Bridges Are Swept Away,

GLASGOW-ELKTON
ROAD WAS CLOSED
10000 Racing Fans At
Delaware Park Were
Stranded By Storm.

Tens of thousands of holiday tour
lists were marooned by torrential
downpour that swept sections of
Delaware and Maryland for several
hours Monday night.
With intensity unequaled in the
last 40 years, the driving rain halt
ed all traffic over the highways con-
Meeting Baltimore and Wilmington,
turning thoroughfares into rivers,
sweeping away many bridges, mum
dating various towns in the low
lands, and causing huge property
damage which it was feared may
reach a million dollars.
10000 MarOOned At Track
The driving force of the rain made
traffic impossible for the nearly two
hours that the storm was at its
height. When it lessened slightly,
pleasure seekers sought laboriously
to make their way home. Ten thou
sand were marooned at Delaware
Park. Tens of thousands were laid
up along the roadsides in an area
bounded roughly by Wilmington on
the north, Havre de Grace on the
south, and Rising Sun to the west.
Literally hundreds of cars were wa
ter-logged on Route 273 which leads
from Rising Sun to Newark, and
their occupants curled up as best
they could to spend the night.
Endless lines of other machines
that could start their motors pro-
ceeded at a snail's pace, crossing
rushing waters where only Monday
morning tiny streams trickled
through eulyerts. Many sections of
the road -wers washed away, making
single line trafic necessary and
causing tie-ups that required three
hours time to travel distance of Is
miles.
Newark Flooded
Much of the business section OF
Newark sloshed in water running six
inches to a foot deep, near the Col
lege Inn shortly before O'Clock on
Tuesday morning. Some idea of the
of the storm may be gain
ed by stating that White Clay Creek,
on the outskirts of the town, swept
the level of the roadway, threatening
destruction of the bridge spanning
the stream and making 1t necessary
for only two or three cars at a time
to pass over the raging waters. The
road from Stanton to Newark was
put out of commission by the bridge
being swept away.

own police power. but the details Of
what happened are considered by the
Labor Board as throwing light on the
alleged coercion Of or alleged interfer-
ence with Ford employees in their
union activities.
Incidentally, there has been as yet
no Circuit Court of Appeals review
of any important case involving q
complicated Get Of facts, such as is
embraced in the Ford episode. Even
in the Jones and LAughlin case and
the Associated Press case upon which
the Supreme Court ruled when it up
held last April the constitutionality Of
the Wagner law, there had been no
threshing out OF the facts as to motive
for dismissal OF employees.
II. as the Ford Motor Car Co. may
contend. that the employees were dis
missed for inefiiciency or other cause
and not for union activity, it will be
necessary for the Circuit Court Of Ap-
peas to receive evidence proving con-
cl,isively that the labor Board drew
wrong inferences from the circum-
stances surrounding the dismhsAls.
FOR 1t will be noted that the Supreme
Court itself has expressed from time
to time ana Secretary Of Labor Perkins
has just reiterated in her annual report
that employers may dismiss for "just
cause"
Hence. while the Labor Board W.
seek to prove that the motive for the
dismissals was anti-unionism. the Ford
company doubtless will seek to prove
that its right to hire and fire is con.
stltutionally 30 broad that it may dis
miss union members or organizers even
when inemciency comedies with union

Significant Conclusion.
John Dewey's interview with Mrs.
Agnes Meyer in the Washington Post
a few days ago is one Of the most
important public statements and
analyses to have been made in a long
time. For Mr.. Dewey. analyxing
the collapse Of socialist ideals in the
worlds first socialist republic, comes
to the most important possible con-
clusion.
THE Russian experiment proves"
he says. that when violence is used
to bring about economic and political
reform. the method Of force must
be employed to keep the new govern
ment in power"
Wasn't 1t Machiavelli, who said
4 long time ago. that regimes al
ways kept themselves in power, by
the same means by which they got
there?)
Such revolutions y. can only
retain their political supremacy by a
combination of two methods Partly
by making concessions to the many
. &. . partly a. the stalinist regime
has done. by suppressine all opposi-
| ton, even within the party The
dictatorship Of the proletariat must
lead to a dictatorship over the
proletariat'
After these words. DR.. Dewey can
certainly not be accused of being pro-
Trotsky! He is pro-human. pro-free-
dom, pro.moral, anti-dictator.
Important Plea.
10 my mind. the most important
thing in DR.. Dewey's important in
terview Is his plea to abandon the
Jesuitism of current times. and begin
to re-emphasine the importance Of
means, rather than ends. DR.. Dewey
is not alone in observing that this
willingness to sacrifice truth. hon.
esty. decency. humanity and civil
behavior to causes Is the curse Of
this revolutionary age. Aldous Huxley
has just written a very important
book on this theme.
1t Is not only the extreme left which
seeks progress at any price, that Is
careless about the means 1t uses; the
tendency pervades our whole public
life, and vitiates every effort we make
in the direction Of progress. At the
extreme right. Mayor Hague OF Jersey
City is an example of a completely
cynical and arbitrary point Of view.
The political opportunism Of the ad-
ministration. which destroys its own
objectives by its methods, is An ex-
ample.
The whole public morality OF the
American people is way below their
private morality. And under the lat
ter approximates the former. all our
reform is going to prove to be An IL
