Only the most pessimistic of weather viewers were able to see a March gale in the gentle breeze which barely moved the branches of trees this morning, when the first of March, reputedly leonine in its entrance, reversed its traditional foign. Weather ob§ervers in the meteorological office at Mit- chel field reported early morning temperatures below the freezing point, but a clear sun sent the mercury up, and though it still stood at 30 de- grees at 10 o'clock, there was evidence of a continued rise. However, the weather man had not given up hope of ful- fillment of one of the most abused weather-proverbs and his early morning prediction was for continued cold weather, cloudiness, and snow or rain. With the frustration of the old March saw today, frus- tration also came to several souls who had birthdays last year, but who are deprived of celebrations this year, Feb- ruary 29, they ruefully re- alized, comes but once each four years.

England Doesn't Forget It has been becoming daily more apparent the people of England exiled ruler by May 12 when his brother, George VI, is to be crowned. Among the large body of the middle class, a definite feeling of apathy toward the ceremonies is being expressed-a feeling of in- difference that could not have been imagined six months ago. The government and those re- sponsible for the success of the traditional ceremonies were said to feel such a vivid recalling of Edward to his former subjects as his wedding during the coronation would further lessen enthusiasm.

It marks another milestone in the remark- mble progress made by The Review in the 15 years of its existence, a progress that has been so rapid that already The Review is recognized as one of the outstanding dailies of the East. It bringstogether the two pioneer dailies of the county which already have achieved a com- bined daily circulation of more than 25,000 and are read by more than 100,000 persons each day. Founded in 1921 by Mr. James E. Stiles, its editor and publisher from the start, The Review has kept pace with the steady growth of Nas- saucounty and, in fact, has been an important asset to that growth. The paper was born of a combination of the leading weeklies of the time and the merging , of the weeklies into The Review was the first' of a series of consolidations that has its climax with the announcement oftoday. The Star was also born of a weekly. It was established in 1927 and replaced the old Lyn- brook New Era, which was a weekly publication of some prominence. Four years ago, The Star was purchased by The Nassau Daily Star Cor- poration, of which Mr. Stiles was president, and since then it has been published under his guidance. Since its change of ownership, however, The Star confined its local coverage mainly to the villages of Lynbrook, Valley Stream,East Rock- away, Malverne and those of the Branch. In other words, it was circulated along the South Shore to the west of the Lynbrook-Rockville Centre village line. The Review was assigned the task of cover- ing the restof the county; that is, all the terri- tory east of the Rockville Centre-Lynbrook vil- lage line with the exception of the North Shore. While this arrangement generally was satis- factory, it was noticeable that many in what was known as The Star atea preferred The Re- view and vice versa. It was found, also, that The Review could not carry complete news of The Star area for those in its territory who might be interested in what happened in that Week-End Accidents On Nassau Highway the finest week-end weather of the winter. Despite Traffic on Roads Many Motorists Enjoy Fine Weather In Safety Nassau today looked back on a week-end happily limited in traffic accidents, despite heavy use of Long Island highways, due to Three persons were injured in automobile crashes along the east- ern part of the south shore, but section nor could The Star carry of The Review So the merger. The result will be two newspapers in one. Readers in every nook and cranny of Nassau county will be provided complete news of all that happens anywhere in the county and not in a general sort of a way because today, The Nassau Daily Review and The Nassau Daily Star, in their combined form, will specialize in their coverage. Themerger paper comes out in five editions. There is the Central Island edition for the complete news 'readers in Farmingdale, Hicksville, Bethpage and Westbury; the Turnpike Special, for Mine- eols, East Williston, Williston Park, Albertson, Elmont, Franklin Square, Stewart Manor, New Hyde Park, Floral Park and Bellerose. Then comes the Home Edition, covering Hempstead, Freeport, Rockville Centre, Ocean- side, Roosevelt, Garden City, Long Beach, Island Park, Baldwin and the villages to the east along the South Shore. The Branch edition, for the readers of that territory, and the West End edition, for the people of Valley Stream, Lynbrook, East Rock- away, Malverne and Lakeview follow in the order named. ' It is an elaborate program, destined to give all of the readers of the combined newspaper all of the \news of all of the county. It was conceived, not as a move to economy but as a move that would result in the readers of both The Review and The Star getting all of the fea- tures and pictures in one paper that hitherto were carried in two. The staf members of both newspapers have been combined into one, with none released. The combined newspaper will reflect the Metropolitan atmosphere that rapidly <is de- veloping in this county without, however, losing the intimacy and close association the two news- papers have enjoyed with their readers. We greet our readers with high hopes. We are anticipating a new era of growth and pros- perity for Metropolitan -Long Island; our faith in_ Nassau county was never stronger; our spirits never were as high. We hope you will like this greater newspaper to a greater degree. THREE FAGTIONS AT CARLE PLICE Annexation Move Brings Owners, 2 Civic Units Into Contest Few Three factions are expected to Bullstin | ASSEMBLY ELECTION SCHEDULED APRIL 1 ALBANY, March 1- (P)-Governor Lehman called today a special election April 1 to fill the vacancy in New York's as- sembly caused by the death of Richard B. Smith, Syracuse Republican. The governor's action paves the way to fill the unexpired term at the earliest possible date. Un- der state law, 30 days must elapse between the call and the actual elec- tion. The death of the veter- an legislator, a> repre- sentative of Onondaga county's normally Repub- lican third district, de- prived the Republicans of a working majority in the assembly, forcing leaders to shelve party-supported legislation until after the election.

