In outline, II not in flavor.
"The Violent Men" bears Q close
resemblance to that better grade
of recent westerns which has
dealt respectfully with good and
evil.
Good Is symbolized here by
Ford, a small cattle raiser whose
humble ranch lies in the path
OF a beef baron whose appetite
for range land is Unsuitable.
Lately out Of the Confederate
Army in which he participated In
a lot Of violence, Ford Is dis
posed to sell his land and get
peacefully out Of such perilous
country.
It is not comfortable deci-
sion to make, Of course. He was
q whopping hero during the
Civil War. and 1t is difficult to
convince his little neighbors that
he is motivated now by q dis
taste for bloodshed. not cow
ardice.
In the course Of working out
this problem in the hero's public
relations "The Violent Men" SIM
mers down to the torpor Of an
on -again-on-again real estate
deal. Also. as In one Of these,
the interest Is limited almost ex-
clusively to those irnmed ediately
involved in the exchange Of prop
erty titles.
The spectator. who knows that
Ford is not going to sell his land
and is going to shoot it out with

eventually finds his every con-
viction fully confirmed.
Ultimately the rival forces
start burning each others barns
and houses. stampeding the 9TH
er's herds, and shooting 1t out In
the adjacent mountain passes.
But the violence, like Washing
tons regularly predicted snow
falls, comes after boredom when
the whole idea has become too
firmly entrenched.
Actually, after his apparent
helplessness during the story's
interminable indecision. Director
Rudolph Mate manages the films

The script takes a turn for the

Rabbit Claim
For 100000

William II. Wilmot, manager
of the Summit Hall Turf Farm,
this week answered charges
made by Alton E. Rabbit, who is
suing him for 100000 for
alleged violation of a partner

Mr.. Rabbits suit, filed in
Montgomery County Circuit
Court last week, charges that
Mr.. Wilmot sold the farm to the
Summit Hall Turf Farm corpora
ton, of which Mr.. Wilmot is an
officer, without Mr.. Rabbits
knowledge. The charges state
that Mr.. Rabbit had a 25 per-
cent interest in the farm, but re.
ceived no compensation from the
100000 sale.
Answering the charges, Mr..
Wilmot said, "Mr. Rabbits

From Wheaton, GLenn,Ont
68-Page Citizen Study
FavOrs Paid Firemen

Philip Marcus, persistent critic
of the Kensington Volunteer
Fire Department, this week
launched a new attack on the
department and the county's
system of fire protection, in the
form of a 68-page report" on
fire protection in Montgomery
County.
In the report, Mr.. Marcus
urges creation of a County Fire
Department, directly under the
Division of Fire Protection. He
favors shifting control. of the de-
partments from volunteers to
paid men, and establishing a
central fire alarm system.
Other recommendations include
the adoption of master plan
of fire house locations and for
bidding the departments to fur.
niSh routine" other than
emergency ambulance service.
He comes out firmly for chang
ing the entire fire department
set-up, so that all fire protection
matters would be directly under
the control of the county govern
ment. At present, the 16 county
departments have high degree
Of autonomy under their sepa.
rate corporate charters.
A Is page section of the
mimeographed single-spaced re.
port discusses "the Kensington
Fire Department controversy" in
detail. In this discussion, Mr..
Marcus charges that accusations
he and other citizens made
against the department from
time to time were whitewashed,
t h I recommendations for
changes in the departments set
up were ignored, and that the
department is run by incom.
potent officers.
Mr.. Marcus also charges the
Kensington department with
wasteful use Of men and equip.
ment, citing instances in which
he says the huge Kensington-
Wheaton.Glenmont fire area was
left unprotected while trucks
were at parades and out filling a

In regard to curtailing ambu.
lance service, Mr.. Marcus feels
that this service saps funds
intended for fire protection use,
and keeps firemen busy when
they should be available for fire
duty.

system, he says that volunteer

After 80 Years
Alligators to Be Missed
By Retiring Postmaster
EDITORS note: See picture,
Page 81

Now that Joe Dawson has re-
tired, he won't have to contend
with such things as baby alli-
gators and StampSize letters any
more. His life will be more
peaceful than it has been for the
last years - but I'll miss the
post office" he says.
Mr.. Dawson, who retired last
week as postmaster at Rockville,
. has worked in the Rockville post
office since 1924, first as clerk,
then as assistant postmaster,
then as rural carrier and since
May 16, 1858, as postmaster.
The most exciting post office
experience Mr.. Dawson recalls is
the case of the lost alligator.
Last summer, a Grated alligator
arrived at the office for delivery
TO Rockville resident.
The letter carrier, unruffled
by this not-too.usual piece Of
mail, left the crate at the door
with the letters and bills.
Shortaly afterward, the adj
dressee called Mr.. Dawson TO
tell him that the crate arrived
empty. The 18-inch reptile was
found three days later, comfort
ably established in the basement
of the post office. For months
after, MIR. Dawson says, some Of
the post office employees refused
TO go near the basement.
When Mr.. Dawson took a job
as post office clerk in 1924. the
station had five office employees
and five rural carriers. City
. residents picked up their mail at
} the office.
Now, the post office has 40 EN-.
ployees, including three rural
routemen. The station now
serves about $4,000 people; in
1924, when the post office was
located where the A. and p. is
now, Rockville had 1000 resi-.
dents.
Mr.. Dawson says that a pre-.
sent.day rural carrieN can deliver
as much mail as five of his
counterparts of 30 Years ago,
This is because they can cover
more territory, with dependable
automobiles.
Back in the old daysl he says,
carriers had cars and llorse-and-
buggy rigs the horsepower
