Further objection to "the price, of sewer assessments developed from residents of Fern and Robbins streets and Greenwood avenue at the meeting last night of the board of works. This was after the board, reading a ruling from Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor which was to the effect that the board could not defer laying of sewer assessments, ordered such levies imposed against property owners on ten streets.
 Years Moratorium
 Agitation for further time before the board laid the assessments was evident, its purpose to delay the i'm position until bill in Hartford had the consideration of the legislature. The bill, providing for a years nor atorium on payments and reduction of the $2.50 front foot assessment in cases where WPA labor is resumed to have cut costs, Is due for hearing tomorrow before the cities and boroughs committee.
 East End residents gathered again, as well as those property owners from the streets listed in the hear ing notice, to protest levying of the assessments until the bill has had legislative consideration. Members of the board told the gathering that if the bill is properly drawn that it's provisions would be retroactive in the sense that assessments laid now, with the 120-day grace period to pay, would come under the bills stipulations. thus, the years mora torium would go into effect.
 "That Price"
 Out of the score or more of pro- perty owners opposing the assess ments on Greenwood avenue and Fern street, majority apparently favored having the sewers but mot at that price" A few of the owners present went on record as favoring the assessments and a majority of the property owners on the streets affected did not appear, hence giving tacit approval to the con- struction and the assessment. No Robbins street property owners ap- peared to oppose the assessments.
 Comment of engineering officials was that no hearing is required by charter before the city orders laying of sewers, thus disseminating the plea of James McGrath, of 92 Hins-

Police details for Friday night will see 34 supernumerary pa- trolmen taking over beats of regular policemen planning to attend the biennial policemen's ball at the state armory. Spe- cial orders were given them last night by Superintendent Will liam J. Roach and Deputy Dan- iel J. Carson.
 All of the men have had street duty and are covering the beats with the regular officers tonight and tomorrow night in order to become familiar with them.
 Not all of the regulars will attend the ball, however, and some will remain on their beats to work with the supernum- eraries Friday night, Superin- tendent Roach remarked.

THERE OUGHT TO BE
A LAW

IL was no very cheerful commentary
on human nature that Highway Patrol
man Paul Brown, at the scene of the ac-
cldent on Mountain Springs grade. could
not get help from any passing motorists
Tor two injured women who had tumbled
with their car into the canyon.
One of the women had a broken leg.
The other was less critically hurt but
nevertheless could not move herself from
the canyon floor to the highway. The
hlghway patrolman needed help to save
the women from the torture of their in
Jurles. tie needed stretcher to get them
up to the highway He tagged down sew
eral motorists.
One complained that it was too cold
down there in the canyon, and drove
grumplly on his way, insulted that he
should have been asked to help Others
were in too great hurry. Finally one.
compromised. He would telephone the
sheriff's office in Ell Centre and notify
them that help was needed. Ut is under
standable why he refused to give his
name when he did put through the tele-
phone call.)
We should be completely ready to par
don the officer if he had taken one of
the selfish, unheeding motorists by the
scruff of the neck and tossed him bodily
down into the canyon. Of course, he
could not do that Worse still, from a
practical standpoint, he could not even
commander the services of the reluc-
tant ones. He could only stand idly by
and swear-which he probably did-at
the inhumanity of man.
The incident, isolated though it is, dem
onstrates the need for a law by which
peace officers can call upon citizens
and enforce their request-for help in a
time of emergency when the lack of help
may bring death to another person
Had either of those women died in the
canyon, it would have been the fault of
the motorists who refused help. Ger
tainly the officer should be allowed to
demand help, and do it with authority, in
such cases.
Until human nature improves consider
ably, such laws will be necessary.

THAT'S WHERE
The TROUBLE LIES

The National Labor Relations Board,
defending its procedure before house
committee investigating its pro-CIO atti-
tude, points pridefully to its record of
supreme court decisions, in which a great
majority of its rulings and orders have
been upheld.
And that is just the trouble.
The labor board can do practically
anything it wants to do-and do it legal
ly. The Wagner Labor Relations Act.
under which it operates, gives it such
widespread powers that the board must
be guilty of graft, fraud or bribery be-
fore it loses case in court. The court
cannot go behind the law 1t cannot even
go behind the evidence And the evidence
is that gathered by the labor board, for
labor board use.
AS Imperial county we'll knows, since
one hearing here, the board refuses to
take evidence which would change its
pre-conceived ideas Hence the evidence
that goes before court, when a case is
filed, is evidence preponderantly in favor
OF the labor board findings.
1t is not SO much the labor board itself
that needs changing, although change
there might do lot of good. 1t is the
Wagner act itself, which gives the board
powers no such agency should ever have.
Correct the Wagner act, and the labor
board will hSve to correct itself.

