FREE BRIDGES GET RED RIVER TRAFFIC Toll Spans Idle as Motorists Detour in Controversy Betyeen States. By the Associated Press. DENISON, Tex., July 18—Gov. W., “A. Murrays 2astic action in opening | free bridges across the Red River be- | tween Texas and Oklahoma—a move | blocked at one point by Gov. Ross S. | Sterling of Texas—had accomplished | results for the motorisis of both States | tonight. | They were crossing back and forth | on free spans, except the one located | here, and the owners of toll bridges were doing no business. I Meanwhile, Gov. Sterling. who sent | Texas Rangers to stop traffic at the| south end of the Denison Free Bridge after Oklahoma officials had torn down the barrier there, was seeking & means of ending the controversy. Calls Parley of Owners. District Guard THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. s Win Trophy 121ST ENGINEERS TOP EASTERN RIFLEMEN. He called a conference for tomor- . row of owners of the Denison Toll | Bridge Co. and members of the State Highway Commission in an effort 1o sottle a dispute over a contract under which the Denison Free Bridge was to remain closed until Texas paid the toll proprietors a sum varfously interpreted from $80.000 to $150,000. A hitch developed late today., how- | ever. when the State attorney general's cepartment ruled the contract invalid and announced payment of any money would be opposed on the ground the contract provided for the State to pur- chase the entire bridge. while the law allowed the purchase of only one-half | of an interstate bridge. Free Bridges Get Traffic. J. J. Loy, Texas State Senator prom- | fnent in highway affairs, informed Gov. Sterling that he considered the Texas executive had overstepped his authority in sending Rangers to block the Deni- son Free Bridge. “The bridge was closed by a Federal injunction and | keeping it closed was a matter for Fed- eral officers.” Loy sald. | The situation tonight found free bridges near Derison and Ringgold, 70 miles up the river, carrying traffic that prior to last Thursday passed over the toll bridges; and plans were under way in Oklahoma for opening the new free bridge at Gainesville, the third point | invoived in Murray's move.

Oklahoma highway employes said they had received orders to begin tear- ing up & section of road near Achille, Okla., leading to K. O. & G.

DOUGHERTY ROW RECALLED IN MEMOIRS BY FALL of Scene at Cabinet by President. As a member of Harding's cabinet former Secretary of Interior Fall had an open row Wwith Attorncy General Dougherty over the latter’s handling of the coal strike, and President®Harding rebuked him_afterward for losing his temper, Mr. Fall recalls in a chapter of his memoirs, which he has written for the North 'American Newspaper Al- liance, of which The Star is a member. He described the mectings of the cab- inet as being rather tiresome affair: Refezinz to them generally, he say “The President talks directly to each de- partment head in turn. The oth-rs listen, or are supposed to be listening. Some of them, in the Harding adminis- tration, when ‘the President asked Sec- | retary Denby and myself about legal aspects of the Naval reserve leases, ap- parently didn't hear a thing. It has been denied that the leases were even discussed before the cabinet.” He described former President Hard- ing as having been “a man of great poise. I never heard him _criticize a member of the cabinet,” Fall writes, | “but one day following & meeting. he did Jet out one of his innermost thoughts concerning the men in his of- ficial family. Apropos of nothing that I could re- call, he said, looking back at the big vacant room and the empty chairs: “‘Albert, every man around that table except yourself, and you don't count because you're from a little State with no great influence, has his eye cn my job. They all hops some day to be Presidént—including that little fellow at end of the table. | ‘The ‘little fellow at the end of the | able, seldom speaking, but always awake to everything said, was Calvin Coolidge. then Vice President | 't belleve Harding ever however, that he had two, future Presidents in his cabinet.” | “One of the biggest rows in the cabi- net,” writes Fall, “came up over acts of | the’ Attorney General, Harry M.

I shout- ed at Daugherty, ‘and you can't learn any. You say you will take “your” mar- shals, “your army” of United States marshals, and settle this strike. Why, man, they're not your marshals. They're officers of the court. You have nothing to do with them, except to nominate them for appointment by the Presi- dent .’ l"Dnugherl-y gripped the sides of his chair. “President Harding looked at me stern'y. He looked like a school teach- er after a bad boy. “‘Albert.’ he said. dropping the for- mal ‘Mr. Secretary,’ ‘I want to see you after this meeting. “When we were alone, he said: *'I wish you wouldn't “ride” the At- | torney General like that. You are too hard on him. I dont want to hear any more outbursts about resigning, either.’ “I apologized. And T was glad when the strike was settled by the involved elements and the emergency removed.” W. F.

PARIS, July 18.—French women de- manding equal rights are redoubling their efforts. They need to. They have to capture an almost impregnable cit- adel—the Senate. The Senators have decided, rather disdainfully, $hat they will not even discuss the question, though the Chamber of Deputies long #go passed a bill enfranchising woman. Consequently, the efforts of the fem- inists are being directed today to take the battle to the recalcitrant Senators in their own election strongholds, in each of which they intend to carry on thelr campaign. Furthermore, _the Leegue for Feminine Action, which is taking the lead in the fight, met this week to organize a vigorous campaign, with the slogan, “No taxation without representatio Appeals Ignored. Senator Paul Strauss, one of the few champions of the women's cause in the Upper House, has appealed to the dig- nity and the consciences of his col- leagues, and declared that it was unfair to condemn without & hearing. He has pleaded in valn. The French Senate refuses to devote an hour or two to a discussion of votes for women. Time after time it has declined to place the question of equal rights on its agends. Yet since the war there aré more wom- en than men in this country. As & matter of fact, women in France cely exist legally. They still suf- fer under disabilities dating, in some instances, from medieval days. A married woman in particular has no rights. She 1s the possession of her husband. If she leaves the conjugal home he can have her brought back by policemen. She can do nothing without his authorization, not even ap- ply for a passport. A husband has leg- al means of preventing his wife from engaging in & hundred and one activ- | ities—appearing on the stage or pub- lishing & book ‘The marital difficulties of Col. Nelson Morris of Chicago and Jane Aubert, | the actress, furnish a case in point.

Husband Given Control. Unless there is a marriage contract safeguarding the personal property of f the wife, all her belongings are ad- | ministered by the husband and she! can dispose of nothing without his con- | s°nt. Spinsters have more liberty in that they escape the necessity of mar-| ital sanction, but nevertheless, there! are many things they cannot do, which | does not prevent their being recognized | a8 _taxpayers. French women not only cannot vote, but they are not eligible for any elec- | [ tive position.

The profession of auctioneer, which is state regulated, was opened to them only recently. and there | are two women auctioneers today. There | also are two women Protestant ministers. There are many women physiclans, | but only one has yet been allowed to | practice in the public hospitals. The French woman is weary of be- ing legally classed among goods and | chattels. She is organizing systemati- |cally to obtain her rights. | (Copyright. 1931 |CHILDREN GAIN WEIGHT AT TUBERCULOSIS CAMP Fifty Boys and Girls Show Average | of Three and a Half Pounds e This Month.
