In urging that the new federal
agency effect similar cooperative
arrangement with the state for control
Of this work, Commissioner Willard
said:
In view of the fact that the De-
partment of Conservation has planned
and supervised soil erosion control,
under the U. S. Forest Service as a
part of ECW in the past and is secur-
ing Legislation to definitely continue
this activity in the future, and the
further fact that efficiency in per-
formance, low costs of the work and
harmonious cooperation have marked
past endeavOrs we feel that plan
similar to the one which has been
in effect heretofore, should be permit
ted to continue under SEES.
There can be no doubt but what
the stimulation of local interest and
cooperation with land owners can be
best secured through local agencies.
Further than that, the sharing in the
planning and supervision of the work
creates joint responsibility by state
and federal agencies which will rec
OgniZe local needs and problems on
the one hand and place safeguards
over the expenditures of funds and
limitations as to the nature and scope
of the work to be performed on the
other.

testimony they had given at the prev
ious hearing. Mrs. LIE Sueur said that
she wanted modern texts which were
abreast of the times to be used in
the schools, and that children were
entitled to read books and magazines
which dealt impartially with present
day social developments, including
the social experiments of the federal
government.
But Senator Sletvold wanted only
to build. his ease" Concentrating
on several radical pamphlets which
] he alleged had been issued by the au-
thOrity of the board of education, he
discovered only that all of these
pamphlets were issued upon the rec
| ommendatiOn Of the emergency edu-
cation division of the federal govern
| ment.
After the hearing it developed that
| SletvOld had been using 1.-The Red
Network" notorious piece of ig
norant bigOtry, for some of his infor-
nation as to alleged subversive ac-
tivity. This book lists Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt and the head of the Min
nesOta Law and Order League among
the country's dangerous reds"
But the opposition of Senate reac-
tionaries to Mrs. lie Sueur probably
can be traced also to another source.
Mrs. LIE Sueur was a member of Gov
ernor Olson,s state planning commits
sion which recommended a substan-
tial extension in municipal power
plants in order to facilitate taking ad-
vantage of the federal rural electrifi-
cation program. 1t is reasonable to
believe, therefore, that here, as in so
many other cases, the power trust is
the niger in the woodpile.

Continuation of the past general
practices for soil erosion control in
Minnesota under which both state and
federal governments participated in
planning and supervising the work is
urged by f. V. willard, conservation
commissioner, in communications ad-
dressed to federal officials and the
Minnesota delegation to Congress.
Soil erosion control work in Mime
sofa formerly was in charge of the
United States Forestry Service, under
the CCC. Under this set-up the. state
located the camps, planned the pro-
jects, set up the supervisory personnel,
and assumed the general supervision
of the work, subject to approval by the
U. S. service. According to Mr.. Will
lard, this resulted in cooperative
relationship between federal and state
agencies which produced highly salts
factory results.
Recently the Department of Con-
servatiOn was notified that all soil
erosion activities hereafter will be
placed under the control of the De-
partment of Agriculture of the De-
partment of Interior.

lature asking for passage of House
File 12O. the unemployment insurance
bill. The chances that it will pass,
however, are nil. Employees at the
Capitol have created war chest" to
take care of the meals of the pickets.
During the discussion of u bill before
a legislative committee which would
make carbon monoXide gas poisoning
compensate under the Workmen's
Compensation Act, rather alarming
situation was revealed. Evidence was
submitted to show that carbon mOnox-
ide gas was causing large percent
age of garage employees to become
anemic, and often also causing hard
ening of the arteries. Automobile
mechanics, it was said, were FREQUENT
ly compelled to give up their work
as result of this condition. A re-
port of the Industrial Commission
covering the inspection of 900 garages
was presented to the committee re-
vealing that more than 40 per cent
Of all garage workers who submitted
to physical examination showed the
presence of carbon monoXide gas poi
soning in their blood. The bill, which
was sponsored by the accident divi-
sion of the Industrial Commission, met
with opposition on the part of garage
owners, who cont ended that it would
increase insurance premium rates for
garages. The remedy suggested was
more thorough inspection of garages
as to ventilation. which. to carry out,
would require the addition of six in
spectors. Unless funds for that are
provided by the Legislature this need
ed inspection cannot be carried out.

The Mason & Walsh Co, contrac-

made very good progress during

of excavating ENGAGEMENTS for the
foundations of the control shafts
was carried forward steadily. In
the shafts above, workmen going
downward with the two main shaft
engagements, have excavated to a
pepth of 1876 feet. Other crews in
the t@a emergency gate shafts. are
down 1O8 feet below the surface of
the ground.
At the outlet ends of the tun els,
a larger quantity of concrete was
placed in the open-cut portions of
the tunnels, than during the prev
ious week. The open-cut tunnels
are being placed in sections similar
to the manner in which the head.
walls and retaining wall are con-
structed. Sections of the invert'
or bottom portion of the tunnel, are
poured first. After this concrete
has hardened efficiently, the arch
sections are poured in one opera
ton to provide a complete mono-
lithic arch. The headwalls at the
outlet portals of the 4 tunnels were
completed Friday. May 10 Two
base sections, one mid section. and
five top sections of the retaining
