shington-There's Q wide split In the department of agriculture which may develop sensationally. Profits of the middleman, return to the farmer and price to the con- sumner represent the issue. Assistant Secretary Rexford G. Tugwell and Chief Counsel Jerome Frank of the agricultural adjust ment administration head the group of liberals which is primarily con- cerned with producer and consum- CT and hopes 1t can squeeze excess profits from the spread" of the distributor and f1nancers. On the other side are Adminis- trator George N. Peek, Co-Adminr istrator Charles J. Brand and Dairy Section Chief Clyde King of the AAA, who aren't so excited about those aims.
 Fight Centers On Milk. Milk is now the crux of the fight. The first group seeks a na- tional minimum price for dairy farmers and a maximum for con- sumers and subsequent concentra- ton o nthe Spread"
 Brand, who retains his post with the National Fertilizer association. and Dr King, who is charged with playing too closely with distribu- tors, are special targets of the lib- eral group.
 Peek, who failed to loom as large as Hugh Johnson of NRA when Secretary Wallace firmly seized the AAA reins, tried to get Fred Lee, former farmer lobbyist, as his general counsel and was forced to take Frank. Lee now operates in Peek's office. Frank, a liberal who wrote Law and the Modern Mind" to analyze the conservatism of the law, was on the Yale Law School faculty. He was one of a group of lawyers urged for key jobs here by Prof. Felix Frankfurter of Harvard.
 Secretary Wallace seeks to keep peace. If he doesn't succeed, resig- nations will be likely. |

There were only few changes made in the laws governing the shooting of water fowl for the approaching season. It will last 60 days in every state by federal de- cree: no brant can be shot along the Atlan- tic coast; the eackling goose is restored to the open shooting list There is also a slight reduction in the bag limit which probably won't affect many local hunters. In this state the season extends from October l6 to December l5. The bag limit on ducks is l2 in the aggregate with special bag limit of five elder ducks and eight can- vasbaek redheads staups. rihgnecks. teals,i shovelers, and gadwalls

Connecticut. Dear Sir:
 I am enclosing herewith @ copy of an open letter which 1 have had occasion to address to the Honor able Francis w. Hogan of Torring.. ton. l believe. that you may find 1t of interest to your readers.
 Very truly yours,
 Charles Ralph Newton Honorable Francis w. Hogan, Torrington, Connecticut.
 My dear sir:
 I have had directed to me a newspaper account of Q talk re. gently dellxered by you to the members of the Civilian Con- servation Corps at Camp Roberts in Thomaston in the course of which you are said to have ate tackled the Honorable Edward W. Goss of Waterbury for cer. tain derogat0ry statements which you allege Mir Goss made In ad- dressing members of the Reserve Officers Association of the United States at Mount Carmel, Connecticut, in June.
 It is alleged that you accused Mir Goss of declaring "that the reforestation program is a fall' ure, that many of the men in the service are undesirable citizens and that at some of the camps the foresters are causing terror in neighbOring communities with various sorts of hOodlumism."
 It is hard to believe that, even through misinterpretati0n, MT Goss's remarks could be deemed to have had such purport. The deed, so irreconciliable with the actual statements is your version as to lead one to the conclusion that you have accepted hearsay from an informant himself ili- informed and have based your harangue segressively thereon.
 Were you present on the oc- casion of Mir Goss's disputed ad- dress? I think not. I was offi- cially present, and as recall the attendance 1t resolved itself into certain definite groups; Mir Goss, the Honorable Francis T. Mai- oney, and certain high-ranking officers of the army constituted the first group; the second was composed of the membership or

The Price Of Happy Marriage

Those unsavory court proceedings at Los Angeles, where the law tried to find out whether former movie star did or did not swipc young woman's husband, are just about entitled to rank as the most depressing news of the year. That's not so much be- cause the details were unusually salacious. They weren't; they were probably milder than is usual in case of this kind It's just that the whole business displayed such a lamentable miseoneeption of the marriage relationship, such a complete failure to comprehend the philosophy that must under lie any successful marriage. People have been handing down advice on marriage for a good many centuries, now. and the thing has been discussed more freely and fre- fore. But still the world seems to be full of people who just don't get the idea.
 It happens over and over. A man and a woman fall in love, get married, and wait for life to bring them placid happy-ever- after continuity. Then, pretty soon, he starts fitting about with some other woman. or she begins to tag around with some other man, and the fat is in the fire. There are tears. accusations angry scenes-and pretty soon the divorce courts have another job. not infrequently of the sort that has to be handled with pitehforks. Most of this. probably. could be avoided if young hus- bands and wives could only realize that there isn't any easy recipe for the happy ever-after business. Marriages aren't made that way. They are built up on dsillu- sionment and sorrow. as often as not, and you have to work with all your soul for the rewards that successful marriage offers.
 There are bound to be times when wife feels her husband is stupid. obtuse and thoughtless brute: there are bound to be times when husband feels that his wife is fIiehty and unreasonable. But what of itl Human nature is imperfect. and it probably always will be. The price of successful marriage is forebearanee and forgiveness and . determination to make a go of it. But so many people won't realize that. They expect marriage to be one long idyll. It isn't; it never has been and it never will be: but when they find that out they cry to heaven hat they have been shamefuily used. instead of sritting their teeth and pitching in to make success of 1t anyway.

