Fossil "Hunting Ground"

The single district where more
different types of fossil remains
have been found than any other is
the district within the city limits of
Los Angeles. Calf. known as La
Brea Pits. LaBrqa is a Spanish
word meaning "the tar" and these
pbs are so called because of q
large yield Of tar which comes from
them. in which the remains of q
large number of prehistoric animals
we're imbedded. Apparently the tar
insnared these animals at the time
il was formed and the bones are in
a remarkable state of preservation
in many cases.

Ever since Monroe's banks closed in April 1880,

Thomas H. Franks. local attor-
nev who has mailed the following
message to congressional repre-
sentatives from North Carolina
representing this district with rel
erence to hoped for governmental
economies. has provided The
Times-News with this identlc
copy:
Dear Sir: ~,
Please permit me to urge that
it is extremely important, IN my
opinion. for congress to grant
President Roosevelt the powers
which he has asked. Of course re-
cipients of government salaries
and gratuities: or at least many
of them, will raise a terrible howl,
but in my opinion if congress IS
now unable to resist the pleas OF
the selfish and unpatriotic MINOR
ties. then our present political and
economic order is near its end.
Now it is an absurd claim that
expenses cannot be reduced. Only
few years ago the expenses
were very much less. Practically
all of our people except recipients
of taxes have to get on now with
very much less money than few
wears ago. In millions Of cases
thew are having to get on with
much less than half what they re-
garded as being necessary a lew
wears ago. Now if a business or
professional man who formerly
received five thousand dollars a
wear now finds it necessary to get
along with two thousand dollars,
and if a laboring man who for
merly received twelve hundred
dollars a year now must live on
six hundred a year or less, then
whv cannot the people who re-
ceiVe government checks get
along with substantially reduced
incomes? And will you please par
don me if I venture to suggest
that the people, including sena-
tors and congressman, who have
been getting their checks regu-
larly and whose checks will pur-
chase more now than few years
ago are not in position to fully
appreciate how millions of people
in this country feel at the present
time.
Personally, I am not afraid of
power in the hands Of President
| Roosevelt but frankly I am very
much concerned over the question
whether congress has the sense
and the patriotism to rise to the
occasion. / certainly hope con-
gress will speedily grant to Presi-
dent Roosevelt the necessary au-
thority to handle the situation
and then adjourn.
Very truly yours,
THOS. H. FRANKS.

LETTERS TO

Editor. Times-News:
While we have had south ana
northbound traffic both almost
every hour over U. S. 25 this win
ter, the greatest number OF tour
lists move more like the coming
and going of birds which arrive,
or seem to quietly disappear al
most overnight.
This year should we take into
consideration events along U. ;;
25, our northbound traffic will
show a good volume by April 9th
TO 9Th. less than four weeks from
now. Some of these will no doubt
want to see the Great Smoky
Mountain National Park.
The Kentucky race card season
opening at Lexington on April 8,
and the Tryon horse show April

.pected attendance.

mer or spring when visitors come

PRISON GOODS
BAN MAY LEAD.
To RIOTS

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. j., Oct.
13 G.N.S).-Depriving American
pentitentiaries Of an outlet for
their prison-made products by
Congress, legislatures, the NRA or
by an orginized labor, will cause
serious mutinies among prisoners
and will be responsible for many
prison riots, according to Col.
John j. Hannah, president of the
Wisconsin State Board of Con-
troll, who addressed the American
Prison Association at it's sixty
third annual convention today.
Hannah declared:
"IdleneSs and absence Of pro-
ductive activity break the
spirit and destroy the morale
Of prisoners. Provisions in
many codes presented to the
NRA would close every prison
industry except such as are de-
voted solely to State use. Out
side of safeguarding society
temporarily there is no benefit
to the State in merely incar-
Cerating its lawbreakerS."

Ones Get Through.

The National Recovery Administration
has received 600 to TOO wage and hour
fixing codes of fair practice, submitted
by as many industrial groups, but only
twoscore have been allowed to become
public.
Here is the reason, as explained by
John M. Hancock, executive officer Of
the N. r. A:
Once a code Is received, q study is
made to determine whether the associ-
alton representing 1t is representative.
II 1t Is. code analyst" examines the
associations bylaws and regulations to
see there are no inequitable restrictions

Another analyst then examines the
code to see If 1t guarantees collective

policy. The latter examiner drafts q
letter suggesting changes. The letter
must be approved by control divi-
sion." whereupon 1t is sent to the trade
association in question, with copies to
advisory boards. legal, planning and re-
search divisions. Then follow confer
ences with deputy administrators, ad-
visers and analysts. When all is done,
the code is ready for public hearing.
While this Is in progress strict secrecy
prevails.
