Sander Suit Results From
 Recent Strike
Joseph Carey Also Alleges Firm Illegally Seized
 His Truck

Suit for $5,OO0 was insti- tuted in superior court today by Joseph Carey, 57 Bronx avenue, against Lewis Brothers and Clark Lewis, an aftermath of the recent strike of local produce con- cern truck drivers. The strike has been settled, and the drivers are back to work. Carey seeks damages for an alleged conversion of a truck owned by him, to the use of Lewis brothers, and for islander by Lewis. His, story is told in the writ filed in connection with the suit.
 He claims that during the strike, Juanry g, 1889, he had been re- leased from hospital after an in- jury, when he learned that a truck, owned by him. but registered in the name of the defendant, Lewis, was being operated against the strikers. The truck was bought by him the previous April, he said, but Lewis has signed a note neces- sary to the purchase, therefore the car was registered in Lewis name. Carey paid all notes and expenses of the truck, he alleges.
 After being discharged from the hospital, he went to the Lewis con- cern and started to take his truck, but Lewis called police, and forced him to give it up, calling him an "im- poster and crook, according to the writ. The truck at present is be- ing used day and night by the com- pany, he says.
 He seeks $50 weekly for the use of the truck, and additional damages because of the alleged islander. He is represented by Attorney Joseph c. Gllilfoile.

RELIGION Forbids Parade Plea,
Leader Quoted at Hearing

God gave us permission to pa

District laws ahead of God"
This was the statement of the
leader Of group of Jehovah's Wit
nesses, Detective John Apostolides
testified at Police Court today in the
case of 16 of the group charged with
parading on Fourteenth street NV.
without permit on May 27
Under questioning by Assistant
Corporation Counsel Michael Keane,
the detective told Judge Hobart
Newman that the leader, Malcolm
Downie, told him it would be
against their religion to get a per-
nit when God has already given
permission"
The officer said about 10 of them

If he had a permit from Supt. of
Police Ernest w. Brown, Detective
Apostolides testified, he was given
the answer 1t was against the
theory" of their religion to do so.
Mr.. Downie, however, denied from
the witness stand that he made
those remarks to the officer, saying
he only told him Supreme Court
decision" gave them the right to
conduct such procession.
Defense Attorney o. R. Moyle of
Brooklyn. N. Y, filed a motion to
dismiss the case, contending that
section 81, article II of the traffic
regulations requiring permit to

it denies the right of freedom of

dom Of worship. Judge Newman
asked counsel on both sides to file
briefs in the case and set next We'd

bankhead Friends
May Propose Him
As 1910 Nominee
Informal Discussion
Bosed on Decision
Of Roosevelt

Presidential talk buzzing In DO.
litical circles embraced today the
unusual possibility that the names
OF the presiding officers Of both SEN
ate and House would be presented to
the 1910 Democratic convention.
Friends Of William B. Bankhead
Of Alabama, 65-year-old Speaker OF
the House, said there had been some
informal discussion Of his candi-
dacy, though without any encour-
agement from him, If President
Roosevelt does not run. If the
President does seek third term, Mr..
Bankhead may be proposed as his
running mate.
Boosters Of Vice President Garner,
70-year-old officer Of the Senate, al
ready have announced Mr.. Gamers
name would be placed In nomina-
tipn regardless Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
decision.
Won't Expand Statement.
Senator Hill Of Alabama, asked
about the Bankhead talk, said:
"The Speaker must speak for him.
self, but friends in Alabama, and
more particularly members Of the
Alabama delegation, would seize any
opportunity to present his name to
the next convention"
Senator Hill would not expand on
this statement, but it was limited
that his reference to ANY opportu-
nifty" meant Speaker Bankheads
name would be proposed only If the
President withdrew.
A somewhat similar situation was
developing around the candidacy of
Paul v. McNutt, high commissioner
to the Philippines and former Indi-
ana Governor.
Senator Minton, Democrat, of In
diana said the entire McNutt cam.
palgn Is predicated on the assump.
tion the President will not run"
Commissioner McNutt is due in San
Francisco June %, He Is returning
presumably to resign his Philippine
post and lead his own drive for the
presidential nomination.
McHale Quoted.
Senator Minton said Frank Nc.
Hale, Indiana national committee.
man and manager of the McNutt-
for-President campaign, had told
him the McNutt drive would be
dropped if the President sought re.
election. Mr.. McHale added at In.
dianapolis:
I'VE have no authentic informa-
tion that either President Roosevelt
or Vice President Garner are actual
ly candidates for the presidential
nomination.
Therefore, We are following out
| the mandate of the Democratic
State convention in Indiana in 1888
wherein the delegates placed Paw
v. McNutt before the people of the
country as candidate for the nomi.
nation in 1940."
Speaker Bankhead would not dis
cuss his own possible candidacy. Like
many members of Congress, he il
understood to feel it is too early to
talk about l94O
Like Mr.. Garner, he is one Of the
senior members of Congress. He il

P. w. A. Administrator 1ckes, it
was learned today, soon will tell
the Federal Monopoly Committee
that private capital would invest
half a billion dollars in any new
public works program which Con-
gress might undertake.
Aides said Senator OMahoney,
Democrat, of Wyoming, asked Sec
retary Ickes to prepare to testify be-
fore the committee, which President
Roosevelt recently charged with
ascertaining why a large part of
our vast reservoir of money and saw
ings have remained idle in stagnant
pools"
: The P. w. A. head. they added,
expects to present $500 applications
pending for Sits 100000 of new P.
w. A. projects. OF this number
4,500 would be for grants only and
involve an estimated local contri-
button of $703 100000.
Need for Loans Drops.
The Ickes exhibit, officials con-
tinued, would disclose that the ap-
pllcantS were ready to raise IS per
cent or about $500, 600, 900, through
sale of general obligation bonds, tax
anticipation warrants and revenue
bonds to private investors.
Senator O'Mahoney's request fol-
lowed correspondence with Mr.. Ickes
IN which the latter wrote that local
communities raised 87.7 per cent of
their snare of construction costs
on 1938-39 projects, compared with
only 50.4 per cent for the l933-34
program.
Private capital" the Ickes letter
said, lis entering the P. w. A. con-
struction program in such increas-
Ing amounts that the necessity for
making Federal loans te help
finance municipal projects has drop
ped sharply"
He said some $500, 900 900 of private
funds had been drawn into p. w. A.
works since last June.
Tells Of Tax Law Fight.
Every time p. w. A. makes another
grant, Mr.. Ickes explained, addi-
tional private funds come into use
to match Federal aid.
Meanwhile. an official of the Asso-
citation Of Life Insurance Presidents
told the Monopoly Committee today
he made strenuous efforts in 1885
to prevent enactment of an "un-
favorable" insurance tax law by the
Florida Legislature.

counsel of the association, identified

made following pinch hit" trip
