Radio Equipment Transfer
Blocked by Council Action

by Solicitor Holtsberry, was
brought on for first reading,
Councilman Stare moved to
suspend the rules and place the
ordinance on it's way for final
adoption. The members of coun-
Gil concuring, it was then moved
by Stare and seconded by Lentz
that the emergency clause be
adopted, and the ordinance read
the second and third times. Fol
lowing the reading of the ordin-
ance, it was moved by Stare and
seconded by Lentz, that the or
dinance be adopted.
President of Council Clint
Conner ordered the clerk of coun-
Gil to call the roll. The ordinance
was passed by a vote of 5 to 3,
Councilmen Ellis, Premier and
Walker voting "No", and Coun-
cilmen Stare, Lentz, Lockwood,
Neighbor and Faust voting for
its adoption.
Councilman Stare, in his re-
orks before the final vote on
adoption of the ordinance was
taken, said, eff this ordinance is
not passed and the present set
up at police headquarters chang
ed in regard to moving of the
radio equipment, it would jeop-
ardize the safety of 81 900 people
in Newark"
He qualified his statement by
saying, eff the radio room was
left in the control of one man it
would ruin the efficiency of po-
lice reports police and fire
calls would be apt to get mixed,
etc it might mean the loss
of property and life"
Stare further said that the ra-
dio control room was installed
upstairs, and a great deal of
money spent in making the pres
ent arrangements, upon the ad
vice of competent engineers and
that he saw no good reason to
tear it up now.

Mayor Again Vetoes
Sewage Disposal Ordinance

The new sewage disposal or
dinance which was rammed
through at the last regular meet
ing of the city council, with rap
i'd fire precision, received jolt
Wednesday afternoon, when Ma
yOr Glenn Wright announced
that he had placed the ''vetO
sign" for the second time on a
sewage disposal ordinance.
Mayor Wright again calls for
the matter to be placed on the
ballot at the November election.
He also states:
The ordinance is surrounded
by suspicious circumstances
it seems logical that a more in
telligent selection of such en-
gineer could be made if there
were no restrictions autOmati-
cally limiting the eligible list to
just one person."
The Mayors communication to
the members of the city council
vetoing the ordinance is as fol-
lows:

The delegates attending from

stove mounters local; Forest

placed on the selection of an en-
gineer by this council. The or
dinance as amended is certainly
surrounded by suspicious cir
cumstances. 1t seems logical
that a more intelligent selection
of such engineer could be made
if there were no restrictions au-
tomatically limiting the eligible
list to just one person.
(2) | believe that a project of
such magnitude as the building
of a sewage disposal system,
calling for the expenditure of
hundreds of thousands of dollars
should be approved by a vote Of
the people. | suggest that this
matter be placed on the ballot
at the November election for a
vote of the citizens of Newark.
l still feel that the people of
this city are vitally interested
in the expenditure of public
moneys.

When A Union Cleans House

Chicago has produced many recent ex- amples Of what happens when gangsters and mediums muscle into the union la Dor field. Intimidation and swindling of members, intimidation and blackmailing of employees has been the usual result. And ell too often, perfectly straightfor- ward unions and perfectly honest union members have had to bear the brunt of indiscriminate attacks on these abuses. The story of the cleanup of the Coal Teamster and Hikers' Union in Chicago shows what can be done when union members, union officers, and public auth critics cooperate.
 This is e very old union. In 1888, when repeal took away from Chicago gangsters the easy money of prohibition days, "Three- Fingered Jack" White and Red" Barker, two notorious liquor gangsters, seized control of the Coal Teamsters union with blackjack and bullet. They footed its treasury, shook down business men, terrorized members who objected to their methods.
 In 1888 a conference of responsible A. '. of L., and Chicabo Federation of Labor officials was held with the mayor and states attorney After an initial bad start, by early 1885 a dictator" was in- stalled. Leslie c. Goudie, president of a teamsters joint council brotherhood, found sorry situation, men were paying the union $l day for the privilege of working, yet the union was broke and owed $25,0o0.
 Ooudie took hold He cut dues to req sonable point, had the books audited, be- gan a business-like administration. For three years he had to ride in bullet proof auto and accept constant protection from the states attorneys police. But by 1887 he was able to turn the union over to its own officers, all veteran members Today the union Is out of debt, owns It's own headquarters building, has $60, 900 in the bank, pays sick and death benefits.
 It took courage. It took cool personal bravery on part of Goudie. It took moral stamina on the part of higher union of- flcials. But 1t was done. The men who make their living in the coal business are better off. The employers are better off. The whole labor movement is better off, cleaner. Blanket condemnation of or ganized labor because of racket-infested situations like this one is unjust, pre- cisely as blanket condemnation of "busi-l ness" Is unjust simply because some busi- nesses are improperly run. The remedy for both Is housekeeping of the kind these Chicago teamsters have shown to be prac- ticable.

you want to go to "uncle Joe" under the sign of the Three Balls to borrow two dollars on an old watch or an abaEdoned banjo, you first affix the mystic thumb print Co a card. That's police regulation. They'll be along later to see if perhaps the telltale smudge connects you with crime.
 The Indiana state supreme court, says the International Association of Police Chiefs, has upheld this as no invasion of privacy, but 6 legltimte means of crime detection. Thus, little by little, the time approaches when we shall literally thumb our way from cradle to coffin, like hitch hikers whose passport is the ever-extended thumb.

