Corcoran. New Peal lawyer, had tried to force him to vote for the death sentence provision In the utilities bill, by threats of stopping work on the PiisMiuimiuoddy project. Corcoran was then put on the stand and denied the main features of Brewsters story, whereupon the Maine congressman shouted. Youre a liar. Corcoran explained wilh facility his activities In behalf of the utilities measure. lie said he was assigned to help with the original drafting of the bill through a direct request from the President" Senators Wheeler and Rayburn, he said, asked him to help bring about passage of the hill. The senate committee on audit and control reported favorably on a resolution calling for a $.'0,000 appropriation to Investigate lobbying In cmfnec tlon with all legislation at this session, and the resolution was adopted by the senate. pERIIAPS It was the summer heat In Washington; perhaps there was a lot of pressure from" the direction of the White House. Anyhow, the backbones of the house Democrats, recently so stiff against dictation" by the administration, weakened most noticeably when ttie house took up the redrafting of the .Tennessee Valley authority act. Nearly all the recent rebels among the Democrats fell Into line and the bill was shorn of every major provision that was objectionable to the President. These amendments were approved: To delete a clause saying the TVA must sell power or chemicals at not less than cost after July 1, 1037. To let the TVA operate without absolute control by the comptroller general over its expenditures. To delete a section preventing the agency from constructing power lines paralleling existing private onea To let the authority decide whether private Interests may build dams or appurtenant works on the Tennessee river or tributaries. This victory greatly heartened the administration forces, and they pressed forward to try for another In the conference on the utilities bill. Also In the senate they tarried on a determined fight for the amendments broadening the powers of the AAA. Senators Borah and Byrd were the chief opponents of the New Dealers In this latter battle. . NE of the hottest scraps of the year "developed between Secretary of the Interior Ickes and Senator Tyd-ingof Maryland over the Inquiry Into s the administration of Gov. Paul M. Pearson In the Virgin" Islands The secretary accused the senator of whitewashing witness .a before . the . Tydlngs and ttie committee; senator retorted by advising the secretary to confine yourself to the duties for which you hate been ap-- . Both" of pointed." them were thoroughly angry and Tydlngs In a letter accused Ickes of seeking cheap publicity." Federal Judge T. Webber Wilson of the Virgin islands had given testimony that exasperated Ickes and the secretary demanded that the Judge be removed from office for "official misconThen Ickes wrote to Tydings duct. a letter carrying his charge of .whiteand saying of the Judges washing testimony: There was no cross examination to test his truthfulness, and If an statement ever needed such a test, it was his." Judge Wilson had told the committee that there had been administrative interference with his court and that Morris Ernst, counsel for the Civil. Liberties union, while a guest of Governor Pearson, had threatened to put him on the spot" In the press unless he granted a rehearing to a government employee accused of theft. . Tydings accused Secretary Ickes of gross deceit upon the American people by stating In an Interior department press release that Paul C. Yates, administrative assistant of Pearson, bad been discharged, when you know know that Mr. Yates had re-and 1 PROVIDE quick employment and the dole, the entire dollar works-relie- f fund must he expended within the next twelve months. Such was the flat statement of President Roosevelt to the state PWA directors, who were gathered In Washington for a two day conference. After discussing the old PWA program, the You are now an ImPresident said: portant part of an even greater effort one to be made during the next year which will provide quick employment, so that we can attain, If possible, the goal we have set within this year 1935. Before the year Is ended we will end the dole we have been paying to employable persons during the last two years. In other words, we must give milf useful work to three and lion people and I believe we are going to do It. In order to 3o It, of course, we are faced by a problem of arithmetic which Is comparatively simple. We have four billion dollars and three and f million people to put'to work with It. That means we have fo average things up. It means that we have on the average about $1,140 per man year. That has to Include the cost of the material, so that the four billion dollars Includes not only th amount we pay the men but also the cost of the material. It Is a perfectly simple arithmetical problem we have to work out an average that will come within the sum of money divided by the number of people we have to put to work. You know, of course, that we have spent a great deal of money during the last two years, but we find now not only that there are additional funds at our disposal but also that the need of permanent work all over the United States Is not yet ended. We find that the deeper we go Into It the more opportunities we have to do constructive work in almost every community In the country."

Secretary of the Navy Claude Swanson has announced that a ship construction program has been decided upon wfiich calls for the construction of 12 destroyers and six submarines. These are In addition to the 15 destroyers and six submarines for which bids have been advertised and will be opened next month. The airplane building program calls for 555 new planes during the current fiscal year. Of these, 282 will be replacement planes for those now In service and 273 will be new craft. Two airplane carriers, and six cruisers now under construction and scheduled for completion In 1937 are,to house some of th'e new planes.

