NEW YORK, May 20-Postmaster
General James A. Farley, State and
national Democratic chairman, last
night delivered an Endorsement Of Gov
Herbert H. Lehman in q speech re-
garded in some quarters as approval
Of a fourth term for the incumbent
Addressing the opening session Of
the second annual convention Of the
Affiliated Young Democrats Of New
York State. Mr.. Farley said:
There never was time in the his
tory Of our State when we have had
a man who has done his duty more
efficiently or well than our present
governor, Herbert H. Lehman"
His commendation Of Gov. Lehman
was the first direct praise from a
prominent administration member for
any Of the several potential candidates
for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination.
It was received by the Young Demo-
Gratis with particular interest because
of the Governors crossing with the
New Deal forces last year in denounc-
ing the Supreme Court reorganization
proposal.
Mr. Farley's statement followed
closely upon the announcement of a
movement to draft Robert F. Wagner
for reelection to the United States
Senate rather than as a candidate for
governor.

The vital rail junction was COM

nounced, and their army was closing
In on $4,000 Chinese troops, said to
be trapped in the Suchow vicinity.
Japan's conquest of the Lunghal
Railway, China's east-west lifeline"
through Suchow. was extended by the
navy, which landed force Of marines
at Lienyunkang, port OF HaichoW on
the Yellow Sea, eastern terminus OF
the railway.
Stiff Resistance Met.
A navy communique said the ma
rines met stiff resistance, but with the
aid of bombing planes dispersed the
Chinese defenders.
Lienyunkang was the last important
port north of Shanghai remaining in
Chinese hands A netherlands COM
pony completed construction of mod
ern harbor there for China only in
1896. The town of Haichow. 140 miles
east of Suchow, is several miles inland.

 The subcommittee will consider methods for having the controller remove abated and uncollecEible old- age assistance taxes from the tax collectors account, these amounting to about $12,O00 for the last three years and including persons on re- lief, too poor to pay and over age.
 Regarding this lstterly category, Aldermanic President Patrick M. Perriello inquired about the persons who have been billed but are over age. @

'Payless' Weeks Face
 Truckers, Collectors
Controller Rowland Fails to Submit Bills to Board of
 Finance-Special Provisions Must Be Made

wages due, 36 truckers, with about three weeks pay due, will not get their money until some indefinite period. The garbage collectors spent a "payless" Thanksgiving Day after James P. Purcell, holdover account ant, misplaced" vouchers, accord ing to his statement to Supervisor James F. Sheehan.
 Special Provision
 Nor will the controller present such sheets for approval until the "regu- lar" meeting of the board Thursday, he informed the board yesterday, in answer to a direct question. This will mean that the board must make special provision Thursday, if the bills of the truckers and garbage collectors are listed on the warrants payable sheets, so that the men may get their long overdue pay thi; week.
 The controller has estimated that the city will have 8 balance" oi $3S,500 at the end of the year if the state and military tax is paid by December 10, without the penalty But he has appeared to favor the payment of about $1 800 in penalty to insure his being clear of possible tie-up of city financial affairs at the years end.
 The finance commissioners have failed to accede to this aspect o. the controllers economy program whereby the city would pay g per cent interest as penalty. The board has sought various means to obtain use of funds to carry through to the end of the year, but has not beer successful 50 far.
 In addition to the non-payment oi garbage collectors and truckers whom the controller was ordered tc pay at least once every two weeks on two occasions when complaint showed that his office had beer holding up wages for 10 weeks tc three months, the condition of city streets after recent snow storm: devolves in blame onto the financia status of the funds for snow removal
 Transfer Approved
 Finally, yesterday, after the con- troller would not agree to hiring o1 extra trucks so the city's snow loader could be used, shortage of money was the cited reason, the board ap- proceed transfer of $2.500 to the snow removal item and this was passed last night by the aldermen.

