Bitter Criticism Voiced By Attorney Crawford;

GARNER GAINS
 BY HATCH BILL
Chances For Nomination in 40 Brighter By

BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff COrrespOndent)


 Washington, Aug. 3.-CUP)-Vice President John N. Gamers anti third term presidential candidacy appeared today to have benefited from President Roosevelts approval of the Hatch clean-politics bill.
 The improvement of Gamers chances coincided with a White House move possibly calculated to reorganize some of the campaign machinery which functioned almost perfectly for MT. Roosevelt in 1886.
 Gamers only public political commitment this session was to ob- tain enactment of the Hatch bill. His friends have organized presi- dential campaign for him on vasis which scarcely can avoid ultimately drawing MT. Roosevelt's opposition. But the federal political machine may be hamstrung by the Hatch bill because 1t outlaws organized political activity by thousands of government employees.
 Postmaster General James A. Far ley's smartly run organization also got a jolt> when that bill became a law. The Democratic national com mittee opposed but could not stop 1t
 MT. Roosevelt conferred yesterday with officials of the Good Neighboi League, which was cog in the 1886 machine. They were accompanied by Charles Nicholson, publicity direc- tor of the Democratic national com mittee, and Lowell Mellett, director of the National Emergei. Council. None would discuss the White House conference. Organized by Stanley High who subsequently, lost favor with the president, the league rallied educational. religious and similar organizations to the New Deal.
 The conference revived third term speculation on the 18th anniversary of the announcement by the late Calvin Coolidge that: T do not choose to run" MT. Roosevelt has avoided any public commitment on a third term and Washington opin- ion is divided. There is considerable support for the theory that contin- ued legislative defeats, of which congressional refusal to consider

The troops, complemented by two tanks which mounted artillery, moved swiftly cut of towering Love- land Pass through the Green Moun- talns toward this Blue River Cam yon settlement where guns bristled in the hands of farmers and rancher vigilants and striking unionists who had fought two pitched battles dur ing the night. They will proceed to establish martial law at once.
 Six Are Wounded
 At least six men had been wound- ed in a battle between strike sym pathizers from Denver and deputy sheriffs two miles southeast of Kremmling and in a second battle which ragged up and down the can- yon here. Five of those wounded in the Kremmling battle were hos pitalized and 1t was reported that a number of other injured, all Den- yer men, had been returned there for treatment.
 In the confusion attendant on the battle here it was impossible to de- te-mine the exact number injured, but at least two men were reported to have suffered gun shot wounds and several others knife wounds and gtghed skulls inflicted by ax handles or other clubs in hand-to-hand conflict.
 State of "Insurrection"
 Governor Ralph L. Carr declared e state of ''insirrection' prevailed and ordered troops to establish mar tial law. He had been informed, he said, that armed forces were en- gagged in actual conflict" and that hundreds of men were opposing each other "in such manner that vio- lei1ce and bloodshed are imminent" Early today bridges and highways were blown up and barricades were erected by the strikers and their sympathizers and by non-striking workers aided by ranchers and farmers who precipitated the fight Ing late yesterday when they broke through picket lines and took over the Green Mountain dam and tun- mel project, which had been closed three weeks by the strike.
 List of Injured

CHAMBERLAIN
 SHOWS ANGER
Revolt in Commons on Ad- iOurnment--Seeks Names
 of OppOsers
BY WALLACE CARROLL

(United Press Stan COrreSp0ndent) London, Aug. 3 - (UP) - Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was reported today to be angry at a minor revolt in the House of Com monse and to have asked party whips to report the government sup porters who opposed his motion last night to adjourn parliament from Friday to October 3.
 Between 30 and 40 men of the government coalition, largely con- servative but including nat!onal-lib- eral and mathematician fractions, voted against the motion.
 Chamberlain won easily First commons defeated a labor motion, | which he held was a confidence vote, by 250 to 132. Then 1t passed the government motion for adjourn ment by 245 to 129.
 But Winston Churchill and other conservatives spoke against the adjournment, in view of the Eu- ropean situation, and showed their opposition by abstaining from vot- ing. Anthony Eden, former foreign secretary, was absent but he was re- ported to be "ill."
 It was reported that Chamberlain was so angry he intended to call some of the abstaining members to account and that he might also ask the conservative party annual con- gress, which meets early in October, to consider the position of the "re- volt.ng" members.
 Last nights session was rated cas- fly the angriest of the present ses- sion. The revolt" developed grac- ually as various conservatives such as Churchill. Samuel Vyvan Adams, Ronald Garland, Sir Stanley Reed and Duncan Sandys joined the of- ficial opposition-labor and liberal in vehemently opposing long ad- jourrment.
 It was because of this that Cham berlain demanded vote of confi- dence.
 But he was further angered when the rebels" stayed in the smoking roo mand rejected all appeals by party whips to vote, even though a

