Being Too Early
| Attire Costs
| Motorists $40

Seven motorists picked the wrong
time of day to drive to a fire yes
terday afternoon and ended up
minus $40 each.
The trouble was they got there
too soon and caused such a traffic
snarl that fire engines answering
the second of two alarms sounded
for the blaze couldn't get within
proper range. Motorcycle Policeman
Ralph Burton made the arrests and
charged them all with driving too
close to fire apparatus.
The fire, which caused damage
estimated at $1,000, demolished a

Garner Backed for President
By Majority Leader Royburn;
Party Youth Halls New Deal
Vice President
Called Liberal
Democrat

By the Associated Press.
Representative Sam Rayburn OF
Texas, who as majority floor leader
has piloted New Deal legislation
through the House for three years,
yesterday Endorsed Vice President
Garner for the 1910 Democratic
presidential nomination.
Representative Rayburn announc-
ed support of his fellow Texan in a
statement issued in response to an
inquiry from the Fort Worth (Texo
ar-Telegram as to his stand.
II am for that outstanding Texan
and liberal Democrat, John N. Gar
ner, for the presidential nomination
in 1910. believing that if elected he
will make the country a great Presi-
dent" the statement said.
The Vice Presidents friends here
were obviously elated at Mr.. Ray
burns public stand, not only because
be has been an ardent supporter of
President Roosevelt's policies, but
because he is listed as an author
of such important New Deal legis-
lation as the Securities Act, the
Stock Exchange Act and the Utili-
ties Holding Company Law.
Backed BY Others.
With the Rayburn announcement
they said the Vice President had the
backing of the two Texas Senators,
Sheppard and Connally, and of II
other members of the States dele
cation in Congress.
They also said Representative
Rayburn's definition of Mr. Garner
as an outstanding liberal Demo-
crat' was pleasing, in the light of
President Roosevelt's recent state
ment that the party must choose a
liberal in 1910, or he would not &C
lively support the candidate
Mr.. Rayburn's statement, too, was
the first public pronouncement re-
garding 1910 from any of the big
four" of Congress-Speaker Bank
head, Majority Leader Rayburn,
Vice President Garner and Senate
Majority Leader Barkley-who con-
fer weekly with the President dur
ing the legislative sessions.
Garner Himself Is Silent.
Although Mr.. Garners friends
have put him definitely in the presi-
dental race, he himself has said
nothing. Speaker Bankhead and
Senator Barkley both have been
mentioned as possible nominees and
Representative Rayburn's name has
been brought into discussions of
possible vice presidential candidates.
Mr.. Garner's friends, pointing to
the open support given him by II of
the 81 Texas House members, in
cluding Mr.. Rayburn, said the Vice
President was assured of the back
ing of Texas delegation of 46 to the
1910 Democratic Convention
They said some House members
from Texas had not been reached
by the newspapers query.

50 Nearby Municipal
Officials Affected
By Hatch Act
Montgomery Storts
Move to Amend Law
At Next Session
By ]. A. FOX.

Approximately so municipal Off
cials in more than two dozen COM
munities in nearby Maryland and
Virginia will be ineligible for re-
election because of the Hatch Act.
This was disclosed last night by
check-up after the Civil Service
Commission announced the new
legislation banning political activity
by Federal employees would necessi-
tate withdrawal of the privilege that
civil service workers on duty in this
area have enjoyed for q years Of
holding Office in their local govern
ments.
Concurrently, a move was launch
ed in Montgomery County, where
many Government workers occupy
Office. to seek amendment of the
Hatch Act at the next session of
Congress to retain this right.
The commission. while announc-
ing that Federal workers will in the
future be prohibited from becom-
ing candidates for municipal Office"
left undisturbed temporarily those
in positions. Their status is to be
determined later, it was explained,
probably after conference with the
Justice Department.
Hold Positions in % Areas.
The check showed that there are
% communities where employees hold
official positions, or, by virtue of
civil service regulations, have been
eligible for election. In some of
these-notably Arlington County
and Herndon and Vienna, Va
none of the incumbents at present
is employed by the Government.
The possibility also was seen last
night that some of the offlceholders
might not come under the Civil
Service Commission ban because
they are in non-civil service posi-
tions. If this condition actually
exists, however, the number of such
cases probably would be negligible.
Further, any exception of this sort
is expected to be wiped out, for it
Is considered certain in view of the
precedent set by the Civil Service
Commission that the Justice De-
partment will rule that the Office
holding ban is applicable also to
non-Civil service employees.
The Civil Service Commission rul-
ing came unexpectedly although
the matter had been under con-
Sideration ever since the Hatch Act
was signed by the President.
Issued in Taft Regime.
The Executive order under which
employees have been allowed t6 take
active part in the management of
their communities was issued first
in the Taft administration, the
theory being that where employees
formed a large part of the popula-
ton their domestic interest" made
sucn course desirable. President
Wilson extended the scope of the
order to permit employees at mill
tary establishments likewise to hold
civil ofi1ce-a privilege that also
goes under the new ruling.
In applying the restriction, the
commission said it flowed from that
section of the Hatch Act, which
provides that no officer or en-
ploye in the executive branch Of
the Federal Government, or any
agency or department thereof, shall

