0'HARA IS OUSTED
AS MEET WINDS UP
Narragansett Track License
Also Suspended by State
Racing Commission.
BY the Associated Press.

fs'NDH'e'tIh
~ ROVIDENCE. r. l., September
L. ia horse race meeting
turbulent with off-the-track
controversy closed at Nara
gansett today while the State prepared
to put into effect orders suspending
the tracks license at the end of the
last race and removing Walter E.
OHara as managing director on or
before September 80.
The State Racing Commission issued
the double -barreled order last night
to climax two-week fight by Gov.
Robert E. Quinn to oust O'Hara.
Quinn greeted the rulings with
declaration that he would enforce
any orders of the commission, what
ever they are" OHara refused COM
ment, pending conference with
counsel
Two other legal complications over
shadowed the final days racing.
just few hours before the Racing
Commission ordered OHara removed
and the license suspended, effective
from Z pm. today until further no.
tlce, Judge James E. Leighton found
probable cause to hold OHara for
grand jury action on criminal libel
complaint brought by Quinn.
Seeks Track Receivership.
a LSO remaining to be disposed Of
was a petition for track receiver
ship. This came from Henry Grove, a
minority stakeholder, who charged
that the threatened license revocation
endangered the tracks principal
assets"
The current meeting was scheduled
to end today but another has been
slated to open October 18.
The three-man commissions unani-
nous decision was based on five of
eight allegations made against the
Narragansett Racing Association, Inc,
a week ago. Hearings have been held
the last three days.
The commission found O'Hara
guilty of a charge that he called
Quinn a g. - liar" 1t was on
this assertion, published in an extra
edition of the Star Tribune Of which
O'Hara is publisher, that Quinn based
his libel complaint.
Holds Coin UnIawfulIy Used.
IN OUR opinion the publication and
use of such language concerning
the Governor of the State of Rhode
Island brings the highest Office in the
State into ridicule and contempt and
Is breach of the public peace, and
Is sufficient reason of itself for suspen-
sion or revocation of the license the
commission said.
The commission also found that
the track unlawfully had used money
due holders of winning pari-mutuel
tickets, that O'Hara had called Lieut.
Gov. Raymond E. Jordan and other
Rhode Island citizens "vile and abu-
sive" names in telephone conversa-
ton, and that the association had
prevented a commission agent from
making an audit on September and
and had denied Thomas Harrop,
secretary Of the commission, admis-
sion TO the association office.

The real snag which remains to be
cleared from the channel Is the con-
troll Of advertising: A construction of

talks, etc, which will regard these
modern devices as an essential part of

human consumption. It was this
proposal which aroused so much hos
tiity to the first "Tugwell bill" and
postponed its passage for three and
half years.
Advertising Control.
The politicians have now decided
that The bill must include control of
advertising, but q curious situation
has arisen inside the administration
itself. The President Is understood
to feel strongly that the advertising
control should be vested In the Food
and Drugs Administration, and Sam
Rayburn, House majority leader, un-
dertook to inform Democratic Repre-
sentatives during the last session that
such was the case
Shortly afterward, however, these
same Representatives were informed
by other deeply interested administra-
tion sources that the President was
quite willing to have this control
vested in the Federal Trade Commits
sion. And, as matter Of fact, Roose.
welt would not veto an otherwise de-
sirable food and drugs law which pro-
vided for F. T. c. control Of the ad-
vertising end Of enforcement.
There is more than mere inter-de-
partmental jealousy involved in F. T.
c. lobbying against the Food and
Drugs Administration. The Federal
Trade Commission has been in ex-
istence long enough to be thoroughly
house = broken to the sensitivity Of

avenue
So it is that the more cynical New
Dealers expect Congress to pass
magnificent new food and drugs act
along Tugwellian lines-and then to
caponize its effectiveness by turning
over the vital element of advertising
control to the well-weathered F. T. c.

Of business and politics.

extending and modernizing the an
tiquated statute new In force. This Is
one Of the best bets on the legisla-
tive horizon, for reasons which are
as plain as the wife Of q practical
politician.
In the first place, business as q
whole Is sufficiently anxious to make
peace with the Great White Father
to be willing to throw few babies to
the wolves-and the food, drugs and
cosmetics business is a pretty OBJ
vious infant for the pursuing pack to
devour.
In the second place. whatever the
administration has done for US as
producers, its most conspicuous and
glaring failure has been in the mat
ter. of protecting the consumer. In
neither N. r. A. nor A. A. A. did
consumer protection get beyond the
stage Of sticking its neck out when
the Ak fell. The higher cost Of living
Is going to make a fair-sized hunk
Of the political history Of the next
four years, and the consumer Of pat
ent medicines, dangerous drugs and
cosmetics, adulterated food and OF
misleading advertisements Of these
commodities Is the easiest target the
administration can select for conso-
lation.
Again, the particular business field
involved in this reform is sharply
divided against itself. The dishonest
minority has been coasting on the
coat tails Of reputable concerns too
long and too far The honest ma
jority Is now developing a selfish in
terest in stamping out unfair and dam
gerous competition in the food and
drug business.
Distractions Out Of Way.
Finally, Rex Tugwell-whose spon-
sorship Of the original reform meas
ure, the "Tugwell bill," did so much to
prevent its passages out of the
Government. The necessary legLsla-
ton can no longer be blocked BY
appeals to prejudice against the red
professor" In fact, after the CAM
paign Mr.. Roosevelt is under a par
ticular obligation to see that Rexs
pet reform goes through without q
hitch.
In the meantime, the 'Tugwell
bill" Is In what political doctors
would call a delicate condition. Sem
