Senator Had Blocked Naming
of Chairman Balls Secre.
tary Upon This Commission
PRESIDENT IN QUANDARy
Could Make No Appointments
Without Offending One or
Other, So Delayed Action

One of the real reasons why
President Harding has not yet
appointed the new District Rent
Commission has just come to
light.
1t is involved in a long stand
ing and-strange as it may seem
"a more or less friendly fight
over patronage in Delaware be-
tween Senator L. Heisler Ball,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, and Senator T. Cole
man DUPONT.
DUPONT BLOCKS CHOICE.
Little differences sometimes de-
velop into major issues. In this
case the little difference between
the two friendly and amiable Della
ware senators concerned Thomas j..
Peeney who for several years has
been acting as secretary to Senator
Ball.
Senator Ball tried to persuade
President Harding to appoint Mr.
Peeney collector Of the port OF VIII.
mington. but Senator DUPONT inter
vened and succeeded in blocking the
appointment.
This was rather a disappointment
to Senator Ball, but he attributed
II mainly to the exigencies OF state
politics in Delaware, and paid no
later the rent extension act was
passed by Congress. Credit for the
enactment was given to Senator
Ball by both friends and foes or
the law. 1t was his work that en-
listed Presidential support for the
bill and won over the House at the
eleventh hour.
HARDING LET 1T DRIFT.
AS soon as the rent extension
act was passed, Senator Ball went
to the White House and requested
President Harding to appoint Mr..
Peeney as one of the new mem
bers Of the commission. The Presi'
dent was anxious to please him,
but, it Is understood. he remem'
bered certain objections that Sena.
for dupont had previously urged
against Mr.. Peeney. He got n
touch with Senator DUPONT, and
Peeney again came in for a dis.
cussion.
That Is as far as the matter
went. President Harding felt that
he would be stirring up old pa.
tronage troubles by nominating Mr..
Peeney for the Rent Commission.
At the same time he was deter
mined not to make any move that
would offend his old friend, Sena-
tor Ball. So matters simply drifted
from month to month.
In the meantime the White House
had discovered there was no urgent
necessity for appointing a new Rent
Commission; that the old tribunal
was functioning fairly well, and vari-
Gus real estate men urged upon
President Harding the fact that the
rent situation in the District was
rapidly improving, and that the add
ed expense Of an enlarged commits
sion might not be necessary after all.
ELECTIONS CAUSE CHANGE.
A new angle in the situation de-
veloped when Senator dupont was
defeated for reelection In Delaware
by Thomas F. Bayard. That cleared
the patronage air Immediately. Sen
ator Ball will take advantage Of 1t
by again discussing Rent Commits
sion affairs with the President. 1t
Is quite possible that the nominations
will be made now without more ado.
The objections which Senator du-
Pont urged against Peeney have not
been disclosed, but It Is believed
they relate to his lack Of legisla
tive, legal and administrative expe-
rience.

POWERFUL X-RAY
TO FIGHT CANCER
Garfield Hospital lnstaIls New
Machine to Save All OF
Radium as Cure.

An X-ray apparatus. which will
radium and described by doctors as
one Of the greatest aids in their
battle to control cancer. was In.
stalled at Garfield Hospital yester.
day.
The new equipment. which. II Is
said, will come as near to obviating
the need OF radium in curing cancer
as ia possible, Is the most powerful
of its kind in the country. The Sec
ond largest is located in the Phila-
delphia General Hospital
Capable Of delivering 200, 900 volts
Of electricity, the new machine Is a
triumph OF American engineering.
said DR.. r. A. Merritt, hospital
Roentgenologist, yesterday. Not
alone are we able to affect a cure
for cancer but we are able to do so
with complete safety to the patient
being treated. Other machines have
been very dangerous to both at
tendants and patients" he added.
AS demonstrated yesterday. a pa.
tient seeking a cure, lies on a bed
and the ray from the machine Is
directed to the part of the body
affected. The patient may read,
smoke or converse while being
treated, the doctors say.
The addition of the new apparatus
gives Garfield Hospital the largest
X-ray laboratory in the District.
Nine rooms are devoted to the vari'
Gus phases OF the work.

Labor union leaders are to estab-

Each OF us should do In this world
the things We are capable OF doing
best. We thus can derive the fullest
amount of satisfaction from our
work. and at the same time. can put
most into the world.
Organized labor is already running

II labor can run a bank success

surely there ought to be room for a
labor bank In the largest city In
America. with it's 100000 unionists.
It is not unusual for special groups
70 organize a bank to take care of it's
