By PAUL MALLON
I WASHINGTON, D. C, July 7.
Henry Fords surrender to the NRA
was &nnounoed here a tew days ago.
but It stood up for only one edition of
the after noou
newspapera. Then
Ford heard about
.
The announce
ment waa valid,
all right. It came
officially from
NBA headquar
tera in fact,
from no less an
authority than
General Johnson,
himself. Appar
ently the only
thing wron
sttaiutu
Paul Mallon
with it waa that Ford had not yet
been consulted.
Here la what happened:
, A Ford dealer here has been for a
long time the Innocent bystander who
waa continually getting shot In the
row between Ford and Johnson. Thla
. dealer has been barred from war
department and other contracta be
cause of Ford's failure to sign up
with the NRA. It doea not mean much
to Ford's volume of business, but It
means a lot to the dealer.
The war department sympathized
with the dealer's position, and -a-eently
Joined with him In an effort
to straighten thlnga out. .
Assistant War Secretary Woodrlng
and other war officials consulted with
the dealer. They worked out an Idea
for a compromise.
Thla compromise waa to be In the
form of a letter from Ford to the
dealer stating that he (Ford) had
complied with NRA rules and would
continue to do so. The letter was
drawn up on the stationery of the
dealer and addressed to him with the
signature blank. It was to be sent
out to Ford later for algnature.
It seemed to be a perfectly good
Idea, because Ford has complied with
most NRA requirements, and ex
ceeded them In some Instances.
Of courae, Woodrlng had to get
Johnson's approval on the letter be
fore It could be sent to Ford. The war
department samaratln took the letter
over to the general, jonnson sug
gescd a, few changes In wording, but
generally approved. -He agreed that
the letter would constitute compli
ance with the NRA, permitting the
Ford dealer to bid on government
purchases.
Until then everything was perfect.
After that nothing was.
Johnson almost immediately called
In news men and Informed them that
the NHA's foremost antagonist had
"surrendered." That would have been
a bad word to use even If the deal
had gone through, but you oan Imag
ine how It struck Mr. Ford when he
read It In the papers. Surrender, eh?
Woodrlng wept. He told his as
sociates: "Johnson has been so Indis
creet I am afraid the whole thing is
spoiled."
Johnson's office explained that the
general thought the letter from Ford
was real, that It already had been
signed by Ford.
It waa too late then for explana
tions to do any good. ,
The state department went to un
a usual lengths on the Inside to keep
I the Japanese from getting excited
about the expedition of army and
nary bombera to Alaska.
The Japanese know very well what
we are sending the bombera up there
for, but, in diplomacy. It la considered
best to tell a polite lie, even when
everyone knows you are lying.
Af. rirjtt it was nlanned to announce
the excursion as a long-distance test
flight. Tnai waa rainer iceDie, so
master diplomatic minds decided to
bolster It by railing the trip a good
will flight to Canada. That had some
foundation, becau.e the planes are
to atop at one or two points In Can
ada. The Canadians, however, did not
much for It. Just aa the an
nouncement was being mimeographed
In the war department worn camo
from Canadians to leave them out of
It. The good-will angle, therefore, was
stricken out.
There Is really no sensible reason
why we could not shout from the
housetops what the bombera are up
to. They are going to photograph
Alaska from the air with a view to
determining the best available spots
for defense works In case of trouble
In the Pacific.
No one can Justly consider thai of
fensive or threatening.

(By the Associated Press)
Watchful waiting replaced violence,
along Pacific coast waterfronts and
at other strike centers Saturday aa a
week marred by rioting and severe
casualties drew to a close.
The strike situation:
San Francisco: Union labor's fight
in behalf of striking longshoremen
and maritime workers was taken over
by a "strike strategy committee"
which will consider the advisability
of a general strike of 120 unions.
The waterfront, scene of clashes In
which three were killed and many
wounded, remained calm under the
surveillance of national guardsmen.
Oakland, Cal.: Union leaders met;
to consider future policies affecting
the waterfront strike. The condition
of Clayton Miner, steamship com
pany employe shot Friday, remained
serious,
Portland, Ore.: A general walkout
In sympathy with striking maritime
workers was considered by another
committee of union chiefs.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 7. (AP)
The strike situation Jumped from
one crisis to another in San Fran
cisco today despite the outward calm
on the waterfront enforced by long
lines of machine guns and bayonet
rifles In the hands of 2000 national
guardsmen.
Still more machine guns made
their appearance this time in the
hands of police who turned up sud
denly at various downtown buildings
outside the national guard sector and
took up guard positions. The only
explanation forthcoming for the po
lice activity was that threats had
been made.
Police headquarters said the blue

