QUESTION OF AUTHORITY
He Doubted Right Of Aldermen
to Delegate Captain to
Hold Rent Hearing.

Sidney s. Levine, Of Arnstein q Lee

Bronx, has taken exception to a state
ment In THE SUN on Friday last that at
q hearing before Capt. Charles A. Gold
smith, officially representing the mayors

vine commended that the subp9nas is
sued by the Corporation Counsers office
with the backing Of Justice Robert l.. Luce
OF tie Supreme Court, were not legal"
Mr.. Levine advised his clients-the land
lords In the case--not to answer the
questions put to them by Cart Gold
smith. and they didn't
Mr.. Levine writes that the article
''states In effect that / advised my
clients to disobey a subpoena issued by
Justice Robert l. Luce of the Supreme
Court There is not a scintilla OF truth
In ehis assertion"
Although THE SUN didn't mako this
assertion" it is glad to emphasize the
fact that Justice Luce didn't sign the
subppnas The subpnnas were Issued
by William I. Collins. chairman OF the
committee on general welfare OF the
Board of Aldermen, and bore also the
signatures OF two representatives OF the
Corporation Counseps office. Justice
Luce Is chairman OF the committee on
lawyers named by the Democratic or
ganization, which Is cooperating with
the Mayors Committee on Rent
Prohteering. and Is backing Its activi-
ties to the limit.
Mr.. Levine says he advised his clients
to obey the subpenas, but when he
found that neither Alderman Collins nor
any other member of the committee
would be present, that the hearing would
be conducted by ''one Goldsmith, who
was not a member of the committee or
even a member of the Board of Alder
men that issued the mandate" he stated
that his clients lowed a legal and moral
duty to the Board of Aldermen not to
testify before anybody but their COM
mittee."
Goldsmith then stated that the Board
of Aldermen had delegated to him the
power to hold said meeting" Levine
continues. II therefore stated that l

STEAL WALLISS CAR
AT POLICE GAMES
CONSERVATION in Fiue Bor-
oughs at Neus of Theft.

A most unlSind compliment was rem
dered to Frederick A. Wallis, Fourth
Deputy Police Commissioner. late yes
terday afternoon when, after working
like a Trojan as master of ceremonies
for the Aeld day games at Sheepsbead
Bay, he came out of the grounds to find
that the sleuths OF the auto squad had
allowed thieves to drive of In his seven
passenger Stutz touring car.
The disappearance of Wallis's machine
was Immediately reported to Headquar-
tiers and all during the night the police
lines were busy transmitting the heart
breaking news to the police in the five
boroughs. New Jersey and Connecticut.
In the alarm Il was stated that the car
IN marked on the side. "City of New
York. Bronx p. D., and bears the mon
ogran IF. A. W."
The auto squad which was In jubi-
liant mood over the recovery OF Inspector
Henry's machine, and a strenuous day
at the field day sporta Immediately went
to work canvassing certain East and
West Side garages. Henry last wscnes-
day night left his machine outside Of
the Paiais Royal. Forty-eighth street
and broadway, while he attended a tes-
timonial dinner given to Capt Martin
s. Owens. When he came out the ma
chine was gone, and yesterday the
sleuths found 1t over In garage near
the North River in West Fifty-seventh
street Tho car seemed to have been
given the best OF care while II was doing
other than police duty about tho city.
Nothing was missing from it. and the
garage man said a stranger had berthed
1t with him.
Some of the cops are inclined to be-
lieve that a practical Joker Is abroad
whose delight seems to be In running
away with Police Department machines.
After a short absence they are turned in
at some obscure garage.

eign corporations engaged in business in

SIX BILLION GOAL FOR VICTORY LOAN
By Review Leased Wire,


 WASHINGTON, March 22.-With the announcement today that collec- tions from the first 25 per cent in staHment payment of income and profits taxes last Saturday amounted to $1 ,OO1 100000 and might go higher with later reports, the last financial milestone preceding the Victory Lib erty loan had been passed, and it seem probable that the loan will be for ap- proximately S6.G0O,000,O 1000.
 Governors cf federal reserve banks attending a conference closing tonight were told that although official state ments of she amount of loan have re- ferred t0- five or six billions," the higher figure was nearer correct. Tax LeVies Hold Up.
 Tax collections of a little more than a billion dollars indicated that the total tax yield this year from income and profits levies would be more than four billions and might reach the S4, 700 900 ,0OO estimate of congress at the time of enacting the revenue bill. The aggregate of first installment payments will bring into the treasury only about 0,OO0 ,OOO net at this time, however. since $500, 100000 is required to pay certificates of dnt ] debtedness maturing coincldentally , with the tax payments.
 In support of the belief that the treasury would maxe six billions the goal of the Victory loan, campaign of ! ficials pointed out that S4,S55, ,00O, 900 | certificates of indebtedness were out r+audiuo in he redeemed mt Of DrO- | ceeds from the loan and they said that probably another billion must be ! issued before loan receipts begin to pour in Proceeds from the certifi- l cates will be required to pay ordi \ nary government expenses for two months. now running at the rate of 1 S1. 200 .OOO. 900 a month, and to redeem a little more than $6OO, ,OOO, 900 of cer 1 tificates falling due before May 6. Cash on Hand.
 The treasury has available to meet | current cash requirements about S1,70O, 900 900, rather high net balance not including all the tax receipts from last weeks collections. Officials however. do not desire to let the cash [ working balance get below a billion dollars, for this is less than a months expenses.
 Indications now are that unless the Victory loan is largely oversubscribeC the treasury department will have tC begin within a few months after the campaign to market new securities selling them mainly to banks, as { means of meeting future government expenses.

POSTAL OFFICERS ARE ORDERED OUT
Ry Review Leased Wlrel

NEW YORK, March 22.=Refusal by the Postal Telegraph company to sanction an increase of telegraph rates it deemed unjust and award of 10 per cent wage increase to em- ployes instead of the , per cent ad- vance ordered by Postmaster General BurlesOn was said tonight by William s. Deegan, secretary oT the company, to be the reasons for the removal today by MT. BurlesOn of Clarence Mackey, president, and other officials of the company.
 Mir. Deegan declared in a statement that we shall surrender or abandon our fight against Burleson's usurpa- tiOns."
 The order removing the officials was served at noon today without pre- vioIs notice, said the statement, which continued:
 BurleSon gives as a reason for the order that we have failed to carry out his orders and instructions. We do not know what Burleson refers to in the way Of orders and instructions. This is all a pTetense.
 The statement by Burleson that we NO put 4AllO CAACCl luS wage schedule is a distortion. We announced an increase of wages of all our emplOye son March ,, effective from January l, which was more gen. erous than that ordered by Burleson. The BurlesOn schedule was based en- ! tirely on the Western Union plan of organization which is different from ours. and it was impossible to apply ! to our organization. Burleson's op- erating board admitted this and told us to do the best we could. Burleson's statement of the wage schedule is a deliberate attempt to distort facts.
 We did refuse to assent to a prop | Osition made by Burleson's operating board of Bell Telephone and Western | Union officials to increase telegra- | phers but IthiS never reached the i form of an order. Burleson carefully refrains from mentioning this and this may be why he has removed our of | ficials''
 The statement declares the action of the postmaster general ito be one | of the most despOtic acts in the his tory of the American government, B and that his purpose evidently is to destroy the Postal telegraph system, ' as the men who were appointed to take over the property know nothing of the telegraph business"
