WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from Page ~

The dopesters say that he would
ALLEVIATE the potential support from
the Republican rebels who would 60
any length as anti-Hooverites. except
to change their ideas about the
League of Nations. Roosevelt, they
say in a confidential tone, is not liked
by the folks listed as campaign con-
tributors because of his policies on
power and other issues, but the South
and Western contingents favoring the
New Yorker partly balance the scales.
Opinions are freely given regarding
personalities but they are not so sure
of issues.
Kindergartens will not be so num-
erous within the next decade. The
Federal Bureau of Education takes
Census records to show there will be
appreciable decrease in first-grade
enrollments within the next ten years
unless the trend stops" In 1880 there
were 12S,S4O fewer children under five
years of age than in 1920. On the
other hand, methods have been
devised to keep youngsters in school
and reduce their competition with
adults in the employment market.
Estimates show that the increased
holding power of schools during the
last ten years gave 100000 boys and
girls 16 to II years of age more
schooling.
The Senate Committee considering
LaFOllette's proposals for direct gov
ernmental aid in unemployment re-
lief is expected to submit a report
shortly. The signs point to long
and sharp debate on the relative eff
fectiveness of private and government
relief methods. The Senate and House
iciary committees are going
through the motions of considering
wet" and "dry" bills, which it is
generally predicted will not be passed
at this session. A more intensive in
quiry into banking methods will prob
ably be authorized soon as Congress
is not at all clear on causes and eff
fects. Industry and finance would like
to see the hearings concluded at an
early date. Business will not pick up
with uncertainty as to Congressional
action hanging like dark cloud.

GustafsOn Retires.
Captain Gustaf Gustafson of the
Boston police department has retired
in accordance with the old-age regu-
lations of the service; he came from
Sweden in 1891, and two years later
was appointed patrolman in Boston;
during the next few years he was pro-
noted time and again, finally becom-
ing a captain. Mr.. Gustafson has be-
come widely known as finger-print
expert and himself has made valu-
able contributions to the Bertillon
system now generally used by the
police in large American cities.
Hamsun Pities Them.
Through Norwegian-American
news service, Knut Hamsun, world
famous Norwegian writer, winner of
the literary Nobel prize, etc, sends
the following New Years message to
his compatriots in America: 81 pity
all Observation-Disclosures of the first
generation. Just now it may not be
much better to stay in Norway than
in the United States and Canada, but
Norway is home, no matter what you
say. That means something for the
roots which the Norwegian tore out
from the soil of his native country
when he left for America. pity
