He Has No Problems

It is rather refreshing in these troublous times to find Ras Desta Demtu. prince of the royal house of Abyssina. son-n-law of Emperor Hailie Selassie = the Conquering Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Elect of God and the Light of the World - con- fessing to an ambition to establish an amuse- ment park in his far-off homeland. The prince came to America as the official envoy of his mueh-titled sovereign. and he did not take lightly his official duties. He called on President Roosevelt and dined in state at the White House. He met all sorts of notables and saw everything big and grand that America has to offer. including cathe drals. skyserapers and factories. But. he vas mostly interested in the Palisades amusement park in New York
 There the prince had good time. despite his dignity and his gorgeous raiment and his

THAT PARK PARKING FEE

(New Haven Journal Courier)
 Curious are the ways of pubic psychology, and never more curi- Ous than in the present uproar over parking charges in some of the state parks. One would sup pose to hear the fulminations in high places that a, revolutionary new program had been adopted by the State Park and Forestry com mission. The parking charge is referred to as a species of high tyranny imposed by bureaucrats lusting for the substance of the poor and intent upon despoiling the people of their birthright. In- yestigations by the governor are solemply suggested dnd the whole tone suggests capital crime has been uncovered.
 A calmer view, of course, would begin with, the suspicion that a little self-support on the part of such free agencies would do no harm to the state treasury. If the park and forestry commission has found a way to put some of it's i'm mense investment on 2 partial self supporting basis. very few realists will object. This is a time of uni yersal fiscal strfngency. Govern ments are requiring more and more of those who support them; as a general principle those of their services which bring return are to be welcomed, not condemned . Charges must not be prohibitory | of, course, and judgment is required as to what items shall bear them
 But the principle itself is unexcep- tionable. f,r 1

 fee has always been fin force al

shelter the men with buildings for eating quarters. Adequate barracks would be nec- esssry for such an army to weather the mild winters even that this state has experienced of recent years. At first it was believed that the camps would be transferred to southern states Now State Forester Hawes thinks that perhaps the soldiers could do plenty of work right here. if their living quarters were ok. Of course. the camps are only scheduled for six months. but so much work has been accomplished it is believed they will be continued for another six month period at the very least.

A Book a Day
 by BRUCE CATION
The Rich History . of the Rio Grande

Those Europeans who say pity- ingly; that America is a land with out old traditions should read
 Harvey Fergusson's new book, "Rio Grande."
 In this book MT Ferguson de-
 scribes one of the most colorful
 and eventful pageants the history of any nation affords: the long
 record of human activity in the
 Rio Grande valley of New Mexico, where civilization has clustered about the painted mountains for
 unnumbered centuries. First there were the Indians plains Indians, robber bands which lived by pillage, more civilized folk of years before, Columbus came and who evolved a philosophy of life. an awareness of humanity's kin
 ship with nature, that still has rich values.
 Then came the Spaniards. hunt ing cities that never existed, look
 ing for gold and absent-mindedly founding an empire, transplanting
 a bit of medieval Spain to the
 heart of America, cruel and daring
 and credulous and proud.
 Finally come the Americans.
 They came over the mountains first
 as traders, then they came as in- vaders, and they took this out post of empire and made it their
 own. But the outlines of the, old
 order still survive, and furnish for
 the reviving life of the southwest
 a background of great color mad
 richness. MT Ferguson tells about all of
 this with uncommon skill. He
 makes te history of the region
 seem real and alive. and his DOT
 traits of the vivid personalities of
 the Rio Grande valley are unfor-
 gettably brilliant. All in all, "Rio
 Grande" is an exceptionally good
 book.

were not for the fact that as the
 force consists of one person he must have sufficient duties to keep
 him busy without listening to uR- official complaints. Still, 1t must occur to many person that some thing ought to be done. Hartford has seen heat waves before but as Q rule after three days of increas- ing heat in August one learns to expect a thundershower with much noise and electrical display, wind and rain, and then a day or so in which living conditions become toll erable but nothing of the sort has occurred as yet and the anniver- sary of the Wallingford tornado is August 9, not so far away.
 But we have hopes. Some of us are bound to- outlive this infifction of heat without rain and decline to cooler conditions. It is unwel- come and unpleasant, but if we know :aught about the New Eng land climate 1t is bound to change shortly. We feel moderately sure that Connecticut will welcome the change.

The quarrying now. will stop. no morS scars will be dug into its charm. and all that remains Is to acquire several more pieces of the proper ty before permanent spreservatidn of all the mountain is assured. One most agreeable note. in the news of it is the belief that a good part of the harm that already has been done will before many years be covered over.with fresh growths of trees and shrubs. The people of this section. who ese the Giant more often than those from a dis tance, ought to be most grateful to the Sleeping Giant Park Asso- citation for it's constant .endeavor. and to those who have contributed financial support as we'll as time and effort to a fine objective.

 There will be no return to the old uncontrolled system, most everyone says. Whether the sum- mer recovery drive succeeds or fails, industry probably will be- come subject, to more control than the administration has yet propos- ed.

 The first step toward a planned economic system is restoration of emplowent, But MIRA officials look forward to controlmled, balanced production. Both production and prices ust be kept from gallop- ing ahead of buying power.
 Fascism? State capitalism ?, Lim- ited dividend corporations? Re- duced capitalization? How to. tie up monetary policy with the MIRA program? What controls will prevent another great crash one, three or five years after we're out of the present woods?
 Such questions are asked by the capitals best minds. Administra- tion- experts discuss them freely. They will suit their plans to de- velopments now unpredictable. Many Schemes Discussed

Mr.. Field Will arrive here tuesday
to look over his new properties. 1t
has been indicated that Ace Berry,
at present manager Of the Circle,
will be retained in some managerial
capacity. Before the Indiana closed,
he was general manager OF all the
properties of the Circle Theater
Company that leased the Circle and
Indiana to Katz and his associates.
If ability and past experiences
amount to anything my personal
opinion is that Berry should be re-
tanned. He is an experienced show
man from every viewpoint and above
all. know he is gentleman with
all of us who review shows.
The leasing of these two theaters
removes Leo M. Rappaport, Herman
Lieber and their associates from the
active management of local movie
theaters.
These gentlemen still own and
operate Englishs. Mr.. Lieber told
me that no definite date has been
set for the road show season at
English's, but that a number OF
bookings have been "penciled in"
Of course the booking map
changes over night and can make
no predictions but this I am sure OF
there will be more shows on tour
next season than in the last five
years.
Both Our Houses" the Pulitzer
prize winner. and Dinner at Eight"
should be available for Indianapolis.