WASHINGTON.-W William Dud.
ley Pelley, head of the Silver Shirts
will be the next target of the Die,
committee-if the committee car
only find him.
Just before leaving for Texas tc
take an enforced rest necessitateo
by oyerwork, Chairman Martin
Dies appointed a special sub-com
mittee consisting of CongreSsmen
Jerry VoorhiS. Joseph Casey and j
Jarnell Thomas to quiz Pelley about
various qualifications of his career
as Silver Shirts leader
The subcommittee job may be
a tough one however, for at the
moment no one knows where Pelley
can be found.
The Dies committee has been try
ing for weeks to locate him.
GET FALSE TIPS
ON PELLEY
Twice its own investigators have
flown to AShVlle. N. c.. to serve
him with a subpoena. only to learn
that the tips which said he was
there were false. The U. s. marshall
there has made a number of at
temptS to serve a Dies subpoena on
him. without success.
Since the committee has but
three Investigators on its staff, and
will go out Of existence at the end
of the year Mr.. VoorhiS and his
colleagues have been given a tough
job.
In the end. whether Pelley ap-
pears before the committee probably
will depend on the Department of
Justice Both Dies and Voorhis point
out that the committee is not equip
ped to dig up missing persons. and
a formal request for help will be
made of the Justice Department.
If Justice puts some G-men on
the trail, Pelley may be found. If
not, there isn't much the Dies
committee can do.
Relations between the Justice
and the committee
have not been exactly cordial, to
date.
Last year the committee brought
out evidence severly critical of At
tornev General Murphy's conduct
as governor of Michigan during the
auto strikes. More recently, there
has been some disagreement about
Imperial Valley press., 1939-12-14

whether membership in the Com
muniSt party proves a person is an
agent of foreign power, with Mr..
Dies taking the affirmative and MIR.
Murphy the negative.
The present situation may be
helped in that the request for aid
will be made by Mr.. Voorhis, who
is on much more friendly terms
with the administration than is
the chairman of the committee.
In any case, both Dies and Voor-
his are anxious to have Pelley ap-
pear for questioning.
WOULD QUIZ LEADER
ON SILVER SHIRT FUNDS
The committee has piled a good
deal of material about Pelley.
For one thing. it wants to quiz
him about the disposition of funds
he collected as head of the Silver
Shirts. 1t also wants to examine
him about the source of material
published in his magazine, with an
eye to determining whether anv of
it (as the committee suspects came
from the official propaganda agen-
cies in Germany.
Lastly, ii wants to make full
study of the oganization, extent
and affiliations of the Silver Shirts.
Both Pelley and the Silver Shirts
have been mentioned at various
times in testimony before the Dies
committee, although so far no def
mite tie linking his group to any
of the leading Fascist-type organi-
cations in America has turned up.
Members of the committee say
they have enough material and
leads from work done
thus far, so their questioning of
Pelley-when and if he is produced
will not be in the nature of a
blind fishing expedition.

Inc more he thought about the
idea, the better it seemed. But he
resolved not to go off half-cocked.
He would look ahead, and plan. He
decided to open a shop for articles
to induce sleep and he would not
include medicines or sleep seda-
tives.
His name was Norman Dine.
Here's the way he put over his
idea, an example of what thought
and careful planning will accom-
plish. First he resolved to learn
all about sleep that he could, and
so he came to New York and took
special courses dealing with pSy-
chology and physiology at Colum-
bia University.
His next step was to call on
manufacturers of beds and bedside
lights, and ask them to cooperate
with him in opening a sleep
shop where nothing would be
sold which did not have TO do with
sleep The manufacturers stared at
him: Must be crazy. Their answer
was No
He still believed his idea sound
and that he had an appeal TO hu-
man need that was deep and fund
amental. He then went to the big
gets department store in New York
and asked them to allot him space
for sleep shop" Again the an
swer was NO"
He went to another department
store. Same result. In fact eleven
department stores turned down his
idea.
He peddled his idea for two
years, then speciality store spoke
the encouraging word of three
letters. He opened his shop seven
years ago this week with IS items
in it.
I visited it the other day, and
how many Sleep-wooers do YOU
think he now has? Six hundred!
One is called a lulllaphone, an
electrical contraption which huns
