President Hoover yesterday
reviewed warships and fighting
airplanes, in an interesting
"ainiic battle" off the Vir

It was a pleasant spectacle,
and President Hoover, com
mander in chief of the army
and navy, doubtless found time
to remember that one-half the
air force of France could de
stroy everything that he saw
on the water and in the air, and
do it in less than half an hour.

Mr. Coolidge said that it is
Hie people's duty "to back the

depends on this support.
On the other hand, it is the
public's duty to be frank witli
the President, and let ' him

It is unjust to a President
not to let him know the

City Council Favors Refer
ring Matter to Public Ser
vice Commission Com
mittee Will Outline Plan
S. P. in Opposition.
When considering the largely
Binned petition, recently presented
by properly owners and business
encerna at Highlit street, and of
business men generally In the husl-
ness district, that the city council
take steps at once to open that
thoroughfare over the Southern Pa
cific railroad traits; the city coun
cil at its meeting lout night de
cided to begin such action as aonn
as possible, and referred the math-
l of action to Its streets and
roads committee with the under
standing that if found necessary
that committee prepare a plan, to
ask the public service commission,
to order the improvement in.
This decision followed the state
ment of Mayor A. W. Pipes that
he had already been contacted by
representatives of the railroad and
told that the S. P. would fight any
effort to open Eighth street across
Its tracks. The mayor, who took
the lead in the discussion, stressed
that the contemplated opening of
the dead-end Btreet in the business
district was one of the most' im
portant and; worthy projects . for
the welfare and the development
of the city; related that.it took
years of negotiations and quibbling
with the railroad before the lutter
granted the opening of Sixth streot
across ita tracks, and Bald that the
city officials did not want a repe
tition of that fight and long delay
In the Eighth street opening, '
Up to Commission -
Therefore, as the council seemed
to feel the same way, Mayor Pipes
suggested, that the proposed street
opening be' put up to the 'pitullc
service commission ' tor a hearing.
In hopes that the commission; would
order the Improvement, as a public
necessity. i 1 ' . ' .
The councilman agreed, and the
mayor's proposal was further aug
mented to Incorporate that the rec
ommendations of Jacob Crane, the
city planning commission expert,
for the opening of important dead
end streets Including Eighth,
Fourth and Clark streets be Includ
ed In the public service hearing.
"We might not get all we asked
from the commission at such a
hearing but would get something
at least," the mayor said.
Inasmuch as all the councllmen
E. M. Wilson, R. B. Hammond,, J.
O.Orey. J. C. Collins, P. M. Kershaw,
C. A. Wing, P. M. Kershaw, Eu
gene Thorndyke regard the open.
Ing of Eighth street as of para
mount Importance to the city's wel
fare and were unanimous about the
matter of procedure to bring It
about, it appears certain that un
less the Southern Pacific recedes
from Its reported attitude of oppo
sition the city officials will en
deavor to bring about the improve
ment through a public service com
mission hearing.
The streets and roads commit
tee, to which the matter of a plan
of procedure was referred last
night, will probably make a report
at the next meeting of the council.

petition and others Interested was
present at last night's meeting.
