Gov. Stark Becomes
Kansas City Police
Head Today
Rule Like Ousted Boss,
Pendergost's Will Be by
Remote Control
BY the Associated Press

ny the hSSOClateu fTesS.
KANSAS CITY, July S.-Gov.
Lloyd c. Stark replaces Tom Pen
dergast. imprisoned Democratic
political boss, as head of Kansas
City's police department today.
Gov. Stark's rule, like Pender-
CASTS, will be by remote control.
The Legislature, at the Governor S
urging, recently created a four-man
commission to direct the 650-man
department. His signature makes
the bill law and Immediately places
him in charge.
Under machine rule of the past
seven years. Pendergast and his
henchman, former City Manager H.
F. McElroy, bossed the force through
fgureheads. Control of the police
had been transferred from the State
to Kansas City in 1882 by a Supreme
Court ruling.
Walter Bliss, inspector for the
Federal immigration department, is
most prominently mentioned for
chief of police. He gathered infor-
nation on gambling and crime con-
ditions which Gov. Stark used in
his fight for State control.
Whether Bliss or someone else is
named. the department is expected
to ally itself closely with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. Under
Pendergast-Higgins rule, the police
drew caustic criticism from j. Edgar
Hoover, F. B. l. chief, for lack Of
cooperation and for permitting the
city to become known as a hideout
! for criminals.

Of controversy raging about Harry
Bridges nears a climax as the Gov
ernment and the defense marshal
evidence for hearing Monday at
Angel Island, on whether the c. 10.
longshore leader is a deportable,
alien Communist.
The immigration service has not
disclosed the nature of any Of its
evidence nor the name of a single

tested that the campaign was lin

The hearing establishes a prece-

mitted. The case may. last two
weeks. 1t will be presided over by
Dean James M. Lands of Harvard
University Law School.
Richard Gladstein, counsel for the

director, has called in as associate
the noted woman deportation law

Mr.. Bridges, named in the arrest

Renton Bridges, alias Harry Dorgan,
alias Garfield, alias Rossi," many
times has denied the charge he was
a member of the Communist party.
Miss King said the defense would
not fall back upon the recent Su-
preme Court decision in the Joseph
Strecker case. The Strecker deci-
sion held that former membership
In the Communist party was not
grounds for deportation.
This meant the Government must

 We can make a most inexpensive cake look gorgeous and taste too good to be true by sprinkling it all over with coconut. It will add little cost, too, if we. make the inner filling a bit more elaborate than usual by adding little maple fiav- bring and mixing with the center portion of filling a few chopped date, raisins or entrants and, if they are handy, few chopped nuts. That will further carry out the tropical suggestion of the coconut.

Pleasing The Man
BY CLOE JAMESON

A whole month after the holi- days. Time for little special treat for the man of the house, isn't it?
 Dozens, if you should ask for their choice, would petition for a luscious white cake with thick, creamy inner filling of chocolate icing and another thick application of icing for the outside.
 For someone else, a layer cake with lemon pie filling for the in- ner goody, and a white outer icing thickly sprinkled with cocoanut. Ill fact, more than one plea will be made for cocoanut cake of some sort. Men never forget the early impression made upon them by this festive looking dessert, so fluffy and fairy-ilke that one cannot mistake its party implication.
 Let us humor this predilection for another reason: Aside from it's beauty and goodness, the food value it adds to a recipe, coconue is eco- nomical, whether we use the old fashioned dry shredded coconut or the newer moist-packed variety
