GIVES WARNINGS

Creeping collectivism is the
menace which threatens the de-
struction of free enterprise in the
United States, according to the
thesis of Samuel B. Pettengill's
new book, "Smoke-Screen. -
(Southern Publishers, Kingsport,

This fortnight indictment of
increasing bureaucracy in the
United States, which the author
holds is inevitably leading to-
ward National Socialism, is not
the first venture in the field of
letters for this former Congress
man. His previous books were
Hot Oil'' and Jefferson, the
Forgotteu Man"
The United States is already
well started along the Nazi Road,
the author states. A lifelong
Democrat and for eight years a
Congressman from Indiana. Mr..
Pettengill believes that unless
this National Secialistie trend is
halted, the democratic liberties
of individuals of business and OF
industry will vanish.
The author refrains from sup
porting by Soap-box methods his
startling contention that Amer
lea is subtly being guided along
the same road which NaZi Ger
MANY followed. He does not
rant. He states his thesis and
supports it with facts.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Bob
Feller's second appearance of the
year for the Cleveland Indians
was marked by quite the OPP
posite sort of performance from
the opening-game, a no-hit no
run record-breaker turned in
last week. This time, against
the Detroit Tigers, Bob was
blasted from the mound in a
four-hit, five-run barrage in the
third inning.
First man up for Detroit, in the
first inning, knicked Teller for
a double. Charley Gehringer's
sharp double drove in the run
and the stage was set for the
third inning rally which sent last
weke's hero to the showers. De-
troit collected Is hits from four
hurlers and won the game;
hahdily, by the score of II to 2.
1t was the first defeat of the new
season for Cleveland.
White Sox came back from
decisive defeat on Saturday at
the hands of the St. Louis Browns
to rout the same club yesterday,
6 to 2. Timely hitting, produc-

Suddenly she felt tn I this

"Mildewed," corrected Toni.
At the airport, Toni was
thrilled with half-fear, and half
excitement. She actually leaned
on Bartell's arm and was relieved
to find it strong and dependable.

She developed an acute antago-

felt chilled through. How could
any pilot find a port in that pea

more alert, and more eager to re-

Bartell tried to explain things

Action Comes on Heels
Of Report by Him

The nomination of James j. Nc
Entee as director of the Civilian
Conservation Corps was sent to the

Mr.. McEntee, a native of New Jer-

the corps since its establishment in

Robert Fechner, has been acting
director. Word that he would re-

organization was given authorita-
lively on Tuesday after Federal Sc
curity Administrator Paul v. Nc
Mutt conferred with President
Roosevelt at the White House. The
c. c. c. is part of the security
agency.
Mr.. McEntees appointment comes
on the heels of a report he made
yesterday to the effect that several
million dollars yearly may be saved
by consolidation of the mechanical
equipment repair work of the corps.
Heretofore the three Federal de-
partments handling field work of the
corps have maintained their own
shops with Implications resulting.
Under the new system now being put
into effect 212 shops maintained by
the various establishments will be
reduced to So run by the c. c. C.
The reorganization was effected
after hearing was held by a neutral

Defending Alaska Is Defending u. S

It comes as something of shock hear General Mar
sha chief of staff urging immediate enlistment of national
guard units in Alaska.
The shock is from the suggestion, II is from the
fact it not done long ago.
Alaska's population is about 60000-haf of them In

fine air bases and potential air bases And Anchorage

It certainly minimum defense plan to organize national
guard units in every place where population will support
them the federal providing the armOres and
equipment usually furnished by the states.
President Roosevelt quite right in saying that it is
not sound defense policy to forfy the actual frontier and
wait The approaches which might be used by potential
attackers must also be secured England knows that now,
to her cost.
So it implies jingosm insist that Alaska be well
protected it is possible to make it. For it lies the
direct air road to North America the top of the
world.

Unexpectedly bombed to prevent its planes from fight

Even few companies of well-armed national guardsmen
might be of infinite help in situation like this So ele

But the defense of Alaska in the long depends on its
further development Alaska needs people.
That is why the senate ought not to dismiss without
careful consideration the King bill providing for organza
ton of development corporations through which private
capital could be attracted for settlement and development
of Alaska by American citizens and immigrants.
This is effort to meet important situation and IL
the bill drawn into valid objections it should be