Piftman Denounces
Ickes as Dictator
Of Lands Policy
Neyodun to Reintroduce
Vetoed Bill to Return
Area to State
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Pittman, Democrat, of
Nevada last night attacked the ad-
ministration's public lands policy,
asserting lands in the Western
States "are rapidly becoming a
barony of the dictator at the head
of the Department of Interior"
Without mentioning by name Sec
retary of the Interior Ickes, Senator
Pittman made it plain he blamed
him for President Roosevelt's veto
Of a bill to turn over to the State
of Nevada about II square miles of
Government land near Boulder
Dam.
Urges West to Stand Together.
Senator Pittman, who usually has
supported the Presidents legisla-
tive program, said he thought the
Western States ought to stand to-
gether for their common interest"
in resisting taking of land out of
the channels of State taxation.
The Western States have a very
small vote, but elections have been
carried by smaller majority than
the combined votes of those States" :"
he said.
IF that be a threat" he added,
make the most of it."
Asserting he would re-introduce
the bill at the next session of Con-
gress, the Nevada Senator added
that maybe the President will have
time to obtain correct facts with
regard to some of these questions
by then
eff he does not" Senator Pitt
man continued, then probably Con-
gress will assert its jurisdiction and
carry the bill over the President S
veto. If the next Congress does not
see fit to do it, possibly the Con-
gress of 194l will do it."
The Pittman bill would have per-
mitted Nevada to establish a State
park in the area, thus controlling
the site at which water for Nevada
will be pumped from the Boulder
Dam reservoir.
In vetoing it, the President said
the tract was "of national interest
and value, both for the protection
from pollution of the waters i'm
pounded in Lake Mead and for the
enhancement of the recreational
and scenic values created through
the building of Boulder DAM"
Land Denied to Stock.
Senator Pittman said the Presi-
dent by proclamation had just sci
aside about 1000 square miles OF
public lands in Nevada for a game
sanctuary without the approva,
of the State or action by Con.
gress. He said this land, in 9
mountainous area, thus had beer
denied as range for sheep ano
cattle.
THE precedent the President
has established by his veto is dan.
gerous to the West-the precedent
of withdrawing public lands with
in State from economic use with.
out consent of the State or ever
against the protest of a State" hi
added.
He said he would introduce at the
next session bill providing tina
no more public lands could bl
withdrawn for any purpose with
out the consent of Congress.

