ests were an obstacle to be cleared away for settlements and cultivated fields. The result has been disastrous in many parts of the country where adverse climate changes, serious soil erosion and devas- tating floods have followed the stripping of forests.
 That wasteful era seems to be coming to an end. Amendments to the lumber code requires holders of private timber lands to adhere to certain general stand- ards of logging practice. They must cut only trees of certain size, dispose of slash and enforce, strict fire-protection rules. Trees are to be harvested as crops, with steady planting for future crops. It is an excellent beginning. There must also be additional planting to replace many forests already destroyed.

Cracking Down On Gunmen

At last there is prospect of action Tn the desultory warfare against crime. "National Firearms Act'' has been intro duced in Congress by Representative Hat ton w. Summers of Texas, at the request of Attorney General Cummings. It con tains, among numerous provisions for making it harder for criminals to get and use weapons, requirement for finger printing and photographing purchasers or pistols, machine guns and other forearms.
 There will be a great deal of kicking about this, from hunters and other re- spectable citizens who have used arms legitimately and who resent any such su- peryision as an insult. There may also be strong objections from manufacturers, who fear to see their market limited. But crime control is impossible without control of the weapons used by criminals. The fact has long been apparent to thinking people, but so far little has been done about it. Even in states and cities where the selling of firearms is licensed, and carriers are registered, the thugs, bandits and kidnappers have never had any diffl- culty in getting them.
 Domestic disarmament is as important as international disarmament. The way to disarm is to disarm. Reasonable pro- cedure requires that no person shall have a deadly weapon unless he is identified and on record as it's owner, and has legitimate purpose in possessing it. The only power capable of this control IS the federal government.

HISTORY

Other factories prospered dur ing Waterbury's early years, that were of importance to the com- munity if not so outstanding as some of those already mentioned. Among them were Blake & John sons, organized in 1852, and used to manufacture metals, the plant located on East Main street; the E. J. Manville company; the Water bury Farrel Foundry and Ma chine company about 1880; and the American Mills company in 1881, the outgrowth of the Hotch- kiss & Pritchard and the Hotch- kiss & Merriman company which went back to 1889 when E. E.. Pritchard and his brother manu- factured elastic and non-elastic webbing. Charles B. Merriman connected with these companies was born in Watertown in 1909. The Merriman residence here, where now stands the Immaculate Conception church, was one of the important old landmarks of the city up to recent years.
 There were also located Here the Standard Electric Time company organized in 1887; the White and Wells company, which originated in the paper and paper box com pany started by Henry $. and J. Watson White in January, 1851; Blake, Lamb & company, origin ated in 1851, which manufactured, it may be of interest to know,

A Book a Day l,y BRUCE CATION
Love Brings Misery, So She Ends Life

Another of those painstaking and rather depressing studies of emotional dsintegration is pTp-. yided in Sylvia Chatfield Bates new novel, II Have Touched the Earth" :
 Here we have the story of a girl in an upstate New York town who is subjected. from her girlhood, to emotional strains that are too much for her and that nn- ally bring her to complete col lapse.
 The first strain comes from her father-a forceful and robust man who dominates her girlhood ana plants in the back of her mind a queer mixture of attraction ana dread; the sort of thing psycni- atrist would find a long word Tor and that the ordinary mortal would simply call a cnfoundediy uh- healthy state of affairs.
 Then she has an intense friend ship with another girl, harmless enough in itself. but cause or much trouble. Her associates mls- understand it, wounding her cruel ly; then the girl friend dies, plung- : ing her into the deep Loneliness. From this she bounces. into a love affair with a novelist. It goes wrong, too; the girl creeps back home, crushed and dispirited, and finally solves her troubles b com hitting suicide. All this makes a. thoughtful study of the way in which ordin- arily fruitful human relationships can become twisted and disastrous. Family love, friendship, romantic love-all these things, for this girl, turned into poison.
 Those things happen, sometimes, tragically; Miss Bates has given us an intelligent account of how they can take place.
 Published by Bobbs- Merrill, her book retails at $2.50.

