hung up and resumed work. But a moment later his secretary burst in all excited.
 There's beenJa terrible mixup somewhere" he cried. "They just called me from New York and wondered what had hap pened to your speech. It didn't come over the loud speaker."-
 "Well," laughed Knudsen, I know I delivered it. The teIe- phone operator can testify to that"
 "Yes, I checked with the op- orator. You made the speech all right but the man at the other end somehow didn't plug it in to the loud speaker. He was the only one who heard the talk. They want to know if you will make it over again."
 Sure" said Knudsen, "the other time was a good rehearsal. I'll do 3 lot better. Fix up the : connection"
 FRENCH FLEET
 U. s. naval observers abroad have picked up some worrisome reports of German plans to take over the French fleet and use 1t in conjunction with the Italian and Nazi fleets against the Bri- tish.
 The French still have some pow erful cruisers, most of them sta- tioned at the key naval base of Dakar on the bulge of West Africa.
 So far, almost nothing has been heard of the Italian fleet, and its chief activity seems to be dodg- ing the British fleet in the Medi- terranean. However, should the remainder of the French fleet be added to the Italian and German navies, the British would face serious menace.
 This combined fleet might also be disastrous for South America and the Monroe Doctrine. The Germans plan to use Dakar, ac- cording to intelligence reports, to disrupt British shipping to In- dia, Australia and New Zealand which now must pass around the Cape of Good Hope; second as a hopping-off place to South America - if and when their European troubles are over.

SuALS Ol tIllS T6- search were first outlined by tti. writer in a series of exclusive ar. ticles some six months ago, giving a survey of changes technology has already brought to the farm it was roundly criticized for beins a picture of unmitigated gloom Publication of the final report however, confirms the original for. cast and, if anything, spreads thu gloom on thicker, for it finds:
 l. There are now 1,500, ,000 farm workers totally unemployed, with an equal number whose incomes are under the subsistence level.
 2. There will be a further dis placement of from 350, 900 to 5OO,- 900 men in the coming decade.
 3. Farm population will rise by 100000 by 1850.
 4. Pathological changes and inn proved seed varieties and farming practices will vastly increase farm production in some of the very lines in which over-production is now a problem.
 Then it outlines a suggested pro- gram to meet this situation. PLAN AID
 TO MIGRANTS
 First suggestion is for vast rural works program, to keep all idle farm hands busy on a soil conservation and reforestation program-a gi- gantic affair whose cost was arlier estimated at upwards of half bil- lion a year. Great extension of the existing farm security admins tration program for aiding migrant labor is also urged, as is extension to farm workers of law like the wage hour act, plus old age and un- employment insurance benefits.
 A varied program is proposed to encourage development of the fam ily-sized farm:
 l. Expansion of the tenant-pur- chase program, to enable tenants and sharecroppers to become farm owners.
 2. A rule that none but fam ily-sized, owner operated farms be permitted on reclamation projects and other ''made-land" develop mentS.
 3. A program for buying up good land in areas now farmed in large unit sand sub-dividing it in- to smaller farms.
 4. Use of government funds to buy land from farmers who wish to retire and to resell it to young men who cannot find farms.
 Development of rural industries- possibly through outright subsidiza- tion-together with decentralization of existing heavy industries into rural areas wherever possible, is also urged. Coupled with this is 8 plea for 8 vast extension of non-com- mercial or Subsistence homestead" farming into fertile territories where that kind of farming is not now known.
 Lastly, it is urged that consump- tion be increased by expansion of such devices sthe food stamp plan, and that commodity loans, acreage control and similar programs be con- tinued in effect.
 OUTCOME
 UNCERTAIN
 All of this adds up to blueprint for sweeping change = a far more fundamental set of changes than anything Rexford Tugwell ever proposed.
 What will happen to the whole program thus suggested is of course extremely uncertain. It depends largely on the way the current war situation develops, partly on the out come of the approaching election, partly on the vigor which the agri- culture department pushes for &C., ton.
 But one thing is uncertain: here is the broadest and most cornpre- hensive piece of "social planning, {" for good or for i'll. that the Roose- welt administration has yet brought forward

