THIRTY YEARS AGO-19O8

A delegation of the Spokane
commercial club members enjoyed
a visit here thirty years ago. AT
this time they were greeted by the
military band and were given q
feed at the hotel. They later took
some fruit and Mayor L. E. johnson
accompanied them on their tour of
the eastern part of the state and on
to Spokane
The Kennewick Electric COM
pany had been sold to the North
Coast Electric company. which was
to be the successor to the North
West Light and Power company
H. w. Desgranges had returned
from visit to Rockford.

basket of delicious Muskat and
Black Hamburg grapes.

recent international axes Gf that's
the correct pluraD certainly are not
deer. suppose the theory is that
various international policies turn on
them. l don't think the analogy is a
very close one.
But never mind. We know what an
up-to-date diplomat means when he
says "ax-is.'' He means an under
standing between nations, without a
formal treaty. Treaties are not much
good anyway They're broken toe
readily. Some axes seem to be unre-
liable likewise. For example, the Ber-
l1n-sRone axis worked all right when
Hitler wanted to dismember Czecho-
slovakia. Aussolini turned his end of
the whizzer faithfully enough on that
occasion. Now however, that Mus
solini seeks to grab a lot of French
territory, Hitler doesn't twist his end
of the thing a bit theoretically.
Ours Is Better.
l fancy that our Pan-American axis
will operate a deal more perfectly We
Fan-Americans have, as a matter of
fact, much in common. It will pay us
to stick together.
To illustrate:
We in the United States don't like
foreign propaganda in our midst. The
Dies quiz has demonstrated that. It's
been a silly inquiry. Never theless it's
been rather popular, for we have
"bund'' or two which we're slightly
resentful of.
True, no sensible person takes these
outfits seriously. Under our present
immigration laws we have only COM
parative handful of born Germans in
the country. Most of the bunds' mem
bers are nativcb born sons or grand
sons of real Germans. Plenty of our
citizens of German ancestry are as
anti-Hitler as the rest of us are.
But consider the case, say, of
BRAZIL
Down south, in the vicinity of
Puerto Allegro, I've seen community
running into the hundreds of thous-
ands, where the language is German,
the signs are German, German is the
only tongue taught in the local
schools, and you can't get waited on
in store unless you speak q little
German. This population demands au-
tonomy virtual independence of the
Brazilian government as loudly as
the German Sudetens ever did. In
deed, they've attempted revolution.

Planting Of
Christmas
Greens Urged
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Dec. 20. = Planting of
Christmas green gardens as a means
of relieving the shortage of Christ
mas 60 q ccialiy of holly. was
today warmly urged by State Forester
j. S. Holmes, of the Department of
Conservation and Development. The
plan has been advocated by the Gar
den Club of Americas conservation
committee.
Individuals having enough avail
able space may do this kind of plant
ing or it may be undertaken on COM
munity-wide scale on land owned by
municipalities of counties. Landown-
ers who do not themselves desire to
undertake the planting will often CO.
operate by permitting use of their
land for establishment of commu-
nifty forest for growth of Christmas
greens, Holmes pointed out.
Planting of living Christmas trees
in yards, as we'll as clumps of ever
green's which can be used year after
year for Christmas wreaths, is also
advocated.
The Garden Club of America sug-
gests the establishment of town for
ests on vacant land near cities and
towns as joint projects by the Boy
Scouts. Girl Scouts, Campfire Girls,
All Clubs and other similar organiza-
tons, said Mr.. Holmes. "Hundreds
of young holly trees, as we'll as hun
dreds of cedar. spruce, balsam and
other evergreens should be planted
in these Christmas Green Gardens for
future use in order TO produce a fu-
ture supply of Christmas greenery.
"These forests can be planted on
and that at the present time is of lit
tie value. They will definitely improve
the land and raise its value, as we'll
as provide q sanctuary for birds and
small game.
Rural schools could also start
these Christmas green nurseries or
school land or on adjacent tracts
These gardens could also be used as
forest conservation projects and de-
nlonstration areas"

painstakingly as he can't, that there
isn't any such thing under the rural
identification statutes
Authorship of the handbills, how
ever has not been established. E. E.
Harms, an official of the Federal
REA, was in Arson at the time they
made their appearance. Immediate
ly prior TO that, earns had been in
the vicinity of Forest City working
on another project. The handbills
were printed by "The Courier Print,
Forest City, N. c."
The circulars presented the case
for Federally backed cooperatives in
most favorable aspect.
Among other things it read: THE
Rural Electrification Administration
loans the farmers organization money
to build these power lines to your
door at no cost to you" In actual
practice, however, the law is that
these loans must be repaid by the
co-ops, which would certainly seem
to include you" if ''you" are one of
the members and customers.
This is an effort of the Federal
government to help all rural people
to have better living conditions and
ccnveniences on a sound farm man
agement basis. To develop the en-
tire county and communities as q
whole.
Remember that short extensions
into your community deny most of
the farmers of electric service and
prevent the government and the CO.
operative from assisting you further.
Such extensions deny electric ser
vice from ell but the well-to-do- and
tears down community development
THE farmers organization is ope-
rated by a beard of directors which
are elected annually by the mem
bers of the organizat alton.
THE plan calls for the construc-
ton Of the lines within the very near
future"
State REA officials will not com
ment on the circular beyond &C
hitting that its distribution has
brought q number of requests for
some of the free" money promised
Records show, with regard to the
near future" in which the lines are
likely to be built to be something like
two years or more. To date the
most rapid development of a pro-
ject by the Federal REA in North
Carolina was in Caldwell county. In
that case the coop was formed in
August, 1886, but the very first pole
wasn't set on the project until some
time during the month of June, 1888
approximately two years later.

Days before the T. v. A. investiga-
ton could take shape. nimble-witted
congressional Investigators began to
digest the possibilities for making it
into headlines.
Back of every congressional inveS-
tigation that amounts to pinWeight
proportions is The crew of investi-
gators. They are keener than hack
saws and like no other type of in
vestigators. They are a breed unto
themselves.
They blow in from some unexpected
quarter, operate for the most part
without more than casual publicity,
then filter off into some other work.
An investigator with three years
experience makes an old master And
all this happens usually while the
man is in his late 20s or in his 30s.
Some Spotlight Cases.
Noted in the recent crop are Fer
dinand Pecora. whose flashing inves-
tigation of big financial names put
across the securities and exchange
legislation. Now he is on the New
York State Supreme Court. Stephen
Raushenbush headed the Senate

er young lawyers, helped Raushenbush,
in the State Department Reciprocal
Trade Division, Larouche in the In
dian Service.
Those Now at Work.
Busiest of present investigators are
Herbert A. Blomquist. head of the
Lobby Committee staff; Max Lowen-
thai, master of the hounds for Sen
ator Wheeler's Railroad Investigation
Committee. and Robert Wohlforth,
doing it for the Senate Civil Liberties
Committee.

and made good. Others from there
have failed.
Armed with Senate subpoenas they
move into the Office of some organ
ization whose activities are suspect.
A flash of subpoenas usually brings
out files of letters whose contents,
staring from headlines a month or
so later. provide endless torment for
their writer's and amazement or
amusement for the reading public.
Often the letter writer's refuse to
surrender their files and defy con-
gresslonal threats of punishment. Per-
haps equally often they accept the
inevitable, and cooperate.

gators work, take Blomquist. Before

For this reason, embassy officials
were unable yesterday to estimate the
number of German citizens travelling
or temporarily residing in the United
States. Rough estimates from New
York placed the number in that city
alone at between 100000 and 100000.
