Farmers ''haying" the Sussex
County marsh areas, ditched during
the past year by mosquito control
workers. are reporting substantial
gains in tonnage. attaining in most
instances as much as 40 per cent
increase over previous years. Areas
that in former years produced little
or no hay, due to scalding and stag
nation from standing water, have
this season yielded heavily.
This is exactly contrary to the be-
lief of many farmers, who last fall
refused permission for the ditching
OF their marshes, on the grounds
that the ebb and flow Of salt water
in the bitches would kill the hay.
Others objected to the ditching be-
cause they claimed 1t would interfere
with the passage OF "haying" i'm

the cut hay. Those who now are

WASHINGTON. July 2. For
the third and last time the Darrow
recovery review board reported to-
day that the NRA is squeezing the
"little man. and the consumer
and bolstering huge monopolies.
The boards final report was
made public today. 1t differed from
the earlier findings only in the
specific injustices cited. The con-
clusions were the same as those of
it's first and most effective bomb
shell.
The report completes the pub
lie life of the board named in an
swer to widespread complaints re-
garding the recovery agency. Clar-
ence Darrow, caustic chairman of
the group, already has left Wash
ington.
AS in the past, it was expected
the new report would bring an out
burst of rhetoric from Gen. Hugh
S. johnson, NRA chief.
The board took coGnizance OF
the NRA but maintained that the
situation was substantially un-
changed.
Basic charges made by the board {:
Codes have enabled powerful in
teress to seize control of industries
and to extend a control already
established.
Codes not only permit but foster
monopolies. Small enterprises are
oppressed and often accelerated
toward ruin.

Chief Fined For
Striking Goodman

j. Sterling Oswalt. Ell Centro chief
of police, pleaded guilty to a charge
of simple assault and paid a fine
of $40 before Judge Mayfield this
morning, following filing of COM
plaint by Ben Goodman, who
charged the chief with striking
him during a visit to police head
quarters Saturday.
The chief, admitting the charge,
explained today that he lost con-
troll of himself when Goodman
called on him after the former had
kept a car loaned to him by the
chief for II days when he promised
to have it back in Ell Centre the
day after it was loaned, his as
serted failure to keep his word
causing considerable inconvenience
to Oswalt.
