PARK 10 PARK ROAD
 BOOSTING CAMPAIGN

Communities on the route of the National Park-to-Park Highway, in- cluding Kingman, and western cities generally, have a direct commercial interest in the proper representation, thru delegates, at the forthcoming of the National Park -to-Park High way Association, in DDenver, Nov. H. 13, in which the National Parks Ser Association will also participate. This assertion, made by the members of the official dedicating the $500 mile continuous scenic wonder way, is substantiated by Pacific coast states which are familiar with tour ist business.
 Automobile tourists bring an aver age return each of $5 a day to mer- chants, hotelmen and distributors of gas and oil in communities visited in their cross-country travels. There are 7,459,607 automobiles in use in the United States, according to avail able statistics, averaging one car to each fourteen persons.
 Ben Blow, manager of the good roads bureau of the California State Automobile Association, declares that $10,000,0O0 year is spent in Califor- mia by automobile tourists from other states, averaging $20 day for a party of three or four persons. The United States government, prior to the inception of the high-price peri cd, made an estimate based on three persons in a car allowing SIP day as a fair average expense. Revision to conform to present day costs would make this at least $5 a day for each person.
 Greater accessibility in reaching the twelve national parks in nine western states is one motive for de- fining the National Park-to-Park Highway, bringing increased auto mobile pleasure travel, and later on industrial and agriculture develop ment. Tourists now have the choice of going the northern route, thru Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho to reach the Pacific coast tier of states and returning thru Arizona and New Mexico to Colorado, the starting point, or reversing the order of travel.
 The official touring party, speaking to large meetings in every place, is maintaining its schedule.

POST MAKESAPR0TEST
OF INQUIRY PROCEDURE
Asks Committee for Chance to Of
fer Defense-Charges Favorable
Testimony Withheld,

Assistant Secretary Post of the De-
partment of Labor has protested
against the procedure at the con-
greSsional inquiry. and has asked an
opportunity to offer his defense. In
letter received by Chairman Campbell
of the House rules committee, which
is considering the resolution to remove
MIR. Post from Office, he charges that
the House immigration committee had
withheld important and impartial
testimony which is believed to be ia
vorable to me" in presenting a review
OF some cases in which decisions have
been made by him. Further, he wrote
that his official judgment. save for
criminal violation of law, may be chal-
ienged only by Impeachment"
Up to this time" he said. little or
nothing of truly evidential nature
has been produced before the rules
committee. The only exhibits laid be-
fore you contain. with possibly two or
three exceptions. nothing save parts of
the records Of the Department of Labor
relating to particular cases which 1
nave officially acted upon. The con-
clusions which I am charged with re-
sponslbility for in such cases are not
d1scoverable upon the records now be-
1ore you. furthermore. in many in
stances, there are included in the rec
oros before you, as If of conclusive ef-
feet. unverifed statements proceeding
not charged with their making"
Besides asking opportunity to tes-
thy and produce witnesses in his be-
half. Mr.. Post requested that the
rules committee require that def
mite and comprehensive charges
against him be lodged with the com
mittee and that evidence, which he
said had been kept secret by the inn
migration committee. be included in
the record of the investigation.
Conceding the cancellation of 1,40o
warrants for arrest, Mr.. Post said
that such action by him was neces-
sary because of defects. failure or
complete absence of proof, or for 9TH
er adequate reasons"
After receipt Of the letter Chair
man Campbell reiterated that the
committee did not intend to call Mr..
Post az a witness. but that he would
be heard whenever he presented him
self.
There has been no sort Of fntfma-
tion at any time" said Mr. Campbell,
that Mr.. Post could not be heard
whenever he wanted to appear and
that offer still holds good The COM
mittee did not feel called on to ask
him to appear. We left that entirely
to him."

fused to grant permission to the Arts