George Carter Retires

George Carter, Smyrnian,
ended a long and active SER
vice in newspaper work We'd
nesday, 27 years of which
have been spent on the JouIn-
al-Every Evening, Whining
ton papers. The severing of
active service on the News
Journal staff was the occasion
of a farewell" by his associ-
ates at which he was present
ed with a token Of remem-
brance. George Carter was
practically raised in Smyrna,
learned his trade on The
Smyrna Times under the late
r. D. Hoffecker, ST., founder
of this paper and went out
from Smyrna a young man to
devote his life to newspaper
work. He practically educat-
ed himself while working on
newspapers, attending night
schools to better fit him for
his task. That he succeeded
is attested too BY his rapid
rise in his profession. Nh.
Carter has had intimate ac-
quaintance with prominent
men Of his time and his
trenchant editorials have
done much to mold public
opinion. Mr. Carter retires
to his Smyrna farm with the
consciousness that his work
has been well done. We join
with others Of his newspaper
friends il wishing him the
peace and quiet he elects to
take on his farm and may the
remaining years Of his life be
content and happy.

Motor Law Changes

If the Legislature enacts a
bill sponsored by the Della
aware Safety Council to make
changes in the motor law,
several desirable detectives
will be attained. '4The act" :"
says the Journal-Every Even
ing, SIS being patterned after
the Uniform Vehicle Code
which has been approved by
the National Conference on
Street and Highway Safety,
the result of thoughtful study
by persons whose expert
knowledge has been the guild
ing influence.
Among other things the
community Of interest be
tween Delaware and other
states will be strengthened, If
the proposed act is passed in
it's present shape. While that
is not the main purpose of the
measure, it is important nev-
ertheless.
I'm proposing to increase
the speed limit from As to so
miles an hour, for daylight
driving, the aim is to adhere
to the line Of reasonableness,
and to conform to what some
other states are doing in this
particular, notably the neigh
boring state Of Pennsylvania,
which adopted a policy Of
rigid enforcement when it
permitted the speed increase.
Proposal to confne night
driving to 45 miles an hour,
while theoretically justifiabIe,
might cause some confusion.

Spending Is Serious

Every so often an an
nouncement comes along to
shock us into a fresh realiza-
tion of how serious the finan-
cial situation of the govern
ment really is, says the Journ-
al-Every Evening.
''This time it is a Treasury
statement revealing that fed
eral spending has used up, in
the first seven and a half
months of the current fiscal
year, all of the income the
government expects to re-
ceive for the entire II
months. BY February Is the
government had spent S5,-
616,76O,O15, OF about $780,
100000 more than the esti-
mated receipts for the year.
Spending already scheduled
will leave the government
four billion dollars in the hole
by the time the fiscal year
ends June 80.

this means, try to imagine
what would happen to an in

personal finances the same

Commission Wants Tunnel

Agreeing with the Cover
nor's commission that a Della
ware river tunnel from Ned
Jersey to this side of the riv-
er at or near Wilmington
would be a valuable and prof
liable public utility. The Sun
day Star thinks it ought to be
owned by the State Of Della
ware OF by New Jersey and
tunnel should be financed by
bonds issued by a joint state
commission it is entirely prob
able that-as Governor Nc
Mullen suggests-the United
States government would con
tribute S5,OOO,OOO Of the esti-
mated S15,OOO,OOO cost. To
pay off interest and bonds the
state Oh states should charge
a reasonable toll, with the un-
derstanding that the tunnel
shall be toll free as soon as
the debt is cleared off. Fail

pected profit. BY all means

mile speed at night as well as
during the day, just as there
are other highways on which
a much lesser rate would be
better day OF night. Sound
judgment of the driver is nee
essary whatever the speed
limitations.
"a highly important fea-
ture of the bill is one which is
aimed at the drunken driver.
The purpose is to keep out of
the drivers seat persons un-
der the influence of liquor or
drugs. A tipsy motorist,
whether driving or back of
the wheel of a parked car, will
invite trouble for himself"

