North Broadway, at a court of awards held there this week to end the season's activities. Dorothy Bon- nie received campcraft. cook, hospitality, rocks and minerals badges: Carol Thorn, campcraft. backyard camper, outdoor cook and games, and Patricia Torhan, the campcraft, child care, cook and dressmaker emblems.

Trial Delay Held Fault Of Juries SARANAC (AP) — A presiding justice in the Supreme Court's Appellate Division said yesterday jury trials were the "root of de- lay" leading to the heavy back- log of court cases. Justice David W. Peck of the Appellate Division's 1st Depart- ment, covering New York City, urged lawyers to agree to try their cases solely before a judge. He contended that it takes three times as long to conduct a trial by jury. Justice Peck participated in a symposium at the Summer meet- ing of the New York State Bar Association. About 850 lawyers and their wives are attending the meeting, which opened Thursday. But Clarence R. Runals of Ni- agara Falls, a vice president of the association, argued in favor of trial by jury. "The jury trial is not the cause of the delay, nor is it a sub- statial factor in calendar con- gestion," he said. "The time consumed in trial by jury in the ordinary neg- ligence case is but little greater than the time that should be con- sumed in a trial by judge with- out jury." Justice Peck and Mr. Runals shared the speakers' platform with presiding Justice Sydney F. Foster of the Appellate Division's 3d Department and State Senator John H. Hughes, Syracuse Re- publican.

SHANNON TUCKAHOE— From Long Island to the St. Lawrence <vith intermediate stops between, the Legislature's "watchdog" committee, of which Assemblyman William F. Horan of Eastchester is chairman, has a busy Summer in prospect. Formally titled the Joint Leg- islative Committee on Govern- ment Operations, the Horan com- mittee has wide authority to look into any phase of government in any part of the state, and an ap- propriation of $250,000 to carry on its work. The close scrutiny it is giving to Democratic-con trolled administrations of the state and elsewhere has earned it the more familiar "watchdog" ttile. TIPS FOR TEENS Jehovah's Witnesse§ To Attend Convention Yonkers Congregation of Je- hovah's Witnesses will have no meetings this weekend, to permit attendance at a semi-annual, three-day convention at Stam- ford, Conn., High School. Participants will include Hugh M. Downie of 139 Livingston Avenue, who has been appointed assembly chairman; John H. Fields of 81 Garden Street, and Ciro Aulicino of 111 Park Hill Avenue, music director. A film, "Happiness In the New World Society," will be shown. The Stamford convention will be the first to see it. Peak attendance is expected at 3 P.M. tornorrow when an antici- pated audience of 1,400 will hear J. W. Stuefioten speak on "Con- sulting God on World Affairs." All sessions are free to the public Yonkers members of Je- hovah's Witnesses will escort in> terested persons. This is a Presidential election year and Governor Harriman is a leading contender for the Dem- ocratic nomination. Democrats claim that the Republican-con- trolled committee is interested mainly in trying to dig up ma- terial useful for campaign pur- poses. Further, the minority contends, another chief committee aim is to attempt to gloss over the reve- lations by J. Irwin Shapiro, State Investigations Commissioner, a Democrat, of alleged wrongdoing by Republicans in Suffolk and elsewhere. The Horan committee has giv- en little cause for claims of po- litical motives. It has carried on most of its work thus far with a minimum of publicity. In fact, its revelations of what it is do- Peekskill Man's Tip Saved Washington, Letter Shows CHICAGO (AP)—Details of a Revolutionary War plot against George Washington and two gov- ernors were made public yester- day. They were in a letter written by Gen. Washington, who relayed a report of a plan to kill or kid- nap the Colonial leaders. The letter was in a large col- lection recently purchased by Ralph Newman, operator of a Chicago book store. Mr. Newman gave a newsman excerpts from the letter and filled in some other parts in paraphrase. He said Gen. Washington wrote it to Governor George Clinton of New York. It was from New Windsor, Conn., and was dated April 7, 1781. "That which Is written below was this instant sent to me by General Heath," the letter be- gan. "It is a duty I owe to friend- ship to transmit the account as I received it." The account attributed to a Mr. Backman of Peekskill, N. Y., a tip that the English had sent out four parties of men.

The committee has offices at 270 Broadway in Manhattan. From that center its staff of at- torneys, accountants and investi- gators is busy sifting through a mass of complaints, rumors and information. The committee has adopted a policy of not making its activities public, or of making charges until all the facts are known. Probe In Patchogne To date it is known that the committee staff has been inquir- ing into the affairs of Democrat- ic-controlled Patchogue in Suffolk County, and into complaints con- cerning alleged activities of per- sons employed by the Niagara Frontier Authority.

Mr. Horan said that most of the committee work has been carried on thus far by "a sub- committee set up for convenience and efficiency as much of the organization and prelimnary work has of necessity been han- dled at the New York City office.

