State Parks Are
,Janmed By Public

COLUMBUS, OHIO-'Ohio's 55
state parks, many of them with
water recreational areas for bath
ing, boating and fishing, are now
receiving the most heavy public
use in their history, reported V.
w. Flickinger, chief of the Divi-
sion of Parks of the Ohio Depart
ment of Natural Resources, who
estimated total visitation this sea-
son would top by more than mil
lion last years all-time record of
S,500,000 persons.
While the Division of Parks
primary concern is to make avail
able enjoyable and clean recrea-
tional areas for all, their chief
concern is for safety of the pub
lie, especially while in and on the
water. The Division of Parks pro-
vides, as far as Is practical, safe
bathing beaches, life guard serv-
ice, Zoned swimming and boating
areas and other facilities for safe
ty of park visitors but the key to
complete safety, common sense"
must be provided by the swimmer
or boater, Mr.. Flickinger empha-
sized. Pointing out few precau-
tions people should take and cit
ing some of the most frequent vi
olations, the chief of the Division
of Parks warned, when some
people get around water, they
leave their common sense behind.
They drive carefully to the lake
or stream, watching red lights and
not passing on curves. They're
cautious, sober citizens until they
Sc water, and then they drown
themselves.
They may do it by swimming
alone or In unsuperviSed areas.
They become overtired or are
taken by cramps in deep water,
and that's all! Or perhaps they
dive into strange waters that con-
tain hidden rocks, logs, or other
debris.
There always seems to be a
Strong-boy that fancies himself a
distance swimmer. But even
champions get cramps. Champ
ions, however, have a boat accom-
panying them on distance swims.
Most novices don't and they may
become obituaries in their home
town papers.
"One of the greatest water dam
gers is horseplay in boats. It
doesn't make sense, but a lot of
people doing this can't even swim.
A boat in deep water is no place
for horseplay. Save it for the
beach.
Other fatal boating mistakes
are standing to change seats. cast
bait or pull in the anchor. In such
cases the standing person may
lose his balance and either fall in
the lake, capsize the boat, or both.
If you wish to change seats, pull
In to shore. Sit while casting; it's
the experts way. And don't stand
while bringing in the anchor -
kneel in the bow of the boat.
In case of boating mishap,
stay with the boat. A capsized or
waterfilled craft will safely sup
port its occupants until help ar
rives.
Water safety is simply a mat
ter of using your head. In the fun
and excitement of boating and
swimming, don't leave your COM
mon sense behind"

A top job in the Justice De-
partment-the post of Solicitor
General-still appears to be go
ing begging.
Department officials insist an
appointment may be made soon
but all evidence indicates that
no final selection has been made.
The difficulty is reported to be
getting a "big name" lawyer at
the $17,000-a-year salary, not
withstanding the prestige. The
solicitor speaks for the Govern
ment in the Supreme Court and
in the legal profession the job
rates deep respect.
Actually, the Office has not
been regularly filled for a year.
Philip B. Perlman of Baltimore,
who held it for five years, re-
signed in August 1852 to return
to private law practice.
The work then fell to Robert
L. Stern, 44-year-old Justice De-
partment career man who was
assistant under Mr.. Perlman. Mr..
Stern, who has been with the de-
partment 19 years, was given the
title of acting solicitor and has
directed the Supreme Court cases
almost ever since.
After the November elections
put the Democratic administra-
tion on borrowed time, Walter
j. Cummings, youthful Chicago
lawyer, was appointed solicitor
and served briefly without Sen
ate confirmation.

TARRAGONA, Spain, Aug. 10.
-Spain's enemies are trying to
destroy her sreligious unity by
introducing immodeSt clothes in
the country, Benjamin Cardinal
Arriba Castro, Archbishop of
Tarragona, charged in a pastoral
letter just made public.
The prelate said Communists
were supporting a campaign un-
der which foreigners appear in
Scanty bathing and other cos
tunes. He said the campaign
is undermining the Christian
faith in Spain.
The pastoral was part of a
move to forbid light clothing at
summer resorts and beaches.
The law provides that mems
trunks and the skirts of Women'S S
swim suits must reach to mid
thigh; women'S chests must be
completely covered and men
must wear tops. Bathrobes must