An Artist Speaks Up

Nothing has seemed to excite as much public interest of recent years in upper New York state as the move to erect a war memorial on top of Mt Whftefacc, lofty eminence of the Adirondacks. A few years ago New York legislators somehow or other put through bill that made possible an automobile road to it's summit. This passes through virgin territory, much of which had never reechoed to the chug- chug of laboring motor or purr of corded tires.
 Horses and men afoot had penetrated it's fastnesses, but never motor car. To- day they do Now it is also hoped to place war memorial on top of Whiteface to commemorate the soldiers, sailors, and marines who died in the World War. Part of this memorial would be beacon light that would be visible as far away as Montreal. That may seem impossible, but as the crow flies it probably is no more than 75 miles from Whiteface's peak to Montreal.
 Rockwell Kent, the noted artist who lives at Ausable Forks, writes the editor of the New York Times an interesting letter on the topic. We take the liberty of quoting him in the interest of the cam paign that he and others wage for the complete preservation of Whiteface: Mount Whiteface dominates the Adlron- dack mountain region. It stands alone, commanding thousands of square miles, Serene and beautiful, unscarred, unbu1lt upon, it is the focal point some part ot every day or night for every human eye in view of it. :"
 He becomes slightly worked up bit later and says, "All that which has so moved us in the past and can so move mankind forever is threatened now. Fools want to stick lighthouse on the top of 1t = to glorify our boys! Gods mountain isn't high enough; we'll make it higher We'll put a light there to outshlne the stars. Just so might. flea perched on the pinnacle of mans bald head cry out that he was taller than man, or mos quito in mans ear boast that he out roared Niagara.
 "To put dead thing on living moun- tain = to kill mountain to comment crate death! Is that the noblest monu- ment to such cause? Why not in mem- ory of our dead preserve one living thing intact to live forever? Of mountains and kindred element, the sea, St Angus tine writes this: And the people went there and admired the high mountains, the wide wastes of the sea and the mighty downward rushing streams, and the ocean and the course of the stars and forgot themselves"
 If such pleas, as eloquent as that of Rockwell Rents, were brought to bear on New York's Legislature we do not, see how it could well accede to the request for the mountain-top monument. After all nothing is more monumental than a mighty eminence, snow-crowned in win ter, green-browed during summer. Why add our artificial touch to it when the original, as planned by God, has never : been equalled in all this whole wide world?

Moscow Letter
By JOSEPH H. BAIRD

United Press Stan COrresp0ndcnD
 Moscow (UP) - The Soviet Union is planning to receive the largest number of foreign visitors. who ever have come to inspect the worlds ne major experiment in Communism, this summer. Their number is estimated at 35,000.
 V. A. Kurtz, head of "Intourist." the Soviet organization which plans trips for foreigners within the U. s. s. R. has just returned frl m abroad with fair visions of steady stream of visitors crossing the, Russian frontier.
 Two Fold Interest.
 Russia's interest in foreign tour ists is two fold. First. Soviet of ficials take pride in showing visi- tors from abroad the accomplish ments of the worlds first Com munist government under the five year plan"--its vast collective farms, factories and mines. Sec ond, tourists bring in foreign ex- change which the Soviet govern ment needs to purchase machinery and other equipment abroad.
 Ever since the revolution, Amer jeans have outnumbered all other tourists in Russia and they are expected to. retain this position ir 1884. Kurtz, while in America, signed a contract with a large tourist agency for tours this sum mer. Washington's recent recog- milton of the Moscow government is expected to increase America's interest in Russia and bring more tourists here. British Travel Contract.
 Britain, too, is expected to in- crease it's usual quota of tourists which, in the past. has been rather small. But. impetus may be given to British travel in the Soviet Union this summer by q contract which Kurtz signed with 8 large British travel agency. INV Similar contracts were negoti- ated by Kurtz with French and German travel companies. So these nationalities also may increase their usual number of tourists. Tn preparation for the foreign visitors, ''Intourists Is planning new attractions which will show the lighter side of Soviet life and garnish the usual travellers dish oi ysits to farms and factories. These lattractions will include mountain climbing, bear hunting, concerts theatrical programs and sports festivals.

