward settling bitter controversies be- tween the oyster companies; and the independent baymen. Supervisor Horton was the spon- sor of a resolution which will prc~ vent the sale of bay bottom lands acquired by the county for non- payment of taxes to other than the original owners , except with the ap- proval of County Attorney E. F. Hazleton and the Board of Super- visors. Under the resolution , all lands fit for shellfish culture will be reserved for the public use. County Attorney Hazleton said at the meeting that investigation by his office disclosed that about 1 , 200 acres of good shellfish land have been used by non-residents since 1912 without paying \ one cent in taxes. \ Former Bank A gent Seeks Venu e Shift Nazi Influence Bars a Fair Trial for Cooper- Smith in Suffolk Co., Lawyer Tells Court. That anti-Semitic influences are sufficiently strong in Suffolk County to tip the scales of justice against a Jewish defendant was one of the several arguments advanced yes- terday (Wednesday) before Justice Francis G. Hooley in Nassau County Supreme Court , Mineola , in support of a motion to transfer the trial of Morris Cooper-Smith , former real estate agent for the Riverhead Savings Bank , on a 20- count grand larceny indictment from the Suffolk County Court to the Supreme or County Court in either Kings or Queens. Armed with a sheatli of news- per clippings relating to activities at Camp Sieg fried at Yaphank , Alexander Mayper of New York , member of counsel for Cooper- Smith , argued that Nazi influences are so strong in Suffolk that his client could not obtain a fair trial in this county. Cites Anti-Nazi Feeling Assistant District Attorney Lind- say R. Henry, in opposing the mo- tion for a change of venue , told that court that the only Nazis in Suffolk are those who come from New York Ci ty during the summer and fall to take part in the drills and demonstrations at the Yaphank camp, and ci'-d the strong feeling in the county against the Hitlerites. Justice Hooley agreed that there was little merit in that argument. Mr. Mayper also contended that the testimony of officials of the (Please turn to Page 2 , Col. 8) CLIFFORD OKMSISY ROGER BOARDMAN Clifford Ormsby, choral leader and school music educator of Bay Shore , will lie one of the four con- ductors of the ISO-voiced Suffolk Festival Chorus on May 25 in Riv- erhead.

In May Musical Events Homan Clerk Dies Suddenl y Riverhead was shocked and sad- dened to learn of the sudden and untimely death on Tuesday of Miss Anna Josephine Konchalski , who as secretary to Supervisor Dennis G. Homan , has become well known to townspeople for her friendliness and pleasing personality. Miss Konchalski , whose home was in Jamesport , complained of not feeling well on Monday, but was apparently not seriously stricken until Tuesday when she was rushed to Eastern Long Island Hosp ital in Greenport. There , an explora tory operation was per- formed , from which Miss Konchals- ski never recovered. She died late Tuesday of general peritonitis. Miss Konchalski was born July 13 , 1915 , the daughter of Mrs. Al- bert Konchalski and the late Mr. Konchalski. As a child she was stricken with infantile paralysis , which left her painfully crippled. A recent graduate of Riverhead High School , she became secretary to the Supervisor when he took of- fice January 1. Funeral services will be held at 9 o ' clock Friday morning in St. Isidor ' s Church , Riverhead , with the Rev. Father M. Sadowski offici- ating. Burial will follow in St. John ' s Cemetsry. Besides her mother , the deceased is survived by five sisters , Mrs. Mary Koronkiewicz , Mrs. Sophie Haupt, Mrs. Viola Wagner , Mrs. Josephine Walaski and Miss Fran- ces Konchalski, and four brothers , Frank , John , Joseph and Anthony Konchalski. Hill Upholds Petit Jury ' s Flag Salute Case Verdict The conviction of Charles and Hilda Saiulstrom of Luke Ronkon- komu , parents of Grace Sands- liom , 13 , whose refusal last fall to salute the Ameilcati flag because of religious scruples caused her ex- pulsion from the Lake Ronkonkoma elementary school , is upheld in a decision handed down this week by County Judge L. Barron Hill who heard the appeal from the verdicl of a petit jury in Justice Harold C Sorenson ' s court at Lake Grove. Arthur Garfield Hays , American Civil Liberties Union head and counsel for the Sandstroms , an- nounced in New York that he will appeal to the Appellate Division. Members of Religious Sect The girl and her parents are members of a I'eiigiuua j>ecL knowii as Jehovah' s Witnesses. She de- clined to salute the flag, as re- quired by the education law , her parents having instructed her that to do so would violate their reli- gious beliefs. The Sandstroms sent the child to school , but she was sent home for obeying her instructions. To end the impasse , the Sandstroms were finally charged with violation of the compulsory attendance pro- vision of the education law and were convicted by a six-man jury Justice Sorenson imposed a fine of $10 or ten days in jail but suspended execution of the sentence. Judge Hill reviewed the case at considerable length in his five-page decision and reached the conclusion that a salute to the American flag is in no sense a religious rite and that the parents therefore have no legal right, on legal grounds , to prevent their daughter from salut- ing or pledging allegiance to the flag. lie pointed out that \the reli- gious zealot , if his liberties were to be thus extended , might refuse to contribute taxes in furtherance of a school system that compelled stud- ents to salute the flag. \ Hudson Not a Bank Robber Federal authorities have finally satisfied themsel ves that Charles Hudson , alias Charles E. Conroy, 20 , of the Bronx , whom they ar- rested two weeks ago as a suspect in the Mattituck National Bank holdup on March 11 , had nothing to do with the robbery, according to word received by District Attorney Fred J. Munder. At the time , District Attorney Munder and Sheriff Jacob S. Dreyer , whose investigation , aided by local and state police , resulted in the arrest and speedy conviction :if five of the bank bandits , declared themselves satisfied that Hudson was not the sixth and only missing member of the gang. Hudson ' s exoneration vindicates their judg- ment. The Government' s case against the five robbers who were sen- tenced to long terms in Sing Sing was presented a few days ago to the Federal Grand Jury, now in session in Brooklyn , by Assistant U. S. Attorney James Saber. In the event indictments are returned , they will be brought from Sing Sing for trial in Federal Court in i3rook!yn The customary disposi- tion of a case of this nature where the state court' s sentence is sub- stantial , is , if a conviction is ob- tained on Federal charges , to im- pose a concurrent sentence. Federal Aid For Brid ges To Be Asked Board Accepts Macy ' s Offer to Present Its ¦ A pp lication to Ickes ; RFC Loan Is Soug ht. The Roosevelt Administration ' s $5 , 000 , 000 ,000 spending program , if approved in whole or in part by Congress, may be the means of bringing about the construction of the Long Island Loop Bridges , which would link the two flukes of the island by way of Shelter Island , and of a third span at Smith Point , Mastic , to connect the ocean beach with the mainland . The move to enlist ready private capital for the momentous projects having been defeated In March when the bridge authority bill died in a State Senate Committee , the Board of Supervisors , through its bridge and causeway committee. has been seeking other means of bringing about the early, , erection of the bridges , possibly in/time for the World' s Fair. In this refusal to abandon the program or permit it to lie dormant , the board has had the support of many . influential civic organizations. In Line For Grant At the meeting of the board on Monday, Supervisor Edgar E. Sharp of Brookhaven sponsored a resolu- tion which will place the county in line for a 45 percent grant toward the construction cost of the three bridges from the Public Works Ad- ministration , if and when the new \ pump priming \ program goes into effect. Supervisor Sharp prefaced his resolution by reading a letter from Republican County Chairman W.

