LEGION
Entire Slate Picked
Without Opposition
at Annual Farley

With no opposition, James j.
Malloy, local attorney, and his
slate of officers were named to
head the District Department Of
the American Legion at the annual
convention at the Mayflower Hotel
last night.
While the election will not be
held until tonight, when Mr.. NAL
10y will succeed James O'Connor
Roberts as department com
mander, it will be a mere formality
since no other nominations were
made.
The other officers who were also
nominated without opposition are
Byron G. Carson, first vice com.
mander; Miss Elsie Pinney, second
vice commander, and Charles War;
rem, of The Washington Times,
third vice commander.
Rap Communists
Following the nomination a
number of resolutions were pre-
sented, some of them arousing
bitter disapproval. Four resolu.
tions, seeking the elimination OF
communism, were unanimously
adopted.
These called for the finger
printing of all aliens; for curb
ing the spread of Communist
propaganda; for elimination OF
Communist camps for children,
and for requiring all Government
employees to take an unqualified
oath of allegiance to defend the
Constitution against all enemies,
foreign and domestic"
The delegates also recommended
that no gifts or financial aid be
extended colleges and other in
stitutions permitting "Subversive
agencies" to exist in their midst.
Bonus Asked
Heated debate was held over q
resolution indorsing a Federal
anti-lynching bill. The resolution
was adopted despite the objection
of Past Commander Harlan Wood
that it would constitute an lin
trusion of States rights"
A resolution banning "claw" ma
chimes and other gambling devices
was tabled after one delegate
asked sarcastically if this was the
Legion or a w. c. T. U. conven
ton.
Another resolution adopted aftel
considerable debate called for
Constitutional amendment ban
ming child labor. Immediate pay
ment of the bonus was agar
asked.

When the Democratic and Re.

meet next December, financial
skies will be cloudleSs for both

made to The Times today by
spokesrnen for both groups when
questioned about the current and
prospective generosity Of their

At Democratic national commit

alissimo Charles Michaelson said:
According to w. Forbes Nor.

the $529,282 deficit on the

Whatever concern this may
have caused Republican National

Refreshed by the ministrations Of
the Grass Rooters at Chicago,
Counsel Hamilton beamed:
"A $1,000 deficit for the last

PLAN

CONTROL
President Will Sian
Measure Now At
White House

That lily-white effect Washing
ton architects ahve been striving
for since Washington emerged
from the country village is going
to stay white, if District officials
have their way.
Plans for rigid enforcement of
the new smoke law, now at the
White House for signature, and
certain of Presidential approval,
were going ahead today even in
advance of actual signing.
Need For Funds
Inspections, new regulations, re-
strictions on the coal to be used,
the enforced use of smoke con-
sumers and other methods of keep
ing the National Capital physi.
cally clean were being studied by
officials who will have charge Of
enforcement.
The smoke will go up the chimney
just the same - but it won't
settle" just the same on the
marble fronts and the white roof
of the new Supreme Court build
ing.
District officials said they would
seek the inclusion of a $4,000
item in a deficiency bill to cover
the costs Of administration. The
law cannot be enforced unless the
additional money is obtained.
Engineering Commissioner Dan I.
Sultan declared.
Calls for Fines
Similar to the smoke law in
New York city, the measure calls
for fines up to $500 for each Of
fense. The existing regulation
permits fines ranging from $40 to
$100. 1t gives officials much
greater degree of control than the
present law.
1t is planned by Commissioner
Sultan to transfer administration
of smoke control from the District
Health Office to the office of
Capt. Hugh P. Dram, director Of
inspection. There are tow inspec-
tors detailed to smoke control
work by the health office. This
number will be substantially in
creased under the new measure.
The new bill also calls for the
appointment of an expert COM
bustion engineer and a trained
technical staff.

Washington's new divorce law
has certainly made things much

want to call it a day. Why,
now it's almost as easy to get
a decree as it is to buy a re-

So many people are rushing
to take advantage of it, that 1t
looks like Washington is not
only the Capital of the Union

One local playbOy immedi.

B BRAWLEY
GAM TO
END RACE

The team that found itself at
the bottom of the ladder of stand
ings last year now looms as a
champion of Imperial Valley!
Under the careful guidance of
Coach Ed Covington, the Bull
ore short season from the ashes
of a poorly organized, fourth
rated team to the spotlight they
now hold in valley competition.
A victory over the Wildcats at
the northend Thursday afternoon
will make CaleXico sole claimant
to the title it lost four years ago
to Brawley. But just as eager to
win as the Border boys are the
gridsters of Brawley. They could
wish for nothing more than to re-
gain the title they had to forfeit
last year.
Brawley has emerged from the
entire preseason and conference
schedule without a defeat, but
the to tie suffered in Ell
Centre two weeks ago will be the
margin of failure if CalexicO wins.
The leg injuries which kept Min
ter and Sasaki out of Brawley'S
last game have not completely
healed and are giving Coach Sap
po Clark and the team food for
thought. Merritt, and Van Liere,
both linemen, and Fowler, back
fieldman, of the Wildcat team
were placed upon the sick and in
jured list and are being kept out
of practice.
There is an entirely different
outlook in the Calexico camp. The
entire team emerged from the FL
Centro game intact and its Friday
night victory has given the crew
new confidence.
While the teams prepared for
the game of the season, Brawley
high school leaders began arrange
ments for a crowd that only a holi-
day championship game could bring.
Bleachers holding an additional
6G0 to 700 spectators have al
ready been erected and movable
bleachers from other valley towns
will be set up for the contest.
