Uesfs Forests Being Burned Up
By Criminal Fire-Jetting Racket
Officials Ask Public
Aid in Hating
lncendiarism

Like mounties of the Canadian
wilds. officials Of the Pacific
Northwest are going into the
woods and waging war on
criminal fire-setting racket that is
eating black canyons in the great
est forest region on earth.
Here where nature promotes
dense growth of towering ever
greens, persons seeking jobs as
fire-fighters make a business" OF
backing out millions of dollars
worth of trees, according to Of
ficials.
"A surprising percentage of last
years siege of burns is laid to
this cause" asserts T. S. Good
year, Washington forest super
visor. ALREADY this year there
are clues pointing to more in
cendisry blazes.'
Federal Forests Burned
Thriving fir, hemlock, cedar and
pine in Washington. oregon and
Idaho are the prey of arsonists
from the first hot. dry blast of
weather in April to the last warm
spell in October.
Fourteen per cent of the fed
cral acreage burned last year in
Washington and per cent of that
burned in Oregon were intention
ally set sfire by job-seekers and
persons with malicious intent" re-
ports c. J. Conover, national
forestry official.
They laid waste 10 national.
state and private forests: sapling.
sccond-erowth and towering trees.
Hundreds of thousands of acres
OF them.
In western Washington alone,
not including the federal reserves,
incendarists set 406 fires last
year" relates c. S. Cowan, forest
fire association officer These
blszes swept 81 900 acres, or A per
cent of the state and private wood

Potential Jobs Destroyed
This acreage nearly equaled that
used in the areas production of
forest products and represented
enough to keep so per cent of its
industrial population employed, sc-
co"ding to Cowan.
Perhaps fourth of last years
total forest ruins in the northwest
arc attributable to the job racket.
Future job-supplying resources
were burned up, property de-
stroyed, some logging camps closed
and lives and communities endsn-
gered. There was heavy loss in
seed trees and recreational areas.
The number of criminal fires in
some areas increased four times
last year. Cranks and land ex-
ploiters were blamed with setting
many of them. Excluding other
causes, incendiary forest blazes
caused several million dollars in
damage.
Officials are determined to
stamp out arsonists. They have
trained staffs policing the north
vests forests. To aid them. they
are also seeking public action.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. April o.
Ed Mitchell. reporter for the Knox
vile News-Sentinel, spent 80 min
utes in Jail today for contempt Of
court when he refused to relate a
conversation with man accused
of boasting about liquor law viola
tions.
He was released and the contempt
order dismissed after he conferred
with counsel and then testified from
copy of an article he had written
regarding the conversation.
Mr.. Mitchell was called as a wit
ness in hearing for Alb Case, cited
for contempt on grounds he violated
a court injunction against the sale
OF liquor.
Both the NeWs-Sentinel and the
Knoxville Journal carried stories
recently quoting Case as saying he
would continue to sell liquor in
Knoxville in defiance of police.
Case denied through his attorney
today that he boosted" of liquor
sales.
Mr.. Mitchell admitted writing a
story which quoted Case as boasting
of violations, but said II don't care
to so into 1t except to say the article
is true"
Circuit Judge L. H. Carlock said
the article itself was not competent
evidence and that Mr.. Mitchell
must relate the conversation with

was ready to testify to the con-
versation.

kenotti's Opera Bouffe
Has Debut on Radio
BY the Associated presx

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. April 22.-Gian-
Carlo Menotti's The Old Maid and
the Thief" the first opera bouffe in
English written wholly for radio
by one man, had its premiere tonight
as the last of the seasons broad
casts by the so-called "Toscanini
Orchestral"
The outlaws of the audience in an
N. B. c. studio were echoed in homes
throughout the Western Hemi-
sphere.
Menotti is the 27-year -old COM
poser Of amelia Goes to the Ball"
which has been called the most
amusing American opera" Menotti,
American by adoption. was born
near Milan, Italy, and was a protege
of Mary Louise Curtis Box at the
Curtis Institute of Music in Phila-
delphia.
Menotti. who did the libretto as
well as the music, has again been
genuinely witty. The story is a
variation on the indestructible
theme OF the old maid who will do
anything to keep man around the
place.
The music is the same nervous,
brilliant type that has kept Amelia"
in the Metropolitan Opera repertoire
two successive seasons-and prob
ably for good. 1t is distinctly music
of the theater.
The principals were Mary Hopple
as the old maid, Margaret Daum as
Letitia, the servant; Dorothy Sarn-
off as Miss Pinkerton, the village
gossip, and Robert Weede as Bob,
the tramp who caused it all. Alberto

There is nothing Lett but relief.
Seek to Force State Action.
The strike is not against the school
directors. who are in sympathy but
have no money to meet the pay roll.
It is an attempt to force the State
to appropriate enough money to re-
lieve the schools and eventually to
put through legislation which will
forestall the same condition In years
to come. And 1t is an action to
draw attention to the fact that
some of the large coal companies,
which own virtually all the land,
are not paying their taxes. Some
say it Is not a strike at all, but a
lockout.
Through it all the teachers show
an amazing fortitude, good humor
and quiet dignity which draws
respect even from the parents of
the children who are now deprived
Of education.
But their dignity gives way ever
so slightly as they walk past the
new 100000 annex being built at
the Mount Carmel Township High
School. or the new and expensive
athletic field at the Edgewood dis
trict. They stop and look and shrug
their thin, undernourished shoulders
and walk on to apply for places
on the relief rolls.

