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.

But the secretary of the interior was allowed to loose
his "acid tongue" and to corrupt a presidential campaign
at the outset with tho cheap personal attacks and in-
nuendoes for which he is notorious. TIip statesmanlike
and dignified acceptance speech of Mr. Willkie was not
answered in kind, as might have been expected from the
leadership presumably dominated bv the president of the
United States. '

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."
