To administer these l.3OO
camps in which nearly 3Oo,-
900 jobless Americans WILL
as President Roosevelt prom
ised, find again "the JOY
and moral stimulation OF
work." will require the ser
vices Of four and five thou

officers of the Regular
Army, several thousand re,
serve officers and several
hundred naval surgeons.
The Civilian Conservation
Corps will cost the Federal II
Government money. 1t Will

these camps in which the ne
volunteers of this corps Will
find honest work will con-
serve not only American

The Army Turns
The Tide

Thanks to the vision Of
the President, the brilliance
of his initial battle orders
and the enthusiasm and abil-
ity with which these orders
are being executed, this
emergency force-the Civil
ian Conservation Corps -
will have a field strength
by July l Of 275,OOO.
And when the next Fourth
Of July dawns, these volun-
teers in the President s war
against unemployment will
raise the flag Of our country
over 1850 new outposts-
north, east, south, and west.
One of the reasons why
the last administration made
such an abysmal failure in
dealing with unemployment
was due to its refusal to
utilize what is left Of our
dwindling Regular Army
as a relief agency. In nearly
every other national emer-
gencv in the past, the Pres
ident called upon the Secre-
tary of War for assistance.
The Secretary Of War,
with the aid of the chief
of staff, was able immedl-
ately, through the corps
area commanders, to enlist
the cooperation of the gov
ernors of the several States.
And in this way the forces
of the Federal Government,
supported by the forces of
the several States, met the
challenge Of past emer-
gencies swiftly and effec-
lively.
By reversing the policy Of
it's predecessor and revivlng
our traditional national pol
icy of utilizing our national
defense forces in time OF
national peril, the Roosevelt
administration has made
more headway in reducing
unemployment and relieving
it's distress in three months
than the preceding admins
tration was able to achieve
in nearly three years.
The Washington times., 1933-05-23

Of the manifold and diff
cult tasks upon which the
Roos cit administration
has entered with such en-
ergy, the one closest to the
heart of the President is
that of putting the self
respecting millions of his
fellow citizens in the way OF
finding the honest work
they yearn for but have
thus far sought in vain.
True to the promise of his
inspiring inaugural address,
our constitutional Com
manderin-C Chief is treating
this, the "greatest primary
task" of his administration,
as he would "the emergency
of war" He did not wait for
Congress to adopt his pro-
gram of public works, which
will presently provide en-
ployment directly and in
directly for hundreds of
thousands. He did not wait
for his economic legislation
to speed up the wheels OF
industry and commerce, in
crease commodity prices and
thereby enable other hun
dreds of thousands to re-
turn to work.
AS "the emergency of
war" might require, the
Commander-in-C ordered
the immediate mobilization
of an emergency force to
attack the enemy of unem-
ployment on a front as
broad as the nation.
The Washington times., 1933-05-23
Obedience to Rules
Is Necessary

In addition, the command
of each forest camp is en-
trusted to trained and COM
petent officers of the Regu-
lar Army. The system for
the conduct of these camps
has been most carefully de-
veloped. The volunteers are
assembled by the camp COM
mander every weekday
morning and turned over to
the technical foremen Of the
Forestry Service who have
charge of the groups
throughout the working
hours of each day.
When they return to camp
in the evening, the COM
manding officer is response
BILE for them until the next
days work begins. Having
signed up an agreement to
work for the Federal Gov
ernment in the forests at a
modest wage, the men are
required to obey the normal
rules and regulations that
govern each camp. They
are not subject to court
martial, however, Or to the
military regula a t i rs to
which our defenders with
the colors are subject.
A conservation volunteer
who habitually disobeys
regulations violates his
agreement by so doing and
is sent home. Thus far the
number of men it has been
necessary to discharge has
been extremely small. Most
Of the men enrolled have
long been out of, work and
are eager to get the en-
ployment that these camps
afford.
Upon his return from a
recent inspection of some OF
the assembly camps at which
the volunteers are being
conditioned for refOresta-
ton work, General MacAr-
thur gave to a House COM
mittee, which solicited his
opinion, an enthusiastic IN
dorsement of the Civilian
Conservation Corps. He COM
mended it as a practical
agency for attaining the
aims set forth in the Prcsl-
dents inaugural-to provide
in this way for immediate
employment of several hun
dred thousand men VINO
urgently need work and TO
get work done in our forests
that urgently needs to be
done.