Unpaid Teachers Are Driven
To Bootleg Coal Mining

SHAMOKIN, Pa, April ~ IN. A.
N. A).-From school teaching to
bootleg coal mining is the step be-
ing taken by scores of learned, dig
nif1ed but desperate pedagogues in
this once-fabulously wealthy region
Of the anthracite belt.
Their new work is the hardest
kind of manual labor. 1t is unfa-
miliar to the scholars, and highly
dangerous even to experienced min
ers. Every week adds to the toll of
death and injury in the unlighted,
unventilated, twisting mole holes
deep in the mountains, where thou
sands of unemployed miners are
scratching out bare living in the
unworked coal veins of a bankrupt
giant corporation.
But the teachers have families
just as the miners. Because sew
eral large coal companies are mil
lions of dollars in arrears in taxes.
the teachers have not been paid for
as long as eight months.
sl1,ooo,ooo Behind.
Last week, 260 in three districts
were on strike for their back pay
and guarantee of wages to the end
Of the term; 1000 children were on
enforced vacation. The State Leg
islature appropriated $2,65O,000 for
relief of distressed districts through
out the State, but it will take SILL
100000 to square the account, on
the estimate of DR.. Lester K. Ade.
head of the State Department of
Education.
A bootleg coal mine is nothing
more than a hole in. the side of a
mountain. The coal is hauled to
the surface in an old oil drum by
hand winch.
Half the teachers are on relief:
many have been dispossessed. One
grade school instructor in Coal
township was given a shirt last
Christmas by his pupils. He saved
it for a special occasion, wore 1t
once. The next day, his wife washed
it and hung it on the line to dry.
The landlord saw it. If you have
money for shirts, you can pay your
rent" he said. The young man, his
wife and child were evicted from
their home.
Homes Broken Up.
A mathematics instructor who
had spent II of his 20 years study
ing to be teacher and who, after
five years in the Coal township
schools, thought he had a secure
place in society, married last year.
Today his home is broken up be-
cause he couldn't pay the rent. He
still owes the hospital for the de-
livery of their child.
A science teacher is keeping his
wife and 10 children on sl5-a-week
relief check. An English teacher
had paid for five years on a new
home. That is gone now, and his
wife is living with her parents while
he shifts for himself.
You rarely see a teacher driving a
car here, although the walk from
one mountain town to another IS
hard and long. Their cars have long
since been repossessed.
Credit with storekeepers, bankers
and doctors, who have been patient
for eight months is now at an end

NORWALK, Ohio, April pa
comely widow, accused of plotting
her husbands death with the man
across the street." was expected to-
night to become a key State witness
in prosecuting her engaging neigh
bor-nght-hearted Harold Hastings.
Hastings. a 35-year-old steel
worker who wears a perpetual smile,
goes on trial Monday. He is charged
with first degree murder in the
death of Carl Schlett, 20, run down
and killed by a motor car last
January.
To Tell of Companionship.
The victims widow, Coletta
Schlett, %. will tell of CLOSE COM
panionship" with Hastings prior to
her husbands death, a source close
to the prosecution said today. She,
too, is charged with murder and is
scheduled to be tried later.
Prosecutor Rex Bracy asserted a.
25-page statement obtained from
Mrs. Schlett will have an important
SNoAAAA6 OAA Vic SdSC.
There's plenty of evidence of
completely between them" he said.
Defense Attorney Russell Ramsey
meanwhile insisted Hastings has an
"iron-clad" alibi. He has agreed
with Prosecutor Bracy on the ap-
proximate time of death, fixing it at
between Z and 9 pm, January 26.
Hastings waved a jury and three
judges will try the case.
Accused Is Confident.
Hastings, Jailed since March 7,
said he is absolutely positive" of
acquittal.
Il can prove I wasn't anywhere
near the place Schlett's body was
found" he said. I'm not worried"
Headlight glass was found near
the body on a snow-swept road
Hastings reported driving his car
into the rear of truck on the night
of Schlett's death. The machine
was found in garage, its right
front headlight broken.
Facing Hastings in the courtroom
may be two surprise" Witnesses
special investigators for an insur-
ance company which had written
policies on Schlett's life. One of the
policies, for $500, doubled in the
event of accidental death. A second.
for $500, was a straight policy.
MRS. Schlett was the beneficiary.
Payments under both are unclaimed.