Hits Mud
In Tow; Next Level
Lift Plans Pushed
Ruised 30 Feet Already,
Submarine Strikes
Unchorted Hump
BY the Associated Press.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H.. Aug. 12.-
The submarine Squalus with its
cargo of 26 dead was held fast to-
night by an uncharted mud hump
it struck while being toWed shore
ward after the United States Navy
had raised the vessel 80 feet from
a 240-feet depth in an apic engi-
neering feat.
President Roosevelt - one-time
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
who boarded the cruiser Tuscaloosa
at New York today for a vacation
trip, meanwhile arranged to visit
the salvage scene tomorrow to in
spect the operations.
"Squalus cannot be moved appre-
ciably from position of first ground
ing" Rear Admiral Cyrus w. Cole.
in charge of the operations, radioed
from the salvage ship Falcon.
He added, however, that pontoons
attached to the submarine would be
reset tomorrow for the second of
three scheduled fittings.
Naval officers ashore said the mud
pinnacle had halted the shoreWard
Journey from 300 to 500 yards short
of the first haul's destination. They
expressed informal opinions that the
unexpected grounding would simply
change the scene of the second lift
without materially interfering with
the task of returning the Squalus
to the Portsmouth Navy Yard.
Tide Fails to Clear Hump.
The submarine struck the hump
at 2:13 pm. Salvage workers
waited for the tide to rise to pro-
ceed with the tow, but when high
tide failed to provide the needed
lift, it was decided to suspend opera
tions until tomorrow.
Ten pontoons were used in NOV
ing the Squalus from the place at
which it sank during diving tests
50 days ago.
Hatches of the vessel will not be
opened until it is returned to the
Navy Yard.
Navy officers kept watch on a
freshening sea in apprehension lest
the weather delay another lifting
and towing operation-probably
early next week-that would carry
the Squalus into the sheltering lee
of the now nearby Isle of Shoals.
Once there, the job virtually would
be done.
| Falcons Sailors Cheer.
A spontaneous cheer broke from
the half-naked sailors lining the
rail of the salvage ship Falcon
when the three big pontoons above
the bow of the Squalus broke wa
ter few minutes before II am.
today in a cascade of sparkling
foam.
Almost month ago-on July 13-
the same salvage crew apparently
had gained the same victory when
a sudden uncontrolled surge of
buoyancy in the only partially
flooded bow of the Squalus tore the
craft from its lifting chains. The
bow shot out of the water, actively
endangering the salvage fleet, before
the vessels entire 290-foot length
settled back to the bottom where 1t

Dies Probe 10 Doom
Communism in J.. j.,
Thomas Asserts
Committee Hearings
Will Reopen Here
This Week
BACKGROUND

6ACh hGhOOND-
During 18th Congress, Repre-
sentative Dies, Democrat, OF
TeIdS DdS named to head CON-
mittee delegated to inquire into
subUersiue activities in this coun-
try. Testimony Das taken con-
cerning activities of Fascists and
Communists and committee later
dreD q rebuke from, President
Roosevelt due to its methods OF
procedure. The House, ho1UeUer,
appropriated funds and directed
continuance of the inquiry.
By the Associated Press.
Representative Thomas, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey predicted yes
terday that current investigators of
the House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities would kill off the
Communist party in this country u
"Well disclose the real big shots
of the Communist party this time" :"
said Mr.. Thomas, committee men,
ber. The groups hearings will re-
open here this week.
Representative Thomas declined
to elaborate on his statement, but
another committee source asserted
that evidence had been gathered of
i" a definite financial tie-up" between
the Soviet Russian government and
the Communist party in the United
States.
This informant added that COM
mittee investigators had uncovered
much more startling" information
within the last few months than
any which has yet been made pub
lie.
Chairman Dies obtained an ap-
preparation of 100000 during the
last Congress to add to SOS, 900 given
him earlier for the inquiry.
Since appropriation of this new
money, the committee has opened
branch Offices at San Francisco and
Los Angeles and one committee
member asserted wealth of ma
terial" on activities of the Commu-
mist party on the West Coast re-
Gently had been found.
He added that some information
obtained by committee investigators
had been turned over to the Labor
Departments immigration Service
and to the Federal Bureau Of Inves-
tigation.
Certain of this material was said
to concern an important" Nazi
spy case.
The committees inquiry in recent
months has been directed by Rhea
Whitley, former F. B. I. agent and
now the committees attorney.
Tentative committee plans call for
reopening the hearings here Wednes-
day for about 80 days, after which
the committee probably will 60 to
the Pacific Coast, Chicago and Pitts
burgh for further hearings. Other
cities may be included in the COM
mitteeS tour.
The committee has held no hear
ings since June, when Maj. Gen
c Gorge van Horn Moseley, U. 8. A.,
retired, was questioned.
