One bit of news carried good cheer
however, to residents all through the
wooded areas of the nation when the
Director of the Budget reported his
decision to ask for a supplemental ap-
preparation of 100000 to be distrib-
uted among states where the drought
situation has made forest fire protec-
tive work so vastly important. In our
case, for instance, it will permit Min
nesota to keep together it's force of
expert and seasoned rangers and
woodsmen, and no finer body of men
exists i'm the governmental service
than this group.
When the regular supply bill was
up in the House, a determined fight
was made to enlarge this item. 1t
failed, but the Senate added the sum
on the strength of the showing made
in the House. Conferees then agreed
on partial restoration, so. as often
happens, the apparent defeat on the
floor of the House really was at least
partial victory. And in this case
the money is to be spent entirely fol-

fires before they start, so to speak

the pressure is on the verge of sue
cess, and therefore cannot be pooh
pooed away. The fight will center on
the Senate side, with Senator LaFol-
lette leading for the group who de-
mand increased amounts for direct
and for drought relief, as well as much
greater OUTLAWS for public works while
recovery is as yet incompletely at
tanned.
Coupled with this disappointing evil
dence that the budget balancers are
still powerful enough to check the re-
lief policies in the face of demon
strated needs, is the evidence of a
continued non-inflationary monetary
policy given by the compromise which
was reached over the silver question.
The silver blocs in Senate and House
have continued their fight for re-
monetization of silver and for bi-metal-
lism as a base for our money and
credits. Now, however, they have
been met by proposal from the
White House which meets only a
small fraction of their original de-
mands, but they have agreed to accept
the compromise.

Tragic drought conditions through
out the midwest literally threw a
shadow over the nations capital yes
terday, when dust clouds sharply re-
duced visibility and gave evidence oil
the ruin being wrought in the agri-
cultural areas. Perhaps it will have
a persuasive effect upon administra-

to hold relief expenditures to a min
imum, in drought areas and else
where.

parkways. BY the artistic arrange
ment and improvement of such park
areas the appeal of historic public
buildings and monuments is greatly
enhanced.
But, if we are to gain the best re-
suits from the proper planning of our
public lands and buildings, it is es-
sential that private property be i'm
proved harmoniously in accordance
with the general city plan. This is
most evident when homes of radically
differing architectural styles are
grouped together. The best results
are obtained when architect, client
and builder give due regard to the
architectural character of the home
neighborhood
This same principle holds true when
the grounds surrounding our homes
are considered. The trees and flower
gardens of one home can harmonic
or conflict with those Of another and
the good appearance of whole resi-
dence block can be marred If the
grounds of just one home are left
neglected and unimproved.
In Washington nature affords us
wonderful opportunities for the de-
velopment of beautiful homes and
gardens. Cleanup week observance
performs a valuable service by re-
minding up of this fact and by stimu-
lating our desires to make our homes
and our entire neighborhoods still
more pleasing and attractive.

CINCINNATI, May 2.-Col. William
Cooper Proctor, 70, Cincinnati indus
trial leader and philanthropist, died
today of bronchial pneumonia.
The 72-year-old chairman of the
board of the Proctor & Gamble Co.
entered the hospital Saturday. He
rallied somewhat Monday, but early
yesterday suffered another relapse and
DR.. l.. F. Barker of Baltimore, re-
nowned pathologist and authority on
pneumonia, was summoned.
Col. Proctor returned to Cincinnati!
from New York and Philadelphia last
Friday suffering from what he believed
to be slight cold. He had been at
tending a meeting Of the National
Council of the Protestant Episcopal
Church at New York when stricken.
Built Huge Business.
His death followed by barely two
years that of James N. Gamble, his
business associate who helped build
to huge proportions business founded
by their grandfathers.
Educated at Princeton, he plunged
into the family industry almost at
once, and started on series of in
novations that, startling at the time,
since have become almost common
place. He is generally credited with
establishing the Saturday half holiday
for workers; with inaugurating en-
ploye representation in management;
and with creation of an employe
proft-sharing plan, later amplified by
guaranteed year-round employment
for his plant workers.
Renowned Philanthropist.
His interests were not confined to
industry, however.
Though his philanthropies were
never widely heralded, it was known
he contributed heavily toward needs of
Princeton University, and gave $2.50O,-
900 to the Children's Hospital here.
He was chairman of the National
Committee organized in1928 by Herbert
Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce,
to bring about greater efficiency and
economy in the community chest and
social service work. A year before he
was general chairman of Community
Chest drive of his native city. Deeply
interested in military activities, his
title of colonel followed his service as
commander of the First Regiment Of
Infantry, Ohio National Guard. He
also served as member Of the Coun-
Gil of National Defense.