eral-city million dollar project re- mains in abeyance.
 Larger Crowd Coming
 Aldermanic President Patrick M. Perriello announced at the open- ing of the meeting that the zoning hearing would not be held and the delegation departed, announcing that they would return in much larger numbers when the hearing is held. Among those opposing the housing project, of which William M. Harris is chairman, and pres- ent last night were: Norman Neale, of Root 6 Boyd; Frederick L. Nuhn, Milton Allerton, representing real estate dealers; Anthony Di- Bl0sio, Charles J. Velte, John M. Hutchinson, Fred Johnson, repre- senting the Waterbury Savings bank, William Blatherwick and Louis Cipriano.
 The opposition, including build ing tradesmen and contractors, hold that the erection of $20-per-month tenement houses" on Chase avenue would abort rental of existing prop erty there, thus menacing revenue to the point where the property owners could not pay taxes.
 After passing number of trans fers recommended by the board of finance, including one of $12,291 for food in the welfare department, committee reported back on proposed resembling of n earlier vote on a transfer" of $4,000 from the Children's Home Commission, the changing of the action to an Appropriation.
 Arguments Start
 Then is when the evenings ar- gument started, what with the com mittee declining to sign the report favoring this particular transaction in the concern that 1t might be controversial"
 It was. During nearly half hour of retort and repartee. Democratic Aldermanic Leader Thomas P. Kelly attacked the proposal that the board of aldermen "has the right to re-appropriate", as the recom- mendation emanating from the of-

flee of Controller Sherwood l.. Rowland apparently intended.
 The board of finance had siIni- lar difficulty with the mistake" in the controllers office which resulted in the proposal that the aldermen rescind the earlier vote to ''trans- fer" the sum from the Children'S Home Commission trust fund to the item care of children in pri- vate homes; set 1t up as an "appro- priationnt
 Alderman Kelly pointed out that if the money has been appropriated it cannot be '.re-appropriated" and urged that the corporation counsel be asked for a ruling on procedure,
 When the committee had report ed, Republican Aldermanic Leader George L. Kingston arrived and moved for passage of the commit tee report. Whereupon Alderman Kelly, who earlier had asked ln light aside of Aldermanic President Periello whether "the meeting should start without the boss, 7 asked Alderman Kignston what he knew about the report.
 T trust the committee" replied the Republican leader.
 Rights Challenged
 Aldermen Kelly and Perriello en- gagged in quasi-serious pickering over the rights of the former to be heard on the Kingston motion to pass the transfer with the chair man declaring Alderman Kelly "out of order" when the latter insisted that he be heard on the right of personal privilege.
 The semi-sarcastic repartee con- tinued throughout the meeting un- til the point where Alderman Bur- ton H. Walker inquired:
 "Who is the authority for saying that we should appropriate instead of transfer this item?"
 Told by City Clerk John F. Fitz- maurice that the finance board made the request, Alderman Walk CT remarked that he thought the aldermen should have an opinion from the corporation counsel.
 Alderman Kelly said that the al- dermen apparently had made a mistake on the first vote to 'trans- fer" and that 1t appeared. to him that a second mistake could be averted by getting 8 legal ruling on the matter.
 Climax Reached
 The climax came when Alder man Kelly presented a copy of the charter to President Perriello in- quiring if the chairman could find anything In this which allows us to re-appropriate money?
 The Republicans voted to approve the "re-appropriation".

afternoon ana sought $2,SUU 70 allow for Ahiring of extra trucks, thereby assuring ultimate use of the snow loader, kept inactive because of inadequate funds. The money was transferred from the contin- gency reserve fund on board ap- prOval and the snow loader and extra trucks are in action today, as- surfing at long last that the streets. will be cleared in next to jig time. {
 Constant Service
 A schedule providing for constant servicing of the snow loader by the extra trucks went into effect early today with the superintendent hope ful for warmer weather so that the several inches of caked-in ice will not form into ruts before the de- partment can clear the highways.
 A balance of about $5,70O was reported in the snow removal ap- propriation, but this will be utilized for truck hire during the remainder of the year. Should there be no snow in the month starting day after tomorrow, then another emergency transfer is not anticipated as essen tial.
 The suggestion of Controller Sher- wood l.. Rowland that the tax col- lector be requested to list all de- linquent taxpayers whose debts to the city amounted to 1000 or more, was termed impractical by Commis- sioners John H. Goss and Major w. Judge.
 Tax Collector William A. Ennis was given high tribute by the com missioners for his campaign on back tax collection this year. With Mayor Frank Hayes, the commits sioners lauded the efficiency of Tax Collector Ennis and deprecated the controllers attempt to undertake i1- clusion of duties other than his own as impractical.
 Opinions from Corporation Coun- sel Charles s. O'Connor closed the door to the possibility that the city might borrow in anticipation of sewer and street layout assessments or from unexpected bond funds at this time of the year for current ex- penses. The commissioners, term ing ridiculous" the suggestion of the controller that a g per cent pen atty be paid the state for delaying payment of the $122,500 state and military tax until the first of the year, sought some method whereby the city might borrow from avail able funds.
 Borrowing
 T still claim that the word 'bor- rowing" is not applicable hen, ? Mayor Hayes remarked after reading of the corporation counsels opin-
