"U. s. Spending Is Leading Nation To Socialism, "--HOOver

PALO ALTO, Calf. (P - The nation yesterday had the sober warning of its only living former President that its spending poli- cies, if unchecked, will rob pos terity of its inheritance.
 Former President Herbert Hoo- yer, in significant address, as- serted Wednesday night that the United States lis blissfully driv- ing down the back road to collec- tivism at top speed"
 We have not had great social ization of property" he said. but we are on the last mile to collec- tivism through governmental col lection and spending of the saw ings of the people"
 The country'S President from 1929 to 1883 spoke before an es- timated 10000 persons in the beautiful grass-carpeted Laurence Frost memorial bowl on the Stan ford university, campus, virtual ly in the shadow of the Hoover h. stitute and library on war, revo- lution and peace, founded in 1915.
 The occasion was his 75th birth day celebration, sponsored by the university in tribute to its most famous son, a graduate of it's first class in 1895.
 President Truman's message of congratulations and good wishes was among the thousands which came from all over the world. some of them came from foreign lands where Hoover's administra- ton of relief established his name as a great Humanitarian.
 In his talk, broadcast by the four major networks, he assailed the cost of government.

 Mr. Bevin said that of the for the British dollar shortage is that the United States is welfare state" with high unemployment insurance, sick pay and the possibility of huge medical service:
 ''The United States is much welfare state as are, only it is in different form.''
 Then he cited specific of the dollar drain in Britain Government-supported agricultural price in the United States causing Britain to spend more dollars than the British would like to for food

ALASKA'S FINANCES NOT so BAD

(WraSell SenLlnel)
 In comparison with the State of Washington and good many other States for that matter the Terrorys much discussed financial situation isn't bad as it sometimes sounds. Down in Washington State they find themselves in the red about sixty million dollars and reports indicate that Gov Arthur Langlie prob ably will call special session of the Legislature this fall winter try and find solution Washington al ready has sales tax, property tax and many other kinds of taxes that the Territory has not yet found necessary. It has to find new sources of boost the ante the existing Alaska, the other hand has tapped the sources for sufficient income but finds itself temporarily embarrassed because of court action certain provisions of the tax laws With the income tax law held valid, money is ing in at good to the tax collector but it takes little time Aside from special funds the Territorys timaed for the next six months including next January is $4 296 000 This doesn't include about $60O 900 which mi ght come in from the fish trap tax If court decision favorable Against the four million plus the Territory million and quarter in paid bills against the general fund and Territorial Treas Henry Boden estimates the operating expenses for the six months $1 O5O 00O Therefore the end of January and the Terrtory general fund should be million to the good Of course, this is the premise that the Board of Administration will not haW out any of the approximately five and half million it tied up in the recent bg freeze" This the Board by resolution has agreed to. It is the premise which Treasurer Roden is going to the banks with the proposition that the banks take general fund warrants at face value until enough money comes into the treas ury to meet them which, he anticipated will not be later than January In fact he's set January 2O 1850 the date he'll be able to meet all obligations the banks may hold in warrants Treasurer Roden summed it up in few words the other day before he took off to talk Seattle banks on his proposal
 "This situation is temporary only; there is enough revenue in sight to pay all debts of the Territory if the resolution of the Board of Administration is adhered to- and this will be done without doubt"

Leaves Jail With Loot

ATLANTIC CITY.-P l c e
were somewhat red-faced when
they discovered that a prisoner
not only had sneaked out Of
jail, but took with him Sal be-
longing to a cellmate.
Acting Detective Capt. James
Pike said it all happened this
way:
Twenty-eight-year-old Major
Lofston was jailed for brandish-
ing a loaded revolver at an
other man.
Because the resort Jail is
crowded, Lofston was placed in
a cell with another man, who
was getting over some bolster
GUS celebrating.
Lofston managed to sneak
from his cellmate's pocket a
police receipt for valuables-
S146 in cash checked at the
desk when he was admitted.
Armed with the receipt, LOTS
ton waited for police to change
shifts. He hollered for the new
turnkey, announced that he was
now sober and wanted out.
With his receipt as evidence,
Lofston passed himself off as
his cellmate, collected Sal,
minus SIS for bail. and walked out
a free man.
1t wasn't until the morning
checkup of prisoners that LOTS
tons absence was discovered.
Police Immediately got busy.
They found Lofston at his
home, and s113 in an empty
can.
Back to jail went Lofston
with two new charges against
him-"jailbreak by ruse" and
larceny by trick"

Beavers Get Credit
For Conservation Work

BEAR MOUNTAIN, N. Y.-Three
pairs Of beavers brought to this
area in 1920 by the Palisades inter-
state park commission as an ex-
pertinent r making it possible for
thousands of city families to enjoy
outdoor meals beneath canopies of
lush green foliage despite the rec
ord drought.
Capt. Sterling Gassaway of the
Palisades interstate park police
said the lakes made at beaver
ponds were keeping nearby foliage
in excellent condition.
Henry James. administrative d.
rector for the park commission,
said this was the first large-scale
proof Of the conservation value Of
the commissions long range plan
for drought protection.
"Depressions from the Ice Age
left natural hollows for lakes and
ponds" James said. THE beavers
were placed near these spots and
they damned up water to form
waterholes. The park authorities
built twenty-six lakes at such sites
and the beavers went ahead to
select new natural sites"
