One of the stories circulated with
abandon during the historic blockade
upon the State Highway Commission
was that Governor Silzer had anchor
ed the support Of Senator Morgan F.
Larsen of MiddleseX County. one of
the eight Republican insurgents, by
arranging to have him made chief en-
gineer of the new board, a post which
pays s12,0 900 a year. Senator Larsen
pumped the story fun of holes at his
home in Perth Amboy, saying:
'Tf the job was offered to me |
would have to refuse it as a matter of
principle. If l accepted this lucrative
position 1t would indicate that the
$4,000 appointment was the price l

four-man board because believed it

Governor Silzer has before him
more than 100 bills for approval or
veto. Under the constitution all must
be disposed of BY midnight Thursday.
Much Of the legislation was enacted
during the strenuous day and night
sessions last week. OF the bills more
than sixty originated in the Senate,

To Fight "open" Specifications
When the new State Highway Com,

Senator Mathis of Ocean county.
The commission refused to give out
any information as to the nature of
the discussion nor the opinion of the
commission on the utility Of the bill
to secure the object aimed at. This
refusal of the commissioners to talk
was construed to indicate lack OF
faith in the measure.

Science

Science, often thought as tiresome
literary and laboratory work, has
physical adventures and thrills as
great as those of soldiers and sports
men.
Members Of the United States Geo
logical Survey recently completed
one Of the most dangerous enter
prfses ever undertaken in this coun.
try. They mapped the waters of the
Colorado River and explored its can
yons.
During the entire time they were
afioat the members of the party wore
life preservers and were strapped into
small boats fitted with air chambers.
1t took them three months to make
300 miles and they almost daily had
escapes from death. At places the
river rushes through rocky gorges at
terrific speed, and 1t rises and multi
plies its volume in narrow rapids
without warning.
For fifteen years the Government
has been mapping the Colorado. This
last expedition completes records of
the Colorado and it's tributaries for
over 200 miles. During the time
of this expedition the explorers kept
in touch with the outside world with a
radio receiving set.

Remembrance
BY BERTON BRALEY


You send me a Christmas Card once
year
And the rest of the time you're
silent,
Which makes affection for me appear
Decidedly not too vi'lent.
Especially when it's sent, you know,
To a place l moved from, long ago.
You send me a Christmas Card once
year
And it comes after travels devious,
And I find it's exactly the one, old
dear.
I sent you the season previous.
Which shOws-not lapse of love for
me,
But singular lapse of memory
You send me Christmas Card once
a year
With my name misspelled. It's
true,
But haven't a right to kick, it's
clear.
Since l do the same to you;
And at least it proves that we both
are here
And think of each other-once a
year,

the mystery solved the possibility is
remote that Ford will get the plant
on any such terms as he has offered.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, for

Yes. I have been told that Ford

they are going to give 1t to him." he
added with an ironical chuckle.
Fought All Efforts
Norris fought all organized efforts
to force the last Congress to turn the
plant over to Ford. He insisted the
Government should complete the prof.
ect as q Government enterprise.
Ford has successfully masked his
real plansefor Muscle Shoals behind

information in the hands Of the Tariff

If Ford could produce his own alum
mum he would add one more link to

production Of all the materials going

might improve his machine and also

Sentiments Echoed

To the Editor Of The Times
''Thems my sentiments"
refer to the article written by Mr..
Duncan on the McCray case. The
9-year- old boy who forged the check
was no doubt doing something he saw
someone else do, rot thinking it was
wrong, but when it comes to the
grand jury indicting the Governor
of the great State of Indiana on
charges of getting money falsely by
using the good name of Indiana and
his good office by signatures that
were not authorized, say as Mr..
Walb says, Mr. New and the leader
Of the State Senate says:
TT IS time to call a halt on the
higher ups and ask them to step
down and out for there are many
good men for the great office of Gov
ernor who would not use the office
to put the name OF our good S ate
to shame"
1 say put him out like Oklahoma
did Governor Walton. Don't think
because he is Governor of Indiana
that he belongs to the 400 and should
not be asked to step down and out.
When he disregards that saying Of
an old statesman, "a public office is
a public trust" it is then that it
pinches. He has by his acts openly
embarrassed the people that
sponsored his election.
