WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug, A revival of the village store forum is the remedy Dr. Harry A. Garfield sug- gests for political and economic ills of cities, states and nations-and the world
 Real public opinion that had wis grew out of old-time gatherings around the stove in the corner store, where men sat about on cracker-b bar rels, smoking and talking"
 This, he said in an interview with NEA Service describing the aims of the Institutes of Politics now in ses- sion here, has become a lost institu- tion.
 Garfield, president of Williams Col lege, wartime federal fuel administra- tor and son of former president of the United States, is originator and chair- man of the institute, now in its sec. ond annual meeting.
 Attending this month are public lee turers from five foreign countries, IS distinguished Americans as leaders of roundtable conferences, and 300 dip lomats, publicists, college presidents and professors, .lnanciers, and army and navy officers.
 Cracker-BarreI Forum
 We need such gatherings as this, he says. to teach us to think-round table discussions based on serious study. That's what the old-time crack er-barrel talks were, though the pro blems were simpler and called for con temptation rather than study.
 Nowadays we do not get together to talk over and exchange ideas. Wher We hold meetings--town meetings, cor ventions, world conferences-there |; always the shadow of official respson sibility hanging over ouR heads.
 People think nothing is being ac complished unless resolutions art adopted. Action, they say-we mus ! have action. Well, there is nothing like that in the Institute of Politics. Were not acting on, or deciding anything as a group. We seek onl! to get at the facts and to exchang, 1 opinions as individuals.
 And the intimate association durin! months stay in small communit!

Recapture Not Likely


 DOUGLAS.-There is little likeli- hood of the recapture of Florencio de la Vega, slayer of Dato Campbell, who was released by Chihuahua au- thorities after being held three days, according to officials of Agua Prieta, and persons in Douglas who are in touch with the Mexican situation.
 The belief is expressed that de h Vega will make the most Of his lib. erty, and the fact that from Chihua- hua he is almost within striking dis tance of the gulf coast, whence he can easily escape to Cuba or South America, is believed to be too heavy a handicap for the authorities to overcome.
 Word was received by the Dispatch yesterday from Governor Francisco Elias, of Sonora, in reply to a tele- gram sent Friday, denying that he is responsible for de la Vegas release and placing the blame upon Judge Estabar Mendoza of Agua Prieta, who, according to Governor Elias, was instructed to arrange extradi- tion. but who, according to the same authority, failed to do his duty in this respect.
