State Gains
Dredges Add 400
Acres to California

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1
Q.N.S0.-Four hundred acres of
land were added to the territory
Of the State of California, on No
vember 81 when the American flag
was raised over Treasure Island,
man-made site for the 1899 Golden
Gate International Exposition in
San Francisco Bay.
Addition of the territory to the
State domain was Signalized by
elaborate ceremonies on the island
where millions of Americans and
foreign visitors are expected to
gather a year and three months
from now.
This land was won by peaceful
penetration"-the penetration of
giant fleet of dredges into
mounds of black Sandwich
made land where before there had
been only water.

DISSENSION HITS
.USHA AS VOELL
RECEIVES POST.
designations Foreseen
In His Division

Political civil war threatened to-
day within the new United States
Housing Authority with official
admission that youthful Richard
F. Voell has been appointed to adj
minister $134,0O0,00O in Govern.
ment funds as director of USHA's
new management division.
Several designations within the
division may be forthcoming, it
was predicted today at the Interior
Building. Disgruntled officials
subordinate to Voell, it was said,
had not expected his choice by
Administrator Nathan Straus, and
charge he had but nine months of
business experience prior to enter
ing the Government service.
APPOINTMENT DEFENDED
At the same time VoelPs appoint
ment was warmly defended by the
Housing Authority officially. It
was declared he had several years
of business activity in the housing
field after graduation from the
University of Illinois, and that he
has fully demonstrated his ability
to handle the position given him
during a long tenure with Public
Works Administration under Har-
old Ickes.
Voell, who is 80. is one of the
500 employees transferred to USHA
when the PWA housing division
was shifted bodily to the new
agency under legislation creating
the latter.
He entered PWA in 1888. becom-
ing acting chief of the Housing
Divisions management unit under
Angelo R. Clas. who later headed
Administrator Iickes' Division of
Investigation and whose resigna-
ton as a PWA official became ef-
fective yesterday. Voell's later
service was under Howard A. Gray,
last PWA housing director.
METHODS OPPOSED
1t was said today that when
President Roosevelt chose Straus
for the USHA administrative post
instead of Gray, who had been
backed by Ickes, Gray recon-
mended Voel to Ickes as the best
man" for the USHA management
post, and that Ickes in turn recon.
mended him to Straus.
1t was learned today that Voell's
opponents oppose his methods of
personel administration as high
handed" and in some cases dis.
criminatory.
His new post means administra.
ton OF all former PWA projects,
some still being built and some al
ready completed and fully rented.

PROPERTY RIGHTS
MEAN RESPONSIBILITIES

There is a growing inclination in some
sources, among them a national maga-
zine of an ultra-liberal trend, to Justify
sit-down strikes on the theory that work
ers have a property right" in their
jobs, which they are protecting by means
of the sit-down strike This particular
magazine even favors law making the
sit-down strike legal-so the worker
'can protect his property rights
1t is doubtful if any legislature, re-
gardless of distinct radical leanings,
would adopt such law. 1t is too ridicul-
Gus for sane consideration, especially
by men who were elected to represent
the opinions of their constituents. If sit
down strikes were legal, public opinion
still would outlaw them.
The workers job is created by the
existence of the very property he threat
ems through his strike. 1t might as we'll
be argued that the worker, after Is or
20 years with company, acquires own
ership of the company. AS a matter of
common sense, he should have acquired
only one thing-such great value as an
employe that his discharge would not
be considered. Based on that value, his
earning power should have increased.
There is still greater argument against
the workers property right in his job,
however. If it is to be legally recognized,
the law cannot go half way. 1t must
carry out the theory to its fulfillment.
Let us concede, for the sake of argument,
that there is such a property right.
What then?
With a fully vested property right
by reason of his employment, the work
ing man would be morally bound to par
ticipate in the gamble that any modern
day business takes He would share
more fully in the profits, it is true, but
he would share, too, in the losses. In
month when his company went into the
red, he would not receive wages-he
would pay money to the company.
If the property right theory is to be
carried out to its end, the sit-down strike
would cost the laboring man just as
much as it costs his employer-and there
would be no more sit-down strikes. La
Dor, however, doesn't want to go that
far.
Property rights have a way of carry
ing responsibilities with them.

One day, it asks for public support"
SO quietly, yet so thoroughly does the
Ell Centro Elks Lodge go about its char
liable deeds that few in the community,
outside the lodge, know the scope of the
program 1t is not common knowledge,
for instance, that the local lodge has
the highest per capita charity rating of
any lodge in the United States. The
mere fact that it is not common knowl-
edge is high tribute to the lodges lead
ership here. Charity is not something
the lodge boasts about.
There is no way of measuring the good
the lodge has done in and about Ell Gen.

and families have been given the boost
that helped them over the bumps, how
many persons haze been saved from de-
spair, how many have found new faith
because of the lodges quiet efforts,
