Special Dispatch to The Star.
z LOS ANGELES, July 13 (N.A.N.A).-
So successful was CALIFORNIA; expert
Inent of last Winter in establishing
State work camps for the unemployed
that a recommendation has been made
to Gov. Rolph that S5Oo,O0o be set
aside for the operation of such camps
next Winter Action on the recon-
mendation is expected to be taken by
the Governor shortly.
The State work camp, briefly, is a
place to which unemployed men are
sent if they are willing to work in ex-
change for three good meals per day
and a place to sleep. Last Winter there
were two types OF camps: forestry and
State highway camps. The work was
practically all hand work with pick
shovel and rake The bulk of the labor
was in building roads and fire trails and
clearing firebreakS in the mountain
areas, for the forestry camps, and road
construction work on the desert and in
outlying communities for the highway
camps.
Handled as Humans.
The camps were set up to take care
particularly of the transient unem-
plOyed who were not eligible to receive
county aid the law requiring qualifica-
tionS as to residence. However, num-
Der of residents went to the work camps.
A large factor making for the success
OF the camps was the morale MAIN
tanned, due to the type of men placed
in charge. The men were handled as
/, human beings. They were not pampered
| nor were they driven or bounded. They
J worked six hours a day three in the
morning and three in the afternoon.
They received no pay for their work.
The food was excellent and well served.
In some cases the State let con-
tracts for housing and feeding the men.
only experienced and reliable companies
being considered. Tents and tent houses
were supplied. Location of the camps
was determined largely by climatic con-
ditions. mildness of climate permitting
establishment of more camps in the

OCEAN PLANE SERVICE
IS HELD PRACTICABLE
Harold Gatty Returns From Rome
Conference to Duty at Boil
ing Field.

Regular transatlantic airlane service
is practicable today, in the opinion Of
Harold Gatty. hero of the record world
flight with Wiley Post, who returned to
duty yesterday at Boiling Field after
attending the first International con-
ference of transoceanic aviators at
Rome
Though the conference failed to result
in the organization of a permanent
group. it resulted in the collection of
a mass of information which will be of
permanent benefit, Gatty believes. 1t
was agreed that the most practicable
air route between the United States and
Northern Europe is by way of Green
land. Iceland and the island groups
between Iceland and the mainland, he
said. This route now Is being developed
for transportation purposes by two
large American groups
Gatty expressed the hope the United

that similar camps operated next Win
ter will be even more successful due
to the experience gained.
The highway camps employed more
technical men to draft the work
which was of more precise character,
20 at one camp and Is at the other.
The forestry camps. operated by the
State Division Of Forestry, required
only two paid employees each. The
United States Forestry Service de-
tailed some 20 OF Its men to supervise
in the forestry camps.

of the business end of the camps COM
munities near camps took interest in
the welfare Of the men and did much
toward providing extra clothing to re-
place that worn out by the rough work.
The State furnished as many as
possible with heavy socks, work shoes
and a suit of underwear. Many OF
the men early in the program COM
planned because work clothes were not
furnished. A lot of them were from
the East, white-collared men, whose
business clothes did not last long IN

Camp rules were set up and observed.

At the highway camps far out on
the desert member of the State police
was detailed, more for the moral erect
than anything else. But he was OF the
aood-fellow type and usually took
charge of the athletic activities. he
promoted the boxing matches in camp
and then took his champions TO tne
nearest town to compete with the local
prides. Recreation for leisure hours
was real problem that had to be
handled in order to keep the men
from sitting around incoming ana
worrying.
Men Desire Compensation.
The men felt that they ought TO
receive a little compensation for their
work The officials sympathized with
that view, but it was a case OF doing
most with the money at hand. If pay
were given for work, the number OF
men who could receive food and hous-
ing would have been cut down tre-
mendously.
There was another point. If pay
were given there would be the con-
