That Ready Smile
Primo is still quite a hatless,
needless hero. He affects the
collegiAte as he is pursued by
crowds wherever he goes. He
dashed hither and thith er
around Washington on a fairly
cool day sans chapeau and with
his heavy suit of black hair
olive oiled down to his scalp.
He has a. smile for everyone
and a ready hand. Somebody
among his foreign and domestic
managers has taught him he
must be engaging to all who ap-
proach him. Thus his broad
grin is in contrast to his broad
shoulders.
The Tall Tower is quite the
most unusual champion we have
had, everything considered, and
judging from his heft and pro-
portions, he's going to be diff
ficult to uncroWn.
Building the Panama Canal
was a gigantic undertaking, so
was the Holland Tunnel, but un-
seating Primo Camera from the

more than a one-man job and

To Keep the Title
For LOng, LOng Time

To stand across the room
from Primo Carnera and sur.
vey his massive frame, vibrating
with youth and strength, you'd
swear he can be heavyweight
champion until he gets tired Of
the job and resigns undefeated.
The man is simply breath
taking, and an ordinary heavy
weight in the vicinity Of 200
pounds dwarfs to pigmy size,
compared to this Italian, with
his 270 pounds Of bone, flesh
and muscle.
He towers over normal peo-
pie like the giants you read
about in kid fairy books. He
caught Jack Sharkey last sum-
mer with one of those sweeping
chops and Jack went down as
though he we're a sparrow.

courage to get within reach Of

Fast of Foot
One Of the interesting things
about the recent royal visitor to
Washington concerns his shift
ness of foot Most big fighters
are clumsy, knowing not how
to step around in the ring, but
Primo, from his earliest appear
ances in American rings, has
glided around in fair style. He
was using his feet to advantage
long before he became in the
least adept with his hands.
Up at Congressman Fred
Britten's home on Sheridan Cir
Gle Saturday afternoon, where
Primo and his party stopped
for cocktails and to do a movie
short for the Pathe people,
Primo told his listeners that
the only thing he is afraid Of
when he gets in the ring is kill

is having a most helpful effect on
many lines Of business.
We believe we are obtaining what
might be termed double or triple
value for every relief dollar ex-
pended. Bringing the picture down
to an individual enrollee, here is what
emergency conservation work does:
For $500 we give boy job for six
months. We feed, clothe him, give
him the chance to improve his
economic position-make him better
citizen. The same $500 cares for his
family for six months. The same $500
buys six months of earnest work,
which Is materially increasing our
national wealth.
This sum, multiplied many times,
also flows quickly into the channels
of trade, quickening the economic re-
covery. which will eventually absorb
the services Of the men when they
leave the corps.
Congress Holds Future.
There is, naturally, a great deal of
interesting speculation regarding the
future of this work. The present
ccI-up AUTOMATICALLY expires next
March 81, and. of course, RESPONSE
bility for continuing either the present
set-up or some substitute legislation
rests with the new Congress to meet
in January.
In a letter recently addressed to me
by the President, he expresses the
opinion that this kind of work must

Il believe" he said, that the Nation
feels that the work of these young
men Is so thoroughly justified and, in
addition, the benefits to the men
themselves are so clear that the actual
annual cost will be met without much
opposition or much complaint"
! believe this correctly sums up pub
lie opinion. In personal talks with a
great many Senators and Representa-
tives I gather the impression that
they, too, feel that the work has more
than justified the financial cost.
The present set-up was of an
emergency character and there are un-
doubtedly opportunities for simplifying

