And it would seem, from the record
that it is indeed those local tourists
and week enders who spend much time
on the highways and in the woods who
are to blame. Railroads, logging oper-
atoms, brush and slash burning, light
ming and out and out incendiares. all
together did not reach the mark set by
smokers and campers alone.
We have state law which calls for
an ash tray in every vehicle, and pres
rmably it is being obeyed At the same
time it is obvious that those same ash
trays are not getting the use they
should. A law also prohibits the throw
ing of lighted objects from automobil-
les. 1t is obviously not being enforced.
Perhaps public opinion is ito blame, and
If so. public opinion ought to be jolted
from its lethargy by few arrests and

|ceivable that " lovers of the great

years ago of Italian parents of
Swedish origin, left home at Is as
cabin boy of Mediterranean
steamer and skipped ship at Alex
andria to begin his adventures.
He recalls that his first good job"
as an interpreter he got from an
American he knew only as Maj.
Smith, and whom he met while the
major was discussing an elephant
hunt with the Maharajah Of Kapur-
thaia.
Lectured in Many Countries.
AS writer he has visited more
countries than he can remember.
He travelled extensively in North,
South and Central America, and lee
tured on Fascism in the United
States, Argentina, Chile, Brazil,
Haiti, Guatemala, Cuba and Mexico.
The Mexican government once had
him expelled.
During his travels he founded two
newSpapers-Il Mattino dItaha in
Buenos Aires and II Corriere Eritreo
in East Africa.
He has written many books-with
intriguing titles. Some of them are
The Black Sphinx" I'm the Coun-
try of Naked Men," Cemetery
of Elephants The Green Ray
Islands, The Eagle of Chapultepec"
and "Buddah's Crisis"
Once he escaped political
assassination attempt in Ruenos
Aires. Again he was wounded by
shrapnel from bomb hurled in
Adds Ababa, where he was viceroy.
Talks With ii Duce.
The Spanish and Italian govern
ments decorated him for his work
as war correspondent in Spain.
In private life he is no talker. In
tight-ipped silence he likes to listen
to his friends, his slate -colored eyes
alght with interest under his enor-
nous eyebroWs-his most distin-
gushing physical feature.
Occasionally he talks with II Duce.
Friends say at such times he does

United States Told
By Most American
Italian Reporter
WorId-Roving AppeIius
Becomes Commentator;
Is Friend Of II Duce
BY GEORGE c. JORDAN,
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent


ROME. - Americans are being
told Off these days by Italy's
"most American" reporter.
He is Mario Appelius, a world
rowing color writer who got the
most American" title from his own
editors, who mean it as a compli-
ment He writes dynamic, circula-
ton boosting copy in language the
average Italian reader can under
stand.
1t was the late Arnaldo Mussolini,
the Premier's brother, who started
Appelius on his Journalistic career
On MuSsolinis own Milan news
paper, II Popolo dItalia.
Since them, for upwards of three
decades, this one-time runaway
cabin boy has held a niche of his
own in Italian Journalism.
He is one Of the few Italian re-
porters on terms of personal friend
ship with II Duce and in a position
to tell his editors to chase them
selves if they don't like his copy.
They usually like it.
Only since the development of
American tension, however, has
Appelius bloomed into a political
commentator.
He travels freely and writes what
he likes and his expense account
must be a thing of wonder to his
colleagues because he is so con-
sistently on that roam that his be-
wildered copy desk merely dates
all his stories - These two quote
marks are the italian equivalent
to the word somewhere" in the
datelines of American warfront
correspondents.
From Metz or Munich or Tripoli
he comments on President Roose-
velt's speeches and works at the
idea that Americans should stay out
Of the war, leaving Italy, Germany
and Japan to their own course with
Britain.
Americans 'are the most ignorant
people of the white race" he wrote
in a recent article a few days after
his column told of deep friendship
Of Italians and Germans for Amer
leans.
Began Adventures at 16.
He has said Americans are among
the worlds young people" and
young people" is about as sweet
q compliment as Fascists can pay
nation today.
Appealing to American business
sense" Appelius wrote in another
column that Americans could fall
heir to large pieces of the British
Empire by just going to a movie"
until the axis finished its business.
Appelius was born at Arezzo 48

BOGOTA, Colombia Oct. 26-The
Supreme Court, in a decision which

by the Shell Co., ruled today that
30 per cent of oil lands previously

The Shell Co. won a lower court

A group Of restrictive laws" in
Washington and elsewhere were as
sailed yesterday by Justice Justin
Miller Of the United States Court
OF Appeals as creating "a caste Of
American 'untouchables,' families
without a country who are con-
demned to roam like the Wandering
Jew-unable to get jobs and earn
Ivings; unable to qualify for relief"
He said these laws may be classi-
He'd as follows: Cd Laws to punish
.vagrants; CD ordinances to keep out
undesirables; 90 those to drive out
undesirables already present; %
those to shut the doors upon the
poverty stricken who do leave, and
90 laws to punish as criminal con-
duct the bringing into q State of a
person financially unable to provide
for himself.

Justice Miller told the Travellers
AID Society, holding its annual meet
ing IN the Y. w. c. A., that he did
not speak or behalf of the Court of
Appeals, but as one who was for
merry a transient himself, and as a
former member of the California
State Commission of Immieration
and Housing.
he cited as tragic and ironic in
consistency" in a recent newspaper
story hailing predicted tourist ex-
penditure here.
Wnlle the old habit still prevails
OF inviting all to come and be orr
guests, we watch our State lines
with shotguns and select those
F, whom we will permit to enter" he
said. ours is still an adolescent
ciVilzatlon, based largely upon that
philosophy Of rugged individualism
Which avoids all larger questions of
social significance"
Singled out for particular de-
nunciation by Mrs. Margaret Ford
executive secretary of the Travellers
Aid Society, were the legal resi-.
oence" requirements in relief laws
OF localities. She said in her an.
nual report that Impoverished citi-
zens who have initiative to leave
their home towns frequently find
themselves ineligible for relief there
or elsewhere.
Unbelievable Conditions,
Edward Everett Hale immortal
lied the tragedy of the Man Without
9 Country" she said, "yet today
washington has its own share of
unbelievable social conditions among
the displaced, unsettled and un-
wanted, of whole families literally
without country, although they are
American-born citizens.
THE social workers who are meet
Ing these people face to face, listen
ing to babies and young children
crying with hunger and cold, see
ing the desperation or despair in the
eyes of the parents, realize that the
conditions affecting the victims of
the wars across the seas are no
more appalling and unbelievable
than those which exist right here
IN Washington =" she asserted.
Families are starving and freezing
families who are capable and will

Mrs. Harlan Fiske Stone, wife OF
the Supreme Court Justice, pre-
sided at the meeting as president
Of the society.
