New York Policemen
Assured Big Shots
Are Targets Of Probe
BY the Associated Press

NEW 1ofLh, OcC. 1S.-klngS
County Judge Samuel S. Leibo-
witz yesterday treasured patrol
man witness in police graft scan
dial that the Brooklyn rackets in
vestigators are out for the "big
shots" and would be lenient with
lesser offenders.
Proving his point, Judge Leibo-
Wltz dismissed a contempt charge
against the patrolman, John Gill
gan, but warned him to come
clean or be left holding the bag"
Mr.. Gilgan, one of the police
men accused of accepting a tele-
vision set from Harry Gross, big
time bookmaker, told the Brooklyn
grand jury he knew the TV set was
a gift, but didn't know who gave 1t
to him.
The judge urged Mr.. Gilgan to
talk things over with his attorney
and decide by Monday If he could
turn up information on the al
legged $1-million -a-year pay-off
to police by the operators of 500
million-a-year gambling ring.
Urged to Think of Children.
Saying he would try to save Mr..
Gilgan's job on the police force,
Judge Leibowitz added, We've
said time and again that we're
looking for the big shots"
Again to Mr.. Gilgan, father of
six children, Judge Leibowitz said,
"Why not think of those six kids
instead of thinking of those
cooks? Sooner or later the story
will come out and you will be left
holding the bag" ri
The district attorneys Office
said Mr.. Gilgan once ran a police
wire-tap on a restaurant near
Ebbets Field repeatedly patron
lied by Gross and his associates.
Special Assistant District Attor-
ney Malvin. Davidson told the
court that his Office believed some
of the recordings were tampered
with. Later Brooklyn District At
torney Miles F. Mcdonald and an
assistant, Julius Helfand, said they
had not yet received the transcript
data from the police department.
Retired Official Heard.
The jury also heard James Rear
don, an ex-plainclothesman, who
worked on the force for five years
and then retired to a Westport
Comm estate.
There was no indication, after
the hour and 40-minute session,
what Reardon was asked, or said.
Continuing his shakeup of the
police department, Commissioner
Thomas F. Murphy-without say
ing why-ordered IL detectives
denoted.
Mr.. Murphy's earlier order for
the appearance of 10 more plain
clothes policemen before the
grand jury resulted in two of
them quickly filing retirement
papers.

Fire Association Has 125 Delinquent Members

There are some 125 members of the. Valley Volunteer Fire As sociation whose dues are delin- quent, Association spokesman Al Hagen warned today. Dues for the new year were payable on July l, and to date only 25 of last years 150 members are paid up and in good standing.

 MT. Hagen reminded that the trucks and equipment of the As sociation are responsible for mem bers in good standing only. Vol unteers are obligated to answer no calls, except those to the homes and businesses of mem- bers.

All of the hustle and hustle of heavy equipment working in the Valley Theatre area for the past week won't bring any apparent and visible results for some months to come, owner Al Hagen said today. The net result for the present is to be two concrete re- taining walls around the open sides of the rectangle in the Thea tre area.
 However, the entire lot is being brushed off and prepared for con- struction, scheduled for the early spring months of 1851. MT. Hagen said present plans still were ex- tremely nebulous, but he expects to put up building of reinforced concrete and building blocks,

The State Highway Commits
sion has paved 1913 miles OF sec
ondary roads in Brunswick
County since the start OF the
accelerated road program last
summer.
Funds from the 5000, 600, 600
bond issue financed most OF this
mileage along with regular Sec
ondary road money. This repre-
sents only part of the total pro-
gram planned for Brunswick
County during the remainder OF
this year and in 1851, according
to A. Wilbur Clark, Third Divi-
sion highway commissioner.
Newly paved secondary roads
opened to the public during the
last IL months in Brunswick
County are as follows:
From Ash on NC $50 via Regain
toward Hickman's Crossroads,
ST miles; From US II near b.
livia toward Smiths, 4; From

Brunswick County's share of
the first S125, 100000 in bond
funds is S1.189, 125. With the eX-
ception of S391,959, this amount
has been allocated to specific
work in the county. The Second
airy Road Bond Act as passed
by the General Assembly divid-
ed the bond money equitably
among the 100 counties.
The cost of road construction
under the secondary program is
less than expected by the State
Highway Commission and conse-
quently more mileage of roads
may be paved under the program
than was expected in many areas.

Totally UnjustifiobIe'

The strike by 1000 AFL switchmen against
five Western and Midwestern railroads is one
more nail in the coffin of the Railway Labor Act
This statute does not forbid strikes. 1t was
intended to prevent rail strikes, however, by
setting up under Government auspices pro-
cedures for the settlement of disputes which
would be fair to both parties and which would
protect the public against loss of an essential
service. For while the law worked fairly we'll
Then the unions discovered that they could
have their cake and eat it, too-that they could
get everything recommended by the presidential
and get still more. The result is that the Rail-
way Labor Act is breaking down and its useful
ness is virtually at an end.
The Switchmen's strike is no exception. The
union wants, and has obtained 40-hour week
instead of 48-hour week. All that remains is
the question of what the men should be paid for
the shorter work week. The union wants the
same pay-the equivalent of an increase of 81
cents an hour. presidential board has COM
promised that issue by recommending an 18-
cent hourly increase, This was accepted by the
railroads, but the union rejected it and called
the strike.
DR.. Gordon S. Watkins, a member of the
board which made the settlement recommended

But the rail unions do not have to justify their
strikes. The cards are stacked in their favor,
and they know it.

This and That

years-well, not quite that many, but
certainly some thousands.
Let us compromise on several hun
dred!
In those days every one walked paths.
and as settlements came into being. the
paths gradually turned into walks.
America has invented many ways of
making them smooth and easy.
The smooth city pavement seems to
be the peak Of all pavements or walk
ways, owing to its perfect smoothness.
Yet, a never satisfied clientele insists
that brick walks are better.
The trouble with brick sidewalk is in
the way it too often is laid.
Put down on earth, it permits grass
to grow up through it.
If somewhat curved, as looks best, it
presents something Of trap to the un-
wary walker. especially after grass has
grown up through the cracks and moss
has gathered on the bricks.
Between the grass and the moss, the
average brick walk. while undoubtedly
thing blending well with the suburban
scene, is mostly unused. Women'S high
heels, in particular, were never made
for the old-fashioned brick walk.
In Colonial days when Philadelphia
was called the "red CITY," on account Of
its almost total brick construction. side
walks we're better than muddy roadways.
But that was all.
