NEWS LETTER
From
CONGRESSMAN WIN. F. ALLiN

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY-A
brighter outlook is ahead for both
business and industry. The most inn
portant helping point will be reached
through the program Of national de-
Tense. Much talk is heard of a bill
lion dollar program to be privately
financed, a program of railroad re-
organization and modernization and
plan for training skilled workers
in order to overcome the shortage.
All these are means of breaking into
new program for recovery. Still
important, in the attempt TO bring
this country back to normal, are
home building and automobile in
dustries.
IMPROVEMENT IN DEMAND FOR
FARM PRODUCTS-Improved con-
ditions affecting the domestic demand
for farm products were reported by
the Bureau of Agricultural EconO-
mics. Industrial activity has ex-
panded and consumer incomes have
increased in recent months. The
Bureau indicated that this should be
REFLECTED soon in a better demand
for farm products. During the last
month there was practically no net
change in prices received by farm
ers. Prices of cotton, fruits, eggs,
and dairy products advanced. The
improved European political situa-
ton is favorable to a revival of the
cotton textile export business of
European countries. The farm sup
ply of feed grains was reported to be
the largest for this time of the year
since 1882.
WOMEN HOLD u OF SOCIAL
SECURITY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Of the social security account num-
bers issued by the Social Security
Board have been assigned to women.
A majority of more than "a out of
every 100 holders of account cards,
are younger persons, under 81, who
have more than 80 years in which to
build up their rights to monthly re-
tirement benefits at age IS.

about Dangers Of Skidding

trous skid. Smooth, worn tires and
unequal brakes. or air pressure are
also frequently the causes OF serious
skids.
Stopping on slippery or icy streets
is often difficult. The first rule for
safe stopping under these conditions
Is to begin slowing your car at some
distance from the spot where you
wish to stop. At first, press your
brake lightly and release almost at
once. Then press it again, release
quickly, and repeat. BY using this
method, instead OF applying your
brakes continuously. you can usually
stop without skidding.

You must be quick about this or the

Swerving suddenly, or jamming
on your brakes at high speed may
cause skidding on dry roads. A slight

ALBANY, N. Y, March lo.-New

today Of legislation designed to oust
from public of1ice persons advocating
forceful overthrow Of existing Ameri-
can Government. The measure then
was sent to Gov. Lehman for action.
The bill admittedly was introduced
by Democratic Senator John j. Nc

examiner.
Gov. Lehman recently declined to

groups.
Assembly opposition to the measure
was led by Republican Abbot Low

the most un-American bill we have
ever had before this House"
This is the type Of legislation that

he said. I'VE in this country have

JAMES ROOSEVELT
CONSIDERS RACE
Bundle of Petitions Asks Him
to Run for Office in
Bay State.

BY the Associated Press.
James Roosevelt weighed the posi-
bilities of political career in Massa-
chusetts last night against continuing
as secretary to his father.
While ne pondered petitions urging
him to become a candidate for lieu
tenant governor in the September pri-
mary, his friends In Congress guessed"
he would decide eventually to keep his
White House job. They said he had
political ambitions but was unlikely to
run for office this year.
Young Roosevelt told group OF
Massachusetts, Democrats who placed
a 3O-pound bundle Of petitions on his
desk that he would require a few
weeks consideration before giving his
final reply.
Pointing out he became his fathers
secretary only little more than a year
ago, Jimmie" said:
II must seriously consider II it is
not my duty and obligation to con-
tinue that service"
Members Of the Bay State group
said the Presidents son was the only
hope Of the party in avoiding a split
in Democratic ranks"
Behind their effort to draft young
Roosevelt Ito consolidate the party
they said, was Democratic Gov,
Charles F. Hurley's unsympathetic at
titude toward the administration pro.
grams for foreign trade and flood con-
troll and his opposition to the pending
child labor amendment.
Charles Maliotis. a member of the
Massachusetts State Democratic Com
mittee and spokesman for the Bay
Staters, told reporters:
I'VE understand the President needs
him, but We need him too. It is our
wish Mr.. Roosevelt will say yes as
soon as possible

I'D Secretary Hull said he was
studying Soviet Foreign Minister Lit
vtnoH's suggestion for an international
conference on collective action
against aggressor nations. but the
State Department attitude toward the
proposal was chilly.

dent Roosevelt said he was not con-
sidering lifting the embargo on arms
to Spain. He declined to answer q
question as to whether any tangible
steps were being taken to relieve the
situation in Europe.
MaSnuson Plan Beaten.
BY q vote OF 86 to 81, the House
rejected an Amendment by Repre-
sentative Magnuson. Democrat, OF
Washington. to require construction OF
all the proposed ships in Government
yards. Representative Vinson, the
chairman Of the House Naval Com
mittee, said such a change would cost
the Government at least 12l, ,000, 900
to equip the Philadelphia, Norfolk and
New York Navy rards.
An attempt to limit profits Of pri-
vate shipbuilders to specific amounts
also went by the board.

know as moose is called an elk
But everybody says elk" so elk
1t is.
The magnificent American elk once
ranged pretty well all over that part
OF the continent now occupied by the
United States. The early settlers
quickly exterminated it in its orig
lnal range east Of the Mississippi, and
toward the close of the 10th century it
was being rapidly driven to its last in
the Western States. The elk isn't very
hard to hunt. Its hide was a COM
mercially valuable leather commod-
lty, its head makes an attractive
trophy, and at one time there was
heavy traffic in elks' teeth, and many
a noble specimen was killed merely for
its teeth.
The slaughter Of elk in wholesale
quantities was easy when the snow
was deep, because they stick in COM
pact herds, habit that exposed the
buffalo to virtual determination. There
were elk in New England in the early
days, and they survived in Michigan,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
pennsylvania until the settlers wiped
them out
In the present range Of the elk win
ter feed is the great problem. The
protected valley lands have been ap-
propriated for domestic herds, which
monopolize the old natural winter
feeding grounds Of the elk. Here and
there, notably in the Jackson Hole
country, the nucleus Of the Yellow
stone elk herd is cared for through
the winter months by artificial feeding
and pasturage on the elk refuge main
tanned by the United States Biological
Survey and the State Of Wyoming in
cooperation.
These provisions plus those of the
National Park Service will insure the
elk against extinction, but they are
entirely inadequate to increase the
existing population.
The elk has q place in the Wild
life week poster stamp series because it
iA one OF the outstanding victims of
civilization. A hundred million Is
what the naturalists figure the elk
population to have been in this coun-
try when the white man began to take
charge.
In view of the fact that the State of
Wyoming estimates the economic re-
turn from every elk taken in season
by the sportsmen as approximately
800 and that head of beef, the elk's
chief rival for existence. is lucky to
bring half that amount it might be
good business to raise more elk and
less beef in some quarters.
