FORT MYERS. Fla, March g.
Wars are made by a small group-the
| makers OF munitions-hence can and
should be prevented, says Henry Ford.
The noted automobile manufacturer
spoke of arms and religion and educa-
ton in q sort of lenten sermon, an
exclusive interview with the Associated
Press, before he left here for his
| Northern home and his business in
Detroit.
Backs B0rah's Stand.
"The people in general don't want
war" he said. "but it has been forced
on them by scheming munition makers
looking for enormous profits through
sale of arms"
Hence. Ford said. he believed Sena-
tor Borah had the right idea" when
he opposed passage of the half billion
dollar Navy program and other arms
legislation.
Il do not pay much attention to
the talk about war;" he added, 'for
have found out that there is not
much can do about it as an indi-
vidual. Outlawing war depends upon
people. In the past they have fol-
lowed the war makers. If We could get
rid of approximately 100 men re-
sponsible for wars in this world the
people would enjoy peace"
Urges Religion in Schools.
Declaring that this world is
machine always grinding out charac-
ters," Ford expressed satisfaction at a
Nationwide religious revival, q more
serious point Of view in the minds of
the average person"
He said religion should be taught in
the schools as lit is the fourth r. in
education" and "the Bible is the best
text book ever written"
Since, he said. the home does not

the biggest part in education" and

Brooklyn Daily Eagle Reports
Eradication Campaign Dropped
as Too Costly.

BY the Associated Press
BROOKLYN, N. Y. March 8.-The
c. w. A. campaign to rid the city of
rats has been dropped, the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle says, because it was
found to be costing $40 a rat.
The campaign began a month age
when 261 c. W. A workers were
equipped with traps and bait and sent
out on what was called "the ecto-
parasitic rodent survey" Waiting to
record the results of their work was a
battery of timekeepers, typists and
technicians. the Eagle says
The purpose was to supply rats for
experiments being conducted by the
United States Public Health Service
as well as to eliminate the rodents
from tenements. wharves and dumps
Hopes of catching 200 rats a day
went aglinmering when the trappers
returned with only 60 or 70 a day
and with $4,000 appropriated for
the first As days it was decided the
project was too costly.

Fishing is banned, and anglers will

Joe himself was ordered to move
several months ago. The notice was
served by Federal park officials. but
construction Of the Boulevard closed
the outlet to any but small craft, and
Capt. Joe cannot afford to move his
house boat across the highway.
A group of bass fishermen, however,
have bestirred themselves in Capt.
Joe's behalf. In a letter to Dr. NJ
darcy Magee, president of the local
Izaak Walton League, they made a
plea for aid in rolling Capt. Joe's
ponderous house boat across the new
boulevard and into the Potomac. so
he can seek new fishing waters with
the coming of Spring.
Through Perry Miller, who conducts
the Rod and Stream column in The
Star, an offer was obtained from Park
officials to supply a Citizens Conser-
vation Corps crew to transport Capt.
Joe's boats to the river. and harbor
police promised to tow the whole out
fit out of the District.
The District has restrictions against

Meeting OF Representative
Leaders Condemns Activities
OF Radicals In Strike.

Formation of a battalion of mill
tia in Imperial Valley, with COM
panies at Ell Centro. Brawley and
CaleXico, will be advocated as a
result of a meeting held here last
night by upwards of 80 city and
county officials, leading business
men and representative of agricul-
tural associations, it was reported
today.
The meeting was inspired by the
strike among lettuce workers and
the unanimous opinion of those at
tending was that radical agitatorS
alone were responsible for the
strike.
Not one of those leading the
strikers ever worked a single day
in the fields" a spokesman for the
meeting stated today. They are
members of radical organizations
interested only in stirring up trou-
BILE and in furthering their own
ends. 1t is unfortunate that they
are aided in this work by organi-
cations having a thin cloak OF re-
spectability, but in reality equally
as injurious to American industry
as tie radical leaders"
The meeting passed a resolution
to disseminate correct information
on the labor situation in Imperial
Valley and to offset charges made
by radical leaders that the rights
of laborers have been infringed by
sworn officers of the law.

activities throughout the strike
have only been too apparent, The

AUDITING Of
C|TY'S BOOKS
MEETS DELAY

Bids for auditing the city books
for the fiscal year 1933-34 were op-
ened at a meeting of the city coun-
Gil last night and after some con-
sideration by the council were re-
ferred to Fred Gianola, city finance
commissioner, for further checkup
with report to be made to the
council as soon as this checkup is
finished. The bids, seven in number,
ranged from 5000 to $500 in cost.
The council accepted a renewal
policy covering city automobiles sub
ject to the approval of the city at
torney. The present policy will eX-
pire on January 81. Notice was re-
ceived by the board that the per-
nit granted by the state board of
public health for the disposal of
city sewage was now effective.
A discussion was held by the
board relative to the destruction of
certain city records which have
been accumulating in the city vaults
for years past. Many of these are
outlaWed by age, otherSa rein dup
licate with permanent records on
hand of the more important items
and need for more space in the
vault led to the proposal that those
which are duplicated or no longer
vitally necessary for the city records
might be destroyed. The matter was
finally left to Charles Bratton, city
clerk and Dorsey WhitelaW, city at
torney, to decide which of these re-
cords might safely be destroyed
without impairing the efficiency or
completeness of the city records.
l.. r. jefferson was appointed by
the board to take the placeo f j. S.
Cameron on the city planning and
zoning commission. Cameron had
resigned from the board following
his removal to BraWley.
Two projects were approved by
the council for submission to the
county CWA board. These were:
plumbing, repairs. painting and re-
placement of the old water system
at the city library at a cost of $943-
90 and painting of the fire depart
ment building and installation OF
washing racks to cost $602.6l. The
council further discussed the posi-
bility of submitting other projects
when or if it is determined that the
present CWA policy is to be con-
tinued or extended. These projects
were relative to a proposed fire sta
ton for the east sidean the out
fall sewer system.