DOWN RULES FOR
POOR LAND SALES
SPOKANE, Wash., July 7. (AP)
Getting off sub-marginal land Is
largely up to the farmer. Dr. Rex
ford Guy Tugwell, under-secretary of
agriculture, said here today.
Government money Is available for
purchase of submarglnal land. Tug
well said, but practical proposals are
awaited from communities that have
productive land or Industries that
will give farmers employment.
Before the government would buy
poor land, the farmer-owner must
show that he Is prepared to settle
on some better land or Is going Into
Industry.
The clty-to-farm drift has reversed.
Tugwell said, with people leaving the
farms for the cities. During the
first two years of the depression peo
ple flocked to the land, but the dif
ficulty of wrestling a living from
worn-out or drought-stricken noil has
turned the tide back to the cities.

Steps for 'Emasculation of
Constitution' Taken by
Democrats Too Much
Legislative Meddling Hurts
JACKSON, Mich., July 7. (AP)
Sounding of the drums of the coming
election wars, two leaders of the. Re
publican party Henry P. Fletcher,
chairman of the national committee,
and Senator Arthur H. Vandenburg,
today charged the Democratic ad
ministration with taking steps toward
"emasculation of the constitution,
, Similarly, Hanford MacNlder, for
mer United States minister to Canada,
In an address yesterday, charged the
constitution was "being undermined."
Other Republicans attending a cele
bration here of he 80th anniversary
of the birth of their party, in re
marks today, left no doubt that one
of the war cries of the coming cam
paign will be "back to the constitu
tion." Both Fletcher and Vandcnberg ques
tion the monetary policy of the ad
ministration. "I believe," said Fletcher, "that the
government, by tampering with our
currency, by destroying confidence, by
stopping the flow of capital Into In
dustry, by the hundred and one meas
ures of Interference and control of
industry and agriculture, not only
has delayed the return to sound eco
nomic principles and conditions, but
has complicated and confused our en
tire political and economic situation."
Vandenburg, discussing the same
phase of the administration program,
said: "We can neither tax nor bor
row ourselves Into prosperity. The
final alternative, except as we re
trench, Is the 'printing press'; flat
money ultimately curses every man,
woman and child under Its regime
except the rich and the shrewd specu
lators who know precisely how to
manipulate such a lethal lottery.
Whether we like It or not, this Is
one of the realities ahead."

Seventeen Millions Sought
SEATTLE, July 7. following
the arrest here of the millionaire
officers of Brewers and Distillers. Ltd.,
of Vancouver, B. C, the United States
government moved today to tie up all
money owned by the state liquor
boards of Washington and Oregon to
the British distillery company.
The government planned to seise
the money, it was said, if Its suit for
17.350.000 for customs taxes and pen
alties on alleged smuggled liquor 1st
successful. In addition, officials asked
that the Seattle plant of the Hemrlch
Brewing company reveal what assets
It holds belonging to the British
Columbia Distillery Company, Ltd.,
the Vancouver Brewers and Distillers.
Ltd., and Henry Relfel and Henry S.
Tobin.
Henry Reilel. of Vancouver, B. o
and his son, George -were arrested yes
terday, charged with, having smuggled
hundreds of thousands of cases of
liquor into the northwest United
States in recent years. They were lat
er released under bonds of $100,000
each. Tobin is a director of soma of
the Canadian corporations named In
the government's suit.
Writs of garnishment were also se
cured by the government against the
World Importers, Inc., of Seattle, and
the First National Bank of Seattle,
and also asked that assets of and in
debtedness to the British Columbia
Distillery Company, Ltd.. be disclosed.
The bank was named. It was explain
ed, because It was believed to hold
the money belonging to the Canadian
companies.
It was thought that the federal
grand Jury, which was called today
by Federal Judge Jeremiah Neterer to
reconvene July 17, will conduct an
exhaustive Investigation Into the al
leged conspiracy.
The Re If els, denying the charges,
blamed "spite work" among Canadian
and American liquor Interests for
.thlcnllght... They, were accused .In.
the complaint, filed before a U. S.
commlssionr, of enlarging the distil
lery of which they were officers, so
as to produce larger quantities of
liquor to be smuggled, and of organiz
ing the Pacific Forwarding Company,
Ltd., to transport liquor to the United
States after passage of the prohibition
law.
The garnishee actions and the civil
suit are entirely separate from the
criminal action against the Relfels.
It was explained by federal officers.
No evidence or suspicion was
brought out that the state liquor
boards of Washington and Oregon
purchased any smuggled liquor. As
sistant Attorney General Sam E.
Whltsker said. The state boards, how
ever, handle large quantities of liq
uor manufactured by the Relfels and
their various companies.
At the time ot their arrest, the
Relfels were here looking over sites
for a proposed million dollar distillery
and rectifying plant. Rudolph Samot,
president of the Hemrlch Brewing
company, disclosed that the pair for
some time had been hoping to estab
lish a large industry here.

