WASHINGTON, July 6. up
The Darrow recovery review board,
already virtually disbanded, re-
ceived its formal notice of dismis-
sal from President Roosevelt today.
The board IS life actually ended
six days ago, the White House re-
vealed, but in the furry of the
President IS departure the execu-
tive order was overlooked.
The action brought to con-
clusion one of the stormiest chap
ters not only in the life of the
NRA but also in that of Clarence
Darrow, the aged but fighting
chairman of the board of criticism.
The President IS order said that
he was disbanding the agency be-
cause its work had been substan-
TALLY completed. Due to the res
ignation of three of the six board
members, said the President, any
further Investigations and reports
would not be representative of the
board as originally constituted or
serve to effectuate the purpose for
which it was created.'
The order was dated June 80 and
was effective July l.
The order was not considered sur
prising although the remaining
members of the board had been
prepared to continue for short
time to complete some details of
this investigation.

Tt is SO peaceful and quiet in the

"Well, you know best" buzzed
the Squiggler, as he zoomed away
to find his friend.
Uncle Wiggily put in his pocket
the paper cap, red on one side,
white on the other and with some
bang-bang powder between the two.
He knew that if he put the cap
on one stone and dropped another
stone on it there would be a
fine loud noise.
"But I don't want noise, - said
Mr. Longears. II came to the

up softly behind the Bad Chaps,
Uncle Wiggily put the paper cap
on flat stone. Then, going back
a little way, he picked up another
stone and threw it at the red pa
per cap. "Bang!' it exploded with
loud noise.
"Oh. the hunters are after us! "

JOHN PUBLIC PAYS

Pitched battles in the streets of San
Francisco, resulting from the longshore-
mems strike, have caused the governor
to send national guard troops there to
restore order.
Yesterdays news of the fighting be-
tween police and strikers did not make
nice reading. Bullets tear gas and night
sticks were used by the officers with
missiles of all sorts and few guns furn-
lshing the ammunition of the strikers.
At least two men were killed and scores
were more or less seriously wounded
1t is certainly regrettable that the
trouble has been permitted to reach such
an extreme length. All efforts at arbi-
trating the difficulty between the long
shoremen and the ship owners have
failed. Neither side has been willing to
give in sufficiently to bring about peace
The longshoremen, claiming their pos
ition is entirely right, are partly wrong.
The ship owners, claiming their position
is entirely right, are also partly wrong
Neither side has given any too much
consideration to third party, the gen.
eral public. This third party is pre-
ponderantly right but it must suffer
wrongs.
Innocent members of the third party
merchants, shopkeepers, manufactur-
ers and businessmen of all types-have
been injured because of the strike. Now
all of the people of California are be-
ing wronged for they must bear the ex-
pense of the militia being sent to San
Francisco and maintained there
The rights and wrongs of the long
shoremen and shipowners, which have
inspired sympathy for both, are mini
mized by the wrong being done to the
general public. The general public soon
is going to stop thinking of the two bel
ligerent parties and think of its own
rights and the debt it is paying for the
troubles of the other two parties The
force of public opinion is the greatest
asset now available for ending the strike.
1t should have asserted itself before it
became necessary to call out the troops.

CONGRATULATIONS (AGAIN)

We almost hesitate to write it for we
wrote it once before and it slapped back
into our face, hit couple of stone walls
and landed in a graveyard.
BY 1T" we refer to congratulations
for Imperial Valleys newest city-West-
morland, which on June 80 became an
incorporated city of the sixth class.
Some time ago Westmorland and all
its friends thought it was city. The
people had voted to incorporate, con-
gratulations were extended, then bang
disgruntled ones had the courts throw
out the election and after having had
the honor of posing as a city for several
months, Westmorland found itself back
in the unincorporated area.
Not the least bit discouraged the "city-
wanters" decided to try again and this
time they put it over and hope to make
it stick So do all their well-wishers
who admire the ambition of the citizens
in the valleys gate city.
Westmorland is now a city with
council, city clerk, chief of police and all
the agencies which are supposed to make
life worth while but which frequently
don't figure out just that way.
We have looked through the list of Of
ficials of the new city and can't find
the name of Tom Hancock anywhere.
Not that we expected to find it for a
good newspaperman stays on the side
lines. 1t is safer, much more efficient
and lot more fun.
The new city officials are all taxpay-
ers in Westmorland. That ought to in
sure a splendid administration. Citi-
zens who know they will have to pay the
bills are going to move cautiously before
running their city into unnecessary eX-
pense.
Again We extend congratulations to
Westmorland and hope it will grow fat
and prosper and enjoy life as one of the
municipalities of California.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S PAPER CAP

