New Fire Equipment
 Demanded By Walker
Alderman Threatens to Vote Against Budget Until Estimate for Apparatus Is In It-'AbOut-FaCe' Noted

irresistible force" to the Repub- lican aldermen is to be found in their membership where Alderman Bur- ton H. Walker, member of the fire board and its ardent champion in demands for new equipment, is talk ing 8 stand for more equipment or else. Alderman Walker will not vote for approval of the budget.
 The Aldermen, according to char ter, may reduce budgetary provi- vions by majority vote but may not add to them without two-thirds vote of the board. Thus, it appears that a Stalemate may result when the Republican group, lead by Alder manic Leader George L. Kingston, may attempt reduction of budgets to decrease the tax rate with Alder man Walker adamant over an il- crease of the fire departments ap- propriatino to provide money for a new truck.
 Protect Lives"
 Alderman Walker told The Demo- crat last night that he couldn't vote for budget which failed to provide sufficient funds for the fire department to protect the lives of its personnel"
 He has maintained that much of the fire department equipment is so frail with age as to endanger lives of the firemen. That the budget calls for two new booster pumps, $17,000, does not appease Alderman Walker. He figures that economies, if they are to be provided, should come for other portions of the governmental Set-up.
 Similarly, agitation by the Work CTS Alliance and affiliated groups of the c. I. O., will mark the planned public hearings which Alderman predicted last night will be held. These groups seek more funds for welfare and relief and Alder man Kingston's public hearings will be marked with protest over further economies" in that department.

Kemp allegedIy divided fees. He and seven others were indicted with the former appraiser and win be tried at Q later date.
 On direct examination Cooke tes- tified he had split commissions with Kemp after the latter had given him Heads" as to the route of the parkway and the property owners whose land was necessary for it's completion.
 Questioned by the defense, he said he believed there was nothing wrong" in this arrangement and that prior to Kemp's association with the highway department they had operated under a similar are rangement in other transactions.
 Kemp specifically was charged with splitting commissions with Cooke in 19 sales. Cooke produced checks indorsed by Cooke in several instances, showing his share of the fees and testified that in most of the sales Kemp preferred to receive a check drawn to leash"
 Awaiting to testify for the state was Samuel J. Silberman, Stamford real estate broker and another of those indicted. Kemp was alleged to have shared fees with Silberman in S7 sales.

 The Garner-For-P President move ment has smoldered in Texas for months. Several cities instructed their delegates to the State Demo- cratic Convention in September to support such a movement. But a resolution endorsing him for preSi- dent was tabled, "to avoid any pos sible split in the party before 194O.n
 Makes No Comment
 Garner has made no comment on the 1940 presidential race and those close to him say he won't = at least until the President has de- clared himself on the subject of a third term.
 Those who called today's meeting followed Texas tradition of launch ing a political campaign at the early home of their candidate. They were given facilities of the gy1nnasi- uln of Detroit's new school, built on the site of the logsbuilding where Garner studied reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic and the scrip tyre."
 He walked six miles to school from the log cabin in which he was born on November 9, 1869. The cabin itself was a mecca for the visitors. He lived in it until he left Detroit.
 He was elected to the Texas legis- lature in 1898 and served two terms. In 1903 he began 30 year tenure in Congress, becoming speaker in 1881 and president in 1883.

 "He did not"
 State Protested
 But you are not, Keogh start ed to ask, when he was interrupted by an objection by Willis.
 The state protested the line of questioning and was upheld by Judge Frank P. McEvoy.
 Keogh took another tack. He drew from Cooke an adrnis- sion he had not yet been put to plea on the conspiracy charges on which he was indicted.
 What does that mean if you have not been promised anything?" he asked.
 Nothing" Cooke replied.

Threat of the Republican alder men to attempt manipulation of the I939, budget which calls for a 35- min tax rate, increase of four mills over the present year, was voiced today.

 All this change has occurred with fin the past several weeks, represent ing an about-face for the Repub- lican officials and press from the stand early this year when employ ment of Griffenhagen & Associates was demanded by the same faction.
