An application for the release from custody of an Elmira man accused of participating in a Pennsylvania robbery was denied Monday afternoon by Supreme Court Justice Bertram L. Newman.

The decision came at the comple­tion of testimony in the case of Wal­ter B. Lawson, 31, of 112 Sullivan St., who is accused of taking part In an assault and robbery Jan. 10 at Athens, Pa.

Through Atty. Judson R. Hoover, the defendant sought his release from custody in New York State on the grounds that was not in Pennsyl­vania at the time of the alleged of­fense and did not take part in the crime.

Lawson has refused to waive ex­tradition to Pennsylvania so formal extradition proceedings have been started by New York and Pennsyl­vania authorities.

Lawson and Frank Sisak, 29, formerly of Lormore St., arc ac­cused of bearing and taking $300 from John T. Jones at the tatter's clothing store k Athens.

Sisak testified at the first part of the hearing Saurday that he and Lawson committed the crime. Law-son presented witnesses in an at­tempt to show that he was in the immediate Elmira area at the time he is alleged to have been in Pennsyl­vania. - V : •

The hearing was adjourned Satur­day and completed yesterday after­noon. Justice Newman denied the ap­plication for release o£ Lawson and ordered him returned to the County Jail to await the completion of ex­tradition proceedings, "the district attorney's office represented the state in the case.

Protest Filed On Sealer's 'Second Job'

A Remington Rand employe ap­peared at last night V City Council meeting to complain that City Sealer John F. Madden is "bumping" some­one out of a job by working a full night shift at the plant.

George Rickard of 408 S. Walnut St., who said he spoke for "quite a few others," claimed there was "very much agitation" over Madden's job at the plant.

In view of the recent layoffs of more than 400 employes, Rickard added, the others did not feel that a city employe should be able to work at another fulltime job.

City Manager Robert E. Quin and Corp. Counsel George H. Winner said there was nothing in the law to prohibit Madden's holding another job.

The city sealer was paid $3,615 last year, was budgeted for a $200 raise and then boosted to $4,068 by the council to bring him in line with other inspectors.

Madden works from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily at City Hall, is on call at other times and "works most of the day on Saturday," Quin said.

Rickard said Madden's hours at the Rand are from about 4 p.m. to midnight He said the union had told other employes that it had no control over him.

Mayor Emory Strachen advised Rickard to wait and see what de­velops. 'The situation may adjust it­self," said the Mayor.

The case of Harry M. Force, 58, of 405*4 E. Thurston St., arrested on two charges Monday afternoon after two collisions involving the same two cars, was adjourned until Friday by Recorder Donahoe this morning.

Force denied charges of unsafe use of the highway and dis­orderly conduct.

Police reported* that a car driven north on Lake St. by John Francis Murphy, 27, of 1149 Grand Central Ave., Horseheads, was struck in the rear at Lake and Clinton Sts. by an automobile driven by Force at 5:55 Monday afternoon. Murphy had stopped for the red light. However, this collision caused no damage and Murphy continued north on Lake St

At Lake and Fifth, police said, Murphy stopped for another red light The rear of his car was struck for the second time by the Force car, Murphy reported. In the collision the Murphy car was damaged and his sister, Mrs. Mary E. Stevens of 566 Cypress St., riding with him, suffered shock and possible neck- and leg in­juries.

Murphy arrested Force on the charge of unsafe use of the high­way.

Patrolman Councilman reported that, after Force had been taken to police headquarters, he became abus­ive. Councilman added the disorderly conduct charge against Force.

A driver identified as Oreste J. Liberatore Jr., 23, of 311 Brand St., was arrested Monday night by Patrol­man Loomis on a charge of speeding on Maple Ave. between Horner and Sly Sts. Liberatore denied guilt in Recorder's Court this morning and his case was adjourned until Friday.

Band Concert

The City Council postponed deci­sion last night on a proposal to hire the Elks Band for $1,338 to give six concerts in city parks next Summer.

The offer was made last Dec. 16 by Jerry Thomas, band director. No provision for the concerts ,is in the tentative 1952 budget—expected to be passed week after next.

Thomas renewed the offer last night, but the council decided to defer an answer until the next meet­ing.

The plan involves six concerts at $223 each to be given anywhere the council stipulates. Appropriations for them were cut out of the recrea­tion budget last year in an economy move.

Urges U.S. Supplement Jobless Pay

Ira F. Thurber, president of Local 604 of the LAW -CIO at the Eclipse Plant, has called upon the federal government to supplement what he termed inadequate state unemploy­ment compensation benefits."

In a report to the union, Mr. Thur­ber said the national government has the "major responsibility" for defense unemployment.

His report on a recent union con­ference at Washington said in part:

"Congress has recognized its responsibility for easing the effects of a shift to a defense economy by giving consideration and protection to corporations dealing in defense work through tax carry-back provi­sions, tax amortization for new plants, and aids to small businesses.

"Congress has a similar responsi­bility to ease the effects of unemploy­ment due to a shift to a defense economy.

"On Jan. 13-14, approximately 700 delegates representing the UAW-CIO and local unions from 25 states experiencing defense unemployment met at a conference at Washington. They were in contact with defense mobilization officials and con­gressional representatives with respect to the growing problem of unemploy­ment.

"It is obvious that in months ahead, unless effective -action is taken now to minimize the unemployment and to supplement both the in­adequate levels of state unemploy­ment compensation benefits and to extend the period of duration, thou­sands of workers and their families will suffer untold poverty and priva­tion.

"There can be no economic or moral justification for placing the cost of defense unemployment upon workers directly involved nor on a community in which they live.

"Since defense unemployment re­sults from defense mobilization* poli­cies, the cost of such unemployment should be charged against the defense mobilization effort

"Although Elmira has not had the unemployment problem existent in many localities, there is no assurance that we too won't suffer that hard­ship.

"Unemployment does not affect only management and workers in­volved, but its insidious growth is felt in every segment of the community."
