POOL IS SOUGHT
At ROCKVILLE

Feeling that town the size OF
Rockville should have a public
swimming pool, members Of the
Rockville Rotary Club are survey
ing sites with the idea of backing
such a project.
Sites so far inspected include
locations on Watts Branch, Rock
Creek, Keys Branch, and a pool
with water furnished by two Of
the towns pumps on the old fair
grounds. Of these, the latter 10
cation appears to be the one being
given most favorable considera'
ton.
The old fair grounds are now
the property of the Montgomery
County School Board, and, Of
course, any construction there
would have to have their sane
ton. It is believed, however, that
such sanction would be forth
coming.
Specifications call for a fresh
water pool IS feet by IS with a
diving tower and bath house
Maintenance will probably be
provided by charging a small fee,
although members of the COM
mittee declare it is their intention
to open the pool free Of charge
to the younger people of the
town.

NRA Chief Cheered by Huge
Crowd; Raps Extremists
of Both Sides

Los ANGELES, July 81
INSO.-Gen. Hugh S. johnson,
national recovery administrator,
training his oratorical big guns
on the alien radicals, charged
them with being responsible Tor
the present industrial unrest IN
the United States.
The administrator in a radio
speech which brought cheers from
a huge crowd in the Hollywood
Bowl late yesterday, demanded
that organized labor in the United
states run the Subversive ele-
ment out Of its ranks like rats"
General johnson declared that he
had been told that If all Of the
aliens in the nation were deported
there would be enough jobs for
more than one-third Of the unem'
ployed. He said:
'T don't suggest such move,
but / do suggest that any alien
who pretends to lead an eco
nOmic group Of our people in
the direction Of strife and blood
shed has no place here and
should no more be tolerated
than an armed enemy under .
foreign flag"
TAKES NO CREDIT
No credit for settlement Of the
general strike in San Francisco
did General johnson take. He
averred:
'T have been given credit in
q great many Eastern papers,
for settlement Of the strike. 1t
is sweet SAVIOR in q mans nos
trilS and wish / deserved 1t.
But / can pretend 70 no such
dignity. The coast papers have
reported it otherwise and they
are right.
, "This was a job done as such
a job to be done, by the Cali"
fOrnia Community and by the
responsible leaders Of recognized
labor unions. 1t was done in the
traditional American way by
local self government in both
politics and economies.
"CalifOrnia does not need any
outside authority to keep the
peace Of the coast and our able
and experienced labor leaders
are mot going to be robbed OF
their duly. elected franchise by
any foreign and SubverSive eAe-
ment led by . man who cannot
even pretend to the simple dig.
nifty of American citizenship"
1t Is Minority Rule
The extremitieS to which the
general strike went, the NRA head
declared could not be adequately
described. He pointed out:
"VVhen you have to 60 to
strike committee to get per-
mission to have a bottle OF
milk for the baby you may
know how fully the public
has been cOwed by q little
group with a special interest.
and I care not whether that
group be of large or little i'm
pOrtance or whether they be
rich or poor. 1t is minority
rule. 1t is dictatorship. 1t Is
the end Of democracy. It Is
tyranny and not to be tOl-
Grated for one moment by this
free people,"
General johnson declared that
extremist rule was in effect in
the San Francisco strike and de-
clared:
"The extremists on the labor
side actually had that system
in effect when I arrived ut San
Francisco. But the extremists
ON the other side were just as
bad. The pressure on the gov.
ernOr from q small group Of
wealthy men who from the
moment Of my arrival did every
thing they could to undermine
me and who were asking for
martial law was terrific"

SHIP NEW SPUDS
2 WEEKS EARLY
Heats Former Record; Price
Outlook Good for Big Crop,
Depending on Missouri

A full two weeks earlier than ever
before in the history of this early pro-
ducing section, potatoes were shipped
out of Kennewick on the goth of May
this year. The shipment was made by
/. S. Gleason and the spuds, Irish
Cobblers, were grown by Mr.. Lacour
on the Highlands. The following day
three tons from the Cecil Elder place
were shipped by Mr.. Gleason. Last
year broke all existing records for
early potato shipments, Mr.. Gleason
said tonight, and this year the first
shipments are two weeks earlier than
last.
Prospects for a good price on spuds
are good, Mr.. Gleason reported. He
bases his prediction upon the damage
the drought in the middle states,
which condition saved this section
last year on the spud crop. This year
conditions there, apparently, are
worse, than last and if the Missouri
growers are hurt good outlet will be
available in that section. Should the
Missouri crop, however, prove normal
spud prices for this section will be
disastrous again, for the Northwest
is long on spuds- large acreage and
good crops in all sections.
