Police Chief Morrissey continued to wrangle today as detectives arrested a 26-year-old woman s ted of being involved in the Indiana -ave. brawl last Saturday morning which culminated in critical injury to two police officers and two Negroes. The ' woman, charged with vagrancy, was believed to have helped tear the clothes off Officers Charles M. Cavender and Casper Kleifgen after they had been beaten unconscious in the riot” near the Cotton club. Prosecutor Blue, who yesterday fled nuisance affidavits against the Cotton club and an establishment operated by Joe Mitchell on Indiana ave, charged in a letter to Chief Morrissey that a “vicious and infamous” policy racket had been permitted to thrive under “the very * nose of the police.”

HUSH DISPUTES.
Aid the. Enemy, He Tells Department Heads.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 (U. PJ). —President Roosevelt today ordered the heads of all government agencies and departments to stop airing of inter-departmental disputes in public. He directed that all such disagreements henceforth be “submitted to me.” ‘In identie letters to agency and department chiefs, Mr. Roosevelt disclosed that Elmer Davis, director of the office of war information, had reported to him that publicized
disputes between high officials were]
creating confusion in the public mind and aiding the enemy. “The enemy is constantly at work’ trying to undermine public confidence in the government; why should members of that government help him along by undermining it themselves?” the president quoted Mr. Davis as saying. “Disagreements either as to fact or policy should not be publicly aired,” the president said. : “But are to be submitted to me by the appropriate headt™ol the conflicting agencies. .
Hints More Investigations
“The policy of the government should be announced by me, as the responsible head thereof. Disagreements as to facts can be resolved, by investigations: and surveys directed by me.” The most notable recent example of a presidentially directed survey is the one now being made of the synthetic rubber situation by a committee headed by Bernard M. Baruch. Mr. Roosevelt said that “too often in recent months responsible officials of the government have made publie criticism of other agencies of the government and have made public statements based either on inadequate information or on failure to appreciate all the aspects of a complex subject. which is only partially within their jurisdiction.” “This is inadvisable at any time,” he continued. “But in times of war it is particularly contrary to public policy. It contributes only to the confusion of the public.” Such quarrels, the president said, “are a direct and serious handicap to the war effort.”
No Disputes Specified
Mr. Roosevelt did not specify the particular disputes which prompted his letter, but the wartime capital has produced dozens of them since Dec. 7. The department of interior: has been at odds sometimes with the office of price administration i the gasoline and fuel oil situaon. The war producti board and the army and navy jhave engaged in a struggle for control of produc-' tion and materials allocation. Until recently the department of agriculture and the OPA have failed to agree on many facets of the price ceilings for farm products question.