Lewis, chairman of the democratic

In a statement the president was eager
to have business men present their
views for discussion in the fall elec

"Through some misunderstanding,"
Lewis said, "there Is being published

stated that he desired his particular
political advisers to prepare for other
measures to be passed by the Incom
ing congress as parts of and of neces
sary importance to present legisla

"This statement has caused large
business interests to assume that the
present legislation is not complete and

Dictator's Screams Vivid
Before Roehm 'Purged'
in 'House of Sin.'
BERLIN, Germany, July 7. (AP)
Adolf Hitler called for peace and
quiet and ordered a political truce
today after the most turbulent weelc
of tho nazl regime.
The chancellor set an example of
outward calmness for tho Gorman
people by leaving Berlin and going
to hla retreat In the Bavarian Alps,
at least for the week end and pos
sibly for ft longer vacation.
Tho government still Is on the
alert, the propaganda ministry Indi
cated, for any sign of renewed ef
forts of dissatisfied element to over-
titrow (no mtier regime.
Actlvlttea of secret police will con
tinue throughout the "truce," which
If carried out aa planned means that
no major change can be made during
July.
The cabinet, which rule, Germany
aa a legislative as well aa executive
body, will have no meotlnga during
the month, It was stated at the chan
cellor's office.
Presumably, the government feels
that Its position la sufficiently
strengthened to warrant relaxation
on the part of high officials unless
their rest Is Interrupted by new dis
quieting reports from tho secret po
lice. To the storm troopers, among whose
leadera the revolt developed, nazl
party leadera Issued a carefully word
ed atatement assuring them that
the troops and the party belong to
each other and cannot be separated.
Many of the 2,000,000 men In the
organization, vacationing under or
dera not to wear uniforms, face the
proapect of being shoved aside In the
reorganization now under way as ft
reault of the executions among their
former leadera.
New accounts continued to be re
ceived of the stirring Incidents ot
last weclc end when Hitler and hla
aldca awept nazls from high places
to "traltora" graves."
Residents of Bad Wlcsse, near Mu
nich, told of Hitler ahoutlng loudly
and angrily as he moved against Ern
est Roohm, supreme commanrler of
the storm troopera.
His shouts, they said, awakened
the whole neighborhood early Satur
day morning, but before the people
had time to dress the automobtlen
bearing Hitler and his companions
had left.
Roehm was aald by neighbors to
have been taken In a. respectable
middle-class pension rather than In
the luxurloua country manalon which
aerved as a kind of storm troop head
quarters. Hitler was aald also to have vla
Ited Bad 'Vle&se a week or so before
the "purge" but to have atayed In ft
house across ft lake from the pension
where Roehm was vacationing.
The pension has been besieged 7
the curious since the story was re
lated that it was the "House of Sin"
described In official atatements re
garding the arrests and executions.

thinkiiii' statesman, (xou no
tice I said statesman). A states
man is a man that can do what
the politician would like to do
but can't, becauso ho is afraid
of not being elected.
Well, Senator uoran, wno
has spent the past winter with
tho Democrats, is leaving their
bed and board, and has given
instructions that ho won't be
responsible for any bills they
incur. Now from the way his
tracks led when ho left their
enmpfire, it looked liko he
mitfht be headed for tho Re
publican chuck wagon again or
he may just camp on a hill
where ho can roll rocks down
on both of 'cm.
