PROCRASTINATION NEVER WISE
alameda Times STAR

When Vice-President Garner told President
than the President of the United States" he
than the President of the United States ne
touched off a bamb that shook both halls of
Congress. Ray Tucker ultra-liberal and nation
ally known correspondent, termed it the Garner
Rebellion Efforts to keep the startling declar-
alton sub rosa failed and quickly all Capitol
Hill was aware OF it, 1t doesn't particularly
matter that it the automobile sit-down strike
situation that brought it about. When the astute
Texan insisted the President get the men out
Of the plants and told that it couldn't
be done without bloodshed,' Mr.. Garner deliver
ed his opinion, accompanied by emphatic finger
shaking. That did not end it. He returned to
the Senate and started things which have since
kept members of both Houses very much dis
turbed.
What matters If that procraStination is i'm
medately setting the warning factions right as
to the law OF the land and seeing to it that
it was strictly observed disturbances have been
permitted TO spread until they are so far out
of hand that greater blood-shed may be neces-
sary TO halt them. 'Hoodlums roam the night
riotng and menacing homes and lives of citi-
zens' is report from the strike leaders them
selves and an indication OF what may be expected
unless some plan is former whereby the conten-
tious factions may sit around table and arrive
at satisfactory understandings. When groups
are permitted too much latitude in forcing their
desires on others, element always lurking
in the background, becomes actife in types of
lawlessness that have little bearing on the busi-
ness involved.
Procrastnaton is never wise. The highest
authority should act with firmness and clarity.

ers-Frank Ward O'Malley.

OMalley was the only reporter l
ever knew whose writings became
generally known without by-line,
a credit to his rare genius. His
stories in the old Sun were never
signed, yet every Sun reader was
able instantly to spot the OMalley
touch. He had style no one could
initiate. And he knew how to inter-
view people in a way that made
them tell him things they would
tell no one else. Irwin Cobb once
glorified him in a Saturday Evening
Post short story called "O'Malley
of The Sun" And by that title he
was known to newspaper readers
of New York of that generation.
Compared to filling a single column
today, his work was prodigious.
There was at least one column
and-a-half story by OMalley, aside
from a half dozen others ranging
from a half to a quarter column.
Now and then there would be just
stick that would stand out like a
finely chiseled gem. One concerned

turning dull brown and red and

its yellower moon, bonfires and

known and more typical than any
other today.
