WASHINGTON. d. c.. April 6.
The Federal Governmen emit,
through cooperation of the ma
iional and the state forest serv-
ices. has begun a campaign for
establishment of community for
ests in Monroe and surrounding
counties. and will offer free tech
meal help. trees at cost. WPA
projects and loans to communi-
ties interested in such a venture.
This campaign has resulted
from studies of the u. S. Forest
Service, the National Resources
Board, and other agencies of
government over the past several
years, and was officially begun
by President Roosevelt in his re-
cent message to Congress on for
estry, in which he emphasized
the need for local forest owner
ship. The studies revealed that
the future need is for commune
ty rather than state or national
forests.
Benefits Of locally-owned for
csts are. many, officials of the
Forest Service claim, such as
their use as work reservoirs,
for watershed and flood control
protection, community recreation,
protection for wildlife and flow
ers, producers of lumber and
other forest crops, and as a pro-
wider of profits to support town
or community and eliminate tax
es.
Studies of community forests
in Europe have convinced Fed
cral officials such forests should
be established here. European
citizens receive bonus checks
from operation of local forests in
stead of tax bills to maintain
towns, and the European city
without its forests is an excep-
ton. In some countries, forests
pay dividends TO citizens as high
as So an acre.
While the idea has not been
developed in this country to any
extent. many American towns
and communities, it is said. have
discovered that community for
ests pay as they grow, providing
profits for taxpayers and wages
for unemployed by using cheap,
abandoned, tax-delinqucnt, or
otherwise waste land TO produce
a crop of trees"

Ickes has been conducting a Don Quixote battle against steel com panies, cement companies and others he accuses of collusive bidding on materials for public works projects He refuses to think it is coincidence when cement companies offer iden- tical bids right down to the penny for cement for dams and bridges, even though one manufacturer may be right next door to the job and others a thousand miles away. The same about steel companies.
 Repeatedly he has turned these identical bids over to the Depart ment of Justice for investigation. If the companies are getting to- gether before submitting bids it is illegal under the various fair trade acts. Fines and prison sentences can be imposed. Nothing much has

] . KANSAS CITY, May 30. - The General Federation of Women's Clubs will operate for the next three years with the age limit for junior club members at thirty instead of hirty-fiveLbut independent juniors had their own ideas.
 Mrs. Roberta Campbell Lawson of Tulsa, the outgoing president, said the two million-members organiza- ton had no other recourse than to abide by the action despite protests of many juniors that were absent at the time
 Members of the California junior delegation said they already had the thirty-year limit in operation and were in accord with it. Missouri delegates, however, expressed dis pleasure and indicated they would disregard the action.
 Until woman is thirty she is too busy looking for man to be occupied with useful junior club activities one delegate said.

Juvenile Courts
 Given Hard Swat

SAN BERNARDrNO, Cal, May 30. Jesse Olney, former judge of the superior court, is in favor of doing away with juvenile courts.
 "It is fast developing into a cofll- plete system of Fascism," he writes in the California State Bar Jour nal. Our youth are jailed, bailed, granted or denied rights on the mere order of probation officers, county attorneys, sheriffs n d other executive officers"
 On the other side, it presents the great loophole to young crimi- nals in their escape from punish ment," he writes. We turn them over to the juvenile court, which turns them again loose on the com munity on probation"

happened yet in the way of prose cution, although J. Edgar Hoover's G-men are working on some cases. The companies deny any collision.
 Meantime Ickes works his own little trick When the bids come in all identical as to amounts, he gives the job to the company farth- est from the dam or bridge being built. If they are going to do that, says he, we might just as well give the railroads a little of the money by letting them haul it the longest possible distance.
 The Comptroller General once tried to interfere by insisting that when identical bids were offered the decision should be made by drawing lots. But Ickes demurred; as an executive officer, he said, he would decide how the contracts should be awarded. And he does.

  Fish

BUEBLO, Col, May 30. When a contest committee tossed three large rainbow trout into Pueblo swim ming pool and then gave the signal for about 40 swimmers to get 'em, they thought the job would take more than a few minutes. But after only few dives, James Hall, Grover Jacobs and Bob Hosttetter, high school boys, came up clutching the three fish. The mountain trout usu- ally are hard to land after being hooked to a fishing line, so the com mittee decided the warm water had enervated them.

 LINK HITS AT NEW .SHOW WIS IN N. Y.
Producers Are Going About with Fingers Crossed
 But with Light Step
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, May 30.-Since the beginning of the theatrical season Broadway showmen have been bat ting a transatlantic jinx. At the moment they feel they have con- quered it, but if you mention it in tone above a whisper you are very likely to revive their terrors.
 Producers suffering from this jinx are obsessed with the notion that no play that succeeds in London has the ghost of a chance on Broadway. Similarly, a Broadway success, they fear, is doomed to early destruction in Piccadilly Or at any rate, that was the hallucina- tion before two ocean-crossers dis armed the hoodoo by flourishing on alien soul.

alien soul.
 ] It all began when George And Margaret London success, came quick cropper over here last Aut- umn It had been proclaimed a British mos3el of last years Pulitzer prize play, You Can't Take It With You" and its success seemed certain. The British Empire repaid our hostility to George And Mar garrett by rejecting You Can't Take It With You" with even shorter shrift than we accorded their fav- orite.
 Shortly thereafter another of our hits, Room Service perished in London. We retaliated by having no part of London's '"rime and the Conways" It was at this point that Victor Payne-Jennings, one of Lon don's most prominent sh W m e Il, came to New York to produce "Whiteoaks.
 Appalled, by these transatlantic disasters, he instructed his staff to hush all news relating to the suc- cess of his play in London-which was rather difficult, since it was known to be the British capitals oldest hit and, moreover, Ethel Barrymore was announced as the star of the American version
 When the play went to Montreal, Toronto and other try-out cities previous to its New York premiere, Payne Jennings had recurrent agon- ies. He feared word of it's prosper ity on tour would strengthen the jinx on it. And when Washington supported it generously, the Brit ish producer was reluctant to re- turn from Palm Beach to witness the debacle he was sure the first night would bring.
 In the three days intervening be- tween the Washington closing and the New York opening, everybody connected with "Whiteoaks" went about with the dispirited air of one about to lose his head. The jinx rested heavy on them, and nothing could dissaude them from their conviction that their enterprise was marked failure.
