TRAVEL PLEASANT
|ND|SMA[ SWAMP
A Native With a Boat Knows
What Interests the Visitor.
"The Hotel de Gink."

Scarcely more than Is miles below
the busily commercial City of Nor
folk lies land as contrary to civili-
zation as the earths poles are to the
Sahara-the great Dismal Swamp.
Here nature has gone riot in pro-
ducing an area that defies too inti-
mate a familiarity and which has
provided a wealth Of adventure for
the pages of fiction and the epics
Of reality.
A brief excursion into the swamp
is an interesting side trip for visitors
to Tidewater Virginia and. despite
the wildness of the swamp, is amaz-
ingly simple to carry out.
A Beautiful Route.
Out of Portsmouth the visiting
motorist should follow Route No. IT
that unwinds its concrete perfection
on through miles of North Carolina
beauty. The road passes Craddock
picturesque community of wooden
houses which was built by the Fed
eral Government to, house its war
time workers during the World War.
Deep Greek is the next little COM
munity, and here the visitor begins
to see the strange water-world into
which he is moving.
The canal runs straight as a taut
string due south from Deep Creek
and the concrete road that is Route
II parallels it. The swamp visitor
follows this road without a turn for
miles to Wallaceton, where dry-land
transportation is abandoned. Bill
Crockett, a colorful native who knows
as much about Dismal Swamp as any
man, lives there at Wallaceton on
the banks of the canal He will take
you up into the swamp to Lake Drum
mond, and he'll charge you only So
for the trip. He's an engaging fellow,
who knows what it is that interests
the stranger.
Up a Shady Lane.
His boats are shallow-draft motor
powered affairs that lend themselves
well to the exacting demands of
swamp travel With his passengers
aboard, he heads his craft a few
yards down the canal and then swings
to starboard and enters a narrow
water lane, known locally as the
Feeder Ditch, which until then was
invisible to the passenger. UP this
narrow ditch the boat chugs. Trees,
intertwined overhead, make a shady
and mysterious travel lane.
Something over 3 miles up this
straight canal the boat comes upon
a little clearing and there, perched
amid dense forest growth, is what
you'll find to be "the Hotel de Gink." /"
This outpost for campers is operated
by colored man named Dyer. He
has lived in that swamp clearing of
his since he reached manhood and
he has more children than can be
counted on the fingers of both
hands-an raised there with him
It is at this Hotel de Gink that
Dyer buried old John Barleycorn back
in November /, 1916. The ghost Of
that corpse has walked since, but the
monument, erected by Dyer, still
stands where it amused cynical visi-
tors from outside for many years.

BACK IN j. 8.

Bishop James H. Ryan, rector
of Catholic University, landed in
New York today following a
months visit in Italy in which
he had audiences with the Pope
and with Mussolini. He started
Immediately for washington.
When the liner Conte di Savo1a
docked, customs agents rushed
the bishops baggage through
inspection so that he might
catch the first train for the
Capital.
Speaking of world conditions,
the bishop said:
"It was largely on business
matters that made this
voyage" and naturally con-
suited with the Holy Father.
I also had a visit with Premier
MusSOlini, who wanted to hear
as much about present cOndi-
tiOnS in the United States as
I could tell him. / found him
very well informed not only on
America, but on all the world.
That was just before the
attempted putsch in Austria.
1t is not surprising that he
acted as he did since he seems
to keep informed of the temper
Of each Of his neighbOrS."

FARLEY PLANS
ANT|-BORAH
CAMPAIGN
By WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