Tom Connally is a gray-maned
political warrior who has re-
tired to the sidelineS, but the
fiery Texan is snorting his dis
approval these days over the
conduct of some of his fellow
Democrats.
Retirement has dulled neither
the mind nor the tongue that
kept him in Congress for almost
36 years and made his an inter-
national figure. He is observing
his 10th birthday today and has
this to say about his party:
THE Democrats can override
this business of Dragging about
their support of President EiSen-
hover. That sort of thing may
be no help in the years to come.
Besides, they should make
it clear they will vote for a
program on its merits alone
not whether Eisenhower is for
or against it. Most things the
Democrats have supported were
programs which were initiated
by the Democrats in the first
place. They've just been voting
for what they believed in all
the time
Resides Here With Wife.
Senator Connally made the
statement as he said on the
pleasant tree-shaded porch of
the home in the District where
he lives with his wife and his
memories of the years when he
was an actor in history making
events.
Speaking of Gen. Eisenhower,
he said:
Il think Ike'S capital stock
is his personal popularity as a
war hero. I think his popularity
is still holding-maybe not as
strong as it was, but it's still
there. And there's no doubt the
Democrats in Congress have
helped him with their support
on several measures.
I think he's shown very
clearly that he has an extremely
conservative viewpoint. Many
of his Important appointments
have gone to men with no prac-
tical experience in Government
or politics-though they may
have had experience in big buSi-
ness and monopolies.
IF this trend continues, it's
going to hurt. him. People don't
want big business to domi-
nate us"
Advocated Bipartisan Policy.
During the years he was chair
man of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee. Senator Con-
nally was a strong advocate of
a bipartisan foreign policy. But
he says too often bipartisanShip
runs afoul of partisan interests.
He added: "BipartisanShip de-
pends a great deal, too, on
whether the majority party
really wants a bipartisan policy"
Senator Connally held the
craftsmanship of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee
through the crucial years of
1941-52, except for the G. o. P.
Congress of 1947-48. He intro
duced the resolutions declaring
war on Germany, Japan, Italy
and the. satellite nations. He
helped guide a long list of his
tory-making legislation through
the Senate. And he was a
ranking delegate at the birth
of the United Nations in San
Francisco in 1945.
But he is remembered most for
his skill in debate which de-
lighted those who ever saw his

Outlook on Earnings
For Steel. Industry
Reported Improving
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK. May 6.-The
earnings outlook of the steel in
dustry "has taken a sharp turn
for the BETTER" the Iron Age,
Woodworking trade weekly said
today.
The profit potential of steel
companies has been raised, the
publication said, by the follow
ing:
Increases in extra charges and
base prices; prospects of excess
profits tax relief later this year:
consumer demand that appears
to assure high operating rates
through most of the year. and
prospects that the wage question
will be settled without a strike.
In addition, it said. any wage
increase won by the steelworkers
will be passed on to consumers
by raising base prices of steel,
thus maintaining the higher
earnings potential.
Further Raises Seen.
The Iron Age predicted that
increases in extra charges, which
are designed to cover costs OF
special processing to meet con-
sumer specifications, eventually
will embrace nearly all tonnage
products.
Most producers declined to es-
innate the average of such in
creases, the trade weekly said,
contending such an average is
meaningless to the individual
user and that changes in such
charges usually bring changes in
buying patterns. But 1t added:
"The Iron Age has arrived at
the following estimated averages
of extra increases per net ton
based on representative orders
on mill books:
"Hot and cold-rolled sheets
and hot-rolled strip. up 81 to 81;
hot-rolled carbon steel bars. up
slightly less than $5; cold-fin-
ished carbon bars and steel
shafting, up slightly under SO;
concrete reinforcing bars. up 81;
wire rods, up So to 4; nails.
negligible increase: fence. no
change to So higher depending
on type); baling wire, up Sc; wire
fabric, up about 4 per cent.
Nickel Costs Reflected.
extras on some grades of al
10y bars and semi finished steel
ranged up to $50 a ton, rejecting
increases in cost Of nickel.
Changes in extras on carbon
tube rounds ranged from minus
SO to plus So"
Steel business continues at a
scorching pace. the publication
said, although it reported soft
ness in some wire products and
galvanized sheets, and said third
quarter order books are slow to
fill on small sizes of cold finished
bars.
The Iron Age steel scrap COM
posite price continued to de-
cline. dropping so cents a ton
to 1888 a gross ton. Steelmak-
ing operations this week were re-
ported unchanged at 1905 per
cent of rated capacity.
