Giving Up Park Land
For Air Post Opposed
Fairgrounds Association Pro-
tests Proposal to Ccde
Cround at ROckawav

The proposed .cession to the United
States government of the site of the
Rockaway naval air station is opposed
in memorandum that has been filed
with the Sinking Fund Commission by
the Parks and Fairgrounds Associa-
ton of the City of New York The
site is part of Jacob A. Ris Park. The
memorandum says, in part:
The opportunity of the people Of
the City Of New York for recreation
and healthful exercise is already cir
cumscribed by the limited amount Of
park area which is available for that
purpose. If any of the present park
ground of the city is permitted to be
diverted to other uses the loss to the
present generation will be great and
the loss to generations to come will be
immeasurably greater.
''The Jacob Riis Park was acquired
by the city after years of agitation.
There is no authority vested in any
city. officer to give away the area thus
acquired.
"The occupation Of any part of this
park by the navy as naval air sta
tion may interfere with the utility Of
the rest of the park for the proper pur-
poses OF pleasure and recreation. The
naval air station will be source of
constant danger to those who may use
the area in its immediate vicinity as q
pleasure ground"

Six New Typhus
Cases Appear
At Quarantine
Patients Are Isolated at
Hoffman Island and Other
Immigrants Are Detained
for Further Observation
DAYS Arrivals Are 4,467
Five More Ill and One Death
From Sleeping Sickness
Reported in Manhattan

Six new typhus cases were discov-
cred yesterday among the 1850 imm'--
grants detained at the Hoffman Island
quarantine station, according to Ur.
Leland L. Cofer, medical officer IN
charge.
Coincident with this report the
Health Department announced five ad-
ditional cases and one death in Man
haitian from sleeping sickness. The
death was that of Simon Lazarus, forty
i've years old, Of 216 East 10th Street.
James Hamilton, fireman, or aSo
West Thirty-eighth Street, was taken TO
Bellevue Hospital in a serious condi-
tion.
Five Of the typhus cases are steer
age passengers who arrived here sew
eral days ago aboard the steamer San
Guisto. The other is that OF steer
age passenger from the steamer kroon-
land.
Patients Isolated
The afflicted persons have been iso-
lated from the other detained imml-
grants. who will be held for further
observation, DR.. Cofer said. The situa-
ton is not alarming, according to the
medical officer, and there IS little
chance of any OF those infected get
ting abroad in the city because OF the
thorough examination made at Quaran-
tine.
Deputies Of DR.. Royal S. Copeland,
Commissioner Of Health, had theis
hands full Saturday night and early
nal examining more than $500 immi-
grants who came here from Boston,
where they had landed from the liner
Manchuria.
The terminal was babel OF voices
and some disorder prevailed until po-
lice lines were established, but every
Immigrant passed under observation
before he was permitted to meet his
kin, according to the deputies.
Fifty policemen segregated the I'M,
migrants in patches Of fifty and held
back the throng Of surging relatives
while a dozen inspectors carried on
their work.
The examination resulted in the dis
covery of twenty-five cases of vermln
among the 1857 immigrants arriving
during the night and sixteen similar
cases among the 635 reaching here yes
terday, it was reported by the authori-
ties. They we're detained for delous-

Says None Escape Examination
Dr. Copeland said he did not wish
the alarming idea to become prevalent
that his force was unable to cope with
the situation presented by immigrants
detraining here from other ports:
"Not one immigrant got by until he
was examined" said DR.. Copeland.
There was some disorder at first, but
nothing that could be construed as a
riot. Immigrants and relatives sub
mitted to the examination when it was
explained to them. Relatives of immi-
grants have been cooperating with the
authorities since the situation has been
explained to them. The system is work
ing satisfactorily, but, if necessary. I
would call on the entire police force,

