The Minnesota delegation in Con-
gress led meeting yesterday with
the subcommittee of the ApprOpria-
tions committee in seeking added
funds for carrying out the provisions
of the Clarke-McNary Act for forest
fire prevention. They based their ar
gument on the fact that the provis-
ions of the federal act had never been
fully lived up to and that any monies
expended on prevention of fires was
insurance of the very best sort, espe-
cially when the federal establishment
was spending so much on new plant
ings, conservation of many varieties,
and on fire control.
The bill is due to be reported soon,
and will have its time on the floor.
What the fate of the item in question
will be is of course uncertain. But
much credit should go to our director
of the division of forestry in the de-
partment of conservation, Mr.. Grover
Comet, for his admirable and rec
full statement defending his viewpoint
which was enthusiastically seconded
by the delegation. 1t was incorporated
in the hearings, and will guide the
thought of other conservation-m minded
members when the bill comes up fol
consideration.

Another is that the plan as at pres
ent sketched proposes the blanketlng
in of the regulatory agencies which
have been such a distinct help in the
last few years in keeping recalcitrant
corporations in line. To destroy their
semi-judicial standing, to hamper
their independent power and their
freedom of action and their answer
ability to Congress as much as to the
President, would mean real change
in governmental procedure. That is
why so many are concerned over the
suggestions that still are In the in
formal stage.
This entire question is due for a
thorough airing, but more committee
work and more thought is designed for
it before it reaches the floor. 1t
aims at more economical operation OF
government, and more efficient work
on the part of Its administrative
branches; but there is an alert group
who regard any such change as filled
with the real danger of destroying the
efficacy OF agencies that have been
built up to control and regulate the
vices and evils in industry, and the
bad practices in industries and bust
nesses that have been able to evade
law and ethics until the government
set up these severaal regulatory agen.

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
BY PAUL JOHN KVALE, NJ. c.

While the Senate committee and
individual Representatives of the
House continue the debate over the
Supreme Court, and the controversy
assumes major proportions in the eyes
of the American public. another argu-
ment of serious dimensions looms up.
1t is the one regarding the reorganiza-
ton of departmental divisions OF the
executive branch of government.
While not forgetting the hot
court argument. it is nevertheless SIM
pie truth to state that there is trouble
ahead for this reorganization plan.
The idea in the minds of the advisors
contemplates assembly of all admin
istrative agencies into a few hands,
with control centralized in the hands
of the Chief Executive, and with pow
er handled centrally from the White
House.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1937-04-08

Such a concept is wholly desirable
except that it would centraliZe power
of the Quasi-judicial agencies to such
an extent that their present power on
a regulatory basis would for all prac-
tical purposes be wholly destroyed
1t would permit the controlling COM
missions to continue their authority,
but would make them submissive to
the executive branch of the govern
ment-which was never intended.
Furthermore, it splits wide open the
groups that have been struggling with
one another regarding the wisdom of
curtailing the power of the Comp
troller General. He is the one who
was placed in the responsible position
of passing on all governmental con-
tracts, and of having final word in
saying whether fraud, COLLISION. ia
voritism or any other irregularity en-
tered into them. He has been ap-
pointed for a fifteen year term, re-
movable only for a definite cause. and
not responsible to any official, the
President himself Included Now his
office is embraced in the plans for re-
organization, and that makes one of
the major causes of controversy.

Although the past month of Au- gust brought the first fatal automo- bile mishap in four and one half months to this city the trafnc acci- dent bureau recorded Q four per cent reduction in the number of sc. cidentS in comparison to August, 1886. The fatal accident was the lone one for August, 1887, and there were two fatalities in August, 1886.
 In releasing the monthly report of trafflc conditions, Superintendent of Police William J. Roach took occa- sion to caution the motorists that their operating conduct should be doubly vigilant since the reopening of school.
 Supt. Roach said: "school has rec opened and at this time would like to warn the motorists of our city to use more than ordinary caution in all school areas. Slow down your speed when approaching school district because one moment of carelessness on your part might de" RILVG 6 CAtlAu VI AtAo VI AAVA AAAS SS might leave the child maimed for life. know that there Is none of Us who would care to have Q catas- trophe such as this on our minds over @ period of years. Therefore please abide by ttis warning and give our city's children a fair chance to continue living"
 At the end of the first eight months of 1897, the accident squad has recorded Ave motor vehicle fa- talities.
 During the past month of August there were l0l trafiic accidents, one causing fatal injuries, 22 causing non-fatal injuries, and 7S causing property damage. This Is compared favorably to last August's record which shows there were 106 acci- dents, two being fatal, 25 causing non-fatal injuries, and 78 causing property damage.

