Hearing stories of how much
this and that bear operator made
in these markets hides the fact
that they often get a kick on
the shins, too. An amusing story
in this respect involves American
Tobacco and the most prominent
of the bears in the break two
weeks ago.
When tobacco got around its
low and looked bad, the bear
thought it a fine chance to clean
up in this prime investment
favorite, and put out big block
Of stock. The stock gave ground
a little and then stood like a
rock. When he started covering,
the big bear found the market
had run away from him and. it
cost him a pretty penny to get
out.
While on American Tobacco,
the stock is meeting the best kind
of buying around these levels, I
am told, all of the long pull
variety. A good deal of this is
for Investment trust account. The
company is expected to report
about SO a share for the year.
Better results are anticipated in
1881, for American Tobacco
loaded up with cheap raw mater
ialS this year.

Aircraft Sales Up


Interests identified with Gen
eral Motors have been quietly
adding to their holdings of United
Aircraft, 'tis said, giving Motors
now a substantial minority in
terest in this aviation leader.
One of the nations biggest rail
roads, too, I am told, has been
picking up a lot of aircraft.
The latter is logical, since the
carriers have started doing some
thing about loss of business to
competing transportation lines,
and aviation has become a def
mite threat. Control of Aircraft,
however, still rests with insiders,
and I am told there is very little
chance Of this passing to other
interests through an exchange of
stocks.
Selling of Fox looks like q
speculative jiggle to me. I under
stand large operator was bring
ing pressure on the stock all day
yesterday. The supreme court
decision on film distribution had
something to do with it, but
the statement of Will Hays indi-
Gates that this had been antici-
pated and that the practice had
been changed, thus taking out
whatever sting it contained.
Just Another RumOr
Denial that National Supply
Company was being sought by
either Youngstown Sheet and
Tube or Bethlehem Steel was
expected by those who knew the
situation. National is a big out
let for United States Steel, and
any merger would point that
way.
A deal with Steel seems the
more logical, too, in view of the
recent acquisition of Oil Well
Supply by big steel. Oil Well
was controlled by the same in.
terests who run National, and
they have a closer community Of
interest with Steel than any Of
the others. Those in the know
state that any merger talk now
is, at the very least, premature.

zaton of forest resources plays material part. The district organizations plan which had worked out with marked success in seven ether sections of the country was duplicated here with even more beneficial effects. The district office in Juneau and two supervisor offices-at Ketchkan and Cordova-quickly brought home to those con- csrned the administration of all local matters that arose
 The timber resources of the Alaska national forests rank third in quantity among the nine districts being surpassed by only the Oregon Washington and California districts. The Tongass Forest embraces within it's borders practically 90 per cent of the habitabe area of Southeast Alaska, and it and the Chugach Forest cover many thou sand miles of AlaSka's coastline The administra- ton of the two forests affect not only the indi- vidual lives of persons engaged in various occu- pations, but the welfare of the largest communi- ties in the Territory since the corporate limits of nearly every one of them join directly the national forest boundaries.
 Under the system that prevailed prior to 1920, many hardships and handicaps were imposed on local settlers and formed bar to local develop ment. Many of them would still exist if the Forest Service had been nggardy in extending the dis trict organization system here. To have created an Alaska district without placing the fullest pos sible power in the hands of the Services repre- sentatives at Ketchikan and Cordova would have brought some relief but not that to which Alaskans were entitled Col Greeley fully recognized this fact when he created this northern district. The wisdom of his action has been completely vindi- cated in the ten years since it taken. And if the occasion should ever arise for Maj Stuart or any other United States Forester to defend the Services decentralization policy, he has only to insert in the record the history of the Alaska forests
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-12-23
SIXTY YEARS OF POLICY GROWTH.

The policy of the United States Forest Service, followed in the administration of the national for est properties of the nation, dividing the forests into districts according to location and conditions in common and centralizng administrative authority the hands of local district officers is the product of 60 years experience and growth In this man. ner the Service has sought make itself responsive to communities and individuals with whom it comes into contact more or less frequently In the carry ing out of this policy there are nine districts each headed by a regional chief in whose hands power is placed to handle all administrative matters not involving questions of national policy.
 In his recent annual report, Maj. Robert Y Stuart United States Forester commented on the system as follows "The wisdom of this form Of organization has made itself evident from the out set and it's value has grown with the years. There has been on the whole a steady outward move ment of responsibilities from the Washington office to the district offices through broader delegation of authority the district foresters, with their staffs, have proved their competence to assume weightier responsibilities"
 Nor did the localzation of authority end there. The district foresters in turn as Maj Stuart pointed out pressed further outward the exercise of initial responsibility as the forest supervisors have established their capacity to handle their local business and resources skilfully.'
  deal every day with Government agents at dis tance this policy may to be relatively un- important and the evident pride with which Maj. Stuart regards the Forest Services accomplishment therein might be regarded by them as misplaced. But to Alaskans who still remember early days of Forest Service history here and up to decade ago when national forests in the Territory were attached to the Oregon Washington district the value of such an organization does not have to be defended nor the pride that the Forester feels require justification.
 The first ten years of Forest Service in Alaska was a failure It dsgusted Alaskans with the en- tire national forest system and almost convinced them that all conservation was a fraud. And 1t has taken the past ten years to eradicate that idea, traces of which still to be found here and there throughout the Territory.
 Col w B Greeley as United States Forester, visited here in 1920 and, viewing conditions at first hand, on his initiative created the Alaska district Since that time steady progress has been noted in every industry in which utili-

