JUNGLE JIM" MACDONALD

(New Haven Journal.Courier.)
 A prophet is not without honor claims the proverb. save in his own land. Last week Connecticut pro- vidsd an exception proving the rule with the dedication of a monument and medallion portrait of James 1T. Uncle Jim" Macdonald as the icentra! figure of state park la- boiled with his name. New Haven gave him to the state, and his work as Connecticut's first state highway commissioner made him one of the first national prophets of the pres ent automobile era. His service be- gan in 1895 when the gas-buggy- was only dare-devirs plaything, when Henry Ford was tinkcying with bicycles, when the carriage driver uscd to climb out and turn away his steed'g head as one of the snorting, fum;ng. clanking mon- sters exploded past. His term end- ed in 1913 when the automobile was established as the conveyance of the future, when the tin lizzie was becoming proverbial. when cyl finders were increasing in number, when motorists were already CUTS ing horses as traffic nuisances and speed laws for the open road had leaped to twenty-miles per hour. And in that period he established himself as the fainter of American highways" and had been for many years president of the National Good Roads association.
 Perhaps the ceremony by which New Haven's Uncle Jim" was honored by his state last Wednes- day was not an exception to the prophet rule. For commissioner Mac Donald was more than a proph- ct; he was a builder. During his 18-year-term he pioneered in road construction. laid the foundation for Connecticut's present highway system. one of the finest in the na- ton. His influence was strong in the planning which led to the enor- mous network of hard-surfaced highways now connecting all sec- tions of the United States. It Is appropriate that the state park with It's monument stretches across the top of Avon mountain, mark ing the location of one of his most
 notable road-building achieve ments.

It was before the lo3l Legis- lature, but that body thought tax survey unealled for. We should be glad that there were sufficient members tc secure q reversal of opinion this year. It is kiyh time that the state secured more equitable distribution of the tax burden. It is eentered now, so that the property owner bears the greatest share.

 Washington.--Agents of NRA in the field privately report latest re- actions to the recovery campaign which may be summarized as fol- lows:
 People generally: Glad to pitch In, but dreading what may happen |if the program fails. Somewhat inclined to take the show in the spirit of a circus parade, despite their determination.
 Business: Intensely interested everywhere. but still fearful. A Substantial minority Is found in op. position or chiseling. The most pronounced fear of the majority Is that there won't be adequate en. forcement and that chiselers will be able to maintain unfair compe. tition. Some fear that the pro- gram is an entering wedge to an Unacceptable controlled society. Labor: With certain exceptions. slow to take advantage of It's op- portunity to organise and allow Ing business men and industrial ists to do all the planning. Just Grading Figures"
 The blouse makers industry, un. able to agree with union leaders. presented code whose wage and working hour provisions caused Deputy Administrators Earl D. Howard to gasp.
 "You don't expect us to accept that, do you?" he demanded. "No," replied the spokesman, those are my trading figures" Tho hearing was promptly ad. journed for a week and the blous' makers were asked to reach an agreement meanwhile with the union.

Canada has her eross-eontinent trains. France has her continuous railroad line to the Orient. Russia has her Trans-Siberian ex- press across the vast Eurasian Continent to the Pacific. American railroads should show no less enterprise, even at the risk of dis pleasing cities which like to stop trains and delay through passengers for business reasons.

Berlin
 Letter
BY FREDERICK OECHsNEIt United Press Staff Correspondent )

Berlin - (UP) - With the re- cent dissolution of the auxiliary police in Prussia, the maintenance of public order and security was left, as before, solely in the hands of the regular police forces. made up of the Protective Police, the Administrative Police. the Crimi- nal Police, and the newly organ ized State Secret Police.
 A source of Ncontention at the Disarmament Conference, and subject to constant suspicion by several foreign powers, the aux Hilary police (made up of Nazi stormtroopers, elite stormtroopers, and Stahlhelmers) had been ap- pointed early in the hectic days of March to supplement the reg ulars.
 Police Control
 Likewise, early in the Nazi revo- lution, the commissars appointed to the several states were given immediate control over the police. The commissars were subsequent ly withdrawn. and police control was passed over to the Ministers of Interior under the supervision of the Nazi governors (Stathal- ter).
 Thus, the police today are com pleteiy sNax,fied. and the govern ment has no occasion to doubt their loyalty. The divers branches have been coordinated so as tc assure the greatest protection Of the Nazi state commensurate with a total police force of lB0.000 allowed by the Treaty of Yer

SPECIAL ASSEMBLY, SESSION
 TO BE AVOIDED
lNew Haven Registerl


 Governor Cross Is most sensi- ble in his stand of wanting to avoid an extra session of the Legislature which is being re- quested on the points of the Home Loan mortgage bonds. ci the municipal borrowing from Federal fands and of the Merritt Highway financing. Hes sis ast.ng wisely in insisting that necessity should be shown before there is any call sent out. Ftf
 So far as the issue of the homo loan bonds and the banks is con- cerncd, the opinion already has been shown to be that the banks can accept the bonds if they think 1t Is in their own customers .n- tcrests. Legislation could hardly so farther than that: 1t could harly compel them to take then, against their own wishes any mors than it could any other investment.
 On the point, of the municipai borrowing, the State Relief Com missio nalready has power to per- init borrowing in excess of pervail- ing limits where t Is shown to be positively necessary. What more legislation could do on this point is question, unless there is an idea that the heart of the whole system of statutory bonding limits could be cut out and the Stats abandon control of it ssteD-chil- dren. Certainly no such develop ment' IS on the way here.
 On the Merritt Highway point, the Governor recalled that the thing was dropped in the last sses- sion because it was State. bond issue proposition, with increased State taxation. He remarked that perhaps sentiment has since changed" Knowing that the State is now faced with the need of borrowing in anticipation of taxes because it's cash is running out. at least one good cause for no change in sentiment on fur' ther large expenses ought to be evident.
 Further counsel is being waited on. in regard to these specifit items. As they stand. the neet for a cali is not evident for q spe' cial session on them, much lesl the desire for general reopeninf of Legislation to jam things up. good respite 10 ra while from fur ther legisiation can do . good dea toward preventing more unsettie ment than there is now. lt is goos that there is an executive attitud' that win preserve the present yaea ton from more legisiating.

According to I. B. Newton, Federal
Reserve Agent, of San Francisco,
Twelfth District industry and trade
seasonally adjusted measures OF
increased further during June, and in
number of cases Widened their mar
gin over corresponding levels In 1882.
The number Of industrial workers en-
ployed increased more than seasonally.
Payrolls also increased, and by prop,
ortionately larger amount, indicating
reduction in part-time work as well as
in unemployment. Wholesale quotations
for commodities important in this dis
trict shared in the continued advance
in prices during June and the first hall
of July.
Condition of crops and livestock did
not change appreciably during June,
remaining somewhat less favorable
than a year earlier. Production est1-
mates as of July / indicate that output
of many of the districts crops will be
larger this year than last, but since
number of the more important crops
showed decreases it is probable that IN
the aggregate harvests will be some
