fey (D), Pennsylvania, who told
President Roosevelt last week that

The action was not unexpected
because Gary flatly refused to sub

yesterday after the chairman de-
clared he had already polled the
commission and knew there were
sufficient votes to GUST him.
Inefficiency Charged
There was no second to charges
of "inefficiency and lack Of ad-

against Gary by MNinch. The
commission voted 4 to 2 to support
McNinch.
The dismissal followed an intra-
commission row which has become
so furious in recent months that
PresidentR roosevelt. it is reported,
intervened in an effort to restore
peace.
DELAY REFUSED
Com missione e rs Craven and
Payne voted against 0ary,s dis

be deferred until a thorough in

but was turned down.
The meeting was held behind
closed doors, but it was learned
that one of the commissioners sug-
gested that Gary be admitted and
allowed to defend himself. This
was curtly refused.

CZECH TROOPS,

Must Yield Today,
Prague Told

KoMAR ON, Czechoslovakia,
Oct. 13 G.N.S0 Negotiations be-
tween Czech and Hungarian dele
gates to the conference here on
Hungary's territorial claims S
struck a new deadlock today as
the Hungarian representatives re-
jected the latest Czechoslovak pro
posals.
Turning down the suggestions
advanced by Prague's representa-
tives as completely inadequate
and not based on chronological
grounds" the Hungarians gave
the Czechs until 6 p. m. (12 noon
E.S.T0 to submit new proposals.
At z p. m. Il p. m. E.S.TJ no
further aDord from Budapest had
been received.
Virtual Ultin1atunl
As result of this virtual ulti-
matum, tension between Czecho-
slovakia and Hungary heightened
rapidly. Troops we're reported
concentrating on both sides Of the
Czech Hungarian border.
It was believed the talks may
collapse completely tonight unless
the CzecIas provide solution ac-
ceptab Bile to the HungarianS.
Should a complete breakdown
come, it was stated, the next step
probably would be Intervention by
the big Four" powers in the dis
pute, as provided by the Munich
agreement.
Hungary Firm
Thus the negotiations rapidly
approached what may be a de-
cisive climax following the snag
struck yesterday when the Czechs
rejected claims advanced by the
Hungarians regarding allegedly
predominant Hungarian majorities
in certain areas Of Czechoslovakia
which the Budapest government
is seeking to annex.
From Budapest came reports
that the Hungarian government
confidently expects" that the
Czech negotiators will have a new
proposal ready by the time the
time-limit expires.
The new rupture came as the
Hungarians stood firmly on most
of their original demands as to
territories to be ceded to Hungary
by Prague.

NO COMMON GROUND
The fact that organized labor
leaders at Yakima denounced ini-
tiotive No. $50, and there was some
talk of boycotttng the farmers Of
the state because Of their activities
in sponsoring the measure, clearly
indicates how foolish serious minded
men can become at times. II it were
not for the farmers of the state,
there would be no industrial pay
rolls. Hence there would be no La
Dor unions.
BY the same token, there is no
common ground upon which labor
organizers and the farmers can
meet. The farmers are Industrial
lists and capitalists. They are BUSH
ness men. The urban worker is an
The farmer is IA en-

spy BUSINESS

SPY BUSINESS
There has been, recently, q lot Of
excitement and concern over the
publicity given to certain federal
indictments in this country, over
foreign espionage. There has come
to the people various cases Of the
stealing of our military and naval
secrets, the property Of the q. s..
Such revelations come from the In
ner sources and the indicted ones
have been caught with the goods"
The subject has caused considerable
discussion among the nations cit
liens but q greater concern on the
part Of governmental officials. We
are very apt to overlook the fact
that any criticism, on our part, In
regard to nations involved In the at
fair, would be to agitate q feeling
Of unnecessary opposition to q
country engaged In the same prac-
tice as every other country the
employing Of spies. Feeling runs
high when guilt Is proven In such
cases, and no doubt a deserved
will be meted out TO-
the offenders with the usual ac-
compartment Of wide spread pub
lefty. But 1t remains for the folks
Of Kennewick to remember that all
vo<iouc hova ,,cod <In3a means NJ
obtaining information Of the Sc
crets Of foreign governments. The
word spy has never been q pretty
one, but has become form Of pro-
cedure In military relationships.
When q spy Is caught by q nation
he Is usually condemned as q trail
tor and q betrayer, but when he has
come by secret information which
benefits his country he Is more apt
to be labelled q hero and patriot.

BY LAWRENCE CROLIUS.

w YE HATE to be . kill-joy ~
M early in the season, but
w have you stopped to think
Of the chill winds Of winter
which will soon be bowling around
our doors, making US burn great guam
titles Of fuel to keep warm, and caus-
ing . lot Of discomfort to all but .
few ardent ski enthusiasts? OF course,
the smart thing to do Is to travel on
down to Florida or some such place
right away, but unfortunately most of
US have to stay in these parts and
bemoan our fate.
In recent years, though, a lot of
things have been done about making
the winter little more bearable, such
IS the installation Of oil burners and
other forms Of automatic heat, in
sulation for houses, closed cars and
electric blankets. Much has been
done. we admit. but there are q few
vulnerable spots that must be taken
care OF before we can really relax and
enjoy cold weather.
Take for example the horrible busi-
ness OF opening . garage door on q
freezing night when snow and sleet
are coming down with a vengeance
and one has to pry himself out Of 4
warm car to cope with a fancy door
which will probably refuse to open.
Many brave men have flinched be-
fore such an ordeal to the extent of
staying right in the car all night and
being found cold and stin the next
morning by faithful st. Bernard dogs.
Science has again come to the rescue
OF rapidly softening mankind, how
ever, by providing us with a remark
able new device which opens garage
doors without our having to disem-
bark at all. or even open q window.
Your car, FIRST of all, is equipped
with q little device which creates
magnetic field when you place your
finger ON . convenient button. Then
you have another electrical device
buried IN the concrete of your drive
way Just short distance from the
garage door. Thus when you drive