The Nations Pension System.
(NeW York World,)

As was to be expected, the first official figures on the operation of the new disability pension act indicate that the original estimates of it's cost were much too low. When it was being debated early last July some Congressmen spoke of 10000 or &C., Veterans Bureau who took 8 more realistic view said on July that he expected 100000 veterans would become benefciaries within one year.
 It is now disclosed by the Veterans Bureau that more than 100000 applications have been re- ceved at field stations that 80000 have been ad indicated and that Al 900 have already been allowed At this rate, adjudication of the applications already filed will place more than 130000 veterans on the pension rolls. But the law is only five months old and applications will continue to in stead fly. The current depression and unemployment are certain to swell the list National Commander Bodenhamer of the American Legion estimated last summer that 100000 would qualify as bene- ficiaries and his guess may well prove the nearest right.
 All this it must be remembered is only be- ginning No thinks of objecting to pensions for service disabilities if the disability ap- pears many years after the ended Liberal ity in this is a national duty. But President Hoover's surrender principle last July resulted in the grant of pensions for civil disabilities as well Any veteran who does not pay an income tax and is disabled 25 per cent or more in degree, though his malady arose in civil life may go on the rolls As our army of service grows older with the inevitable increase in disease, the cost will rapidly rise It is greater now than we supposed What will it be few years hence?

1t has landing speed of more than
one hundred miles an hour and the
Marine pilot found dificulty in even
setting it down on. the commodious
Roosevelt Field. On the other hand,
Capt. Hawks, who flies as a civilian, will
pilot his Mystery s in which he recently
meteored across the country. This
plane, of much less horsepower than the
service entries, is almost identical with
that which so easily won the race last
year, except that improvements in
streanliRing and additional horse
power give far greater velocity through
the air
While it is not possible that the maxi
mum speed of any plane will be chalked
up as the speed of the winner, because
of the fact that the race is a TRAN
gular affair nesessitating the rounding
of pylonS which materially reduce the
time that can be made on a straight

new record will be established. Great
progress in speed has been made during

most skillful pilots competing, old rec
ords are apt to be replaced by new and
very high ones.

Franco-Ge Ruction.

Leagues and Locarnos to the contrary
notwithstanding, Franco-Germ con-
troversy and mutual suspicion seem
eternal. Paris now rumbles with sug-
gestions that Premier Tardieu has be-
come impatient with the Germanophile
tendencies of his foreign minister, Arts
tide BRAND, and is minded to put an
end to the conciliatory policy which in
spires the veteran of the Quai dOrsay
AS token Of the stronger hand Tar
dieu would employ, he is credited with
the intention of himself playing the
first violin in the French delegation at
the September meeting of the League
Assembly and assigning BRAND the sec
ond fiddle at Geneva. To emphasize
the import of Brands demotion, the
premier proposes to take to the As
sembly, as an additional French dele
gate his Nationalist minister of war
Andre Maginot. A Observation-Disclosures
dominated representation in Geneva
would rather efTectually dim the glory
Of M. BRAND. come armed with his
pacificatory plan for a United States
Of Europe.
1t is Germanys proclaimed attitude
toward European federation that has
apparently brought new aSperity into
her always sensitive relations with
France. Berlin aSsented to the BRAND
scheme in principle, but accumulated
the Germans desire, amounting to de-
mand, for sweeping revision of the
treaty Of Versailles. Italy, Hungary
and Russia are counted among the re-
visionists, who may well, some day, ele-
vate their program to the level of a
paramount, If not perilous, European
issue.
Within the past few weeks DR.. Gott-
fried Treviranus, German minister of
occupied territories, set forth the
Reieh's claim for Versailles revision in
categorical terms. 1t was not pro-
nouncement designed to popularize NJ.
Brands peace moves in France. In
deed, DR.. Treviranus' outburst forth
with led to violent attack on the for
eign minister from the Nationalist
camp, which claims the allegiance of
M. Tardieu. BRAND was roundly blamed
for the recrudescence of German dis
content with the new map of Europe"
The Germans go to the polls in mid
September to vote or withhold conf |
dence in the Hindenburg governments
fiscal policies. If there is a visible Ma
tionalist scoring at the German cleo
lions, which happen to anticipate the
League Assembly by only few days, I
the French will in all likelihood pitch
things in firm key at Geneva. If the
BRAND plans for less warlike Eu-
rope miscarry in consequence, aggra-
waited tension is bound TO be the highly
undesirable repercussion and at mo-
ment when the Old Worlds grave eco
nomic conditions clamor for political
tranquility.