But what gives depth to

What can give YOU the Joy
that you want so furiouSly?
Can you find it by going

No; you've tried that, and for
a while it was fun. But so
soon it passed, like a picture

the most exciting memory does
not thrill you. All those
things you saw, wonderful
though they were, did nothing

Can you deepen life, then,

No; you've tried that, too.

NAVY
 BALLOOMST IS GOING HIGH UP
Lieut. Commander Settle Expects to Reach Height of 5000 Feet in Science Test

Chicago. July 26 - (UP) - An ascent into the stratosphere may be attempted tonight if favorable weather conditions continue to- spread over the central west.
 Scientific preparations for the flight were completed today when the weather bureau reported that. meteorological conditions were clearing.
 Lieutenant-C Commander T. c. W. Settle. veteran United States Navy baloonist, will make the ascent alone. Previously 1t was planned that Jean Piccard. who directed the first flight into space above. the atmosphere, would accompany him.
 pr Piccard, however, will act asl ground pilot. He directed install iation of scientific instruments which. it Is expected, will obtain data to prove one of two opposing theories on the cosmic ray.
 Lieutenant Settle hopes to ascent higher than 53,000 feet, slightly more than 10 miles. At that height the temperature will be about 70 degrees below zero and, because of the rarified conditions. air pres- sure on the inside of the seven foot gondola will be nine pounds greater than on, the outside.
 If the ascent is started tonight, Lieutenant Settle will go up to an altitude of about 1,500 feet and remain in a strata of cold air on the surface and warm air aloft.

Incidents of Fosters Life
 Dramaiized Radio Series

Incidents that inspired stephen Fosters first published song will be portrayed in a special radio drama, tixation tonight, over a National Broadcasting company network. The program will be one of the series on the 'Iife and Music of Stephen Foster which is being presented to NEG. audiences each week by John Tasker Howard, not ed musician, composer and biog- rapher of America's greatest ex- ponent of folk music.
 The song, "Opeh Thy Lattice. Love-" was dedicated to Susan Pentland, who lived next door to the Fosters, and was published in Philadelphia in 1844, when stephen was IS. The words were by George Morris, author of the famous poem. "Woodman, Spare That Tree" and a previous musical set- ting for them had been written by Joseph P. Knight, composer of Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" In the July 26 program, which will be broadcast over an NBC-WEAF network at 8:30 p. rn.. E.D.S.T., Howard will present both numbers-Knight's and Fosters and the audience will be given an opportunity to judge their com parative merits.
 Other episodes in the program will furnish glimpse of Stephens home life, dominated by his father, William, an ardent temperance worker: and also of a secret or ganization, the Knights of s. IT," to which the boy belonged and for which many of his earlier songs were written.
 Howard has spent several years accommodating authentic data on the life and music of the great com poser. whcih he is now putting into biography soon to be published. It is from this material that the episodes in the NEG radio series are taken by Innis osborn, NEG staff writer, collaborating with Howard. Fosters music is used in each program, being sung and played by soloists, a quartet and a concert Qrchestra directed by Thomas Belvigo.

TWENTY-ONE NEW WARSHIP BIDS
 TO BE OPENED
Private Builders Have Made Their Offers and the Decision May Come in Few Days

Washington, July 26.-(UP)- Bids for construction of 21 war ships by private builders were to he opened by the navy today, a 37-ship program ex- pected to give employment to at least 18,400 shipyard workers.
 Never before had the navy on one day opened bids for building of so many new ships.
 President Roosevelt was expect ed momentarily to promulgate the code for the shipbuilding and re- pairing industry, which will govern construction of the new vessels. It specifies 32-hour york week on the navy work and an average &C., hour week on all other jobs.
 The vessels to be constructed by private shipbuilders are two air craft carriers of 10000 tons: one heavy cruiser of, 10000 tons, armed with eight-inch guns; one light cruiser of 10000 tons, armed with six-inch guns; eight destroyer lead- CTS of 1850 tons; seven destroy CTS of 1,500 tons; and two subma- rines of 1,400 tons.
 Sixteen of the ships are to be WAtb AhVhCy lAOAL sAiO $238, 1000 set aside for naval construction from the public works fund. The heavy cruiser and four destroyer leaders are to be built with funds from the regular naval appropriation. The heavy cruiser was authorized in 1929, under terms of the London naval treaty but cannot be laid down until after January 1, 1884. Work on the others will proceed at once.
 A total of 32 vessels are to be built with the 238,000,000 fund. The remaining 16-threc light cruisers, nine 1.500-ton destroyers, two submarines and two gunboats
 will be constructed in govern ment yards.
 The construction program will extend over a three-year period. When completed 1t will bring the United States fleet within shooting distance of London treaty limits.