To-day's Selected Poem,
SUNBURNED PEARS

(Marion Steward in The New York Times) They blush not as the apples do. these pears Before the fiery, brazen sun that stares All summer at their shapely loveliness. The peach glows prettily at his caress: The plums turn purple in their foliage. The grapes as well-is it in scorn rage? Tomatoes flame with fury from the vine: Some berries turn as red as lips or wine, While other biacken quickly. angrily- Enamerd fruits the bold sun laughs to see! But pears-the hardy kind. so shapely. brown, All feel his warmth. and cheriEh it deep down; Responding not with quick resentfui red. They bronze theIr skins and warm their hearts
 instead.
 Like swimners unashamed, these bronzy pears Must cause thA aun te praise tham as he starcs

A Fight On Our Hands

President Franklin D. Roosevelt is vitally interested in reforestaton. He more than proved that by his hearty endorsement of the Civilian Conservation Corps which has placed thousands of unemployed youths in camps around the country Regarded as somewhat of joke when first suggested, the CCC is proving to be the star attraction of the New Deal. It has provided helpful employment to many young boys who by their very idleness would constitute a serious menace to community. It is going to provide states with the man power they have needed for some time in retaining waste lands and checking forest denudation.
 For some time it has been apparent to us that eventually this nation will have to redoublc its efforts to prevent our trees and our crops from the encroaehment of the numerous insect armies and diseases that in- fest the earth, How many years ago was it that we seldom if ever heard of anything more threatening than a potato buzz To- day we have everything from Egyptian scarabs down to Mexican bean beetles. It's odd, too, that most of these pests now bus ily engaged in destroying our crops are mod. flied by adjeetives whose derivation usually seems to come from a foreign eountry-to with, the Japanese beetle, Mexican beetle, Dutch elm disease.
 We'd like to enumerate the increasing number of diseases to which our native crops and trees are now heir, but it would be $ impossible for us to gather an accurate list. Suffice it to say, though. almost every spe- eiss of native tree is now subject to disease oe blight of some sort. It started with the chestnut some 20 years ago. New England and other northeasaern sections of the United States have no more ehestnuts unless 1t IS new growth that has proved blight-resistant for a short timc White pine blister rust is rrevalcnt, threatening stands of virgin tim bcr The ems now must be watched for a new disease, as must also our red pines for the European pine shoot moth. endan- aering 10000 red pines right in our own state.
 To combat all these new pestilences which are striking at our natural earth covering. we must enlist many workers and an enorm- ous sum of money. Nothing would reflect with more credit upon the Roosevelt ad- nnistration than successful solution of this problem. It is being met in some part by the members of the CCC, but this force is puny compared to the army that must event. ually take the field to permit our fair lands to continue to raise lcafy arms to the skies. Picture a desolate country stripped of all vegetation and where stable crops cannot be grown. That's a possibility We think it's time to appropriate millions, billions. . if necessary, to outfit huge army to go into the field against mankinds most im- plaeable foe.

 Letter
By THOMAS B. MORGAN United Press Stan Correspondent

Rome, (UP) - Mussolini easily can claim to be the most versatile statesman in the world. He could make a living as Q bricklayer, ex- pert farmland, newspaper man, novelist, playwright, musician, chauffeur, school teacher, black smith, and even as soldier.
 He has done all these jobs and done them for a living. It is one of his produest achievements to be able to work with his hands, and he never lets a visit to fac- tory, or farm, pass without trying his hand at his old trades.
 As bricklayer, he takes the trowel whenever there is cor nerstone to be laid. His is not the ceremonial laying, but that of an expert bricklayer. He wields 1t with a skilled hand.
 Worked as Thresher
 His recent visits to the Pontine marshes found him climbing on the threshing machine. Some times he takes hand in running the levers, but more often he stands on the feeding platform and feeds in the grain. This re- quires no small amount of skill as it is necessary to feed the ma chine with evenness and straight | ness.
 His reputation as a newspaper man goes back many years. and outside of being dictator and world statesman probably Is tho first profession in his heart. Il was in this that he launched intt his political career.
 He has earned a living at being a. novelist and wrote pot boilers for a newspaper in Trent 25 year. ago. He has written plays ant could certainly qualify as a violin ist. He can play even the mos difficult classical music.
 Drives Own Auto
 He drives his own car wheI he takes q trip into the countr, and Is never satisfied unless h is making over 60 miles an hour
 In athletics he can fence, swim box, wrestie, shoot, hunt and row He was sonce out at the sol course where he watched Gem sarazen and Johnny Farrell pu a. sss. aanaclally Ice hina. 1.

Who said life in the Conservation camps wasn't exciting? Why up in Camp Walcott, which is at Burrville. some of the boys re- gently made an important discovery from a purely scientific point of view. Embedded in rocks they found what are believed to be the tracks of some prehistoric monster. The marks are quite diseernible in the bare ledge and may ultimately lead to further investi- gation if the proper parties are interested in tracing down the markings.
