That action was taken in an attempt to put an end to the ar- rival here of Jews in excess of the | quota that had been set for them | by the government. As many of} the Jews that made those trips are now in Cyprus, they will, under quota regulations, gradu- ally be admitted to Palestine. Ellingson Refuses Goldstein Request A vequest from Henry Gold- stein, Brooklyn owner of dilapi- dated buildings at 909-919 Fran- eis street, for further extension of time in which to renovate the property was denied by Manager Q. J. S. Ellingson today. The city manager received a telegram from Goldstein this morning asking for an additional 0 days in which to fix up the property, claiming that illness had prevented him attending to the matter before the December 20 deadline granted by the city. Goldstein said he would com- mence work in January and im- prove the property “to the com- plete satisfaction of the city.” Ellingson pointed out that the telegram is strangely similar to dilatory tactics which Goldstein’s father carried on for a year. The | city manager said he was sending a letter by registered mail to Goldstein today telling him that the time limit expires on Decem- ber 20. Ellingson added that he will appoint a Survey Board to consider razing the -unsightly Goldstein buildings.

Gregory Mauve, president | of the Maue Oil Co., New York, said today that he had abandoned plans to construct a yacht dock in Garrison Bight even if permitted to take e lease by the city after the latter's impending acquisi- tion of the basin. Maue said he would not at- tempt to buck the opposition of City Manager O. J. S. El- lingson. Meanwhile, City Commmi sioner Louis Carbonell, equip- ped with a masterful drawing of the project planned by Maue and which the oil man had drawn up, said he would help back such a project. “I'd put up $5,000 myself.” Carbonell said, “if I could get nine other men to do like- wise. It would require at least $30,000 to construct a first-class dock but it could be done and would be a great thing for the city.” UN Council (By The Agvocinted Press) FLUSHING MEADOWS,,N. Y.,! Nations assembly are packing up today to leave for their homes, with the exception of those that! are members of the UN Security Council. The council will hold a series of meetings at Lake Success, and it was said that the council will consider a protest made by Greece against Romania and Bulgaria, regarding the stirring up of strife in Athens and elsewhere in Greece. That country complains that Romanian and Bulgarian nation- alists, now in Greece, are egging an communists to resist the gov- ernment. It is expected that when. the UN assembly meets again, Under- Secretary of State Dean Acheson will be a member of the United.

An ordinance was also drawn up drastically amending the so- called Sunday ‘blue laws” and putting into effect a new regula- tion prohibiting employers from working store clerks for more than 48 hours per week. The or- dinance will be presented for for- mal approval of the Commission at the regular meeting tomorrow night. ‘The sales tax proposal drew the general approval of all four cam- missioners, Louis Carbonell, John Carbonell, Hunter Harden and: Albert Cooper, and of Mayor W. W. Demeritt. Receipts would be used entirely for paving and sewer construction and later for reduction of property taxes. City Manager O. J. S. Elling- son and City Attorney J. Lance- lot Lester were authorized to correspond with other municipal- ities where sales taxes are levied and to ascertain the advantages and disadvantages of this form of revenue, Necessities of life, including ' bread, groceries and medicines ‘would be excluded from the sales {tax which would probably be levied at two per cent on gross receipts of all retail goods sold, except those to be excluded. A rough™ estimate"of ‘the “annual ‘receipts placed it at at least $100,- 000. The blue law ordinance will call for repeal or the equivalent of the 1913 ordinance restricting movie theatres to operation only after 6 p.m. on Sundays, and then only if they donate 20 per cent of their receipts to charity. The other outstanding “blue law” will be amended to permit base- ball games on Sunday and to al- low filling stations, bait houses, grocery stores, ice cream estab- lishments, saft drink stands and newspaper stands to remain open. Sponsored by Louis Carbonell, the new ordinance will be the same as that offered by the com- missioner at a recent special meeting except that permission to sell jewelry on Sunday has been changed to read “gift and costume jewelry.” Carbonell also inserted a pro- vision that no clerk can be em- ployed for more than eight hours a day, six days a week. It was as- sented that some clerks are work- ing 10 to 12 hours a day during the Christmas season when stores are open from 9 a. m., to 9 p. m. To eliminate this prac- tice, Carbonell said, and to pre- vent similar practices by stores opening on Sundays, the 48-hour restriction will be inserted in the ordinan Opp. Bus Station THE Kenyon Auto Store Has Lyons’ White Walls SCOOTER BIKES BATTERIES FOR YOUR PORTABLE RADIO —— TOYS - GIFTS —— and Christmas Tree Light Sets a cee ell 524 Southard NEW PIONEER HOTEL 151 N.E.
