Sunset Pass Thrills
for people"

Rip-roaring, knock-'em-down-and-
drag-'em-out action characterizes
the latest Zane Grey saga of the old
West that opens tomorrow at the
Paramount theater, Sunset Pass"
It's Paramount's 18th production by
Americas most prolific author OF the
great outdoors, featuring an all-star
cast including Randolph Scott, Tom
Keene, Kathleen Burke, Noah Berry,
Harry Carey and Kent Taylor.
Sunset Pass" is done in the real,
old-fashioned, honest-to-goo d n S S
Western manner, and will strongly
appeal to those fans who go for these
hard-riding, straig h t-sh oting,
rough-and- tumble dramas of the ma
tional frontier.
Cattle rustlers dominate the story,
and the outlaw band headed by Ran
dolph Scott, Harry Carey and Kent
Taylor Is the scourge of the cattle
men Of the plains
If you like Westerns and action,
here's one with just enough talk to
carry the story along and more than
enough action to satisfy the most
action-thirsty patron Of these color
ful melodramas OF the great outdoors.

Presidents Power of
Removal From Office
To the Editor OF The Star

40 tfe LoItOr OF Inc star.
The press reports that Commissioner
Humphrey Of the Federal Trade Com
mission may resort to the courts to test
the validity of the order of the Presi-
0ent summary removing him from
Office.
This communication Is ir no way con-
cerneo with the mTitS of the removal
or with the contrtversy between the
President and Mr. Humphrey. but only
with the legal aspects of the removal.
1t is not believed that Mr.. Humphrey
will get very far by b court proceeding
IN view of the decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of Myers VS.. U. S.,
272 U. S.. So.
The first section Of the act creating
the commission after providing for the
appointment OF five commissioners by
the President. by and with the advice
ano consent of the Senate, and fixing
their tenure. provides specifically thar
any commissioner may be removed BIZ
the President for inefficiency. neglect of
duty. or malfeasance in Office" 1t would
appear from this language that the
president cannot remove commission
er except for the causes mentioned and
after hearing, but the court held in the
Myers case that Congress cannot thus
iuNlt tne power OF the President to re-
move executive officers appointed by
him and confirmed by the Senate Tor
whatever cause he chooses to assign.
The majority opinion in this case was
written by Chief Justice Taft and dis
cusses the questions involved from every
historical and legal angle. Without
going into the qualifications and excep-
tions discussed in the opinion, the court
held. among other things. in SO far as
applicable TO the case of Mr.. Humphrey,
as follows:
The executive power vested by the
Constitution in the President of the
United States extends 10 the removal.
without the consent of the Senate. of
eXecutory officers appointed by him with
such consent.
The power OF appointment to Office
carries with 1t the power of removal
The court likewise he'll that the law
OF 1876. which limited the power of the
President to remove postnnsters. as well
as the tenure of office act of 1867.
which denied the unrestricted power of
the President to remove, we're in viola
tion OF the Constitution and invalid as
an unconstitutional interference with
the powers of the President

Sabotage a Factor
In Recovery

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your issue of october contains an
article from Prof. Neil Carothers Of
Lehigh University, entitled What Hours
for Labor?"
It happens that this is the best ex-
position of our economic problems that
has come under my observation.
He shows the fallacy of the post
hoe" deduction. making clear that short
hours Go not bring prosperity; but, on
the contrary, prosperity brings short
hours.
Prof. Carothers iterates. and reiterates,
but not too often, that there is not now,
and that there has never been, any
surplus. except Of unemployment.
Some years ago gentleman sx-
claimed: What can We do with our
enormous surpluses Of cotton and
wheat?" Ny reply was: Clothe the
naked. and feed the hungry, and there
will be no surplus of either cotton or
wheat.
During the Crimean War British SOL
diers were starving in sight Of British
ships laden with grain. Mutatts mutan-
dis, the same condition has existed for
some years in these United States.
The professor makes clear my con-
tention stated in former letter: name
ly, that an essential for permanent re-
covery is to find jobs for the people.
If each and every one were given bene-
fetal employment. there would be super
abundance for all, provided-and this
is an essential proviso-that at the
same time we had proper distribution.
Even with universal employment we
will still have want, practical slavery.
If greedy grabsters hog criminal salaries
of from 100000 to 100000 a year, and
million-dollar ($1O00,0O0) bonuses
It is usually conceded that our souls
are immortal; and some claim that after
death our spirits are still interested in
earthly affairs.
If both these propositions are true,
would like to know Franklin's reaction
when he behOlds the cruel paradox now
visible in our country. that plenty brings
want. and that sabotage is deemed to
be material factor in rehabilitation.