will rise to the wriggling worm or
other live bait dangling from a hook.
The more lively varieties of trout
are to be found all over the noun
tain areas of the East, from New
England to Maryland. The Ozarks
and Black Hills also are rich in this
species. From the Rocky Mountains
to the Pacific Coast various species
of trout flourish. Varieties common
to certain sections only at one time
now are to be found almost univer-
sally as q result of transplanting.
California trout, for instance, now
can be caught in all parts Of the
East.
Since nearly all the trouts and sal
mons spawn in the fall, open fishing
seasons are established in the spring
and summer. There has been a
tendency, according to the Federal
Bureau of Fisheries, toward later
dates. This is occasioned by the
large increase in the number OF
anglers, and because Of the fact
that many States have adopted a
policy of restocking streams with
trout larger than the prescribed legal
sizes. Certainly, says the Bureau
the fish rise better to artificial bats
and fight harder when the waters
have warmed up. Thus more sport
is provided and at no greater cost.
The Bureau comes forward with
some thoughts and advice on fly
fishing. This scientific method OF
angling, 1t says, while long found

glerS for their beauty and fighting
qualities, are the trouts. Numerous
kinds of trout are to be found in all
parts of the country. the most COM
mon being the brook trout, speckled
or brown in color and having small
scales. The trout is not only one
of the gamest and most graceful
inhabitants of the waters but is one
of the most varied in marking and
coloring. Regarded by many as the
most beautiful member of this fam
lily is the rainbow variety, which de-
rives its name from the silvery and
black marking and reddish stripping
on its sides.
Largest of this species is the
salmon trout, also known as the
Great Lakes trout or namycush.
Sometimes weighing as much as 80
pounds, this variety is one of the
hardest fighters that swim.
Trout provide one of the most
artistic forms of fishing casting for
the brook variety in cool forest or
mountain stream. But the veteran
will tell you that one must choose
the right kind Of fly, the most likely
pool, the suitable time of day with
regard to light and wind, and the
best angle of cast.
While brook trout fishing is q
pastime requiring a practiced hand
and degree Of technical knowledge
that bespeaks the master fisherman,
it Is not limited to such individuals.

most effective and exhilarating in
fishing for members of the trout and
salmon family, is becoming more
and more popular in fishing for
other species. In fact, the list Of
species that can be enticed to strike
a combination Of hook, feather and
tinsel is long and growing.
Line Is Important.
In fly fishing the rod is longer,
lighter and more timber than in
bait casting. The reel is said to be
Of no consequence save as line
holder and is not used to any great
extent in hooking or playing or
landing the fish. With the possible
exception of the rod, the line is the
most important part Of the fly fish
erman's equipment. Generally the
tapered line (the caliber being
smaller at the ends than In the
middle) is the most popular and
likewise the most expensive. How
ever, a level enameled line can be
obtained at more moderate cost, and
will serve the angler well.
The flies used, wet or dry, can be
obtained in about 800 patterns.
Quaint nomenclature characterizes
the flies, such as Royal Coachman,
Professor, Silver Doctor, Parmache-
nee Bell, Black Gnat, White Miller
and Grizzly King, all effective in
most waters.
However, there is generally one fly

Uncle Sam takes hand through
his Bureau of Fisheries, a unit of
the Department of the Interior.
The bureaus chief duty is protection
and conservation of fish in the
Nations lakes, ponds, rivers and
brooks and ocean water which
touches its shores.
The bureau functions in close CO.
operation with State fish and game
departments, with the result that
today there is ready for the hook
an unprecedented supply and va
riety Of fish. Some idea of WASH
ington's helpfulness to anglers may
be gained from the fact that an
nually the Bureau of Fisheries prop
agates and distributes more than
5000, 900 eggs, fry and flngerlings to
the States.
Almost universal ownership of au-
tomobiles has become q tremendous
factor in promoting sport fishing,
for it enables almost all who would
fish to reach remote sections where
fishing is really something. Thus
multitudes now are able to enjoy a
recreation which formerly was con-
fined mainly to barefoot boys and
wealthy sportsmen.
New legions of anglers discover,
also, that fishing means much more
than the mere catching Of fish. It
provides an opportunity to get into
the woods. to come into closer con-
tact with Mother Nature and to
! learn and thrill over her secrets.

water at some time or other, and the
best way to find out such things is
to consult those who are fishing
those waters.
Uncle Sam sketches the rudiments
of fly fishing technique but with the
reservation that experience, in the
final analysis, is the real teacher.
Sport Of All Glasses.
Fishing is the sport of all classes
and may be pursued in any climate.
It's differences are primarily In
character Of equipment and the ma
ture Of the catch. Every body Of
water has particular species, de-
termined to a large extent by the
temperature and altitude of the
region.
It is this fact which accounts
in large measure for the universally
of the sport. Its widespread, popu-
larity, however, is influenced by
other factors. Living in the remoter
places, away from the beaten path
of man, this particular form of
life invites those who 60 after fish
into the most glorious of natural
surroundings.
Angling has attained an i'm
portance in the national life that
commands the fostering attention
of the Federal Government and the
individual States, not to speak of
numerous sportsmen and other or
ganizations.
