braced about so per cont of Russia s

Citizens Union Calls
Enright Pension a Grab

The executive committee of the Citi-
zens Union authorized it's chairman,
William Jay Schieffelin, yesterday to
institute taxpayers action to re
strain Police Commissioner Richard
E. Enrlght from retiring himself at the
pension rate Of the chief Inspector
In making the announcement it was
said by the Citizens Union that. all
though the amount involved was small
1t was IAN attempted grab which is
but typical of the whole attitude Of
the Hylan police administration.
AS retired lieutenant Of police
1t was said, "hs pension would have
been s1,22o wear. Not satisfied with
that, he obtained a special act of Leg
lsiature designed to permit his retire
ment on the pension Of chief inspec-
tor, which IS now at the rate of $3.50
year This rate is based in part
upon an increase in the salary of the
chief inspector which Mr.. Enright him
self obtained from the Board of Es
innate and Apportionment
Last month Commissioner F,nripht
retired himself at the $3.50 rate.
Mr. Schieffelins counsel. Leonard
NJ. Wallstein, will contend in court
that the special act is ineffective to
accomplish the purpose intended by
the Hylan administration. The Citi-
zens Union opposed the special act
when it was before the Legislature and

pealed because it is special private

Beer and Wine Measure
Is Shelved by Assembly
From, q STAR Correspondent

ALBANY, Jan. 24.-Those who had
hoped that the Legislature might refuse
to follow Governor Miller's program
for the enactment of a state dry en-
forcement act, modelled along the lines
of the Volstead law, received a serious
blow tonight when the Assembly, by a
vote Of II to AZ, referred to committee
d resolution asking Congress to lib
eralize,% the Volstead act.
The resolution was introduced by
Assemblyman Henry Baum, Republican,
Of Queens 1t would memorialize Con-
gress to amend the Nolstead act SO
as to permit the sale of beer and light
wines.
Mr.. Baum sought immediate action
on the resolution, but was opposed by
Floor Leader Simon l.. Adler, of Mon
roe, who asked that it be referred to
the Assembly Excise Committee. Upon
protests from number of mem bers,
including all Of the Democrats and
some OF the greater New York Repub-
licans, q standing vote was taken, after
which the resolution was sent to COM
Mittee.
The'action taken on the Baum reso-
luton seems to indicate that the Gov
ernor's dry enforcement program is as
sured. While there will be opposition
to the dry legislation, it will likely
come from a faction not strong enough
to block its passage 1t was said to-
night that the dry enforcement bills
will be reported out of committee next
week.

After Staying Intruder

raul Laudman was awakened at 2
a. III. yesterday by the sound OF foot
steps in his saloon and dance hall be-
meath his home, at Sutphin Road and
Pacific Street, Jamaica, Queens, and
went down with his brother, Frank. He
told the police later that they saw two
men in the place. who refused to obey
Pauls command to put up their hands.
He had hiss revolver and opened fire
IN the belief, he said, that the two bur-
glars were about to attack him. One of
the intruders fell and the other jumped
out of a window and escaped. Laudran
telephoned the police, who arrested him
and his brother on charge of houi-
eide, violation Of the Sullivan law also
being charged against Paul Laudman.
The dead man was identified BY
an American Legion card as John j.
Smith, Of 113 Dean Street, Jamaica.
He was member Of Yorkville Post
no. 36, having served at Forts Hamil-
ton and Wadsworth during the war.
His brother, Peter f. Smith, with
whom he lived, was certain that he
had not entered the saloon as burglar.
"He left home Sunday afternoon to
go to christening in Manhattan" said
Mr.. Smith, land started home about II
p. m. He had had something to drink,
am informed, and l believe that on
his way home he rode about four
blocks past his home. I believe that

Selling of Securities for
German Insurance Upheld
Supreme Court Rules Alien
Property Custodian Acted
Within His Rights

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The Su-
preme Court to-day upheld the author
ity of the Alien Property Custodian to
seize securities deposited in this coun-
try by German insurance companies to
protect American polcyholders. The
court said there could be no doubt that
the trading with the enemy act au-
thorized such seizure.
Suits were brought BY the Metropoli-
tan and Central Union Trust compan-
les, OF New York, and by James Speyer
Frank A. Nanderlip and others, as trus-
tees, to determine the question of the
custodian's authority.
The appeals were based on the
ground that the securities constituted
trust fund which was in the hands
and under the exclusive control of
Americans, for the protection Of Amer
leans, and further that the deposit OF
the securities had been required under
the laws Of various states.
