lican Joseph w. Baldwin, all of
New York, said that New York is
a unique city and warrants special
consideration.
IT you pass through Times
Square and see the number of SER
vicemen walking around" Celler
said, you would understand why
you can't impose a midnight cur
few on recreation in New York.
When a serviceman gets a 4-hour
pass and comes to New York, he's
reluctant to waste any minute of
it. He's going to get his recreation
both before and after midnight,
Mr.. Eyrnes Notwithstanding"
Bloom said that New York can
not be judged by the same STAN
dards as Chicago, Philadelphia or
any other city.
I'm not saying that New York
ers should receive special privi-
leges," he added, "but I do think
it would be perfectly in order to
allow the city to extend the cur
few to loo am. there. After all,
the mayor was aware of the local
conditions which made the mid
night curfeW too early"
But some other legislators sided
with Byrnes. Sen. Charles w. To-
hey, R-N. H. said I agree with
Justice Byrnes exactly. I'm sorry
Mayor LaGuardia did what he has
done" Sen. Harland J. Bushfield,
(R-S. d. said I'm all for Byrnes.
New York isn't entitled to excep-
tons any more than Chicago or
Cincinnati"
Byrnes was surprised and cha
grined by LaGuardia's challenge.
He assailed the Little Flower
for trying to make an exception Of
his city, but he conceded that with.
out the cooperation of LaGuardia' S
police department the Government
| is poWerless to make the midnight
deadline stick.
Measures of this type adopted
by the Federal Government mus
apply uniformly throughout the
country" he said. 1--WE cannot SCI

and another standard for the res
OF the country
But again he acknowledged that
without cooperation of local police
departments, the Government wa!
powerless to bring violators tt
book other than by depriving then
Of manpower, food, fuel and trans
portation.
Officials agree that imposing
such sanctions in city the SIZE
of New York would be almost i'm
possible. In the first place the pc
lice would have to report viola
tors. LaGuardia has instructed
them not to do so.
When Byrnes issued his sdic

Byrnes Admits Inability
To Enforce Curfew Edict

powers in War ManpoWer Commits
sioner Paul v. McNutt. The edict
never was formally lagalized by
being published in the Federal Ga
zette, hence enforcement is a mat
ter of local cooperation.
The Government has no police
force of its own available to dis
cover local violations" Byrnes
said. 1T has no intention of build
ing up such a force. 1t is OBJ
vious that this effort would in Itself
be a diversion from the war Ell
fort"
The order was issued under war
time powers delegated to Byrnes
by the President. Byrnes depended
upon appeals to patriotism ano
sanctions by McNutt to bring abou
Nationwide observance.
In Congress meanwhile, Sen
Styles Bridges, (R-N. H. challeng
ed Byrnes either to enforce the
curfew in New York or to remove
it throughout the country. He con-
demned LaGuardia's defiance.
"There is no excuse in the worlc
for one man and one city placing
themselves above the rest of the
country" he said. II think Mr.
Byrnes should take immediate
action to enforce the curfew ir
New York, or he should lift it If
the country as a whole"
Byrnes said he was gratified by
the public response to the curfeW
as well as by the nranpower anc
transportation savings it has
brought, and added that the Gov
eminent has no intention of with
drawing it.

HEARING TODAY ON
 BOND ISSUANCES
City Seeks Authority to Raise $l,4OO,OOO for
 Two Projects

City officials attended today'l hearing before the legislative fl. nance committee of which Senator Patrick Wallace is clerk relative tC the citys request that it be per- mitted to issue $1 400. GOO on bonds to defray costs of a proposed afr port, the city's share to be $780, 900 and sewerage system in amount of $750,0G0.
 Officials attending the hearing are: Mayor Monagan; City Con- troller Neil F. Maloney, City Budget Director, A. E. Furlong, City Cor poration Counsel M. T. Healey, City Planning Engineer, T. l.. Scott Smith and Assistant City Engineer Henry Whitlock.
 Also up for hearing today is the proposed citys assessors bill where by a five man board of tax com missioners will be abolished foi replacement by chief assessor and two assistants.
 The bill is comparable to that designed by Republican interest two years ago which at that time was passed but subsequently, vetoed by Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin. The present bill, however, calls for ap- pointment of the chief assessor by the board of finance rather than the majority of the board of alder man
 The present bill likewise calls for the elimination of the three man board of tax review from elec- tive selection by the people so that they might be appointed by the Mayor.

 Let us observe this day in our churches and homes in reverent prayer and fasting. In these times of mortal strife when so many brave souls are making the sac vifice of life for the ideal of hu- nan freedom, the lesson of Cal vary and Easter morn overcomes he fears that appall us and gives as complete assurance that God py ways beyond human understand ing has made provision for life eternal"

NO AGE LIMIT FOR
 YOUNG COP CLUB
Present Board of Directors Found "IIIegaI";; Club De-
 lays Endorsement

Members of the Young Republican Club last night voted to amend its bylaw to permit the president to allow members over 40 years of agN to be seated as members of the board of directors. The resolution was introduced by Edward M. Ryan and seconded.
 Nature of the resolution was that the present board of directors is illegally seated" in asmuch as tho bylaws of the club do not permit members over 40 years of age to hold office as majority of the board. The present board is said to consist mainly of men over the age limit.
 Concurrent with seconding of the resolution members of the present board resigned. These consisted Of Atty. Maurice Gruskay Alderman William Kolbeck, Frank Rossi, Louif Shaker and William Curtis.
 MT. Ryan's resolution asked that the age bylaw be "expunged" from the club regulations. If ex- punged there will be no age limit for the candidates for presidency of the office while if not expung- ed there Is little likelihood, it was stated, of the club being able to appoint board of directors. inas- much as the clause reads that the majority of the board must not be over 40 years of age, and at pres ent there are but two members under the 40 limit. The board consists of members.
 Pres. Samuel Cervero announced that he will call a meeting in the near future to act on the pro- posal since, under present rules an amendment to the clubs constitu- ton cannot be acted upon the same night that 1t is proposed.
 No action was taken on the pro- posed indorsement of Robert F. Stone for the post of state athletic commissioner. In February dele gates to the New Haven County Young Republican league meeting at The Elton voted that Stones support was a matter for decision by the Waterbury club alone.
 The next meeting of the New Haven County Young Republican league will be held in New Haven at the Hotel Garde ballroom, March 29 at 8 D. m. Albert Schia- vone of the Waterbury club is president of the league.
