PRESIDENT SAYS. .CCC PROJECT TO. BE KEPT ALIVE.
Is Considered Outstanding Acc o m p lishment of
 Administration
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Presi- dent Roosevelt's decision that the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps must go on" came as no surprise to Washington observers.
 The Presidents pet project of the New Deal,' laughted at by many at first, denounced as vis- ionary by others, gradually has come to be regarded as one of the most outstanding accomplishments of the Administration.
 AAA, EZRA and all the other alphabetical groups of the New Deal' have at one time or another come in for scatching criticism, but CCC has been singularly spar ed. Aside from the charges of graft" in the purchase of toilet kits for members of the corps in the early stages of organization, no serious criticism has been made.
 The reason is easily understand able. eco, new and hitherto untried experiment on national scale, has proved a godsend It apparently has solved admittedly one of the gravest and most inn portant problems to face the coun- try during the period of depres- sion.

STILL A CIRCUS, p RICE SAYS OF POLITICAL SHOW
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington


 Press, Washington
 It is an old figure of speech to refer to politics as a three-ring circus, but the description is so appropriate that it does not grow tiresome with repetition.
 Look at the political situation today. Was there ever a circus better equipped with what it takes to thrill and amuse the public better supplied with living speci- mems of the wild and the woolly, freaks of nature, magicians and soothsayers, tight-rope walkers and tumblers, ballyhoo artists, clowns and camp followers?
 Under the political big top there are grim visaged statesmen who look for all the world like lions in their native state, but turn out to be only toothless matinee perform CTS when the ring-master cracks the whip.
