Consolidation Proposal THE proposal for combining tho city recreation com mittee, park hoard and ki'ul commission actually took definite shape from sufrin-siions by members of the citv recreation committee. Hut lo::tr before the proposal was made by that group, there had oecn widespread dis cussion of some such project by persons who take more than passing interest in municipal affairs. Back of this discussion is a feolirir that then is no clear line separating the functions of the three city com missions, with the result that there is an overlapping of effort and a failure to develop as comprehensive and well-defined program as could be promoted under a single controlling board. There has been little criticism of the individual boards or their members, it being felt that under the circumstances they wore performing their functions as efficiently as possible. Especially dim is the distinction between parks and recreation. Consolidation of these functions would seem a logical development, and there has been considerable opinion that the band program ought to be placed under the same directing board. Opinions given to the legis lative committee of the chamber of commerce, which is studying the proposal, have in the majority favored con solidation of control of the various functions coming un der the general head of "recreation." The chamber legislative committee, which did not initiate the proposal but has accepted the responsibility of studying it. will make recommendations soon to the chamber board of directors. It appears likely that some sort of consolidation measure will reach the ballot at the election November 5, and at that time the voting public can determine the fate of the suggestion.

West rick Denies Mystery Talk' About Operations i m S FRANCISCO, Aug. 21 U.R Dr. Gerhardt A. Wcstrick. German trade counselor charged with spreading nazi propaganda iu me umiea oiaies, yesterday nneel the cloak of mystery that has shrouded his movements and announced he was on his way back to Germany. Dr. Westrick unbolted his cabin door aboard the Japanese liner Nitta Maru after re- peated poundings by reporters persuaded rum to break his long : silence and confirm reports he was returning to Adolf Hitler by way of Japan and Russia. At the same time, he emphati cally denied the nazi fiovcrnment had ordered him to return be- cause he drew unfavorable pub- licity in this country. "Why all this man of mystery talk?" he asked. "Your govern- ment knows I am not mysterious at all. I have had many pleasant dealings with your state depart- mcn'-" Westrick said he came to thr United States "to bring about mutual commercial dealings be- twecn Germany and this coun- try," and pointed out Germany could buy "very much American cotton, foodstuffs and other coin- modities."
