whether the Administration or

the Administration is threat

greatest accomplishments, the

Although it is not definitely

Whether John will come through and set up
the howl that the whole business about Hugo is
a Tory attempt to kill off labor's friends remains
to be seen. Editor Heating of Labor, the organ of
the 81 railroad organizations, has come to Blacks
defense, pointing out that he, Heating, is a
Catholic and is not worried about Hugo's past
Khan affiliations. But there is a question of
whether Lewis and Bill Green won't move very
cautiously in getting into the mess. They have a
very cosmopolitan membership and the attack

BUTTER SALES
AT TREASURY
TO END OCT. 1.
"Outside Activity"
Halted by Rule

BY order of Secretary Morgen-
THAI, the Treasury Department
on october / will abandon tax
free retail butter business that
has flourished for more than two
decades and at times reached a
volume of 1000 pounds weekly.
Cessation of the business, a CO.
operative venture conducted for
the benefit of Treasury's 10000
employees here, was decided upon
because it actually constitutes an
outside activity" officials said.
MERCHANTS HIT
Although the enterprise set up
considerable competition with
Washington merchants, enabling
Treasury workers to purchase the
best grade of butter at definitely
lower prices than elsewhere,
Treasury spokesman today denied
that Secretary Morgenthau's &C.
ton was taken because of COM
plants by District business men.
The butter cooperative actually
begain in 1914, officials said.
Since the World War, when the
movement spread, because of the
huge influx of workers to Wash
ington, almost all Federal offices
have operated cut-price grocery
services for their employees. Butter
was the foremost commodity,
with eggs, milk and cream, and
chickens also carried on the
menu" each week.
ACTIVITIES CURTAILED
Some continue to permit COOP
erative butter distribution, one
being Home Owners Loan Cor
poration. Most of the large de-
partments, however, have forbid
den the activity. Interior, Labor
and Agric culture Departments
have all ceased general butter
sales, Interior officials comment
ing today that "it caused too
much trouble from too many
sources"
Agriculture, through its welfare
association, now maintains a store
for the surplus dairy and pork
products of its experimental farms
at Beltsville, Md; Arlington
Farms, Va, and other sites.

Perhaps a presidential secretary called Mr.
Lewis on the telephone three weeks ago. Perhaps
he said: John. the President would like to see
you some time. Drop in whenever it is con-
venient" Mr.. Lewis may have replied: "Well
had planned to start West tomorrow for such
andsuch a conference and wanted to drop in
to see my mother in Iowa, but if it's important,
could come any time you say"
Riddle Becomes Fact
At any rate, the meeting occurred the day after
the Presidents return from his farm home. And,
while no one was listening. it is just possible
that neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor Mr.. Lewis said
anything of prime Importance. that they did not
discuss the Buenos Aires strike of seamen, the
C. I. o. or the A. F. of L., but rather such
relatively pleasant matters as the Black
appointment

about ungrateful guests like

But here is Mr.. Lewis IL
days later supping ideas at the
Presidents grand mahogany
desk, and neither he nor the
desk will say why or even what
they had to eat.

COOPERATION OF
 MOTORISTS ASKED

Superintendent of Police William J. Roach today urged that motor ists do their utmost to avoid driv- ing through the center while the ex- cavations incidental to the paving project are being made.
 Trafiic tie-ups will be reduced to 8 minimum by this simple cooper ation, Chief Roach continued. With out doubt there are numerous op- orators who habitually drive through the center when they might use afl- other route in similar convenience. These operators are urged to use that other route.
 Most difficult situations are liable to be created by those who approach the center from East Main street, and attempt to turn right in North Main street. The excavations will exist but foR c short time, and Superintendent Roach requests co- operations from motorists during that time.

Sergt. ''7in," Callahan
 Writes From Ireland

pausilaR TOT @ few minutes in his long anticipated jaunt through Ireland and to the place of his birth, Sergeant Timothy J. Calla- nan of the Waterbury Police de- partment pens an interesting let ter to the Democrat from Bellevue Hotel, Lisdoonvarna, Ireland.
 The popular sergeant finds time has brought many magical chang es to the little isle. The little old mud cabins are goine and in their place as if by magic snug slated cottages have appeared. The De- Valera government is accomplish ing wonders, says "Tim," but read his letter and not how the popular police officer observes and records his experience:
 Dear Sir:-
 Accompanied by my daughter, Irene, I left Waterbury 10th of June and after @ smooth crossing of 2 days, enlivened by music and dance, landed at Cobh in the Emerald Isle on 18th, where we had some friends to receive us and motor us to our destination, Lesdoonvarna.
 Lesdoonvarna, N. W. Glare, IS @ charming health resort, protect- ed by the Cliffs of Moher from Atlantic storms and frequented during summer and autumn by thousands of health and pleasure seekers. Many Americans come here also. The sulphur and iron waters are unequalled in Europe amusements are catered for and the scenery is varied and -beauti- ful.
 The general election was most orderly and the name Ireland is omitted from the New Constitu- ton. The ancient name was Fire. The English left out the first B and added Hand" in conformity with Eng -land, Scotland, Ireland. So Fire 1t is now.

PRISON WARDEN
 IN MAINE QUITS
Charges Are Made By Gov ernOr Barrows; Warden
 to Tell Inner Secrets

Thomaston, Me-, July 19-(UP)- Resigned Warden Edward P. John son today denied charges by Gov- ernor Lewis o. Barrows that two convicted murderers roamed the Rocklard business section on "leave" from the state prison here.
 He likewise ridiculed reports that prisoners had attended parties and motion picture shows with women companions.
 "There have been no revels in this prison while I have been here," he raid. T won't say that the men iidn't go out on parties before I :afne here, however"
 Johnson, an appointee of former Gov. Louis J. Brann, said his resig- nation and that of guard, Ernest Chadbourne, would take effect in mid-August and attributed his ac- ton to political pressure.
 Plenty To Say Later
 When I get through, I'll have plenty to say" he asserted. If they don't want me here, then I'm going to leave. There are 50 many small things that can look wrong when a person Is trying to make trouble that the whole thing reeks with pol itics, and cheap politics, too"
 Prisoners seen riding in automo- piles driven by a jail officer merely were enroute to the prison work farm, he said.
 Darrows announced that Johnson and Chadbourne had resigned at the request of "all concerned"
 "The warden is not being run out of his job without just cause" Bar rows said. He was slipped in there politically, anyway. What we want 1t the prisons run right, and while am governor, they will be, or else"
