"IIVENLE HOWE
County Told by Owner to - Take Some Action Or Move Out. -
The owner: of the building used by the county as a juvenile detention home at 538 W. New York st. ‘has demanded that county commissioners act immediately either to buy i, negotiate a new lease or move out.
The building was condemned |:
more than a year ago as a fire and health menace and recently the grand jury warned commissioners
that they might tace charges of criminal neglect in the event of an accident at the home. The detention home has been an unsolved problem for more than three years. Unable to Get Building
Commissioners during two administrations have sought a new building for the home but negotiations for half a dozen other buildings fell thigh before any action was ta-
: pod X. Smith, attorney for the Peoples Mutual Savings & Loan association, owner of the building, asked commissioners in an_ open letter today to do something about the situation. He said the last formal lease the county had on the building expired Dec. 1, 1939, and that since that time the county has been using it without a lease. Mr. Smith said the owner is not obligated under the present lease - arrangement to repair the building but that $1400 has been spent for repairs since the lease expired,

That’s where Mr. Flynn is said to have built a Belgian courtyard— it is only a simple parking place, he insists—with city-owned . paving
blocks. Virtually the full cast of charac-
committee weighs confirmation of the Bronx boss as minister to Australia. Subpenas Later?
Mayor La Guardia of New York heads the witness list. Also being asked to testify are Samuel J. Foley, Bronx county district attorney; William Herlands, New York commissioner of investigation; Paul Kern. former New York civil service com-
of the grand jury which investigat-
Robert Moran, former Bronx commissioner of public works. These witnesses, said Senator Connally (D. Tex), committee chairman, are being “invited” to testify. If they hold out, the committee will talk about subpenas later. About the only thing that seems
"|certain after the first day’s testi-
mony is that if Mr. Flynn becomes minister to Australia he'll have made it the hard way. Not in the memory of senators has a diplomatic appointee been subjected to such scrutiny. Mr. Flynn, an unsmiling witness in his own behalf, and Monroe Goldwater, his law partner, undertook with varying success to meet the numerous charges, but the close ot testimony ‘found some
senators far from satisfied.
Paid for His Judgment
There was, for example, the question of what Mr. Flynn does to earn his $0. per cent take from the law firm’s profits. Mr. Goldwater admitted under questioning by Senator Vandenberg (R. Mich.) —who carried the ball most of the day as far as effective questioning was nhoncerned—that Mr. Flynn handled virtually no legal work. “What does he contribute,” the senator asked, “which justifies paying him 50 per cent?” It was his judgment, Mr. Goldwater replied—his advice and counsel. If the senator was intimating that Mr. Flynn's political influence was worth anything to the firm, he could go into the firm’s books. Mr. Goldwater said there had been approaches to Mr. Flynn and to him for contacts with government agencies, but that with one exception, an apparently minor {federal housing ‘administration case,

bizarre stage when Sydney s. Baron, secretary of the Citizens
Committee to reopen the Flynn case, got into a row with Chairman Connally. " “The grand-jury investigation of the paving-block scandal by Mr. Foley,” he said, “was much the same as this hearing. Mr. Foley appeared .more as a defense attorney than a prosecutor. Mr. Connally does likewise.” He said Senator Connally was interrupting him, and making impossible a cohesive presentation of testimony. Senator Connally branded Mr. Baron’s remarks “gratuitous and insulting.” He said he wished to be courteous but objected that Mr. Baron was testifying to matters of which he had no personal knowledge. a Mr. Baron said Mr. Flynn should be charged with perjury. He ridiquled earlier attempts to explain the paving-block case and Mr. Flynn’s appointment, when he was Bronx sheriff, of the notorious Dutch Schultz as a deputy. Flynn admitted appointing Schultz as an honorary deputy sheriff - of Bronx county but said he didn’t recognize the name as that of the notorious gangster. He denied he had bribed a grand jury foreman with the promise of a federal job; invested New York city funds in an enterprise in which he was interested; used his . political connections to get business for his law firm, or represented. even indirectly Japanese business interests.