Chester Splers, who has recently returned from the International Jamb0ree in Holland will tell of his experiences while abroad and reports will be heard from the scouts who attended the National JRmb0ree in Washington. All boys twelve years of age and over who wish to become Scouts this year are cordially invited to attend this meeting.
 Rev. Raymond A. Dudley and his wife and children sailed from New York September 10 to re- Sume their work in Tirumangalam, India. The fund for MT. Dudley's new car has not been completed as yet due to the absence from the city of many of our congregation. We feel that this fund should be completed as soon as possible and we therefore bring 1t to the atten- ton of our congregation once again. Those who have not as yet contributed may send their checks to Mr. Coombs or may give him any donations after the close of service this morning. We have had reports from the American Board that MT. Dudley is considered one of the ablest men In the field. He has also been backed by the Brit ish government in his work and we should feel proud of him and his success. A car would enable him to broaden his sphere of influence and we feel sure that the people of Second church will do all fin their power to help him spread the Gospel of our Lord.

State May Establish Central
 Bureau OF Criminal Records

Following a year of intensive study, three committees of the Connecticut Prison Association will tender interesting reports on their projects at the annual meeting Monday, September 27, in the Su- preme Court Chamber at Hartford. In addition, new fields of endeav- or will be considered and much ate tention will be given the already launched membership campaign. Several local persons take part in the works of the association.

Catholic Data
DIVORCE OH, NO! BUT HOW
 ABOUT ANNULMENTS?"


 You Catholics do not have divorces," stated @ neighbor recently, but the wealthy and prominent do get annulmentS, don't they?"
 "They do, surely" we answered, when 1t can be proved before the strictest courts in the world, that they were never really married. With the same proviso paupers get annulments too"
 But" she insisted, "the annul- ments we hear of always seem to have money, power or social prestige behind them, such as for instance the Marlborough Vanderbilt an- nulment."
 Money, power and social pres- tige' had nothing to do with that annulment," we explained, but 1t had everything to do with getting a wrong version of the whole affair into ignorant, sensation loving papers and into the mouths of the omnipresent prejudiced. The whole thing was a clean-out case of a girl being forced by threats and fear to go through @ ceremony and contract which no civil court today would consider valid. This is posi- lively proved by the testimony of Consuelo Vanderbilt, her mother, aunt and many other witnesses.
 Shortly after the Vanderbilt case, the Roman Rota refused the annul- ment plea of the Italian Prince Ludovico Potenzia1i, e man of far more prestige and social position than the English Duke, 6 man who could buy out the whole Vanderbilt clan without missing the money. But this was refusal. No chance to mix 1t up with divorce. No scandal. No news, at least, for the yellow sheet So 1t is not likely that you ever heard of 1t.
 Remember, that annulments (properly called decrees of nullity) and divorces have nothing in com- mon. An annulment is declared only when 1t can be proved beyond a doubt that something occurred or some condition existed, before or during the ceremony, which made marriage for that particular couple impossible. Divorce, on the other hand, is 6 breaking asunder Of the seal of a lawful marriage, because of something that occurred after the ceremony had been performed"
 It's 50 easy to misunderstood If you do not have the true facts. Won't you let us give you these about any Catholic belief or prac- tice which diSturbs you? The knowledge cannot hurt you and 1t will, we feel sure, 60 far towards understanding and tolerance. Ad- dress:

number of cases reported in le3e so far this year would indicate that immunization right away Is the safest procedure"
 The doctor quoted figures to show that during the entire calendar year of 1886 there were only ten cases of diphtheria in Waterbury, and, this year, with three months to go, there have been more than 20 to date. Diphtheria has been showing a steady increase in Waterbury in the last three years with but Ave cases reported in 1895, half the number of last year.
 Dr. Godfrey assured parents who have called about immunization treatment that the effects on chil- dren are not noticeable. In most instances there Is less effect than In the inoculations against smallpox.
 Free Vaccinations
 Regarding the latter, there were free vaccinations numbering 70 last Tuesday, the first day of the school year; 2S, Wednesday; l2, Thursday, and 10 Friday.
 The clinics are open for the school year and numbers of children were brought to the station at Bank street, near Congress avenue, yes- terday. The weekly clinics will be held throughout the school year and parents are advised by the health department to avail themselves of these municipal stations in order to have assurance of the health of their children.
