BATTLE TAKEN.
TO D. C. HEADS
Parallel VS.. Angle Plans
Argued by Farmers

Distric authorities pondered
parallels and perpendiculars today
as solution of the parking prob
lem facing farmers from Maryland
and Virginia at the Western
Market at Twenty-first and K
Sts. N. w.
Representatives Howard Smith,
OF Virginia, and David Lewis, Of
Maryland, both Democrats, ap-
pearing yesterday at a hearing be-
fore District Commissioners Mel
vim c. Hazen and Dan I. Sultan
and Major Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent of police, pleaded
Tor q continuation of the pres
ent perpendicular parking plan
which, until recently, went un-
challenged.
BACKS PARALLEL RULE
Capt. Arthur e. Miller of No. 8
Precinct, and Inspector William E.
Holmes urged an amendment to
make mandatory parallel parking
In the marked area.
Major Brown and the Commis.
eioners reserved decision pending
receipt Of additional evidence.
Long the scene Of traffic Incl
dents, the K Street Market park
ing area was brought into question
q few weeks ago when Mrs. Daniel
Roper, wife of the Secretary of
Commerce, became involved in a
parking problem in an alley ada
cent to the market.
Mrs. Roper alleged her position
on the matter was justified by Gus
tom.
OLD Law CITED
At yesterdays hearing, Repre-
sentative Smith cited Washing
ton ordinance of 1857 which au-
thorized convenient space" for
farmers selling products at the
market. It defined this as fifteen
feet" surrounding the sidewalks.
He cited also a ruling of a Dis
trict subcommittee in 1881 which
inferred perpendicular parking was
the intent Of the ordinance.
MIGHT AFFECT STORES
Representative Lewis compared
the font ENDS Of farmers auto
mobiles with the store windows Of
tradeSmen's stores and asked
whether a reversal of position
would not affect business.
"K Street motorists think
they have the right to move
along like o presidential Spe-
cial," Lewis said. -
IF anyone questions the so
called congestion on ( Street,
let him get up ten minutes
earlier"
Inspector Holmes told the Com
missioners and Brown horse and
buggy days are over" and said
''tWo or three accidents a week"
near the market showed CON
elusively" perpendicular parking
was at fault.
Captain Miller based his COM
plant on the assertion perpen-
dicular parking resulted in block
ing traffic in both directions on
K Street when trucks were moved
in or out.

IMPERIAL VALLEYS INTEREST
IN PIERSON HALLS FIGHT

Aside from the state Democratic par
fy upheaval if Senator W. G. McAdoo
dominates another man to replace L.
S. District Attorney Pierson Hall. I'M
perial Valley has a direct interest in
the matter. 1t is an interest which might
shed some light, too. on the desire of
the senator To Dust the man who has
largely responsible for his election.
Consider that John Packard. one of the
most likely candidates, is a close per-
sonal friend of A. L. Wirin, erstwhile
attorney for the American Civil Liber-
ties Union, and has represented and
aided Wirin in numerous capacities on
many occasions. Consider, also, that Wiz
in is now an employe of Madame Per-
kins at Washington, in a department
close to the heart of the New Deal.
(Wirin, perhaps you remember. left
Imperial Valley with a black eye and
sore feet after ne was kidnapped from
the Planters hotel Al Brawley to keep
him from making good boast that he
would speak before group of strikers
in Imperial Valleys first major agricul-
tural disturbance. He has. incidentally,
sworn vengeance against the valley)
1t is not impossible, in the light of
these things, that McAdoo has been un-
der pressure at Washington to place
Packard in the u S. district attorneys
office at Los Angeles Add to this that
Hall has told McAdoo's law partner
that he, the senator's partner, cannot die
tate conduct of the office, and you have
a situation which looks bad for Pierson
Hall.
Needless to say, it looks bad for I'M
perial Valley, too, if the civil liberties
union gets active hereabouts again.
Imagine what would happen if Wirin
returned to Los Angeles as chief deputy
in the federal prosecutors office, taking
the place now held by Imperial Valleys
Ernest Utley In that event, it would be
safe to predict that anything even look
ing like an offense down here would re-
ceive minute and personal attention from
an office already prejudiced.
Yes-lmperial Valley has reason to be
interested in the political fight.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-08-05
FIRE ROBS VALLEY
PEOPLE OF PLEASURE

