GUNNERS ARE
CAUTIONED TO
USE FORESIGHT
Advised Not To Fire Guns With
IN A Distance Of Half A
Mile Of CCC Camp

art large number of CCC
Camps located in Maryland and the
young men of these camps have done
excellent work for the State not only
for forestry but for wildlife and fol
the prevention of erosion.
Therefore, an appeal is made at this
time to hunters to be careful not to
shoot toward a CCC Camp or in the
vicinity where men are working. In
fact, there should not be any hunting
done within IL mile Of any CCC Camp
or where men are at work either on
the road or in the forest, thus prevent
ing injury of anyone through neg1-
gence. By cooperation in this man
ner a life which is more valuable than
any species of bagged game, may be
saved.
The Superintendent of all CCC
Camps have received orders from Mr..
Robert Fechner, Director, Civilian
Conservation Corps, to post warning
signs about 1-2 mile in all directions
surrounding said camps and where
men are working to prohibit hunting
within said area.
Also, cooperation is sought in pre-
venting the "red menace" (FIRE)
from destroying forest areas. 1t Is
dangerous to drop matches or empty
pipes or throw lighted cigar or Gig
arctic on the ground unless the fire
is out and no danger can arise there
from. Cooperation will prevent SER
ious forest fires and save not only
wildlife, but covers and foods on which
wildlife must depend, and also save
valuable timber areas which are very
essential to the State.

of the roads there, as in various coun-
tries, are hard on tires. and motor
lists invariably carry at least two
spares, which have to be arranged
for.
That recalls a revived motoring
relic, the crank. A motorist stalled
on the weld deep in Africa's interior
might have to walk a couple of
hundred miles to the nearest ga
rage, or wait long time to be
towed. So almost all exported cars
have hole drilled through the radi-
ator grille to accommodate the
crank.
Extensive alterations are made on
cars shipped to Sweden, Paraguay,
the British Empire and other ma
tons using the right-hand drive. An
entirely new instrument panel is re-

must be used, and changes are made
in the engine assembly. One manu-

Hopes of League Die a'Borning;
Costly Palace Is Left Haunted

GENEVA. A $1,000, 900 monu-
ment to unfulflled dreams of world
peace, the League of Nations pal
ace, has already become a symbol
of bygone days although completed
a scant three years ago.
Standing on the shores of one of
Switzerland fairest lakes, the most
monumental building Europe has
erected in recent times lies ghost
like and haunted by what one cor
respondent called ''the dreams of
stronger men" Since 1926 a total
of Is nations have left the security"
of the League and today only three
major powers-France, Great Brit
ain and RusSia-retain membership.
Contracts for the building were
let on March l, 1881, after elaborate
preparations in which architects of
five nations participated in an effort
to preserve international harmony.
In further effort, from 300 to 500
workmen representing 10 different
nationalities helped raise the struc-
ture. On the walls of the council
chamber is series of murals by
Jose-Maria Sert, internationally cele-
brated Spanish artist, designed to
picture mankind's long struggle for
peace. Ironically, these murals
were the gift of Spain.
Designed in several buildings, the
palace has a secretariat consisting
of 400 offices, the headquarters of
Secretary General Joseph Avenol
who has been under severe fire from
lesser league members for failure to
transmit complaints from Albania
and Czecho-Slovakia, swallowed"
by Italy and Germany, respectively.
Avenol is alleged to represent the
less forceful type of League leader
ship which has recently taken con-
troll, represented also by British
Foreign Minister Viscount Halifax
and Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain, neither of whom wishes to
enforce the League covenant.

Latin American republics at the
Buenos Aires conference in 1886. As
the official United States agency CO.

organizations and radio groups in
advancing American cultural ties
with foreign nations, DR.. Cheering

tivities." He was assured by Secre-
tary of State Cordel Hull that the
United States will make no effort to
force ideologies down the threats of
listeners in other nations; that he
would proceed along democratic
lines in keeping with democratic ira
dition and precedents.
Cites Respect for q. S. Radio.
This, however, does not conform
with the Interpretation Mr.. Miller
places on the new FEC ruling. In a
world of propaganda, the radio Off
cial has found this to be true:
Freedom of speech as an integral
part of the culture of this country
not only is cherished tradition, but
living reality. We are advised by
several licensees of international
broadcast stations that foreign lis
teners rely upon stations in the Unit
ed States as a source for unbiased
and uncensored news of the world.
This reliance is based upon the fact
that these listeners know that in the
United States there is no govern
ment supervision or control over the
matter to be broadcast. We feel
that the confidence that has been de-
veloped in the independent opera
tons of American short wave sta
tons will be destroyed when it be-
comes known that an agency of the
government has laid down re-
quirements to control the program
content of these stations.
The most effective way to devel-
op and foster international good will
by the United States is to avoid
copying the tactics of totalitarian
governments who supervise and di-
rect all broadcasting."
q. s. Broadcasters Successful.
Privately sponsored American sta
tons have thus far been very sue
cessful in winning listeners abroad.
This was revealed before the FEC
by Frank E. Mason, director of in
ternational programs for the Nation
al Broadcasting company, during
hearings probably intended to de-
termine the advisability of an Off
cial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT interna-
tional broadcasting system.
Four principal corporations are
now engaged in this work, the Ma
tional Broadcasting company, Co
lumbia Broadcasting system, Gen.
eral Electric company and Westing-
house Electric company. Together
they sent more than 400 hours of
material each week by short wave,
about IS per cent of which is aimed
at South America. This is also the
principal objective of German and
Italian broadcasts, whose reception
has been abetted not only by mar
row broadcast beams but by low
priced short wave receivers sold to
South American listeners and
locked" on the wave lengths of GER
tain European stations.

