ON POLICE FORCE
Preparations Completed for
Changes That Go Into
Effect Tomorrow.

Preparations for promotions, trans
fers and changes in assignments of
l56 men ON the police force and
changes in boundaries OF six pre-
cincts-all to become effective tomor-
row-were completed today by Supt
OF Police Ernest w. Brown.
The changes were brought about
by the establishment of the thirteenth
precinct station which takes in approx
imately half the territory formerly
handled by the second precinct
Changes in personnel are exclusive of
the promotions of IA officers and the
addition to the froce OF 80 privates,
which was announced Tuesday.
The new thirteenth precinct station
will be under command of Capt. James
E. Bobo, formerly captain of No. 2
Capt. Jeremiah A. Sullivan, who has
been in command Of No. 4, will go to
No. 2, as captain, and 1t. Oscar ].

to captain Of that precinct. No. l3
will have its headquarters temporarily
at No. 2 precinct station.

NV to Second street NE. No. !;
will have the territory between S street
and Euclid street NV, and from Rock
Creek Park to North Capital street
with cut-out to include Mcmillan

Boundaries Of the tenth precinct
were changed to skirt Mcmillan Park
instead of running through it. Boun-
daries of the ninth precinct were
Strengthened along New York an6
Florida avenues to Second street NE
instead of along First street NE.
The third precinct will lose about q

In q 4-year-old, loose jointed canoe
carrying nothing but beer. beans and
candy. three adventuresome young
men arrived here yesterday after q
three-day, 90-mile trip down the
swirling rapids Of the Shenandoah
and Potomac Rivers from Berryville,
Va.
The trio OF thrill-seekers were Wes-
ley Dean, "a, of POST Park road NV,
who is spending the summer in Berry
Vile: Jim Gordon. "a, of Winchester,
a chemical fertilizer salesman, and
Lawrence Castleman, %, OF Castle
mans Ferry, Berryville, operator of an
amusement park.
With faces sunburned, they sat
on the yacht Sunshine, owned by Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Blount, at the Will
son Line dock, and told merry story
of fighting rapids in which their can
vas boat shipped water halfway to
the gunwale.
Although We deliberately chose a
Timber canoe that could bend with
the rapids" one of them remarked,
~ uAAC0 wv ~ VIC OIlc III WlllCN you
had to keep your hair parted in the
middle, and If you were carrying a
quid of tobacco in your jaw, you had
to get rid of it for sake OF balance"
In all. they said, they rode out 127
separate rapids, the most dangerous
OF which was Bull Ring" just below
Harpers Ferry. where natives told
them 10 persons had drowned recent
ly. True or false. they said the con-
vergence there of the Potomac and
Shenandoah gave them the fight of
the trip, the cross-currents sending
the bow completely under at moments,
shipping water by the bucketful
They spun halfway around In
swirling whirlpools, shot past danger
Gus rocks and at times were forced
to drag the boat through rapids toe
shallow to run, but which nearly
swept them from their feet. Wearing
bathing suits beneath their clothes
they were drenched time after time
as the canoe shot along more SUBJ

ing over the sides. At one point they

OF Labor, War, Agriculture and DR..
Charles Merriam of the University Of
Chicago. The steering, or advisory
committee, headed by Frederic Delano,
develops reports and recommendations.
Charles Eliot is the administrative
channel through which far-fung
technical and field reports reach the
executive headWaters.
Mr.. Eliot, grandson Of the former
president of Harvard University, was
born in Cambridge, Mass. He started
fixing up peoples front and back yards
as landscape architect in Boston
IS years ago, after his graduation from
Harvard with B. A. and M. l.. A. de-
grees. He gravitated to Washington.
became its city planner in 1926, direc-
tor of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission in 1898, a con-
tinuation of President Hoover's Com
mittee on Social Trends.
Mr.. Eliot's education and expert
ence is valuable. Government plan
ming over the past quarter century has
gradually grown from clean-ups of
back yards to groups, neighborhods,
towns, cities, counties, States, regions.
Federal. 1t is natural, national
get-together process Mr.. Eliot feels.
1t is a domestic example of the good
neighbor' policy. AS families and
business plan for the future, so the
National Resources Committee lend
their ears. their advice, their time to
local, State, regional, Federal bureaus
to develop united plans for the best
use of land, water, people, all the Ma
tion's resources.
Established by the President In
1885 as an independent agency to
consult and Cooperate with the va
rious Federal bureaus in collecting
planning data, encourage the people
back home" through their agencies
in series Of planning studies, the
idea has terminated. 1t cuts across
the fences of our democratic domain,
with its 5000 separate governments.
Twelve hundred towns and cities now
have continuing planning programs.
Four hundred county 81 district. IS
State planning boards are established.
Eight regional Offices are group bases
for vast interstate problems.
Mr.. Eliot sees the committee as an

his client, the President, on develop

are the basis of many congressional

planned by the contrast between the
offices. A postmaster is a minor official
who has only ordinary routine. duties
to perform. A member of the Federal
Trade Commission has policy de-
termining function-a function which
is, as Justice Sutherland put it, quasi
legislative" And when Congress con-
fers on body of men the right to
exercise "quasi-legislative" function,
Congress is conferring a part of its
own function, part Of itself Con-
gress would not intend that its func-
tion should be arbitrarily interfered
with by President. Congress would
confer part of itself Oh a commission
set up by itself. Congress would not
confer part Of itself on the President.
Certainly the chairman Of T. V. A.
is more like a member of the Federal
Trade Commission than like a post
master. One would infer the Supreme
Court would hold that President
Roosevelt has no right to make this
present removal.
Act Specifies One Cause.
Something hangs upon the language
Congress used when it created T. v. A.
Congress gave the President one linn
tied, specific right to remove members
of the board, for one limited specific
cause. The President can remove
member Of the T. v. A. board if he
imposes a political test or qualifica-
ton" in his selection of employees.
This, Of course, does not figure in the
present case.
About removal for a general cause,
which is the present case. Congress
said (section 4F Of the T. v. A. Act) !:
ANY member of said board may be
removed from ONCE at any time by a
concurrent resolution Of the Senate
and House"
What do these two passages about
removal mean? Do they mean that
the President has the right to remove
for one cause and one cause only,
which cause is not involved in the
present case? Do they mean that
Congress reserves to itself the sole and
exclusive power Of removal for all
other causes?
About that, let the lawyers wrangle
and the Supreme Court decide. The
Supreme Court that will pass on the
present case will contain seven of the
nine justices who unanimously de-
cided against Mr.. Roosevelt in the
Federal Trade Commission case. CAS-
suming the court remains the same
when the T. v. A. comes before it,
Since that decision two new justices,
Messrs. Black and Reed. have been
appointed by Mr.. Roosevelt.
DR.. Morgan Is Out.
But all this about the legal and
judicial aspects of Mr.. Roosevelts
present action counts little. Mr.. Roose-
velt's removal Of DR.. Morgan is a
'fait accompli," thing done. DR..
Morgan is out. If DR.. Morgan goes
back to his chair and his desk, the
two other commissioners can ignore
him. Since they are majority they