Improve Marketing

Comes Before Higher Prices for Motor Fuel, Says
 A.A A. Head

how extensively they will operate motor vehicles in the future, will of courBe. largely depend upon the prices through the application of his rule. If prices should be main tained at reasonable levels, our motor transport will continue 10 move on a large scale basis. But if gasoline prices are skyrocketed to new high levels, we may expect a steady decline in the use of mo- tor vehicles.
 At the present time. there seems to be no relation as between the price of gasoline at the point of production or refining and the price at the point at which the gasoline flows from the pump into the tank of the automobile. Prices change with rapidity within small areas where basic conditions, such as rentals and supply and demand. are the same.
 "on December 2s, 1882. accord ing to gasoline prices published in a prominent oil journal, motor fuel of the regular or straight run va- riety sold (without taxes) for 12 cents a gallon in Texas, Pennsyl- vania and Oklahoma. Yet in New York city, some distance from the producing fields, the price was only 10.5 cents. In the District of Co., lumbia, the price was 10.2 cents. In Missouri, the price was 2 cents. In Montana, Idaho and Nevada the price was IT cents. In my opinion, these figures speak for them selyes."

PRESIDENT HAS
 ENLISTED HELP
 OF GOVERNORS
Made Direct Appeal to Them as They Convened in Their Session at San Francisco
By FREDERICK A. STORM United Press Stan Corrcspondent)

By FhEDEkShCA As 8lOfkM
 United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Washington. July 26- UP)- Cooperation of state governors was enlisted by President Roosevelt to- day as the administration moved forward with it's far flung pro- gram to build the foundations of lasting prosperity.
 Following up his address to the nation appealing for United action by all in the drive to end unem- ployment, the president spoke to the governors in conference at San Francisco, pointing out the course to follow in the period of economic readjustment.
 T feel that one of the great problems before us is to adjust the balance between mutual state and federal undertakings to deter mine the joint responsibilities of many great tasks" he said.
 "I think we are making progress in this direction there are many problems that extend beyond the power so single states. I can use as illustrations two which happen to be in the foreground in Wash ington at this moment.
 "The problem of oil production. for example must be viewed and measured from the standpoint of the national total of 2 production and of consumption. But, in com ing to grips with the problem of limitation, the states have func- ton to perform which Is of great importance. I am happy that the oil producing states are cooperat- ing with each othr and wihet the federal government in this matter.
 Another problem is a consider ation of a wider and more effective use of the land over wide areas in such natural units as the Tennessee or the Arkansas or the Missouri or the Upper Mississippi Valleys here are problems where the in- dividual state and regional groups of states and the federal govern ment may well find possibilities of fruitful co-operation."
 MT Roosevelt invited the gover- nors to a conference here next winter and thanked them for backing him and his administra- tion in carrying out the recovery program.
 The president renewed his ap- peal for cooperation and accom- plishment in the direction of na- tional recovery. He said that 1t was his purpose to strengthen the bones between state and federal executive authorities.

Hides Used for
 New Auto Tops

Bates City, Mo-(UP)-Walter P. Miller, of this city, owns model T. Ford. Recently he needed a new top, but lacked the finances. He possessed several hides on his farm. and inasmuch as the hide market was low, decided to use them for the top.
 A black calf hide was placed on the front, tan COW hide on the rear, with sheepskin and pigskin being used literally. The machine has been dubbed, Robinson Cru soe's car"
 The hides are waterproof. Mill Ter admits, however, that warm weather produces a distinctive odor, but he manages to drive fast enough to dispel any such odors. {, More than 100000 private auto- mobiles are registered in the Lon- don area.