By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED If conditions everywhere were always Ideal there would be no quarrelsome children, no unhap- py ones and no disgruntled par- ents. But situations are seldom ideal and children are thrust to- gether not because they especi- ally like each other, but rather because they live close together and it is convenient for them to play. Most children get their initial experiences in play from neigh- bor-children whose variation in ages may make them unsuitable companions. Because of this, par- ents have to compromise with the idea of helping children to learn to get along. They must expect that there will be some quarrels, that older children will occasion- ally victimize the younger ones and take advantage of their smallness to elbow them off swings or tricycles, etc. It may be years before chil- dren learn to be unselfish and cooperative but the philosophical attitudes they get from their par- ents will help them to take what happens to them in stride and not go around with chips on their shoulders. 8>»u> Dtapntas Parents should not be saying "You do this and you do that," during childish play for then they, exert too much pressure on the children and don't give them an opportunity to learn to manage their own affairs. But they can't leave small chil- dren entirely without supervision J EMred and soma of the time they will 1 Paper. have to seitle disputes and help children to learn ways of getting along so that all of them can be happy. It is adults who can show chil- dren that all of -them will have equal advantages if they take turns using toys of which mere, are too few. They can give chil- dren numbers and set someone to be umpire and determine when* No. 2 has had his turn up and down the street and it is now time for No. 3 to have his. May End Play When the playing gets too rough and someone is being hurt or imposed upon, then the play may have to come to an end for a time. Sending a child home doesn't mean that he can't come back some other time, but mere- ly for the moment no one la hav- ing fun so playing alone is in order. There it no reason for moth- ers to go to the mat with each other over the quarrels of chil- dren. Each parent must take some responsibility for watching the.group unobtrusively some of the time, and for that time she shall be the boss and determine how things shall be done. This is all in the interest of neigh- borhood amity as well as good times for the children.

Trial Delay Held Fault Of Juries

SARANAC (AP) — A presiding justice in the Supreme Court's Appellate Division said yesterday jury trials were the "root of de­lay" leading to the heavy back­log of court cases.

Justice David W. Peck of the Appellate Division's 1st Depart­ment, covering New York City, urged lawyers to agree to try their cases solely before a judge. He contended that it takes three times as long to conduct a trial by jury.

Justice Peck participated in a symposium at the Summer meet­ing of the New York State Bar Association. About 850 lawyers and their wives are attending the meeting, which opened Thursday.

But Clarence R. Runals of Ni­agara Falls, a vice president of the association, argued in favor of trial by jury.

"The jury trial is not the cause of the delay, nor is it a sub-statial factor in calendar con­gestion," he said.

"The time consumed in trial by jury in the ordinary neg­ligence case is but little greater than the time that should be con­sumed in a trial by judge with­out jury."

Justice Peck and Mr. Runals shared the speakers' platform with presiding Justice Sydney F . Foster of the Appellate Division's 3d Department and State Senator John H. Hughes, Syracuse Re­publican.

POLITICAL ROUNDUP

It's 'Polities' Snort Democrats At Sniffing Of Horan 'Watchdogs'

By JOSEPH W. SHANNON TUCKAHOE—

From Long Island to the St. L a w r e n c e <vith intermediate stops between, the Legislature's "watchdog" committee, of which Assemblyman William F . Horan of Eastchester is chairman, has a busy Summer in prospect.

Formally titled the Joint Leg­islative Committee on Govern­ment Operations, the Horan com­mittee has wide authority to look into any phase of government in any part of the state, and an ap­propriation of $250,000 to carry on its work. The close scrutiny it is giving to Democratic-con trolled administrations of the state and elsewhere has earned it the more familiar "watchdog" ttile.

Jehovah's Witnesse§ To Attend Convention

Yonkers Congregation of Je­hovah's Witnesses will have no meetings this weekend, to permit attendance a t a semi-annual, three-day convention at Stam­ford, Conn., High School.

Participants will include Hugh M. Downie of 139 Livingston Avenue, who has been appointed assembly chairman; John H. Fields of 81 Garden Street, and Ciro Aulicino of 111 Park Hill Avenue, music director.

A film, "Happiness In the New World Society," will be shown. The Stamford convention will be the first to see it.

Peak attendance is expected at 3 P.M. tornorrow when an antici­pated audience of 1,400 will hear J. W. Stuefioten speak on "Con­sulting God on World Affairs."

All sessions are free to the public Yonkers members of Je­hovah's Witnesses will escort in> terested persons.

This is a Presidential election year and Governor Harriman is a leading contender for the Dem­ocratic nomination. Democrats claim that the Republican-con­trolled committee is interested mainly in trying to dig up ma­terial useful for campaign pur­poses.

Further, the minority contends, another chief committee aim is to attempt to gloss over the reve­lations by J. Irwin Shapiro, State Investigations Commissioner, a Democrat, of alleged wrongdoing by Republicans in Suffolk and elsewhere.