There were busy times in Uncle
Wiggily's hollow stump bungalow
now that Fourth of July had come
and gone. The rabbit family was
going away from woodland near
the Orange Ice Mountains to stay
for the summer at the seaShore.
Mrs. Longears and Nurse Jane
Fuzzy WuzZy were busy getting the
bungalow clean and packing up the
clothes for the forty 'leven sixteen
rabbit boys and girls. Uncle Wig
gily could pack for himself and SO
could his wife and the muskrat
lady housekeeper.
But it was different with the lit
tie Dummies. They were so excit-
ed, hopping in and out, telling one
another what they would do when
they reached the seaShore and
playing tag and the jump over
your shadow game, that there was
almost as much noise and confus-
ion in the bungalow as at Fourth
of July.
! II think III hop off by myself
for a little while,' said Uncle
Wiggily. ~ can't do anything to

last May on grounds Of desertion.
After the divorce was granted, Ever
ett wrote her four letters, stating he
wanted to live with her again and
offering to provide her home. She
refused. He then asked the court to
compel her to return to him and to
discontinue alimony payments of $40
a month unless she could show good
cause for refusing to live with him.
Mrs. Everett, through Attorney Jean

she had the limited divorce, she did
not have to live with Everett, and
Chief Justice Wheat sustained this
contention. 1t was believed this is

GROUP OPPOSES
VIGILANCE PLAN
Benning Citizens Associa-

School Foot Ball.

The Benning Citizens Association,
which met last night at the Odd Eel
lows Hall, Minnesota avenue and Ben
ming road, went on record as strongly
opposing the Citizens Vigilance Com
mittee proposed by the Federation of
Citizens Associations.
1.-THE Benning territory is well
enough protected so as not to need
such a committee" President Frank
James said.
The action was taken after a dis
eussion in which the name 'snooper"
was applied to the vigilance system.
The association favored Commis-
sioner Hazen's claim that police pre-
cincts throughout the city are suff1-
cient to provide protection to the
citizens of the District.
The Association stated that the
Washington newspapers are to be COM
mended for their cooperation and
efforts to stamp out crime in the Dis
trict.
Oppose Grid Ban.
An overwhelming majority of the
members voted their diSapproval OF
the action taken by the Board of Edu-
cation concerning the ban on inter-
high school foot ball games. They
said that only the individual offenders
in the original disturbance should be
punished, and not the whole school
system.
A letter was ordered sent to Melvin
Sharp Of the Capital Transit Co. re-
ouesting a waiting station at the
south end of Viaduct Bridge and Ben
ming road. 1t is said that on old one
had been removed and has not been
replaced.
A letter is to be sent to Traffic Di-
rector Van Duzer urging that white
traffic lines be painted on curves at
the 3. a. o. underpass, from Kenil-
worth avenue to Viaduct Bridge, and
at Viaduct Bridge and Minnesota
avenue.
The resurfacing of Kenilworth ave-
nue. was again stressed.
A committee, with A. A. Strauss as
chairman, was appointed to confer with
the District Engineer Commissioner for
action on Benning road Viaduct
Bridge, which members fear will be-
come a bottle neck when the Ben
ming road widening project is finished.
1t is suggested that the bridge be re-
placed by an underground passage.
