Henry might think that, but he didn't say 1t.
 What happened was that when Ovid Martin, of the Associated Press, reported a speech of Wal lace's before Q conference of iAAA state committeeman in Washington, he quoted Wallace over the telephone as saying: "I believe the farm program is really workable"
 But the rewrite man at the other end of the wire took the word workable" for wOiderful", and 1t went out that way over the country. The word wonder full" survived even in the version of the speech printed later by "Tlme" magazine.

NudisYn Investigation

Nudism Investigation
 If Martin Dies of Texas acts on Q suggestion he has just re. ceived, his Congressional commit. tee will stage an investigation of nudism on the ground that 1t is "a revolting and shameful Inove- ment," completely "un- American.
 The suggestion comes from an admirer Of Congressman Dies in Greensboro, N. c. His letter makes the point that since nudisn 'has existed for many years In Russia. the home of Communism" the Dies committee should investigate "the goings-on at the nudist camps which are found all over tine coun. try and Hook into" the nudist lit- .erature, which carries portraits of naked men and women.
 The biggest laugh is that the communication drags in the name of Representative Clare D. Hoff- man, of Michigan, as a former at- torney for the proprietor of Q nud- ist camp-Fred 0. Ring of Kala- mazoo--and suggests that MT. Hoffman might be "a wolf in sheep's clothing"
 Congressman Hoffman is Q Re- publican, and just as much of c flag-waving patriot as the red- batting MT. Dies.
 Still On Deck
 Despite disclosures that Edward r. Sullivan, one of the Dies committee Investigators, had been active in anti-semitic and anti. Catholic movements and had been employed by Q ctrike-breaking and labor spying firm. he is still on the committee payroll.
 Committee member Jack Demp. sey of New Mexico has demanded that Chairman Dies dismiss Sul. livan, but backed by Rep. Joe Starnes of Alabama and the two Republican committee members, Dies has refused to do so.
 Instead he has instructed sul-
 livan to submit reply to the
 charges against him. Meanwhile
 Sullivan continues to draw his government pay-check.
 NOTE-Dempsey flatly refused to permit Sullivan tp do any fur- tier undercover probing on the Pacific coast. Dempsey has as- sumed charge of this area and will conduct his own investigation. Wonderful Wallace

On the surface the trend. while definitely upward, still is of mod est proportions. But the under lying propulsive factors-the real- ly significant concomitants of recovery is under way and will be- come increasingly evident In the coming months.
 The inside story is told in a confidential report made to the President by government experts on the first of this month. High lights of the study were three key irdices, all of them. showing an upturn. They follow:
 National Income Payments-For the first time since August, 1887, this item, which includes all money paid out in wages, divi- dends, rentals, etc.. went up in July. Previously 1t had shrunk steadily, but 1t rose from 78.2 in June to 79.l in July.
 Liquid Securities Market-July was marked by a very active tide O1 DtOCk HAAu pUAlu AAOthVAuAAop hA readily absorbed by investors. This meant two things, improved busi- ness confidence and a flow of money into industry for enlarged operations.
 Net Government Contribution This is the amount of money the government actually is expending on recovery. above the sums 1t takes in through taxes and other revenues. AS distinguished from gross government spending, this is the real pump-priming expendi- ture. The record shows that when 1t was eliminated in 1887, busi- ness went into tailspin. Now 1t is once more on the way to levels that brought about good [ times in 1885, 1885 and the first half of 1887.
 Here are the figures on net government spending which were given Roosevelt:

the same route. At that time ef- fort was being made to get air mail for the Territory and partic ularly for this route, to supple ment the passenger traffic and give Alaskans a service they have long needed. Now we celebrate achievement after two years.
 To our neighbors in the Gold en Heart of the North" and thru out the vast Interior we send greetings, for with the institution of the air mail service we become neighbors in fact. Two years ago we became passenger neighbors with but four hours air flight sep arating us. Now We become com- plete business neighbors, with a fourhour air mail service to aug ment our personal visits.
 No longer is Fairbanks and the Interior a country way off yon- der which required days to reach. No longer is Juneau, the Capital City, isolated in the Panhandle from the other great regions of Alaska. By air mail and passen- ger plane service the vast, far flung empire of the North becom- es compact unit-a great new united country pushing forward toward its place in the sun.
 The day is not far distant when every major center of the Terri tory will be joined with the Sta tes by air mail. It is probable that the next step will be service by PAA from Seattle to Ketchi- kan and Juneau and thus on into the Interior and Westward. From Juneau, it is anticipated that one flight route will be toward Fair banks and another toward Cordo- Va, Anchorage and the cities to the Westward.
 At the present writing PAA is making plans for extension of its present service from Juneau to Seattle by the coastal route. With that connection made Alaska will have surmounted the major bar rier of isolation-the hurdle of fast transportation will have been cleared.

NOME NEEDS CONTINUOUS AIR MAIL SERVICE AT
 THIS TIME OF YEAR

Thursdays Pacific Alaska Air ways mail plane was the last reg ular mail flight of the winter con- tract, company officials announc- ed today.
 Henceforth any mail going by plane will be taken by any com mercial planes leaving Nome or Fairbanks under Star Route con- tract, which has been operative during the past several years.
 With the advent of the new Alaska Air Mail Service between Juneau and Fairbanks, 1t seems a shame that Nome should in the same week be forced to get along with only first class letter mail being carried by plane. and that on no regular sch edule.
 Our winter mail service leaves nothing to be asked for, but our summer mail service of all class es of mail, which must await the steamers via Boring Sea or the Yukon River boats, makes conn munication by mail so faulty and slow, that We are practica Fly cut off from contact with the Outside from now until the middle of June, when the first steam CT ar rives from Seattle.
 What should interest everyone, and right now too, is to bring our conditions to the attention of the Post Office Department, and get that Air Mail Service con tinued to Nome, at the earliest possible moment.

VIGILANCE URGED
T0CONTROL CRIME
Organized Drives Must Be
Continuous, Dr.. Nolan
Tells Rotarians.

Crime in Washington can be kept
at a minimum only by the constant
vigilance Of its citizens, DR.. James
Allen Nolan, executive director of the
Criminal Justice Association, told
members Of the Rotary Club at its
weekly meeting today at the Willard
Hotel.
To produce results, organized crime
drives must "be continuous, must con-
stantly be alert. must be representative
OF the thinking Of community leaders.
That there is need for continually sur
veying the field of local law enforce
ment has been apparent by the ac-
complishments of the association
which you, as citizens, created" DR..
Nolan said.
Declaring his association was not
opposed to leniency for first offenders
or properly administered probation. the
director said 1t was working for long
sentences for habitual criminals.
so that the entire record of any
person coming before the court can
be known to the court, the association
has insisted on indicting felons for
every crime which the police have evil
dence they commit. This has given
rise" he said, "to the practice on the
part of some judges to sentence fol
every crime, and not for only two, a.
was the previous practice"
DR.. Nolan said Washington was te
be congratulated on the appreciable
decrease in crime which a recent re.
port OF the Criminal Justice Associa.
tion showed.