Foreign Auto Buyers Keep U. S. Factories Busy

Because cars follow OK cart tracks
in Brazilian jungles, because ma
room is the royal color of Egypt, be-
cause Holland has so many canals
and South Africa so few repair
shops, and because of numerous for
eign customs and regulations, vehi-
cles for export take a thousand
and-one equipment combinations un-
known In this country.
Consider the matter of tires on
vehicles going abroad. As trucks
with dual wheels don't fit in the
deep ruts of the back country roads,
many heavy vehicles intended for
foreign ports are equipped with sin
gle wheels, larger-than-standard in
diameter and requiring special tires.
Passenger cars operating In Al

wide tires for driving in desert sand,

By JEROME ARNOLD

Released by Western Newspaper Union.l
Twenty years ago the United
States officially discarded it's
weapon of propaganda, warren
forced, and set about reviving a
true democracy in which there
should be free speech, a free
press and no holds barred.
In the years that passed
other nations found free ex-
pressions of opinion a handi-
cap. Dictators arose with
special rows to hoe in which
part truths were more effec-
tive than whole ones, both for
home consumption and abroad. Ra-
dio scared into being, the mightiest
modern instrument of propaganda.
Soon the worlds ether was torn by
fiery cross currents, Fascist against
Communist, dictator against democ-
racy.
More specifically: Germany, Italy
and japan are now directing propa-
ganda via short wave to Latin
America, the continent which the
United States promised to protect
in its historic Monroe doctrine. Die
tators are vieing for political, Gull
tural and economic supremacy on
the worlds last unexpected frontier.
Propaganda Forces Censorship.
Propaganda's most alarming quail
ity is that it spreads like a cancer,
forcing innocent nations to launch
counter-campaigns for self protec-
ton. In turn, these counter-cam-
paigns may grow until nations die
tate what their radio stations and
newspapers tell foreign nations.
That is censorship, suppression of
free speech and free press.
This subject is pertinent today be-
cause the United States has begun
active participation in the modern
World war of propaganda, a partici-
patton started voluntarily several
years ago by Independent radio or
CARNATIONS but now under increas-
ing surveillance from Washington.
This surveillance has reached
such heights that the much maligned
federal communications commission
recently issued an unprecedented or
der to IA International stations
which broadcast by short wave,
principally to Latin America. The
order demanded that after next No
vember l all foreign broadcasts
must promote international good
will, understanding and co-opera-

THREE Shattered HOUSES
By BEN AMES WILLIAMS

"Heale can't be here. He's laid up
"a bad cold from last night. But
he's lending us a couple of men,"
And he said, half to himself:
Here are two women killed. A
man don't often kill a woman unless
he loves her, or has loved her."
They passed the two houses which
still stood atop the hill; but Clint
scarce noticed them. 'You mean
Mr.. Leaford?" he cried, in incredu-
lous establishment.
''But a woman don't mind killing
another woman" said the Inspec-
tor grimly, as though finishing his
thought; and Clint looked at him
with wide startled eyes.
Before he could speak the ques-
ton in his mind, man appeared
in their headlights, a policeman in
uniform; and they stopped. Tope
opened the car door.
Hello, Rand" he said. Doctor
still there?"
The policeman nodded. "And I've
got the ladder" he reported. Hid
it over in the woods"
"Good man." Tope approved, and

ed window in the kitchen. Tope was
at the rear corner there. The win
dow-blind was drawn; but by NOV
ing out a little from the house, Clint
could see rectangle of light where
the window was. Some one was pre-
pairing supper - talking, probably.
Tope stood just below the window,
as though listening.
Inaction began to madden him,
when at last there came an Incl
dent to relieve the strain: door
opened; someone came out.
Clint saw that this must be JUS
tus Tame, heavy figure of a man,
walking with head bowed. He saw
this man pause yonder by the ash
filed cellar of the Hurder house
and stand for moment beside the
pit as though in some dark recov-
cry, before he went on.
Later a light appeared in the
Tame house, behind curtained
window; then nothing happened for
a while.
Clint had time for thought, and
he remembered his own suspicious
of Justus Tame, and was glad Taine
was no longer here In the house
with June. But-Tope had dismissed
Clint's theory, and the young man
remembered this, and his nerves
drew taut again. When someone
touched his elbow, he leaped like a
startled horse, ready to cry out, but
Tope whispered:
Hush, steady, son!"
Clint nodded; he tried to speak,
but his voice croaked dangerously.
He lifted the ladder, Tope helping
him; and they leaned it against the
window-sill above them without q
sound.
Clint climbed it instantly; he
stopped with his head level with the
sill. Since there was no light in
the room, he could not see whether
the shade was drawn or not; but
he waited, striving to peer into the
blackness behind the glass.
Once he looked down cautiously,
and saw TOPICS round figure hud.