Sit-DOwn Strikes Outlawed

In a ruling Monday, in the
Fansteel case, that the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board
may not compel a firm to re-
instate workers discharged
because Of participation in a
sit-down strike the Supreme
Court has decided an issue Of
the first Importance. Of
scarcely less Importance, says
the Morning News, care the
decisions of the Court in two
other labor cases involving
the Columbian Enameling and
Stamping Corp. OF rerre
Haute, Ind. and the Sands
Manufacturing Co. of Cleve-
land. In both of these cases
the National Labor Relations
Board had contended that the
courts were without power to
review the actual findings of
fact upon which it's orders
were issued. Since the Board
acts as judge, prosecutor, and
jury all rolled in one, this OBJ
viously gave defendants some
thing less than a fair chance.
In its opinion the Supreme
Court not only upheld the
power Of the courts to review
the facts, but ruled that the
Boards orders in these two
cases were not supported by
the facts Of evidence.
Taken together these three
decisions mark an important
Qualification Of the laws gov
erning labor relations in in

mary significance. But they

Our New Mayor and Council

For the first time Smyrna
is to have a Mayor, directly
elected by the citizens Of
Smyrna. In the election held
Monday this honor was won
by William E. Matthews, Jr.,
who defeated George r. Stew
enson who had been Presi-
dent Of Town Council, by the
decisive vote Of 261 to 159.
At the same time S. Creadick
Ennis, a valuable member Of
Council, was reelected for an
other term by the largest
vote Of 1923 and John G. Still
was elected to Council over
George w. Turner by the vote
of 273 to $50. We congratu-
late the new Mayor and the
two members of Council on
their election and wish them
a successful term. We also
congratulate Town Treasurer
Harry ]. Lower; Town Collec-
tor Mrs. Lotta E. Robinson,
on the fine vote of confidence
they received in their re-
election as well as to the
three new Assessors, Messrs,
Jefferson, Malcolm and Car

showed a spirit of interest in
town affairs that brought out
a total of 42S voters, twelve
of whom lost their vote be-

to make the comparison COM

previous years so that he was

"The fiscal policies of the

just as fantastically out of ac-

in the fact that the federal

ting itself deeper and deeper
into debt, but piling up load
of debt for everyone in the
country at the same time.
And the people eventually will
have to pay it, by increased

Movement in Recent Years.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associate Press Financial NrtR.

NEW YORK, June 14.-After four
hours Of taking beating all along
the line, stocks rallied sporadically
in the closing hour today.
At the last bell graph of price
trends would have looked as irregu-
lar as the Rocky Mountains, with
only one circumstance certain
transfers had approximated only
400 900 shares.
News of fundamental importance
to traders was at minimum-and
so were the activities of the traders.
They had sat back most of the day.
dabbling intermittently at trend
determining transactions. Then,
near the end of the session, some
seemed to feel prices had gone low
enough to make repurchases.
The result, in the thin" dealings
prevailing, was sharp halt to the
downward drift and actual eleva-
tions, in some cases, above yester-
days final prices.
Metals and aircrafts were made
the basis for the rally, with Douglas
climbing around two points and
copper stocks resisting the general
downward move throughout the
session.
The upward-bound contingent in
cluded Anaconda, Kennecott, Cerro
de Pasco, Electric Auto Lite. Chrys-
Ter, Westinghouse. Johns-Manville
and North American.
American Telephone, ex dividend,
was off more than two points near
the close, but still full point better
than the days worst quotation.
Other declining securities included
U. S. Steel, Goodyear, International
Harvester, Air Reduction. Texas
Corp. Standard of N. j., Santa Fe
and Owens-I Illinois.
