Arlington Memorial Bridge
Now Open

Recently opened to everyday travel,
the Arlington Memorial Bridge and
the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway
afford Bicentennial visitors an oppor-
tunity to see one of the most modern
bridges in the world. The entire
project, including the decorative fea-
lures of the approaches and the con-
struction of Constitution Avenue from
the Capitol to the Potomac River, is
to be completed within the next three
years. It is especially fitting that this
finest and most expensive memorial
built by the Government should not
be to any one individual or group Of
individuals, but should be memorial
to all those who have given their lives
to the development of our country.

OMAHA TO END BLOCKADE.
Mayor Orders Farm Pickets Driven
Back Miles.

OMAHA, August 80 (P).-Mayor r.
L. Metcalfe of Omaha, today ordered
city officials. to break up the blockade
established just outside the city limits
by farm holiday strikers last night. The
mayor invoke da section of the city char
ter that gives Omaha Jurisdiction for
three miles beyond its limits. A block
ade against milk and fresh farm prod
uce, the mayor ruled, was a health
matter
Sheriff Mcdonald swore in 20 special
deputies to aid in pushing the strikers
beyond the 3-mile limit The sheriff
however, said he was convinced the
task was hopeless and stated he be-
lieved only the National Guard would
be effective
Farm Holiday Association pickets were
firmly entrenched on two roads leading
into the city from the West.
More than a score OF trucks were
stopped by the farmers, who permitted
only perishable produce to enter the
city. Stock milk, eggs and poultry
trucks were turned back, although
some truckers later entered the city by
other routes.
The picket lines on roads to the
north and south were strengthened
as well as those in Iowa, just east of
Council Bluffs
BY dawn tomorrow the farmers hoped
to have every highway from the west
guarded. They depended on meeting
of Douglas and Washington Counties
farmers at Elkhorn tonight to supply
the needed reinforcements.
The milk price dispute between the
Omaha dairies and the Nebraska Iowa
Cooperative Milk Producers Associa-
ton drew nearer to a settlement last
night, when one of the large diaries
signed contract with the producers.
The dairy agreed to pay $18O base
price.
Yesterday two other large dairies an
nounced they would pay that price, an
increase of approximately 40 cents. The
retail price will be raised from to 8
cents. The dairies were expected to
sign sales contracts with the cooper
ative association today
The cooperative association, to full
fill its side of the contract will at
tempt Immediately 20 persuade the
pickets to permit milk being hauled
to the one dairy which has already
signed the new contract, TO enter the
city. If the other dairies sign, the
association will seek free passage for
milk consigned to them.

POLICEMEN ACCUSED
IN PRISONERS DEATH
Detroit Detective and Patrolman
Charged With Manslaughter
When Suspect Expires.
By The Associated Press.

DETROIT, August 30.-Backed by
the verdict of coroner's jury that
included a Protestant minister and q
rabbi, Prosecutor Harry S. Toy asked
today for warrants charging two po-
licemen with manslaughter for the
death Of prisoner who was wounded
while in their custody.
The charges, Prosecutor Toy said,
will be preferred against Detective Vim
cent Hoesel, who, police said. fired the
shot that struck David Youssenon,
alias Cantor, confessed burglar, and
Patrolman Cash Ryan, who was with
him when the shot was fired.
Police said Yousenoff snatched at the
pistol holster of Ryan and attempted
to escape as they were taking him to
the scene of recent burglary in an
effort to elicit confession.
Other testimony, including a dying
statement from Yousenoff, was to the
effect that the prisoner was beaten both
before and after he was shot and that
one blow caused brain conclusion.
The jurys verdict, returned late last
night, was that Yousenof came to his
death from wounds inflicted by. an
officer of the law who in exercise Of his
legal duty resorted to unnecessary Uo-
lence"
Hoesel was detained at police head
quarters, deprived of his gun, but per-
mitted to retain his badge. Ryan was
not detained.

the league is to help end the depres-

Government money spending. It Is
simply that the $l4 900 900 of expendi-

of the 120,000s000 people of this coun-

ernments take one dollar out of every
four that the citizen earns. The coun-

war to bring the country back to sanity
in governmental money spending and
it VIII not be stopped by selfish inter-

Of the league.
The league also will benefit the real