American Olympics

Although there won't be any Olympic games this year, Finland finally having given up all efforts to stage them, there Is nothing to prevent American athletes from holding their own Olympics. We read that the American Olympic Commit tee is ready to go ahead with the task of selecting team from this nations crop of current athletic stars just as If they were to compete with the cream of the worlds talent. That's not a bad idea; 1t should be given nationwide support.
 But why not expand on this? Why not an American Olympics limited to the nations of North, Central and South America that are not directly affected by the current wars? Canada would prob. ably be the only region unable to par ticipate in these games. There would be nothing official about the games solar as the Oilympics and past records are con- cerned, but at least the boys and girls who have been working the past three or four years towards the 1940 contests would get chance to compete against each other.
 In another four years many of the ath- letes now in their prime will be "has- beens". It's not quite fair to them to allow war to push them into the back ground in this fashion. We think an American team ought to be SC selected just as if nothing were happening abroad It might not hurt for the American Olym- pic Committee to query other American nations on their attitude towards vest ern hemisphere contest. The consolation for the athletes in not going to Finland to represent the U. s. A. will lie in the fact that they made the team anyway.

Democratic women meeting in Water bury last Saturday were confident of con- siderable party success in Connecticut this fall. They visualized not merely suc- cessful tickets in local and state con- tests, but in the congressional as we'll At that rate 1t would mean that the Democratic Party would carry the state completely, for unless 1t did that so sweeping a victory could not be attained. It's good to see the women of the party as assured so early in the campaign. There's no reason why the party can't return to It's winning ways and most Democrats hope for just that. But there's work to be done and no one knows that better than the men and women who are in close touch with the organizations that control the various branches of the party. To win this fall Democrats must not merely present ticket pleasing to 8 majority of voters, but put lot of new voters into the Democratic column before next November.

Even Favorites Lose

The horse that nobody wanted, to bet on, and whose owner didn't think enough of to go down to Kentucky to see him run, proved to be the best of the eight horses that paraded to the post Saturday after noon in the annual running of the Derby. 0allahadion was so far down in the wagering even up to post-time that odds were 36 to on the horse. That's long shot in any race and certainly so in the Derby. But 0allahadion was Q winner with no threat to mention from the odds- on-favorite, Birnelech.
 Had Bimelech been the wonder horse that all the fanciers have been setting him up to be of recent weeks he certainly ought to have pushed his nose across the finish line first Saturday night. The time for the running of the race was slow. And no one can gainsay the fact that there wasn't plenty of opposition for the favorite from contending horses. He was pushed all the way and If there were those great qualities in him which make another Man of War, Seabiscuit, War Admiral, then Saturday was the time for them to come to the fore.
 Perhaps Bimelech will still display on the racing ovals those traits which horse men say distinguish him from ordinary platers We hope SO, for nothing is worse than fine thoroughbred horse who starts down the ladder after apparently being headed for immortality on the turf. This summer will prove if Bimelech can come back and If Gallahadion can live up to the laurels that are freshly his.

Downie Brothers Circus, one of the smaller but more active units that usually got around to this section of the country Is no more. The show was auctioned off last week down in Houston, Texas, and according to all reports 1t didn't bring anything near its true valuation. Fine animals and all sorts of paraphernalia had to be sold piece-Yneal because no one wanted to bid in the entire show. Six elephants could only bring bid of $3, 300, while two camels went for $320. Downie brothers was supposed to be the biggest of the all-truck shows operating, but like most of these shows which go deep into the roots of circus pioneering in the states, it passed out abjectly. So have most of them.

YOUTH AND BEAUTY

They wondered If she came from Spain, With naughty grandees in :ler train, To see the isle wher fairies play On hill and dale till break of day. She walked like one who wore a crown, And rode on ponies white and brown, And dined of dishes made of gold. Tn castles built by kings of old. lonely youth made bold to say, When the dark beauty passed his way, I'd like to know your face and name, And the grand house from where you came" The maid replied. much to his sorrow, My name. good sir.

Folks Were Real in Pioneer Caravans

Almost @ century ago the Amer ican frontier pushed westward. His- tory books give us Q glimpse of this great exodus, of wagon trains push-
 ing west, of heroic people battling plains, deserts, mountains and sav- ages to reach Q promised land. But 1t remains for John Weld to tell the inside story of one of these great caravans, c city in motion, in his new novel, Don't You Cry for Me" (Scribners: $2.75). Weld traces the fortunes of the individ- uals who make up wagon train, follows their plodding oxen from Independence. Mo, to Sutter's Fort. And if Weld's pace seems slow. 1t is because 1t matches the 20-mile Q day pace of the train.
 Weld gathers his characters at Independence. The rich and poor, the farmer and the city worker, the gentleman and the slave, fighting men and towards, wives and sweet. hearts-all following the rainbow. There are Captain Dan Johnson, the leader, Nell and George Lansing, Asa Harper. Dr. Carruthers, the hapless Withers family, and some 800 others. banding together, shar- ing happiness and hardship, success and defeat in their long tedious trek.
 This is no singel story, but story of a hundred stories, any one of which would provide a wealth of material for a single novel. Weld might have confined his novel to the illicit love affair of Asa Harper and Nell Lansing; he might have made Johnson his principal hero, restric- ting himself to the troubles and sacrifices 8 wagon train leader faced. Or he might have written his story around pr. Carruthers. the hard drinking physician who tried to ease physical and mental pain during the long journey.
 But Weld tells the story of an entire wagon train. The personal
 history of young shannon, the plan-
 tation owners son who ran away
 with a quadroon. is no more impor- tant than that of the Withers fam-
 fly. and their tragic deaths in Q
 prairie fire.
 The novel finds It's foundation in
 fact. for Weld has fictionized the adventures of the Donner party, Five hundred started from Inde- pendence. Less than 50 reached Gut-
 ter's. The others were left beside the
 trail. martyrs to the building of a
