Stolen Car Recovered

A 1889 Plymouth was recovered in the Little Italy" section here this morning by local police. It had been stolen Wednesday in Westport and was the property of Helene Pasdala of Westport.
 Found in the car, which was not damaged, were golf clubs and golf clothes. The owner was notified by Westport police and was scheduled to secure her car later in the day.
 Chief of Police John Gormley was notified by 8 resident of the South Main street section that car was apparently abandoned there, and he sent Sergeant Anthony Farrar to the scene. Sergeant Farrar brought the car to police headquarters. He said the fact that the battery was low indicated he car lights were burning all night and that the car had been there since early this morning. He did not believe the theft was the work of any local res- ident.

TO PRESERVE HISTORIC
BRIDGE AT EVANSVILLE
Mayor And Council Take Action
Locking To This End

The Mayor and Town Council of
Grantsville at a meeting Of the body
on last Friday night resolved to take
action looking to the preservation Of
the old singIe-arch stone bridge span
ming the Casselman River east Of the
town at Little Crossings.
Action by the town authorities on
this matter is receiving the hearty
support of the residents almost with
out exception and will also be apprec-
ated by Garrett county citizens who
are interested in the preservation of
historic landmarks and those things
contributing to the early settlement Of
this part of the country, for it was
over this old bridge and the ford just
below it that thousands who Travelled
westward before the turn of the last
century passed this way.
Built about 1915, this bridge was
said to have been the largest single
span of rubble stone masonry in the
United States, SO feet high and SO
feet in span. 1t was repaired in 1911
by the State Roads Commission Of
Maryland.
When the National Pike underwent
extensive changes several years ago,
traffic was diverted from this bridge
to newly-constructed steel bridge on
a more direct route.
The use of the old bridge has been
prohibited by the Mayor and Council
until repairs are made.
1t is an historic fact that Braddock's
Army with George Washington and
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1939-07-13

have spoken somewhat in this vein,
but when highly placed New Dealers
thus assail one of themselves it seems
to call for an explanation. Two are
offered. One is that the over-righteous
manner and high-powered publicity of
Mr.. Murphy really have created irri-
tation The other is that Mr.. Murphy's
recent speech, in which he urged a
twenty-five per cent reducing in the
Federal payroll and inveighed against
the vast size and cost of the Federal
bureaucracy, gave grave offense. 1t is
true that just before he spoke Mr..
Murphy had made a place for eX@Sen-
ator J. Thomas Heflin. 1t is also true
that he has found jobs for good
many of Mr.. Corcoran's young men,
and is generally "amenable to rea-
son" in patronage matters. But none
of these things, it is held, excuse a
speech pointing out how much money
can be saved by removing useless job
holders. 1t might have been made by
Senator Byrd, of Virginia.

other Americans of that time, crossed
the Casselman River Immediately
south of the bridge on the way to Fort
Duquesne in 1855. In the days of the

at Somerfeld, Pa. The area around the
bridge still retains this name.
Referred to by many as the "sensa-
tionaI' bridge, it was the delight Of
many motorists to pass quickly over
the bridge and at the apex of the
"hump" in the center of structure ex-
perience the thrill like unto the swift

Washington, July II
They Turn On Mr.. Murphy

There may be an idea in some quar-
ters that the New Dealers "close to
the President" in Washington consti-
tute one great big happy family,
stepped to their starry eyes IN that
inspiring Three Musketeers all Tor
one and one for all" stuff. But that
notion is entirely without foundation.
Actually what those who cling to
ifs outer edges refer to as the elmer
circle" seethes with small jealousies
and friction. Not many Of its members
completely trust each other and 1t IS
very real tribute to Mr.. Roosevelt
that he is able to hold together be-
hind himself so many men whose per-
sonalities clash, whose opinions sharp
ly diverge and who are filled with ami
mostly and suspicion.
It is true that most Of these White
House satellites are not wholly dlsln-
terested. Regardless of press-agent
pictures of their idealism, unwaverlng
LOYALTY to Mr.. Roosevelt emphatlcally
contributes to their own material well
fare. This, however, does not lessen
the bitterness with which they seek
to destroy the influence Of important
Administration figures, equally loyal
but of a different breed. For example,
there has been no secret for a long
time of the hostility of the palace
politicians" toward three members
of the Presidents Cabinet-Mr' Hull
Mr.. Woodring and Mr.. Farley.
The reason for this is quite well
known. Not only have the Messrs.
Hull. Woodring and Farley shown
complete detachment from the draft
Roosevelt" movement engineered by
the intellectual liberals" but, IN the
latter's view, the Messrs Hull, Farley
and Woodring are conservative men,
not fully convinced on the economies
of the New Deal and inclined toward
orthodox Democracy. All these things
happen to be true and it is not sur
nrising the young radicals should re-
card them with aversion. But 1t IS
Surprising they should now turn on
one of their own number, against
whom not one of those complaints
could be made-to-wit: the impecca-

The purity of his private, life was
paraded and great stress laid upon
his "crusading spirit" In view OF all
this, the change in the attitude OF ms

now comes from the very group when

it has been fatty stated in print,
among other things, that he is making
too many speeches; hopping about the
country too much; that Washington
and New York 'society" have gone to
his head; that he is obsessed with his
own publicity; is running too hard for

back and get on his job.

Van Der Woude said in the annual
report to stockholders:
THE experience of the industry
in 1878 seems to have been to
large extent forgotten and excessive
production and refinery runs, since
the commencement of 1899, have
once more caused gasoline stocks to
accumulate at a rate which, if not
remedied, will result in an unbal-

NEW YORK, March 31.-Sum-
marizing the high spots of mer-
chandise buying during the last
week the Dun g. Bradstreet Weekly
Review said today:
Retail trade took an abrupt turn
for the better, with a resultant in
crease in wholesale orders for sea-
sonal merchandise, but saying in
primary markets on the whole was
dull"
Business men, the Review assert
ed, continued to express mild op-
timism over second-quarter pros
poets, "at the same time making
every effort to hold inventories down
by producing and purchasing on a
hand-to-mouth basis.
THE estimated retail volume for
the country as a whole was larger
than in the same week last year by
4 to 8 per cent. The regional pat
tern, however was highly irregular,
varying from loss of to per
cent in the Northwest to a gain of
6 to 10 per cent in the Middle West
and South.
wholesale trade as a whole was
spotty but moderately higher than
last year. While replacement orders
for seasonal merchandise were nu-
merous they were generally for
small amounts. Few commitments
were being made for summer and
fall requirements; wholesalers point
ed out that although purchasers Of
this type were severely restricted
compared with normal years they
were averaging slightly ahead of
last year at this time.
AN encouraging development was
the increased emphasis on higher
quality goods. Buyers reported that
their average sale was larger in
many departments"
