Terse-spoken Woodward remarked,

Boys of Randolph Street" as the horse
players who frequent the towns gay
alley are called, heard that today was
Derby day, but they couldn't DO a
thing about it.
There was moaning and wailing,
and "the boys" prowled the Rialto
with long faces. The lid on gambling
stayed tightly clamped. The situa-
ton was gigantic, colossal. stupen-
dous.
I'm fact, it is even disgusting" said
one of the streets figures. Here we
thought that the police would soften
up just little bit, anyway. for Derby
day.
But what do they do? A few
bookies tried to display the proper
Derby spirit and open up and what
happens? Just a few hours before
Derby post time here comes the cop

i. S. Aviation Is Prev
of Politicians
By James T. Williams, Jr.

Unless the Aeronautic Branch
Of the Department of Commerce
is forthwith purged by the re-
moval Of the political appointees
who have disrupted its organ
1zation, sapped its morale, and
drast1cally reduced its useful
ness, the agency should be
abolished.
When Congress enacted the
Air Commerce Act of 1926, ID
charged the Secretary of Com.
merce with the duty of regulat.
ing and Of developing CONNER
cial and other civil aviation.
1t gave at that time an Assist
ant Secretary of Commerce to
aid him in the discharge of his
duties under this legislation.
There was then organized in
the Department Of Commerce
its Aeronautics Branch. It was
divided into two main divisions
the Regulations Division and
the Airway Division. Later
came a third division under the
Lighthouse Service, the chief
Of which was made responsible
directly to the Assistant Secre-
tary.
REORGANIZATION
For the better operation and
maintenance of all the aids to
air navigation for which the
Federal Government is respon.
Sible under existing laws, dis
trict offices were established in
the different regions of the
country. There were also air.
ways offices at Fort Worth and
at Salt Lake City.
The balance of the work under
these offices was carried out by
q trained and competent air.
ways force. It's personnel was
widely distributed for this pur-
pose through the various Light
house District offices at Staten
Island, Charleston, Buffalo, Mil
waukee, Portland (Oregon) and
San Francisco.
Then came the first So-called
"Roper organization" of the
aeronautics branch. With this
reorganization the political rack
eteering in this Federal agency
began and it is still going on.
Under cover of widely pub
licized plan to increase effici-
ency, decrease costs and expand
service, the removal of the
technical experts in this branch
started and is almost completed.
There are only a few left Of
the original force which was as
sembled in complete disregard Of
political affiliations and with an
eye single to the organization of
an agency technically qualified
to assist the Secretary Of Com.
merce in the performance of his
duty under the Air Commerce
Act of 1926.
First came the abolition of the
office Of Assistant Secretary of
Commerce for Aeronautics. This
was done in order to ease out
Col. Clarence Young, whose
competency could not be chal-
lenged by Secretary Roper with
out bringing upon the Depart
ment Of Commerce a national re.
buke.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-02-21

Then came the appointment
OF assistant directors of the
AeronauticS Branch, with the
newly created office Of director
left vacant. All these new ap-
pointments are wholly political.
These political appointeeS started
by diSrupting the organization
Of the Aeronautics Branch under
the pretence that they were re.
organizing.
New Always districts were
created. The airways force of
experts was transferred from
the lighthouse districts to the
new Always districts. The air.
ways engineers in charge of the
various districts were given the
new title Of acting Superintend.
ents Of airways.
LOSE EXPERTS
Then the AeronauticS Branch
itself was abolished and became
a mere bureau, and from then
on the story Of this one-time
respectable and respected
agency is one of indefenSible
political exploitation at the ex.
pense Of the public welfare.
The so-called "Roper-reorgani.
cations" of the Aeronautics
Branch have been staggered
over the last year and a half.
The latest one started the first
Of the current month with the
issuance Of a secret order remov.
ing four of the most efficient
Of the few experts left in
the AeronauticS Branch. The
four airways district managers
removed by the secret order Of
February 5, last, are:
r. B. Bourne, manager, first
district, Newark. Army air corps
during the war. Member Of the
Maryland National Guard

cola. With the post office air
mail. Transferred from the post
office to the anyways division,
when it was created.
L. c. Elliott, manager, fourth
district, Fort Worth. Commits
stoned in the Army air corps
upon his graduation from the
University Of Texas. Army pur.
suit pilot. Resigned from the
Army upon appointment in the
Always division.
G. c. Miller, manager, fifth
district, Salt Lake. Navy flying
corps during the war. Transfer.
red to the regular Navy after the
war. Attached to the Atlantic
fleet air squadrons until he re.
signed and entered the Naval re-
serve corps. Appointed airwayS
division when it was created in
1926.
The circumstances under
which these experienced techni-
cal experts were removed from
the Federal service is disgrace
to the Department Of Commerce.

Teaching Patriotism
The Legion in the Schools

The District Department of the American Legion taking
healthy part in the community's civic affairs.
It is therefore, interesting that Comdr 0Connor Roberts
should undertake study of the school system with view to
establishing post Of the Legion consisting entirely of
ployes of the schools
Such post when established would be mighty powerful
force in TEACHING PATRIOTISM the students and in
batting the unAmercan propaganda which interests
striving to inject into the schools.
Teachers in the schools of Boston have set the example
formation Of such post and the project already has the
dorsement Of National Commander Frank N Begrano jr
Commander Roberts, after praising the formation of the
Boston post, said:
'Such post Would be of great benefit in the battle
against Communism. 1t WOuld be a of getting
day in and day out check what is being taught
the schools"
Commander Roberts is right There have been ndica
lions that rcpagandists have been attempting to the pub
lie schools Of the National Capital for the dissemination Of
matter nimical to Government
An alert Legion post in the schools would be able to combat
such teachings.
