HOOVER EDUCATION
 OFFICERS REPORT
Committee Stresses Dangers Of
 Federal Control

Washington, July 10 P}-Dangers from increasing federal control of education constitute the main prob lem found by President Hoover's committee studying the governments educational activities.
 This was shown today in a mem- orandum of progress prepared to stimulate public consideration of the situation.
 The director of the inquiry. Dr. Henry Suzzalo, reported that special money grants have been steadily en- hancing the legal and psychological power of federal agencies 10 control education in the states, and gradual ly decreasing the capacity of local communities to manage their own educational affairs"
 Principles agreed upon tentatively by the committee call for opposition to federal appropriations for educa- tion which must be matched by the states, and favor grants in aid of education as a whole to "supplant special grants for the stimulation of particular types of training"
 Emphasizing that no conclusions have been reached, the memoran- dunn said the tentative principles and proposals embraced would be used as bases for it's report to President Hoover. C. R. Mann, chairman, wrote the committee desired sug- gestions from every interested source' before crystallizing recom- mendations from the past years study.
 Recommendations Made
 Proposals made by the steering committee included increased feder- al appropriations for education, creation of a federal educational headquarters and repeal of all laws for annual special grants.
 The funds to states would be at the rate of s250 per child under 2 years of age. Each state would be made responsible flor budgeting the grant in such manner as, in the judgment of the state itself, will best develop the talents of all the people,

GOPHER AND RABBIT
 RATED AS FARMERS

WASHINGTON, Feb. s. The original farmers of the western ranges were ground squirrels, rabbits, pocket gophers and prairie dogs, says a report to the Ameri- can Association for the Ad- vancement of Science by Walter P. Taylor of the U. $. Department of Agricul- ture.
 He has been studying the harm they do to the ranges in consuming forage, impair ing watersheds and removing shelter and food for valuable animals.
 Mir Taylor concludes that their effects are not all bad; that they often disseminate valuable plants, that some of them consume large quan- titles of insects, that bur- rowing rodents are indus trious soil cultivators, and that in some places they may do more good than harm.

The surveys of the timber made under the iur- isdiction of Mir K. O. Posse and MT. Don Meldrum have been com pleted and MT Meldrum is now in Washington to make the formal selection of the areas required to be selected by June lst this year j This completes the necessary formalities prior to beginning oper- ations of cutting and logging which will not commence until just before a mill is completed.
 "The water at Long Lake and Crater Lake has been measured now for many years and an as- sured source of power is obtainable.
 The new power, called Dorothy Lake, on Taku Inlet, discovered by the Navy Pliers last summer, is also embraced in these water pow CTS, permits for which have been issued and licenses to which are soon expected to be issued. As no measurements have ever been made on Dorothy Lake prior to Septem- Der of last year not even an ap- proximation can be made as to what the horse power will be-the elevation is over 2,400 feet and at this elevation no records of pre- cipitation have been taken. It IS probable that they are lighter than at the lower elevations, such as Long Lake and Crater Lake.
 Ut is not possible to state defi- nite progress for the future until all of the known facts have been gathered together and engineers estimates have been compiled nor will permanent financing be pos sible until all these factors and es- inmates have been fully determined
 "The surveys show the timber 10 be of slow growth and the forest an old one containing not only young trees but also many of great age, in many cases having heart rot.
 "It will take some years of &C., tual cutting to determine just what the relation between the cruise and actual production will show
 "The proportion of spruce and h emlock is approximately that shown in the Government prospec- tus.
 No definite site for the plant has ] been or will be decided upon until all other factors have become defi- nitely known" "

 "In recent months the unsettled newsprint situation on the North American continent has thundered through the ranks of the big daily publishers, rolling echoes through provincial governments and boom- ing along through the Eastern mills in both Canada and the United States. The unsettled price situa- tion has plunged into the forgot ten limbo of the past-at least for the publishers those war days when newsprint sold for nearly three times it's present price.

HUB POLICE URGED
 ID FIND GARRETT
Police Official Says It Would
 Restore Good Name

Boston. July II (UP)-In a gen. eral order read at roll call today. Police Commissioner Eugene C. Huffman stressed the point that cap ture of Oliver B. Garrett, former 'czar' of the police headquarters liquor and vice unit. would do much to restore the good name of the de- partment.
 Garrett disappeared in default of s13,000 bonds 20 days ago at what was to have been his trial for et- tortion. Previous to his indictment an investigation had been held by Attorney General Joseph E. Warner into alleged corruption in the police department. The inquiry resulted in the removal of former Police Com missioner Herbert A. Wilson and a general shaking up in the depart ment.
 In his general order, which will be repeated daily for an indefinite per- iod, Commissioner Huffman said No other action would go so far to rehabilitate the good name of the department with the public as the capture of Oliver B. Garrett" He intimated that reports that police feared the arrest of Garrett on ac- count of revelations the ex-raider might make would thus be stilled.