By AMOS JENKINS .. n '" Two hundred miles directly south of Salt Lake along concrete and dmproved highways lies Fish lake. Situated 8,g00 feet above sea level, this little body ot water is nestled near the heart of a series of moun-- . tain ranges which form one of the most picturesque scenic and pleas- ure areas In western America. . . Fish lake ftself is a veritable paradise for the trout fisherman, while the territory surrounding It oilers Jhe tourist and "sight-see- r a delightful retreat from a hot summer sun. Deer and other game are plentiful in the district, and though the territory in the Immediate vicinity of the lake Is Included In a game preserve, hundreds of hunters each year . bag their buckskin in the forests outside the reserve. If you plan to be among the 50,000 people who will visit Fish lake this season, here are some brief directions on how to get there. Out of Salt Lake take U. S. highway 91 through Provo to Nephi; turn on to U. S. 189 and travel to Gunnison. At Gunnison you get on U. S. highway 89 and follow it to Sigurd, and from there the lake Is reached by traveling over State highway 24 to the Plateau reservoir and over' State highway 25 from the reservoir to the lake. You will then have traveled an exact distance of 192 miles. The lake stretching out before you Is a mile wide, six miles long and as much as 150 feet deep. Youll find that Fish lake Is properly named. It Is well stocked with six different variety of trout, Including eastern brook, rainbbw, steelhead, and mackinaw.. Some members of the last two families are becoming very large, and you may be lucky enough to experience the thrill of a battle with 10 or 20 pounder thats game every Inch, In the spring and fall the trout go up Twin; Doctor, Ahderson and Jorgensen creeks for spawning, providing a picturesque sight .because of their great numbers. If youre on hand, you might be able to spot the big fellow that got. away and retrieve your leader or copper line. The Fish lake area is well provided with accommodations. .There is a $70,000 lodge at Twin creek and other hotels at Lake Slde and Doctor Creek, supplying hotel service, and at all of these places there are housekeeping cabins for rent, with commissaries nearby where food supplies, fishing tackle, etc. are obtainable. On the northwest side of the lake there are many ideal camp grounds, reserved for public use, and fh other sections plots may be leased from the Fish Lake National . Forest service on which to construct private homes. From Fish lake proper there are a dozen or more trips to make for and commune with nature unspoiled by civithose who would sight-selizations touch. Seven Mile creek is north of Fish lake and meanders through one of the picturesque mountain valleys of the state. It heads "on a plateau some 11 miles long and more than 11,000 feet above sea .mule deer, and an inspiring level. This is a haven for . retreat for the horseback tourist. Mount Marvin, 11,600 feet in elevation, is east of Seven Mile val- ley, and from its peak on a clear day", a person can see .into seven counties of Utah. , Within the Fish Lake National forest and In the same general dis- trict as the lake, are Maple Grove camp grounds, located at the base ot Pioneer mountain, 20 miles west of Salina, .and Adelaide park, near the mouth of Corn Creek canyon, six miles east of Kanosh. Both places make. ideal picnic and outing spots. . In the same district is. Puffer lake, another haven for fishermen. This lake, 9,000 feet.above sea level, Is situated 20 miles east of Beaver, near the headwaters of Beaver river. The area around the lake supports a good stand of spruce timber and has many beautiful camping places and a cool climate even during the summer months. Campers quite frequently make horseback rids to Mount Holly, Delano and Belknap peaks, from which views of most of central and southern Utah can be had. Delano, with an elevation of 12,162 feet, . and Mount Belknap 12,131 feet high, are among the really high peaks of Utah. The Beaver district of the Fist lake forest is noted for its large herd of mule deer, estimated at more than 7,000. Along the main highway from Beaver to Puffer lake, large numbers of deer can be seen almost every morning and evening except during the open season. Nearby is Oak Creek canyon, a recreational area four miles east of Oak city, used largely by people Tending "at Oak city, Leamington, Lyndyll, Delta, Hinckley, and Oasis. Chalk Creek canyon, east of Fillmore; Meadow Creek canyon, east of Meadow, and Maple Hollow east of Holden, are increasing in importance each year as recreational areas. Much credit for the accessibility, preservation and sport value of this great recreational area is due the Fish Labe National Forest service. This organization has supervised and sponsored development of recreation grounds, installation of .sanitary garbage disposal facilities and done much to keep the area from becoming too civilized. large-antlere- if wed 11 PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY HEW.EETYE2S Pure!