The | smash-ups in which the allegedly inebriated operators were involved did not cause serious injuries nor great damage. At Roosevelt, a truck was de- molished when it struck a tree, but the driver escaped un- scratched. One minor crash, which involved an unidentified driver, was reported in Hempstead. Three persons were hurt, none of them seriously, in a series of automobile accidents on the South Shore over the week-end. Three men were arrested on charges of drunken driving and a fourth was locked up on a charge of stealing a car. Thelma Sammis, 24, of Sunrise highway and Clocks boulevard, Massapequa, was treated at Mea- dowbrook hospital for lacerations of the scalp and abrasions of both knees suffered when her roadster struck a tree, overturned and was demolished at 5:30 o'clock yester- day morning.

Future Value Studied An L-shaped tract of land, from Carle road east to the Westbury village line, and from the Northern state parkway right-of-way to Jericho turnpike, is involved in the new annexation move. This area, mostly undeveloped, is considered the most valuable potential home- site area in Carle Place.

Mayor Gold, in a letter to the heads of religrous, civic and fra- ternal groups, has pointed out that a revenue of $168,106 would be derived annually from the beach users if the proposal finds acceptance. He asserted that the largest item in the cost of city government was the maintenance of the beach. .' $1,000,000 Boardwalk Built \Up to 1934 the city spent ap- proximately $2,000,000 for repairs to the old boardwalk and a jetty system,\ the mayor's letter states. \Annual interest charges amount to $110,000. In addition, the city appropriates about $40,000 annual- ly on its beach front for life guards, cleaning, police, etc. The ultimate cost of the new board- walk and jetties, which will be ready this summer, will be around $1,000,000.\ According to Mayor Gold, local property owners could be relieved of the present expenses \through the proper management of an ocean beach park,\ wherein the cost would fall upon those using the beach. Fence Will Bar Entry \The plan calls for a fence to be erected from the easterly to the westerly limits of the city along the beach front, with entrances at each street end, in addition to | gates from properties abutting on the beach,\ stated Gold. The fees proposed are $1 a sea- son for residents; $3 for a season guest privilege; 25 cents for tran- sients fully clothed who wish to use the beach. Apartment house and hotel owners would be charged $2 a room a season, the same as bathhouse owners. Guests would receive identification tags. Non-residents in bathing suits would enter the beach through the regular bathing houses.

Fearon said today that New York state 1s \no better off financially now than five years ago\ despite increased and new taxes and financing of unemploy- ment relief and capital improve- ments from bond issues. \We are no nearer the edge of the woods than we were in 1931,\ the Syracuse lawyer declared in an address prepared for delivery before the Women's National Re- publican club. \There has been some fancy juggling of figures during this period to make it ap- pear that we are better off. \But the budget continues to mount, the debt continues to mount, the deficits on June 30 are ever with us, and the 'emergency' is over for everybody but the good old taxpayer.\ Fearon left the state senate last sumer to become a candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination for which he subse- quently was defeated. Assails Bond Issue His speech, the first delivered by the former senator since last fall's campaign, dealt exclusively with state finances and criticism of Governor Lehman's fiscal poli- cles.
