CHOPS HID BUT DODGE CITY, Kas., April 12 (jT) The wind-swept southwest looked up through disappearing dust clouds today, counted crop losses of more than $30,000,000. . and took as a cue the words of a jovial, grimy-faced Kansas wheat farmer. "Me leave this country?" said Arthur Adams, of Ford county. Kansas, as he looked over fields blown clean of wheat. He laugh ed and slapped his .overalls from which a miniature' dust storm arose. "Lordy, no. No dust can drive me ouL" " Adams hasn't had a wheat crop in four years, but looks for rain next month and, if moisture comes, expects to have a profitable corn crop.

(Continued from Pjt 1) the largest number that can be adequately cared for by a single officer. I stated that as to these 591 men, there was a minimum of supervision. I added this Is by no means the fault of the parole officer'. "I criticized the granting of pardons by certain of the govern ors of Oregon, among whom your name does not appear. My state ments concerning pardons were derived from an accurate tabula tion made by the officials of the Oregon state penitentiary, giving the name, number, date of sen tence and date of pardon of every person who was pardoned by a governor of Oregon, for the past 12 years. "Governor Martin was also fur nished with an identical state ment That statement shows that 308 convicts were pardoned from the penitentiary during the peri od, of whom 48 have been re quired to serve time in the peni tentiary since their pardons. I stated that 27 men during this pe riod who had been sentenced to life imprisonment for murder were pardoned and that the aver age time served by them was 9.9 years. '"I stated that 101 men who had been sentenced by the courts to terms of 1 0 years or more each, received pardons during the pe riod and that the average time served by these 101 men was 3.51 years each. I also stated that 94 convicted robbers were pardoned in 12 years, 18 per cent of whom have served time since their par don. First Offenders Should Be Paroled "I emphatically urged -the use of probation and parole, whenever possible, for first offenders, and for seven years upon the bench I have practiced what I preach in that respect. I strongly urged that the state must provide an adequate probation system sim ilar to the federal one. I should have expected you to be the most enthusiastic supporter of that pro posal. I also urged that we must 'put habitual criminals out of cir culation and keep them out.' "I have not replied to you let ter for the purpose of entering any personal controversy with you. My criticisms were not aimed at, nor did they touch you or your work, nor did I dream that you wtuld attempt to fit the shoe to your own foot. There were 3 9,3 82 boys, 19 years of age or younger, whose arrest by state officers was reported to the federal division of investigation during the first nine months of 1934. These boys should not be sent to the penitentiary to mingle with hardened criminals, when it can be avoided."

"Mr. Mulr, my Informant, a Los Angeles man and reputed to be holder of the key position for the union, replied, 'No, it won't be a strike. We just Intend to tie up everything!' "I have been instrumental In heading off several scattered and small walkouts in the union in recent weeks, pleading that they should wait at least until May 6."

The chief a year or so ago was told by the then Superintendent George Hug that fire drills were being conducted in the schools, he declared.

I have three men on two pumpers where I should have anywhere from five to eight men. The under writers recommendation would have doubled the size of the de partment and one man over; that was before it was cut down."

Warning Against Selling Beer to Inebriate Given Beer dealers who may nave been selling beer to intoxicated persons face a "crack down" from the police committee of the city council, Chairman Walter Fuhrer warned yesterday. He said that reports coming to him of this practice indicated action was ne cessary. "For instance, there are two or three habituals I've noticed who shouldn't be able to buy beer," Fuhrer said. "Before the city lost its stamp tax on beer and the state took the taxing over, we had one officer who made the roands of these places. Now he is needed for other duties just as much as for keeping watch on beer shops. Bat we'll not tand for selling beer to anyone who is intoxicated."