Because someone carelessly tossed a
smouldering cigarette into a patch of
dried grass near CaleXico Lodge, many
acres of Imperial Valleys vacation land
has been rendered useless at great cost
to the public. Lives of so children were
endangered-no matter how remotely
and trees and shrubbery it took years
to grow were left smoking in desolate
blackness.
1t is not often that We in Imperial
Valley pay serious attention to the warn
ings that are so vital to other people
who live in thickly wooded regions. There
are so few trees where we live that it
is hard for US to get used to being care
full in areas where a forest brush fire
might do considerable damage.
Yet it might have been-possibly it was
was-an Imperial Valley resident who
started the brush fire near CaleXico
Lodge Tuesday. Such fires can be just
as disastrous in the mountain territory
TO the west of us as they can be in the
pine tree country. They can, just as
surely, destroy the Fairgrounds where
we can find so much pleasure on sultry
weekends. They can consume cabins and
pleasure spots in their path.
Hereafter, when we go to the noun
tains, or any other place where there
is thick brush or timber, let US heed the
forestry service warnings and be care
full where we throw our lighted cigar
cites and matches, and where we build
fires.

Political scraps among the ma
lions of Central America have made
little news items for United States
readers for years. And, noting that
another general had stormed a
palace and upset a president, or that
a group of rebels were besieging
the legislature, our general reac-
ton was tolerant smirk and the
light observation that boys will be
boys"
Now, filtering out of the Jungle
bound capitals of the isthmus, comes
more disturbing piece OF news.
1t is the warning cry that the bad
boys there are tinkering with ideas
borrowed" from the transatlantic
fascist iron men."
On the face of the report that
Guatemala, Ell Salvador and Hon
duraS have set up a bloc of die
tatorships for their mutual pro-
lection against disturbing elements
coming across the border" there
might at first seem TIC be some
basis for the alarm.

What Other
Editors Say
SOMETHING NEW IN POLITICS
alameda Times-Star

For the first time in our his
tory of political parties a cabinet
member has been severely casti-
gated by a member of Congress
without defense being offered.
Madame Perkins, Secretary OF La
Dor, was the subject of vicious
verbal assault by a member OF the
Democratic party. The entire
membership of congress evidently
concurred. No one arose to her
defense even because she was a
lady" Probably it was the univer-
sal opinion of that body, as it Is
of the country at large, that a lady
has no business in the most diff
cult of the cabinet jobs.
But the point made clear by the
attack is that Madame Perkins has
failed in her job. 1t should be clear
TO President Roosevelt that the
problems of her office are definite
ly out of hand and that, for the
future welfare of labor - which
means the countryside should be
supplanted by an official with an
understanding of the official du-
ties the high office imposes.
Another, and more recent, evil
dence that Madame Secretary mis-
understands her duties is the de-
claration Thursday night that John
L. Lewis, in his campaign to de-
stroy the American Federation OF
Labor, is right Right or wrong, it is
not the province of cabinet MEM
Der to throw the weight of office
in a contest in which two groups
OF workmen are contending for
leadership. Each group is equally
certain of its rights. The A.FOL.,
solidified into a great organization
through long period of years,
doubtless feels that it would be
a betrayal of its several hundred
thousand members to surrender
leadership to Lewis and his group.
Possibly, its position is right. Time
will testify as to that. But it is
clearly out of place for the Secre-
tary of Labor to take a position
in the controversy.
Her day of usefulness-if she
ever had one-is over.