Eastern Parks Developed.
When this work was launched
practically all of our national forest
land and national park areas were
west of the Mississippi River. Only
o meager start had been made in
development of this character in the
Eastern area. The President recog-
nized the need for correcting this
situation and he provided funds for
the National Forest Reservation
Commission to purchase additional
acreage to add to our national for
ests, largely in the East and South
eastern areas.
Up to June %, 1884, the National
Forest Reservation Commission re-
ports that 4,892,804 acres of land
had been purchased in % States.
The program is not yet completed
and undoubtedly additional millions
of acres will be acquired to round 1t
out.
Large additions have been made
to national park areas. An inter-
esting development has been the
great impetus given in many States
to the acquisition of additional State
forest and State park lands. Many
generous citizens have given their
States desirable acreages for the
above purposes.
New RecreatiOnal Areas.
There are now in process of develop
ment beautiful State park areas in
States where two years ago there was
not single recreational area of that
character. Undoubtedly this phase of
our conservation work will continue
We have just gone through what
was probably the worst fire hazard
year in recent history. The Winter
Of 1933-l934 experienced one of the
lightest snowfalls on record and the
past Summer was the worst drouth
season On record in a great many of
our States.
q great many forest fires because of
this condition and while the fire loss
has been heavy, am told by COM
petent authority that it would have
been Immensely greater had it not
been for the thousands of miles of
truck trails and fire breaks that have
been constructed by our c. C. C. camps,
the better facilities for detecting fires
that have been provided by the erec-
ton of numerous fire towers and look
outs, the installation of thousands of
miles of telephone lines to give quicker
communication and the installation
of modern portable short-wave radio
system.
Many Heroes Known.
The many forest fires that have
our camps quickly gave an opportunity
for the boys to show their spirit and
courage. There have been a great
many cases OF individual heroiSm, not
only in fire fighting, but in rescues
from drownings in searching for lost
persons in isolated regions and in many
other ways.
The boys have proven to be eSpe-
cially effective in fighting forest fires
Hardly one of them had seen a forest
fire. They quickly acquired COM
plete knowledge of the most effectiye
methods that have peen devised by
experienced foresters in fighting fires,
and it became matter of pride among
all of the camps to see which one could
establish anu maintain the best rec
ord for quickly controlling and eX-

tinguishing fires to which they were

tinguishing fires to which they were
called.
Unfortunately, those experiences
were not always without serious re-
suits. such work is inevitably dan
gerous and a number Of fatalities nave
resulted. Recognizing the fact that
boys who cheerfully responded to the
call to such dangerous duties were
serving their country in truly pa
triotic sense, the President authorized
a proper citation where the circum-
stances justified it. The War De-
partment and other cooperating agen-
cies have been proud to certify these
cases especially and I have no doubt
but that the families of these boys are
equally proud of these citations.
Business Greatly Aided.
The impetus that this work had
given 70 many lines of business is an
important feature. The records in the
Office Of the chief of finance of the
War Department show that up to the
close of August, 1884, the total esti-
mated obligation for emergency con-
servation work reached the sum of
S443 100000. OF this amount, approx
mately $273, 100000 was expended for
foodstuffS, clothing, shoes, transpor-
tation, autcmotive equipment, heavy
machinery, tools and other supplies
needed for the operation of the camps
and for the acquisition of new lands
for the national forests and national
parks.
Purchases made for the camps have
improved industrial employment and
stimulated business. A total of S42,-
$4,000 has been obligated for clothing
and textiles. Some $45, 900 has
been spent for food. About $31 ,50O,-
600 has been obligated for tranSpor-
tation, most of this going to the
railroads.
Fourteen million dollars has been
spent for automotive equipment, in
Guiding trucks, business cars and am
balances. Some $26,400.000 has been
spent for shelter, construction ma
terialS and labor. These purchases
have been accelerated during the past
three months by the additional enroll
men of $4,000 men in the drought
stricken area of % States, which was
part of the Presidents drought relief
program.
Daily Expenditures Aid.
While many of the above items will

COMPANY "UNIONS"

Company unions" are rightly NAM
ed-they are promoted by and for the
individual company.
Company unions" are offcered by
favorites of the bosses, meet on COM
pany property and company time and
are frequently subsidized financially
by the employers.
When members of company "un-
ions" are discharged or quit their jobs
their memberships lapse-they are
through as far as that particular
union" is concerned.
Company unions" would not now
be advocated by employers or be per-
mitted to exist in any plant, if it were
not for the self-evident fact that there
is a powerful and growing sentiment
among unorganized workers to affil-
late with bona fde unions that have
improved conditions of the American
workers for more than half a century.
No further proof of the existence of
that viewpoint among non-union
workers is needed than the fact that
of the 142 elections held by the Ma
tional Labor Board 70 per cent result
ed in bona fde trade union victories.
That is why reactionaries of every
stripe, from the million dollar a year
bonus babies down to their racketeer-
ing managers, tricky lawyers and
journalistic hacks are battling SO des
perately to keep their wage slaves in
their control.
