FAULKNER PASSES
PEACE PIPE TO ST.
M|H|EL-L0ER POST
Long Controversy Arising
From Speedway Bill Ends
in Meeting.

Final pages in history of the con-
troversy between numerous local post
commanders Of the American Legion
and State officers were written at a
meeting Of the ST. Mihiel-Loer post. at
which Perry Faulkner, State COM
mander. was principal speaker,
Wednesday night.
Faulkner, at the time the Moorhead
anti-Speedway bill was before the
Legislature, urged passage Of the bill,
attributing his attitude to action Of
the previous State convention Of the
legion.
The st. Mihiel-Loer Post was one Of
the leaders of opposition to the bill,
and criticised Faulkner severely for
his Endorsement of the measure
Faulkner, in addressing members of
the St. Mihiel-Loer post, together with
commanders and representatives of
several other posts, urged the Legion
to present itself as more unified
body at the next State convention. He
said no resolution should receive final
action until it had been posted con-
spicuously at lest one day prior to
being handed down.
He said the Speedway resolution, as
many others, received it's support at
a time of heated enthusiasm and did
not have a fair share of considera-
ton. He congratulated members of
the legion for their fairness of oppo-
sition to the measure, when the or
ganization seemed divided against it
self, and lauded the lack Of personal
antagonism that characterized the
fight.
J. W. Ebaugh, commander of the St.
Mihiel-Loer post, presided at the meet
ing.

And best of all-or worst-which-

be absolutely no shimmying, or

such as reformers have raved
against the last few years.
There s to be "pep'-lots Of it

pect to all these new dances, but
the slow, Oriental, sentimental stuff
is taboo.
By the way, the Naves del Coro,
which was originated and first in

combination of waltz, pivot and

ficult as its name might imply.

by all orthodox Jewish people
throughout the entire world. This
day is the Jewish New Years and is
day of religious observance. A
two-day period Of serious thought

custom for all who profess ortho-
doxy.
IN Los Angeles there will be
special ceremonies at all the syna-
gogues and at the Trinity Auditor

DIVERS SEEKING
BODIES OF MEN
Confined from page IL

to hold his position until the find
ing of the naval board of inquiry
fixes responsibility for the disaster.
Blame Radio JAM
The general belief of naval eX-
perts is that responsibility for the
crash should not be laid to human
fallibility but rather to unusual
tidal conditions and radio jam.
Men on the naval compass sta
tion at Point, Arguello tell an in
teresting story of the disaster. AL
though they were to have given the
destroyer flotilla its position and
thus have averted the crash, they
were unaware that the tragedy had
occurred a sort distance away, un-
til q breathless rancher arrived at
their tower.
The compass station men say that
due to the method of obtaining
readings and giving bearings the
ships and radio men could calculate
only in a general way where the
destroyer flotilla was located. Both
the wireless representatives and
the commanders aboard the squad
ron believed that the closely formed
group was 20 miles at sea.
Then at the critical moment
when a single wireless flash might
have put the destroyers Alright the
air was so clogged with radio mes
sages regarding the freighter Cuba
which had run ashore nearby that
satisfactory communication was i'm
possible.
Seven minutes before the crash,
the Delphy is supposed to have
learned its correct north and south
position. Ordinarily this might
have been sufficient but that night
mysterious currents were sweeping
eastward from the scene of the Jap
anese earthquake and these are Civ
en- large portion of the rcspon-
sibility for the crash.
