Uncle Sam Disposes
 Of Old Lighthouses
Historical Associations, States, Individuals Take Over Properties = Personnel Relieved of Duties

washington-(UP)-Uncle Sam is putting his discarded lighthouses to use.
 The lighthouse service of the department of commerce has dis closed that "A reservations or por- tions of lighthouse grounds had been transferred to other govern mental agencies or sold during the past i've years.
 Thirty-three were transferred to states, towns or historical associa- tions; 25 were sold to individuals through competitive bidding, and IS were transferred to other fed- eral government agencies.
 The navy department took five of the discarded lighthouses; war department, four; agriculture, four: and treasury, two.
 Of the reservations disposed of to individuals by sale, 10 were along the Maine coast and four along the shores of the Great Lakes. They presumably will be used for summer resorts.
 Harold D. King, commissioner of lighthouses, explained that all dis banded lighthouse sites had to be offered to other federal govern ment agencies first under existing

 Correspondcnt)

WAsHINGToN, seps. 1s-AAA
 w has come in for plenty of crit- icism for it's past callousness to- ward consumers, all of which your correspondent has reported faith fully and zealously.
 But it must be said for Secre- tary Wallace and Administrator or Chester Davis that, even though at times they may have succumbed to pressure of combinations of food industry lobbyists. farm group lob- byists, and politicians who figured the consumer could go hang, they have persisted in appointing able, honest, and aggressive men to rep resent consumer interests in AAA councils.
 Anyone who has watched this government operate for a few years must be surprised that they haven't appointed complacent, easy going jobholders who could be de- pended on not to annoy them.
 The new consumers counsel at AAA is Donald Montgomery, who succeeds Dr. Calvin B. Hoover, who succeeded Dr. Fred c. Howe.
 Montgomery is just as active and conscientious as his predeces- sors and just as determined to see that consumers get the best possible break under a program which necessarily jacks up food prices.
 He was a naval ensign in the World war, was a classmate of Y-a. IA. of Wisconsin, served with Wis consin commission which was a sort of state version of the fed eral trade commission, joined the ETC here and participated im- portantly in it's investigation of chain stores. was switched to SEC, where he helped frame registra- ton regulations, and eventually was recruited to. AAA by Hoover as the latter's assistant.

Another War Visioned

Don't overlook the possibility that the spreading of the Italo. Ethiopian war may first involve Europe through German attack on Russia, aided by Poland. In- ternational experts here aren't.
 The common idea that Hitler is likely to leap into Austria when Itaiy's back is turned and her strength is in Abyssinia overlooks the fact that Italy's mobilization has, temporarily at least, strength- ened rather than weakened her military position in Europe.
 The assumption of suspicious observers who take this line of thought is that Japan would si- simultaneously attack the Soviet from the other end.
 Tn any event, it's unlikely that Hitler will resist the temptation to move into Memel.

Obvious Political Plum

Appointment of Democratic Na- tional Committeeman Vince n t Miles to the social security board is an obvious political appointment and a Roosevelt favor to Senator Joe Robinson, who faces re-elec. tion, complicated by probable Huey Long troubles next year.
 You didn't hear about 1t, but the name of Miles popped up once before. Roosevelt suggested him to Secretary Ickcs as candidate for the new job of undersecretary of interior.
 Ickes was urging his personal assistant, Harry Slattery - prob abAv the best man in Washington for the job, but no great favoritc with professional politicians. Ickes hollered in pain when Miles was suggested.
 Then Roosevelt and the interior secretary "compromised" with the appointment of ex-Congressman Charles West of Ohio, White House liaison man in Capitol HILL.
 The points of this story is. that Roosevelt never serious consid- cred Miles for the job, but was advancing him to Ickes for trad- ing purposes. Ickes could hardly refuse to bow to the White House will twice!

He'll Uphold Consumer

Montgomery will follow Hoover's policy of constantly nudging AAA chiefs and reminding them of the consumer. If you happen to be one of those consumer persons, you can well afford to take a bow to the de- parting Hoover, who urged Mont gomery as his successor and is now going back to his professional job at Duke university.
 Hoover finally persuaded the administration that it should maintain 8 policy of refusing to cut down supplies of food below those normally available for do- nestle consumption.
 Nobody paid much attention to his words, but Wallace recently enunciated the Hoover policy-a milestone for AAA-as follows:
 1.-TWO things we want to be sure of. One is that there will be the same quantity of food per capita available to the American people as during the decade of the POS; that is, that we take care of the consumer. The second is that quantities available in excess of that, for which foreign purchas- ing power is no longer available. should not be produced"
 And if AAA starts to forget the first part of that, Montgomery will be there to remind 1t.

Office Renters ShO,C Preference
For Air-COnditiOned Space

During the past two years air con-
ditioning has taken position in the
foreground among new developments
in the Office building industry, and
the renting public has been made
"air condition conscious" Z. B. Muir
ray told delegates to the twenty eighth
annual convention of the National
Association Of Building Owners and
Managers, held in Cincinnati last
week.
In support Of this statement Mr..
Murray called attention to figures
from one Of the major manufacturing
companies, showing that 80 per cent
of the 1894 installations were in office
buildings. A survey of installations
last year in 13 cities throughout the
United States, he stated, disclosed that
the tonnage" for air conditioning had
increased approximately 81 per cent
during the year.
"One Of the major utility companies
In the East, in conducting an investi-
CATION based entirely on the medical
effects of air conditioning, reports that
in one Office having a large personnel
a reduction Of 80 per cent in time lost
by various employees through illness
has been acquired since the installa-
ton Of air conditioning" In another
plant q similar analysis indicated
that the time lost by employees on
account Of colds and other illness
had been reduced 40 per cent by air
conditioning. In still q third plant
engaged in the manufacture of cigars,
where the ordinary expectancy as to
drop In production in the Summer
under the Winter was IL per cent,
it was found that after conditioning