international news Service
The Administration has decided
to come to grips with the veteran
Senator William E. Borah (R) Of
Idaho, over the New Deal" in
his home State.
Following the visit of Postmas-
ter General Farley to Idaho it was
disclosed in political circles today
that a spectacular battle is
planned by administration forces
to elect the Democratic ticket in
Idaho in the fall.
To Elect Governor
While there is no senatorial
election, a gubernatorial election
and the naming of two members
of Congress will furnish the
battle-ground.
Democratic leaders are eX-
tremely anxious to keep Idaho in
the party column next fall. They
believe that it will be a blow at
Senator Borah's prestige when he
wages a battle against the NRA
and other phases of the new deal
this winter when Congress must
decide the question of the NRA'S
permanency.
Senator Borah, in his attack on
the NRA as a sponsor Of monop-
oily and on other phases Of the
Roosevelt program, has kept him
self aloof from the national Re-
publican campaign and has crltl-
cized both parties.
But in Idaho, reports received
here say, Senator Borah is work
ing with the State Republican or
ganiZation. He has been friendly
to it, and has personal friends
seeking both the congressional and
State nominations.
Works With G. o. p.
Thus, in Idaho, Senator Borah
apparently will be campaigning as
a Republican. He is expected to
openly support the Republican
candidates for Congress as he did
his friend, the former Senator
John Thomas, Republican, in his
last campaign.
Senator James P. Pope CD of
Idaho, who defeated Senator
Thomas, is gathering campaign
material here and plans to take
the stump against Senator Borah.

HOOVER FIELDS
RADIO AIDED

Aircraft pilots will now be able
to contact the Washington-Hoover
Airport by radio from coast to
coast. The airport'S puny 50-watt
radio tranSmitter has been re-
placed by 40O-watt transmitter,
and other equipment modernized.
The new equipment, put into
service for the first time yester-
day. places Washington's air
depot on an equal footing with
other large airports of the ma
tion, it is declared, and will en-
able the field operators to keep
in constant touch with planes
operating out of washington. ,
The range of the new broad
casting set, according to airport
officials. will be determined by
weather conditions. If the con-
ditions are exceedingly good,
coast-to-coast reception will be
easy, while under normal condi-
tions the range will extend about
$500 miles.

Columbus. o, April 4-(UP)-
The schools financing system In the
United Statsc has left public edu-
cation like "a beggar with tin cup"
in the view OF educators who have
called a national conference here
April and when parents and
citizens will be asked to aid In lift
ing schools from financial bogs.
A two-fOld responsibility Will be
thrust at the laymen:
]. Learn the facts.
2. Support legislation that will
protect the schools.
According to those who have as
semblcd an imposing array OF
speakers for the conference. spon-
sorcd by Ohio State university,
public schools are In worse plight
than they were 10 TO 100 years ago.
In previous economic depres-
sions, II is pointed out, schools did
not suffer. Budget balancing pro-
grams Of the past three years have
schools have closed or been re-
strictcd by four whitening infiu-
ences, listed by the conference or
ganizcrs az follows:
l. Attacks of vested financial in
tercsts.
2. Closed banks.
3. Delinquent taxes.
4. Anticipated tax systems.
Local taxes and real estate taxes
are the main school support, De-
Iinquencics and reductions Of such
taxes have beggared the schools, II
liz commended, since substitute taxes
were not provided. In many states
the general state taxes were not
thrown TO school support.
The facts surrounding the school
crises run off into every branch OF
sociology and economics, touching
on morality, crime, culture, mater
ial weIl-being and the future of g.
100000 undcrDrivileged American
school children around the ages OF
IL to 20. out Of school and out OF
work.
Woven through the situation are
the following factual conditions:
Reduction by $4,000, 900 in
school revenuck and 100000 In
crease In enrolment In a few
terms, with "a reduction of 27.297,
In number Of teachers.
Institution OF restricted tuition
charges in some sections.
Restricted school services and
oyercrowding.
Closing of 5000 schools and
shortening OF terms In one Of ey-
cry four cities.
An 80 per cent reduction In
school building expenditures and a
30 per cent drop in textbook pur-
chasea.
Reduction Of teacher salaries by
ar much AZ 40 per cent, payment OF
1928 annually to one-thtrd Of ac-
tive teachers, salary arrearages OF
$40 100000 for 10000 teachers and
100. 900 teachers unemployed.

Gutenberg, his wife and their

found dead in their beds Monday

Kitchen range had been removed
as well an a ceiling plug. They had
been dead two days before their

they said, had been jealous OF ia
