Which Is Bigger?

The warden contents it is a case of which is the bigger, the 'main stem" in town, Mir Rathburn and the EZRA as represented by MT Whittemore, or the warden and the board of warden and bur- gesses.
 Many observers realize the Rathburn incident was just the spark which touched the explosion which has been brewing between the town administration and the EZRA for some time. Charges and counter charges of non.coopera- tion, of interference have. been hurled outside and inside EZRA board meetings ever since the board was appointed, with the three board members, John Cor man, John Caskey and Joseph Talbot playing the role Of inter. ested spectators.
 But no matter what the out come, 1t provides something to talk about in these days when spring is just around the corner and the weather is not the topic of con- yersati0n, 1t used to be when snow was billing drifts up around door, steps and the thermometer was flirting with 20 below.

Whittemore, Jr., republican party standout, has caught the interest of many who ordinarily would not be interested in political or town matters.
 Some feel that the warden should not meddie in affairs of the local bureau of department which is run from a state office. Others defend his action, claiming that if the positions were reversed. that is, if Mir Whittemore, as war. den, had fired man from q DO. sition of foreman, he would resent 1t if this man were offered virtual ly the equivalent of same position in the town.
 It's effect on Mir Sheridan's can. didacy for reuofnination is not yet clear. If many democrats believe as the warden charged yesterday that Mir Whittemore is interesting himself in democratic matters in an effort to prevent Eheridan's nomination, fearing his strength fin the town election, they will prob. ably vote for his supporters so that Mir Sheridan could be nominated It Is an open secret that the dem- ocratic caucuses will probably de. eide the result of the election.
 s-<4-~a-s
 Caucus Possibilities
 If Mir Sheridan is not nominated by his party, many feel the dem- ocratic chances, through the rift caused, would be hurt irreparably as far as the spring election is concerned. And 1t is possible toe that he might run on an inde. pendent ticket If not nominated thereby causing an open break.
 If the warden Is renominated, his chances depend considerably or just how large a faction has been alienated in caucus fights.
 Many democrats believe that fl dispuates can be smoothed over before election day, the democratic party, which has returned huge majorities in the last two elections here, will be returned to office.
 MT Whittemore contends there is nothing political in. the effort to name Mir Rathburn. He says Rati1- burns record is clear thus far as far as the EZRA Is concerned. He has stated he will discharge Rath. burn if he engaged in politics while on the TERRA or proves ob. jectional or inefficient. He feels he is acting within his powers as ad- ministrator in naming Rathburn as foreman.

Mother Protests Against
Child Gambling

To the Editor of The Times:
AS a parent may I voice my
objection through your col
umns to the vicious attempts
being made to teach our chill
dren to gamble?
I refer to the so-called "claw''
machines and other nickel-in-
the-slot machines which are
found in stores all over the
District.
Your newspaper has carried
on a splendid campaign against
gambling. Yet these machines
are taking the nickels from
the children and teaching
them to gamble.
An adult is supposed to real
ize the evil of gambling. But
young children do not, and the
lessons they receive from these
machines are very apt to start
them off on the wrong foot in
life.
We all know the tragedy that
gambling has wrought in many
lives. Can we not, then, pro-
tect our children and keep
them from this curse?

which he is president.
The convention, which opens

confronting the mems wear in

Mr.. GroSner has taken an active
part in formulation of most of
the legislation affecting retailers,
starting with the creation of the
National Industrial Recovery act
itself when he appeared before
House and Senate committees rep.
reSenting mems wear merchants.
He was also one of the small
group of men who helped write
the Presidents Unemployment
Agreement, and took an active

prodigy the world has ever known
and whose appearance here has
aroused such storm of discus
sion, due to the District child
labor law.
Little Ruth-who celebrated her
tenth birthday only a few days
ago-will arrive here Monday, and
she is thrilled to death, for she has
been promised a visit to the PreSi-
dent, and then she expects to
meet a number of members of
Congress and other Government
officials.
Ruth, who has just returned
from nine months study abroad,
gave her first recital in New York
last Saturday and critics asserted
that her playing is even better
than last season when she created
such a sensation.
The Boys Choir-which Pope
Plus XI recently declared sounded
like the voices of Angels singing
in ParadiSe"-dates back to 1496
when Emperor Maximillian issued
an imperial decree creating the
organization, and for 400 years it
has existed.
The boys will sing, group of
Sixteenth Century church music

Another highlight of the week
will be the appearance here next
Friday afternoon of La Argentina,
without doubt the greatest dancer
of the age.
It is three years since the CLAM
orous Spanish dancer has ap,
peared before a Capital audience,
and a capacity house will greet
her.
Included in her program are
three dances never given here be-
fore. One of these is the much
discussed Madrid, $780," depict
ing an awkward young girl Of that

Declares U. S. Violated
Newspaper Code

Elisha Hanson, counsel for th(
publishers association, yesterda!
issued the following statement
"The sole issue in the con.
trOverSy between daily news
paper publishers and the Gov.
ernment is over the refusal of
the latter to observe the provi-
SiOns Of the code for the daily
newspaper publishing business.
The code was asked for by the
President, submitted at his re-
quest, and approved by him.
CALLS ACTION ILLEGAL
"The action of the National
Labor Relations Board in as
serting jurisdiction over code af-
fairs was contrary to the ex-
press provisions of article W.,
section s, Of the code and in
violation of article VII Of the
code.
"The publishers committee at
all times has taken every step
to preserve the Sanctity of the
agreement. These steps were
taken before the National Labor
Relations Board attempted to
usurp authority not warranted
by the code. At the request
Of high Administration officials,
there have been prOtracted ne
gOtiatiOns since.
ASK OBSERVANCE OF CODE
mot only did the six assOcia-
tiOns of newspaper publishers
make their position clear, but
ON December 10 last, the code
authority, representing more
than 1900 newspapers which
have assented to the code, in
formed NRA that it regarded
the action of the National Ia
Dor Relations Board as invalid
and illegal. 1t insisted that the
self-aSSumed jurisdiction of the
National Labor Relations Board
be repudiated by the Govern
ment in order that the code
might be preserved"
