SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. THE
biggest resort operator in business
today in the West is our Govern
ment. Take the nearest road to a
national forest out here, and there
is no question as to Federal recog-
milton of recreation as an important
forest by-product, or of the gen.
eral public's enthusiastic co-opera-
ton with this idea.
Thousands of delegates, advisers,
specialists and newspaper corre-
spondents attending the San Fran
cisco United Nations Conference
wanted to see the great redwoods of
California. the tallest living things
on earth. Lord Halifax of Great
Britain and Jan SHUTS OF the Union
of South Africa even slipped away
incognito on special sightseeing eX-
cursions to such nearby redwood
forests preserves as the Big Basin
Redwood State Park and Muir
Woods. Rangers in both Of these res
ervations now rejoice in store Of
anecdotes about their appreciation
Of these American wonders"
In company with these former
Washington scientists and their
wives-Dr. and Mrs. A. Kent Balls,
DR.. and Mrs. William F. Rose (she
was Helen Buckley, DR.. and Mrs.
James Stubbs, DR.. and Mrs. Joseph
Keyes, DR.. and Mrs. Oliver Emerson,
DR.. and Mrs. B. Axelrod-and the
Rose and Axelrod children, I, too,
am now among the thousands of
weekend campers in the 10000
acre area included in the Big Basin
Redwood State Park.
September Perfect.
September is the warmeSt and
most perfect mcnth in all the IL
here in the San Francisco neighbor-
hood for camping out among the
great redwood trees. The coastwise
trees are called Sequoias, semper
virenS to distinguish them from the
Sequoia gigantea of the Yosemite
Park region.
The dependability Of the Califor-
mia climate Is also in its most in
gratiating phase, since campers may
be confident that there will be no
rain.
Each camp site includes a rustic
table and bench seats, barbecue
type of wood stove, a food locker,
running water and nearby sanitary
facilities. Wood for the stoves may
be purchased for Is cents a bundle
or be brought in by the campers.
Some use a sort of briquet compos-
ite. The charge is so cents a night
for each camper.
Both overnight campers and day
picnickers are orderly, courteous
and self respecting. Unseemly
drinking or boisterousness is not
permitted, and all merry making
must be over and lights out by 1890
pm.
1t was after camping experience
in this area in the sos, the tocsin
was sounded to save the redwoods,
when Ralph Smith, editor of the
California Times and Gazette,
warned his readers that the great
trees, whose warm, cinnamon brown
colored timber had built the San
Francisco of the early days, would
pass from the earth If the lumber
men were unopposed.
Inspire Reverence.
These redwoods were first seen by
white men of the Portola expedition.
One of his chroniclers writes con-
corning them: Here are trees of
girth so great, that eight men placed
side by side with extended arms are
unable to embrace them
Today, many of these same red
woods, said to be as old as the
Christian era itself, create their
own environment Of dignity, which

I. A. Carson Continues
His Long Winning Streak

Winning exoneration for Mrs.
frankie Weaver, last Tuesday for
the fatal shooting of her husband
last week, was another victory for
Terrence A. Carson, Phoenix at
torney, who a year ago saved
Frank Miller from the gas cham
Der in the Supreme Court of Ari-
zona. Mr.. Carson seems to have a
genious for cross-examination of
witnesses in court. In 1928 he de-
Tended Orville Hardman in one of
the most noted murder cases that
was ever tried in the State of Ari-
zona and in largely due to the
cross-examination that he won this
case.
Mr.. Carson is rated in "Who is
Who in Arizona" as one of the
greatest Constitutional lawyers of
the West. He was Chief Counsel
in the famous intangible tax case
involving 100000, which was on
in the Supreme Court of Arizona.
He has had more cases in >the Su-
preme Court of Arizona, than any
single lawyer in Arizona, since he
was admitted to practice in 1923.
MI. Carson is profound student
of Shakespeare and spends lots of

history of Pima county.
In Maricopa, Recorder Roger

For years he conducted law
classes for the Arizona State Bars
examination and his students near
ly always rated first. He is an
authority on the law of evidence
and several other branches of law.
His only hobby is hard work and
he loves good music. He is now
one of the attorneys in the Irene
Moore case, which is now on ap-
peal in the Supreme Court of Ari-
zona. She was sentenced to death
in the Maricopa County Superior
Court and with Mr.. Carson in the
case on appeal, her friends are bet
ting that the case will be reversed.
Mr.. Carson was not in the case in
the Superior Court. There is no
other lawyer in the State of Ari-
zona who has had the spectacular
legal career that Mr.. Carson has
had.
Mr.. Carson, last year, reversed
the only criminal case that was
ever reversed on re-hearing in the
Supreme Court of Arizona, the.
case of Red Guilden from Gila

Louis-Conn Fight Claimed Fraud
Sen. Ernest w. Mcfarland
Wins Approval Of Increase
For OId-Age Pensioners

Phoenix, June 21.-AriZona's old
age pensioners looked to Washing
ton today for a $5-a-month in
crease in federal assistance.
Sen. Ernest w. Mcfarland won
Senate approval of a $5-a-month
boost in the general contribution
to state aid for the elderly folk
and totally blind, and $3,-a-
month increase in allotments to
needy dependents. These increases
do not have to be matched by the
states.
Sen. Mcfarland tackled the in
crease measure on a minor bill,
which was passed. Word from
Washington indicated House ap-
proval of the proposal.
The nationwide Order of Rail-
way Conductors this week gave
official endorsement to the candi-
dacy of Sen. Mcfarland in notices
received in Arizona from w. D.
Johnson, vice-president and nation
al legislative representative of the
ORC. The endorsement was ap-
proved by H. w. Frasey, president
of the ORC.