Ba r- ron Hill on Monday sentenced Louis H . Meyers of Islip to serve not less than 10 nor more than 20 years in Sing Sing Prison. Meyers pleaded guilty to the charge of sec- ond degree forge ry two weeks ago. This was his second felony convic- tion. Frank Mauler of Amityville , con- victed of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated as a second of- fender , was fined $250 , give n a year ' s suspended jail sentence and was placed on probation for one year. The fine was paid. The court took a more lenient view of Sag Harbor ' s famed \ cow cose , \ where the defendants in- volved were all first offenders.

Homan to M bidding Ryndicnt p composed of Goldman , Sachs & Co, and Eldredge & Co., Manhattan bond houses. The strength and stability of the town ' s financial structure was dem- onstrated by the fact that the issue was marketed at an interest rate of 2.20 per cent. The successful bidders also paid a premium of $2 , 315.83 which will be used to re- duce the first year ' s amortization charge. In all , eight bids were opened Tuesday at Supervisor Iloman ' s of- fice and no bid called for an in- terest rate higher than 2.60 per cent. The second best proposal was that of Halsey Ctuart & Co., Inc., who offered $408 , 440.78 for the issue and quoted a rate of 2.40 per cent. The bonded debt of the town , not including the new district issue, is $100050; , The town ' s assessed valu- ation is $13 , 762 , 237 and the district assessment is about $8, 000 , 000 .

Town Board to Ask Advice on New Sidewalks The Riverhead Town Board took the first step towa rd the possible formation of a tow n financed side- walk construction program yester- day afternoon when Town Counsel Seth A. Hubbard was instructed to secure from the State Comptroller ' s office an opinion as to the legal- ity of raising the sum of $60 , 000 on certificates of Indebtedness to finance the plan. Meanwhile , it is understood that the Board will also secure , from local contractors , bids on the con- struction of the proposed Aque- bogue sidewalks in anticipation of the Board' s authority to proceed. Dissatisfaction with the manner in which WPA officials have handled their appeal , the Town Board seems on the verge of abandoning all hope of WPA aid , and going ahead on their own. J. Harry Saxstien appearing be- fore the Town Board yesterday afternoon on behalf of the Aque- bogue Men ' s Club to inquire whether there might be any hope of having the Aquebogue sidewalks completed b y fall; and to further the suggestion already made that the work be done by the town as a necessary improvement instead of awaiting the none>-too-certain and non-too-satisfactory action of the WPA . Supervisor Homan agreed with Mr. Saxstien . that the work could probably be done more cheaply and more satisfactorily as a town sidewalk improvement proj- ect , but was not certain that the Board could legally take such ac- tion. Town Attorney Hubbard said (Please turn to Page 2 , Col . 3) BYRD TO TAKE PART IN AIR BASE FETE Admiral Richard E.

Sheriff Will Launch Motor Patrol May 2 Ten sleek blue cars , carrying uniformed members of Sheriff Jacob S. Dreyer ' s staff , will hit the hi ghways and byways of Suffolk County next Monday when the new day and ni ght motor patrol , plan- ned to curb crime and discourage reckless and careless driving, will be inaugurated. The men assigned to patrol duty, Sheriff Dreyer said yesterday, . will be instructed to give service to the public. Erring motorists will at first receive politely-worded warning cards. Later on , tickets are to be given out. In 1937 , 98 persons were killed in automobile accidents in Suffolk County and it is the Sheriff' s pur- pose to make a serious attempt to bring to the attention of the motor- ing public the necessity for careful driving to the end that the number of accidents and fatalities may be reduced. . Looking ahead to next year and the World' s Fair , Sheriff Dreyer anticipates the heaviest traffic Long Island has ever known. Inaugu ra- tion of the patrol this year means that the county will be better pre- pared to handle the influx of tour- ists in 1939 . The new cars , all Fords , are marked with the official seal and with a si gn so that they may be easily recognized at night. Area Session Of Home Bu.
