 Under bill passed by the Gen. eral Assembly last spring the cap- tain can be retired only if he re- quests a pension or if the fire chief requests MT. Lamphere be retired on pension.

 After much discussion during which a suggestion was made that Capt. Lamphere be given half-pay for month, the board decided to extend the leave of absence at full pay until Aug. 31. In the meantime the fire committee of the board will confer with the fire chief on the matter. According to the original motion by Burgess Creslo Klimasew- ski, the committee is to ask the fire chief why Capt Lamphere has not resigned. However, after the vote was taken. MT.

smoke blanket indicated the COM

as In his present job.
After talking 1t over We decided
to leave it open and the Mayor as
sured me he would always be avail
able If needed" Mr.. Stimson told

The Secretary said he feels that
Mayor La Guardia is "in his present
once rendering directly to New York
and indirectly to the Nation" serv-
ices of great value.
There had been some talk of max
ing Mayor La Guardia. who was
major and flyer in the last war. a
brigadier general, perhaps with an
assignment especially affecting Italy,
since he is of italian ancestry.
However, President Roosevelt said
recently that he had no plans to
nominate him for commission.