Ted R. Drey Asks Question

"Have you called your friends
in your neighboring town lately ?
Were the tollcharges for your chat
on the phone reasonable, or did
you wonder why it cost so much
for such a short distance?
Those were the embarrassing
questions being asked by Ted R.
Drey, General Manager of the
Drey onstruct ON Company
Phoenix, Arizona, this week.
So far, neither the phone COM
panieS of Arizona, nor the mem
bers of the Corporation Commits
sion, who have the full and COM
plete authority to fix intra-state
toll rates, have found an answer
that will satisfy the thousands of
small town residents definitely un-
happy about the whole thing.
Perhaps the questions are unfair
since Ted R. Drey, himself, is a
candidate for the Corporation Com
mission; and yet, if he doesn't t
bring the matter up, others will.
"I didn't realize how much the
small communities of Arizona were
being penalized on toll phone serv-
ice,". Drey declared, until a friend
called it to my attention. I inves-
tigated and found, to my surprise,
that some of the rates are out
rageous."
I'm some cases it costs more to
phone from one point in the state
to another than it costs to travel
the same distances by bus. The
arbitrary zone system set up by
some telephone systems has re-
suited in excessive charges that
should not be tolerated"
"Since the members of the cor
poration commission have full and
complete authority to fix such
telephone toll rates under the Ari-
zona Constitution and the Revised
Code, the Corporation Commission
has the power to fix rates for all

HUSBAND KILLER
is EX0NERATED

On Tuesday of this week, Fran
kie Weaver, wife of Robert Lee
Weaver, was discharged on pre-
liminary examination by Judge
Westfall of the East Phoenix Pre-
cinct for the murder of her hus-
band. The evidence showed that
Robert Lee Weaver had been a
prize fighter and had threatened
to kill her on numerous occasions.
That on the day of the killing he
had a knife and told her that he
would kill her when he was trying
to drag her out of the car. The
defendant was defended by Ter
renee A. Carson, who cross-ex-
amined the states witnesses and
showed that the killing was justi-
fled. Seldom if ever a defendant
is discharged on preliminary ex-
animation.

O'Toole, who saw Joe Louis
knock out Billy Conn via televi-
sion broadcast in Washington,
branded the heavyweight cham
pionship battle terrible fraud
which smelled on ice."
In a statement volunteered to
reporters, O'Toole continued: "By
actual count there were only 1S
punches that landed.
"Tickets were sent out through
the mails. When the house con-
venes / am going to demand that
the postmaster general bar use OF
the mails to Mike Jacobs. :"
O'Toole said ne "could foresee
what was going to happen" when
he asked then Secretary of War
Stimson not to permit a Louis
Conn fight when the champion
was in the army during the war.
Senator Johnson, Democrat, Col
orado, who also saw the television
broadcast, commented:
Louis certainly is the Brown
Bomber. He was trying to catch
Conn throughout the fight and he
was a very patient fellow. How
ever, it wasn't much of match,
we'll have to admit" Representa-
tive Randolph, Democrat, West
Virginia, another television wit
ness, expressed the opinion that
Conn was not the fighter he was
when he met Louis in their first
bout.
Some 800 persons - the largest
single audience in television his
tory-witnessed the fight from
Washington. The onlookers, guests
of the National Broadcasting Com
pany, at the Statler Hotel, were
almost unanimous in pronouncing
the show better than ringside
seats at C-note a seat"
Billy Conn knows the answer.
He was knocked out by one of the
greatest of champions, bleeding
from cuts across his left cheek
and nose, Conn sat smiling on a
rubbing table deep under Yankee
Stadium last night and declared
with solemn finality that he would
never fight again.
"The Kid from Pittsburgh is put
ting his cue stick in the rack" said
the gamester who had gone down
under an eight-round barrage from
the fists of Louis. you've seen
the Kids last fight. It's not there
any more"
Tears glistening in his eyes, lit
tie Johnny Ray, who raised Billy
from a pup in the boxing game,
added his own sad words to Conn's
valedictory. There's no use 60
ing on if he's going to get his head
knocked off. Bill will never fight
again. He's done. We're not kid
ding ourselves"
In every respect, except for
those who had their hearts bent
upon Joe Louis retaining his
crown, it was lugubrious ending
to what had given bright prom
ise of being one of the memorable
events of boxing history.
For defending his title success
fully for the 22nd time, Louis fig
ured to draw approximately $751;
700 as his end of the purse. Conn's
share was approximately $289, 900.