color program as to shirts, other things
of even more value are discarded. Mans
thinking apparatus, or what there Is
of it, is located above the shirt. The
color of . shirt, once it assumes the
Importance of an emblem. Is marvel
ously akin to triumph Of matter over
mind.
A few days ago the news dispatches
reported the formation Of an organiza-
ton Of "S;ilver Shirts" which has the
alliterative aspirations of Loyalty, Lib
Grafton and Love" This has been fol-
lowed by the abortive attempt Of few
Khaki Shirts" TO march on Washing
ton, after the police Of Philadelphia
unkindly relieved some Of their erst-
while comrades of pistols and other
lethal weapons with which they had
equipped themselves for nobody knows
what purpose. Certainly the Khaki
Shirts could not have thought that
people in Washington in order to fulfill
| their announced purpose Of elevating
Mr.. Roosevelt to the titular eminence OF
dictator" The generous view to take
is that they were only preparing for q
sort of mild Fourth of July fireworks
celebration, to center public attention
on the accomplishment of feat which
might otherwise escape attention.
But one is somehow forced to the
conclusion that the Khaki Shirts" were
! not at all sure about anything In par
ticular, which was why they donnec
khaki shirts Their leaders, however
were probably sure Of the fact, as the
Secret Service observers hint. that II
somebody has lot of khaki shirts tc
sell, all he has to do to sell them IS to
start movement. This being America
! the movement will not last much longer
than the supply Of shirts.

How the Spuds and the.
Cabbages Feel About 1t
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
An old man Of my acquaintance told
me a weird story the other day. 1t
seems that he had been employed for q
week as a night watchman for large
chain grocery store. He says that the
following experience might have been
caused by something he ate which
brought on a nightmare, but he doesn't
believe it, What he does believe Is that
on his last nocturnal vigil at the store
he was mysteriously given the strange
power to understand fruit and vegetable
language.
He declares that at midnight potato
rolled out of the bin and locked up with
an impish twinkle in one of its eyes.
My old man from up country was in
here today, remarked The spud. He
recognized me by this cut on my side
He looked at me and groWled, You

brothers and sisters lying in a state of

him that we do our part when We get

Mr.. UfOrd's Retirement.

Together with q natural regret at
leaving the center of activities to which
he unselfishly devoted his thought and
remarkable energy for SO many years,
Walter S. UffOrd must feel happy in
the sense Of his own rare achievements,
OF which there Is such tangible and
general recognition. In this he is to be
congratulated, for 1t is a form of sat
isfaction denied to most men, and for
him the community wishes many good
years for enjoyment Of the rest and
leisure which q busy life. spent In the
interest OF others, has forbidden.
But for the community his retire
ment from the active directorship Of one
OF It's most important forms of social
work leaves vacancy not readily filled
1t is vacancy beyond that existing In
the Associated Charities. and extending

and a pathfinder. In the words Of DR.

Mr. Ufford is the greatest benefactor
Of social work in Washington" Those
who know Mr.. Ufford. what he has
stood for in this city and what his
leadership has accomplished, realize how
! we'll deserved is the tribute and how apt
Is its expression.
In his letter of resignation, to become
effective on the twenty-fifth anniversary
of his service with the Associated Chari-
ties next March, Mr.. Ufford speaks of
the inspiration and leadership that
comes from a degree Of youth that my
more than three-score years and ten
can no longer assure" But inspiration
and leadership do not spring from the
attribute OF energetic youth alone. This
Christian gentleman's life and deeds re-
main an inspiration, the degree Of which
| cannot properly be evaluated. Nor will
his retirement from active work lose to
the community the benefits of that wise
counsel which for a long time to come
one hopes, will be available t. those
Who carry ON where he leaves of.
