MAYOR PROBING
SALE OF FISH
Violation of City Charter
Claimed; Alderman Gold
berg Name in Complaint

Mayor Patrick Perriello said that
afternoon he planned an ilvestiga-
ton Of claims that the citys charter
Is being violated in the sale Of fish
to Brookside home by Eddy's Sea
Food Market, Inc, IN which Alder
man Edward Goldberg is interested.
1t Is charged that the charter Is be.
ing violated In that Alderman Gold
berg is a member of the board Of
public welfare, which approves the
purchases made for Brookstde.
The mayor said he planned to
confer with Controller Martin j..
Sweeney before making any COM
ment. The controller indicated q
belief that there was no violation Of
the charter provisions, and said that
fish for Brookside was being pur-
chased from the Eddy establish
ment.
Both the old charter and the re-
vised one prohibit the member Of
any city board from selling goods or
materials to that board, but allow
sales to any other city departments.
The revised charter, drafter by Sen
ator George T. Culhane, contains q
provision excluding corporations
from this ban, though stating that
such corporations cannot be formed
only for the purpose Of getting
around the charter.
The city director lists Alderman
Goldberg as president and treasurer,
of Eddy's Sea Food Market, Inc, and
Mrs. Ida Goldberg as secretary.

fensive in the west, or to remain
inactive under the Britiah contra
band cotrol."
Belief was expressed that Ger
many would concentrate not on hit
ting the French Maginot line in
force but on breaking the British
blockade.
Neutral circles, interpreting such
statements as this, got the idea that
Germany in pursuit of Its military
theory that attack Is the best de-
Tense, would seek to break the Brit
ish control with the two weapons
available airplanes and sub
marines.
There was some belief that Ger
many before concentrating all its
power in the west would make at
least one more attempt to conclude
a peace on the basis Of the present
status.
An official source, commenting on
complaints that German submarines
were sinking neutral ships in the
Baltic, said that 1t would be trea-
sonable if German ships did not
sink such vessels when they were
carrying war materials to Great
Britain.
As regards British and French
suggestions that Germany might
attack in the west through Bel
GUM, the Netherlands or Switzer-
land, an official spokesman said
that Germany had said repeatedly
that 1t would observe strict neutral
ity in relations with these and other
neutralS,

Il do not wish to imply that we
are preparing for war or that we
are in any way mobilizing our arm
ed forces" he said. The admins
tration is only taking reasonable
precautions to insure that our peace
and that our rights as a neutral and
as peace loving nation shall be
respected.
"As have said many times, I, too,
hate and abhor war and war max
efs. Yet I am not unmindful of the
serious threat to our, peace and Sc
curity in the present European and
Far Eastern situations. To my mind;
these conditions tend to menace the
very foundations of democratic gov
eminent throughout the world. We
cannot overlook, from a national and
personal viewpoint, the seriousness
Of the economic dislocation which Is
bound to be the result of a world
holocaust such as has now been
forced upon U.S."
Woodring was unable to attend the
convention because of official duties
at Washington and he assigned
Brig. Gen. Frank M. Andrews Of the
War Department general staff to
read his speech.
Gov. Leverett Saltonstall of Mas
sachusetts told the convention that
the unwavering determination of
the United States must be to keep
itself clear" of the European war.
He recommended that the United
States remain neutral to assist in
rehabilitation of the world when
. the war ends.
The convention will continue
through Thursday. One of the high
lights will be a 15-hour parade to-
morrow on Michigan Boulevard.