The Horan committee has giv­en little cause for claims of po­litical motives. It has carried on most of its work thus far with a minimum of publicity. In fact, its revelations of what it is do-

Peekskill Man's Tip Saved Washington, Letter Shows

CHICAGO (AP)—Details of a Revolutionary War plot against George Washington and two gov­ernors were made public yester­day.

They were in a letter written by Gen. Washington, who relayed a report of a plan to kill or kid­nap the Colonial leaders.

The letter was in a large col­lection recently purchased by Ralph Newman, operator of a Chicago book store. Mr. Newman gave a newsman excerpts from the letter and filled in some other parts in paraphrase.

He said Gen. Washington wrote it to Governor George Clinton of New York. I t was from New Windsor, Conn., and was dated April 7, 1781.

"That which Is written below was this instant sent to me by General Heath," the letter be­gan. "I t is a duty I owe to friend­ship to transmit the account as I received it."

The account attributed to a Mr. Backman of Peekskill, N. Y., a tip that the English had sent out four parties of men. Then, quot-

First Presbyterian Sets Vacation School

For the first time In many years, the First Presbyterian Church will conduct a Daily Va­cation Church School. It will open Wednesday at 9 A.M. and will continue each weekday morning for three hours through July 11, with the exception of Independence Day.

The school will be directed by the Rev. Lyman R. Hartley Jr. and Mrs. Ralph Slear. and will offer recreation, music, hand­work and religious education to six, seven and eight-year-oldfc of the church and neighborhood. Registration will close Tuesday.

Mr. Backman,. the tipster, did not disclose the name of his in­formant.

Mr. Newman said it is possible that Mr. Backman got the infor­mation from Harvey Birch, a spy for the Colonists.

Mr. Newman said he could find no record of the plot incident in Washington biographies he has checked.

The committee has offices at 270 Broadway in Manhattan. From that center its staff of at­torneys, accountants and investi­gators is busy sifting through a mass of complaints, rumors and information. The committee has adopted a policy of not making its activities public, or of making charges until all the facts are known.

Probe In Patchogne To date it is known that the

committee staff has been inquir­ing into the affairs of Democrat­ic-controlled Patchogue in Suffolk County, and into complaints con­cerning alleged activities of per­sons employed by the Niagara Frontier Authority. More recent­ly they looked into the row in t h e Conservation Department which led to the resignation of Commissioner Louis A. Wehle, a Harriman appointee.

Mr. Horan said that most of the committee work has been carried on thus far by "a sub­committee set up for convenience and efficiency as much of the organization a n d prelimnary work has of necessity been han­dled at the New York City office.

The subcommittee, also headed by Mr. Horan, is made up chiefly of metropolitan area members, including Senator William S. Hults Jr., R., Nassau vice chair­man, and Assemblymen Daniel S. Dickenson. R., Monroe, and Jo­seph R. Corso. Brooklyn Demo­crat who is secretary.

The committee will hold a full-scale meeting in Albany next Fri­day to make plans for its ex­panding activities, Mr. Horan said.

By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED If conditions everywhere were

always Ideal there would be no quarrelsome children, no unhap­py ones and no disgruntled par­ents. But situations are seldom ideal and children are thrust to­gether not because they especi­ally like each other, but rather because they live close together and it is convenient for them to play.

Most children get their initial experiences in play from neigh­bor-children whose variation in ages may make them unsuitable companions. Because of this, par­ents have to compromise with the idea of helping children to learn to get along. They must expect that there will be some quarrels, that older children will occasion­ally victimize the younger ones and take advantage of their smallness to elbow them off swings or tricycles, etc.

It may be years before chil­dren learn to be unselfish and cooperative but the philosophical attitudes they get from their par­ents will help them to take what happens to them in stride and not go around with chips on their shoulders.

8>»u> Dtapntas Parents should not be saying

"You do this and you do that ," during childish play for then they, exert too much pressure on the children and don't give them an opportunity to learn to manage their own affairs.

But they can't leave small chil­dren entirely without supervision J EMred and soma of the time they will1 Paper.

have to seitle disputes and help children to learn ways of getting along so that all of them can be happy.

It is adults who can show chil­dren that all of -them will have equal advantages if they take turns using toys of which mere , are too few. They can give chil­dren numbers and set someone to be umpire and determine when* No. 2 has had his turn up and down the street and it is now time for No. 3 to have his.

May End Play When the playing gets too

rough and someone is being hurt or imposed upon, then the play may have to come to an end for a time. Sending a child home doesn't mean that he can't come back some other time, but mere­ly for the moment no one la hav­ing fun so playing alone is in order.

There it no reason for moth­ers to go to the mat with each other over the quarrels of chil­dren. Each parent must take some responsibility for watching the.group unobtrusively some of the time, and for that time she shall be the boss and determine how things shall be done. This is all in the interest of neigh­borhood amity as well as good times for the children.