The trouble Is that a lot of Haftlans don't want them tO go. Specifically President Vincent, comforting at the White House this week, hates to see their exit. The Haitian president has been extremely discreet in mentioning this, and the above statement Z proba bly will De denied. Never theless, last summer he re- quested their retention one year longer, and now would like to see this period extended further. { His trouble is that when ma rines go it becomes difficult for him to remain in office.
 But The didn't find Roosevelt very sympathetic. It looks as if the marines will leave Haiti next October.
 < ANOTHER CRACKDOWN { General Johnson has issued secret orders for barrage of prosecutions against MIRA code vtolators. VI ! This time. his punitive expedi- Greek restaurants and New Eng
 
 nes is to be taken on. This Is what is behind the new litigation and enforcement scc-. tion of the MIRA. Its legal sharp shooters have been working for weeks checking over complaints in preparation for some spectac- ular cases.
 Personnel of the litigation and enforcement section is almost as large as the justice department, and its legal caliber far higher.
 Private word is that it has several big prosecutions in the making.
 MERRY-GO-RoUND
 Senator Willard Tydings of Maryland remains the most har- assed man in Washington. His constituents remain contin- ually on his doorstep. ... For senators from the west, life is comparatively a bed of roses. Travel is long and expen- sive. But Tyding's electorate can reach him with the expendi- ture of ten cents. Senator Borah is irate over the state ment of Ted Mariner, counselor of the American embassy in Paris, that he prefers French men to Americans. Other senators share Borah's views, probably will make 1t hot for the state department. Secret service operatives consider 1t significant that large number of anonymous letters to Roose- welt cabinet members come from Radnor, Va. This Is a small village in the heart of Virginia's horse and hound re- zion, where mint juleps, thor oughbreds and English accents the New. Deal is not popular there. A lot of anonymous letters also are written on the stationery, of the Mayflower hotel. Supreme Court Jus- tice~ Stone still cherishes on his desk the medicine ball used when he was a member of the Hoover medicine ball cabinet. On it are inscribed the names of all those who turned out at 2 a. I'm. to exercise with the past president.
 MORE MERRY-GO.ROUND . According to Congressman Kenney of New Jersey, George Washington purchased the first lottery ticket in the United States. Kenney now wants to esta blish a government lot- tery for the' benefit of war veter- ans. Cherub-fa"ed Ross Collins, Mississippi's crusading congressman, now finds himself in a paradoxical spot with the army. For years Collins who rules on army appropria- tions-was hated and feared by army officers. Now they look up- on him as their chief friend. Reason Is that the house military affairs committee. usu- ally pro-army has turned against them.

Washington, April 1'8--This is Cherry Blossom Time. in the na- tion's capital. It has also devel- oped into scandal-mongering time. .f
 Never since the Wilson admin istration has the capital rever- berated with so many rumors-- suicidal if true, most of them too absurd to be listened to--regard- ing the private lives of the New Dealers. k
 Apparently a concerted lobby Is actively at work trying to smear some of the most import ant members of the administra- ton. A flood of anonymous letters constantly are deluging- newspaper offices. are sent even to the White House.
 Anonymous attacks of this kind are not new. And they are not caused by spring madness. Usually they arise from political or personal enemies who caIl- not hurt those in power in any other way.
 SIGHTSEER
 A large crowd of sightseers was milling outside the public gallery of the senate. Fretfully a youthful guard was trying to keep the corridor clear of congestion.
 "Kecp moving, keep moving" nc ordered.
 A short, well-dressed man, with pronounced square jaw, and his eyes fixed on Gilbert Stuarts' historic painting of George Washington paid no attention.
 "Hcy. you," demanded the guard, "didn't you hear me? Get going"
 The visitor did not even turn his head. To younger man standing beside him he remark- ed:
 "Can you detect 6 scar on Washington's face? can't. But Pm told that there is q Stuart painting which clearly reveals cut across the jaw. I've been hunting for that painting for Q long time"
 The companion, anxiously eyeing the menacing guard, tugged at the speakers arm. Finally the latter saw the guard.
 "I'ln sorry," he said pleasant- ly, and moved on.
 NOTE: Scar-seeking sight. seer was Ferdinand Pecora, fiphtinp counsel of the senate bank investigating committee, recently offered the under-secre- taryship of the treasury Py Sec retary Morgenthau, which he declined. = NO PRESIDENTIAL