Peter Rabbit hadn't forgotten the
mystery of the great windfall over in
the Green Forest. No, indeed. Peter
couldn't forget thing like that. He
thought about it a great deal and he
was eager to get back there to find out
if his big cousin, Jumper the Hare,
had discovered how it was that Buster
Bears coat had turned brown while he
slept. Both had seen Buster just be-
fore he went to sleep for the winter
and then his coat was black. Both had

brown coat What kind Of coat would
Buster Bear be wearing when he came
out from his long sleep? Would it be
black or brown?
There had been so much going on
near home that it was some time be-
fore Peter found a chance to run
over to the Green. Forest. In all the
places which the jolly Little Sunbeams
could reach the snow had melted. The
ice was gone in the pond of Paddy the
Beaver. The Laughing Brook was over
flowing its banks. There was the feel
of spring in the air as Peter at last
hurried through the Green Forest in
search Of his big cousin, Jumper the
Hare.

white coat, but now it made him very
nervous, for with most of the snow
gone it was hard work to keep from
being seen by his enemies. "Hi, Cousin
Jumper!" cried Peter as soon as he
saw him. HAS Buster Bear come out
YETI"
yes" replied Jumper, looking this
way and that way nervously "Hc has
been out for more than week"
What color is his coat?" asked Peter
eagerly.
Black" replied Jumper.
"What!" cried Peter.
BLACK" repeated Jumper. "He never
has worn blacker coat than he is
wearing this spring. If ever there was
black bear that bear is Buster"
did you ask him how it happened
that his coat was brown while he was
asleep?" Peter asked eagerly.

The New York County Medical So

Health Committee Of the Senate and

are the Smith-Lord bill and the
Twomey -McLaughlin bill 1t is said
that the Smith-Lord bill, while it re-
peals the present state narcotic act
known as the Whitney law, puts moth
ing in its place.
Fear 1t VIII Confuse
II leaves the state without any law
providing for the commitment and
care Of addicts and without any au-
thority for the police to deal with
the traffic in narcotics by street ped
dlers. It's passage, the medical society
points out, leaves the whole question
to be dealt with by state officials. II
the bill becomes law, it was said, the
result probably would be that" local
boards Of health would undertake
regulations Of all kinds, differing wide
ly and creating more difficult situa-
ton for doctors and druggists than
they find confronting them under the
present Law.
The Fearon- Smith bill also repeals
the Whitney law, but puts in its place
law identical with the Federal
statute. SO that the police, state courts
and prosecuting officials have power
to deal with illegitimate traffic in
drugs. One important point in this
bill, according to the county medical
organization, is that doctors and drug

for His Quarters When Warden Invites Choice

Warden Warren Mcclellan made an
announcements at the breakfast table
yesterday which threw the Westche ster
County penitentiary at East View into
a bedlam Of art talk and psychological
discussion for the rest of the day.
There was a deal of whispering all
through morning services and after
the benediction there was perfect

The announcement was that the in
terror of the penitentiary was to be
done over and each inmate could select
the color ne liked best for his cell.
The warden explained that startling
psychological results were to be ex-
pected II the men chose wisely, for
constent harmony between aura and
surroundings made the perfect human.
The tentative selections were some

prowess. AS it was a delegation was
appointed to call on the warden to pro-

they would pack up and leave.
Bull, it appeared, had snapped up

Peter swallowed hard two or three
times, as if he were trying to swallow

Like Federal Law
This clause comedies with the Fed
eral law. The present state law per-
mits such practice and creates con-
fusion.
The Fcaron-Smith bill also, it is
pointed out, contains the essential
provisions of the Whitney law govern
ing the commitment of addicts. A
companion bill also requires local
health officials to provide suitable
places for the care and treatment Of
addicts at public expense.
Objection to the Twomey- -McLaugh-
lin bill is said to be duo to the fac.
that the bill merely transfers the
officers to new bureau or division
in the State Department Of Health and
leaves the entire Whitney law in force
1t is claimed that the present Whitney
law imposes intolerablc conditions
upon the legitimate practice OF medi-
cine. The Fearop- Smith bill, it is said
gets rid Of such conditions. This bill
is said to be the same which was in
dorsed by the house Of delegates Of
the State Medical Society in 1920 and
was approved by the Kings County
Medical Society last year.
